Hamilton, Bermuda, April 26, 2017 - Seadrill Limited ("Seadrill" or "the Company"), as part of its restructuring plans, has signed and closed an agreement with Archer and its lenders to extinguish approximately $253 million in financial guarantees provided by Seadrill in exchange for a cash payment of approximately $25 million. The Company remains in constructive discussions with Archer and its lenders to extinguish the remaining $25 million of financial guarantees in exchange for a cash payment representing 10% of their face value. As part of Archer's restructuring plans the Company has also agreed to convert $146 million in subordinated loans provided to Archer into a $45 million subordinated convertible loan. The subordinated convertible loan will bear interest of 5.5%, matures in December 2021 and have a conversion right into equity of Archer Limited in 2021 based on a strike price of US$2.083 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment mechanics), which is approximately 75% above the subscription price in Archer's private placement on February 28, 2017.
