Seadrill Announces Final Voting Results of Its Plan of Reorganization

10/04/2018

Seadrill Limited has announced the voting results for its Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. The near unanimous support from the voting ballots reflects the overwhelming support for the Company's Plan and reorganization efforts. Of the 530 ballots cast by creditors voting on the Plan, 529 or 99.8% of all voting creditors aggregated across all creditors classes (excluding ballots cast by holders of interests) voted to accept the Plan. Shareholders voted approximately 29,000,000 shares in the Company, with 24,983,115 or 86% of shares voted to accept the Plan. The Plan received approval from every single class of creditors and holders of interests entitled to vote, far exceeding the required thresholds.

The voting results demonstrate the broad-based support by creditors and shareholders of the Company's reorganization transaction, which provides more than $1.08 billion of new capital, defers all secured credit facilities' maturities by approximately five years, and provides significant covenant relief.
