Borr Drilling Limited - Update on Share Repurchase Program
Hamilton, Bermuda, December 12, 2024. Borr Drilling Limited (“Borr Drilling” or the “Company”) (NYSE and OSE: BORR) refers to i) its announcement on 6 November 2024, where
the Company announced the authorization by its Board of Directors of a commitment to repurchase $20 million worth of shares within year end 2024, under its previously announced $100 million share repurchase authorization, and ii) the announcement on
November 20, 2024, where the Company announced the completion of the first $10 million repurchases under the $20 million authorization (the “First Tranche”).
The Company has entered a new agreement with DNB Markets (“DNB”) to effect the purchase of the remaining $10 million worth of shares under the $20 million authorization in
open market transactions on OSE and NYSE by December 31, 2024 (the “Second Tranche”).
The purchases under the Second Tranche will commence on December 13, 2024, and will be completed by December 31, 2024, provided, however, that the Company may discontinue
or suspend the repurchases at any time without notice.
The intention of the repurchase program is to service its shareholders by way of reducing the share capital. Aggregate repurchases under the Second Tranche are capped at
$10 million and 4 million shares, and the maximum amount payable per share is USD 5.00. The Company cannot predict how many shares that will be repurchased or the timing of any
purchases under the Second Tranche.
DNB will carry out the Company’s instructions on the acquisition of shares, and will make its trading decisions independently of, and uninfluenced by, the Company. The
Second Tranche of the repurchase program will be completed in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 (“MAR”) and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 (“Safe Harbour Regulation”).
This information is subject of the disclosure requirements pursuant to Section 5-12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and Article 5 of the Market Abuse Regulation.
