As previously published, Transocean and Ocean Rig entered into a definitive merger agreement in September, under which Transocean would acquire Ocean Rig in a cash-and-stock transaction valued at approximately US$ 2.7 billion, including Ocean Rig’s net debt. Ocean Rig’s fleet consists of nine high-specification ultra-deepwater drillships and two harsh-environment semisubmersibles, Eirik Raude and Leiv Eiriksson.
Additionally, its fleet includes two high-specification ultra-deepwater drillships currently under construction at Samsung Heavy Industries, with favorable financing conditions for shipyards. These two new builds are expected to be delivered in the third quarter of 2019 and the third quarter of 2020, respectively.
“The proposed acquisition of Ocean Rig provides us with a unique opportunity to continue enhancing our fleet of ultra-deepwater and aggressive floaters without compromising our liquidity or overall balance sheet flexibility”, said Transocean President and CEO Jeremy Thigpen in September.
Subject to a favorable vote from shareholders, Transocean’s fleet will consist of 57 floating rigs post-acquisition.
