SDRL - Seadrill refinances three high specification ultra-deepwater units

Hamilton, Bermuda, July 10, 2014 - Seadrill Limited ("Seadrill" or the "Company") has received commitments from 17 banks for a US$1.35 billion credit facility with a 5 year term and 10 year amortization profile to refinance the credit facilities secured by the West Pegasus, West Gemini, and West Orion.  The transaction was initially launched as a US$900 million facility secured by two ultra-deepwater units.  However, due to strong interest from the Company's banking group, the facility was upsized to US$1.35 billion by including one additional ultra-deepwater unit in the collateral package.  The new loan will be priced at a margin of Libor plus 2% and was substantially oversubscribed, demonstrating the strength of Seadrill's credit in the banking market.  This refinancing will provide Seadrill with US$350 million in additional cash.

By concluding this transaction the Company will be left with one ultra-deepwater and four jack-up units to be refinanced in 2015 and one ultra-deepwater and four jack-up units in 2016, totalling US$1.2 billion to be refinanced.

The Seadrill Group has gone to great lengths to diversify its sources of funding through opportunistic capital raises in the secured ECA, secured bank, unsecured bond, convertible bond, term loan B, and MLP markets.  Having access to numerous markets reduces refinancing risk and leads to decreased cost of capital that ultimately maximizes value creation for shareholders.  Seadrill's diversified funding strategy has resulted in the Company being in the best possible financial situation in the Company's history, with significant financial flexibility to support the dividend and prepared to act on potentially attractive acquisition opportunities created by the temporary weakness in the market.  The Board is pleased with the significant progress made on the financing front over the last twelve months and wants to give credit to management for hard work and solid execution.

SDRL - Seadrill launches voluntary incentive payment offer to convert the US$650 million 3.375% 2017 convertible bond

Hamilton, Bermuda, July 18, 2014 - Seadrill Limited ("Seadrill" or the "Company") announces today that is launching a voluntary incentive payment offer to convert any and all of the US$650 million principal amount of 3.375% Seadrill convertible bonds due 2017 (the "2017 Bonds").
On July 8, 2014 Seadrill launched a voluntary exchange offer that was contingent upon the successful completion of a new convertible bond issuance.  Due to the adverse share price development on the day of the issue leading to an unfavorable conversion price, both transactions were cancelled.  A consequence of the cancellation of the incentive payment offer was that a number of convertible bondholders were harmed due to the common practice of hedging during a conversion offer.
The Board bears significant responsibility to all stakeholders and never intends to harm any of the Company's loyal supporters, however, the Board was left with the difficult decision to accept an unattractive deal or create this unfortunate situation.  The Company and the Board will not be forced to transact in any market at unfavorable terms, therefore saw cancellation as the only viable alternative.  In light of this the Board has decided to launch a new voluntary incentive payment offer which will not be contingent on the completion of any other transaction in order to counter the negative effects of last week's events.  We look forward to putting this unfortunate situation behind us and continue our innovative and cost effective funding strategy.
Seadrill hereby makes an offer of an incentive payment to the 2017 Bondholders who elect to exercise their conversion rights from this public announcement until July 24, 2014 at 5pm CET (the "Acceptance Period"). Bondholders may elect to receive the incentive payment in cash or in shares of Seadrill. If a bondholder does not make such election, they will receive the incentive payment in cash. Seadrill may at its sole discretion extend the Acceptance Period (one or more times). Seadrill will accept any acceptance of the voluntary incentive payment offer from an eligible Bondholder that is validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the voluntary incentive payment offer document during the Acceptance Period. Bondholders holding in excess of 60% of the convertible bonds outstanding have pre-committed to accept the voluntary incentive payment offer.
Bondholders exercising their conversion rights during the Acceptance Period will receive (i) 3,612 Seadrill ordinary shares per US$100,000 principal amount of the 2017 Bonds, (ii) a consideration of approximately US$11,840 per US$100,000 principal amount of the 2017 Bonds in cash or share of Seadrill (as adjusted in accordance with the incentive offer document) and (iii) accrued interest on the 2017 Bonds from April 27, 2014 (excluded) to July 28, 2014 (included).
The voluntary incentive payment offer will not affect the rights of 2017 Bondholders who do not wish to exercise their conversion rights during the Acceptance Period.

SDRL - Disclosure of Large Shareholder

Hamilton, Bermuda, July 28, 2014 - Tor Olav Trøim has been employed by the Seatankers Group on a full time basis since 1995. Mr Trøim has, during this period, been an instrumental force in assisting the Seatankers Group in the transformation of Greenwich Holdings Ltd. (the parent in the Seatankers Group) from a shipping company focused on the tanker industry to a major investment company with significant direct and indirect holdings in more than 15 public and private companies covering a variety of industries.

Mr Trøim and the Seatankers Group have, over the last year, discussed how to organise their cooperation going forward. The background for this is that Mr Trøim wishes to focus his resources on fewer investments, primarily by spending more of his time developing Golar LNG Ltd. into a leading integrated LNG provider in the rapidly changing and fast growing LNG industry and continuing to develop Seadrill Limited as the world's preeminent offshore drilling company. It has been agreed, between Mr Trøim and the Seatankers Group, that Mr Trøim will leave his full time position with the Seatankers Group effective as of July 31, 2014 and thereafter provide independent investment and advisory services to the Seatankers Group. The purpose of this agreement is to continue to make Mr Trøim's resources available to Seatankers in order to assist with the continued development and growth of Seadrill and Golar, including their listed subsidiaries and affiliated companies.

Mr Trøim will continue as Vice Chairman in Golar LNG Ltd. and Seadrill Ltd. He will also continue as Chairman of the board in Golar LNG Partners LP and Seadrill Partners LLC. In addition Mr Trøim will remain an ordinary Board member in SapuraKencana Petroleum Berhad and Archer Limited. He is furthermore expected to join the board of directors of North Atlantic Drilling Ltd.

Tor Olav Trøim and John Fredriksen say in a joint comment: "We have enjoyed 19 years of cooperation and are both pleased with the achievements we have made during this period. We look forward to continuing our successful partnership, albeit in a different format in the future."

Mr Trøim wants to give a separate thank you to John Fredriksen for the opportunity he was given when he was hired by the Seatankers Group in 1995 and also for the dynamic working relationship and freedom he has enjoyed in his position. "It has been a pleasure to work with great colleagues and some of the best management teams in the world to develop industry leading companies within the Shipping, Offshore and Salmon industry." Mr Trøim says.

Mr Trøim has, in connection with the change of role, today acquired 3,000,000 shares in Golar LNG and 2,000,000 shares in Seadrill from World Shipholding and Hemen Holding.

Hemen Holding Ltd's affiliated ownership in Seadrill following this transaction is 113,097,583 shares. In addition, Hemen Holding holds TRS agreements, with exposure to 3,900,000 shares and Famatown owns call options over 2,023,465 shares. Mr Trøim's direct and indirect holding in Seadrill Limited following this transaction is 2,635,000 shares. In addition Mr Trøim holds call options over 1,011,732 shares and TRS agreements with exposure to totally 600,000 shares in Seadrill Limited.
