VANTAGE DRILLING INTERNATIONAL

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Recent Events

Vantage Drilling International, a Cayman Islands exempted company, is an international offshore drilling company focused on operating a fleet of modern, high specification drilling units. Our principal business is to contract drilling units, related equipment and work crews, primarily on a dayrate basis to drill oil and natural gas wells for our customers. Through our fleet of drilling units, we are a provider of offshore contract drilling services to major, national and independent oil and natural gas companies, focused on international markets. Additionally, for drilling units owned by others, we provide construction supervision services for rigs that are under construction, preservation management services for rigs that are stacked and operations and marketing services for operating rigs.

Joint Venture

On November 15, 2017, Vantage and ADES, through their subsidiaries, entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement to form an entity named ADVantage to provide deepwater drilling services offshore of Egypt.  ADVantage, which is a joint venture, owned 51% by Vantage and 49% by ADES, commenced a drilling services contract with Dana Gas Egypt Limited (“Dana Gas”) in May 2019 (the “Egyptian Drilling Contract”) to perform deepwater drilling services offshore of Egypt. The term of the Egyptian Drilling Contract was for one well with the option to extend the term by up to three additional wells.  On September 24, 2019, Dana Gas assigned the Egyptian Drilling Contract to Belayim Petroleum Company (“Petrobel”), a joint venture of Eni and Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation, pursuant to which Petrobel has exercised an option under the Egyptian Drilling Contract to extend the term for one well.  On October 15, 2019, ADVantage became entitled to perform drilling services for Petrobel.

Repurchase Offer       

On July 8, 2019, we commenced an offer (the “Repurchase Offer”) to repurchase up to $75.0 million of the 9.25% First Lien Notes.  See “Note 6. Debt” for additional information regarding the Repurchase Offer.       

Drilling Contract Arbitration        

On June 20, 2019, VDEEP and VDDI entered into the Petrobras Agreement with the Petrobras Parties relating to the Petrobras Award.  See “Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies” for additional details pertaining to the Petrobras Agreement and the Petrobras Award.    

Brazil Improbity Action

On April 27, 2018, the Company was added as an additional defendant in a legal proceeding initiated by the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor against certain individuals, including an executive of Petrobras and two political lobbyists, in connection with the contracting of the Titanium Explorer drillship to Petrobras under the Drilling Contract, with the Brazilian Government and Petrobras as plaintiffs. See “Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies” for additional details regarding the legal proceeding initiated by the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor.       

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Consolidation: The accompanying interim consolidated financial information as of September 30, 2019 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 has been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, and includes our accounts and those of our majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. They reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods, on a basis consistent with the annual audited financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to provide for fair presentation. The balance sheet at December 31, 2018 is derived from our December 31, 2018 audited financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

In addition to the consolidation of our majority owned subsidiaries, we also consolidate VIEs when we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE is based on whether an entity has (1) the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Our determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE considers all relationships between us and the VIE.

11

ADVantage is a joint venture company formed to operate deepwater drilling rigs in Egypt. We determined that ADVantage met the criteria of a VIE for accounting purposes because its equity at risk was insufficient to permit it to carry on its activities without additional subordinated financial support from us. We also determined that we are the primary beneficiary for accounting purposes since we have the (a) power to direct the operating activities, which are the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and (b) obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive a majority of the benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE. As a result, we consolidate ADVantage in our consolidated financial statements, we eliminate intercompany transactions and we present the interests that are not owned by us as “Noncontrolling interests” in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The carrying amount associated with ADVantage was as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Includes deposits with financial institutions as well as short-term money market instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased.

Inventory: Consists of materials, spare parts, consumables and related supplies for our drilling rigs.

Property and Equipment: Consists of our drilling rigs, furniture and fixtures, computer equipment and capitalized costs for computer software. Drilling rigs are depreciated on a component basis over estimated initial useful lives ranging from five to thirty-five years on a straight-line basis as of the date placed in service. Other assets are depreciated upon placement in service over estimated initial useful lives ranging from three to seven years on a straight-line basis. When assets are sold, retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is included in “Operating costs” or “General and administrative” expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, depending on the nature of the asset. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized a net loss of approximately $0.1 million related to the sale or retirement of assets.  No gain or loss was recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2019 related to the sale or retirement of assets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized a net loss of approximately $1.2 million and a net gain of approximately $1.3 million, respectively, related to the sale or retirement of assets.

We evaluate the realization of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss on our property and equipment exists when estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized would be computed as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over the estimated fair value. Estimates of future cash flows require us to make long-term forecasts of our future revenues and operating costs with regard to the assets subject to review. Our business, including the utilization rates and dayrates we receive for our drilling rigs, depends on the level of our customers’ expenditures for oil and natural gas exploration, development and production expenditures. Oil and natural gas prices and customers’ expectations of potential changes in these prices, the general outlook for worldwide economic growth, political and social stability in the major oil and natural gas producing basins of the world, availability of credit and changes in governmental laws and regulations, among many other factors, significantly affect our customers’ levels of expenditures. Sustained declines in or persistent depressed levels of oil and natural gas prices, worldwide rig counts and utilization, reduced access to credit markets, reduced or depressed sale prices of comparably equipped jackups and drillships and any other significant adverse economic news could require us to evaluate the realization of our drilling rigs. In connection with our adoption of fresh-start accounting upon our emergence from bankruptcy on the Effective Date, an adjustment of $2.0 billion was recorded to decrease the net book value of our drilling rigs to estimated fair value. The projections and assumptions used in that valuation have not changed significantly as of September 30, 2019; accordingly, no triggering event has occurred to indicate that the current carrying value of our drilling rigs may not be recoverable.

Interest costs and the amortization of debt financing costs related to the financings of our drilling rigs are capitalized as part of the cost while they are under construction and prior to the commencement of each vessel’s first contract. We did not capitalize any interest for the reported periods.

Intangible Assets: In April 2017, pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement with a third party, we completed the purchase of the Vantage 260, a class 154-44C jackup rig, and a related multi-year drilling contract for $13.0 million. In connection with our acquisition, the Company recorded an identifiable intangible asset of $12.6 million for the fair value of the acquired favorable drilling contract. The resulting intangible asset was amortized on a straight-line basis over the two-year term of the drilling contract, which ended in April 2019. We recognized approximately $1.6 million of amortization expense for intangible assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and approximately $1.6 million and $4.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.  

12

Debt Financing Costs: Costs incurred with debt financings are deferred and amortized over the term of the related financing facility on a straight-line basis which approximates the interest method. Debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability.  

 Rig and Equipment Certifications: We are required to obtain regulatory certifications to operate our drilling rigs and certain specified equipment and must maintain such certifications through periodic inspections and surveys. The costs associated with these certifications, including drydock costs, are deferred and amortized over the corresponding certification periods.

Income Taxes: Income taxes are provided for based upon the tax laws and rates in effect in the countries in which operations are conducted and income is earned. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or tax deductible amounts and are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. We recognize interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of income tax expense.

Concentrations of Credit Risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable. We maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. We monitor the credit ratings and our concentration of risk with these financial institutions on a continuing basis to safeguard our cash deposits. We have a limited number of key customers, who are primarily large international oil and gas operators, national oil companies and other international oil and gas companies. Our contracts provide for monthly billings as services are performed and we monitor compliance with contract payment terms on an ongoing basis. Payment terms on customer invoices typically range from 30 to 45 days. Outstanding receivables beyond payment terms are promptly investigated and discussed with the specific customer. We do not have an allowance for doubtful accounts on our trade receivables as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to property and equipment, income taxes, insurance, employee benefits and contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Earnings (loss) per Share: We compute basic and diluted EPS in accordance with the two-class method. We include restricted stock units granted to employees that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends as such grants are considered participating securities. Basic earnings (loss) per share are based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted EPS are computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares and ordinary share equivalents outstanding in the applicable period, as if all potentially dilutive securities were converted into ordinary shares (using the treasury stock method).

The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares used for the basic and diluted EPS computations:

The following sets forth the number of shares excluded from diluted EPS computations:

The ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes, if converted, are excluded as the conditions necessary for conversion had not been satisfied as of the end of the reporting period.

Functional Currency: We consider USD to be the functional currency for all of our operations since the majority of our revenues and expenditures are denominated in USD, which limits our exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations. We recognize currency exchange rate gains and losses in “Other, net” in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized a net gain of approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to currency

13

exchange rates. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized net gain of approximately $0.1 million and a net loss of approximately $1.0 million, respectively, related to currency exchange rates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The fair value of our short-term financial assets and liabilities approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet principally due to the short-term nature or floating rate nature of these instruments. At September 30, 2019, the fair value of the 9.25% First Lien Notes and the Convertible Notes was approximately $339.5 million and $594.3 million, respectively, based on quoted market prices in a less active market, a Level 2 measurement.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards:

We adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842) on January 1, 2019 electing to initially apply the standard on a modified retrospective basis as of January 1, 2019 and to not restate comparative periods as outlined in ASU No. 2018-11, "Leases - Targeted Improvements." Accordingly, we continue to report periods prior to January 1, 2019 in our financial statements under prior guidance as outlined in ASC Topic 840, "Leases." The new lease standard requires that substantially all leases be recorded on the balance sheet as right of use assets and lease obligations. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on our consolidated results of operations or cash flows. We determined that there was no cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In addition, we elected certain practical expedients, which permit us to not reassess whether existing contracts are or contain leases, to not reassess the lease classification of any existing leases, to not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases, and to not separate lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets. As a lessee, we also made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off of the balance sheet for all classes of underlying assets. Adoption of the new standard resulted in an increase in the Company’s assets and liabilities of approximately $9.2 million as of January 1, 2019.      

Our drilling contracts contain a lease component related to the underlying drilling equipment, in addition to the service component provided by our crews and our expertise to operate such drilling equipment. As outlined in ASU 2018-11, we have determined that the non-lease service component of our drilling contracts is the predominant element of the combined component and continue to account for the combined components as a single performance obligation under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The bareboat charter contract on the recently acquired Soehanah jackup rig is considered a new lease as of the acquisition date and is accounted for as an operating lease under the new standard.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software." This ASU requires capitalization of certain implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods therein with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to materially affect our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses.” This ASU, and the related ASUs issued subsequently by the FASB, introduce a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial assets held at the reporting date based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. The new model will apply to: (i) loans, accounts receivable, trade receivables and other financial assets measured at amortized cost; (ii) loan commitments and certain other off-balance sheet credit exposures; (iii) debt securities and other financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss); and (iv) beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods therein. We are currently evaluating the effect this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.

3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The activities that primarily drive the revenue earned in our drilling contracts with customers include (i) providing our drilling rig, work crews, related equipment and services necessary to operate the rig, (ii) delivering the drilling rig by mobilizing to and demobilizing from the drill site, and (iii) performing pre-operating activities, including rig preparation activities and/or equipment modifications required for the contract.

The integrated drilling services that we perform under each drilling contract represent a single performance obligation satisfied over time and comprised of a series of distinct time increments, or service periods.

Dayrate Drilling Revenue. Our drilling contracts generally provide for payment on a dayrate basis, with higher rates for periods when the drilling unit is operating and lower rates or zero rates for periods when drilling operations are interrupted or restricted. The dayrate billed to the customer is determined based on varying rates applicable to the specific activities performed on an hourly basis. Such dayrate consideration is allocated to the distinct hourly increment it relates to within the contract term and therefore, recognized as we perform the daily drilling services.

Mobilization/Demobilization Revenue. In connection with certain contracts, we receive lump-sum fees or similar compensation for the mobilization of equipment and personnel prior to the commencement of drilling services or the demobilization of equipment and personnel upon contract completion. These activities are not considered to be distinct within the context of the contract and therefore, the associated revenue is allocated to the overall single performance obligation.

14

Mobilization fees received prior to commencement of drilling operations are recorded as a contract liability and amortized on a straight‑line basis over the initial contract period. Demobilization fees expected to be received upon contract completion are estimated at contract inception and recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial contract term with an offset to an accretive contract asset. In many contracts, demobilization fees are contingent upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of a future event and the estimate for such revenue may therefore be constrained. Fees received for the mobilization or demobilization of equipment and personnel are included in contract drilling revenues.

Capital Upgrade/Contract Preparation Revenue. In connection with certain contracts, we receive lump-sum fees or similar compensation for requested capital upgrades to our drilling rigs or for other contract preparation work. These activities are not considered to be distinct within the context of the contract and therefore, fees received are recorded as a contract liability and amortized to contract drilling revenues on a straight-line basis over the initial contract term.

Contract Termination Revenue. On June 20, 2019, VDEEP and VDDI entered into the Petrobras Agreement with the Petrobras Parties relating to the Petrobras Award (see “Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies” for additional information regarding the Petrobras Agreement and the Petrobras Award). For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized approximately $594.0 million in “Contract termination revenue” and $106.9 million in “Interest income” associated with the Payments (as defined in “Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies”).       

Revenues Related to Reimbursable Expenses. We generally receive reimbursements from our customers for the purchase of supplies, equipment, personnel services and other services provided at their request in accordance with a drilling contract or other agreement. We are generally considered a principal in such transactions and therefore, recognize reimbursable revenues and the corresponding costs as we provide the customer‑requested goods and services.

We have elected to exclude from the transaction price measurement all taxes assessed by a governmental authority.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following tables present our revenue disaggregated by revenue source for the periods indicated:

Dayrate revenue and amortized revenue for Jackups and Deepwater are included within “Contract drilling services” in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. All other revenue, excluding “Contract termination revenue”, are included within “Reimbursables and other” in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Accounts Receivable, Contract Liabilities and Contract Costs

Accounts receivable are recognized when the right to consideration becomes unconditional based upon contractual billing schedules. Payment terms on customer invoices typically range from 30 to 45 days.

We recognize contract liabilities, recorded in other “Other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities”, for prepayments received from customers and for deferred revenue received for mobilization, contract preparation and capital upgrades.  

Certain direct and incremental costs incurred for contract preparation, initial mobilization and modifications of contracted rigs represent contract fulfillment costs as they relate directly to a contract, enhance resources that will be used to satisfy our performance

15

obligations in the future and are expected to be recovered. These costs are deferred as a current or noncurrent asset depending on the length of the initial contract term and are amortized on a straight-line basis to operating costs as services are rendered over the initial term of the related drilling contract. Costs incurred for capital upgrades are capitalized and depreciated over the useful life of the asset.

Costs incurred for the demobilization of rigs at contract completion are recognized as incurred during the demobilization process. Costs incurred to mobilize a rig without a contract are expensed as incurred.

The following table provides information about contract cost assets and contract revenue liabilities from contracts with customers:

Significant changes in contract cost assets and contract revenue liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 are as follows:

We have elected to utilize an optional exemption that permits us to exclude disclosure of the estimated transaction price related to the variable portion of unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of the reporting period, as our transaction price is based on a single performance obligation consisting of a series of distinct hourly increments, the variability of which will be resolved at the time of the future services.

4. Acquisitions

On June 13, 2018, we entered into a share purchase agreement with Ship Finance International Limited to acquire the shares of Rig Finance Limited, an entity that owns the Soehanah jackup rig, a Baker Marine Pacific Class 375 jackup rig, and related bareboat charter to which Rig Finance Limited is a party, for $84.6 million, subject to certain adjustments for working capital and liabilities of the entity not discharged by the acquisition date. We made a down payment of $15.0 million in connection with the execution of the share purchase agreement, and the remaining $69.6 million was paid at closing on December 31, 2018. In May 2019, the parties to the bareboat charter terminated the charterer’s right to acquire the rig at the end of the term of the bareboat charter. 

We accounted for the acquisition as an asset purchase in accordance with accounting guidance considering that substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired was concentrated in the Soehanah jackup rig and in-place lease intangible. Using the cost accumulation model, the cost of the acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired as follows:

Pro forma results of operations related to the acquisition are not material to our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

In April 2017, pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement with a third party, we completed the purchase of the Vantage 260, a class 154-44C jackup rig, and related multi-year drilling contract for $13.0 million. In August 2017, we substituted the Sapphire Driller, a Baker Marine Pacific Class 375 jackup rig, to fulfill the drilling contract. The Vantage 260 was classified as held for sale on acquisition and was sold on February 26, 2018 for $5.1 million.

16

5. Leases

We have operating leases expiring at various dates, principally for office space, onshore storage yards and certain operating equipment. Additionally, we sublease certain office space to third parties. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases with an initial term greater than 12 months are included in “Operating lease ROU assets”, “Other current liabilities”, and “Other long-term liabilities” on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made prior to or at the commencement date and is reduced by lease incentives received and initial direct costs incurred. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally not accounted for separately. Certain of our leases include provisions for variable payments. These variable payments are not included in the calculation of lease liability and ROU assets.

The components of lease expense were as follows:

Operating cash flows used for operating leases approximates lease expense.

As of September 30, 2019, maturities of lease liabilities were as follows:

As of September 30, 2019, the weighted average discount rate and the weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases was 9.25% and 2.7 years, respectively. ROU assets and lease liabilities recorded for leases commencing during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 was $0.7 million.

17

As of December 31, 2018, maturities of lease liabilities as presented under ASC Topic 840 were as follows:

The bareboat charter contract on our recently acquired Soehanah jackup rig is accounted for as an operating lease with charter revenue included in “Reimbursables and other” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. We expect to receive lease payments of approximately $1.3 million during the remaining three month bareboat charter term. In May 2019, the parties to the bareboat charter terminated the charterer’s right to acquire the rig at the end of the term of the bareboat charter. Please refer to “Note 4. Acquisitions” for additional information pertaining to our acquisition of the Soehanah jackup rig.

6. Debt

Our debt was composed of the following, as of the dates indicated:

9.25% First Lien Notes. On November 30, 2018, the Company issued $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.25% First Lien Notes in a private placement. The 9.25% First Lien Notes were issued at par and are fully guaranteed on senior secured basis, by the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries and are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, in each case subject to certain exceptions. The 9.25% First Lien Notes are subject to first payment priority in favor of holders of up to $50.0 million of future super-priority debt and are subject to both mandatory and optional redemption provisions.

The 9.25% First Lien Notes mature on November 15, 2023 and bear interest from the date of their issuance at the rate of 9.25% per year. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and is payable semi-annually in arrears, commencing on May 15, 2019.

The Indenture for the 9.25% First Lien Notes includes customary covenants and events of default, including covenants that, among other things, restrict the granting of liens, restrict the making of investments, restrict the incurrence of indebtedness and the conveyance of vessels, limit transactions with affiliates, and require that the Company provide periodic financial reports.

The net proceeds from the issuance were used (i) to repay all obligations under the 2016 Term Loan Facility and to terminate the credit agreement governing such facility, (ii) to redeem all of our then-outstanding 10% Second Lien Notes, (iii) to fund the remaining amounts to be paid in connection with the purchase of the Soehanah, (iv) to pay fees and expenses related to the foregoing and to the offering of the 9.25% First Lien Notes and (v) for general corporate purposes.

Concurrently with the issuance of the 9.25% First Lien Notes, we entered into a new letter of credit facility to replace the letter of credit facility existing under the 2016 Term Loan Facility. The new facility has a capacity of $50.0 million, with all outstanding letters of credit being cash collateralized. We had issued $9.6 million in letters of credit under this facility as of September 30, 2019.

On July 8, 2019, we commenced the Offer to repurchase up to $75.0 million of the 9.25% First Lien Notes at a purchase price equal to 100.0% of the principal of the 9.25% First Lien Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, but not including, the date fixed for the purchase of the 9.25% First Lien Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer.  The Offer to purchase for cash was made pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 9.25% First Lien Notes in connection with the receipt by our subsidiaries, VDEEP and VDDI, of approximately $690.8 million and $10.1 million, respectively, on June 21, 2019 on account of the Petrobras Award. In accordance with the indenture governing the 9.25% First Lien Notes, we were required to offer to purchase at least $75.0 million of the 9.25% First Lien Notes in accordance with the terms thereof.  No 9.25% First Lien Notes were

18

tendered for purchase as of the Offer Expiration Date. Accordingly, the Company has concluded its obligation under the Indenture to conduct such offer, and, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the proceeds from the Petrobras Agreement (net of direct costs relating to the recovery thereof) will be available for use by the Company without any restrictions under the Indenture.

 Convertible Notes. As part of the Reorganization Plan, the Company issued 4,344,959 New Shares and $750.0 million of the Convertible Notes to certain creditors holding approximately $2.5 billion of pre-petition secured debt claims. The New Shares issued to the creditors and the Convertible Notes may only be traded together and not separately. The Convertible Notes mature on December 31, 2030 and are convertible into New Shares, in certain circumstances, at a conversion price (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Indenture for the Convertible Notes), which was $95.60 as of the issue date. The Indenture for the Convertible Notes includes customary covenants that restrict, among other things, the granting of liens and customary events of default, including among other things, failure to issue securities upon conversion of the Convertible Notes. As of September 30, 2019, taking into account the payment of PIK interest on the Convertible Notes to such date, each such unit of securities was comprised of one New Share and $178.55 of principal of Convertible Notes. As of September 30, 2019, we would be required to issue approximately 8.1 million New Shares if the Convertible Notes were converted.

In connection with the adoption of fresh-start accounting, the Convertible Notes were recorded at an estimated fair value of approximately $603.1 million. The difference between face value and the fair value at date of issuance of the Convertible Notes was recorded as a debt discount and was being amortized to interest expense over the expected life of the Convertible Notes using the effective interest rate method.  The debt discount was fully amortized in February 2019.

Interest on the Convertible Notes, which commenced on June 30, 2016, is payable semi-annually in arrears as PIK, either through an increase in the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes or, if the Company is unable to increase such principal amount, by the issuance of additional Convertible Notes. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months at a rate of 1.0% per annum for the first four years and then increasing to 12.0% per annum until maturity.

The Company’s obligations under the Convertible Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (except for customary release provisions), on a senior secured basis, by all of the subsidiaries of the Company, and the obligations of the Company and guarantors are secured by liens on substantially all of their respective assets. The guarantees by the Company’s subsidiaries of the Convertible Notes are joint and several. The Company has no independent assets or operations apart from the assets and operations of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. In addition, there are no significant restrictions on the Company’s or any subsidiary guarantor’s ability to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan. The Indenture for the Convertible Notes includes customary covenants that restrict the granting of liens and customary events of default, including, among other things, failure to issue securities upon conversion of the Convertible Notes. In addition, the Indenture, and the applicable Collateral Agreements, provide that any capital stock and other securities of any of the guarantors will be excluded from the collateral to the extent the pledge of such capital stock or other securities to secure the Convertible Notes would cause such guarantor to be required to file separate financial statements with the SEC pursuant to Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X (as in effect from time to time).    

The Convertible Notes will convert only upon the approval of the Board of Directors (which approval shall require the affirmative vote of a supermajority of the non-management directors). For these purposes, “supermajority of the non-management directors” means the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the non-management directors eligible to vote.

In the event of a change in control, the holders of the Convertible Notes have the right to require us to repurchase all or any part of the Convertible Notes at a price equal to 101.0% of their principal amount. We assessed the prepayment requirements and concluded that this feature met the criteria to be considered an embedded derivative and must be bifurcated and separately valued at fair value due to the discount on the Convertible Notes at issuance. We considered the probabilities of a change of control occurring and determined that the derivative had a de minimis value at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. 

On June 7, 2019, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had approved the conversion of all of the Convertible Notes into ordinary shares of the Company to take effect on or as promptly as practicable after July 1, 2019, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions required by the indenture governing the Convertible Notes.

The Company then announced on July 18, 2019 that, in light of the Petrobras Agreement between the Petrobras Parties and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, the Board of Directors had decided to reevaluate whether it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to proceed with the Conversion of the Convertible Notes into ordinary shares at this point in time. Accordingly, no action is being undertaken by the Company at the current time to proceed with the Conversion.

7. Shareholders’ Equity

We have 50,000,000 authorized ordinary shares, par value $0.001 per share. Upon emergence from bankruptcy on the Effective Date, we issued 5,000,053 ordinary shares in connection with the settlement of Liabilities Subject to Compromise in accordance with the Reorganization Plan and the VDC Note. As of September 30, 2019, 5,000,053 ordinary shares were issued and outstanding.

   On August 9, 2016, the Company adopted the 2016 Amended MIP to align the interests of participants with those of the shareholders by providing incentive compensation opportunities tied to the performance of the Company’s equity securities. Pursuant

19

to the 2016 Amended MIP, the Compensation Committee may grant to employees, directors and consultants stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units or other awards.

TBGs granted under the 2016 Amended MIP vest annually, ratably over four years; however, accelerated vesting is provided for in the event of a QLE. Otherwise, the settlement of any vested TBGs occurs upon the seventh anniversary of the Effective Date. PBGs granted under the 2016 Amended MIP contain vesting eligibility provisions tied to the earlier of a QLE or seven years from the Effective Date. Upon the occurrence of a vesting eligibility event, the number of PBGs that actually vest will be dependent on the achievement of pre-determined TEV targets specified in the grants. No awards were granted to employees or directors during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, 1,030 TBGs and 2,403 PBGs were granted to a single employee of the Company.  During the same period, four members of the Board of Directors were granted 300 TBGs each, for a total of 1,200 TBGs.  In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, 18,889 of previously granted TBGs vested.      

Both the TBGs and PBGs are classified as liabilities consistent with the classification of the underlying securities and under the provisions of ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation are remeasured at each reporting period until settled. Share based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period until settled. We recognized approximately $1.1 million and $7.7 million of share-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Share based compensation expense for PBGs will be recognized when it is probable that the TEV targets will be met. Once it is probable the performance condition will be met, compensation expense based on the fair value of the PBGs at the balance sheet date will be recognized for the service period completed. As of September 30, 2019, we concluded that it was not probable that the TEV performance condition would be met and therefore, no share based compensation expense was recognized for PBGs.

8. Income Taxes

We are a Cayman Islands entity. The Cayman Islands do not impose corporate income taxes. Consequently, we have calculated income taxes based on the laws and tax rates in effect in the countries in which operations are conducted, or in which we and our subsidiaries are considered resident for income tax purposes. We operate in multiple countries under different legal forms. As a result, we are subject to the jurisdiction of numerous domestic and foreign tax authorities, as well as to tax agreements and treaties among these governments. Tax rates vary between jurisdictions, as does the tax base to which the rates are applied. Taxes may be levied based on net profit before taxes or gross revenues or as withholding taxes on revenue. Determination of income tax expense in any jurisdiction requires the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and the use of estimates and assumptions regarding significant future events, such as the amount, timing and character of deductions, permissible revenue recognition methods under the tax law and the sources and character of income and tax credits. Our income tax expense may vary substantially from one period to another as a result of changes in the tax laws, regulations, agreements and treaties, foreign currency exchange restrictions and fluctuations, rig movements or our level of operations or profitability in each tax jurisdiction. Furthermore, our income taxes are generally dependent upon the results of our operations and when we generate significant revenues in jurisdictions where the income tax liability is based on gross revenues or asset values, there is no correlation to the operating results and the income tax expense. Furthermore, in some jurisdictions we do not pay taxes or receive benefits for certain income and expense items, including interest expense, gains or losses on disposal or transfer of assets, reorganization expenses and write-off of development costs.  

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. We provide for deferred taxes on temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates which are expected to apply to taxable income when the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are also provided for certain tax losses and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We do not establish deferred tax liabilities for certain of our foreign earnings that we intend to indefinitely reinvest to finance foreign activities.

In certain jurisdictions we are taxed under preferential tax regimes, which may require our compliance with specified requirements to sustain the tax benefits. We believe we are in compliance with the specified requirements and will continue to make all reasonable efforts to comply; however, our ability to meet the requirements of the preferential tax regimes may be affected by changes in laws or administrative practices, our business operations and other factors affecting the Company and industry, many of which are beyond our control.

Our periodic tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which we operate in accordance with the normal statute of limitations in the applicable jurisdiction. These examinations may result in assessments of additional taxes that are resolved with the authorities or through the courts. Resolution of these matters involves uncertainties and there are no assurances as to the outcome. Our tax years 2010 and forward remain open to examination in many of our jurisdictions and we are currently involved in several tax examinations in jurisdictions where we are operating or have previously operated. As information becomes available during the course of these examinations, we may increase or decrease our estimates of tax assessments and accruals.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to litigation, claims and disputes in the ordinary course of business, some of which may not be covered by insurance. There is an inherent risk in any litigation or dispute and no assurance can be given as to the outcome of any claims.

Matters Related to the Reorganization Plan

In connection with our bankruptcy cases, two appeals were filed relating to the confirmation of the Reorganization Plan. Specifically, on January 29, 2016, Mr. Hsin-Chi Su and his company, F3 Capital, filed two appeals before the U.S. District Court – Delaware seeking a reversal of (i) the Court’s determination that Mr. Hsin-Chi Su and F3 Capital did not have standing to appear and be heard in the bankruptcy cases, which was made on the record at a hearing held on January 14, 2016, and (ii) the Court’s Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order (I) Approving the Debtors’ (A) Disclosure Statement Pursuant to Sections 1125 and 1126(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, (B) Solicitation of Votes and Voting Procedures, and (C) Forms of Ballots, and (II) Confirming the Amended Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Offshore Group Investment Limited and its Affiliated Debtors [Docket No. 188], which was entered on January 15, 2016. The appeals were consolidated on June 14, 2016. On June 21, 2019, the U.S. District Court – Delaware rendered a decision affirming the U.S. Bankruptcy Court’s confirmation order relating to the Reorganization Plan.  As Mr. Hsin-Chi Su and F3 Capital did not file a subsequent appeal of the U.S. District Court – Delaware’s decision within the prescribed period of time, the order of the U.S. District Court – Delaware constitutes a final, non-appealable order and therefore the foregoing matter is closed.

On January 10, 2019, Mr. Hsin-Chi Su and F3 Capital filed a declaratory action against us in the U.S. District Court – Delaware seeking a ruling from the court that the confirmation of the Reorganization Plan does not prevent Mr. Hsin-Chi Su or F3 Capital from suing the Company for certain unspecified claims based on a theory of fraud alleged to be valued in excess of $2.0 billion. On March 4, 2019, we filed a motion to dismiss with the court, to which Mr. Hsin-Chi Su and F3 Capital filed a response and to which we subsequently filed a reply. We intend to vigorously defend against these claims, which we deem to be meritless. However, we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate decision by the court with respect to Mr. Hsin-Chi Su’s request.

Drilling Contract Arbitration

On August 31, 2015, PAI and PVIS, both subsidiaries of Petrobras, notified the Company of the termination of the Drilling Contract between PVIS and VDEEP and which had been novated to PAI and VDDI, claiming the Company had breached its obligations under the Drilling Contract. VDEEP and VDDI are both wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. We immediately filed an international arbitration claim against the Petrobras Parties, claiming wrongful termination of the Drilling Contract.

On July 2, 2018, an international arbitration tribunal issued the Petrobras Award in favor of VDEEP and VDDI. The tribunal found that the Petrobras Parties breached the Drilling Contract, and awarded VDEEP and VDDI damages in the aggregate amount of $622.0 million against the Petrobras Parties, and dismissed the Petrobras Parties’ counterclaims against the Company with prejudice. The tribunal also awarded the Company interest on the foregoing award amount at an annual rate of 15.2%, compounded monthly, to accrue from (i) April 1, 2018, with respect to $615.6 million thereof, (ii) October 20, 2015, with respect to $5.2 million thereof, and (iii) November 19, 2015, with respect to $1.2 million thereof, in each case, until final payment of the Petrobras Award. In accordance with the terms of the Petrobras Award, each of the Company and Petrobras bore its own legal fees, and the fees and expenses of the tribunal, including the compensation of the arbitrators, aggregating approximately $1.5 million, were borne equally by both sides.

On July 2, 2018, VDEEP and VDDI filed a petition (the “Petition”) in the U.S. District Court – Texas to confirm the Petrobras Award against the Petrobras Parties. On August 31, 2018, the Petrobras Parties filed with the U.S. District Court – Texas, among other things, a response to the Petition and a motion to vacate the Petrobras Award (the “Response and Motion to Vacate”). On March 8, 2019, the U.S. District Court – Texas heard both the Petition and the Response and Motion to Vacate.

On May 20, 2019, the U.S. District Court – Texas granted the Petition to confirm the Petrobras Award against the Petrobras Parties and denied the Petrobras Parties’ motion to vacate the Petrobras Award.  On May 22, 2019, the U.S. District Court – Texas rendered its final judgment in favor of VDEEP and VDDI in the amount of approximately $734.0 million.

Separately, in connection with enforcing the Petrobras Award against the Petrobras Parties, VDEEP and VDDI secured an order from the Amsterdam District Court in the Netherlands on August 22, 2018, which froze certain assets of Petrobras and PVIS in the Netherlands that we believe are valued in excess of our claim at this time. On November 15, 2018, VDEEP and VDDI filed a petition in the Court of Appeals in The Hague, the Netherlands, to recognize and enforce the Petrobras Award against the Petrobras Parties in the Netherlands (the “Dutch Enforcement Action”).  On March 1, 2019, the Petrobras Parties filed their statement of defense with the Court of Appeals.  The Court of Appeals heard the petition of VDEEP and VDDI and the Petrobras Parties’ statement of defense on May 14, 2019.

On June 20, 2019, VDEEP and VDDI entered into the Petrobras Agreement with the Petrobras Parties relating to the Petrobras Award. The Petrobras Agreement considered the Petrobras Award amount together with interest calculated through May 22, 2019 and reduced that amount by 4.5%. Pursuant to the Petrobras Agreement, PVIS agreed to pay VDEEP $690,810,875 and PAI agreed to pay VDDI $10,128,565 (collectively, the “Payments”), in full satisfaction and payment of the Petrobras Award and the related judgement

21

entered by the U.S. District Court – Texas confirming the Petrobras Award (the “Judgment”). Neither party released any of its claims, except for certain claims in respect of certain pre-judgement attachments made by VDEEP and VDDI on certain assets of PVIS and Petrobras in the Netherlands. VDEEP and VDDI received the Payments in full on June 21, 2019.  The Petrobras Parties filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit seeking a reversal of the Judgment, which confirmed the Petrobras Award and denied their motion for vacatur. We believe there is no basis for reversal and intend to vigorously contest the appeal.

Under the Petrobras Agreement, VDEEP and VDDI were required to take actions in order to release liens on certain Petrobras assets in the United States and the Netherlands. In addition, the parties agreed under the Petrobras Agreement to a stay of the Dutch Enforcement Action until such time as there is a final, non-appealable judgment in the U.S. proceedings or until such time as the Petrobras Parties assert a claim for reimbursement of all or any part of the Payments, whichever is earlier.

In light of the retention by the Petrobras Parties of their rights, including the right to appeal the Judgment, the Petrobras Parties may assert a claim for the return of all or a portion of the Payments made to satisfy the Petrobras Award in the event the U.S. judgment is overturned on appeal. The Company can provide no assurances as to the ultimate outcome of any such appeals. In addition, the Payments received by VDEEP and VDDI will be subject to reductions due to currently owed and future legal fees (including, among others, a contingency fee equal to 10% of the Payments) and any applicable taxes. Accordingly, no assurances can be given as to the amount of the Payments to be ultimately realized by the Company. 

Brazil Improbity Action

On April 27, 2018, the Company was added as an additional defendant in a legal proceeding initiated by the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor against certain individuals, including an executive of Petrobras and two political lobbyists, in connection with the contracting of the Titanium Explorer drillship to Petrobras under the Drilling Contract, with the Brazilian Government and Petrobras as plaintiffs. Vantage is alleged to have been involved in and benefitted from the purported bribery scheme at Petrobras through Hamylton Padilha, the Brazilian agent our former parent company, VDC, used in the contracting of the Titanium Explorer drillship to Petrobras, and Mr. Hsin-Chi Su, a former member of VDC’s board of directors and a significant shareholder of VDC. We first became aware of the legal proceeding on July 19, 2018 as it was previously under seal. On March 22, 2019, we were formally served in the United States and on April 12, 2019, we filed our preliminary statement of defense with the 11^th Federal court of the Judicial Branch of Curitiba, State of Parana, Brazil (the “Brazilian Federal Court”). We understand that the legal proceeding, which is called an improbity action, is a civil action and is part of the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor’s larger “Car Wash” investigation into money laundering and corruption allegations at Petrobras.            

The damages claimed in the proceeding are in the amount of BRL 102.8 million (approximately $31.0 million), together with a civil fine equal to three times that amount. We understand that the Brazilian Federal Court issued an order authorizing the seizure and freezing of the assets of the Company and the other three defendants in the legal proceeding, as a precautionary measure, in the amount of approximately $124.0 million. We and the other three defendants are jointly and severally liable for this amount. The seizure order has not had an effect on our assets or operations, as we do not own any assets in Brazil, and do not currently intend to relocate any assets to Brazil. On February 13, 2019, we learned that the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor had previously requested mutual legal assistance from the U.S. Department of Justice pursuant to the United Nations Convention against Corruption of 2003 to obtain a freezing order against our U.S. assets in the amount of $124.0 million. We believe this request is not supported by applicable law and intend to vigorously oppose and defend against any attempts to seize our assets.    

On April 12, 2019, we filed an interlocutory appeal with the 4^th Circuit of the Federal Court of Appeals in Porto Alegre, State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil (the “Brazilian Appellate Court”), the appellate court hearing appeals in the “Car Wash” cases, to stay the seizure and freezing order of the Brazilian Federal Court.

On May 20, 2019, the Company announced that the Brazilian Appellate Court ruled in favor of the Company’s appeal to stay the seizure and freezing order of the Brazilian Federal Court. The foregoing ruling is still subject to confirmation by a three-judge panel, and is subject to appeal, and the Company can offer no assurances that the stay will be confirmed or as to the outcome of any appeal thereof. The Company has communicated the Brazilian Appellate Court’s ruling to the DOJ, and has asked the Brazilian Federal Court to do the same. On July 18, 2019, the Company announced that the Brazilian Government made a filing with the Brazilian Federal Court reporting that the DOJ has advised the Brazilian Ministry of Justice that it would not be possible for the DOJ to comply with the mutual assistance request in respect of the asset freeze order.  The Company also announced that it learned from the Brazilian Ministry of Justice that the DOJ’s response to the request for mutual assistance stated that no legal grounds existed for the implementing the requested asset freeze, and that the DOJ was returning the request without taking action and considers the matter concluded.

The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against the allegations made in the underlying improbity action.  However, we can neither predict the ultimate outcome of this matter nor that there will not be further developments in the “Car Wash” investigation or in any other ongoing investigation or related proceeding that could adversely affect us.

Restructuring Agreement

22

Pursuant to the terms of the Restructuring Agreement among VDC and a majority of our secured creditors, the Company agreed to the Reorganization Plan and VDC agreed to commence official liquidation proceedings under the laws of the Cayman Islands. On December 2, 2015, pursuant to the Restructuring Agreement, the Company acquired two subsidiaries responsible for the management of the Company from VDC in exchange for the VDC Note. In connection with our separation from VDC, we and the Joint Official Liquidators, appointed to oversee the liquidation of VDC entered into discussions regarding the settlement of certain intercompany receivables and payables as between the Company and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and VDC and its subsidiaries, on the other.
