The Transocean’s subsidiaries will not make any payments after the relinquishment of the Drillships to the SHI for the under-construction contract.

An approximate of $1.1 billion is the estimated cost for the delivery and placement of the Drillships. This would include the future payments to SHI under construction contracts, cost of spares, materials and supplies, the cost of commission and mobilization of rigs.
