Borr Drilling announces pricing of 260 million of 3.50% convertible senior notes due 2033

Borr Drilling Limited announced the pricing of $260 million in aggregate principal amount senior notes due in 2033 to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. The Company has also granted the initial purchasers of the Notes an option to purchase, within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the Notes are first issued, up to an additional $40 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes, solely to cover over-allotments, if any, in connection with the offering. The offering is expected to close on or about April 17, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of the Company, bear interest at a rate of 3.5% per annum, payable semi-annually, beginning on November 1, 2026, mature on May 1, 2033, and be convertible into the Company’s common shares, cash, or a combination of shares and cash, at the Company’s election. The conversion rate for the Notes will initially equal 125.0000 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $8.00 per common share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.
The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), at our option at any time, and from time to time, on or after May 5, 2030 if the last reported sale price of our common shares has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
If we undergo a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture that will govern the Notes), holders may require us to purchase the Notes in whole or in part for cash at a fundamental change purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the sale of the Notes (including any Notes sold pursuant to the initial purchasers’ option to purchase additional Notes, if exercised) to repurchase our existing convertible bonds due 2028 (the “2028 Convertible Bonds”), and for general corporate purposes.
The Company has agreed with certain holders of the 2028 Convertible Bonds to repurchase $195.2 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Bonds for $224.5 million, including accrued interest. The Company expects that holders of the 2028 Convertible Bonds who agree to have their 2028 Convertible Bonds repurchased and who have hedged their equity price risk with respect to such notes (the “hedged holders”) may unwind all or part of their hedge positions by purchasing the Company’s common shares and/or entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions with respect to the Company’s common shares. The amount of the Company’s common shares to be purchased by the hedged holders or in connection with such derivative transactions may be substantial in relation to the historic average daily trading volume of the Company’s common shares. This activity by the hedged holders could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Company’s common shares, resulting in a higher effective conversion price of the Notes. The Company cannot predict the magnitude of such market activity or the overall effect it will have on the price of the Notes or the Company’s common shares.
The Notes sold in the offering were only offered and sold to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act by means of a private offering memorandum.
