Hamilton, Bermuda, September, 15, 2026 - Borr Drilling Limited (NYSE and OSE:
BORR) ("Borr Drilling" or the "Company") today announced that it has entered
into definitive agreements to divest its 51% equity interest in the Mexican
joint ventures Perforaciones Estratégicas e Integrales Mexicana S.A. de C.V. and
Perforaciones Estratégicas e Integrales Mexicana II, S.A. de C.V. (together,
"Perfomex") to its long-standing local partner in Mexico (the "Transaction").
Upon completion of the Transaction, Borr Drilling will have fully divested
Perfomex, while its local partner will become the sole owner of Perfomex and
assume responsibility for the management and operation of the Company's jack-up
rigs Galar, Gersemi and Njord, which are currently operating with PEMEX. The
Company will retain ownership of the three rigs and continue participating in
the underlying contracts through bareboat charter agreements, with economics
expected to be largely unchanged from the existing arrangement. Njord is
currently contracted through April 2028, with extension options thereafter,
while Galar and Gersemi are contracted through May 2030.
The Transaction follows Borr Drilling's recent expansion in Mexico with the
acquisition of five premium jack-up rigs, which the Company jointly owns through
BC Ventures Limited, a 50/50 joint venture with its local partner. Following
completion of the Transaction, Perfomex will continue its operations related to
integrated well services and PEMEX, while Borr Drilling will independently
operate and market its fleet to other operators in the region through its
affiliated companies.
The Transaction is expected to simplify Borr Drilling's corporate and operating
structure in Mexico. The Company believes the streamlined structure strengthens
its local partnership, creates a more efficient platform for future growth in
Mexico and supports the deployment of additional Borr rigs as demand develops in
this well-established shallow-water market.
Under the terms of the definitive agreements, a post-closing transition period
is expected to facilitate the orderly transfer of operational responsibilities
to Borr Drilling's local partner.
The sale consideration for the Transaction is based on the estimated net book
value of the Company's equity interest in Perfomex as of July 31, 2026.
The Transaction is expected to close in September 2026, subject to customary
closing conditions.
