德克萨斯州SUGAR LAND,2024年8月22日/美通社/ - 诺贝尔公司plc(“母公司”及旗下子公司“诺贝尔”)(纽交所:NE,cse:诺贝尔)今日宣布,其全资子公司诺贝尔金融二公司(“发行人”)已完成先前披露的额外发行(“发行”)单独担保的8.000% 2030年到期的新票据(“新票据”)总额8亿美元。诺贝尔打算利用发行的净收益用于支付与其即将完成的与Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc.的合并交易中的现金偿付以及一般公司用途。
The New Notes were issued as additional notes under the indenture pursuant to which the Issuer previously issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 8.000% Senior Notes due 2030 (the "Existing Notes") in 2023, all of which remain outstanding. The New Notes have the same terms as the Existing Notes, other than the issue date, the issue price, the first date on which interest will be paid and the first date from which interest will accrue, and are treated as a single series with the Existing Notes under the indenture. The Existing Notes and the New Notes are guaranteed by certain direct and indirect restricted subsidiaries of the Issuer that guaranty the company's revolving credit facility. The New Notes are expected to trade under the same CUSIP numbers as the Existing Notes, except that the New Notes sold pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") will have a different CUSIP number than the Existing Notes until 40 days after the issue date of the New Notes.
新票据是根据先前发行的单独担保的8.000% 2030年到期的现有票据(“现有票据”)的证券协议的附录额外发行的,这些现有票据的总额为6亿美元,始发日期、发行价格、首次支付利息的日期和开始计算利息的首次日期以外,新票据与现有票据的条款相同,并且在证券协议下与现有票据一系列的方式处理。现有票据和新票据由发行人的某些直接和间接受限制的子公司担保,这些子公司担保公司的循环信贷工具。预计新票据将使用与现有票据相同的CUSIP编号进行交易,除非根据《美国1933年证券法修正案》(“证券法”)根据规定S出售的新票据将会有与现有票据不同的CUSIP编号,直至新票据发行后的40天。
The New Notes were offered in the United States only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to persons outside the United States only in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The New Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security, nor shall there be any sale of the New Notes or any other security of Noble, in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
