Borr Drilling Reports Board Approved 2-For-1 Reverse Stock Split In Order To Cure Non-Compliance With NYSE Rules

Borr Drilling Limited (the "Company") refers to the announcement issued June 29, 2021 regarding the notice from the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") that the Company was not in compliance with the NYSE continued listing standard as the average closing price of its common shares had fallen below $1.00 per share over a period of 30 consecutive trading days.

Today, the Company announces that its Board of Directors has approved a 2-to-1 reverse share split of the Company's shares (the "Reverse Split") in order to cure this non-compliance.

Upon effectiveness of the Reverse Split, every two shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares, par value USD 0.05 per share, will be automatically combined into one issued and outstanding common share, par value USD 0.10 per share. The current issued and outstanding shares of 274,436,351 will be consolidated into approximately 137,218,176 shares (subject to adjustment for fractional shares), and the share capital will remain identical to the pre-Reverse Split amount of $13,721,817.55.

The last trading day before the effective date (last day including rights) will be on December 13, 2021 (T). Trading on a Reverse Split adjusted basis (ex-date) will be on December 14, 2021 (T+1). The record date will be December 15, 2021 (T+2). The new ISIN number for the common shares after the Reverse Split is BMG1466R1732.

Shareholders who would otherwise hold a fractional share of the Company's common shares in connection with the Reverse Split will receive cash payment equal to the closing price per share for the Company's shares on OSE and NYSE, respectively, on the last trading day prior to the ex-date for the Reverse Split. The cash payment is expected to be made to eligible shareholders during the week starting January 3, 2022.

The Company's Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes 2018/2023 conversion price will change from USD 31.7946 per share to USD 63.5892 per share as a result of the Reverse Split.
