NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Recent Events

Vantage Drilling International (the “Company” or “VDI”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, is an international offshore drilling company focused on operating a fleet of modern, high specification drilling units. Our principal business is to contract drilling units, related equipment and work crews, primarily on a dayrate basis to drill oil and natural gas wells for our customers. We also provide construction supervision services for drilling units owned by others. Through our fleet of drilling units, we are a provider of offshore contract drilling services to major, national and independent oil and natural gas companies, focused primarily on international markets. The Company was previously known as Offshore Group Investment Limited and changed its corporate name to Vantage Drilling International effective February 11, 2016.

Restructuring Agreement and Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 Proceeding

On December 1, 2015, we and Vantage Drilling Company (“VDC”), our former parent company, entered into a restructuring support agreement (the “Restructuring Agreement”) with a majority of our secured creditors. Pursuant to the terms of the Restructuring Agreement, the Company agreed to pursue a pre-packaged plan of reorganization (the “Reorganization Plan”) under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and VDC would commence official liquidation proceedings under the laws of the Cayman Islands. On December 2, 2015, pursuant to the Restructuring Agreement, the Company acquired two subsidiaries responsible for the management of the Company from VDC in exchange for a $61.5 million promissory note (the “VDC Note”). As this transaction involved a reorganization of entities under common control, it was reflected in the consolidated financial statements, at carryover basis, on a retrospective basis.

On December 3, 2015 (the “Petition Date”), the Company, certain of its subsidiaries and certain VDC subsidiaries who were guarantors of the Company’s pre-bankruptcy secured debt, filed the Reorganization Plan in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware ( In re Vantage Drilling International (F/K/A Offshore Group Investment Limited), et al. , Case No. 15-12422). On January 15, 2016, the District Court of Delaware confirmed the Company’s pre-packaged Reorganization Plan and the Company emerged from bankruptcy effective February 10, 2016 (the “Effective Date”).

The following table summarizes the components of our pre-bankruptcy debt, all of which was reflected as Liabilities Subject to Compromise (“LSTC”) in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 (in thousands):

  Pursuant to the terms of the Reorganization Plan, the LSTC were retired on the Effective Date by issuing the debtholders securities in the reorganized Company, consisting of one new ordinary share of the reorganized Company (the “New Shares”) and $172.61 of principal of the 1%/12% Step-Up Senior Secured Third Lien Convertible Notes due 2030 (the “Convertible Notes”) . The New Shares and the Convertible Notes are issued subject to the terms of an agreement that prohibits the New Shares and Convertible Notes from being transferred or exchanged separately. For every $1,000 of principal, a note holder received 1.722798 New Shares and $297.37 of principal of Convertible Notes for the 2017 Term Loan, 1.725087 New Shares and $297.77 of principal of Convertible Notes for the 2019 Term Loan, 1.786070 New Shares and $308.29 of principal of Convertible Notes for the 7.5% Senior Notes, and 1.728569 New Shares and $298.37 of principal of Convertible Notes for the 7.125% Senior Notes. In total, these debtholders received 4,344,959 New Shares under the Reorganization Plan.

The New Shares issued to these creditors and the Convertible Notes may only be traded together and not separately. The Convertible Notes are convertible into New Shares in certain circumstances, at a conversion price (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Indenture for the Convertible Notes) which was $95.60 as of the issue date. The Indenture for the Convertible Notes includes customary covenants that restrict the granting of liens and customary events of default, including, among other things, failure to issue securities upon conversion of the Convertible Notes

Other significant elements of the Reorganization Plan included;

8

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement . The Company’s existing credit agreement was amended to (i) replace the $32.0 million revolving letter of credit commitment with a new $32.0 million revolving letter of credit facility and (ii) repay the $150 million of outstanding borrowings with (a) $7.0 million of cash and (b) the issuance of $14 3.0 million initial term loans (the “2016 Term Loan Facility”).

10% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes . Holders of the Company’s pre-petition  secured debt claims were eligible to participate in a rights offering conducted by the Company for $75.0 million of the Company’s new 10% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2020 (the “10% Second Lien Notes”). In connection with this rights offering, certain creditors entered into a “backstop” agreement to purchase 10% Second Lien Notes if the offer was not fully subscribed. The premium paid to such creditors under the backstop agreement was approximately $2.2 million, paid $1.1 million in cash and $1.1 million in additional 10% Second Lien Notes, resulting in a total issued amount of $76.1 million of 10% Second Lien Notes, and raising $73.9 million, after deducting the cash portion of the backstop premium.

VDC Note . Effective with the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy, VDC’s former equity interest in the Company was cancelled. Immediately following that event, the VDC Note was converted into 655,094 New Shares in accordance with the terms thereof, in satisfaction of the obligation thereunder, which, including accrued interest, totaled approximately $62.0 million as of such date.

The Reorganization Plan allowed the Company to continue business operations during the court proceedings and maintain all operating assets and agreements. The Company had adequate liquidity prior to the filing and did not have to seek any debtor-in-possession financing. All trade payables, credits, wages and other related obligations were unimpaired by the Reorganization Plan.

Other Events: In July 2015, we became aware of media reports that Hamylton Padilha, the Brazilian agent the Company used in the contracting of the Titanium Explorer drillship to Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (“Petrobras”), had entered into a plea arrangement with the Brazilian authorities in connection with his role in facilitating the payment of bribes to former Petrobras executives. Among other things, Mr. Padilha provided information to the Brazilian authorities of an alleged bribery scheme between former Petrobras executives and Mr. Hsin-Chi Su, who was, at the time of the alleged bribery scheme, a member of the Board of Directors and a significant shareholder of VDC. When we learned of Mr. Padilha’s plea agreement and the allegations, we voluntarily contacted the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the SEC to advise them of these recent developments, as well as the fact that we had engaged outside counsel to conduct an internal investigation of the allegations. Our internal investigation is ongoing and we are cooperating with the DOJ and SEC in their investigation of these allegations. In connection with our cooperation with the DOJ and SEC, we recently advised both agencies that in early 2010, we engaged outside counsel to investigate a report of allegations of improper payments to customs and immigration officials in Asia. That investigation was concluded in 2011, and we determined at that time that no disclosure was warranted; however, in an abundance of caution, we are reviewing the matter again in light of the allegations in the Petrobras matter. Although we cannot predict the outcome of this matter, if the DOJ or the SEC determine that violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) have occurred, the Company could be subject to civil and criminal sanctions, including monetary penalties, as well as additional requirements or changes to our business practices and compliance programs, any or all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Additionally, if we become subject to any judgment, decree, order, governmental penalty or fine, this may constitute an event of default under the terms of our secured debt agreements and result in our outstanding debt becoming immediately due and payable.

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Consolidation: The accompanying interim consolidated financial information as of March 31, 2016 and for the periods from February 10, 2016 to March 31, 2016, from January 1, 2016 to February 10, 2016 and the three months ended March 31, 2015 has been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and includes our accounts and those of our majority owned subsidiaries and VIEs discussed below. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. They reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods, on a basis consistent with the annual audited financial statements (except for the impact of the application of fresh-start accounting). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to provide for fair presentation. The balance sheet at December 31, 2015 is derived from our December 31, 2015 audited financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 though, as described below, such prior financial statements may not be comparable to our interim financial statements due to the adoption of fresh-start accounting. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

In connection with our bankruptcy filing, we were subject to the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852 Reorganizations (“ASC 852”). All expenses, realized gains and losses and provisions for losses directly associated with the bankruptcy proceedings were classified as “reorganization items” in the consolidated statements of operations. Certain pre-petition liabilities subject to Chapter 11 proceedings were considered as LSTC on the Petition Date and just prior to our emergence from bankruptcy on the Effective Date. The LSTC classification distinguished such liabilities

9

from the liabilities that were not expected to be compromised and li abilities incurred post-petition.

ASC 852 requires that subsequent to the Petition Date, expenses, realized gains and losses and provisions for losses that can be directly associated with the reorganization of the business be reported separately as reorganization items in the consolidated statements of operations. We were required to distinguish pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise from those that are not and post-petition liabilities in our balance sheet. Liabilities that were subject to compromise were reported at the amounts expected to be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, even if they were settled for lesser amounts as a result of the Reorganization Plan.

Upon emergence from bankruptcy on the Effective Date, we adopted fresh-start accounting in accordance with ASC 852, which resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. Upon adoption of fresh-start accounting, our assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair values as of the Effective Date. The Effective Date fair values of our assets and liabilities differed materially from the recorded values of our assets and liabilities as reflected in our historical consolidated balance sheets. The effects of the Reorganization Plan and the application of fresh-start accounting were reflected in our consolidated financial statements as of February 10, 2016 and the related adjustments thereto were recorded in our consolidated statements of operations as reorganization items for the period January 1 to February 10, 2016.  

As a result, our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statement of operations subsequent to the Effective Date will not be comparable to our consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations prior to the Effective Date. Our consolidated financial statements and related footnotes are presented with a black line division which delineates the lack of comparability between amounts presented on or after February 10, 2016 and dates prior. Our financial results for future periods following the application of fresh-start accounting will be different from historical trends and the differences may be material.

References to “Successor” relate to the Company on and subsequent to the Effective Date. References to “Predecessor” refer to the Company prior to the Effective Date. The consolidated financial statements of the Successor have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

In addition to the consolidation of our majority owned subsidiaries, we also consolidate variable interest entities (“VIEs”) when we are determined to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE is based on whether an entity has (1) the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Our determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE considers all relationships between us and the VIE. We consolidated these entities in our Predecessor consolidated financial statements because we determined that they were VIEs and that we were the primary beneficiary.These VIEs who were subsidiaries of VDC, guarantors of our pre-petition debt and were part of the Reorganization Plan, became our subsidiaries upon emergence from bankruptcy on the Effective Date. The following table summarizes the net effect of consolidating these entities on our Predecessor consolidated statement of operations.  

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Includes deposits with financial institutions as well as short-term money market instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased.

Inventory: Consists of materials, consumables, spare parts and related supplies for our drilling rigs and is carried at the lower of average cost or market.

Property and Equipment: Consists of the costs of our drilling rigs, furniture and fixtures, computer equipment and capitalized costs for computer software. Drilling rigs are depreciated on a component basis over estimated useful lives ranging from five to thirty-five years on a straight-line basis as of the date placed in service. Other assets are depreciated upon placement in service over estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years on a straight-line basis. When assets are sold, retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and a gain or loss is recognized.

We evaluate the realization of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss on our property and equipment exists when estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized would represent the excess of the asset’s carrying value over the estimated fair value.  

10

Interest costs and the amortizati on of debt financing costs related to the financings of our drilling rigs are capitalized as part of the cost while they are under construction and prior to the commencement of each vessel’s first contract. We did not capitalize any interest for the report ed periods .

Debt Financing Costs: Costs incurred with debt financings are deferred and amortized over the term of the related financing facility on a straight-line basis which approximates the interest method. Debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the consolidated balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability.  

Revenue: Revenue is recognized as services are performed based on contracted dayrates and the number of operating days during the period.

In connection with a customer contract, we may receive lump-sum fees for the mobilization of equipment and personnel or the demobilization of equipment and personnel upon completion. Mobilization fees received and costs incurred to mobilize a rig from one geographic market to another are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of such contract, excluding any option periods. Costs incurred to mobilize a rig without a contract are expensed as incurred. Fees or lump-sum payments received for capital improvements to rigs are deferred and amortized to income over the term of the related drilling contract. The costs of such capital improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the useful lives of the assets. Upon completion of drilling contracts, any demobilization fees received are recorded as revenue. We record reimbursements from customers for rebillable costs and expenses as revenue and the related direct costs as operating expenses.

Rig and Equipment Certifications: We are required to obtain regulatory certifications to operate our drilling rigs and certain specified equipment and must maintain such certifications through periodic inspections and surveys. The costs associated with these certifications, including drydock costs, are deferred and amortized over the corresponding certification periods.

Income Taxes: Income taxes are provided for based upon the tax laws and rates in effect in the countries in which operations are conducted and income is earned. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts and are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. We recognize interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of income tax expense.

We have early adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-17 effective January 1, 2016 and have retrospectively applied its provisions to all periods presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Application of the ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Concentrations of Credit Risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable. We maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. We monitor the credit ratings and our concentration of risk with these financial institutions on a continuing basis to safeguard our cash deposits. Some of our restricted cash is invested in certificates of deposit. We have a limited number of key customers, who are primarily large international oil and gas operators, national oil companies and other international oil and gas companies. Our contracts provide for monthly billings as services are performed and we monitor compliance with contract payment terms on an ongoing basis. Outstanding receivables beyond payment terms are promptly investigated and discussed with the specific customer. We did not have an allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to property and equipment, income taxes, insurance, employee benefits and contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The fair value of our short-term financial assets and liabilities approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet principally due to the short-term nature or floating rate nature of these instruments. At December 31, 2015, the fair value of the 7.125% Senior Notes and the 7.5% Senior Notes was approximately $15.7 million and $23.5 million, respectively, based on quoted market prices, a Level 1 measurement. These notes are classified as LSTC as of December 31, 2015 and were discharged under the Reorganization Plan on the Effective Date. See “ Note 5. Debt ” for the fair value of our post-petition bankruptcy debt.  

Recent Accounting Standards: In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The ASU supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition requirements in U.S. GAAP, including industry-specific guidance. The ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized when an entity transfers promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also requires significant additional disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. T he ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years, using either a full or a modified retrospective application approach.

11

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification , to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balan ce sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Under these amendments, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases classified as operating leases under ASC 840. The guidance is effective for financia l statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted.

We are evaluating the provisions of ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2014-09 and have not yet determined the impact of these ASUs on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

3. Fresh-Start Accounting

Upon our emergence from bankruptcy, we adopted fresh-start accounting in accordance with ASC 852. We qualified for fresh-start accounting because (i) the reorganization value of the our assets immediately prior to the confirmation was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims and (ii) the holders of existing voting shares of the Predecessor company received less than 50% of the voting shares of the post-emergence Successor entity.

Reorganization Value : Reorganization value represents the fair value of the Successor’s total assets and is intended to approximate the amount a willing buyer would pay for the assets immediately after restructuring. Under fresh-start accounting, we allocated the reorganization value to our individual assets based on their estimated fair values.

Our reorganization value is derived from an estimate of enterprise value. Enterprise value represents the estimated fair value of an entity’s long term debt and shareholders’ equity. The estimated enterprise value of the Company of approximately $954.2 million represents management’s best estimate of fair value on the Effective Date and the value contemplated by the Bankruptcy Court in confirmation of the Reorganization Plan after extensive negotiations among the Company and its creditors. The estimated enterprise value, after adding cash plus the estimated fair values of all of the Company’s non-debt liabilities, is intended to approximate the reorganization value. A reconciliation of the reorganization value is provided in the table below:

Reorganization value and enterprise value were estimated using numerous projections and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and resolution of contingencies that are beyond our control. Accordingly, the estimates set forth herein are not necessarily indicative of actual outcomes, and there can be no assurance that the estimates, projections or assumption will be realized.

In order to estimate the enterprise value of the Company, we used a discounted cash flow methodology. The discounted cash flow analysis estimates the value of a business by calculating the present value of expected future unlevered after-tax free cash flows to be generated by such business. This analysis is supported through a comparison of indicated values resulting from the use of other valuation techniques including: (i) a comparison of financial multiples implied by the estimated enterprise value to a range of multiples of publicly held companies with similar characteristics, and (ii) an analysis of comparable valuations indicated by precedent mergers or acquisitions of such companies.

The financial projections used to estimate the expected future unlevered after-tax free cash flows were based on our 5-year forecast. The projections were prepared by management and are based on a number of estimates including various assumptions regarding the anticipated future performance of the Company, industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond our control. The discounted cash flow method also includes assumptions of the weighted average cost of capital (the “Discount Rate”) as well as an estimate of a residual growth rate used to determine the enterprise value represented by the time period beyond the 5-year plan. The Discount Rate was calculated using the capital asset pricing model and resulted in a Discount Rate of 15.2%. The estimated residual growth rate was developed considering the long-term economic outlook of the industry and geographical regions that the Company operates in and resulted in an estimated rate of 2.0%.

12

Consolidated Balance Sheet : The adjustments set forth in the following condensed consolidated balance sheet reflect the effect of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Plan (reflected in the column “R eorganization Adjustments”) as well as fair value adjustments as a result of the adoption of fresh - start accounting (reflected in the column “Fresh - Start Adjustments”). The explanatory notes highlight methods used to determine fair values or other amounts of the assets and liabilities as well as significant assumptions or inputs.

4. Reorganization Items

Reorganization items represent amounts incurred subsequent to the Petition Date as a direct result of the filing of the Reorganization Plan and are comprised of the following:

For the periods from February 10, 2016 to March 31, 2016 and from January 1, 2016 to February 10, 2016, cash payments for reorganization items totaled $201,000 and $7.3 million, respectively.

5. Debt

Following our emergence from bankruptcy, our debt as of March 31, 2016 and February 10, 2016 was comprised of the following:

15

10% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes. The Company engaged in a rights offering for $75.0 million of new 10 % Second Lien Notes for certain holders of its secured debt claims.  In connection with this rights offering, certain creditors entered into a “backstop” agreement to purchase 10% Second Lien Notes if the offer was not fully subscribed. The premium paid to such creditors under the backstop agreement was approximately $2.2 million, paid $1.1 million in cash and $1.1 million in additional 10% Second Lien Notes, resulting in a total issued amount of $76.1 million of 10% Second Lien Notes, and raising approxima tely $73.9 million in proceeds to the Company, after deducting the cash portion of the backstop premium.

The 10% Second Lien Notes were issued at par and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (except for customary release provisions), on a senior secured basis, by all of the subsidiaries of the Company. The 10% Second Lien Notes mature on December 31, 2020, and bear interest from the date of their issuance at the rate of 10% per year. Interest on outstanding 10% Second Lien Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears, commencing on June 30, 2016. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The 10% Second Lien Notes rank behind the 2016 Term Loan Facility as to collateral.

The Indenture for the 10% Second Lien Notes includes customary covenants and events of default, including covenants that, among other things, restrict the granting of liens, restrict the making of investments, restrict the incurrence of indebtedness and the conveyance of vessels, limit transactions with affiliates, and require that the Company provide periodic financial reports.

1%/12% Step-Up Senior Secured Third Lien Convertible Notes. The Company issued 4,344,959 New Shares and $750.0 million of the Convertible Notes to certain creditors holding approximately $2.5 billion of pre-petition secured debt claims. The New Shares issued to the creditors and the Convertible Notes may only be traded together and not separately. The Convertible Notes mature on December 31, 2030 and are convertible into New Shares, in certain circumstances, at a conversion price (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Indenture for the Convertible Notes) which was $95.60 as of the issue date.

The Company’s obligations under the Convertible Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (except for customary release provisions), on a senior secured basis, by all of the subsidiaries of the Company, and the obligations of the Company and guarantors are secured by liens on substantially all of their respective assets. The guarantees by the Company’s subsidiaries of the Convertible Notes are joint and several. The Company has no independent assets or operations apart from the assets and operations of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Any subsidiaries of the Company other than the subsidiary guarantors are minor. In addition, there are no significant restrictions on the Company’s or any subsidiary guarantor’s ability to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan. The Indenture for the Convertible Notes includes customary covenants that restrict the granting of liens and customary events of default, including, among other things, failure to issue securities upon conversion of the Convertible Notes.

Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears commencing June 30, 2016 as a payment in kind, either through an increase in the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes or, if the Company is unable to increase such principal amount, by the issuance of additional Convertible Notes.  Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months at a rate of 1% per annum for the first four years and then increasing to 12% per annum until maturity.

In connection with the adoption of fresh-start accounting, the Convertible Notes were recorded at an estimated fair value of approximately $603.1 million. The difference between face value and the fair value at date of issuance of the Convertible Notes was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized to interest expense over the expected life of the Convertible Notes using the effective interest rate method.

The principal balance of the Convertible Notes (including payment in kind interest thereon) is convertible into New  Shares at a conversion rate based on an initial price per share of $95.60 per New Share, subject to adjustment, as described in the Indenture for the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes are convertible only (a) prior to the third anniversary of the issue date (February 10, 2016), (i) upon the instruction of holders of a majority in principal amount of the Convertible Notes or (ii) upon the full and final resolution of all potential Investigation Claims (as defined below), as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) (which determination shall require the affirmative vote of a supermajority of the non-management directors), and (b) from and after February 10, 2019 through their maturity date of December 31, 2030, upon the approval of the Board (which approval shall require the affirmative vote of a supermajority of the non-management directors). For these purposes, (i) “supermajority of the non-management directors” means five affirmative votes of non-management directors assuming six non-management directors eligible to vote and, in all other circumstances, the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the non-management directors eligible to vote and (ii) “Investigation Claim” means any claim held by a United States or Brazilian governmental unit and arising from or related to the procurement of that certain Agreement for the Provision of Drilling Services, dated as of February 4, 2009, by and between Petrobras Venezuela Investments & Services B.V. and Vantage Deepwater Company, as amended, modified, supplemented, or novated from time to time.

In the event of a change in control, the holders of our Convertible Notes have the right to require us to repurchase all or any part of the Convertible Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount. We assessed the prepayment requirements and concluded that this feature met the criteria to be considered an embedded derivative and must be bifurcated and separately fair valued due to the discount on the Convertible Notes at issuance. We considered the probabilities of a change of control occurring and determined that the derivative had a de minimis value at March 31, 2016.

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Company entered into the 2016 Term Loan Facility providing for (i) a $32.0 million revolving letter of credit facility to replace the Company’s existing $32.0 million revolving letter of credit commitment

16

under its pre-petition credit facility and (ii) $143.0 million of term loans into which the claims of the lenders under the C ompany’s pre-petition credit facility were converted. The lenders under the Company’s pre-petition credit facility also received $7.0 million of cash under the Reorganization Plan. The obligations under the 2016 Term Loan Facility are guaranteed by substan tially all of the Company’s subsidiaries, subject to limited exceptions, and secured on a first priority basis by substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ assets, including ship mortgages on all vessels, assignments of related earnings and in surance and pledges of the capital stock of all guarantors, in each case, subject to certain exceptions.

The maturity date of the term loans and commitments established under the 2016 Term Loan Facility is December 31, 2019. Interest is payable on the unpaid principal amount of each term loan under the 2016 Term Loan Facility at LIBOR plus 6.5%, with a LIBOR floor of 0.5%. The initial term loans are currently bearing interest at 7.1%. The 2016 Term Loan Facility has quarterly scheduled debt maturities of $357,500 commencing in March 2016.

Fees are payable on the outstanding face amount of letters of credit at a rate per annum equal to 5.50% as such rate may be increased from time to time pursuant to the terms of the 2016 Term Loan Facility.

The 2016 Term Loan Facility includes customary representations and warranties, mandatory prepayments, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including covenants that, among other things, restrict the granting of liens, the incurrence of indebtedness, the making of investments and capital expenditures, the sale or other conveyance of assets, including vessels, transactions with affiliates, prepayments of certain debt and the operation of vessels. The 2016 Term Loan Facility also requires that the Company maintain $75.0 million of available cash (defined to include unrestricted cash and cash equivalents plus undrawn commitments).

Upon the occurrence of specified change of control events or certain losses of our vessels in the agreements governing our 10% Second Lien Notes, Convertible Notes or 2016 Term Loan Facility, we will be required to offer to repurchase or repay all (or in the case of events of losses of vessels, an amount up to the amount of proceeds received from such event of loss) of such outstanding debt under such debt agreements at the prices and upon the terms set forth in the applicable agreements. In addition, in connection with certain asset sales, we will be required to offer to repurchase or repay such outstanding debt as set forth in the applicable debt agreements.

6. Shareholders’ Equity

We have 50,000,000 authorized ordinary shares, par value $0.001 per share. Upon emergence from bankruptcy, we issued 5,000,053 ordinary shares in connection with the settlement of LSTC and the VDC Note. As of March 31, 2016, 5,000,053 ordinary shares were issued and outstanding.  

As of December 31, 2015, the Company was a 100% owned subsidiary of VDC and did not have any equity incentive plans of its own. VDC had the 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan under which time-vested and performance units were awarded to officers and employees of the Company and related share compensation expense was recognized. The vesting of outstanding equity awards provided by VDC was suspended prior to December 31, 2015 as the trading value of the shares of VDC was below the administrative costs of vesting the awards. Outstanding share awards at December 31, 2015 were cancelled due to VDC’s liquidation filing in the Cayman Islands. We recognized share compensation expense allocated from VDC of $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

On February 10, 2016, the Company adopted the 2016 Management Incentive Plan (the “2016 MIP”). Pursuant to the 2016 MIP, the Compensation Committee may grant to executive officers and certain other employees determined by the Compensation Committee, stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock units of the Company, subject to time based vesting and performance based vesting, as determined by the Compensation Committee. As of the Effective Date, the Company established a pool of restricted stock units with an estimated value of $44.5 million for issuance by the Compensation Committee.  No grants from the 2016 MIP have been made to date.

7. Income Taxes

We are a Cayman Islands entity. The Cayman Islands does not impose corporate income taxes. We do not have any domestic earnings; all of our earnings are foreign. Consequently, we have calculated income taxes based on the laws and tax rates in effect in the countries in which operations are conducted, or in which we and our subsidiaries are considered resident for income tax purposes. We operate in multiple countries under different legal forms. As a result, we are subject to the jurisdiction of numerous domestic and foreign tax authorities, as well as to tax agreements and treaties among these governments. Tax rates vary between jurisdictions, as does the tax base to which the rates are applied. Taxes may be levied based on net profit before taxes or gross revenues or withholding taxes on revenue. Determination of taxable income in any jurisdiction requires the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and the use of estimates and assumptions regarding significant future events, such as the amount, timing and character of deductions, permissible revenue recognition methods under the tax law and the sources and character of income and tax credits. Our income tax

17

expense may vary substantially from one period to another as a result o f changes in tax laws, regulations, agreements and treaties, foreign currency exchange restrictions, rig movements or our level of operations or profitability in each tax jurisdiction. Furthermore, our income taxes are generally dependent upon the results of our operations and , when we generate significant revenues in jurisdictions where the income tax liability is based on gross revenues or asset values, there is no correlation between our operating results and the income tax expense. Furthermore, in some jurisdictions we do not pay taxes or receive benefits for certain income and expense items, including interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt and write-off of development costs.   

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. We provide for deferred taxes on temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates which are expected to apply to taxable income when the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are also provided for certain tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

In certain jurisdictions we are taxed under preferential tax regimes, which may require our compliance with specified requirements to sustain the tax benefits. We believe we are in compliance with the specified requirements and will continue to make all reasonable efforts to comply; however, our ability to meet the requirements of the preferential tax regimes may be affected by changes in laws, our business operations and other factors affecting our company and industry, many of which are beyond our control.

Our periodic tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which we operate in accordance with the normal statute of limitations in the applicable jurisdiction. These examinations may result in assessments of additional taxes that are resolved with the authorities or through the courts. Resolution of these matters involves uncertainties and there are no assurances as to the outcome. Our tax years 2008 and forward remain open to examination in many of our jurisdictions and we are currently involved in several tax examinations in jurisdictions where we are operating or have previously operated. As information becomes available during the course of these examinations, we may increase or decrease our estimates of tax assessments and accruals.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to litigation, claims and disputes in the ordinary course of business, some of which may not be covered by insurance. Management does not believe any of these matters will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. There is an inherent risk in any litigation or dispute and no assurance can be given as to the outcome of any claims.

In July 2015, we became aware of media reports that Hamylton Padilha, the Brazilian agent the Company used in the contracting of the Titanium Explorer drillship to Petrobras, had entered into a plea arrangement with the Brazilian authorities in connection with his role in facilitating the payment of bribes to former Petrobras executives. Among other things, Mr. Padilha provided information to the Brazilian authorities of an alleged bribery scheme between former Petrobras executives and Mr. Hsin-Chi Su who was, at the time of the alleged bribery scheme, a member of the Board of Directors and a significant shareholder of VDC. When we learned of Mr. Padilha’s plea agreement and the allegations, we voluntarily contacted the DOJ and the SEC to advise them of these recent developments, as well as the fact that we had engaged outside counsel to conduct an internal investigation of the allegations. Our internal investigation is ongoing and we are cooperating with the DOJ and SEC in their investigation of these allegations. In connection with our cooperation with the DOJ and SEC, we recently advised both agencies that in early 2010, we engaged outside counsel to investigate a report of allegations of improper payments to customs and immigration officials in Asia.  That investigation was concluded in 2011, and we determined at that time that no disclosure was warranted; however, in an abundance of caution, we are reviewing the matter again in light of the allegations in the Petrobras matter. Although we cannot predict the outcome of this matter, if the DOJ or the SEC determine that violations of the FCPA have occurred, the Company could be subject to civil and criminal sanctions, including monetary penalties, as well as additional requirements or changes to our business practices and compliance programs, any or all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Additionally, if we become subject to any judgment, decree, order, governmental penalty or fine, this may constitute an event of default under the terms of our secured debt agreements and result in our outstanding debt becoming immediately due and payable.

10. Business Segment and Significant Customer Information

We aggregate our contract drilling operations into one reportable segment even though we provide contract drilling services with different types of rigs, including jackup rigs and drillships, and in different geographic regions. Our operations are dependent on the global oil and gas industry and our rigs are relocated based on demand for our services and customer requirements. Our customers consist primarily of large international oil and gas companies, national or government-controlled oil and gas companies and other international exploration and production companies.  

We also provide construction supervision services for drilling units owned by others. In September 2013, we signed an agreement to supervise and manage the construction of two ultra-deepwater drillships for a third party. We will receive management fees and reimbursable costs during the construction phase of the two drillships, subject to a maximum amount for each drillship. This business represented approximately 3.2%, 3.2% and 0.9% of our total revenue for the periods from February 10, 2016 to March 31, 2016, from January 1, 2016 to February 10, 2016 and for the three months ended March 31 2015, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the majority of our revenue was from countries outside of the United States. Consequently, we are exposed to the risk of changes in economic, political and social conditions inherent in foreign operations. Three customers accounted for approximately 58%, 18% and 14% of consolidated revenue for the period from February 10, 2016 2016 to March 31, 2016.  Three customers accounted for approximately 47%, 20% and 17% of consolidated revenue for the period from January 1, 2016 to February 10, 2016.  Three customers accounted for approximately 27%, 24% and 19% of consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  

Our revenue by country was as follows (in thousands):
