In other recent news, Transocean Ltd . announced the pricing of a $500 million private offering of Senior Priority Guaranteed Notes due 2032, with an interest rate of 7.875% per annum. This move follows a revision by S&P Global Ratings, which adjusted Transocean’s outlook to stable from negative, citing improved liquidity due to recent equity issuances and a proposed debt offering. The company raised approximately $195 million through share issuances in July and August 2025 and closed another equity issuance in September, netting $421 million. Additionally, Transocean’s subsidiary has launched a $50 million cash tender offer to purchase up to $50 million of its outstanding notes, targeting two series of notes in priority order.

Another key development is Transocean’s plan to offer 100 million shares in a public offering, with an option for underwriters to purchase an additional 15 million shares. The proceeds from this offering are intended to repay or redeem debt, including a portion of the $655 million in 8.00% Senior Notes due February 2027. These financial maneuvers are part of Transocean’s broader strategy to manage its debt and improve its financial standing.
