Borr Drilling Limited - Increase in share capital

Reference is made to Borr Drilling Limited's (the "Company") (NYSE and OSE: "BORR") stock exchange releases related to the Convertible Bond offering launched on 24 January 2023. Following the successful placement of the $250 million Convertible Bonds, the Company has entered into a share lending agreement (“SLA”) with the intention to make up to 25 million shares available for the purposes of facilitating investors' hedging activities, of which 15 million shares are immediately available. Please refer to the stock exchange notice published by the Company on 24 January 2023 for further details of the SLA.

The new shares are currently placed under a separate ISIN and are not admitted to trading on Oslo Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange.

To provide the 15 million initial loan shares under the SLA, the Company's issued share capital has been increased by $1,500,000 to $24,426,359.80, divided into 244,263,598 shares, each with a nominal value of $0.10 per share.

The subsequent 10 million loan shares to be made available under the SLA will be made available subject to approval from a special general meeting of the Company scheduled 23 February 2023 to increase the authorised capital of the Company.

The loan shares will be held in treasury and cancelled upon redelivery. Redelivery may occur by repayment of the Convertible Bonds or decrease in the demand for hedging shares for other reasons, or expiry of the SLA.

This announcement does not constitute an offer of securities for sale in the United States. The new loan shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act“) and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons (other than distributors) unless the securities are registered under the Act, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act is available.

This information is subject to the disclosure requirements pursuant to section 5 -12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.

Hamilton, Bermuda, 1 February 2023
