The notes will mature on December 15, 2037. We may redeem some or all of the notes for cash after December 20, 2010, in the
case of the Series A notes, December 20, 2011, in the case of Series B notes and December 20, 2012 in the case of Series C notes, in
each case at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest
to, but excluding, the redemption date.
Holders of Series A notes and Series B notes will have the right to require us to repurchase their notes on December 15, 2010
and December 15, 2011, respectively. In addition, holders of any series of notes will have the right to require us to repurchase their

The notes will be convertible in certain circumstances into cash and a number of our ordinary shares determined as described in
this prospectus supplement. The initial conversion rate of the notes is 5.9310, equivalent to a conversion price per ordinary share of
approximately $168.61. These initial conversion rates are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain corporate events but not
for accrued interest. In addition, if certain fundamental changes occur on or before December 20, 2010, with respect to Series A notes,
December 20, 2011, with respect to Series B notes or December 20, 2012, with respect to Series C notes, we will in some cases increase
the conversion rate for a holder electing to convert notes in connection with such fundamental change.
Holders may convert their notes only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter after March 31, 2008 if
the last reported sale price of our ordinary shares for at least 20 trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the
last trading day of the preceding calendar quarter is more than 130% of the conversion price, (2) during the five business days after the
average trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the notes is equal to or less than 98% of the average conversion value of such notes
during the preceding five trading-day period as described herein, (3) during specified periods if specified distributions to holders of our
ordinary shares are made or specified corporate transactions occur, (4) prior to the close of business on the business day preceding the
redemption date if the notes are called for redemption or (5) on or after September 15, 2037 and prior to the close of business on the
business day prior to the stated maturity of the notes. Upon conversion, we will deliver, in lieu of ordinary shares, cash up to the
aggregate principal amount of notes to be converted and ordinary shares in respect of the remainder, if any, of our conversion obligation
in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being converted.
We have also granted to the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional $200,000,000 principal amount of Series A
notes, an option to purchase up to an additional $200,000,000 principal amount of Series B notes and an option to purchase up to an
additional $200,000,000 principal amount of Series C notes.
Our ordinary shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "RIG." The last reported sale price of our
ordinary shares on December 5, 2007 was $127.25 per share.
We do not intend to apply to list the notes on any securities exchange or include them in any automated quotation system.
