Table of Contents
The notes will not be listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and, therefore, this prospectus supplement has been prepared
without regard to the disclosure standards of the listing rules (including any additional Listing Rules or prospectus schemes) of
the SIX Swiss Exchange. The notes will not be publicly offered in Switzerland and, therefore, this prospectus supplement has
been prepared without regard to the disclosure standards for issuance prospectuses under article 652a or article 1156 of the
Swiss Code of Obligations. Neither this document nor any other offering or marketing material relating to these securities or
the offering may be publicly distributed or otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland. This document has not been and
will not be filed with or approved by any Swiss regulatory authority. In particular, this document has not and will not be filed
with the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA.
This communication is only being distributed to and is only directed at (1) persons who are outside the United Kingdom or
(2) investment professionals falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion)
Order 2005 (the "Order") or (3) high net worth companies, and other persons to whom it may lawfully be communicated,
falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Order (all such persons together being referred to as "relevant persons"). The
notes are only available to, and any invitation, offer or agreement to subscribe, purchase or otherwise acquire such notes will
be engaged in only with, relevant persons. Any person who is not a relevant person should not act or rely on this document or
any of its contents.
Limitations on Comparability
As discussed in Note 8 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, in connection with our efforts to dispose of non-strategic assets: (a) in March
2011, we engaged an unaffiliated advisor to coordinate the sale of the assets of our oil and gas properties reporting unit, and (b) in
February 2011, we sold our former subsidiary that owns the High-Specification Jackup Trident 20, located in the Caspian Sea. As a
result of these developments, we have reclassified the assets and liabilities and operating results associated with these discontinued
operations in the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended
March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement. The
audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which are also incorporated by
reference in this prospectus supplement, have not been recast to reflect these discontinued operations. These differences limit
comparability of data across the relevant periods.
