Rowan?s Recent Contract

On April 30, 2018, the Company announced that four of its idle jack-ups would be leased to ARO Drilling to fulfill four three-year contracts that ARO Drilling was awarded by Saudi Aramco. ARO Drilling would lease the EXL I, EXL IV, Bess Brants, and Earnest Dees (formerly named P-59 and P-60, respectively) from Rowan through a bareboat charter lease mechanism. The estimated commencement of the contracts was during Q3 2018 for the EXL I and EXL IV, and late 2018 or early 2019 timeframe for the Bess Brants and Earnest Dees. Rowan would prepare the rigs for operations, including all contractually required modifications, and then lease the rigs to ARO Drilling who would operate the rigs in Saudi Arabia. The contract for the four rigs was awarded and was in the process of being finalized.
