Amendment to Current Report Form 8 K/A

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On June 9, 2024, Noble Corporation plc ("Noble") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. ("Diamond") and other indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Noble. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, among other things, Diamond became through a number of steps an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Noble (the "Merger"). The Merger was completed on September 4, 2024.

The Merger is accounted for as a business combination pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"), where Noble is the accounting acquirer.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of Noble and the accompanying footnotes (the "Pro Forma Financial Information") reflect the impact of the Merger and has been prepared under the following assumptions:

· The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, assume that the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2023.
· The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2024, assumes that the Merger had occurred on June 30, 2024.

The Pro Forma Financial Information does not represent what the actual consolidated results of operations or the consolidated financial position of Noble would have been had the Merger occurred on the dates assumed, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position. The assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes to these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. Adjustments are based on information available to management during the preparation of the Pro Forma Financial Information and assumptions that management believes are reasonable and supportable. The pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, are affected by the valuation of certain assets and liabilities and the allocation of the total purchase price which will be finalized as the information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained, but no later than one year after the closing of the Merger. Any final adjustment to the valuation could change the fair values assigned to the assets and liabilities, and it is possible the differences may be material.

The Pro Forma Financial Information should be read in conjunction with the following:

· The audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in Noble's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 23, 2024.
· The audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in Diamond's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024.
· The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included in Noble's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024, filed with the SEC on August 1, 2024.
· The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included in Diamond's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024, filed with the SEC on August 7, 2024.
· The Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to Noble's Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on June 10, 2024.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 "Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses," using assumptions set forth in the notes herein. Article 11 permits presentation of reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur ("Management's Adjustments"). Noble has elected not to present Management's Adjustments and will only be presenting transaction accounting adjustments in the Pro Forma Financial Information.

The historical consolidated financial statements of Noble and Diamond were prepared in accordance with accounting policies generally accepted in the United States of America and shown in U.S. dollars.

Note 2. Accounting for the Merger with Diamond

Merger Agreement

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"):

(i) Conversion of Diamond Common Stock ("Diamond Common Stock"): As part of the transaction, each issued and outstanding share of Diamond Common Stock immediately preceding the Effective Time was converted into a right to receive (i) 0.2316 shares of Noble ("Stock Exchange Ratio"), (ii) cash consideration of $5.65 per share and (iii) any cash in lieu of fractional Noble shares (collectively, the "Merger Consideration").
(ii) Conversion of Diamond Warrants ("Diamond Warrants" or "Warrants"): Each Diamond Warrant that was outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to Effective Time, was assumed by Noble and for 90 days after the Effective Time, these Warrants will continue to remain outstanding and be exercisable for the same Merger Consideration as if they had been exercised in full right before the Merger. The exercise price of the Warrants significantly exceeds the value of the underlying shares, thus the fair market value of the Warrants is estimated to be de minimis.
(iii) Conversion of Diamond Restricted Stock Units ("RSU" or "Diamond RSU") Awards: At the Effective Time, each outstanding Diamond RSU Award ceased to represent a right to acquire shares of Diamond Common Stock (or value equivalent to shares of Diamond Common Stock) and was converted into the right to acquire a number of Noble shares rather than shares of Diamond Common Stock, calculated by multiplying the shares of Diamond Common Stock assigned to each RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Equity Award Exchange Ratio ("Equity Award Exchange Ratio"), defined as the sum of the Stock Exchange Ratio and the cash consideration per share of Diamond Common Stock divided by the closing price of Noble shares on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on the day before the Effective Time. Fractional shares resulting from this conversion were cashed out based on the closing price of Noble shares on the NYSE on the last trading day before the Effective Time.
(iv) Conversion of Diamond Performance Share Units ("PSU" or "Diamond PSU") Awards: At the Effective Time, each Diamond PSU outstanding ceased to represent a right to acquire shares of
5

Diamond Common Stock (or value equivalent to shares of Diamond Common Stock) and was converted into the right to acquire a number of Noble shares rather than shares of Diamond Common Stock but excluding any continued performance-based vesting requirements. The conversion into Noble shares was determined by the Equity Award Exchange Ratio, factoring in the actual performance level achieved by the PSU holder at the time of the Merger, whether it met the target level or exceeded it in accordance with the original PSU performance criteria. Similar to RSU Awards, fractional shares from this conversion were cashed out based on Noble's closing share price on the NYSE on the last trading day before the Effective Time.

Purchase Price Consideration

The following table presents the calculation of purchase price consideration (in thousands, except ratios and per share price):

Preliminary purchase price consideration

Total Diamond shares outstanding as of the Merger 103,213
Exchange Ratio as defined in the Merger Agreement 0.2316
Number of Noble shares to be issued 23,904
Noble share price (1) $ 35.88
Equity consideration for the conversion of Diamond shares outstanding $ 857,676
Fair value of replacement Diamond RSUs and PSUs attributable to the purchase price 22,263
Equity consideration $ 879,939
Total Diamond shares outstanding as of the Merger 103,213
Per Share Cash Consideration as defined in the Merger Agreement $ 5.65
$ 583,153
Cash paid to settle Diamond debt 309
Cash paid to settle contingent success fees 17,316
Cash paid for retention bonuses 4,422
Cash paid for short-term incentive plans 5,086
Cash consideration $ 610,286
Total preliminary purchase price consideration $ 1,490,225
(1) The per unit price applied to shares of Diamond Common Stock issued and outstanding reflects the volume weighted-average price per share of Noble common stock as of September 4, 2024.

Allocation of Purchase Price Consideration to Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

The allocation of the consideration, including any related tax effects, is preliminary and pending finalization of various estimates, inputs and analyses used in the valuation assessment of the specifically identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Since the Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared based on preliminary estimates of fair values attributable to the Merger, the actual amounts eventually recorded in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting may differ materially from the information presented.

ASC 805 requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Any consideration transferred or paid in a business combination in excess of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed should be recognized as goodwill. Management's estimate as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A is that the fair value of the net assets and liabilities acquired equals purchase price.

The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to change due to several factors, including, but not limited to:

changes in the estimated fair value of Diamond's identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the identifiable intangible assets and liabilities and measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities, third-party appraisals, and other potential adjustments.
6

The allocation of the purchase price consideration is as follows (in thousands):

Purchase Price Allocation

Estimated Fair Value
Total current assets $ 445,933
Property and equipment, net 2,154,550
Intangible assets -
Other assets 72,571

Total current liabilities 258,943
Long-term debt 559,680

Noncurrent contract liabilities 27,663
Other liabilities 197,442
Total liabilities assumed 1,182,829
Net assets acquired 1,490,225
Total preliminary purchase consideration $ 1,490,225

Note 3. Accounting Policies and Reclassification Adjustments

Upon completion of the acquisition, Noble performed a comprehensive review of Diamond's accounting policies. Based on an initial analysis, management did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, except the presentation reclassifications further discussed below.
