<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On November&nbsp;19, 2018, Helmerich&nbsp;&amp; Payne,&nbsp;Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) announced the commencement of an exchange offer (the &#147;Exchange Offer&#148;) through which it will exchange up to $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of new 4.65% Senior Notes due 2025 issued by the Company (the &#147;New Notes&#148;), with registration rights, and cash, for any and all outstanding 4.65% Senior Notes due 2025 (the &#147;Existing Notes&#148;) issued by Helmerich&nbsp;&amp; Payne International Drilling Co., a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (&#147;H&amp;P Drilling Co.&#148;). Concurrently with the Exchange Offer being made by the Company, H&amp;P Drilling Co. is soliciting consents (the &#147;Consent Solicitation&#148;) to adopt certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Existing Notes (the &#147;Existing Indenture&#148;), which include (i)&nbsp;eliminating substantially all of the restrictive covenants in the Existing Indenture and (ii)&nbsp;limiting the reporting covenant under the Existing Indenture so that H&amp;P Drilling Co. is only required to comply with the reporting requirements under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. Holders of Existing Notes may not deliver their consents in the Consent Solicitation without tendering Existing Notes in the Exchange Offer. If a holder of Existing Notes tenders Existing Notes in the Exchange Offer, such holder will be deemed to deliver its consent with respect to the tendered Existing Notes in the Consent Solicitation. A copy of the press release is filed herewith as Exhibit&nbsp;99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">TULSA, Okla., November&nbsp;19, 2018 &#151; Helmerich&nbsp;&amp; Payne,&nbsp;Inc. (&#147;H&amp;P&#148;) (NYSE: HP) announced today the commencement of an exchange offer (the &#147;Exchange Offer&#148;) through which it will exchange up to $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of new 4.65% Senior Notes due 2025 issued by H&amp;P (the &#147;New H&amp;P Notes&#148;), with registration rights, and cash, for any and all outstanding 4.65% Senior Notes due 2025 (the &#147;Existing Notes&#148;) issued by Helmerich&nbsp;&amp; Payne International Drilling Co., a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of H&amp;P (&#147;H&amp;P Drilling Co.&#148;).</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Exchange Offer is being carried out in coordination with the reorganization of our active International Land drilling operations and our Offshore Drilling operations into separate, wholly owned subsidiaries of H&amp;P. This may result in the transfer of certain assets from H&amp;P Drilling Co. to other wholly owned subsidiaries of H&amp;P. We believe that reorganizing these businesses into separate wholly owned subsidiaries of H&amp;P will foster operational efficiency, simplify our organizational structure and provide additional clarity in our internal reporting. By participating in the Exchange Offer, Eligible Holders (as defined herein) of Existing Notes will have the same priority with respect to these segments as other main creditors of H&amp;P and H&amp;P Drilling Co., including the Existing Notes and our new senior unsecured $750,000,000 revolving credit facility.</font></p>
