In connection with the Rowan Transaction on April 11, 2019, we issued 88.3 million Class A ordinary shares with an aggregate value of $1.4 billion. See "Note 5 - Rowan Transaction" for additional information.

Valaris Limited Share Capital

As of the Effective Date, the authorized share capital of Valaris Limited is $8.5 million divided into 700 million Common Shares of a par value of $0.01 each and 150 million preference shares of a par value of $0.01.

Issuance of Common Shares

On the Effective Date, pursuant to the plan of reorganization, we issued 75 million Common Shares.

Cancellation of Predecessor Equity and Issuance of Warrants

On the Effective Date and pursuant to the plan of reorganization, the Legacy Valaris Class A ordinary shares were cancelled and the Company issued 5,645,161 Warrants to the former holders of the Company's equity interests outstanding prior to the Effective Date. The Warrants are exercisable for one Common Share per Warrant at an initial exercise price of $131.88 per Warrant, in each case as may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the applicable warrant agreement. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of seven years and will expire on April 29, 2028. The exercise of these Warrants into Common Shares would have a dilutive effect to the holdings of Valaris Limited's existing shareholders.

Management Incentive Plan

In accordance with the plan of reorganization, Valaris Limited adopted the MIP as of the Effective Date and authorized and reserved 8,960,573 Common Shares for issuance pursuant to equity incentive awards to be granted under the MIP, which may be in the form of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents and cash awards or any combination thereof. See "Note 12 - Share Based Compensation" for information on equity awards granted under the MIP subsequent to the Effective Date.
