(1)    The carrying amounts above represent the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding as well as outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility as of the Petition Date and are classified as Liabilities Subject to Compromise in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020 (Predecessor). We discontinued accruing interest on our indebtedness following the Petition Date and all accrued interest as of the Petition Date is classified as Liabilities Subject to Compromise in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020 (Predecessor). Additionally, we incurred a net non-cash charge of $447.9 million to write off any unamortized debt discounts, premiums and issuance costs, including the amounts related to the 2024 Convertible Notes discussed below, which is included in Reorganization items, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31,
2020 (Predecessor). On the Effective Date, in accordance with the plan of reorganization, all outstanding obligations under the Predecessor's Senior Notes, including the 2024 Convertible Notes, and the Revolving Credit Facility were cancelled and the holders thereunder received their pro rata share of certain Common Shares issued on the Effective Date. See below and "Note 2 - Chapter 11 Proceedings" for additional information.

(2)    These senior notes were acquired in the Rowan Transaction.

(3)    In addition to the amount borrowed above, we had $27.0 million in undrawn letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Indenture

On the Effective Date, in accordance with the plan of reorganization and Backstop Commitment Agreement, dated August 18, 2020 (as amended, the "BCA"), the Company consummated the rights offering of the First Lien Notes and associated shares in an aggregate principal amount of $550.0 million. In accordance with the BCA, certain holders of senior notes claims and certain holders of claims under the Revolving Credit Facility who provided backstop commitments received the backstop premium in an aggregate amount equal to $50.0 million in First Lien Notes and 2.7%of the Common Shares on the Effective Date. The Debtors paid a commitment fee of $20.0 million, in cash prior to the Petition Date, which was loaned back to the reorganized company upon emergence. Therefore, upon emergence the Debtors received $520 million in cash in exchange for a $550 million note, which includes the backstop premium. See “Note 2 – Chapter 11 Proceedings” for additional information.

The First Lien Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, among Valaris Limited, certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of Valaris Limited as guarantors, and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as collateral agent and trustee (in such capacities, the “Collateral Agent”).

The First Lien Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior basis, by certain of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company. The First Lien Notes and such guarantees are secured by first-priority perfected liens on 100% of the equity interests of each Restricted Subsidiary directly owned by the Company or any guarantor and a first-priority perfected lien on substantially all assets of the Company and each guarantor of the First Lien Notes, in each case subject to certain exceptions and limitations. The following is a brief description of the material provisions of the Indenture and the First Lien Notes.

The First Lien Notes are scheduled to mature on April 30, 2028. Interest on the First Lien Notes accrues, at our option, at a rate of: (i) 8.25% per annum, payable in cash; (ii) 10.25% per annum, with 50% of such interest to be payable in cash and 50% of such interest to be paid in kind; or (iii) 12% per annum, with the entirety of such interest to be paid in kind. Interest is due semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The first cash interest payment was made on November 1, 2021.
At any time prior to April 30, 2023, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the First Lien Notes at a redemption price of 104% up to the net cash proceeds received by the Company from equity offerings provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the First Lien Notes remains outstanding and provided that the redemption occurs within 120 days after such equity offering of the Company. At any time prior to April 30, 2023, the Company may redeem the First Lien Notes at a redemption price of 104% plus a “make-whole” premium. On or after April 30, 2023, the Company may redeem all or part of the First Lien Notes at fixed redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. The Company may also redeem the First Lien Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or after April 30, 2026 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture, with certain exclusions as provided therein) occurs, the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase all or any part of each note holder’s notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of First Lien Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable date.

The Indenture contains covenants that limit, among other things, the Company’s ability and the ability of the guarantors and other restricted subsidiaries, to: (i) incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends or distributions on equity interests or redeem or repurchase equity interests; (iii) make investments; (iv) repay or redeem junior debt; (v) transfer or sell assets; (vi) enter into sale and lease back transactions; (vii) create, incur or assume liens; and (viii) enter into transactions with certain affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions.

The Indenture also provides for certain customary events of default, including, among other things, nonpayment of principal or interest, breach of covenants, failure to pay final judgments in excess of a specified threshold, failure of a guarantee to remain in effect, failure of a collateral document to create an effective security interest in collateral, with a fair market value in excess of a specified threshold, bankruptcy and insolvency events, cross payment default and cross acceleration, which could permit the principal, premium, if any, interest and other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding First Lien Notes to be declared due and payable immediately.

The Company incurred $5.2 million in issuance costs in association with the First Lien Notes that are being amortized into interest expense over the expected life of the notes using the effective interest method.
