Subsequent Events | Note 23—Subsequent Events Norway tax investigations and trial—On January 9, 2017, the Norwegian appeal court in Oslo ruled entirely in favor of the Transocean subsidiaries and overturned the district court with respect to the remaining question of principal tax obligations. On February 10, 2017, the tax authorities filed an appeal with the Norwegian Supreme Court. Federal securities claims—On January 13, 2017, the U.S. Supreme Court granted certiorari in a separate case, not involving Transocean, which raised the same issues on which the Second Circuit dismissed the claim against Transocean. The U.S. Supreme Court’s ultimate determination of this separate case may affect the time‑barred dismissal of the case involving Transocean. PSC Settlement Agreement—On February 15, 2017, the MDL Court entered a final order and judgment approving the PSC Settlement Agreement that we entered into with the PSC on May 29, 2015. The ruling is subject to appeal. Any notice of appeal must be filed by March 17, 2017.
