To the General Meeting of	Zurich, February 20, 2024
Transocean Ltd., Steinhausen

Report of the statutory auditor

Report on the audit of the financial statements

	Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Transocean Ltd. (the Company), which comprise the balance sheet as at December 31, 2023, the statement of operations for the year then ended and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements comply with Swiss law and the Company’s articles of incorporation.
	Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Standards on Auditing (SA-CH).  Our responsibilities under those provisions and standards are further described in the “Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements” section of our report.  We are independent of the Company in accordance with the provisions of Swiss law and the requirements of the Swiss audit profession, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
	Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period.  These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.  For the matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the “Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements” section of our report, including in relation to these matters.  Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements.  The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matter below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements.

​

​	​	Impairment assessment of investments in subsidiaries
Risk	​	Transocean Ltd. evaluates its investments in subsidiaries for impairment annually and records an impairment loss when the carrying amount of such assets exceeds the recoverable amount.  The assessment of the existence of any indicators of impairment of the carrying amount of investments in subsidiaries is judgmental.  In the event that indicators of impairment are identified, the assessment of the recoverable amounts is also judgmental and requires estimation and the use of subjective assumptions. Transocean Ltd. measures the recoverable amount of its investments in subsidiaries by applying a variety of valuation methods, incorporating a combination of income and market approaches and using projected discounted cash flows. The primary risks are identifying impairment indicators, inaccurate models being used for the impairment assessment, and that the assumptions to support the value of the investments are inappropriate.  The principal consideration for our determination that the impairment assessment of investments in subsidiaries is a key audit matter is the subjectivity in the assessment of the recoverable amounts which requires estimation and the use of subjective assumptions. See Note 3 to these financial statements for Transocean Ltd.’s disclosures related to investment in subsidiaries.
Our audit response	​	Our audit procedures related to the key audit matter of the impairment assessment of investments in subsidiaries included the following procedures:

​

SR-1

​

We performed inquiries of management about the current market conditions supporting the evaluation of potential impairment indicators, tested the key assumptions used, and performed procedures on Transocean Ltd.’s prospective financial information.

We involved valuation specialists to assist in the evaluation of management’s valuation models and impairment analyses, specifically in testing key assumptions and prospective financial information.

We performed procedures to assess the valuation models for evidence of management bias considering contrary evidence from third party analyst reports and press releases.

Our audit procedures did not lead to any reservations regarding the impairment assessment of investments in subsidiaries.

​

	Other information The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements, the stand-alone financial statements, the compensation report and our auditor’s reports thereon.  The annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we perform, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
	Board of Directors’ responsibilities for the financial statements The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the provisions of Swiss law and the Company's articles of incorporation, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern, and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
	Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Swiss law and SA-CH will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.  Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on EXPERTsuisse’s website at: https://www.expertsuisse.ch/en/audit-report.  This description forms an integral part of our report.
	Report on other legal and regulatory requirements In accordance with Art. 728a para. 1 item 3 CO and PS-CH 890, we confirm that an internal control system exists, which has been designed for the preparation of the financial statements according to the instructions of the Board of Directors. Furthermore, we confirm that the proposed appropriation of accumulated losses brought forward complies with Swiss law and the Company’s articles of incorporation. We recommend that the financial statements submitted to you be approved.

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—General

Transocean Ltd. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is the parent company of Transocean Financing GmbH (“TFIN”), Transocean Inc., Transocean Management Services GmbH, Transocean Quantum Holdings Limited (“TQHL”), and Triton Quantum I GmbH (“TQ1G”), our direct wholly owned subsidiaries.  Transocean Ltd. is registered with the commercial register in the canton of Zug, and its shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.  At December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had fewer than 10 full-time employees.

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies

Presentation—We have prepared our unconsolidated statutory financial statements in accordance with the accounting principles as set out in Art. 957 to Art. 963b, of the Swiss Code of Obligations (the “CO”).  Since we have prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting standards, a recognized accounting standard, we have, in accordance with the CO, elected to forego presenting the statement of cash flows, the additional disclosures and the management report otherwise required by the CO.  Our financial statements may be influenced by the creation and release of excess reserves.

Currency—We maintain our accounting records in U.S. dollars and translate them into Swiss francs for statutory reporting purposes.  We translate into Swiss francs our assets and liabilities that are denominated in non-Swiss currencies using the year-end currency exchange rates, except prior-year transactions for our investments in subsidiaries and our shareholders’ equity, which are translated at historical exchange rates.  We translate into Swiss francs our income statement transactions that are denominated in non-Swiss currencies using the average currency exchange rates for the year.

Our principal exchange rates were as follows:

We recognize realized currency exchange and translation gains and losses arising from business transactions and net unrealized currency exchange and translation losses in current period earnings.  We defer net unrealized currency exchange and translation gains.

Cash—We hold cash balances, denominated in Swiss francs and U.S. dollars, which include cash deposited in demand bank accounts, money market investment accounts and other liquid investments and interest earned on such cash balances.

Current assets and liabilities—We record current assets at historical cost less adjustments for impairment of value and current liabilities at historical cost.

Investments in subsidiaries—We record our investments in subsidiaries at acquisition cost less adjustments for impairment of value.  We evaluate our investments in subsidiaries for impairment annually and record an impairment loss when the carrying amount of such assets exceeds the fair value.  We estimate fair value of our investments using a variety of valuation methods, including the income and market approaches.  Our estimates of fair value represent a price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market for the asset.

Own shares—We recognize own shares at acquisition cost, which we present as a deduction from shareholders’ equity at the time of acquisition.  For own shares held by subsidiaries, we build a reserve for shares in equity at the respective acquisition costs.

Related parties—In the meaning of the CO, we consider related parties to be only shareholders, direct and indirect subsidiaries, and the board of directors.

a) As of December 31, 2023, the statutory capital reserves from capital contribution were CHF 13,648,046, approved as of December 31, 2021 by Swiss Federal Tax Administration (“SFTA”) for distribution without any Swiss withholding tax consequences, and CHF 12,803 were pending approval.  As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, an increase of CHF 447,324 and CHF 268,819, respectively, to the statutory capital reserves from capital contribution was pending approval by SFTA.

b) The statutory capital reserve from capital contribution for shares held by subsidiaries represents the aggregate cost of own shares held indirectly through Transocean Inc.  See Note 5—Own Shares.

In September 2023, we issued 11.9 million shares with an aggregate value of USD 99 million, equivalent to CHF 88 million, to acquire the outstanding equity ownership interests of LVL, an entity in which we previously held a noncontrolling ownership interest, and as a result, Liquila became our wholly owned subsidiary.  In November 2023, we contributed the acquired LVL shares to TQHL, which TQHL subsequently contributed to TQRHL, a company partially owned and controlled by a wholly owned subsidiary of Transocean Inc.

Authorized share capital and general capital authorization (Kapitalband)—During the year ended December 31, 2023, our board of directors approved out of authorized share capital the issuance of 34.6 million of our shares, par value CHF 0.10 each, for an aggregate value of USD 4 million, equivalent to CHF 4 million, which corresponds to the number of shares used in connection with the conversion of USD 213 million principal amount of Transocean Inc.’s 2.5% senior guaranteed exchangeable bonds due 2027.  During the year ended December 31, 2022, our board of directors approved out of authorized share capital the issuance of 69.1 million, par value CHF 0.10 each, for an aggregate value of USD 7 million, equivalent to CHF 7 million, earmarked for certain equity offerings, including an at-the-market equity offering (the “ATM Program”).  

At our annual general meeting of shareholders on May 11, 2023, shareholders approved a general capital authorization to issue up to 159.4 million shares, thereby replacing our authorization to issue shares using authorized share capital that was previously approved by shareholders at the Company’s 2022 annual general meeting.  The general capital authorization may be used for purposes in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 of the Company’s articles of association.  Our board of directors has an authority to increase the share capital, within general capital authorization, solely for the purpose of granting shares under our incentive plans, by issuing up to a maximum of 30.0 million of our shares.  Our board of directors approved the issuance of 11.9 million of our shares, par value CHF 0.10 each, for an aggregate value of USD 1 million, equivalent to CHF 1 million, to Transocean Inc., using the general capital authorization.  At December 31, 2023, based on shareholder approval dated May 11, 2023, the remaining authority of our board of directors to issue shares out of general capital authorization, including the authority for granting shares under our incentive plans, is limited to a maximum of 177.6 million shares.

Conditional share capital—Our articles of association provide for a conditional share capital that permits us to issue up to 142.4 million additional shares, under either of the following circumstances, without obtaining additional shareholder approval:

(1) through the exercise of conversion, exchange, option, warrant or similar rights for the subscription of shares granted in connection with bonds, options, warrants or other securities newly or already issued in national or international capital markets or new or already existing

​

​

contractual obligations convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our shares or the shares of one of our group companies or any of their respective predecessors; or

(2) in connection with the issuance of shares, options or other share-based awards to directors, employees, contractors, consultants or other persons providing services to us.

In connection with the issuance of bonds, notes, warrants or other financial instruments or contractual obligations that are convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable for our registered shares, our board of directors is authorized to withdraw or limit the advance subscription rights of shareholders under certain circumstances.  In connection with the issuance of shares, options or other share-based awards to directors, employees, contractors, consultants or other persons providing services to us, the preemptive rights and the advance subscription rights of shareholders are excluded.  In the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we issued 582 shares and 681 shares, respectively, out of conditional share capital to holders that exercised their options to exchange the 0.5% exchangeable senior bonds due 2023 into our shares.  In March 2019, we and Transocean Inc. entered into an option agreement, pursuant to which we granted Transocean Inc. the right to acquire 12.0 million shares from us to satisfy obligations under our share-based compensation plans.  In March 2019, we issued to 1.4 million shares out of conditional share capital to Transocean Inc. upon partial exercise of its right to acquire our shares under the option agreement in exchange for USD 12 million, equivalent to CHF 12 million.  At December 31, 2023 and 2022, our board of directors were authorized to issue up to a maximum of 142.4 million shares out of conditional share capital.

Share issuance—We intend to use the net proceeds of our ongoing ATM Program for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, the repayment or refinancing of indebtedness and the funding of working capital, capital expenditures, investments, and additional balance sheet liquidity.  In August 2022, we entered into an equity distribution agreement with a sales agent for the offer and sale of our shares with a maximum aggregate net offering price of up to USD 435 million, equivalent to CHF 418 million under the ATM Program.  In the year ended December 31, 2023, we did not issue any shares under the ATM Program.  In the year ended December 31, 2022, we received aggregate cash proceeds of USD 270 million, equivalent to CHF 259 million, for the aggregate sale of 61.0 million shares, under the ATM Program.

Reallocation of reserves—At our annual general meeting of shareholders on May 11, 2023, shareholders approved reallocation of CHF 9.50 billion of free capital reserves from capital contribution to statutory capital reserves from capital contribution.
