connection with the disbursement of certain amounts received in connection with the Barge Rig Holdback Amount and cash received in lieu of fractional Nabors common shares. If, however, cash received by Parker stockholders in respect of their Parker
common stock (e.g., from cash received if the Closing Price is lower than the Lower Collar Price, cash received in connection with the disbursement of certain amounts received in connection with the Barge Rig Holdback Amount and cash received in
lieu of fractional Nabors common shares) exceeds 20% of the total consideration received in respect of Parker common stock, then the merger is not expected to qualify as a &#147;reorganization&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;368(a) of the

a &#147;reorganization&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;368(a) of the Code, Parker has obtained a tax opinion from its counsel, Akin Gump Strauss Hauer &amp; Feld LLP, in the form included as Exhibit&nbsp;8.1. Assuming that the merger
qualifies as a &#147;reorganization&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;368(a) of the Code, a U.S. holder (as defined under &#147;Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences&#148;) of Parker common stock generally will not recognize gain or
loss except with respect to cash received in connection with the disbursement of the Barge Rig Holdback Amount, if the Closing Price is less than the Lower Collar Price or paid in lieu of fractional Nabors common shares (as discussed below). A U.S.
holder of Parker common stock who receives cash in addition to Nabors common shares will recognize gain (but not loss) for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the lesser of (i)&nbsp;the amount of gain realized (consisting of the
excess, if any, of the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value, as of the effective time of the merger, of the Nabors common shares received in the merger over that stockholder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in its Parker common stock
surrendered) and (ii)&nbsp;the aggregate amount of cash received in the merger (including cash received in connection with the disbursement of the certain amounts received in connection with the Barge Rig Holdback Amount, cash received if the
Closing Price is less than the Lower Collar Price and cash received in lieu of fractional Nabors common shares). If, however, cash received by Parker stockholders in respect of their Parker common stock (e.g., from cash received if the Closing Price
is lower than the Lower Collar Price, cash received in connection with the disbursement of certain amounts received in connection with the Barge Rig Holdback Amount and cash received in lieu of fractional Nabors common shares) exceeds 20% of the
total consideration received in respect of Parker common stock, then the merger is not expected to qualify as a &#147;reorganization&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;368(a) of the Code and the merger would be fully taxable to Parker
stockholders. For further information, see &#147;Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences&#148;. </P></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Your tax

the merger, shareholders of Nabors and former stockholders of Parker will own interests in a combined company operating an expanded business with more assets and a different mix of liabilities. The business of Nabors and its subsidiaries and other
companies it may acquire in the future are different from those of Parker. There is a risk that various factors, conditions and developments that would not affect the price of Parker common stock could negatively affect the price of Nabors common
shares. Current shareholders of Nabors and current stockholders of Parker may not wish to continue to invest in the combined company, or may wish to reduce their investment in the combined company, including in order to comply with institutional
investing guidelines, to increase diversification, to track any rebalancing of stock indices in which Nabors common shares are included, to respond to the risk profile of the combined company or to realize a gain. In addition, if, following the
merger, large amounts of Nabors common shares are sold, the price of Nabors common shares could decline. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Holders of Nabors common shares
will have rights as Nabors shareholders that differ from the rights they had as Parker stockholders before the merger. For a detailed comparison of the rights of Nabors shareholders to the rights of Parker stockholders, see &#147;Comparison of

combined company after the merger. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Nabors will issue up to 4,800,000 Nabors common shares to Parker stockholders in the merger.
As a result of these issuances, Parker stockholders are expected to hold up to approximately 31% of the combined company&#146;s outstanding common shares immediately following completion of the merger. </P>

shareholder will remain a shareholder of Nabors with a percentage ownership of the combined company that will be smaller than the shareholder&#146;s percentage of Nabors prior to the merger. As a result of these reduced ownership percentages, Nabors
shareholders will have less voting power in the combined company than they now have with respect to Nabors. </P>

others, fees paid to financial, legal, accounting and other advisors, employee retention, severance and benefit costs and filing fees. Nabors will also incur costs related to formulating and implementing integration plans, including facilities and
systems consolidation costs and other employment-related costs. Nabors and Parker will continue to assess the magnitude of these costs, and additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in connection with the merger and the integration of the two
companies&#146; businesses. While Nabors and Parker have assumed that a certain level of expenses would be incurred, there are many factors beyond their control that could affect the total amount or the timing of the expenses. The elimination of
duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, may not offset integration-related costs and achieve a net benefit in the near term, or at all. The costs described above and any

delay or prevent the merger from being completed within the expected timeframe or at all, which may adversely affect Nabors&#146; and Parker&#146;s respective business, financial position and results of operation. Either Nabors or Parker may

expenses could, particularly in the near term, exceed the savings that the combined company expects to achieve from the elimination of duplicative expenses and the realization of economies of scale and cost savings. These integration expenses could

expectations of future oil and natural gas prices typically drive demand for its drilling services. The oil and natural gas industry has historically experienced periodic downturns, which have been characterized by diminished demand for oilfield
services and downward pressure on the prices Parker charges. A prolonged downturn in the oil and natural gas industry could result in a further reduction in demand for oilfield services and could continue to adversely affect Parker&#146;s financial

for the exploration, development, and production of oil or natural gas reserves by the major, independent, and national oil and natural gas E&amp;P companies and large integrated service companies that comprise Parker&#146;s customer base. These
expenditures are generally dependent on the industry&#146;s view of future oil and natural gas prices and are sensitive to the industry&#146;s view of future economic growth and the resulting impact on demand for oil and natural gas, including a
heightened emphasis by E&amp;P companies&#146; investors demanding cash flow returns which can limit the number of wells being drilled. For example, prolonged low commodity prices experienced by the oil and natural gas industry during 2015, 2016 and
2020, combined with adverse changes in the capital and credit markets, caused many exploration and production companies to reduce their capital budgets and drilling activity. This led to decreased utilization and dayrates and a reduction or
discontinuation of drilling levels, causing an oversupply of drilling rigs. Future declines in oil and natural gas prices may similarly result in project modifications, delays or cancellations, general business disruptions, and delays in payment of,
or nonpayment of, amounts that are owed to Parker, any of which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act 2010, and similar anti-corruption laws in other jurisdictions generally prohibit
companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments or providing improper benefits for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, directing business to any person or corporate entity, or obtaining any unfair advantage.
Parker&#146;s policies mandate compliance with these anti-corruption laws. However, Parker operates in many parts of the world that experience corruption, and its activities create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by its
employees or agents that could be in violation of anti-corruption laws, even though some of these parties are not subject to Parker&#146;s control. If Parker is found to be liable for violations of these laws either due to its own acts or omissions
or due to the acts or omissions of others (including its joint ventures partners, its agents or other third-party representatives), it could suffer from severe commercial, civil, and criminal penalties or other sanctions, which could have a material
adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, any major violations could have a significant effect on Parker&#146;s reputation and consequently on its ability to win future business and maintain
existing customer and supplier relationships. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Parker&#146;s international operations are subject to governmental regulation and other risks.

possible expropriation due to terrorism, war, civil disturbances, political and capital instability, and similar events, and it has previously suffered loss of revenues and damage to equipment due to political violence. Civil and political
disturbances in international locations may affect Parker&#146;s operations. Parker may not be able to obtain insurance policies covering risks associated with these types of events, especially political violence coverage, and such policies may only
be available with premiums that are not commercially reasonable. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Parker&#146;s international operations are subject to the laws and
regulations of a number of countries with political, regulatory and judicial systems and regimes that may differ significantly from those in the U.S. Parker&#146;s ability to compete in international contract drilling and rental tool services
markets may be adversely affected by foreign governmental regulations and/or policies that favor the awarding of contracts to contractors in which nationals of those foreign countries have substantial ownership interests or by regulations requiring
foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction. Furthermore, Parker&#146;s foreign subsidiaries may face governmentally imposed restrictions or fees from time to time on the transfer of funds to
itself. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, tax and other laws and regulations in some foreign countries are not always interpreted consistently among local,
regional, and national authorities, which can result in disputes between Parker and governing authorities. The ultimate outcome of these disputes is never certain, and it is possible that the outcomes could have an adverse effect on Parker&#146;s
financial performance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A portion of the workers Parker employs in its international operations are members of labor unions or otherwise
subject to collective bargaining. Parker may not be able to hire and retain a sufficient number of skilled and experienced workers for wages and other benefits that it believes are commercially reasonable. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Parker may experience currency exchange losses where revenues are received or expenses are paid in nonconvertible currencies or where it does
not take protective measures against exposure to a foreign currency. Parker may also incur losses as a result of an inability to collect revenues because of a shortage of convertible currency available to the country of operation, controls over
currency exchange, or controls over the repatriation of income or capital. Given the international scope of Parker&#146;s operations, Parker is exposed to risks of currency fluctuation and restrictions on currency repatriation. Parker attempts to
limit the risks of currency fluctuation and restrictions on currency repatriation where possible by obtaining contracts payable in U.S. dollars or freely convertible foreign currency. In addition, some parties with which Parker does business could
require that all or a portion of its revenues be paid in local currencies. Foreign currency fluctuations, therefore, could have a material adverse effect upon Parker&#146;s results of operations and financial condition. </P>

regulations of each of the countries where it operates. Moreover, many countries, including the U.S., control the export and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-export</FONT> of certain goods,
services, and technology and impose related export recordkeeping and reporting obligations. The laws and regulations concerning import activity, export recordkeeping and reporting, export control, and economic sanctions are complex and constantly
changing. These laws and regulations can cause delays in shipments, unscheduled operational downtime and other operational disruptions. Moreover, any failure to comply with applicable legal and regulatory trading obligations could result in criminal
and civil penalties and sanctions, such as fines, imprisonment, debarment from governmental contracts, seizure of shipments, and loss of import and export privileges. Reputational damage can also result from any failure to comply with such
obligations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Parker&#146;s business, financial condition and results of operations may be affected by economic sanctions and export controls,

countries imposed sanctions on certain sectors of the Russian economy, and on certain individuals and entities, and additional sanctions have been imposed since 2014, including with respect to the energy sector. In response to Russia&#146;s military
action in Ukraine in 2022, the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom, among others, have imposed significant economic sanctions and export control measures on Russia and others supporting Russia&#146;s military and political
actions in Ukraine, including blocking or &#147;asset freezing&#148; sanctions on designated entities and individuals; restrictions on the Russian energy and financial sectors; blocking economic activity in certain areas of Ukraine not controlled by
the Ukrainian government; prohibitions in relation to investment in Russia; prohibitions and restrictions relating to Russian origin oil and oil products; and export controls limiting the export of a wide range of goods and technical assistance to
Russia. In response, Russia has implemented counter-sanctions, including restrictions on the divestment from Russian assets by foreign investors and restrictions on the payments of dividends and transfers of funds out of Russia by foreign investors.
Existing and future economic sanctions, export controls, import controls and other measures, as well as the existing and potential further responses from Russia or other countries to such economic sanctions, and further tensions and military
actions, could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and could adversely affect Parker&#146;s business, financial condition and results of operations. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The contract drilling and rental tools services markets are highly competitive and many of Parker&#146;s competitors in both the contract
drilling and rental tools services businesses may possess greater financial resources than Parker does. Some of Parker&#146;s competitors are incorporated in countries that may provide them with significant tax advantages that are not available to
Parker as a U.S. company and which may impair its ability to compete with them for many projects. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Contract drilling companies compete
primarily on a regional basis, and competition may vary significantly from region to region at any particular time. Many drilling and workover rigs and drilling-related rental tools can be moved from one region to another in response to changes in
levels of activity, provided market conditions warrant, which may result in an oversupply of rigs and rental tools in an area. Many competitors construct rigs during periods of high energy prices and, consequently, the number of rigs available in
some of the markets in which Parker operates can exceed the demand for rigs for extended periods of time, resulting in intense price competition. Most drilling contracts are awarded on the basis of competitive bids, which also results in price
competition. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Historically, the drilling and rental tools services industry has been highly cyclical, with periods of high demand, limited
equipment supply and high dayrates often followed by periods of low demand, excess equipment supply and low dayrates. Periods of low demand and excess equipment supply intensify the competition in the industry and often result in equipment being
idle for long periods of time. During periods of </P>

decreased demand, Parker typically experiences significant reductions in dayrates and utilization. Parker, or its competition, may move rigs or other equipment such as rental tools from one
geographic location to another location, the cost of which may be substantial. If Parker experiences decreases in dayrates, inability to increase or even maintain its market share, or if it cannot keep its equipment utilized, its financial
performance will be adversely impacted. Prolonged periods of low utilization, decreased market share, and lower dayrates could result in the recognition of impairment charges on certain of Parker&#146;s rigs if future cash flow estimates, based upon
information available to management at the time, indicate that the carrying value of these rigs may not be recoverable. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Parker must renew customer

terms of any such contracts depends on market conditions and its customers&#146; future drilling plans, which are subject to change. Due to the highly competitive nature of the industry, which can be exacerbated during periods of depressed market
conditions, Parker may not be able to renew or replace expiring contracts or, if it is able to, it may not be able to secure or improve existing dayrates or other material terms, which could have an adverse effect on its business, financial

quality technical services and support for its drilling operations. Parker competes with other oilfield services businesses and other employers to attract and retain qualified personnel with the technical skills and experience it requires.
Competition for skilled labor and other labor required for Parker&#146;s operations intensifies as the number of rigs activated or added to worldwide fleets or under construction increases, creating upward pressure on wages. In periods of high
utilization, Parker has found it more difficult to find and retain qualified individuals. A shortage in the available labor pool of skilled workers or other general inflationary pressures or changes in applicable laws and regulations could make it
more difficult for Parker to attract and retain personnel and could require Parker to enhance its wage and benefits packages. Increases in Parker&#146;s operating costs could adversely affect its business and financial results. Moreover, the
shortages of qualified personnel or the inability to obtain and retain qualified personnel could negatively affect the quality, safety, and timeliness of Parker&#146;s operations. </P>

prioritize sustainable energy practices, reduce its carbon footprint and promote sustainability while at the same time remaining a successfully operating public company. If Parker does not successfully manage expectations across these varied
stakeholder interests, it could erode Parker&#146;s stakeholder trust and thereby affect its brand and reputation. Such erosion of confidence could negatively impact Parker&#146;s business through decreased demand and growth opportunities, delays in

equipment, personal injury and property damage, suspension of operations, or environmental damage, which could lead to claims by third parties or customers, suspension of operations, and contract terminations. Parker has had accidents in the past
due to some of these hazards. Typically, Parker is indemnified by its customers for injuries and property damage resulting from these types of events (except for injury to its employees and subcontractors and property damage to its and its

Although Parker has retained the risk for physical loss or damage for these rigs arising from a named windstorm, it has procured insurance coverage for removal of a wreck caused by a windstorm. The occurrence of an event that is not fully covered by

one or more third-party suppliers, manufacturers or service providers to provide equipment, components, parts or services, whether due to capacity constraints, labor shortages or other labor-related difficulties, production or delivery disruptions,
price increases, quality control issues, recalls or other decreased availability of parts and equipment, is beyond Parker&#146;s control and could materially disrupt its operations or result in the delay, renegotiation or cancellation of drilling

Parker&#146;s suppliers, manufacturers, and service providers could be negatively affected by changes in industry conditions or global economic conditions. If certain of Parker&#146;s suppliers, manufacturers or service providers were to curtail or

affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, issues with the global supply chain, whether caused by the Ukraine/Russia conflict or other reasons, could make it more difficult for Parker&#146;s suppliers to meet

region due to the need to support the remaining drilling rigs in that region. Accordingly, a decline in revenues due to lower dayrates and/or utilization may not be offset by a corresponding decrease in drilling services and solutions

without penalty and with relatively little or no notice. Significant declines in oil prices, the perceived risk of low oil prices for an extended period, and the resulting downward pressure on utilization may cause some customers to consider early
termination of select contracts despite having to pay early termination fees in some cases. When drilling market conditions are depressed, a customer may no longer need a rig or rental tools currently under contract or may be able to obtain
comparable equipment at lower dayrates. Further, due to government actions, a customer may no longer be able to operate in, or it may not be economical to operate in, certain regions. As a result, customers may leverage their termination rights in

promptly, its customers will not be able to engage in drilling operations and may have the right to terminate the contracts. If equipment is not timely delivered to a customer or does not pass acceptance testing, a customer may in certain
circumstances have the right to terminate the contract. The payment of a termination fee may not fully compensate Parker for the loss of the contract. Early termination of a contract may result in a rig or other equipment being idle for an extended
period of time. The likelihood that a customer may seek to terminate a contract is increased during periods of market weakness. The cancellation or renegotiation of a number of Parker&#146;s contracts could materially reduce its revenues and
profitability. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Service contracts with national oil companies may expose Parker to greater risks than it normally assumes in service contracts with <FONT

greater commercial, political, environmental, operational, and other risks than it assumes in other contracts. These contracts may also expose Parker to materially greater environmental liability and other claims for damages (including consequential

Parker with an early termination payment. Parker can provide no assurance that increased risk exposure will not have an adverse impact on its future operations or that it will not increase the number of rigs or amount of equipment and services

significant customer could adversely affect Parker&#146;s business, financial condition and results of operations. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A substantial
percentage of Parker&#146;s revenues are generated from a relatively small number of customers and the loss of a significant customer could adversely affect Parker. Parker&#146;s largest customer accounted for approximately 13.6&nbsp;percent of its
consolidated revenues from continuing operations for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2023. Parker&#146;s largest customer constituted approximately 15.6&nbsp;percent of its consolidated revenue for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2024.
Parker&#146;s consolidated results of operations could be adversely affected if any of its significant customers terminate their contracts with Parker, fail to renew its existing contracts, or do not award new contracts to Parker. Replacing
significant customers is difficult, and it is unlikely Parker would be able to replace such a loss in revenue from a single or a few larger customers. The loss of one or more of its larger customers could have a material adverse effect on
Parker&#146;s business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to meet its obligations. In addition, if a significant customer experiences liquidity constraints or other financial difficulties it may be unable to make required
payments to Parker or seek to renegotiate contracts, which could adversely affect its liquidity and profitability. Financial difficulties experienced by customers could also adversely affect Parker&#146;s utilization rates in the affected market and
may cause its counterparties to seek modifications to its contracts with them. Furthermore, potential consolidation among oil and natural gas exploration and production companies may reduce the number of available customers. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Although inflation had been relatively low in recent years, it rose significantly in the second half of 2021 and continued through 2023. In
addition, global and industry-wide supply chain disruptions have resulted in shortages in labor, materials and services. Such shortages have resulted in inflationary cost increases for labor, materials and services and could continue to cause costs
to increase, as well as a scarcity of certain products and raw materials. To the extent inflation remains elevated, Parker may experience further cost increases for its operations, as well as increased labor costs. Parker cannot predict any future
trends in the rate of inflation, and a significant increase in inflation could negatively impact its business, financial condition and results of operations. </P>

various federal, state and local governmental regulations that may be changed from time to time in response to economic and political conditions. Matters subject to regulation include discharge permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds,
reports concerning operations, the spacing of wells, unitization and pooling of properties and taxation. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of sanctions, including administrative, civil or criminal
penalties, permit revocations, requirements for additional pollution controls and injunctions limiting or prohibiting some or all of Parker&#146;s operations. Further, these laws and regulations impose strict requirements for water and air pollution
control and solid waste management. Significant expenditures may be required to comply with governmental laws and regulations applicable to Parker. Even if federal regulatory burdens temporarily ease, the historic trend of more expansive and
stricter environmental legislation and regulations may continue in the long-term, and at the state and local levels. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Regulation of greenhouse gases

of GHGs may be contributing to warming of the earth&#146;s atmosphere and other climatic changes. Such studies have resulted in increased local, state, regional, national, and international attention and actions relating to issues of climate change
and the effect of GHG emissions, particularly emissions from fossil fuels. For example, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the IRA include billions of dollars in incentives for the development of renewable energy, clean hydrogen, clean
fuels, electric vehicles, investments in advanced biofuels and supporting infrastructure and carbon capture and sequestration. Also, in March 2024, the EPA finalized ambitious rules to reduce harmful air pollutant emissions, including GHGs, from
light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles beginning in model year 2027. These incentives and regulations could accelerate the transition of the economy away from the use of fossil fuels towards lower- or
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">zero-carbon</FONT> emissions alternatives, which could decrease demand for, and in turn the prices of, oil and natural gas and adversely impact Parker&#146;s business. In addition, the IRA imposes the first ever
federal fee on the emission of GHGs through a methane emissions charge, which could increase Parker&#146;s operating costs and thereby adversely impact Parker&#146;s business, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, a number of states have
either proposed or implemented restrictions on GHG emissions. International accords such as the Paris Agreement may result in additional regulations to control GHG emissions. Other developments focused on restricting GHG emissions include but are
not limited to the Kyoto Protocol; the European Union Emission Trading System; the United Kingdom&#146;s Carbon Reduction Commitment; and, in the U.S., the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, the Western Regional Climate Action Initiative, and
various state programs. These regulations could also adversely affect market demand or pricing for Parker&#146;s services, by affecting the price of, or reducing the demand for, fossil fuels or providing competitive advantages to competing fuels and
energy sources. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because Parker&#146;s business depends on the level of activity in the oil and natural gas industry, existing or future

in Parker&#146;s operating areas can be adversely affected by seasonal or permanent restrictions on drilling activities designed to protect various wildlife. Seasonal restrictions may limit Parker&#146;s ability to operate in protected areas and can
intensify competition for drilling rigs, oilfield equipment, services, supplies and qualified personnel, which may lead to periodic shortages when drilling is allowed. These constraints and the resulting shortages or high costs could delay
Parker&#146;s operations and materially increase Parker&#146;s operating and capital costs. Permanent restrictions imposed to protect threatened or endangered species could prohibit drilling in certain areas or require the implementation of
expensive mitigation measures. The designation of previously unprotected species in areas where Parker operates as threatened or endangered could cause Parker to incur increased costs arising from species protection measures or could result in
limitations on Parker&#146;s drilling activities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Parker is regularly involved in litigation, some of which may be material. </I></B></P>

monetary amounts, some of which would not be covered by insurance. Parker undertakes all reasonable steps to defend itself in such lawsuits. Nevertheless, Parker cannot predict the ultimate outcome of such lawsuits and any resolution which is
adverse to it could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Increased regulation of hydraulic fracturing could result in

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Hydraulic fracturing is a process sometimes used in the completion of oil and natural gas wells whereby water, other liquids, sand, and
chemicals are injected under pressure into subsurface formations to stimulate natural gas and, oil production. Various governmental entities (within and outside the United States) are in the process of studying, restricting, regulating, or preparing
to regulate hydraulic fracturing, directly and indirectly. Many state governments require the disclosure of chemicals used in the fracturing process and, due to concerns raised relating to potential impacts of hydraulic fracturing, including on
groundwater quality and seismic activity, legislative and regulatory efforts at the federal level and in some state and local jurisdictions have been initiated to render permitting and compliance requirements more stringent for hydraulic fracturing
or prohibit the activity altogether. Parker does not directly engage in hydraulic fracturing activities. However, these and other developments could cause operational delays or increased costs in exploration and production, which could adversely
affect the demand for Parker&#146;s rental tools. </P>

Parker common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time, other than shares owned by Parker and its wholly owned subsidiaries, shares owned by Nabors or Merger Sub and shares for which appraisal rights held by Parker stockholders have

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The management and boards of directors of both Nabors and Parker regularly review the performance, strategy, competitive position,
opportunities and prospects of their respective companies, in light of the current macroeconomic environment and developments in the oil and gas sector. As part of this review, Nabors has considered strategic acquisitions on an opportunistic basis
from time to time. As described below, Parker pursued a sales process, the outcome of which was the election to proceed in a merger with Nabors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Nabors and Parker are well known to each other through industry connections. The Nabors board of directors viewed Parker as a strong merger
partner because, among other things, the combined company would have a more diversified client mix, additional service offerings, increased geographical diversity, and improved financial flexibility from improved leverage metrics. In addition, the
merger would result in cost savings in future years through the elimination of duplicate administrative responsibilities and the opportunity for additional revenue generation opportunities by providing customers with a wider range of services. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In February of 2023, the Finance&nbsp;&amp; Strategic Planning committee of the Parker board of directors (the &#147;F&amp;SP Committee&#148;)
authorized the launch of the Parker sales process. Thereafter, Moelis&nbsp;&amp; Company (&#147;Moelis&#148;), financial advisor to Parker, approached Nabors to assess Nabors&#146; interest in potentially acquiring an oil field services company that
provides rental tools, drilling, and well construction services. In March 2023, Nabors executed a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-disclosure</FONT> agreement with Parker and subsequently received a confidential information memorandum from
Moelis. In late March 2023, the Parker board of directors, Parker management and Moelis discussed postponing the formal sales process in light of unfavorable market conditions. In April 2023, Nabors met with Moelis to discuss Parker and the
opportunity, and the Parker board of directors and Parker management further discussed the sales process in light of market conditions. In June 2023, Moelis presented an update to the Parker board of directors and Parker management on the sales
process, including updates regarding various potential counterparties (including Nabors). During its July 2023 meeting, the Nabors board of directors discussed several potential acquisition candidates, and as one option Nabors&#146; management
provided the board of directors with an overview of Parker and the potential benefits of a transaction. Subsequently, Moelis informed Nabors that Parker&#146;s exploratory sales process had been tabled due to overall poor market conditions, with the
potential to restart at a later date. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In September 2023, Moelis and Parker management provided another update to the Parker board of
directors regarding the macroeconomic environment and other considerations. In November 2023, Moelis presented an illustrative process timeline for a potential <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-launch</FONT> of the Parker sales process and certain
potential bidders to target in such process (including Nabors). Parker also formally <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-engaged</FONT> Moelis as financial advisor for the Parker sales process at the end of 2023. </P>

and is qualified in its entirety by Section 262 of the DGCL, the relevant section of the DGCL regarding appraisal rights, the full text of which may be accessed without subscription or cost at the following publicly available website:
https://delcode.delaware.gov/title8/c001/sc09/index.html#262 and is incorporated into this proxy statement by reference. Holders of Parker common stock intending to exercise appraisal rights should carefully review the text of Section&nbsp;262 of
DGCL. Failure to follow precisely any of the statutory procedures set forth in Section&nbsp;262 of DGCL may result in a termination or waiver of these rights. This summary does not constitute legal or other advice, nor does it constitute a
recommendation that holders of Parker common stock exercise their appraisal rights under Delaware law. Under Section&nbsp;262, when a merger agreement is to be submitted for adoption at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation must, not less than
20 days prior to the meeting, notify each of its stockholders who was a stockholder on the record date for notice of such meeting with respect to shares of which appraisal rights are available that appraisal rights are available and include in the
notice a copy of Section&nbsp;262 or information directing the corporation&#146;s stockholders to a publicly available electronic resource at which Section 262 may be accessed without subscription or cost. This proxy statement/prospectus constitutes
Parker&#146;s notice to holders of Parker common stock of the availability of appraisal rights in connection with the merger. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A
stockholder or beneficial owner wishing to exercise the right to demand appraisal of his, her or its shares of Parker common stock must not vote in favor of the Parker merger proposal and must deliver to Parker a separate written demand for
appraisal of his, her or its shares before the vote with respect to the Parker merger proposal is taken. A stockholder&#146;s or beneficial owner&#146;s failure to make the written demand prior to the taking of the vote on the merger at the Parker
special meeting will constitute a waiver of appraisal rights. This written demand for appraisal must be in addition to and separate from any proxy or vote abstaining from or voting against the approval of the Parker merger proposal and the adoption
of the merger agreement such that a proxy, abstention or vote against the Parker merger proposal will not in and of itself constitute a written demand for appraisal satisfying the requirements of Section&nbsp;262. A stockholder exercising appraisal
rights must hold of record the shares of Parker common stock on the date the written demand for appraisal is made and must continue to hold the shares of record through the effective date of the merger. A demand for appraisal must reasonably inform
Parker of the identity of the stockholder and that such stockholder intends thereby to demand appraisal of the shares of Parker common stock held by such stockholder. A beneficial owner may, in such person&#146;s name, demand in writing an appraisal
of such beneficial owner&#146;s shares of Parker common stock. A demand for appraisal in respect of shares of Parker common stock should be executed by or on behalf of the beneficial owner and must reasonably inform Parker of the identity of the
beneficial owner and that the beneficial owner intends thereby to demand an appraisal of such owner&#146;s shares. The demand made by such beneficial owner must also (1) reasonably identify the holder of record of the shares of Parker common stock
for which the demand is made, (2) be accompanied by documentary evidence of such beneficial owner&#146;s continuous ownership of the stock and a statement that such documentary evidence is a true and correct copy of what it purports to be, and (3)
provide an address at which such beneficial owner consents to receive notices given by the surviving corporation and to be set forth on the verified list required by Section 262(f). A beneficial owner exercising appraisal rights must own the shares
of Parker common stock on the date the written demand for appraisal is made and must continue to own such shares through the effective date of the merger. If the merger is completed, within 10 days after the effective time, the surviving corporation
must give written notice that the merger has become effective to each holder of Parker common stock or beneficial owner who has not voted in favor of the Parker merger proposal and has otherwise complied with Section&nbsp;262. </P>

Beneficial owners who do not also hold the shares of record may not also make appraisal demands to Parker. If the shares are owned of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, the demand should be executed by or on
behalf of all joint owners. An authorized agent, including an authorized agent for two or more joint owners, may execute the demand for appraisal for a stockholder of record; however, the agent must identify the record owner or owners and expressly
disclose the fact that, in exercising the demand, he or she is acting as agent for the record owner. If a stockholder holds shares of Parker common stock through a broker who in turn holds the shares through a central securities depository nominee
such as Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., a demand for appraisal of such shares must be made by or on behalf of the depository nominee and must identify the depository nominee as the record owner. A record owner, such as a broker, who holds shares as a custodian
for others, may exercise the record owner&#146;s right of appraisal with respect to the shares held for one or more beneficial owners, while not exercising this right for other beneficial owners. In that case, the written demand should state the
number of shares as to which appraisal is sought. Where no number of shares is expressly mentioned, the demand will be presumed to cover all shares held in the name of the record owner. In addition, the stockholder must continuously hold the shares
of Parker common stock of record from the date of making the demand through the effective time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If you hold your shares of Parker common

appraisal, but has neither commenced an appraisal proceeding nor joined an appraisal proceeding as a named party, has the right to withdraw such stockholder&#146;s demand and accept the per share merger consideration pursuant to the terms of the
merger. If, following a demand for appraisal, a holder of Parker common stock or beneficial owner has withdrawn his, her or its demand for appraisal in accordance with Section&nbsp;262, such stockholder or beneficial owner will receive no additional
consideration for his, her or its shares of Parker common stock in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Within 120 days
after the effective time, any stockholder or beneficial owner who has delivered a demand for appraisal in accordance with Section&nbsp;262 will, upon written request to the surviving corporation, be entitled to receive from the surviving corporation

holding or owning such shares. This written statement will be given to the requesting stockholder within 10 days after the stockholder&#146;s written request is received by the surviving corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period
for delivery of demands for appraisal, whichever is later. Within 120 days after the effective time, either the surviving corporation or any stockholder or beneficial owner who has complied with the conditions of Section&nbsp;262 may commence an
appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the &#147;fair value&#148; of the shares of Parker common stock held by all dissenting stockholders. Upon the filing of the petition by a
stockholder, service of a copy of the petition must be made upon the surviving corporation. The surviving corporation has no obligation to file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery in the event there are dissenting stockholders, and Parker
has no present intent to file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery. Accordingly, holders of Parker common stock or beneficial owners who desire to have their shares appraised should initiate any petitions necessary for the perfection of

verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders and beneficial owners who have demanded an appraisal of their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving corporation.
The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Delaware Court of Chancery, must give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving corporation and to the stockholders and
beneficial owners shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication must be approved by the Delaware Court of Chancery, and the costs thereof will be borne by the surviving corporation. After the
Register in Chancery provides notice to those stockholders and the surviving corporation, if so ordered by the Delaware Court of Chancery, the Delaware Court of Chancery is empowered to conduct a hearing upon the petition, and to determine those
stockholders who have complied with Section&nbsp;262 and who have become entitled to the appraisal rights provided thereby. The Delaware Court of Chancery may require the stockholders and beneficial owners who have demanded appraisal for their
shares and who hold certificated shares of Parker common stock to submit their stock certificates to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings, and if any stockholder or beneficial owners fails to

accomplishment or expectation of the merger, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the &#147;fair value.&#148; Unless the Delaware Court of Chancery in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown,

(including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date and the date of payment of the judgment. At any time before the entry of judgment in the proceedings, the surviving corporation may pay to each
stockholder or beneficial owners entitled to appraisal an amount in cash, in which case interest shall accrue thereafter only upon the sum of (a)&nbsp;the difference, if any, between the amount paid and the &#147;fair value&#148; of the shares as
determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and (b)&nbsp;interest theretofore accrued, unless paid at that time. Upon application by the surviving corporation or by any stockholder or beneficial owners entitled to participate in the appraisal
proceeding, the Delaware Court of Chancery may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal before the final determination of the stockholders or beneficial owners entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list
filed by the surviving corporation and who has submitted such stockholder&#146;s stock certificates to the Register in Chancery, if so required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not

exercising appraisal rights. The costs of the appraisal proceedings (which do not include attorneys&#146; fees or the fees and expenses of experts) may be determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and taxed upon the parties as the Delaware Court
of Chancery deems equitable under the circumstances. Upon the application of a stockholder or beneficial owners, the Delaware Court of Chancery may also order that all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder or beneficial owners in
connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys&#146; fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all shares entitled to appraisal. In the absence of such an
order, each party bears its own expenses. From and after the effective time, no holder of Parker common stock or beneficial owners who has duly demanded appraisal in compliance with Section&nbsp;262 shall be entitled to vote such shares of Parker
common stock subject to that demand for any purpose, or to receive payments of dividends or any other distributions with respect to those shares, other than with respect to dividends or distributions payable to record stockholders as of a record
date prior to the effective time; however, if no petition for appraisal is filed within 120 days after the effective time, or if the stockholder or beneficial owners delivers to the surviving corporation a written withdrawal of his, her or its
demand for appraisal and an acceptance of the terms of the merger within 60 days after the effective time, then the right of such stockholder or beneficial owners to appraisal will cease and that stockholder or beneficial owners will be entitled to
receive no additional consideration in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement. Any withdrawal of a demand for appraisal made more than 60 days after the effective time may only be made with the written approval of the surviving
corporation. No appraisal proceeding in the Delaware Court of Chancery will be dismissed as to any stockholder or beneficial owners without the approval of the court, which approval may be conditioned upon any terms the Delaware Court of Chancery
deems just. However, the foregoing will not affect the right of any holder of Parker common stock or beneficial owner who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined an appraisal proceeding as a named party to withdraw such
stockholder&#146;s or beneficial owner&#146;s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger within 60 days after the effective time. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Persons considering seeking appraisal should be aware that the fair value of their shares as so determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery
could be more than, the same as or less than the consideration they would receive pursuant to the merger if they did not seek appraisal of their shares. Although Parker believes that the per share merger consideration is fair, no representation is
made as to the outcome of the appraisal of fair value as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, and holders of record and beneficial owners of Parker common stock should recognize that such an appraisal could result in a determination of a
value higher or lower than, or the same as, the per share merger consideration. Neither Parker nor Nabors anticipates offering more than the per share merger consideration to any stockholder or beneficial owner exercising appraisal rights, and each
of Parker and Nabors reserves the rights to make a voluntary cash payment pursuant to subsection (h) of Section 262 and to assert, in any appraisal proceeding, that for purposes of Section 262, the &#147;fair value&#148; of a share of Parker common
stock is less than the per share merger consideration. If a petition for appraisal is not timely filed, then the right to an appraisal will cease. </P>

complexity of Section&nbsp;262, holders of Parker common stock and beneficial owners who may wish to not approve the Parker merger proposal and instead pursue appraisal rights should consult their legal advisors. To the extent there are any

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Parker was established as &#147;Parker Drilling Company&#148; in 1934 and later incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1976. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Parker is an integrated service provider of advanced wellbore construction solutions for transitioning energy markets. Its global
technology-enabled products and services optimize performance and minimize risk to both hydrocarbon and energy transition applications, including geothermal, well abandonment, and CCS markets. Parker has operated in over 60 countries since beginning
operations in 1934, making it among the most geographically experienced drilling contractors and rental tools providers in the world. It currently has operations in 14 countries. Parker has participated in numerous world records for deep and
extended-reach drilling and is an industry leader in quality, health, safety and environmental practices. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Parker&#146;s business is
comprised of two main business lines: (1)&nbsp;rental tools services and (2)&nbsp;drilling services. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Rental Tools Services Business </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In its rental tools services business, Parker provides premium rental equipment and services to exploration and production companies, drilling
contractors, and service companies on land and offshore in the U.S. and select international markets. Tools it provides include standard and heavy-weight drill pipe, all of which are available with standard or high-torque connections, tubing, drill
collars, pressure control equipment, including blowout preventers, and more. Parker also provides well construction services, which include tubular running services and downhole tool rentals; well intervention services, which include whipstocks,
fishing and related services; and inspection and machine shop support. Rental tools are used during drilling and/or workover programs and are requested by the customer as needed, requiring the Company to keep a broad inventory of rental tools in
stock. Rental tools are usually rented on a daily or monthly basis. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the U.S., the Company provides rental tools and well construction

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the drilling services business, Parker drills oil, natural gas, and geothermal wells for customers globally. It provides this service with
both Company-owned rigs and customer-owned rigs. The provision of drilling services with customer-owned rigs is referred to as operations and management (&#147;O&amp;M&#148;) service, in which customers own their drilling rigs but choose Parker to
operate and manage the rigs for them. The nature and scope of activities involved in drilling a well is similar whether it is drilled with a Company-owned rig (as </P>

project management, commissioning of customer-owned drilling rig projects, operations execution, and quality and safety management. Parker has extensive experience and expertise in drilling geologically challenging wells and in managing the
logistical and technological challenges of operating in remote, harsh, and ecologically sensitive areas. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the U.S., the Company
provides drilling services in the GOM and Alaska markets. In the GOM, Parker maintains a fleet of barge drilling rigs to address the inland waterway oil and gas and CCS markets. The GOM business also provides O&amp;M and P&amp;A services offshore
Texas, Louisiana and California. In Alaska, Parker provides drilling services on two technologically advanced Arctic class drilling rigs on the North Slope, as well as O&amp;M services on customer-owned rigs on the North Slope and in the Cook Inlet.

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In drilling markets, most contracts are awarded on a competitive bidding basis and operators often consider reliability, efficiency, and

local contractors. Although local drilling contractors often have lower labor and mobilization costs, Parker is generally able to distinguish itself from these companies based on its technical expertise, safety performance, quality of service, and
experience. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the GOM barge drilling market, Parker competes with a small number of contractors, with the largest number and greatest

reliability, efficiency, and safety, in addition to price. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In rental tools markets, Parker competes with both large and small suppliers,
as well as other rental tool companies, based on breadth of inventory, availability of product, quality of product and service, and price. In the U.S. market, the Company&#146;s network of locations provides broad and efficient product availability
for its customers. In international markets, some of the rental tools business is obtained in conjunction with the Company&#146;s drilling and O&amp;M projects. </P>

awarded based on competitive bidding. The rates specified in drilling contracts vary depending upon the type of rig employed, equipment and services supplied, crew complement, geographic location, term of the contract, competitive conditions, and
other variables. The Company&#146;s contracts generally provide for an operating dayrate during drilling operations, with lower rates for periods of equipment downtime, customer stoppage, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">well-to-well</FONT></FONT> rig moves, adverse weather, or other conditions, and no payment when certain conditions continue beyond contractually established parameters. Contracts typically provide for a different dayrate
or specified fixed payments during mobilization or demobilization. The terms of most of the Company&#146;s contracts are based on either a specified period of time or a specified number of wells. The contract term in some instances may be extended
by the customer exercising options for an additional time period or for the drilling of additional wells, or by exercising a right of first refusal. Most of the Company&#146;s contracts allow termination by the customer prior to the end of the term
without penalty under certain circumstances, such as the loss of or major damage to the drilling unit or other events that cause the suspension of drilling operations beyond a specified period of time. Certain contracts require the customer to pay
an early termination fee if the customer terminates a contract before the end of the term without cause. The Company&#146;s project services contracts include engineering, procurement, and project management consulting, for which Parker is
compensated through labor rates and cost-plus arrangements for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-labor</FONT> items. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Rental tools

hurricane season from June through November, which could halt operations for prolonged periods or limit contract opportunities during that period. In addition, mobilization, demobilization, or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT

estimate of the dollar amount of drilling contract revenues it expects to realize in the future as a result of executing awarded contracts. The Company&#146;s backlog of firm orders was approximately $410.1&nbsp;million as of September 30, 2024. The
Company estimates that, as of September&nbsp;30, 2024, 33.5&nbsp;percent of the Company&#146;s backlog will be recognized as revenues within one year. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The amount of actual revenues earned and the actual periods during which revenues are earned could be different from amounts disclosed in the
Company&#146;s backlog calculations due to a lack of predictability of various factors, including the scope of equipment and service provided, unscheduled repairs, maintenance requirements, weather delays, contract terminations or renegotiations,
new contracts, and other factors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Insurance and Indemnification </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Substantially all of the Company&#146;s operations are subject to hazards that are customary for oil and natural gas drilling operations,
including blowouts, reservoir damage, loss of production, loss of well control, lost or stuck drill strings, equipment defects, cratering, oil and natural gas well fires and explosions, natural disasters, pollution, mechanical failure, and damage or
loss during transportation. Some of the Company&#146;s fleet is also subject to hazards inherent in marine operations, either while <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">on-site</FONT> or during mobilization, such as capsizing, sinking, grounding,
collision, damage from severe weather, and marine life infestations. These hazards could result in damage to or destruction of drilling equipment, personal injury and property damage, suspension of operations, or environmental damage, which could
lead to claims by third parties or customers, suspension of operations, and contract terminations. The Company has had accidents in the past due to some of these hazards. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s contracts provide for varying levels of indemnification between itself and its customers. The Company maintains insurance
with respect to personal injuries, damage to or loss of equipment, and various other business risks, including well control and subsurface risk. The Company&#146;s insurance policies typically have <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">12-month</FONT>
policy periods. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s insurance program provides coverage, to the extent not otherwise paid by the customer under the
indemnification provisions of the drilling or rental tools contract, for liability due to well control events and liability arising from third-party claims, including wrongful death and other personal injury claims by its personnel as well as claims
brought on behalf of individuals who are not its employees. Generally, the Company&#146;s insurance program provides liability coverage up to $250.0&nbsp;million, with retentions of $1.0&nbsp;million or less. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Well control events generally include an unintended flow from the well that cannot be contained by using equipment on site (<I>e.g.</I>, a

customers typically indemnify the Company for damage to the Company&#146;s equipment down-hole, and in some cases, the Company&#146;s subsea equipment, generally based on replacement cost minus some level of depreciation. However, in certain
contracts the Company may assume liability for damage to the Company&#146;s customer&#146;s property and other third-party property on the rig and in other contracts the Company is not indemnified by its customers for damage to their property and,

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Environmental Matters</I></B>. The Company&#146;s operations are subject to numerous U.S. federal, state, and local laws and
regulations, as well as the laws and regulations of other jurisdictions in which the Company operates, pertaining to the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. Numerous governmental agencies, such as the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (&#147;EPA&#148;) and state equivalents, issue regulations to implement and enforce laws pertaining to the environment, which often require costly compliance measures that carry substantial administrative, civil and criminal
penalties or may result in injunctive relief for failure to comply. These laws and regulations may require the acquisition of a permit before drilling commences; restrict the types, quantities and concentrations of various substances that can be
released into the environment in connection with drilling and production activities; limit or prohibit construction or drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands, ecologically or seismically sensitive areas, and other
protected areas; require remedial action to clean up pollution from former operations; and impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from the Company&#146;s operations. Liability under such laws and regulations is often strict (i.e., no
showing of &#147;fault&#148; is required) and can be joint and several. Moreover, it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the release of
hazardous substances, hydrocarbons or other waste products into the environment. Changes in environmental laws and regulations occur frequently, and any changes that result in more stringent and costly compliance could adversely affect the
Company&#146;s operations and financial position, as well as those of similarly situated entities operating in the same markets. The Company&#146;s management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with current applicable
environmental laws and regulations, and the Company has not experienced any material adverse effect from compliance with these environmental requirements. This trend, however, may not continue in the future. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As an owner or operator of both onshore and offshore facilities, including mobile offshore drilling rigs in or near waters of the United
States, the Company may be liable for the costs of clean up and damages arising out of a pollution incident to the extent set forth in federal statutes such as the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (commonly known as the Clean Water Act
(&#147;CWA&#148;)), as amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (&#147;OPA&#148;); the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (&#147;OCSLA&#148;); the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (&#147;CERCLA&#148;); the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (&#147;RCRA&#148;); the Clean Air Act (&#147;CAA&#148;); the Endangered Species Act (&#147;ESA&#148;); the Occupational Safety and Health Act; the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (&#147;EPCRA&#148;);
and the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act (&#147;HMTA&#148;) as well as comparable state laws. In addition, the Company may also be subject to civil claims arising out of any such pollution incident. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Water Discharges</I></B>. The CWA and analogous state laws impose restrictions and strict controls with respect to the unauthorized
discharge of pollutants, including spills and leaks of oil and other substances, into waters of the United States, as well as state waters. The discharge of pollutants into regulated waters, including jurisdictional wetlands, is prohibited, except
in accordance with the terms of a permit issued by the EPA or an analogous state agency. In addition, the CWA and analogous state laws require individual permits or coverage under general permits for discharges of storm water runoff from certain
types of facilities. Federal and state regulatory agencies can impose administrative, civil and criminal penalties as well as other enforcement mechanisms for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-compliance</FONT> with discharge permits or other
requirements of the CWA and analogous state laws and regulations. The CWA and analogous state laws provide for administrative, civil and criminal penalties for unauthorized discharges and impose rigorous requirements for spill prevention and

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Offshore Drilling</I></B>. The OCSLA authorizes regulations relating to safety and environmental protection applicable to lessees and
permittees operating on the Outer Continental Shelf. Specific design and operational standards may apply to Outer Continental Shelf vessels, rigs, platforms, vehicles and structures. The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement
(&#147;BSEE&#148;) regulates the design and operation of well control and other equipment at offshore production sites, implementation of safety and environmental management systems, and mandatory third-party compliance audits, among other
requirements. Violations of environmentally related lease conditions or regulations issued pursuant to the OCSLA can result in substantial civil and criminal penalties as well as potential court injunctions curtailing operations and the cancellation
of leases. Such enforcement liabilities, delay, or restriction of activities can result from either governmental or citizen prosecution. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">High-profile and catastrophic events, such as the 2010 Macondo (Deepwater Horizon) well incident, have heightened governmental and
environmental focus on the oil and gas industry. From time to time, legislative proposals have been introduced that would materially limit or prohibit offshore drilling in certain areas. The Company&#146;s operations, and those of the Company&#146;s
customers, are impacted by restrictions on drilling in certain areas of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere, including the adoption of additional safety requirements and policies regarding the approval of drilling permits and restrictions on
development and production activities in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On August&nbsp;23, 2023, BSEE published a final blowout preventer
system and well control rule that strengthens testing and performance requirements for blowout preventers and other well control equipment (the &#147;2023 Well Control Rule&#148;). Additionally, on April&nbsp;24, 2024, the Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management (&#147;BOEM&#148;) published a final rule to modify the financial assurance requirements for offshore leaseholders. These new financial assurance requirements could increase the Company&#146;s customers&#146; operating costs and impact
the Company&#146;s customers&#146; ability to obtain leases, thereby, reducing demand for the Company&#146;s products. Third-party challenges to industry operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico may also serve to further delay or restrict activities.
For example, in August 2022, the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals found two oil leases in the Gulf of Mexico were unlawful for failure to properly analyze risk under the National Environmental Policy Act. If the new regulations,
policies, operating procedures and possibility of increased legal liability are viewed by the Company&#146;s current or future customers as a significant impairment to expected profitability on projects or an unjustifiable increase in risk, they
could discontinue or curtail their offshore operations, thereby adversely affecting the demand for the Company&#146;s equipment and services, which, in turn, could adversely affect the Company&#146;s financial condition, results of operation, or
cash flows. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Remediation of Hazardous Substances</I></B>. CERCLA (also known as &#147;Superfund&#148;) and comparable state laws
impose liability without regard to fault or the legality of the activity, on certain classes of persons who are considered to be responsible for the release of hazardous substances into the environment. These persons include the current owner or
operator of a contaminated facility, a former owner or operator of the facility at the time of contamination, and those persons that disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substance at the facility. While CERCLA exempts crude oil
from the definition of hazardous substances for purposes of the statute, the Company&#146;s operations may involve the use or handling of other materials that may be classified as hazardous substances. Under CERCLA and comparable state statutes,
persons deemed &#147;responsible parties&#148; are subject to strict liability that, in some circumstances, may be joint and several for the costs of removing or remediating previously disposed wastes (including wastes disposed of or released by
prior owners or operators) or property contamination (including groundwater contamination), for damages to natural resources and for the costs of certain health studies. In addition, it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third
parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment. In the course of the Company&#146;s operations, the Company uses materials that, if released, would

be subject to CERCLA and comparable state statutes. Therefore, governmental agencies or third parties may seek to hold the Company responsible under CERCLA and comparable state statutes for all
or part of the costs to clean up sites at which such &#147;hazardous substances&#148; have been released. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Waste Handling</I></B>.
RCRA and comparable state laws regulate the management and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes. Current RCRA regulations specifically exclude from the definition of hazardous waste &#147;drilling fluids, produced waters, and other wastes
associated with the exploration, development or production of crude oil, natural gas or geothermal energy.&#148; However, these wastes and other wastes may be otherwise regulated by EPA or state agencies. Moreover, ordinary industrial wastes, such
as paint wastes, spent solvents, laboratory wastes, and used oils, may be regulated as hazardous waste. Although the costs of managing solid and hazardous wastes may be significant and new regulations may be imposed, the Company does not expect to
experience more burdensome costs than competitor companies involved in similar drilling operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Air Emissions</I></B>. The CAA
and similar state laws and regulations restrict the emission of air pollutants and may also impose various monitoring and reporting requirements. In addition, those laws may require the Company to obtain permits for the construction, modification,
or operation of certain projects or facilities and the utilization of specific equipment or technologies to control emissions. For example, the EPA has adopted regulations known as &#147;RICE MACT&#148; that require the use of &#147;maximum
achievable control technology&#148; to reduce formaldehyde and other emissions from certain stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines, which can include portable engines used to power drilling rigs. In addition, in May 2016, the EPA
finalized rules regarding criteria for aggregating multiple small surface sites into a single source for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">air-quality</FONT> permitting purposes applicable to the oil and gas industry. This rule could cause small
facilities, on an aggregate basis, to be deemed a major source, thereby triggering more stringent air permitting requirements. The EPA has also adopted new rules under the CAA that require the reduction of volatile organic compound emissions from
certain fractured and refractured natural gas wells for which well completion operations are conducted and further require that most wells use reduced emission completions, also known as &#147;green completions.&#148; These regulations also
establish specific new requirements regarding emissions from production-related wet seal and reciprocating compressors, and from pneumatic controllers and storage vessels. The EPA received numerous requests for reconsideration of these rules from
both industry and the environmental community, and court challenges to the rules were also filed. In response, the EPA has issued, and will likely continue to issue, revised rules responsive to some of the requests for reconsideration. In
particular, on May&nbsp;12, 2016, the EPA amended the Nonpoint Source (NSP) standards to impose new standards for methane and VOC emissions for certain new, modified and reconstructed equipment, processes and activities across the oil and natural
gas sector. However, on August&nbsp;13, 2020, in response to an executive order by former President Trump to review and revise unduly burdensome regulations, the EPA amended the 2012 and 2016 New Source Performance standards to ease regulatory
burdens, including rescinding standards applicable to transmission or storage segments and eliminating methane requirements altogether. On June&nbsp;30, 2021, President Biden signed into law a joint resolution of Congress disapproving the 2020
amendments (with the exception of some technical changes) thereby reinstating the 2012 and 2016 New Source Performance standards. The EPA expects owners and operators of regulated sources to take &#147;immediate steps&#148; to comply with these
standards. Additionally, on December&nbsp;2, 2023, the EPA announced a final rule that would expand and strengthen emission reduction requirements for both new and existing sources in the oil and natural gas industry by requiring increased
monitoring of fugitive emissions, imposing new requirements for pneumatic controllers and tank batteries and prohibiting venting of natural gas in certain situations. In July 2023, the Biden Administration also announced a new Cabinet-level task
force aimed at detecting and cracking down on methane leaks. These new standards, as well as any future laws and their implementing regulations, may require the Company to obtain <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-approval</FONT> for the expansion
or modification of existing facilities or the construction of new facilities expected to produce air emissions, impose stringent air permit requirements, or mandate the use of specific equipment or technologies to control emissions. The Company
cannot predict the final regulatory requirements or the cost to comply with such requirements with any certainty. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Further, the EPA

assessment published by EPA in March 2023 indicates preparations for the standard to be reconsidered. When final, the policy assessment will assist the EPA to determine whether to retain for revise the current standard. Revised NAAQS, and state
implementation of a new standard, could result in stricter permitting requirements or delay, or limit the Company&#146;s ability or the Company&#146;s customers&#146; ability to obtain permits, and result in increased expenditures for pollution

suggested that emissions of certain gases including carbon dioxide and methane, commonly referred to as &#147;greenhouse gases&#148; (&#147;GHGs&#148;), may be contributing to the warming of the atmosphere resulting in climate change. There are a
variety of legislative and regulatory developments, proposals, requirements, and initiatives that have been introduced in the U.S. and international regions in which the Company operates that are intended to address concerns that emissions of GHGs
are contributing to climate change and these may increase costs of compliance for the Company&#146;s drilling services or the Company&#146;s customer&#146;s operations. For example, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 and the
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the &#147;IRA&#148;), include billions of dollars in incentives for the development of renewable energy, clean hydrogen, clean fuels, electric vehicles, investments in advanced biofuels and supporting infrastructure
and carbon capture and sequestration. Also, in March 2024, the EPA proposed finalized ambitious rules to reduce harmful air pollutant emissions, including GHGs, from light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles beginning in model year 2027. These
incentives and regulations could accelerate the transition of the economy away from the use of fossil fuels toward lower- or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">zero-carbon</FONT> emissions alternatives, which could decrease demand for oil and natural
gas and therefore adversely impact the Company&#146;s business. In addition, the IRA imposes the first ever federal fee on the emission of GHGs through a methane emissions charge. The IRA amends the CAA to impose a fee on the emission of methane
that exceeds an applicable waste emissions threshold from sources required to report their GHG emissions to the EPA, including those sources in offshore and onshore petroleum and natural gas production and gathering and boosting source categories.
The methane emissions charge began in 2024 at $900 per ton of methane, will increase to $1,200 in 2025 and will then be set at $1,500 for 2026 and each year after. Calculation of the fee is based on certain thresholds established in the IRA. On
May&nbsp;6, 2024, the EPA published a final rule to implement the methane emissions charge. The methane emissions charge could increase the Company&#146;s customers&#146; operating costs, which could adversely impact the Company&#146;s business,
financial condition and cash flows. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At the international level, in December 2015, the United States participated in the 21st Conference
of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris, France. The resulting Paris Agreement calls for the parties to undertake &#147;ambitious efforts&#148; to limit the average global temperature, and to conserve and
enhance sinks and reservoirs of GHGs. The Paris Agreement went into effect on November&nbsp;4, 2016. On April&nbsp;21, 2021, the United States announced that it was setting an economy-wide target of reducing its GHG emissions by <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">50-52&nbsp;percent</FONT> below 2005 levels in 2030. In November 2021, in connection with the 26th Conference of the Parties in Glasgow, Scotland, the United States and other world leaders made further commitments to
reduce GHG emissions, including reducing global methane emissions by at least 30% by 2030 from 2020 levels. More than 150 countries have now signed on to this pledge. Most recently, at the 28th Conference of the Parties in the United Arab Emirates,
world leaders agreed to transition away from fossil fuels in a just, orderly and equitable manner and to triple renewables and double energy efficiency globally by 2030. Furthermore, many state and local leaders have stated their intent to intensify

species is listed as threatened or endangered, restrictions may be imposed on activities adversely affecting that species&#146; habitat. Similar protections are offered to migratory birds under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The Company may conduct
operations on natural gas and oil leases in areas where certain species that are listed as threatened or endangered are known to exist and where other species that potentially could be listed as threatened or endangered may exist. A critical habitat
or suitable habitat designation could result in further material restrictions and may materially delay or prohibit land access for natural gas and oil development. The designation of previously unprotected species as threatened or endangered in
areas where operations are conducted could cause the Company to incur increased costs arising from species protection measures or could result in limitations on the Company&#146;s customer&#146;s exploration and production activities that could have
an adverse impact on their ability to develop and produce reserves. If the Company&#146;s customers were to have a portion of their leases designated as critical or suitable habitat, it could have a material adverse impact on the demand for the
Company&#146;s products and services. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Safety and Maintenance Regulation</I></B>. The Company&#146;s operations are also governed by
laws and regulations related to workplace safety and worker health, primarily the Occupational Safety and Health Act and regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, various other governmental and quasi-governmental agencies require the Company
to obtain certain miscellaneous permits, licenses and certificates with respect to the Company&#146;s operations. The kind of permits, licenses and certificates required by the Company&#146;s operations depend upon a number of factors. The Company
believe it has the necessary permits, licenses and certificates that are material to the conduct of the Company&#146;s existing business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Properties

with revenues of $461.2&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2022. The increase in revenues was primarily driven in the Western Hemisphere by increased pricing and utilization of tubular rentals in the U.S., increased drilling
activities as one of our Alaska owned rigs spudded during the year, and increased O&amp;M activities related to utilization and higher incentive rates based upon our performance pricing contract on customer-owned rigs. In addition, in the Eastern
Hemisphere, one rig spudded in Bangladesh in the second half of the year, and we experienced an increase in tubular sales in Kazakhstan, and a full year of tubular machining services business that was acquired in Norway in late 2022. </P>

with revenues of $315.2&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2021. The increase in revenues was primary driven in the Western Hemisphere by increased pricing and utilization of tubular rentals in the U.S., increased services for our
O&amp;M projects in the Atlantic Coast of Canada and in Alaska and increased utilization of our Gulf of Mexico barge fleet. In addition, in the Eastern Hemisphere, we had an increase in rental services in India during the year ended

2022, as compared with a total operating gross margin loss of $(19.9) million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2021. The increase in total operating gross margin in 2022 was primarily a result of the above-mentioned growths and activities that

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Revenues decreased $2.4&nbsp;million, or 1.6&nbsp;percent, to $143.0&nbsp;million for the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2024, as
compared with revenues of $145.4&nbsp;million for the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2023. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to decreased utilization of our owned rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, and our owned rig in Bangladesh (on which
casing running, fishing and tubular rental services were provided) was fully operational during the third quarter of 2023 compared with no operations for the same quarter in 2024 after demobilizing in the first half of 2024. These decreases were
partially offset by both of our Alaska owned rigs operating for a full quarter during the third quarter of 2024 compared with the same quarter in the prior year wherein only one rig was operational. There was also an increase in services for our
O&amp;M project off the Atlantic Coast of Canada and higher well construction and well intervention activity in the UAE. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Total Operating Gross Margin

September&nbsp;30, 2024, as compared with $24.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease for the third quarter of 2024 was primarily due to the above-mentioned activities. </P>

$4.9&nbsp;million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to decreases in personnel expenses and professional fees. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Gain (Loss)

months ended September&nbsp;30, 2024 and the three months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The net gain for the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2024 was primarily related to disposal of equipment deemed to be excess, obsolete, or no
longer required for operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Interest Expense and Income </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Interest expense decreased $0.5&nbsp;million to $6.4&nbsp;million for the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2024, compared with
$6.9&nbsp;million for the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in the principal balance of the loan after a voluntary prepayment was made in December 2023 on a portion of the Term Loan.
Interest income during each of the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was earned on our cash balances. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Other </I></P>

months ended September&nbsp;30, 2023. We recorded income tax expense in the third quarters of 2024 and 2023 due to the jurisdictional mixes of income and loss during the periods, along with our continued inability to recognize the benefits
associated with certain losses as a result of valuation allowances. </P>

revenues of $435.1&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2023. The increase in revenues was primarily due to our owned rig in Bangladesh operating the majority of the first half of 2024 while also realizing demobilization
revenues for this rig, compared with only working a few months in the same period in 2023, and both of the Alaska owned rigs operating for the nine months compared with the same nine months in the prior year wherein only one rig was operational for
a minimal period. The increase in revenues was also due to additional services for our O&amp;M project off the Atlantic Coast of Canada. These increases were partially offset by decreased utilization in the Gulf of Mexico barge rigs and of one rig
in Mexico, as well as a decrease in tubular rental volumes in the US. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Total Operating Gross Margin </I></P>

principal balance of the Term Loan after a voluntary prepayment was made in December 2023 on a portion of the Term Loan. Interest income during each of the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was earned on our cash

affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those
related to fair value of assets, bad debt, materials and supplies obsolescence, property and equipment, goodwill, income taxes, workers&#146; compensation and health insurance and contingent liabilities for which settlement is deemed to be probable.
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. While we believe that such estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates. </P>

estimated for losses that may occur resulting from disputed amounts and the inability of our customers to pay amounts owed. We estimate the allowance based on historical <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">write-off</FONT> experience and information
about specific customers. We review individually, for collectability, all balances over 90 days past due as well as balances due from any customer to which we have information leading us to believe that a potential collection risk exists. Account
balances are charged off against the allowance when we believe it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. We do not have any <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">off-balance-sheet</FONT> credit exposure related to customers. </P>

highest to lowest level of observable inputs, as follows: (1)&nbsp;unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 1), (2) direct or indirect observable inputs, including quoted prices or other market data, for

carrying values of such assets may not be recoverable. We evaluate recoverability by determining the undiscounted estimated future net cash flows for the respective asset groups identified. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less
than the carrying value of the asset group, we measure the impairment as the amount by which the assets&#146; carrying value exceeds the fair value of such assets. Management considers a number of factors such as estimated future cash flows from the
assets, appraisals, and current market value analysis in determining fair value. Assets are written down to fair value if the final estimate of current fair value is below the net carrying value. The assumptions used in the impairment evaluation are
inherently uncertain and require management judgment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Intangible Assets </I></B></P>

intangibles that are generally amortized over a weighted average period of approximately three to six years. We assess the recoverability of the unamortized balance of our intangible assets when indicators of impairment are present based on expected
future profitability and undiscounted expected cash flows and their contribution to our overall operations. Should the review indicate that the carrying value is not fully recoverable, the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the
intangible assets would be recognized as an impairment loss. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Accrual for Self-Insurance </I></B></P>

reservoir damage, loss of production, loss of well control, lost or stuck drill strings, equipment defects, cratering, oil and natural gas well fires and explosions, natural disasters, pollution, mechanical failure and damage or loss during
transportation. Some of our fleet is also subject to hazards inherent in marine operations, either while <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">on-site</FONT> or during mobilization, such as capsizing, sinking, grounding, collision, damage from severe
weather and marine life infestations. These hazards could result in damage to or destruction of drilling equipment, personal injury and property damage, suspension of operations or environmental damage, which could lead to claims by third parties or
customers, suspension of operations and contract terminations. We have had accidents in the past due to some of these hazards. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our
contracts provide for varying levels of indemnification between ourselves and our customers, including with respect to well control and subsurface risks. We seek to obtain indemnification from our customers by contract for certain of these risks. We
also maintain insurance for personal injuries, damage to or loss of equipment and other insurance coverage for various business risks. To the extent that we are unable to transfer such risks to customers by contract or indemnification agreements, we
seek protection through insurance. However, these insurance or indemnification agreements may not adequately protect us against liability from all of the consequences of the hazards described above. Moreover, our insurance coverage generally
provides that we assume a portion of the risk in the form of an insurance coverage deductible. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Based on the risks discussed above, we

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method and have been provided for based upon tax laws and rates in effect in the
countries in which operations are conducted and income or losses are generated. There is little or no expected relationship between the provision for or benefit from income taxes and income or loss before income taxes as the countries in which we
operate have taxation regimes that vary not only with respect to nominal rate, but also in terms of the availability of deductions, credits, and other benefits. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in
effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled and the effect of changes in tax rates is recognized in income in the period in which the change is enacted. Valuation allowances are established to
reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In order to determine the amount of deferred tax assets or liabilities, as well as the valuation allowances, we must
make estimates and assumptions regarding future taxable income, where rigs will be deployed and other matters. Changes in these estimates and assumptions, including changes in tax laws and other changes affecting our ability to recognize the
underlying deferred tax assets, could require us to adjust the valuation allowances. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company recognizes the effect of income tax
positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50.0&nbsp;percent likely of being realized and changes in recognition or measurement
are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Revenue Recognition </I></B></P>

companies, drilling contractors, and service companies on land and offshore in the U.S. and select international markets. Rental tools service revenues are recognized when control of a good or service is transferred to the customer. In a rental tool
and oilfield service implied contract, the &#147;good&#148; being provided to the customer is the rental tool or the personnel providing services on the customer&#146;s wellsite. The timing of when control of the goods or services begins
transferring to the customer in a standard rental tool and oilfield service implied contract triggers the commencement of revenue recognition and is typically when the equipment/personnel arrive on location. Control ceases to transfer (the revenue
recognition period ends) when the equipment/personnel depart the customer location. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The drilling services business comprised of both

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our international operations expose us to foreign currency exchange rate risk. There are a variety of techniques to minimize the exposure to
foreign currency exchange rate risk, including customer contract payment terms and the possible use of foreign currency exchange rate risk derivative instruments. Our primary foreign currency exchange rate risk management strategy involves
structuring customer contracts to provide for payment in primarily U.S. dollars and only in local currency if required. The payment portion denominated in local currency is based on anticipated local currency requirements over the contract term. Due
to various factors, including customer acceptance, local banking laws, other statutory requirements, local currency convertibility and the impact of inflation on local costs, actual foreign currency exchange rate risk needs may vary from those
anticipated in the customer contracts, resulting in partial exposure to foreign exchange risk. Fluctuations in foreign currencies typically have not had a material impact on our overall results. In situations where payments of local currency do not
equal local currency requirements, foreign currency exchange rate risk derivative instruments, specifically spot purchases, may be used to mitigate foreign exchange rate currency risk. We do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative
purposes. As of September 30, 2024, we had no open foreign currency exchange rate risk derivative contracts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Interest Rate Risk </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are exposed to changes in interest rates through our fixed rate debt. Typically, the fair market value of fixed rate debt will increase as
prevailing interest rates decrease and will decrease as prevailing interest rates increase. The fair value of our debt is estimated based on the present value of expected cash flows relating to the debt discounted at rates currently available to us

that residence may receive only one annual report and proxy statement or notice, as applicable, unless any Nabors shareholder at that address has given the broker contrary instructions. However, if any such Nabors shareholder residing at such an
address wishes to receive a separate annual report and proxy statement or Notice in the future, or if any such Nabors shareholder that elected to continue to receive such materials wishes to receive a single set of materials in the future, that

misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors&#146; report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable
user based on the consolidated financial statements. </P>

connections, tubing, drill collars, pressure control equipment, including blowout preventers, and more. We also provide well construction services, which includes tubular running services and downhole tool rentals, well intervention services, which
includes whipstocks, fishing, and related services, as well as inspection and machine shop support. Rental tools are used during drilling and/or workover programs and are requested by the customer as needed, requiring us to keep a broad inventory of

choose Parker to operate and manage the rigs for them. The nature and scope of activities involved in drilling a well is similar whether it is drilled with a Company-owned rig (as part of a traditional drilling contract) or a customer-owned rig (as
part of an O&amp;M contract). In addition, we provide project-related services, such as engineering, procurement, project management, commissioning of customer-owned drilling rig projects, operations execution, and quality and safety management. We
have extensive experience and expertise in drilling geologically challenging wells and in managing the logistical and technological challenges of operating in remote, harsh, and ecologically sensitive areas. </P>

flows is less than the carrying value of the asset group, we measure the impairment as the amount by which the assets&#146; carrying value exceeds the fair value of such assets. Management considers a number of factors such as estimated future cash
flows from the assets, appraisals, and current market value analysis in determining fair value. Assets are written down to fair value if the final estimate of current fair value is below the net carrying value. The assumptions used in the impairment

in effect in the countries in which operations are conducted and income or losses are generated.&nbsp;There is little or no expected relationship between the provision for or benefit from income taxes and income or loss before income taxes as the
countries in which we operate have taxation regimes that vary not only with respect to nominal rate, but also in terms of the availability of deductions, credits, and other benefits. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled and the effect of changes in tax rates is recognized in income in the period in which the change is enacted. Valuation allowances are
established to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In order to determine the amount of deferred tax assets or liabilities, as well as the valuation
allowances, we must make estimates and assumptions regarding future taxable income, where rigs will be deployed, and other matters. Changes in these estimates and assumptions, including changes in tax laws and other changes affecting our ability to
recognize the underlying deferred tax assets, could require us to adjust the valuation allowances. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The Company recognizes

(Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments&#148; (&#147;ASU <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2016-13&#148;).</FONT> This standard requires an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (&#147;CECL&#148;)
model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, each reporting entity should estimate an allowance for expected credit losses, which is intended to result in more timely recognition of losses. This model
replaces multiple existing impairment models in current. GAAP, which generally requires a loss to be incurred before it is recognized. The new standard applies to trade receivables arising from revenue transactions such as contract assets and
accounts receivable. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when, among other criteria, it is probable that an entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to when goods or services are transferred to a customer. When trade receivables are
recorded, they become subject to the CECL model and estimates of expected credit losses on trade receivables over their contractual life will be required to be recorded at inception based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable
and supportable forecasts. The standard is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2022. We adopted this standard effective January&nbsp;1, 2023, and there was not a material impact on our financial
position, results of operations, and cash flow. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify"><B>Accounting standards not yet adopted </B></P>

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">As part of the process of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is
required to determine its provision for income taxes. This process involves measuring temporary and permanent differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences and the NOL and tax credit
carryforwards result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized.&nbsp;The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income of appropriate character in each taxing jurisdiction during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.
Management considers the weight of available evidence, both positive and negative, including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income,
and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.&nbsp;To the extent the Company believes that it does not meet the test that recovery is more likely than not, it establishes a valuation allowance. To the extent that the Company establishes a
valuation allowance or changes this allowance in a period, it adjusts the tax provision or tax benefit in the consolidated statement of operations. We use our judgment in determining provisions or benefits for income taxes, and any valuation
allowance recorded against previously established deferred tax assets.&nbsp;We have measured the value of our deferred tax assets for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2023, based on the cumulative weight of positive and negative evidence that exists
as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Should the cumulative weight of all available positive and negative evidence change in the forecast period, the expectation of realization of deferred tax assets existing as of
December&nbsp;31, 2023, and prospectively may change. </P>

which begins to expire in 2033. The state NOL balance at December&nbsp;31, 2023 is $14.1&nbsp;million, which begins to expire in 2024. The foreign NOL balance is $55.9&nbsp;million, which begins to expire in 2024. On October&nbsp;1, 2023, our
Luxembourg entity elected to be treated as disregarded for tax purposes under the historical legacy US filing group providing a new source of income for realization of the US legacy group&#146;s deferred tax assets. As a result, we believe it is
more likely than not the Company will realize future income tax benefits related to its remaining U.S. Federal and state net deferred tax assets based on the combined historical results and expected market conditions known on the date of
measurement. The Company has therefore released the valuation allowance against its US Federal and state net deferred tax assets in the historical filing group with the exception of certain US tax attributes for capital loss carryforwards and
disallowed interest expense carryforwards. In addition, with our owned-rigs being deployed, Hungary has also demonstrated a return to a sustainable level of profitability. Therefore, the Company believes it has demonstrated sufficient historical
evidence of profitability that it is more likely than not the Company will realize its deferred tax assets in this jurisdiction. As such, Hungary no longer presents a valuation allowance. This is periodically reassessed and could change in the
future. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Our valuation allowance decreased $78.0&nbsp;million and $12.0&nbsp;million for the years ended December&nbsp;31,
2023, and December&nbsp;31, 2022, respectively, primarily due to the release of the US valuation allowance in the legacy structure and the movement in certain foreign net operating losses and other foreign deferred tax assets. </P>

subsidiaries and, therefore, has not recorded a deferred tax liability related to subject earnings. Upon distribution of additional earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, we could be subject to income taxes and withholding taxes.&nbsp;It is
not practicable to determine precisely the amount of taxes that may be payable on the eventual remittance of these earnings due to many factors, including application of foreign tax credits, levels of accumulated earnings and profits at the time of
remittance, and the sources of earnings remitted. The Company generally does not provide for taxes related to its undistributed earnings because such earnings either would not be taxable when remitted or they are considered to be indefinitely
reinvested.&nbsp;Taxes that would be incurred if the undistributed earnings of other subsidiaries were distributed to their ultimate parent company would not be material. </P>

Wellbore is an integrated service provider of complete wellbore services from drilling, to rental tools to well construction services. We have operated in over 60 countries since beginning operations in 1934, making us among the most geographically

companies, drilling contractors, and service companies on land and offshore in the U.S. and select international markets. Tools we provide include standard and heavy-weight drill pipe, all of which are available with standard or high-torque
connections, tubing, drill collars, pressure control equipment, including blowout preventers, and more. We also provide well construction services, which includes tubular running services and downhole tool rentals, well intervention services, which
includes whipstocks, fishing, and related services, as well as inspection and machine shop support. Rental tools are used during drilling and/or workover programs and are requested by the customer as needed, requiring us to keep a broad inventory of
rental tools in stock. Rental tools are usually rented on a daily or monthly basis. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Drilling Services Business </I></B></P>

service with both Company-owned rigs and customer-owned rigs. We refer to the provision of drilling services with customer-owned rigs as our operations and management (&#147;O&amp;M&#148;) service in which our customers own their drilling rigs, but
choose Parker to operate and manage the rigs for them. The nature and scope of activities involved in drilling a well is similar whether it is drilled with a Company-owned rig (as part of a traditional drilling contract) or a customer-owned rig (as
part of an O&amp;M contract). In addition, we provide project-related services, such as engineering, procurement, project management, commissioning of customer-owned drilling rig projects, operations execution, and quality and safety management. We
have extensive experience and expertise in drilling geologically challenging wells and in managing the logistical and technological challenges of operating in remote, harsh, and ecologically sensitive areas. </P>

As a result of these actions and in consideration of the criteria for discontinued operations, the Company concluded that our operations in Russia met the classification requirements of discontinued operations. The results of operations in Russia,
less applicable income tax expenses or benefits have been disclosed as discontinued operations and reported as a separate component in our statement of operations for current and all prior periods presented. All amounts included in the notes to the
unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements relate to continuing operations unless otherwise noted. In 2023, the remaining entities in Russia were fully closed resulting in an official exit from Russia. We incurred additional cost related
to discontinued operations in 2023. We do not anticipate any material discontinued operation activity in 2024. See Note 2 - Discontinued operations. </P>

indicate the carrying values of such assets may not be recoverable. We evaluate recoverability by determining the undiscounted estimated future net cash flows for the respective asset groups identified. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash
flows is less than the carrying value of the asset group, we measure the impairment as the amount by which the assets&#146; carrying value exceeds the fair value of such assets. Management considers a number of factors, such as estimated future cash
flows from the assets, appraisals, and current market value analysis in determining fair value. Assets are written down to fair value if the final estimate of current fair value is below the net carrying value. The assumptions used in the impairment
evaluation are inherently uncertain and require management judgment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Intangible Assets </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Our intangible assets are related to customer relationships, trade names, and developed technology, which are classified as
definite lived intangibles, that are generally amortized over a weighted average period of approximately three to six years. We assess the recoverability of the unamortized balance of our intangible assets when indicators of impairment are present
based on expected future profitability and undiscounted expected cash flows and their contribution to our overall operations. Should the review indicate that the carrying value is not fully recoverable, the excess of the carrying value over the fair
value of the intangible assets would be recognized as an impairment loss. See Note 3 - Intangible Assets. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Income Taxes </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method and have been provided for based upon tax laws and rates
in effect in the countries in which operations are conducted and income or losses are generated.&nbsp;There is little or no expected relationship between the provision for or benefit from income taxes and income or loss before income taxes as the
countries in which we operate have taxation regimes that vary not only with respect to nominal rate, but also in terms of the availability of deductions, credits, and other benefits. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled and the effect of changes in tax rates is recognized in income in the period in which the change is enacted. Valuation allowances are
established to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In order to determine the amount of deferred tax assets or liabilities, as well as the valuation
allowances, we must make estimates and assumptions regarding future taxable income, where rigs will be deployed, and other matters. Changes in these estimates and assumptions, including changes in tax laws and other changes affecting our ability to
recognize the underlying deferred tax assets, could require us to adjust the valuation allowances. </P>

rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, each reporting entity should estimate an allowance for expected credit losses, which is intended to result in more timely recognition of
losses. This model replaces multiple existing impairment models in current. GAAP, which generally requires a loss to be incurred before it is recognized. The new standard applies to trade receivables arising from revenue transactions such as
contract assets and accounts receivable. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when, among other criteria, it is probable that an entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to when goods or services are transferred to a customer. When trade
receivables are recorded, they become subject to the CECL model and estimates of expected credit losses on trade receivables over their contractual life will be required to be recorded at inception based on historical information, current
conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The standard is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2022. We adopted this standard effective January&nbsp;1, 2023, and there was not a
