​ During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased $164.4 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding Nabors Delaware’s notes for approximately $169.7 million in cash, including $4.5 million in accrued and unpaid interest. In connection with these repurchases, we recognized a $1.9 million loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 which is included in Other, net in our condensed consolidated statement of income (loss). ​ Parker Term Loan ​ On March 11, 2025, the Parker acquisition was completed. Prior to the acquisition, Parker was a party to a Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement (“Parker Term Loan”), dated March 26, 2019 (as amended in March 2021 and January 2023). The Parker Term Loan bears interest at a rate of 13% per annum, payable quarterly and matures on September 26, 2025. ​ The Parker Term Loan carries a customary change of control provision, which was triggered by the closing of the Parker acquisition. The change of control, when triggered, required that the Parker Term Loan be repaid or refinanced within 30 days of the Closing Date or that Parker make a change of control repayment offer pursuant to which it will offer to repurchase the term loans outstanding under the facility at 101% of the principal amount of such term loans. On March 25, 2025, the outstanding balance of $177.8 million was repaid utilizing our credit agreement, which is discussed below. ​ Credit Agreement ​ On June 17, 2024, Nabors Delaware amended and restated its existing credit agreement (as amended and restated, the “2024 Credit Agreement”). Under the 2024 Credit Agreement, the lenders have committed to provide to Nabors Delaware an aggregate principal amount of revolving loans at any time outstanding not in excess of $350.0 million, and the issuing banks have committed to provide a standalone letter of credit tranche that permits Nabors Delaware to issue reimbursement obligations under letters of credit in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $125.0 million. Letters of credit issued do not affect revolving loan capacity and vice versa. The 2024 Credit Agreement contains a $200.0 million uncommitted accordion feature that can be applied to increase the commitments under either the revolving loans or the letter of credit tranche, or both. ​ On September 4, 2025, Nabors Delaware entered into the first amendment to the 2024 Credit Agreement to revise the restricted payments covenant to permit Nabors Delaware to repurchase up to $100.0 million of equity of either Nabors Delaware or any parent entity in any fiscal year. Usage of this provision will reduce Nabors Delaware’s ability to make dividends on a dollar-for-dollar basis; any dividends distributed by Nabors Delaware will likewise reduce Nabors Delaware’s ability to make buybacks of equity on a dollar-for-dollar basis. ​ The Company is required to maintain an interest coverage ratio (EBITDA/interest expense) of 2.75:1.00, and a minimum guarantor value, requiring the guarantors (other than the Company) and their subsidiaries to own at least 90% of the consolidated property, plant and equipment of the Company. The facility matures on the earlier of (a) June 17, 2029 and (b) to the extent 10% or more of the respective principal amount of any of the 7.375% Senior Priority Guaranteed Notes due May 2027 or 7.50% Senior Guaranteed Notes due January 2028 or 50% or more of the principal amount of the 1.75% Senior Exchangeable Notes due June 2029 remains outstanding on the date that is 90 days prior to the applicable maturity date for such indebtedness, then such 90th day. Additionally, the Company is subject to covenants, which are subject to certain exceptions and include, among others, (a) a covenant restricting our ability to incur liens (subject to the additional liens basket of up to $150.0 million), (b) a covenant restricting its ability to pay dividends or make other distributions with respect to its capital stock and to repurchase certain indebtedness and (c) a covenant restricting the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to incur debt (subject to the grower debt basket of up to $100.0 million). The agreement also includes a collateral coverage requirement that the collateral rig fair value is to be no less than the collateral coverage threshold, as defined in the agreement. This requirement includes an independent appraisal report to be delivered every six months following the closing date. As of September 30, 2025, we had no borrowings and $75.2 million of letters of credit outstanding under our 2024 Credit Agreement. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the 2024 Credit Agreement at September 30, 2025 was 7.21%. In order to make any future borrowings under the 2024 Credit Agreement, Nabors and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries are subject to compliance with the conditions and covenants contained therein, including compliance with applicable financial ratios. ​ As of the date of this report, we were in compliance with all covenants under the 2024 Credit Agreement. We expect to remain in compliance with all covenants under the 2024 Credit Agreement during the twelve-month period following the date of this report based on our current operational and financial projections. However, we can make no assurance of continued compliance if our current projections or material underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect. If we fail to comply with the covenants, the revolving credit commitment could be terminated, and any outstanding borrowings under the facility could be declared immediately due and payable.
