Borr Drilling Limited Upsizes Notes Offering to $2.035 Billion Due 2032 and 2034
Borr Drilling Limited, a prominent name in the offshore drilling sector, recently announced substantial updates regarding its financing strategy. The company, headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda, has revealed that its wholly owned subsidiary, Borr IHC Limited, along with direct subsidiary Borr Finance LLC, has priced an aggregate offering of senior secured notes amounting to an impressive $2.035 billion. These notes comprise $1.1 billion of 8.750% senior secured notes due in 2032, and $935 million of 9.000% senior secured notes maturing in 2034. Notably, this represents a significant upsizing of $435 million over the initially anticipated offering amount.
According to the company’s announcement, the new notes are set to be guaranteed by Borr Drilling itself and other specified subsidiaries. Crucially, they will be secured on a senior basis by most of the company's rigs and various additional assets belonging to both the company and the subsidiary guarantors. As part of this strategic move, the proceeds from the notes are earmarked for multiple objectives. Primarily, the funds will be utilized to repurchase, redeem, or refinance in full the existing 10.000% Senior Secured Notes due in 2028, which currently have an aggregate principal amount of $1.128 billion outstanding. Additionally, the company plans to address its 10.375% Senior Secured Notes due in 2030, with an outstanding amount of $770 million.
This financing initiative serves not only to restructure current debt obligations but also to support various corporate purposes, including covering fees and expenses linked to this notes offering and the concurrent tender offer.
Looking ahead, the settlement of these notes is anticipated to occur on or around June 10, 2026, contingent upon standard closing conditions.
