Risk factors (1/3) An investment in the Company should be considered as a high-risk investment. A number of risk factors may adversely affect the Group. The risks listed below are not the only ones facing the Group. Additional risks not presently known to the Company or which the Company currently deems immaterial may also adversely affect the Group. If any of the risks facing the Group should actually occur, individually or together with other circumstances, the business, financial position, operating results and cash flows of the Group, and the transactions described herein, could be materially and adversely affected, which may cause a decline in the value of the shares that could result in a loss of all or part of any investment in the shares. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks involved in an investment in the Company, including, but not limited to, those discussed below. Prospective investors should consult their own legal, tax and financial advisors as to all of these risks and an investment in the Company. The order in which the risks are presented below is not intended to provide an indication of the likelihood of their occurrence nor of their severity or significance. These risks should also be considered in connection with the Important Information on pages 2 and 3. Risks relating to the industry in which the Group operates Market conditions The Group's business, results of operations and financial condition depend on the level of exploration, development and production activity in the oil and gas industry, which is significantly affected by, among other things, volatile oil and gas prices An over-supply of drilling units or rental equipment may lead to a reduction in day rates for the MODU segment and prices for the Well Services segment, which may materially impact the Group's results of operations It may have a material adverse effect on the Group's ability to market its services if its competitors introduce new products or services with features, performance, prices or other characteristics similar to, or better than, the Group's products and services or expand into service areas where the Group operates Legal, regulatory and environmental risks Existing laws or a change of laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas industry could hinder or delay the Group's operations, increase the Group's operating costs, reduce demand for its services and/or restrict the Group's ability to provide its services or operate its drilling units The Group may be subject to contractual environmental liability and liability under environmental laws and regulations, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations and financial condition The laws and regulations concerning import activity, export recordkeeping and reporting, export control and economic sanctions are complex and constantly changing, and a failure to comply with these complex laws and regulations could adversely affect the Group's operations Operational and country risks The Group's business involves numerous operating hazards and if a significant accident or other event occurs it could materially adversely affect the Group's results of operations, cash flows and financial condition No assurance can be made that the Group has, or will be able to maintain in the future, adequate insurance or indemnity against certain risks, and there is no assurance that such insurance or indemnification agreements will adequately protect the Group if a significant accident or other event occurs The Group's business segments operate in various jurisdictions, thereby exposing the Group to risks inherent in international operations and subjecting the Group to compliance with the laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which it operates Physical infrastructure and logistics systems, such as roads, air transport facilities and lines of communication, in certain areas of the world may be under-developed and may not have been adequately funded and maintained, which may have an effect on the efficiency and safety of the Group's operations in these regions and may increase the costs of doing business Doing business in international developing markets brings with it inherent risks associated with enforcement of obligations, fraud, bribery and corruption and it may not be possible for the Group to detect or prevent every instance of fraud, bribery and corruption in every jurisdiction in which its employees, agents, sub-contractors or joint venture partners are located The Group has conducted and may in the future conduct business in certain jurisdictions that are subject to US trade embargoes and sanctions by the US Office of Foreign Assets Control, including countries which have been designated by the US government as state sponsors of terrorism, and may conduct business in jurisdictions that are subject to analogous Norwegian and European Union sanctions 36

Risk factors (2/3) Risks relating to the industry in which the Group operates Backlog does not provide a precise indication of the time period over which the Group is contractually entitled to receive such revenues and there is no assurance that such revenue will be actually realised in the timeframes anticipated or at all The Group's clients may have the right to terminate their contracts without cause in compliance with applicable notice periods and, under certain circumstances, the Group's contracts may permit a client to terminate its contract early without the payment of any termination fee, as a result of non-performance, delay, quality of deliverables or force majeure events The Group's future business performance depends on its ability to renew and extend existing contracts, and to win new contracts Unforeseen or unanticipated risks, costs or timing when bidding on or managing contracts could adversely affect the Group's business, results of operations and financial condition Risks relating to operations The Group's results of operations and cash flows, and in particular the MODU segment and the Platform Drilling business area, could be materially adversely affected if any of its major clients fail to compensate the Group, terminates their contracts, fail to renew existing contracts, fail to exercise options, or refuse to award new contracts to the Group and the Group is unable to enter into contracts with new clients at comparable day rates The Group's operating and maintenance costs will not necessarily fluctuate in proportion to changes in operating revenues All future newbuild construction projects will be subject to risks of delay, quality issues, damage to personnel, equipment and environment, or cost overruns inherent in any large construction project due to numerous factors which could cause delays or cost overruns and have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operation, cash flows and financial condition The Group must maintain and repair its drilling units, including maintaining the classification of the drilling units, which may lead to increased costs and loss of income Disruptions of deliveries by the Group's suppliers could increase operating costs, decrease revenues and adversely impact the Group's operations. In addition, consolidation of suppliers may limit the Group's ability to obtain supplies and services when needed at an acceptable cost or at all The Group relies on third parties, including subcontractors, to complete some parts of its projects and may be adversely affected by the sub-standard performance or non-performance of those third party subcontractors The Group's purchase of existing drilling units, spare parts and equipment carries risks associated with the quality of such assets The Group may not be able to successfully implement its strategies and any failures, material delays or unexpected costs related to the implementation of the Group's strategies could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, cash flow and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the Group will be able to secure favourable growth opportunities (or such opportunities at all) for the proceeds from the Private Placement Loss of key personnel or the failure to obtain or retain highly skilled personnel could materially adversely affect the Group's operations Labour interruptions could have a material adverse effect on the Group's operations The Group's labour costs and related operating costs could increase as a result of a number of factors, such as high growth within the industry which may increase the cost of qualified personnel and equipment Any circumstances that publicly damage the Group's goodwill, injur the Group's reputation or damage the Group's business relationships may lead to a broader adverse effect on its business and prospects than solely the monetary liability arising directly from the damaging events by way of loss of business, goodwill, clients, joint venture partners and employees. The Group relies on information technology systems to communicate with its drilling units and conduct its business, and disruption, failure or security breaches of these systems could adversely affect its business and results of operations The market for the Group's services is affected by significant technological developments and the Group may not be able to keep pace with a significant step change in technological development Policies, procedures and systems to safeguard employee health, safety and security may not be adequate or sufficiently implemented or adhered to Risks relating to laws, regulation and litigation The Group may be subject to litigation that could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition Technology disputes involving the Group, the Group's suppliers or sub-suppliers could impact the Group's operations The Group is exposed to risk due to its use of certain trademarks such as the "Odfjell" name A change in tax laws of any country in which the Group operates from time to time, or complex tax laws associated with international operations which the Group may undertake from time to time, could result in a higher tax expense or a higher effective tax rate on the Group's earnings 37

Risk factors (3/3) A loss of a major tax dispute or a successful tax challenge to the Group's operating structure or to the Group's tax payments, among other things, could result in a higher tax rate on the Group's earnings, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's earnings and cash flows Risks related to financing and market risk In order to execute the Group's growth strategy, the Group may require additional capital in the future, which may not be available (including the financing of Ex. Stena MidMax, if applicable) and there can be no assurance that such financing is secured The Group's existing or future debt arrangements as well as the preference shares and warrants instruments of Akastor AS or affiliate if the Group should decide to proceed with the acquisition of Ex. Stena MidMax, could limit the Group's liquidity and flexibility in obtaining additional financing, in pursuing other business opportunities or the Company's ability to declare dividends to its shareholders If the Group is unable to comply with the restrictions and the financial covenants in the agreements governing its indebtedness, there could be a default under the terms of these agreements, which could result in an acceleration of repayment of funds that have been borrowed The Group is exposed to interest rate risk, primarily in relation to its long-term borrowings issued at floating interest rates, and interest rate fluctuations could affect the Group's cash flow and financial condition The Group has currency exposure to both transaction risk and translation risk and fluctuations in exchange rates and non-convertibility of expenses could result in financial losses for the Group Risks related to Group structure The Group currently conducts its operations through, and most of the Group's assets are owned by, the Group's subsidiaries and the Company is therefore dependent upon cash flow from subsidiaries to meet its obligations and in order to pay dividends to its shareholders The Group's financial condition may be materially adversely affected if the Group fails to successfully integrate acquired assets or businesses, or is unable to obtain financing for acquisitions on acceptable terms The Group has provided certain representations, warranties and indemnities in connection with the businesses it has sold and may, as a result, be subject to the risk of liability for breach of representations and warranties and/or indemnity obligations in favour of the respective buyers The market value of the drilling units and rental equipment and/or those the Group may acquire in the future may decrease, which could cause the Group to incur losses due to impairment of book values or if it decides to sell assets Risks relating to the shares The market value of the shares may fluctuate significantly, which could cause investors to lose a significant part of their investment Odfjell Partners Ltd. has significant voting power and the ability to influence matters requiring shareholder approval Future sales, or the possibility for future sales, of substantial numbers of shares may affect the shares' market price Future issuances of shares or other securities may dilute the holdings of shareholders and could materially affect the price of the shares Exchange rate fluctuations could adversely affect the value of the shares and any dividends paid on the shares for an investor whose principal currency is not NOK Investors may not be able to exercise their voting rights for shares registered in a nominee account The transfer of shares is subject to restrictions under the securities laws of the United States and other jurisdictions Pursuant to the Company's dividend policy, dividends are only expected to be paid if certain conditions are fulfilled and the Company may be unwilling or unable to pay any dividends in the future Prior to the Private Placement, approximately 71.5% of the issued and outstanding share capital is held by Odfjell Partners Ltd., which may have a negative impact on the liquidity of the shares and result in a low trading volume of the shares, which again could have an adverse effect on the then prevailing market price for the shares Eligible shareholders who do not participate in the Private Placement or the subsequent offering may experience significant dilution in their direct or indirect shareholding in the Company and there can be no assurance that shareholders participating will maintain their relative ownership in the Company Any default under the Company's preference shares and warrant agreements if issued may have a material adverse effect on the Group Risks related to the Company's incorporation in Bermuda Investors in the United States may have difficulty enforcing any judgment obtained in the United States against the Company or its directors or executive officers The Company's Bye-Laws contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire the Company without the consent of the Board of Directors Various conditions may cause an adverse tax effect for the shareholder if the Company pays dividends 38
