I am the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Valaris plc, a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales and one of the above-captioned debtors and debtors in possession. Valaris plc is the parent company of the above-captioned debtors and debtors in possession (collectively, the “Debtors” and, together with Valaris plc’s direct and indirect non-Debtor subsidiaries, “Valaris” or the “Company”). I have served as Chief Financial Officer of Valaris plc or its predecessor since November 2015 and as Executive Vice President of Valaris plc since June 2019. Introduction 2. Valaris commenced these chapter 11 cases to equitize all of its $7.1 billion of funded debt. Shortly before the Petition Date, the Debtors signed a restructuring support agreement with their unsecured bondholder group that provides for that deleveraging transaction. 1 A complete list of each of the Debtors in these chapter 11 cases may be obtained on the website of the Debtors’ proposed claims and noticing agent at http://cases.stretto.com/Valaris. The location of Debtor Ensco Incorporated’s principal place of business and the Debtors’ service address in these chapter 11 cases is 5847 San Felipe Street, Suite 3300, Houston, Texas 77057. CaseCase 20-34114 20-34114 Document Document 105-1 23 Filed Filed in in TXSB TXSB on on 08/19/20 08/23/20 Page Page 2 2of of 302 302 The agreement also includes a commitment for a $500 million DIP facility and a 12-month commitment for a $500 million exit financing. The DIP has a 12-month maturity, no milestones, and no cross default on account of a termination of the restructuring support agreement. The exit financing has a seven-year maturity and an option to pay interest in kind. Upon consummation of these restructuring transactions, the Debtors will have one of the best balance sheets in the offshore drilling industry. I. Company Overview. 3. Valaris—the result of a merger between Ensco plc and Rowan Companies plc in April 2019—is a leading provider of offshore drilling services. The Company, which currently operates the industry’s largest modern offshore drilling fleet, maintains drilling operations in nearly every major offshore market and has been recognized in industry surveys for its operational excellence and customer satisfaction. Despite the recent difficult world and industry events, Valaris has maintained its focus on operational excellence and its relationships with customers and stakeholders. 4. Last spring, global events forced the Debtors to quickly reevaluate their financial position and immediate next steps. The economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic took its toll with daily demand for global oil dropping approximately 18 million barrels a day or 18% per the International Energy Agency, while supply continued to increase as a result of a dispute between the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and Russia. As a result, the Company’s customers have significantly reduced their planned capital expenditures, with many seeking to cancel or defer projects, which has led to terminations or renegotiations of several existing contracts. Since the beginning of March 2020, approximately ten existing contracts have been canceled, and the Debtors have agreed to modify several others. 2 CaseCase 20-34114 20-34114 Document Document 105-1 23 Filed Filed in in TXSB TXSB on on 08/19/20 08/23/20 Page Page 3 3of of 302 302 5. At the beginning of this year, the Debtors did not expect to be filing for chapter 11. The Debtors began 2020 with approximately $1.6 billion of undrawn capacity under their revolving credit facility, which was anticipated to provide sufficient liquidity to fund the Debtors’ operations for the foreseeable future. Moreover, the Debtors had financial flexibility to address their capital structure pursuant to the terms of their debt documents. In late 2019 and early 2020, the Debtors engaged advisors—including Kirkland & Ellis LLP and Slaughter and May as US and UK counsel and Lazard Frères & Co. LLC (“Lazard”) as investment banker—to consider out-of-court liability management transactions to reduce leverage and capture discount. 6. COVID-19, however, shifted the economic landscape for the Debtors. Ultimately, it became clear that the Debtors’ leverage was unsustainable in this new environment. As of the Petition Date, the Debtors have approximately $7.1 billion of funded debt. This includes: • approximately $581.0 million outstanding under an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which is guaranteed by a number of the Company’s rig-owning subsidiaries; and • approximately $6.5 billion outstanding under 15 series of unsecured senior notes (the “Senior Notes”), which are not guaranteed by the Company’s rig-owning subsidiaries. 7. Certain series of the Senior Notes are guaranteed by non-rig-owning subsidiaries of the Debtors, and others have purported litigation claims unique to their series. Before the Petition Date, certain bonds formerly issued by Rowan plc were assumed by Valaris in connection with the Rowan Merger. Certain holders of those bonds directed the purported indenture trustee to sue certain of the Debtors and their directors in connection with those transactions (the “Rowan Bondholder Litigation”). The Rowan Bondholder Litigation was commenced in Harris County District Court in Houston, Texas on March 19, 2020 and will be stayed pursuant to the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement. 3 CaseCase 20-34114 20-34114 Document Document 105-1 23 Filed Filed in in TXSB TXSB on on 08/19/20 08/23/20 Page Page 4 4of of 302 302 II.

    Empirical Inference of Related Trading Between Two Securities: Detecting Pairs Trading, Merger Arbitrage, and Strategy Rules*

    Empirical inference of related trading between two securities: Detecting pairs trading, merger arbitrage, and strategy rules* Keith Godfrey The University of Western Australia Working paper: 5 September 2013 The traditional approach to studying pairs trading is to simulate profitability using ex-post historical prices. I study the actual trades reported anonymously in security pairs and build statistical inferences of related trading. The approach is based on the time differences between trades. It can distinguish intrinsically related securities from pseudo-random sets, find stocks involved in merger arbitrage in massive sets of paired index constituents, and infer dominant trading rules of mean reversion algorithms. Empirical inference of related trading can enable further studies into pairs trading, strategy rules, merger arbitrage, and insider trading. Keywords: Inferred trading, empirical inference, pairs trading, merger arbitrage. JEL Classification Codes: G00, G10, C10, C40, C60 The availability of intraday trading or “tick” data with time resolution of a millisecond or finer is opening many avenues of research into financial markets. Analysis of two or more streams of tick data concurrently is becoming increasingly important in the study of multiple-security trading including index tracking, pairs trading, merger arbitrage, and market-neutral strategies. One of the greatest challenges in empirical trading research is the anonymity of reported trades. Securities exchanges report the dates, times, prices, and volumes traded, without identifying the traders. In studies of a single security, this introduces uncertainty of whether each market order that caused a trade was the buy or sell order, and there are documented approaches of inference such as Lee and Ready (1991).

    Preparing for Carbon Pricing: Case Studies from Company Experience

    TECHNICAL NOTE 9 | JANUARY 2015 Preparing for Carbon Pricing Case Studies from Company Experience: Royal Dutch Shell, Rio Tinto, and Pacific Gas and Electric Company Acknowledgments and Methodology This Technical Note was prepared for the PMR Secretariat by Janet Peace, Tim Juliani, Anthony Mansell, and Jason Ye (Center for Climate and Energy Solutions—C2ES), with input and supervision from Pierre Guigon and Sarah Moyer (PMR Secretariat). The note comprises case studies with three companies: Royal Dutch Shell, Rio Tinto, and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). All three have operated in jurisdictions where carbon emissions are regulated. This note captures their experiences and lessons learned preparing for and operating under policies that price carbon emissions. The following information sources were used during the research for these case studies: 1. Interviews conducted between February and October 2014 with current and former employees who had first-hand knowledge of these companies’ activities related to preparing for and operating under carbon pricing regulation. 2. Publicly available resources, including corporate sustainability reports, annual reports, and Carbon Disclosure Project responses. 3. Internal company review of the draft case studies. 4. C2ES’s history of engagement with corporations on carbon pricing policies. Early insights from this research were presented at a business-government dialogue co-hosted by the PMR, the International Finance Corporation, and the Business-PMR of the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA) in Cologne, Germany, in May 2014. Feedback from that event has also been incorporated into the final version. We would like to acknowledge experts at Royal Dutch Shell, Rio Tinto, and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E)—among whom Laurel Green, David Hone, Sue Lacey and Neil Marshman—for their collaboration and for sharing insights during the preparation of the report.

The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus BP P. L. C. ET AL. v. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF BALTIMORE CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 19–1189. Argued January 19, 2021—Decided May 17, 2021 Baltimore’s Mayor and City Council (collectively City) sued various en- ergy companies in Maryland state court alleging that the companies concealed the environmental impacts of the fossil fuels they promoted. The defendant companies removed the case to federal court invoking a number of grounds for federal jurisdiction, including the federal officer removal statute, 28 U. S. C. §1442. The City argued that none of the defendants’ various grounds for removal justified retaining federal ju- risdiction, and the district court agreed, issuing an order remanding the case back to state court. Although an order remanding a case to state court is ordinarily unreviewable on appeal, Congress has deter- mined that appellate review is available for those orders “remanding a case to the State court from which it was removed pursuant to section 1442 or 1443 of [Title 28].” §1447(d). The Fourth Circuit read this provision to authorize appellate review only for the part of a remand order deciding the §1442 or §1443 removal ground.
