Nabors Industries Ltd. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 General

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” or “Nabors” mean Nabors Industries Ltd., together with our subsidiaries where the context requires. References in this report to “Nabors Delaware” mean Nabors Industries, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Nabors.

Our business is comprised of our global land-based and offshore drilling rig operations and other rig related services and technologies. These services and technologies include tubular running services, wellbore placement solutions, directional drilling, measurement-while-drilling (“MWD”), logging-while-drilling (“LWD”) systems and services, equipment manufacturing, rig instrumentation and drilling optimization software.

With operations in ~~approximately 20~~over 15 countries, we are a global provider of drilling and drilling-related services for land-based and offshore oil and natural gas wells, with a fleet of rigs and drilling-related equipment which, as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 included:

●

~~354~~301 actively marketed rigs for land-based drilling operations in the United States ~~Canada~~ and ~~approximately 14 other~~various countries throughout the world; and

●

29 actively marketed rigs for offshore platform drilling operations in the United States and multiple international markets.

The short- and long-term implications of the military hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, which began in early 2022, are difficult to predict at this time. We continue to actively monitor this dynamic situation and will fulfill any existing obligations in full compliance with applicable international laws and sanctions. As of June 30, 2022, 1.2% of our property, plant and equipment, net was located in Russia. For the six months ending June 30, 2022, 1.6% of our operating revenues was from operations in Russia.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Nabors have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”), certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted. Therefore, these financial statements should be read together with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 (“~~2020~~2021 Annual Report”). In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly our financial position as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and the results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and changes in equity for the periods presented herein. Interim results for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 may not be indicative of results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

Principles of Consolidation

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nabors, as well as all majority owned and non-majority owned subsidiaries consolidated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

In addition to the consolidation of our majority owned subsidiaries, we also consolidate variable interest entities (“VIE”) when we are determined to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE is based on whether an entity has ~~(1)~~(a) the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and ~~(2)~~(b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Our joint venture, SANAD, which is equally owned by Saudi Aramco and Nabors,

Table of Contents

has been consolidated. As we have the power to direct activities that most significantly impact SANAD’s economic performance, including operations, maintenance and certain sourcing and procurement, we have determined Nabors to be the primary beneficiary. See Note 3—Joint Ventures.

~~Table~~Reclassification of ~~Contents~~Prior Year Presentation

Special Purpose Acquisition Company

Nabors Energy Transition Corp. (“NETC”) is a consolidated VIE that is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements under the following captions:

Restricted cash held in trust

As part of the initial public offering of NETC and subsequent private placement warrant transactions, $281.5 million has been deposited in an interest-bearing U.S. based trust account (“Trust Account”). The funds held in the Trust Account are invested in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.

Redeemable noncontrolling interest in subsidiary

The company accounts for the non-controlling interest in NETC as subject to possible redemption in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” NETC’s common stock features certain redemption rights, which are considered to be outside the company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, the $281.5 million of non-controlling interest subject to possible redemption is presented at full redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022.

Nabors will recognize any future changes in redemption value immediately as they occur – i.e., adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to its current redemption amount at each reporting period.

We will revise our condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the three months ended March 31, 2022, in future filings to correctly reflect the cumulative effect of this change as of January 1, 2022.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes certain exceptions for intraperiod allocations and interim tax calculations and adds guidance to simplify accounting for income taxes. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 Joint Ventures

During 2016, we entered into an agreement with Saudi Aramco to form a joint venture known as SANAD to own, manage and operate onshore drilling rigs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. SANAD is equally owned by Saudi Aramco and Nabors.

During 2017, Nabors and Saudi Aramco each contributed $20 million in cash for the purpose of capitalizing the joint venture upon formation. In addition, since inception Nabors and Saudi Aramco have each contributed a combination of drilling rigs, drilling rig equipment and other assets, including cash, each with a value of approximately $394 million to the joint venture. The contributions were received in exchange for redeemable ownership interests which accrue interest annually, have a twenty-five year maturity and are required to be converted to authorized capital should certain events occur, including the accumulation of specified losses. In the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, Nabors has reported Saudi Aramco’s share of authorized capital as a component of noncontrolling interest in equity and Saudi Aramco’s share of the redeemable ownership interests as redeemable noncontrolling interest in subsidiary, classified as mezzanine equity. As of June 30, 2022, the amount included in redeemable noncontrolling interest was $398.9 million. The accrued interest on the redeemable ownership interest is a non-cash financing activity and is reported as an increase in the redeemable noncontrolling interest in subsidiary line in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. In ~~January~~ 2021, SANAD settled approximately ~~$100~~$120 million of the accrued interest from inception to December ~~31, 2020,~~2021, by making a cash ~~payment~~payments to each partner for their respective amounts. The assets and liabilities included in the condensed balance sheet below are ~~(1)~~(a) assets that can either be used to settle obligations of the VIE or be made available in the future to the equity owners through dividends, distributions or in exchange of the redeemable ownership interests (upon mutual agreement of the owners) or ~~(2)~~(b) liabilities for which creditors do not have recourse to other assets of Nabors.

During the period of this program, cash receipts from the Purchasers at the time of the sale ~~were~~are classified as operating activities in our consolidated statement of cash ~~flows.~~flows and the associated receivables are derecognized from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at the time of the sale. The remaining receivables held by the SPE were pledged to secure the collectability of the sold Eligible Receivables. Subsequent collections on the pledged receivables, which ~~were~~have not been sold, will be classified as operating cash flows in our consolidated statement of cash flows at the time of collection. The amount of receivables pledged as collateral as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is approximately $63.3 million and $44.2 million, respectively.

OnIn July ~~13,~~ 2021, we entered into the First Amendment to the ~~Receivables~~A/R Purchase Agreement (the “First Amendment”), which reduced the commitments of the third-party financial institutions (the “Purchasers”) from $250 million to $150 million and extended the term of the agreements by two years, to August 13, 2023.

~~Nabors Delaware and/~~or ~~another subsidiary of Nabors act as servicers~~more of the sold receivables. The servicers administer, collect and otherwise enforce these receivables and are compensated for doing so on terms that are generally consistent with what would be charged by an unrelated servicer. The servicers initially receive payments made by obligors on the receivables, then remit those payments in accordance with the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The servicers and the Originators have contingent indemnification obligations to the SPE, and the SPE has contingent indemnification obligations to the Purchasers, in each case customary for transactions of this type. These contingent indemnification obligations are guaranteed by the Company pursuant to an Indemnification Guarantee in favoroutstanding aggregate principal amount of the ~~Purchasers.

The fair value of the sold receivables approximated book value due to the short-term nature of the receivables and, as a result, 0 gain or loss on the sale of the receivables was recorded. Trade receivables pledged by the SPE as collateral to the Purchasers (excluding receivables sold to the Purchasers) totaled $40.9 million and $63.1 million as of June 30,

Exchange Transactions

During the first quarter of 2021, we entered into ~~two~~2 private exchange transactions in which Nabors Delaware exchanged 9.0% ~~Senior Priority Guaranteed Notes~~senior priority guaranteed notes due 2025 (the “9.0% Exchange Notes”) for various amounts of existing outstanding notes. Nabors Delaware did not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the Exchange Notes.

Collectively from the series of exchanges, Nabors ~~Industries, Inc.~~Delaware issued ~~$26.1~~$26.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 9.0% Exchange Notes in exchange for $40.0 million aggregate principal amount of various ~~Nabors Delaware’s outstanding~~ Notes.

We recorded a minimal gain in connection with the exchange transactions, which was accounted for in accordance with ASC 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructuring by Debtors. Under ASC 470-60, a gain is recorded in an amount equal to the sum of the future undiscounted payments (principal and interest) related to the new Exchange Notes plus the costs incurred in connection with the transaction, less the carrying value of the notes that were exchanged. In relation to the transactions, we recorded $9.4 million related to future contractual interest payments on the new Exchange Notes and have included this amount in accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities.

0.75% Senior Exchangeable Notes Due January 2024

In January 2017, Nabors Delaware issued $575.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.75% exchangeable senior unsecured notes due 2024, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Nabors. The notes bear interest at a rate of 0.75% per year payable semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2017. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was approximately $177.0 million and $287.3 million in aggregate principal amount that remained ~~outstanding.~~outstanding, respectively.

The exchangeable notes are currently exchangeable, under certain conditions, at an exchange rate of .8018 common shares of Nabors per $1,000 principal amount of exchangeable notes (equivalent to an exchange price of approximately $1,247.19 per common share). The exchangeable notes were originally bifurcated for accounting purposes into debt and equity components of $411.2 million and $163.8 million, respectively, based on the terms of the notes and the relative fair value at the issuance date. Upon any exchange, as a result of an amendment to the notes, Nabors Delaware will settle its exchange obligation in cash. The exchangeable notes were originally bifurcated for accounting purposes into debt and equity components of $411.2 million and $163.8 million, respectively, based on the terms of the notes and the relative fair value at the issuance date. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2022 resulted in a pre-tax adjustment of $27.5 million to eliminate the remaining unamortized debt discount.

2018 Revolving Credit Facility

In October 2018, Nabors Delaware and Nabors Drilling Canada Limited (“Nabors Canada” and together with Nabors Delaware, the “Borrowers”) entered into a credit agreement dated October 11, 2018 by and among the Borrowers, the ~~Guarantors~~guarantors identified therein, HSBC Bank Canada, as the Canadian lender, ~~(the “Canadian Lender”)~~ the issuing banks and other lenders party thereto (the ~~“US~~“U.S. Lenders” ~~and, together with the Canadian Lender, the “Lenders”~~) and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent solely for the U.S. Lenders (as ~~may be~~ amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “2018 Revolving Credit Facility”). ~~The 2018 Revolving Credit Facility originally had a borrowing capacity~~As of $1.267 billion and is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Nabors and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries. The 2018 Revolving Credit Facility matures at the earlier of (a) October 11, 2023 and (b) July 19,January 21, 2022, ~~if any of Nabors Delaware’s existing 5.50% senior notes due January 2023 remain~~we repaid all amounts outstanding ~~as of such date.

On December 13, 2019, Amendment No. 2 was entered into which reduced the borrowing capacity to $1.0136 billion ($981.6 million for Nabors Delaware and $32.0 million for Nabors Canada), and replaced the net funded debt to capitalization covenant with a covenant to maintain net funded indebtedness at no greater than 5.5 times EBITDA. Amendment No. 3 to the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility was ~~entered into on March 3, 2020, in order to permit letters of credit from the Canadian Lender on the portion of the facility dedicated to Canadian borrowings.~~terminated.

In September 2020, Amendment No. 4 was entered into in order to revise certain of the covenant and collateral requirements under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. Amendment No. 4 provides the Lenders with a first lien security interest in certain drilling rigs located in the U.S. and Canada and replaced the prior covenant to maintain net funded debt at no greater than 5.5 times EBITDA with a new covenant to maintain minimum liquidity of no less than $160.0 million at any time. Minimum liquidity is defined to mean, generally, a consolidated cash balance consisting of (a) the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents maintained in a deposit account U.S. or Canadian branch of a commercial bank, plus (b) the lesser of $75 million or an amount equal to 75% of the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents held in deposit account of a commercial bank outside of the U.S. or Canada, plus (c) available commitments under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. Additionally, the “asset to debt coverage” ratio was revised such that during any period in which Nabors Delaware fails to maintain an investment grade rating from at least two ratings agencies, the guarantors under the facility and their respective subsidiaries will be required to maintain an asset to debt coverage of at least 4.25:1, which was the case as of the date of this report. On July 29, 2021, in connection with the closing of the sale of substantially all of our Canada Drilling assets, we entered into a Canadian Amending Agreement with the Canadian Lender under which we repaid all outstanding loans owed to the Canadian Lender under

2022 Credit Agreement

On January 21, 2022, Nabors Delaware entered into a revolving credit agreement between Nabors Delaware, the ~~2018 Revolving~~guarantors from time to time party thereto, the issuing banks (the “Issuing Banks”) and other lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “2022 Credit ~~Facility,~~Agreement”). Under the ~~first lien security~~2022 Credit Agreement, the Lenders have committed to provide to Nabors Delaware up to an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $350.0 million (with an accordion feature for an additional $100.0 million) under a secured revolving credit facility, including sub-facilities provided by certain of the Lenders for letters of credit in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $100.0 million.

The 2022 Credit Agreement permits the incurrence of additional indebtedness secured by liens, which may include liens on the collateral securing the facility, in an amount up to $150.0 million as well as a grower basket for term loans in an amount not to exceed $100.0 million secured by liens not on the collateral. The Company is required to maintain an interest coverage ratio (EBITDA/interest expense), which increases on a quarterly basis, 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) January 21, 2026 and (b) (i) to the extent any principal amount of Nabors Delaware’s existing 5.1% senior notes due 2023, 5.5% senior notes due 2023 and 5.75% senior notes due 2025 remains outstanding on the date that is 90 days prior to the applicable maturity date for such indebtedness, then such 90^th day or (ii) to the extent 50% or more of the outstanding (as of the closing date) aggregate principal amount of the 0.75% senior exchangeable notes due 2024 remains outstanding and not refinanced or defeased on the date that is 90 days prior to the maturity date for such indebtedness, then such 90th day.

Additionally, the Company is subject to certain 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 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 ~~Canada assets was released and~~agreement. This requirement includes an independent appraisal report to be delivered every 6 months following the ~~commitments of the Canadian Lender under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility were terminated.~~

As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we had ~~$557.5 million~~0 borrowings outstanding under our ~~2018 Revolving~~2022 Credit ~~Facility and the net book value of the collateralized assets under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility was $1.26 billion.~~Agreement.

As of the date of this report, we were in compliance with all covenants under the ~~2018 Revolving~~2022 Credit ~~Facility.~~Agreement. We expect to remain in compliance with all covenants under the ~~2018 Revolving~~2022 Credit ~~Facility~~Agreement during the ~~twelve-month~~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.

Note 6 Shareholders’ Equity

Common shares

~~At a special meeting of shareholders held April 20, 2020, our shareholders authorized a combination of our common~~On July 19, 2021, we issued 147,974 shares, ~~(the “Reverse Stock Split”)~~valued at ~~a ratio of not less than 1-for-15 and not greater than 1-for-50,~~approximately $12.9 million, in connection with the ~~exact ratio to be set within that range at the sole direction~~purchase of our Board of Directors (the “Board”). On April 20, 2020, the Board set the Reverse Stock Split ratio at 1-for-50. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, 50 pre-reverse split common shares automatically combined into one new common share, without any action on the part of the shareholders. Nabors’ authorized number of common shares were also proportionally decreased from 800,000,000 to 16,000,000 ~~common shares.

Common stock warrants

On May 27, 2021, the Board declared a distribution ~~to holders of the Company’s common shares~~ of warrants to purchase its common shares (the “Warrants”). to holders of the Company’s common shares. Holders of Nabors common shares received two-fifths of a warrant per common share held as of the record date (rounded down for any fractional warrant). Nabors issued approximately ~~3,236,430~~3.2

~~warrants~~Table of Contents

million Warrants on June 11, 2021 to shareholders of record as of June 4, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, 2.5 million Warrants remain outstanding and 1.1 million common shares have been issued as a result of exercises of Warrants.

Each Warrant represents the right to purchase 1 common share at an initial exercise price of $166.66667 per Warrant, subject to certain adjustments (the “Exercise Price”). In addition, Warrants submitted for exercise prior to April 25, 2022 may behave been eligible to receive an additional one-third common share due to the incentive share component. The incentive share iswas an extra amount of common shares that Nabors ~~will~~would award when the volume weighted average price of Nabors’ common shares on the day before any Warrant holder exercises its Warrants multiplied by 3 iswas at least 6% higher than the sum of the volume weighted average prices of Nabors’ common shares on each of the second, third and fourth days before any Warrant holder ~~exercises~~exercised its Warrants. Effective as of April 25, 2022, Warrant holders were no longer entitled to receive any incentive shares when exercising the Warrants. Payment for common shares on exercise of Warrants may be in ~~(i)~~(a) cash or ~~(ii)~~(b)“Designated Notes,” which the Company initially ~~defines~~defined as ~~(a)~~(x) Nabors Delaware’s (i) 5.10% Notes due 2023, (ii) 0.75% Exchangeable Notes due 2024, (iii) 5.75% Notes due 2025 and ~~(b)~~(y) the Company’s 7.25% Notes due 2026, subject to compliance with applicable procedures with respect to the delivery of the Warrants and Designated Notes. Effective March 21, 2022, the 0.75% Exchangeable Notes due 2024 were removed from the list of Designated Notes. The Exercise Price and the number of common shares issuable upon exercise are subject to anti-dilution adjustments, including for share dividends, splits, subdivisions, spin-offs, consolidations, reclassifications, combinations, noncash distributions, cash dividends (other than regular quarterly cash dividends not exceeding a permitted threshold amount), certain pro rata shares repurchases, and similar transactions, including certain issuances of common shares (or securities

exercisable or convertible into or exchangeable for common shares) at a price (or having a conversion price) that is less than 95% of the market price of the common shares. The Warrants expire on June 11, 2026, but the expiration date may be accelerated at any time by the Company upon 20-days’ prior notice. The Company has listed the Warrants on the over-the-counter market.

The ~~common stock warrants~~Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the ~~warrant~~Warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of the Warrants was initially measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo pricing model ~~and subsequently,~~ due to the level of market activity. As of June 30, 2022, the fair value of the Warrants ~~have been estimated~~was measured using ~~a Monte Carlo pricing model at each measurement date.~~their trading price. At distribution, the fair value of the Warrants was $2.7 million. AtOn June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the fair value of the Warrants was approximately $~~1.0~~78.7 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, approximately $23.8 million and ~~$1.7~~$97.0 million of ~~gain was~~loss has been recognized ~~during Q2~~ for the ~~decrease~~increase in ~~liability.~~

~~Convertible Preferred Shares~~

~~During 2018, we issued 5.75 million~~liability and included in Other, net in our consolidated statements of ~~our 6% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Shares (the “mandatory convertible preferred shares”)~~income (loss), par value $0.001 per share, with a liquidation preference of $50 per share. As of December 31, 2020, we had 4.9 million mandatory convertible preferred shares outstanding. The mandatory convertible preferred shares automatically converted into common shares on May 3, 2021 at which time approximately 668,000 common shares were issued.

~~Shareholder Rights Plan~~

On May 5, 2020, our Board adopted a shareholder rights plan and declared a dividend of 1 right (a “Right”) for each outstanding common share to shareholders of record on May 15, 2020. Each Right entitles the holder to purchase from Nabors ~~one~~ ~~one-thousandth of a Series B Junior Participating Preferred Share, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Shares’), of Nabors at a price of $58.08 per~~ ~~one~~ one-thousandth of a Series B Preferred Share, subject to adjustment. The description of the Rights is set forth in a Rights Agreement, dated May 5, 2020 (the “Rights Agreement”), by and between Nabors and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent. The Rights expired on April 30, 2021.

Initially, the Rights were not be exercisable and would trade with our common shares. Under the Rights Agreement, the Rights would become exercisable only if a person or group or persons acting together (each, an “acquiring person”) acquires beneficial ownership of 4.9% or more of our outstanding common shares. The Rights Agreement was amended on May 27, 2020, to permit the shareholder identified therein, together with affiliates and associates, to beneficially own up to 10% of our outstanding common shares.

If the Rights were triggered, each holder of a Right (other than the acquiring person, whose Rights would become void) would be entitled to purchase additional shares of our common stock at a 50% discount. In addition, if we were acquired in a merger or other business combination after an Acquiring Person acquired more than 4.9% of our outstanding common shares (10% for the shareholder identified in the amendment), each holder of a Right would then be entitled to purchase shares of the acquiring company’s stock at a 50% discount. Our Board, at its option, could exchange each Right (other than Rights owned by the acquiring person that have become void) in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of 1 common share per outstanding Right, subject to adjustment. Except as provided in the Rights Agreement, our Board was entitled to redeem the Rights at $0.01 per Right.

A person or group of persons that beneficially owned our common shares at or above the trigger threshold as of the time of the public announcement of the Rights Agreement generally would not trigger the Rights until such person or group of persons increases its ownership by 0.5% or more.respectively.

Note 7 Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market-corroborated, or generally unobservable. We primarily apply the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavor to utilize the best information available. Accordingly, we employ valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

~~Table of Contents~~

The use of unobservable inputs is intended to allow for fair value determinations in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. We are able to classify fair value balances utilizing a fair value hierarchy based on the observability of those inputs.

Under the fair value hierarchy:

●

Level 1 measurements include unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market;

●

Level 2 measurements include quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that have been adjusted for items such as effects of restrictions for transferability and those that are not quoted but are observable through corroboration with observable market data, including quoted market prices for similar assets; and

Table of Contents

●

Level 3 measurements include those that are unobservable and of a subjective nature.

Our financial liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2022 consisted of the Warrants. During the first quarter of 2022, the Warrants transferred from using Level 3 inputs to Level 1 measurements due to increased trading volume. As of June 30, 2022, the Warrants were carried at fair market value and totaled $78.7 million.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of the ~~common stock warrants~~Warrants was initially measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo option pricing ~~model and subsequently,~~model. As of December 31, 2021, the ~~fair value of the warrants have been estimated using the Monte Carlo pricing model for each measurement date. The~~ estimated fair value of the ~~warrants is~~Warrants was determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in the option pricing simulation are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate. The Company estimates the volatility of ~~its common stock warrants~~the Warrants based on implied and historical volatility of the company’s traded common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the ~~warrants~~Warrants is based on the Company’s ability to initiate expiration, subject to a 20 business day notice period.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

We applied fair value measurements to our nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis, which consist of measurements primarily related to assets held for sale, goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets and assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Based upon our review of the fair value hierarchy, the inputs used in these fair value measurements were considered Level 3 inputs.

~~Table of Contents~~

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We estimate the fair value of our financial instruments in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The fair value of our long-term debt and revolving credit facilities is estimated based on quoted market prices or prices quoted from third-party financial institutions. The fair value of our debt instruments is determined using Level 2 measurements. The carrying and fair values of these liabilities were as follows:

Note 8 Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

Income Tax

We operate in a number of countries and our tax returns filed in those jurisdictions are subject to review and examination by tax authorities within those jurisdictions. We do not recognize the benefit of income tax positions we believe are more likely than not to be disallowed upon challenge by a tax authority. If any tax authority successfully challenges our operational structure, intercompany pricing policies or the taxable presence of our subsidiaries in certain countries, if the terms of certain income tax treaties are interpreted in a manner that is adverse to our structure, or if we lose a material tax dispute in any country, our effective tax rate on our worldwide earnings could change substantially.

In certain jurisdictions we have recognized deferred tax assets and liabilities. Judgment and assumptions are required in determining whether deferred tax assets will be fully or partially utilized. When we estimate that all or some portion of certain deferred tax assets such as net operating loss carryforwards will not be utilized, we establish a valuation allowance for the amount we determine to be more likely than not unrealizable. We continually evaluate strategies that could allow for future utilization of our deferred assets. Any change in the ability to utilize such deferred assets will be accounted for in the period of the event affecting the valuation allowance. If facts and circumstances cause us to change our expectations regarding future tax consequences, the resulting adjustments could have a material effect on our financial results or cash flow. At this time, we consider it more likely than not that we will have sufficient taxable income in the future that will allow us to realize the deferred tax assets that we have recognized. However, it is possible that some of our recognized deferred tax assets, relating to net operating loss carryforwards, could expire unused or could carryforward indefinitely without utilization. Therefore, unless we are able to generate sufficient taxable income from our component operations, a substantial valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets may be required, which would materially increase our tax expense in the period the allowance is recognized and materially adversely affect our results of operations and statement of financial condition.

Litigation

Nabors and its subsidiaries are defendants or otherwise involved in a number of lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. We estimate the range of our liability related to pending litigation when we believe the amount and range of loss can be estimated. We record our best estimate of a loss when the loss is considered probable. When a liability is probable and there is a range of estimated loss with no best estimate in the range, we record the minimum estimated liability related to the lawsuits or claims. As additional information becomes available, we assess the potential liability related to our pending litigation and claims and revise our estimates. Due to uncertainties related to the resolution of lawsuits and claims, the ultimate outcome may differ from our estimates. For matters where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and significant, we disclose the nature of the matter and a range of potential exposure, unless an estimate cannot be made at the time of disclosure. In the opinion of management and based on liability accruals provided, our ultimate exposure with respect to these pending lawsuits and claims is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or cash flows, although they could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for a particular reporting period.

In March 2011, the Court of Ouargla entered a judgment of approximately ~~$21.0~~$19.3 million (at June 30, ~~2021~~2022 exchange rates) against us relating to alleged violations of Algeria’s foreign currency exchange controls, which require that goods and services provided locally be invoiced and paid in local currency. The case relates to certain foreign currency payments made to us by CEPSA, a Spanish operator, for wells drilled in 2006. Approximately $7.5 million of the total contract amount was paid offshore in foreign currency, and approximately $3.2 million was paid in local currency. The judgment includes fines and penalties of approximately 4four times the amount at issue. We have appealed the ruling based on our understanding that the law in question applies only to resident entities incorporated under Algerian law. An intermediate court of appeals upheld the lower court’s ruling, and we appealed the matter to the Supreme Court. On September 25, 2014, the Supreme Court overturned the verdict against us, and the case was reheard by the Ouargla Court of Appeals on March 22, 2015 in light of the Supreme Court’s opinion. On March 29, 2015, the Ouargla Court of Appeals reinstated the initial judgment against us. We appealed this decision again to the Supreme Court, ~~and~~which again overturned the ~~Court has annulled the decision of the Ouargla Court of Appeals. Accordingly, the~~appeals court’s decision. The case ~~is being sent~~was moved back to the ~~Court~~court of ~~Ouargla for further proceedings on October 10, 2021 consistent with~~appeals, which, once again, reinstated the verdict, failing to abide by the Supreme Court’s ruling. Accordingly, we are appealing once more to the Supreme Court to try to get a final ruling on the matter. While our payments were consistent with our historical operations in the

Table of Contents

country, and, we believe, those of other multinational corporations there, as well as interpretations of the law by the Central Bank of Algeria, the ultimate resolution of this matter could result in a loss of up to ~~$13.0~~$11.3 million in excess of amounts accrued.

Following a routine audit conducted in May and June of 2018 by the Atyrau Oblast Ecology Department (the “AOED”), our joint venture in Kazakhstan, KMG Nabors Drilling Company (“KNDC”), was administratively fined for not having emissions permits for KNDC owned or leased ~~equipment. Prior~~equipment, due to ~~this audit,~~a change in interpretation by the AOED ~~had always accepted the operator’s permits for all their subcontractors.

On December 10, 2021, the regional court in Atyrau Region upheld KNDC’s position and ruled in our favor. While the time for AOED to appeal has lapsed, it is possible that the General Prosecutor or the Supreme Court’s Chairman can attempt to begin a review, although that has not yet happened. The same legal status applies for AOED’s appeal related to damages arising out of emissions in June – December 2018. AOED also carried out a planned audit for the period January 2019 – February 2022 which had no material findings. We continue to be engaged and are monitoring the situation.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements (Including Guarantees)

We are a party to some transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements defined as “off-balance sheet arrangements” that could have a material future effect on our financial position, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. The most significant of these off-balance sheet arrangements include the A/R Facility (see Note 4—Accounts Receivable Purchase and Sales ~~Agreement)~~Agreements) and certain agreements and obligations under which we provide financial or performance assurance to third parties. Certain of these financial or performance assurances serve as guarantees, including standby letters of credit issued on behalf of insurance carriers in conjunction with our workers’ compensation

~~Table of Contents~~

insurance program and other financial surety instruments such as bonds. In addition, we have provided indemnifications, which serve as guarantees, to some third parties. These guarantees include indemnification provided by Nabors to our share transfer agent and our insurance carriers. We are not able to estimate the potential future maximum payments that might be due under our indemnification guarantees.

Management believes the likelihood that we would be required to perform or otherwise incur any material losses associated with any of these guarantees is remote. The following table summarizes the total maximum amount of financial guarantees issued by Nabors:

Note 9 Earnings (Losses) Per Share

ASC 260, Earnings per Share, requires companies to treat unvested share-based payment awards that have nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings (losses) per share. We have granted and expect to continue to grant to employees restricted stock grants that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends. Such grants are considered participating securities under ASC 260. As such, we are required to include these grants in the calculation of our basic earnings (losses) per share and calculate basic earnings (losses) per share using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The participating security holders are not contractually obligated to share in losses. Therefore, losses are not allocated to the participating security holders.

Basic earnings (losses) per share is computed utilizing the two-class method and is calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented.

Diluted earnings (losses) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods utilizing the two-class method for stock options and unvested restricted shares.

A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings (losses) per share computations is as follows:

In any period during which the average market price of Nabors’ common shares exceeds the exercise prices of ~~these~~the stock options, such stock options will be included in our diluted earnings (losses) per share computation using the if-converted method of accounting. Restricted stock is included in our basic and diluted earnings (losses) per share computation using the two-class method of accounting in all periods because such stock is considered participating securities. For periods in which we experience a net loss from continuing operations, all potential common shares have been excluded from the calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

We review our assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are not sufficient to support the asset’s recorded value, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its estimated fair value. 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. The determination of future cash flows requires the estimation of utilization, dayrates, operating margins, sustaining capital and remaining economic life. Such estimates can change based on market conditions, technological advances in the industry or changes in regulations governing the industry. A significantly prolonged period of lower oil and natural gas prices could continue to adversely affect the demand for and prices of our services, which could result in future impairment charges.

~~For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021~~

~~Canada Drilling~~

~~During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized an impairment of $58.0 million related to the reclassification of the Canada Drilling assets to assets held for sale.~~

~~Rig Technologies~~

~~As a result of our periodic analysis on inventories for our Rig Technologies segment, we recorded a $0.4 million provision for obsolescence.~~

~~Severance and transaction related costs~~

~~During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized charges of $2.6 million due to severance and other related costs incurred to right-size our cost structure.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Other assets~~

~~We wrote down or provided for $1.1~~ million of certain other assets including receivables related to our operations. The charges were primarily attributable to markets which have been adversely impacted by foreign sanctions or other political risk issues as well as bankruptcies or other financial problems.

~~For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020~~

~~Goodwill impairments~~

We have historically performed our annual goodwill impairment test during the second quarter of each year. In addition to our annual impairment test, we are required to regularly assess whether a triggering event has occurred which would require interim impairment testing. Due to industry conditions during the first quarter of 2020 and the corresponding impact on future expectations of demand for our products and services, including the effect on our stock price, we determined a triggering event had occurred and performed a quantitative impairment assessment of our goodwill. Based on the results of our goodwill test performed, we recognized impairment charges to write off the remaining goodwill balances attributable to our Drilling Solutions and Rig Technologies operating segments of $11.4 million and $16.4 million, respectively.

~~Intangible asset impairments~~

We also reviewed our intangible assets for impairment in the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the industry conditions. The fair value of our intangible assets is determined using discounted cash flow models. Based on our updated projections of future cash flows, the fair value of our intangible assets did not support the carrying value. As such, we recognized an impairment of $83.6 million to write off all remaining intangible assets attributable to our Drilling Solutions and Rig Technologies operating segments.

~~US Drilling~~

Due to the sharp decline in activity as a result of industry conditions in the US in the first part of the year relative to the same period in the prior year, we recorded impairments of $33.3 million and functionally retired $54.0 million of our lower specification rigs in the Lower 48 and Alaska markets totaling approximately $87.3 ~~million. We determined that the assets were either functionally obsolete, would be no longer used, or the carrying value was not fully recoverable and was in excess of its fair value.~~

~~International Drilling~~

We impaired $30.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, which represented rig and drilling-related equipment in international markets which have been impacted by market conditions and other factors.

During the second quarter of 2020, we wrote off all the remaining value on our rig and drilling-related equipment in Venezuela due to our lack of work in the country and limited visibility to any possibility of further work.

~~Drilling Solutions~~

~~We impaired or retired $28.6~~ million of fixed assets, equipment and inventory in our Drilling Solutions segment as a result of the significant decline in utilization experienced over the first half of the year due to industry conditions. We determined that the assets were either functionally obsolete, would be no longer used, or the carrying value was not fully recoverable and was in excess of its fair value.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Rig Technologies~~

~~As a result of our periodic analysis on inventories for our Rig Technologies segment, we recorded a $2.7 million provision for obsolescence.~~

~~Oil & gas related assets~~

~~In the first quarter of 2020, we recognized an impairment of $12.3 million to various assets related to our retained interest in the oil and gas properties located on the North Slope of Alaska.~~

~~Severance and transaction related costs~~

~~During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized charges of $11.8 million due to severance and other related costs incurred to right-size our cost structure.~~

~~Other assets~~

~~We wrote down or provided for $17.0~~ million of certain other assets including receivables related to our operations. The charges were primarily attributable to markets which have been adversely impacted by foreign sanctions or other political risk issues as well as bankruptcies or other financial problems.

Management evaluates the performance of our operating segments using adjusted operating income (loss), which is a segment performance measure, because it believes that this financial measure reflects our ongoing profitability and performance. In addition, securities analysts and investors use this measure as one of the metrics on which they analyze our performance. A reconciliation from net income (loss) is provided in the above table.

(3)	Represents the elimination of inter-segment transactions and unallocated corporate expenses and assets.

Note 1312 Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when control of a good or service promised in a contract (i.e., performance obligation) is transferred to a customer. Control is obtained when a customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from that good or service. Contract drilling revenues are recorded over time utilizing the input method based on time elapsed. The measurement of progress considers the transfer of the service to the customer as we provide daily drilling services. We receive payment after the services have been performed by billing customers periodically (typically monthly). However, a portion of our revenues are recognized at a point-in-time as control is transferred at a distinct point in time such as with the sale of our top drives and other capital equipment. Within our drilling contracts, we have identified one performance obligation in which the transaction price is allocated.

Contract balances

We perform our obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring goods or services in exchange for consideration from the customer. We recognize a contract asset or liability when we transfer goods or services to a customer and bill an amount which differs from the revenue allocated to the related performance obligations.

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers and these timing differences result in receivables, contract assets, or contract liabilities (deferred revenue) on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. In general, we receive payments from customers based on dayrates as stipulated in our contracts ~~(i.e.~~(e.g., operating rate, standby ~~rate)~~rate, etc.). The invoices billed to the customer are based on the varying rates applicable to the operating status on each rig. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional.

Dayrate contracts also may contain fees charged to the customer for up-front rig modifications, mobilization and demobilization of equipment and personnel. These fees are associated with contract fulfillment activities, and the related revenue (subject to any constraint on estimates of variable consideration) is allocated to a single performance obligation and recognized ratably over the initial term of the contract. Mobilization fees are generally billable to the customer in the initial phase of a contract and generate contract liabilities until they are recognized as revenue. Demobilization fees are generally received at the end of the contract and generate contract assets when they are recognized as revenue prior to becoming receivables from the customer.

We receive reimbursements from our customers for the purchase of supplies, equipment, personnel services and other services provided at their request. Reimbursable revenues are variable and subject to uncertainty as the amounts received and timing thereof are dependent on factors outside of our influence. Accordingly, these revenues are constrained and not recognized until the uncertainty is resolved, which typically occurs when the related costs are incurred on behalf of the customer. We are generally considered a principal in these transactions and record the associated revenues at the gross amounts billed to the customer.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We often discuss expectations regarding our future markets, demand for our products and services, and our performance in our annual, quarterly and current reports, press releases, and other written and oral statements. Statements relating to matters that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These “forward-looking statements” are based on an analysis of currently available competitive, financial and economic data and our operating plans. They are inherently uncertain and investors should recognize that events and actual results could turn out to be significantly different from our expectations. By way of illustration, when used in this document, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “predict” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

You should consider the following key factors when evaluating these forward-looking statements:

●

actual and potential political or economic instability, civil disturbance, war or acts of terrorism involving any of the countries in which we do business;

●

the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and its impact on our operations as well as oil and gas markets and prices;

●

fluctuations and volatility in worldwide prices of and demand for oil and natural gas;

●

fluctuations in levels of oil and natural gas exploration and development activities;

●

fluctuations in the demand for our services;

●

competitive and technological changes and other developments in the oil and gas and oilfield services industries;

●

our ability to renew customer contracts in order to maintain competitiveness;

●

the existence of operating risks inherent in the oil and gas and oilfield services industries;

●

the possibility of the loss of one or a number of our large customers;

●

the impact of long-term indebtedness and other financial commitments on our financial and operating flexibility;

●

our access to and the cost of capital, including the impact of a further downgrade in our credit rating, covenant restrictions, availability under our secured revolving credit facility, and future issuances of debt or equity securities;

●

our dependence on our operating subsidiaries and investments to meet our financial obligations;

●

our ability to retain skilled employees;

●

our ability to complete, and realize the expected benefits of, strategic transactions;

●

changes in tax laws and the possibility of changes in other laws and regulations;

●

the possibility of ~~political or economic instability, civil disturbance, war or acts of terrorism in any of the countries in which we do business;~~

●

~~the possibility of~~ changes to U.S. trade policies and regulations including the imposition of trade embargoes or sanctions; and

●

general economic conditions, including the capital and credit markets.

Our business depends, to a large degree, on the level of spending by oil and gas companies for exploration, development and production activities. Therefore, a sustained increase or decrease in the price of oil or natural gas, that

has a material impact on exploration, development and production activities, could also materially affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The above description of risks and uncertainties is by no means all-inclusive but highlights certain factors that we believe are important for your consideration. For a more detailed description of risk factors that may affect us or our industry, please refer to Item 1A. — Risk Factors in our ~~2020~~2021 Annual ~~Report and Part II, Item 1A. —~~ ~~Risk Factors~~ ~~in this report.~~Report.

Management Overview

This section is intended to help you understand our results of operations and our financial condition. This information is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto.

We own and operate one of the world’s largest land-based drilling rig fleets and provide offshore rigs in the United States and numerous international markets. Our business is comprised of our global land-based and offshore drilling rig operations and other rig related services and technologies, consisting of equipment manufacturing, rig instrumentation and optimization software. We also specialize in tubular running services, wellbore placement solutions and are a leading provider of ~~directional~~advanced technology for the energy industry. With operations in over 15 countries, Nabors has established a global network of people, technology and equipment to deploy solutions that deliver safe, efficient and sustainable energy production. By leveraging its core competencies, particularly in drilling, engineering, automation, data science and ~~measurement-while-drilling systems~~manufacturing, Nabors aims to innovate the future of energy and ~~services.~~enable the transition to a lower carbon world.

Outlook

The demand for our ~~products~~services and ~~services~~products is a function of the level of spending by oil and gas companies for exploration, development and production activities. The level of exploration, development and production activities is to a large extent tied to the prices of oil and natural gas, which can fluctuate significantly, are highly volatile and tend to be highly sensitive to supply and demand cycles. Additionally, some oil and gas companies may intentionally limit their capital spending to a percentage of their operating cash flows ~~that~~which may ~~be different than what~~differ from how they have ~~used~~ historically ~~in order to increase returns to their shareholders.~~made capital allocation decisions.

During 2020, ~~the~~global oil markets experienced unprecedented volatility. The COVID-19 outbreak, and its development into a pandemic, along with policies and actions taken by governments and ~~companies and~~ behaviors of companies, including our customers around the world, ~~had a significant negative impact on~~reduced demand for, ~~oil.~~and increased supply of, oil and gas. By extension, these circumstances reduced demand for our services, which negatively impacted our operating results and cash flow throughout 2020 and into 2021. The ~~Lower-48~~US drilling rig market began to stabilize during the second half of ~~2020.~~2020 and has improved at a measured rate through the first half of 2022. We expect ~~measured but steady~~continued increases in activity throughout ~~2021~~the remainder of 2022 and 2023 for the ~~Lower-48~~US market. Our International markets ~~have~~ also experienced factors and conditions that ~~have~~ led to ~~similar~~ reductions in activity throughout 2020, but the impact ~~has~~ varied considerably from country to country. ~~As government-imposed restrictions continue to ease,~~Since 2020, we ~~expect our international~~have seen a substantial resumption of overall activity to ~~generally increase through~~near pre-COVID-19 levels. In several key markets, activity has been restored to pre-COVID levels.

More recently, several global commodity markets, including oil and gas, have been impacted by the ~~remainder~~effects of the ~~year.~~war in Ukraine. These consequences include severe economic sanctions against the Russian government as well as certain Russian businesses and individuals, in addition to a reorientation of the global sources of oil and gas supply and a significant increase in the related commodity prices. Although higher commodity prices have historically led to an increase in oilfield activity, the ultimate outcome of these events and the impact on our business remains uncertain.

Recent Developments

~~Common stock warrants~~2022 Credit Agreement

On ~~May 27, 2021,~~January 21, 2022, we entered into a revolving credit agreement between Nabors Delaware, the ~~Board declared~~guarantors from time to time party thereto, the issuing banks (the “Issuing Banks”) and other lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “2022 Credit Agreement”). The 2022 Credit Agreement replaced the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. Under the 2022 Credit Agreement, the Lenders have committed to provide up to an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $350.0 million (with an accordion feature for an additional $100.0 million) to Nabors Delaware under a ~~distribution to holders~~secured revolving credit facility, including sub-facilities provided by certain of the ~~Company’s common shares~~Lenders for letters of ~~warrants to purchase its common shares (the “Warrants”). Holders~~credit in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not in excess of ~~Nabors common shares received two-fifths~~$100.0 million. The facility matures on the earlier of a warrant per common share held as of the record date (rounded down for any fractional warrant). Nabors issued approximately 3,236,430 warrants on June 11, 2021 to shareholders of record as of June 4, 2021.

Each Warrant will represent the right to purchase one common share at an initial exercise price of $166.66667 per Warrant, subject to certain adjustments (the “Exercise Price”). In addition, Warrants submitted for exercise may be eligible to receive an additional one-third common share due(a) January 21, 2026 and (b) (i) to the ~~incentive share component. The incentive share is an extra~~extent any principal amount of common shares that Nabors will award when the volume weighted average price of Nabors’ common shares on the day before any Warrant holder exercises its Warrants multiplied by three is at least 6% higher than the sum of the volume weighted average prices of Nabors’ common shares on each of the second, third and fourth days before any Warrant holder exercises its Warrants. Payment for common shares on exercise of Warrants may be in (i) cash or (ii) “Designated Notes,” which the Company initially defines as ~~(a) Nabors Delaware’s (i) 5.10% Notes due 2023, (ii) 0.75% Exchangeable Notes due 2024, (iii) 5.75% Notes due 2025 and (b) the Company’s 7.25% Notes due 2026, subject to compliance with applicable procedures with respect to the delivery of the Warrants and Designated Notes.

At June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we had ~~$557.5 million of~~no borrowings outstanding under the ~~2018 Revolving~~2022 Credit ~~Facility,~~Agreement, which has a total borrowing capacity of ~~$1.014 billion.~~ $350.0 million.

The ~~2018 Revolving~~2022 Credit ~~Facility~~Agreement requires us to maintain ~~“minimum liquidity” of no less than $160.0 million at all times, and~~ an ~~asset to debt~~interest coverage ratio of(EBITDA/interest expense), which increases on a quarterly basis, and a minimum guarantor value, requiring the guarantors (other than the Company) and their subsidiaries to own at least ~~4.25:1 as~~90% of the ~~end of each calendar quarter.~~ ~~Minimum liquidity is defined to mean, generally, a~~ consolidated ~~cash balance consisting of (a) the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash~~property, plant and ~~cash equivalents maintained in a deposit account U.S. or Canadian branch of a commercial bank, plus (b) the lesser of $75 million or an amount equal to 75%~~equipment of the ~~aggregate amount~~Company. Additionally, the Company is subject to certain 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 ~~unrestricted cash~~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 ~~cash equivalents held in deposit account of~~to repurchase certain indebtedness and (c) a ~~commercial bank outside~~covenant restricting the ability of the ~~U.S. or Canada, plus (c) available commitments under~~Company’s subsidiaries to incur debt (subject to the ~~2018 Revolving Credit Facility. The asset~~grower basket of up to debt coverage ratio applies only during the period which Nabors Delaware fails to maintain an investment grade rating from at least two rating agencies, which was the case as of the date of this report. $100.0 million). As of June 30, ~~2021~~2022, we were in compliance with both the ~~minimum liquidity and asset to debt~~interest coverage ratio and the minimum guarantor value requirements under the ~~2018 Revolving~~2022 Credit ~~Facility.~~Agreement. We also had ~~$53.9~~$66.9 million of letters of credit outstanding under the ~~2018 Revolving~~2022 Credit ~~Facility.~~Agreement.

As of the date of this report, we were in compliance with all covenants under the ~~2018 Revolving~~2022 Credit ~~Facility.~~Agreement. If we fail to perform our obligations under the covenants, the revolving credit commitments under the ~~2018 Revolving~~2022 Credit ~~Facility~~Agreement could be terminated, and any outstanding borrowings under the facilities could be declared immediately due and payable. If necessary, we have the ability to manage our covenant compliance by taking certain actions including reductions in discretionary capital or other types of controllable expenditures, monetization of assets, amending or renegotiating the revolving credit agreement, accessing capital markets through a variety of alternative methods, or any combination of these alternatives. We expect to remain in compliance with all covenants under the ~~2018 Revolving~~2022 Credit ~~Facility~~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.

Our ability to access capital markets or to otherwise obtain sufficient financing may be affected by our senior unsecured debt ratings as provided by the major credit rating agencies in the United States and our historical ability to

~~Table of Contents~~

access these markets as needed. While there can be no assurances that we will be able to access these markets in the future, we believe that we will be able to access capital markets or otherwise obtain financing in order to satisfy any payment obligation that might arise upon maturity, exchange or purchase of our notes and our debt facilities, loss of availability of our revolving credit facilities and our A/R Facility (see—Accounts Receivable Purchase and Sales ~~Agreement,~~Agreements, below), and that any cash payment due, in addition to our other cash obligations, would not ultimately have a material adverse impact on our liquidity or financial position. The major U.S. credit rating agencies have previously downgraded our senior unsecured debt rating to non-investment grade. These and any further ratings downgrades could adversely impact our ability to access debt markets in the future, increase the cost of future debt, and potentially require us to post letters of credit for certain obligations.

We had 18 letter-of-credit facilities with various banks as of June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. Availability under these facilities as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 was as follows:

Accounts Receivable Purchase and Sales ~~Agreement~~Agreements

On September 13, 2019, we entered into an accounts receivables sales agreement (the “A/R Sales Agreement”) and an accounts receivables purchase agreement (the “A/R Purchase Agreement” and, together with the ~~$250 million~~ A/R ~~Facility consisting of a Receivables~~ Sales Agreement, ~~and a Receivables Purchase Agreement,~~the “A/R Facility”), whereby the ~~Originators~~originators sold or contributed, and will on an ongoing basis continue to sell or contribute, certain of their domestic trade accounts receivables to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote ~~SPE.~~special purpose entity (“SPE”). The SPE ~~would~~ in turn, ~~sell, transfer, convey~~sells, transfers, conveys and ~~assign~~assigns to third-party ~~Purchasers,~~financial institutions (“Purchasers”), all the rights, title and interest in and to its pool of eligible receivables.

On July 13, 2021, we entered into the First Amendment to the ~~Receivables~~A/R Purchase Agreement which ~~extends~~reduced the commitments of the third-party financial institutions (the “Purchasers”) from $250 million to $150 million and extended the term of the A/R Facility by two years, to August 13, 2023.

On June 27, 2022, we entered into the Third Amendment to the A/R Purchase Agreement which extended the term of the Purchase Agreement to August 13, 2024 and increased the commitments of the Purchasers from $150 million to $250 million, with the possibility of being increased up to $300 million, subject to lender approval. However, the expiration of the agreement ~~could~~can be accelerated to the earlier of (i) December 31, 2022, if by that date the Company’s 2018 Revolving Credit Facility is not amended to extend its termination date to as least October 11, 2024 and immediately after giving effect to such amendment the consolidated cash balance of the company is not at least $220 million or (ii) July 19,November 16, 2022, if any of the 5.5% Senior Notes due 2023 ~~of Nabors Delaware~~ remain outstanding as of such ~~date. The amendment also reduced the commitments~~date; to June 17, 2023 if any of the ~~Purchasers from $250 million~~5.1% Senior Notes remain outstanding as of such date; or, to ~~$150 million, with~~October17, 2023 if 50% or more of the ~~possibility~~outstanding aggregate principal amount of ~~being increased up to $200 million.~~the 0.75% Senior Exchangeable Notes remain outstanding and not refinanced as of such date.

The amount available for purchase under the A/R Facility fluctuates over time based on the total amount of eligible receivables generated during the normal course of business after excluding excess concentrations and certain other ineligible receivables. The maximum purchase commitment of the Purchasers under the A/R Facility is approximately $250.0 million and the amount of receivables purchased by the third-party Purchasers as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~$84.0~~$154.0 million.

The ~~Originators,~~originators, Nabors Delaware, the SPE, and the Company provide representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities under the A/R Facility and the Indemnification Guarantee. See further details at Note 4—Accounts Receivable Purchase and Sales ~~Agreement.~~Agreements.

Future Cash Requirements

Our current cash and investments, projected cash flows from operations, proceeds from equity or debt issuances and the facilities under our ~~revolving credit facility~~2022 Credit Agreement are expected to adequately finance our purchase commitments, capital expenditures, acquisitions, scheduled debt service requirements, and all other expected cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, we can make no assurances that our current operational and financial projections will prove to be ~~correct,~~ ~~especially in light of the effects the COVID-19 pandemic has on oil and natural gas prices and, in turn, our business~~.correct. A sustained period of highly depressed oil and natural gas prices could have a significant effect on our customers’ capital expenditure spending and therefore our operations, cash flows and liquidity.

Purchase commitments outstanding at June 30, ~~2021~~2022 totaled approximately ~~$244.4~~$247.9 million, primarily for capital expenditures, other operating expenses and purchases of inventory. We can reduce planned expenditures if necessary or increase them if market conditions and new business opportunities warrant it. The level of our outstanding purchase

~~Table of Contents~~

commitments and our expected level of capital expenditures over the next 12 months represent a number of capital programs that are currently underway or planned.

See our discussion of guarantees issued by Nabors that could have a potential impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in future periods included below under “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements (Including Guarantees).”

There have been no material changes to the contractual cash obligations ~~table~~ that ~~was~~were included in our ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report.

On August 25, 2015, our Board authorized a share repurchase program (the “program”) under which we may repurchase, from time to time, up to $400.0 million of our common shares by various means, including in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Authorization for the program, which was renewed in February 2019, does not have an expiration date and does not obligate us to repurchase any of our common shares. Since establishing the program, we have repurchased 0.3 million of our common shares for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $121.1 million under this program. The repurchased shares, which are held by our subsidiaries, are registered and tradable subject to applicable securities law limitations and have the same voting and other rights as other outstanding shares. As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the remaining amount authorized under the program that may be used to purchase shares was $278.9 million. As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, our subsidiaries held 1.1 million of our common shares.

We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, both in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors and may involve material amounts.

Cash Flows

Our cash flows depend, to a large degree, on the level of spending by oil and gas companies for exploration, development and production activities. Sustained decreases in the price of oil or natural gas could have a material impact on these activities and could also materially affect our cash flows. Certain sources and uses of cash, such as the level of discretionary capital expenditures or acquisitions, purchases and sales of investments, dividends, loans, issuances and repurchases of debt and of our common shares are within our control and are adjusted as necessary based on market conditions. We discuss our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021 below.

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled ~~$213.2~~$162.2 million during the six months ended June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, compared to net cash provided of ~~$201.8~~$213.2 million during the corresponding ~~2020~~2021 period. Operating cash flows are our primary source of capital and liquidity. Cash from operating results (before working capital changes) was ~~$107.3~~$164.0 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021, a decrease~~2022, an increase of ~~$131.0~~$56.7 million when compared to ~~$238.3~~$107.3 million in the corresponding ~~2020~~2021 period. This was due to the increase in activity across our business for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2021. Changes in working capital items such as collection of receivables, other deferred revenue arrangements and payments of operating payables are also significant factors affecting operating cash flows and can be highly volatile in periods of increasing or decreasing activity levels. Changes in working capital items ~~provided $105.9~~used $1.8 million in cash flows during the six months ended June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, a ~~$142.4~~$107.7 million ~~improvement~~unfavorable change as compared to the ~~negative $36.6~~$105.9 million in cash flows provided from working capital in the corresponding ~~2020~~2021 period. ~~The positive impact from~~This is reflective of the increased working capital ~~more than offset the negative impact~~requirements that resulted from ~~operating results.~~activity level increases.

Investing Activities. Net cash used for investing activities totaled ~~$84.9~~$163.2 million during the six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 compared to net cash used of ~~$92.1~~$84.9 million during the corresponding ~~2020~~2021 period. Our primary use of cash for investing activities is capital expenditures for rig-related enhancements, new construction and equipment, as well as sustaining capital expenditures. During the six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, we used cash for capital expenditures totaling ~~$117.8~~$160.9 million and ~~$106.8~~$117.8 million, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we received $16.4 million in proceeds from asset sales. We also invested $18.7 million during the period, in companies that focus on energy transition related technologies. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we received $21.5 million in proceeds from asset sales and $11.4 million in sales and maturities of ~~assets and insurance claims~~investments.

Financing Activities. Net cash used for financing activities totaled $578.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, ~~2021 compared to $12.8 million for the corresponding 2020 period. We also received $11.4~~2022, we repaid $460.0 million in ~~sales~~net amounts under our revolving credit facility and ~~maturities~~$110.0 million of ~~investments for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $1.9 million for the corresponding 2020 period.~~long-term debt.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Financing Activities~~. Net cash used for financing activities totaled $199.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we used $50.9 million for a redeemable non-controlling interest distribution, $115.0 million in net amounts repaid under our revolving credit facility, and ~~by a~~ $21.8 million ~~repayment~~repaid on our senior notes. Additionally, we paid dividends totaling $7.3 million to our ~~preferred shareholders.~~

Net cash used for financing activities totaled $61.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we received net proceeds of $1.0 billion from the issuance of new long-term debt as well as $205.0 million in net amounts borrowed under our revolving credit facility. This was partially offset by a $1.2 billion repayment on our senior notes. Additionally, we paid dividends totaling $15.2 million to our common and preferred shareholders.

Summarized Combined Financial Information for Guarantee of Securities of Subsidiaries

Nabors Delaware is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Nabors. Nabors fully and unconditionally guarantees the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on Nabors Delaware’s registered notes, which are its ~~(i) 4.625% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”), (ii)~~(a) 5.10% Senior Notes due 2023 (the ~~“2023~~“5.10% 2023 Notes”), ~~(iii)~~(b) 5.50% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “5.50% 2023 Notes”) and ~~(iv)~~(c) 5.75% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes” and, together with the ~~2021 Notes, the 2023 Notes, the 5.50%~~5.10% 2023 Notes and the ~~2025~~5.50% 2023 Notes, the “Registered Notes”), and any other obligations of Nabors Delaware under the Registered Notes when and as they become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon redemption, by acceleration or otherwise, if Nabors Delaware is unable to satisfy these obligations. ~~Nabors'~~Nabors’ guarantee of Nabors ~~Delaware's~~Delaware’s obligations under the Registered Notes are its unsecured and unsubordinated obligation and have the same ranking with respect to ~~Nabors'~~Nabors’ indebtedness as the Registered Notes have with respect to Nabors ~~Delaware's~~Delaware’s indebtedness. In the event that Nabors is required to withhold or deduct on account of any Bermudian taxes due from any payment made under or with respect to its guarantees, subject to certain exceptions, Nabors will pay additional amounts so that the net amount received by each

holder of Registered Notes will equal the amount that such holder would have received if the Bermudian taxes had not been required to be withheld or deducted.

The following summarized financial information is included so that separate financial statements of Nabors Delaware are not required to be filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidating financial statements present investments in both consolidated and unconsolidated affiliates using the equity method of accounting.

In lieu of providing separate financial statements for issuers and guarantors (the “Obligated Group”), we have presented the accompanying supplemental summarized combined balance sheet and income statement information for the Obligated Group based on Rule 13-01 of the SEC’s Regulation S-X that we early adopted effective April 1, 2020.

All significant intercompany items among the Obligated Group have been eliminated in the supplemental summarized combined financial information. The Obligated Group’s investment balances in Subsidiary Non-Guarantors have been excluded from the supplemental combined financial information. Significant intercompany balances and activity for the Obligated Group with other related parties, including Subsidiary Non-Guarantors (referred to as “affiliates”), are presented separately in the accompanying supplemental summarized financial information.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements (Including Guarantees)

We are a party to transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements defined as “off-balance sheet arrangements” that could have a material future effect on our financial position, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. The most significant of these off-balance sheet arrangements include the A/R Facility (see —Accounts Receivable Purchase and Sales ~~Agreement,~~Agreements, above) and certain agreements and obligations under which we provide financial or performance assurance to third parties. Certain of these financial or performance assurances serve as guarantees, including standby letters of credit issued on behalf of insurance carriers in conjunction with our workers’

Table of Contents

compensation insurance program and other financial surety instruments such as bonds. In addition, we have provided indemnifications, which serve as guarantees, to some third parties. These guarantees include indemnification provided by us to our share transfer agent and our insurance carriers. We are not able to estimate the potential future maximum payments that might be due under our indemnification guarantees. Management believes the likelihood that we would be required to perform or otherwise incur any material losses associated with any of these guarantees is remote.

The following table summarizes the total maximum amount of financial guarantees issued by Nabors:

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We may be exposed to market risks arising from the use of financial instruments in the ordinary course of business as discussed in our ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report. ~~There~~Other than changes in the fair value of our warrants due to changes in trading values as discussed in “Note 6 Shareholders’ Equity” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements , there were no material changes in our exposure to market risk during the six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 from those disclosed in our ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We have investments in certain unconsolidated entities that we do not control or manage. Because we do not control or manage these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to these entities are necessarily more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

See Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies — Litigation for information regarding our legal proceedings.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A, of our ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which in addition to the information set forth elsewhere in this report and the ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report, should be carefully considered when evaluating us. These risks are not the only risks we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business.

~~We will~~Our business may be ~~subject to a number of uncertainties while we pursue the initial public offering of Nabors Energy Transition Corp. (“NETC”),~~affected by changes in applicable sanctions or export controls laws and ~~during the timeframe when NETC pursues a business combination, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and share price.~~

While we have announced our intention to pursue an initial public offering of NETC, a newly formed special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) co-sponsored by us, there has recently been heightened regulatory focus on SPACs resulting in substantial uncertainty in the SPAC markets. Pursuing the initial public offering of a SPAC in this uncertain environment may result in additional costs, delays in the SPAC initial public offering process and attention from our management and employees. There is no assurance that we will be able to consummate NETC’s initial public offering on favorable terms or at all.

If we are unable to consummate NETC’s initial public offering on favorable terms or at all, or if we complete the initial public offering and NETC is unable to consummate a suitable business transaction during the prescribed two-year time period set forth in the terms of the initial public offering, we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets and from our shareholders. In addition, in the event that NETC is able to find a suitable business combination, or if the business combination is unsuccessful, there is no assurance that we will realize the anticipated value from such transaction.

Table of Contents

Our international operations expose us to compliance obligations and risks under applicable economic sanctions, export controls and trade embargoes, such as those imposed, administered and enforced by the United States and the United Kingdom and other relevant sanctions authorities (collectively, “Sanctions”). In response to ongoing military hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and other jurisdictions imposed new and additional economic sanctions, export controls and other trade restrictions (“collectively, “Sanctions Measures”) targeting Russia, Belarus and certain regions of Ukraine, including Sanctions Measures that impose: (a) restrictions on engaging in specified activities or transactions, or any and all activities and transactions, with, involving or for the benefit of certain designated Russian and Belarusian entities or individuals (collectively, “Sanctions Targets”); (b) a specific prohibition on new investment in the Russian energy sector, broadly defined to include the procurement, exploration, extraction, drilling, mining, harvesting, production, refinement, liquefaction, gasification, regasification, conversion, enrichment, fabrication or transport of petroleum, natural gas, liquified natural gas, natural gas liquids, or petroleum products or other products capable of producing energy; and (c) a broad prohibition on new investment in Russia.

Pursuant to applicable Sanctions, we may be obliged to limit our business activities, may incur costs in order to implement and maintain compliance programs, and may be subject to investigations, enforcement actions or penalties relating to actual or alleged instances of noncompliance with the Sanctions Measures. It may also be necessary for us to take certain actions, including suspending or winding down our operations in Russia, in order to maintain compliance with, or satisfy obligations under, applicable Sanctions.

We are committed to compliance with all applicable Sanctions and have implemented and maintain dedicated policies and procedures that we believe to be customary and appropriate to promote and maintain our compliance with applicable Sanctions. However, we can provide no assurances that these policies and procedures will always be effective in identifying Sanctions Targets and their property interests or in preventing violations of applicable Sanctions by us or employees, agents or other persons acting on our behalf.

The full scale of the impact of the Sanctions Measures and Russia’s responses to the Sanctions Measures (such as counter-sanctions and the potential nationalization of assets in Russia) is currently unclear but such developments could adversely affect our operations and the oil and gas sector generally, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow. In addition, U.S. and other governments have increased their oversight and enforcement activities with respect to Sanctions laws and regulations and it is expected that the relevant agencies will continue to increase these investigative and enforcement activities. A violation of Sanctions could result in severe criminal or civil penalties and reputational harm, which could separately adversely affect our business and results of operations.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

We withheld the following shares of our common stock to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with grants of stock awards during the three months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 from the distributions described below. These shares may be deemed to be “issuer purchases” of shares that are required to be disclosed pursuant to this Item, but were not purchased as part of a publicly announced program to purchase common shares:
