Explanation of Responses:

1. The restricted share units convert into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis upon vesting, and the reporting person is required to pay the aggregate nominal value (par value), $0.10 per share, of our Class A ordinary shares actually issued in accordance with U.K. corporate law. In connection with the transaction reported above, the reporting person paid $552.90 to Ensco plc with respect to the shares actually issued upon vesting of the restricted share units. The remaining 2,404 shares were withheld and not issued to satisfy certain tax withholding obligations.

2. These shares were withheld upon vesting to enable the reporting person to satisfy tax withholding obligations that arose upon such vesting, which will be paid by the issuer to the appropriate taxing authority in cash.

3. Upon the vesting of our restricted share units, the reporting person is required to pay the aggregate nominal value (par value), $0.10 per share, of our Class A ordinary shares actually issued, in accordance with U.K. corporate law.
