 Company Overview Vantage Offices 4 Jackups 3 Drillships |
 Important Considerations • Vantage’s liquidity position is strong at about $250 million. • Vantage has retired about $400 million in debt from operating cashflows over the past 7 quarters. • Vantage has very limited scheduled maturities before late 2017, only about $12 million per quarter. • Vantage, like most of our peers, has made significant overhead reductions to buffer the impact of poor market conditions. Like other companies, our long-term health is dependent upon some recovery in the market. • Vantage has a new, modern fleet of high-specification assets, as well as an outstanding track record and reputation. This puts us in a position to strengthen our company, even during a period of extreme market disruption. Vantage and financial advisor, Lazard, are working to increase the company’s equity capitalization, liquidity and balance sheet so that Vantage will be better positioned to meet all challenges until such time as conditions begin to improve. |
 Significant Ongoing Matters Petrobras Contract Arbitration • Petrobras wrongfully terminated the contract for Titanium Explorer on August 31, 2015. Backlog of about $1.1 billion (~5.5 years) was remaining. • Vantage has commenced arbitration proceedings in Texas for recovery of damages. Cobalt Explorer Contract Arbitration • Cobalt Explorer Holdings Company notified DSME that it was terminating the construction contract for UDW drillship Cobalt Explorer pursuant to the contractual terms. • DSME also gave notice later that it intended to cancel the contract. DSME filed for arbitration in the UK. • CEHC has filed with KEXIM for payment of $59.5 million (plus interest) pursuant to a refund guarantee. KEXIM is awaiting results of arbitration. Strengthening Balance Sheet • Vantage and Financial Advisors (Lazard/Weil) are discussing possible restructuring scenarios with large debt holders in order to strengthen the company’s balance sheet and reduce interest burden. |

 Strong Customer Base We have focused our marketing efforts on customers with long-term drilling requirements with the opportunity for long-term contracts |
 Market Conditions • Deliveries of newbuild rigs have saturated the marketplace and are negatively impacting pricing. • Because of ready availability of rigs (from added supply), customers are not contracting rigs as far in advance as they had previously. • The “collapse” in oil prices has led to drastic capital spending reductions for offshore drilling (15-30%) • Numerous older and lower-specification rigs have recently been stacked and are not being actively marketed. Many of these will likely never return to service. For the first time in years, rigs are actually being scrapped. Considerations – • By the end of 2016, How many rigs will have been cold stacked or scrapped? Even with new rig deliveries, will the global fleet of remaining workable rigs be at the level of 2010/2011? How soon and how much will Petrobras demand be a major factor? What will be the price of oil? Perennial growth in oil consumption, coupled with a double-digit reduction in E&P spending will produce higher oil prices. The recovery may be much faster than generally expected from initial uptick in rig demand.. |
