As of February 10, 2016, the original issuance date thereof, each Stapled Security initially represented one Ordinary Share and an original issuance amount of $172.61 principal amount of 1%/12%Step-Up Senior Secured Third Lien Convertible Notes due 2030 (the “Notes” or “Convertible Notes”), in each case subject to adjustment as further described in the prospectus. Interest on the Notes accrues at a rate of 1% per year from February 10, 2016, the issue date of the Notes, through, but not including, the fourth anniversary of February 10, 2016. From and after the fourth anniversary of February 10, 2016 and through the maturity date of the Notes, interest will accrue at a rate of 12% per year. Interest on the Notes is payable in kind, semi-annually (in arrears) on June 30 and December 31 of each year by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the Notes. The Notes are mandatorily convertible, in whole or in part, into Ordinary Shares upon the occurrence of certain events enumerated in the indenture governing the Notes, as further described in the prospectus. Accordingly, the Notes, or portions thereof, may be converted into Ordinary Shares without the consent of the holder thereof in certain circumstances, as further described in the prospectus. We are not selling any Stapled Securities or Ordinary Shares under this prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Stapled Securities or Ordinary Shares being offered by the selling holders.

Brazil Improbity Action
As previously disclosed by Vantage Drilling International (the “Company”) in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on April 27, 2018, the Company was added as an additional defendant in a legal proceeding initiated by the Brazilian federal public prosecutor’s office in the State of Parana, Brazil (the “Brazilian Federal Prosecutor”) against certain individuals in connection with the contracting of the Titanium Explorer drillship to Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (“Petrobras”) under a 2009 drilling contract, with the Brazilian Government and Petrobras as plaintiffs. The proceeding is taking place at the 11th Federal Court of the Judicial Branch of Curitiba, State of Parana, Brazil (the “Brazilian Federal Court”).
The damages claimed in the proceeding are in the amount of BRL 102.8 million (approximately $31.0 million), together with a civil fine equal to three times that amount. The Company understands that the Brazilian Federal Court issued an order authorizing the seizure and freezing of the assets of the Company and the other three defendants in the legal proceeding, as a precautionary measure, in the amount of approximately $124 million. The Company and the other three defendants are jointly and severally liable for this amount. The seizure order has not had an effect on the Company’s assets or operations, as the Company does not own any assets in Brazil, and does not currently intend to relocate any assets to Brazil. On February 13, 2019, the Company learned that the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor has requested mutual legal assistance from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) pursuant to the United Nations Convention against Corruption of 2003 to obtain a freezing order against the Company’s U.S. assets in the amount of $124.0 million.
On April 12, 2019, the Company filed an interlocutory appeal with the 4th Circuit of the Federal Court of Appeals in Porto Alegre, State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil (the “Brazilian Appellate Court”), the appellate court hearing appeals in the “Car Wash” cases, to stay the seizure and freezing order of the Brazilian Federal Court.
On May 20, 2019, the Company announced that the Brazilian Appellate Court ruled in favor of the Company’s appeal to stay the seizure and freezing order of the Brazilian Federal Court. The foregoing ruling is still subject to confirmation by a three-judge panel, and is subject to appeal, and the Company can offer no assurances that the stay will be confirmed or as to the outcome of any appeal thereof. The Company has communicated said ruling to the DOJ, and has asked the Brazilian Federal Court to do the same.
On June 26, 2019, the Company learned that the Brazilian Government made a filing with the Brazilian Federal Court reporting that the DOJ has advised the Brazilian Ministry of Justice that it would not be possible for the DOJ to comply with the mutual assistance request in respect of the asset freeze order. On July 5, 2019, the Company further learned from the Brazilian Ministry of Justice that the DOJ’s response to the request for mutual assistance stated that no legal grounds existed for the implementing the requested asset freeze, and that the DOJ was returning the request without taking action and considers the matter concluded.
The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against the allegations made in the underlying improbity action. However, the Company can neither predict the ultimate outcome of this matter nor that there will not be further developments in the “Car Wash” investigation or in any other ongoing investigation or related proceeding that could adversely affect it.
Third Lien Notes
The Company previously announced in its Current Report on Form8-K filed on June 7, 2019, that the board of directors of the Company had approved the conversion of all of the Company’s currently outstanding 1%/12%Step-Up Senior Secured Third Lien Convertible Notes (the “Third Lien Notes”) into ordinary shares of the Company (the “Conversion”) to take effect on or as promptly as practicable after July 1, 2019, that the Conversion would be further subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions required by the indenture governing the Third Lien Notes, and that the Company at the time expected to satisfy such conditions on or after July 1, 2019.
In light of the recently announced agreement with, and payment by, Petrobras and certain of its subsidiaries, which was reported by the Company in its Current Report on Form8-K filed on June 24, 2019, the board of directors of the Company has decided to reevaluate whether it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to proceed with the conversion of the Third Lien Notes into ordinary shares at this point in time. Accordingly, no action is being undertaken by the Company at the current time to proceed with the Conversion.
