Each Stapled Security initially represents 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 of Vantage Drilling International (the “Notes”), in each case subject to adjustment as further described in the prospectus. Interest on the Notes will accrue 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) 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.

The selling holders may sell Stapled Securities or Ordinary Shares through agents they select or through underwriters and dealers they select. The selling holders also may sell Stapled Securities or Ordinary Shares directly to investors. If the selling holders use agents, underwriters or dealers to sell the Stapled Securities or Ordinary Shares, we will name such agents, underwriters or dealers and describe any applicable commissions or discounts in a supplement to this prospectus if required.
