Chapter 11 Proceedings | 2. Chapter 11 Proceedings Chapter 11 Cases On April 26, 2020 (or the Petition Date), Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. (or the Company) and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (which we refer to, together with the Company, as the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 (or Chapter 11) of title 11 of the United States Code (or the Chapter 11 Cases) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (or the Bankruptcy Court). The Chapter 11 Cases are jointly administered under the caption In re Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc., et al, . The Debtors filed motions with the Bankruptcy Court seeking authorization to continue to operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code (or the Bankruptcy Code) and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. To ensure their ability to continue operating in the ordinary course of business, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court a variety of motions seeking “first day” relief, including authority to continue using their cash management system, pay employee wages and benefits and pay certain vendors and suppliers in the ordinary course of business (or the First Day Motions), all of which were approved. Pursuant to the First Day Motions, and subject to certain terms and dollar limits included therein, the Debtors were authorized to continue to use their unrestricted cash on hand, as well as all cash generated from daily operations, which is being used to continue the Debtors’ operations without interruption during the course of their restructuring. Also pursuant to the First Day Motions, the Debtors received Bankruptcy Court authorization to, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable orders, pay prepetition employee wages, salaries, health benefits and other employee obligations during their restructuring, pay certain claims relating to critical and other vendors, continue their cash management programs and insurance policies and continue to honor their current customer programs. The Debtors are authorized under the Bankruptcy Code to pay post-petition expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business without seeking Bankruptcy Court approval. Until a plan of reorganization is approved and effective, the Debtors will continue to manage their properties and operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court. Commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases automatically stayed most actions against the Debtors, including actions to collect indebtedness incurred prior to the Petition Date, actions to enforce pre-Petition Date contractual rights or remedies against the Debtors and actions to exercise control over the Debtors’ property. Subject to certain exceptions under the Bankruptcy Code, the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases also automatically stayed the continuation of most legal proceedings or the filing of other actions against the Debtors or their property to recover on, collect, or secure a claim arising prior to the Petition Date or to exercise control over property of the Debtors’ bankruptcy estates, unless and until the Bankruptcy Court modifies or lifts the automatic stay as to any such claim. Notwithstanding the general application of the automatic stay described above, governmental authorities may determine to continue actions brought under their police and regulatory powers. The U.S. Trustee for the Southern District of Texas filed a notice appointing an official committee of unsecured creditors on May 11, 2020, which was subsequently reconstituted on June 11, 2020. On May 27, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court approved a new key employee retention plan and a new non-executive incentive plan covering certain non-executive key employees. On June 23, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court approved a key employee incentive plan covering certain additional key employees, including our executive officers. Upon the participating employee’s acceptance of an award under the new compensation plans, all outstanding unvested incentive awards previously granted to the employee under our previously-existing incentive plans, consisting of restricted stock units (or RSUs), stock appreciation rights (or SARs) and/or cash incentive awards, were canceled. As of June 30, 2020, the Debtors had not emerged from bankruptcy and no plan of reorganization or restructuring support agreement had been filed with the Bankruptcy Court . Negotiations between the various parties to the Chapter 11 Cases are ongoing. A plan of reorganization, if and when approved by the Bankruptcy Court, could materially change the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Going Concern During the first quarter of 2020, the business climate in which we operate experienced a significant adverse change, primarily as a result of the market impacts of the oil price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia and regulatory, market and commercial challenges that arose due to the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate the spread of the virus, both of which resulted in a dramatic decline in oil prices. As a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the principal and interest due under our outstanding senior notes and revolving credit facility became immediately due and payable and have been presented as “Liabilities subject to compromise” in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2020. However, any We have projected that we will not have sufficient cash on hand or available liquidity to repay all such outstanding debt. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 we reported a net loss of $1.0 billion, inclusive of a pre-tax $774.0 million impairment charge. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt over our ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months after the date our financial statements are issued. Financial information in this report has been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which presumes that we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due. Financial information in this report does not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary if we were unable to realize our assets and settle our liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material. Our long-term liquidity requirements and the adequacy of capital resources are difficult to predict at this time. Although we anticipate that the Chapter 11 Cases will help address our liquidity concerns, as of June 30, 2020, we do not have a plan of reorganization in place. Additionally, the approval of a plan of reorganization is not within our control and uncertainty remains over the Bankruptcy Court's approval of a plan of reorganization. As such, due to the absence of a plan of reorganization and lack of clarity regarding emergence from bankruptcy, we have concluded that substantial doubt continues to exist about our ability to continue as a going concern. Chapter 11 Accounting We have prepared our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as if we were a going concern and in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 852 – Reorganizations Prepetition Restructuring Charges Reorganization Items The following table provides information about reorganization items incurred during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 , subsequent to the Petition Date (in thousands): June 30, 2020 Professional fees (1) $ 20,659 Write-off of debt issuance costs 27,493 Adjustments for estimated claims and rejected contracts 6,539 Gain on settlement with certain unsecured vendors (714 ) Total reorganization items, net $ 53,977 (1) Payments of $0.3 million related to professional fees have been presented as cash outflows from operating activities in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020. See Note 5. Liabilities Subject to Compromise . We have reported prepetition unsecured and under-secured obligations that may be impacted by the Chapter 11 Cases as “Liabilities subject to compromise” in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2020. ASC 852 requires prepetition liabilities that are subject to compromise to be reported at the amounts expected to be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court. The amounts currently reported as liabilities subject to compromise are preliminary and may be subject to future adjustment depending on Bankruptcy Court actions, further developments with respect to disputed claims, determinations of the secured status of certain claims, the values of any collateral securing such claims, rejection of executory contracts, continued reconciliation or other events. These amounts represent our best estimate of allowed claims that will be resolved as part of the bankruptcy proceedings, but may be ultimately settled for a lesser amount. We will continue to evaluate these liabilities throughout the Chapter 11 Cases and adjust amounts as necessary. Such adjustments may be material. Liabilities subject to compromise at June 30, 2020 consist of the following (in thousands): June 30, 2020 Debt subject to compromise: Borrowings under credit facility $ 436,000 3.45% Senior Notes due 2023 250,000 7.875% Senior Notes due 2025 500,000 5.70% Senior Notes due 2039 500,000 4.875% Senior Notes due 2043 750,000 Lease liabilities 144,999 Accrued interest 47,636 Accounts payable 65,526 Other accrued liabilities 24,460 Other liabilities 4,058 Total liabilities subject to compromise $ 2,722,679 Upon filing of the Chapter 11 Cases on April 26, 2020, we ceased accruing interest on our senior unsecured debt and borrowings under our credit facility. As a result, we did not record $20.2 million and $4.4 million of contractual interest expense related to our senior notes and borrowings under our credit facility, respectively Debtor Financial Statements .
