Nabors Announces Early Tender Results Of Cash Tender Offers For Senior Notes By Nabors Industries, Inc.

HAMILTON, Bermuda, June 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Nabors Industries Ltd. (NYSE: NBR) ("Nabors") announced today, in connection with the tender offers by its wholly owned subsidiary, Nabors Industries, Inc. ("Nabors Delaware"), the accepted amounts of its previously announced two separate offers to purchase for cash up to an aggregate principal amount equal to $275.0 million (the "Maximum Aggregate Amount") of the outstanding series of notes listed in the table below (collectively, the "Notes"), and in the case of the 4.625% Senior Notes due 2021 (the "2021 Notes"), a maximum aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million (the "Sub-Cap"). We refer to each offer to purchase a series of Notes for cash as an "Offer" and all the offers to purchase Notes, collectively, as the "Offers." The Offers are made on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated May 28, 2019 (as supplemented, the "Offer to Purchase").

The "Early Tender Time" was 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on June 10, 2019. Withdrawal rights for the Offers expired at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on June 10, 2019. The Offers will each expire at 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on June 24, 2019, unless extended or earlier terminated by Nabors Delaware (the "Expiration Date").

All conditions to the Offers were deemed satisfied by Nabors Delaware by the Early Tender Time or timely waived by Nabors Delaware. Accordingly, Nabors Delaware will settle all Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase, on June 14, 2019 (the "Early Settlement Date"). Because the aggregate principal amount of 5.0% Senior Notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes") validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time exceeded the Maximum Aggregate Amount, there will not be a Final Settlement Date, no 2021 Notes will be accepted for purchase and no Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time will be accepted for purchase.

In accordance with the terms and conditions in the Offer to Purchase, 2020 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time have been accepted for purchase using a proration factor of approximately 76.83 percent. None of the 2021 Notes will be accepted for purchase and all Notes which are not accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers will be promptly returned to Holders. The table below indicates, among other things, the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered in each Offer and accepted in each Offer:

The Total Consideration that will be paid on the Early Settlement Date for the 2020 Notes accepted for purchase does not include the applicable Accrued Interest (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), which will be paid, in cash, in addition to the Total Consideration.

Nabors Delaware has retained BofA Merrill Lynch to act as lead dealer manager for the Offers and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Mizuho Securities USA LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, MUFG Securities Americas Inc., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc. to act as co-dealer managers for the Offers.
