Hamilton, Bermuda, September 27, 2018 - Seadrill Limited ("Seadrill or the Company") has updated its Form F-1 Registration Statement to include its interim financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2018.  Both the updated Form F-1 and our Form 6-K interim financial results have been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

As previously announced, the Company will report its first set of financial results post emergence for the third quarter during November 2018 which will reflect the reorganization and fresh start reporting.

These statements are made based upon management's current plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs concerning future events impacting the Company and therefore involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this news release.

The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of these factors. Further, the Company cannot assess the impact of each such factor on its business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to be materially different from those contained in any forward looking statement.
