THE following companies saw new developments that may affect trading of their securities on Thursday (Oct 13):
Keppel (BN4): Keppel Offshore & Marine (Keppel O&M) will speed up the delivery of three out of five undelivered jackup rigs to Borr Drilling and defer the delivery of the remaining two rigs, according to a bourse filing by Keppel Corp on Wednesday (Oct 12).
This comes as Keppel O&M entered into an amended and restated framework deed with Borr Drilling and its subsidiaries to make the delivery to Borr Drilling or any third party whom Borr Drilling intends to sell the rigs to between October 2022 and July 2023.
All three jackup rigs will also be sold without any seller’s credit arrangement, after two of the three jackup rigs’ seller’s credit arrangements are cancelled.
