As previously reported, on February 14, 2016, Paragon Offshore plc (the “ Company ”) and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “ Debtors ”) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “ Bankruptcy Cases ”) under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “ Bankruptcy Court ”).

In connection with the Bankruptcy Cases, on March 24, 2016, the Debtors filed an amended plan of reorganization (the “ Amended Plan ”) and disclosure statement (the “ Amended Disclosure Statement ”) with the Bankruptcy Court. Copies of the Amended Plan and Amended Disclosure Statement are available at http://www.kccllc.net/paragon . The Amended Disclosure Statement includes the revised financial projections and valuation analysis of the Company. In addition, the Amended Disclosure Statement amended two risk factors contained therein. A copy of the Company’s revised financial projections contained in the Amended Disclosure Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 , a copy of the Company’s revised valuation analysis contained in the Amended Disclosure Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and a copy of the amended risk factors contained in the Amended Disclosure Statement are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3 .
