Commercial activity listed reflects all publicly announced contracts and option exercises since prior Fleet Status Report dated January 26, 2026.

The information contained in this fleet status report is as of the date of the report only and is subject to change without notice to the recipient, and we assume no duty to update any portion of the information contained herein. This fleet status report contains statements that are not historical facts, which are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the estimated duration of client contracts, contract dayrate amounts, future contract commencement and end dates, shipyard projects, project status, our business, financial performance, and prospects, the offshore drilling market and demand fundamentals, contract backlog, contract awards and expected future contracts, options or extensions on existing contracts, customer actions, needs and the general customer landscape, and fleet condition, utilization and strategy" . Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Various factors could cause actual results to differ materially. The following information should be read in conjunction with Noble Corporation plc's ("Noble") filings with the Securities & Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including its annual report on Form 10-K and its subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and in particular the description of, and assumptions with respect to, Noble's backlog and the associated risks as well as the other risk factors contained therein. Such filings are available on Noble's website at https://www.noblecorp.com and on the SEC's website at https://www.sec.gov.

Contract Backlog

The duration and timing (including both starting and ending dates) of the customer contracts are estimates only, and customer contracts are subject to cancellation, suspension, delays for a variety of reasons, and for certain customers, reallocation of term among contracted rigs, including some beyond Noble's control. The contract backlog represents the maximum contract drilling revenues that can be earned when only considering the contractual operating dayrate in effect during the firm contract period. The actual average dayrate will depend upon a number of factors (rig downtime, suspension of operations, etc.) including some beyond Noble's control. The dayrates do not include revenue for mobilizations, demobilizations, upgrades, contract preparation, shipyards or recharges, unless specifically otherwise stated. Dayrates may include revenue associated with performance, including, for example, approximately 40% assumed performance revenue realized on a combined basis under certain long-term contracts with Shell (US) and TotalEnergies (Suriname).
