Item 2.06 Material Impairments
On June 19, 2024, a subsidiary of Transocean Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement (the “purchase agreement”) with a third party pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell the fifth generation ultra-deepwater floater Deepwater Nautilus and associated assets for $53.5 million. As part of our ongoing efforts to dispose of non-strategic assets, the Company decided on June 17, 2024, to authorize the sale of the rig and associated equipment, which the Company expects will result in an estimated non-cash charge for the second quarter 2024 ranging between $140 million and $150 million associated with the impairment of such assets. The Company expects to close the transaction contemplated by the purchase agreement in the third quarter of 2024.
