Borr Drilling Pulls Off Massive Note Tender as BORR Stock Bleeds
Borr Drilling, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Borr IHC Limited, launched a tender offer targeting two series of outstanding senior secured notes. The offer covered $1.13 billion in 10.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 and $770.65 million in 10.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2030. These instruments formed the backbone of the company’s existing debt structure.
Noteholders responded strongly, with 95.92% of 2028 noteholders and 90.56% of 2030 noteholders tendering their holdings before the June 8 deadline. In total, 93.84% of outstanding aggregate principal tendered, far exceeding the required thresholds. This high participation rate activated key provisions under the existing indenture, including a forced redemption of all remaining notes.
Because both series crossed the 90% tender threshold, Borr IHC will redeem all remaining outstanding notes after the early settlement date. The redemption price will match the tender offer consideration, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The company expects to issue formal redemption notices on or shortly after June 10, 2026.
New Notes Offering Funds the Restructuring as BORR Shifts Its Debt Timeline
To finance the buyback, Borr IHC priced a new notes offering on May 27, 2026, totaling over $2 billion. The deal comprised $1.1 billion in 8.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2032 and $935 million in 9.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2034. Closing of the new notes offering is set for June 10, 2026, subject to standard closing conditions.
The new notes carry lower coupons than the instruments they replace, signaling a strategic move to reduce near-term debt costs. The supplemental indentures executed on June 8 removed substantially all protective covenants from the existing notes. This shift stripped collateral liens and key obligations, effectively clearing the path for the new capital structure.
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. is serving as dealer manager and solicitation agent for the transaction. Global Bondholder Services Corporation is acting as tender agent, information agent, and tabulation agent. BORR stock now trades well below its intraday high of $5.10, as the market digests the full weight of the restructuring.
