  4. 1 SUMMARY Summaries are made up o f disclosure requirements known as ‘Elements’. These elements are numbered in Sections A – E (A.1 – E.7). This summary contains all the Elements required to be included in a summary for this type of securities and Issuer. Because some Elements are not required to be addressed, there may be gaps in the numbering sequence of the Elements. Even though an Element may be required to be inserted in the summary because of the type of securities and Issuer, it is possible that no relevant information can be given regarding the Element. In this case a short description of the Element is included in the summary with the mention of ‘not applicable’. Section A – Introduction and warnings A.1 Warning to prospective Prospective investors should be warned that: investors  this summary should be read as introduction to the prospectus;  any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a whole by the investor;  where a claim relating to the information contained in the prospectus is brought before a court, the plaintiff investor might, under the national legislation of the Member States, have to bear the costs of translating the prospectus before the legal proceedings are initiated; and  civil liability attaches only to those persons who have tabled the summary including any translation thereof, but only if the summary is misleading, inaccurate or inconsistent when read together with the other parts of the prospectus or it does not provide, when read together with the other parts of the prospectus, key information in order to aid investors when considering whether to invest in such securities. A.2 Consent to use of Not applicable prospectus by financial intermediaries Section B - Issuer B.1 Legal and commercial Songa Offshore SE, being the group parent company for the name companies referred to as Songa Offshore B.2 Domicile, legal form, etc. Songa Offshore SE is a European public company limited by shares organised under the laws of the Republic of Cyprus, with registration number SE 9. 1

  5. B.3 Nature of operations and Songa Offshore is a group of companies whose principal activities business is to construct, own and operate offshore drilling rigs to be used in the exploration and production of hydrocarbons. Songa Offshore owns five semisubmersible drilling rigs and has four additional semisubmersible drilling rigs under construction, for planned delivery in 2014 and 2015. Three of the existing rigs, and all of the four rigs under construction, are contracted for long term employment in Norwegian waters, with Statoil as charterer. These rigs have an aggregate contract backlog of approximately USD 6.7 billion, with options corresponding to approximately USD 8.2 billion of additional revenues. The two remaining existing rigs are currently on short term employment in South East Asian waters. Songa Offshore intends to sell these rigs to focus on its core business in the Norwegian sector. B.4 Trends In light of the long term contract base for the majority of Songa Offshore’s drilling rigs , Songa Offshore is less affected by short term trends in the drilling rig market. In a longer perspective, however, Songa Offshore is exposed to the general trends affecting drilling rigs. Songa Offshore believes that the Norwegian sector drilling market will continue to give good employment opportunities for its drilling rigs in the foreseeable future. B.5 Group description Songa Offshore SE is the group parent company for the companies referred to as Songa Offshore. The group has active subsidiaries incorporated in Cyprus, Norway, Singapore, and Malaysia, as well as branches in Bermuda and Norway. The principal place of business is in Cyprus (Limassol).

In addition, as part of re-negotiated contract terms for Songa Offshore’s C AT-D rigs, Songa Offshore has repaid USD 111 million of debt owed to Statoil. Songa Offshore has also repaid USD 50 million of debt owed 3

  7. to Swedbank. Events under the ordinary course of business have not given significant changes to Songa Offshore’s financial condition and operating result since the end of the last reporting period. B.8 Pro forma financial Not applicable information B.9 Profit forecasts Not applicable B.10 Auditor qualifications No qualifications were expressed by auditors in respect of the accounts for 2012, 2011, or 2010. B.11 Working capital In the view of the Company, Songa Offshore does not as of deficiency the date of this Prospectus have sufficient working capital for its present requirements, being understood as its requirements over the next minimum 12 months from the date of this Prospectus. Songa Offshore anticipates that it will have an aggregate funding requirement of approximately USD 1.2 billion over the next 12 months to take delivery of the first two CAT-D rigs and to meet its other requirements, including cash buffers. Beyond the first 12 months, Songa Offshore anticipates that it will have a further funding requirement of approximately USD 1.0 billion to take delivery of the last two CAT-D rigs. Songa Offshore expects to debt finance approximately USD 1.0 billion against security in the first two CAT-D rigs, and believes that similar or higher debt financing can be obtained for the last two CAT-D rigs. The amounts in respect of each CAT-D rig will be required to be in place upon the respective delivery dates for each rig, with the first CAT-D rig being due for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2014. It is expected that the intended sale of “Songa Venus” and “Songa Mercur” will cover the balance of the financing requirement, but no agreement has been concluded for the sale of these rigs. The failure to complete the anticipated debt financing in respect of the CAT- D rigs, or the failure to sell “Songa Venus” and “Songa Mercur” at prices deemed satisfactory, would leave a financing shortfall which could have severe implication on Songa Offshore and which could result in the need for significant amounts of additional equity, which may not be available at that time. The Company has not as of today made specific alternative plans to cover such potential shortfall, although under those circumstances alternatives 4

  8. may exist to sell one or more of the CAT-D rigs to relieve the Group of its funding requirements, or to sell one or more of the existing North Sea rigs, or to make other financing arrangements. In the event that none of these financing arrangements come in place, it would have a significant negative effect on the Company’s financing situation and its ability to continue operations.

E.2 Reasons for the offer and The Subsequent Offering is being made as a repair offering use of proceeds with subscription rights for Eligible Shareholders. On 25 November 2013, the Company announced its plans for the Refinancing by way of raising up to USD 425 million in new capital by way of a combination of (i) the Private Placement, a fully guaranteed equity issue through a private placement with gross proceeds in the amount of NOK 1,525 million (approximately USD 250 million), in combination with the Subsequent Offering, and (ii) the Convertible Bond Issue, an issue of the Convertible Bond through a private placement of bonds with gross proceeds in the amount of USD 150 million.

  14. 2 RISK FACTORS Investing in the Shares or the Convertible Bonds issued by the Company (together, the “ Securities ”) involves inherent risks. Before deciding whether or not to invest in the Securities, a prospective investor should consider carefully all of the information set forth in this Prospectus, and in particular, the specific risk factors set out below. An investment in the Securities is suitable only for investors who understand the risk factors associated with this type of investment and who can afford a loss of all or part of the investment, without notice. If any of the risks described below materialise, individually or together with other circumstances, they may have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, revenues, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flow, which may cause a decline in the value and trading price of the Shares and the Convertible Bonds as well as impairing the Company's ability to meet its obligations (including the payment of principal and interest) under the Convertible Bonds and other financial indebtedness of the Company and which could result in a loss of all or part of any investment in the Shares or the Convertible Bonds. The order in which the risks are presented below is not intended to provide an indication of the likelihood of their occurrence nor of their severity or significance. 2.1 Risks relating to the industry in which the Group operates Oil and gas prices 2.1.1 The profitability and cash flow of the Group’s operations will depend upon the market price of oil and gas, which in turn is af fected by numerous factors beyond the Group’s control, including , but not limited to, worldwide economic and political conditions, levels of supply and demand, the policies of OPEC (the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries), advances in exploration and development technology, and the availability and exploitation of alternate fuel sources. Oil and gas commodity prices have been high and have therefore increased the cost of oilfield goods and services worldwide and in the countries in which the Group operates. A substantial or prolonged decrease in oil prices could cause a delay or depress exploration, development and production activity, which could lead to a lower utilisation of rigs. Each of these factors could have a material adverse effect on th e Group’s results of operations and profitability. 2.1.2 Oversupply of drilling units in the industry The offshore drilling industry is highly competitive with numerous industry participants. Drilling contracts are traditionally awarded on a competitive bid basis, where intense price competition is one of the primary factors, together with the quality and technical capability of service and equipment. The industry has historically been cyclical and is impacted by oil and gas price levels and volatility. There have been periods of high demand, short rig supply and high dayrates, followed by periods of low demand, excess rig supply and low dayrates. Any excess in the supply of drilling units in the industry is affected by, inter alia, assessments of the demand for these units by oil and drilling companies. Any over-estimation of the demand may result in an excess supply of new drilling units. During prior periods of high utilisation and dayrates, industry participants have increased the supply of rigs by ordering the construction of new units. This has often created an oversupply of rigs and has caused a decline in utilisation and low dayrates. The entry into service of newly constructed, upgraded or reactivated units will increase marketed supply and could reduce, or curtail a strengthening of, dayrates in the affected markets. In addition, the new construction of high specification rigs, as well as changes in the drilling rig fleets 11

  15. of the Group ’s competitors, could require the Group to make material additional capital investments to keep its rig fleet competitive. Excess supply could result, when existing contracts expire or are otherwise terminated, in lower contract rates, which could have a material adverse effect on the business and results of operations of the Group. Reliance on customers and third parties The Group provides offshore drilling services to a customer base that includes major integrated oil and natural gas companies, state-owned national oil and natural gas companies and independent oil and natural gas companies. As of 30 September 2013, the Group’s largest customer (Statoil) 2.1.3 accounted for the majority of the consolidated operating revenues, representing 99% of the contract revenue backlog of the Group. Rigs operating in the North Atlantic basin are entirely contracted with Statoil. While it is expected that Statoil will continue to be a significant customer going forward, there can be no assurance that this will be the case, and a discontinuation of the cooperation with major customers could have a m aterial adverse effect on the Group’s financial position and future prospects. The Group relies on third party suppliers, manufacturers and service providers. A failure by one or more of these third parties to satisfactorily provide, on a timely basis, the agreed upon equipment or services may have an adverse impact on the Group ’s ability to perform its obligations under drilling contracts. Such performance deficiencies could expose the Group to liability and have a material adverse effect on the ability to compete for future drilling contracts. These risks could result in reduced revenue or, in some cases, significant losses for the Group, which would have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial position and /or results of operations. International operations and risks of external disturbances 2.1.4 Many aspects of the Company’s operations are affected by governmental laws and regulations that may relate directly or indirectly to the contract drilling and well servicing industries, including those requiring it to obtain and maintain specified permits or other governmental approvals and to control the discharge of oil and other contaminants into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. Many governments favor or effectively require the awarding of drilling contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction. These practices may adversely affect the Group’s ability to compete. In addition, the Company is, or may in the future be, subject to or affected by governmental laws and regulations related to the equipping and operation of rigs, repatriation of foreign earnings, oil exploration and development, taxation of offshore earnings and earnings of expatriate personnel and the use and compensation of local employees and suppliers by foreign contractors. As the Group conducts operations in a variety of jurisdictions, it is subject to multiple regulatory risks. Changes in applicable laws or regulations or in the interpretation or enforcement of such laws or regulations could require the Group to modify the manner in which it operates, increase the costs of its operations, require significant capital expenditures or to curtail aspects of its operations. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the Group ’s financial condition and results of operations. There are risks inherent in doing business internationally. These include unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations, social and political instability, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, potentially adverse tax consequences, legal uncertainties regarding liability and enforcement, and changes in local laws and controls on the repatriation of capital or profits. Any of these risks could materially affect the Group ’s overseas operations and, consequently, the financial position and profit of the Group. 12

  16. The members of the Group and their respective operations are located in a number of jurisdictions worldwide. Tax rules may be amended on short notice and the Group may become subject to taxation in new jurisdictions. Thus, although the Group may, to some extent, predict future taxation of the Group based on this current business, it is impossible to foresee with certainty the future level of taxation. War, military tension and terrorist attacks have among other things caused instability in the world’s financial and commercial markets. This has in turn significantly increased political and economic instability in some of the geographic markets in which the Group operates (or may operate in the future), and has contributed to high levels of volatility in prices for among other things oil and gas. In addition, acts of terrorism and threats of armed conflicts in or around various areas in which the Group operates (or may operate in the future), and piracy or assaults on property or personnel, kidnapping of personnel and changing political conditions could limit or disrupt the Group ’s markets and operations, including by causing disruptions of oil exploration and production activities, loss, arrest or requisitioning of the fleet, loss or evacuation of personnel, cancellation of contracts, restriction of the movement and exchange of funds o r limitation of the Group’s access to markets for periods of time. Armed conflicts, terrorism and their effects on the Company, the Group or its markets may have a significant adverse affect on the Group ’s business and results of operations in the future. Market volatility 2.1.5 The world’s principal financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and disruption for more than three years, due in large part to the turmoil affecting the liquidity of the banking system and the market reaction thereto. These adverse market conditions have led to, and could lead to further, significant trading losses and write-downs by banks and other financial institutions. It is unclear whether the severity of the downturn in the global financial markets and/or economic conditions will continue to worsen, or when conditions might improve. It is difficult for the Group to predict what the impact of continued market turbulence will be on the Group from a general business perspective or from a capital or liquidity perspective. The recent credit crisis adversely affected lenders globally. Any future credit crisis or deterioration of the credit markets could affect lenders participating in the Group ’s credit facilities, making them unable to fulfill their commitments and obligations to the Group. Any reductions in drilling activity owing to such conditions or failure by the Group ’s customers, suppliers or lenders to meet their contractual obligations to the Group could adversely affect its financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows. 2.2.1 2.2 Risks factors relating to the Group and its business Project risk It is customary in the business in which the Group operates that all contracts are charter related, e.g. structured as time charters or bareboat charters. The rationale for this is that oil service companies provide a service where the schedule and scope of work is controlled and ultimately directed by its customers. In some instances market participants may accept fixed prices for certain components of the overall contract work scope. Such instances include mobilisation and demobilisation of a unit to/from a worksite, and the conversion/upgrade of units to meet specific requirements as may be required for a specific project. The Group ’s corporate policy is to seek to mitigate project risk at all times by having a strict policy on termination risk, breakdown risk, off-hire situations, force majeure risk etc. 13

  17. However, there can be made no assurance that the Group will be able to sufficiently mitigate these project risks. Insurance and uninsured risk Operational risks can inter alia cause personal injury, the loss of a unit, operational disruption, off hire and termination of contract. In order to mitigate these risks, the Group has instigated an insurance program in line with market practice, and additional insurance is always considered when 2.2.2 a specific project is considered to be of a high risk nature. However, the Group has no loss off hire protection, and there can be no assurance that other potential damages or claims towards the Company or the Group will be covered by the Group's insurance program. Pollution and environmental risks generally are not fully insurable, and the Group does not typically retain loss-of-hire insurance policies to cover its rigs. The Group ’s insurance policies and contractual rights to indemnity may not adequately cover the Group ’s losses, or may have exclusions of coverage for some losses. The Group does not have insurance coverage or rights to indemnity for all risks, including, among other things, liability risk for certain amounts of excess coverage and certain physical damage risk. If a significant accident or other event occurs which is not fully covered by insurance or contractual indemnity, it could adversely affect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Group. Vessel operation 2.2.3 The Group has a limited number of rigs and is vulnerable in the event of a loss of revenue from any of these rigs. The Group’s fleet is exposed to operational risks associated with offshore operations such as breakdown, bad weather, technical problems, force majeure situations (e.g. nationwide strikes), collisions, grounding and similar events, which may have a material adverse effect on the earnings and value of the Group. The drilling fleet of the Group is heavily concentrated in the semi-submersible rig market. If demand for semi-submersible rigs were to decline relative to demand for other drilling rig types, the operating results of the Group could be adversely affected. Moreover, as the Grou p’s fleet is configured to operate in the midwater segment, a reduction in demand for mid-water drilling would have an adverse effect on the Group. It would also be adversely affected by a reduction in demand for deep-water drilling, as some rigs configured for the deep-water segment (typically those equipped with mooring systems) can also operate in the midwater segment, thereby increasing the number of rigs operating in the midwater segment. Some of the Group ’s competitors have semi -submersible rigs with generally higher specifications than those in the current fleet of the Group. While the Group does not believe that all higher specification rigs are suited to the midwater segment of the drilling industry, particularly during market downturns when there is decreased rig demand, some higher specification rigs may be more likely to compete with the Group’s rigs in obtaining drilling contracts in the segment in which the Group operates. In addition, higher specification rigs may be more adaptable to different operating conditions and have greater flexibility to move to areas of demand in response to changes in market conditions. Furthermore, in recent years, an increasing amount of exploration and production expenditures have been concentrated in deeper water drilling programs and deeper formations, thereby requiring higher specification rigs. This trend is expected to continue and could result in a material decline in demand for the lower specification rigs in the Group’s fleet . 14

  18. Charter risks The Group provides its services on the basis of drilling contracts that are awarded through competitive bidding or to a lesser extent through direct negotiations with oil companies. These contracts typically have terms of between one and five years (although for the Group ’s CAT -D rigs 2.2.4 the contracts are for eight years with four optional periods of three years each) or they can be for a specific number of wells. Most of the Group’s rigs are contracted to one customer, and a discontinued cooperation between the Group and the customer could lead to a termination of most, or all, charter agreements. The ability of the Group to renew contracts or obtain new contracts and the terms of any such contracts will depend, among other things, on market conditions, the specifications, suitability and deployment potential of its rigs, and the contractual terms, including dayrates, that the Group agrees to operate under. The Group may be unable to renew expiring contracts or obtain new contracts for its rigs under contracts that have expired or been terminated, and the dayrates under any new contracts may be substantially below existing dayrates, which could materially reduce the revenues and profitability of the Group. The Company can provide no assurance that the Group will be able to perform under its contracts due to events beyond its control or that the Group will be able to ultimately execute a definitive agreement in cases where one does not currently exist. In addition, the Group can provide no assurance that its customers will be able to or willing to fulfill their contractual commitments to the Group. The Group can provide no assurance that the contracts included in the contract revenue backlog will generate the specified revenues or that the specified revenues will in fact be generated during the periods indicated. The duration of offshore drilling contracts is generally determined by customer requirements and, to a lesser extent, the respective management strategies of the offshore drilling contractors. In periods of rising demand for offshore rigs, contractors typically prefer shorter contracts that allow them to more quickly profit from increasing dayrates. In contrast, during these periods customers with reasonably definite drilling programs typically prefer longer-term contracts to maintain dayrate prices at a consistent level. Conversely, in periods of decreasing demand for offshore rigs, contractors generally prefer longer-term contracts, but often at flat or slightly lower dayrates, to preserve dayrates at existing levels and ensure utilisation, while customers prefer shorter contracts that allow them to more quickly obtain the benefit of lower dayrates. To the extent possible within the scope of the requirements of the Group ’s customers, the Group seeks to have a foundation of long-term contracts with a reasonable balance of shorter-term exposure to the spot market in an attempt to maintain upside potential while endeavouring to limit the downside impact of a decline in the market. However, the Group can provide no assurance that it will be able to achieve or maintain such a balance from time to time. The inability to maintain such a balance could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operation of the Group. Currently, all of the Group’s contra cts with customers are dayrate contracts. While the Group plans to continue to perform services on a dayrate basis, market conditions may dictate that the Group enters into footage contracts (where the Group is paid a fixed amount for each foot drilled regardless of the time required or the problems encountered in drilling the well) or turnkey contracts (whereby the Group agrees to drill a well to a specific depth for a fixed price and bear some of the well equipment costs). These types of contracts are subject to greater risks than dayrate contracts as the Group would be subject to downhole geological conditions in the well that cannot always be accurately determined and subject the Group to greater risks associated with equipment and downhole tool failures. Unfavorable downhole geologic conditions and equipment and downhole tool failures may result in significant cost increases or may result in a decision to 15

  19. abandon a well project, which would result in the Group not being able to invoice revenues for providing services. The Group’s financial condition, operating results and cash flows could be materially adversely affected by early termination of contracts, contract renegotiations or cessation of dayrates under any of the foregoing circumstances. Construction risk The Group has been awarded four marine drilling contracts with Statoil for the CAT-D rigs. The rigs are currently under construction by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd. in South 2.2.5 Korea. Although the construction contracts are entered into on a turnkey basis and on a back-to- back basis with respect to the specifications outlined by Statoil, the Group has taken on some interface risk and project management. Delays have occurred, and there can be no assurances that further delays or cost-overruns will not occur and such events, if occurring, could lead to the cancellation of the marine drilling contracts with Statoil and have a material adverse impact on the financial position and/or results of operations of the Group. Mobilisation risk Mobilisation of rigs involves a number of risks which can cause damage to the rigs and/or result in 2.2.6 delays in start-up. The Company's rigs could be subject to capsizing, sinking, grounding, collision, damage from severe weather and marine life infestations. In addition regulatory approval in Norway and acceptance testing could result in delays. The Company will also be relying on third party equipment in connection with mobilisation, and the quality and timeliness of such third party deliveries will often be outside the Company's control. Risk of accidents 2.2.7 Offshore drilling units may work in harsh environments. The Group’s operations are subject to the usual hazards inherent in drilling for oil offshore, such as breakdowns of vessels, blowouts, reservoir damage, loss of production, loss of well control, punch-throughs, craterings, groundings, collisions, fires, adverse weather conditions and natural disasters such as cyclones, storms and hurricanes. The Group’s operations are also subject to accidents, which could be caused by various factors, including human error, adverse weather conditions or faulty construction. The occurrence of any of these events could result in the suspension of drilling operations, damage to or destruction of the equipment involved and injury or death to rig personnel, damage to producing or potentially productive oil formations and environmental damage. Operations also may be suspended because of machinery breakdowns, abnormal drilling conditions, failure of subcontractors to perform or supply goods or services or personnel shortages. In addition, offshore drilling operators are subject to perils peculiar to marine operations, including capsizing, grounding, collision and loss or damage from severe weather. Damage to the environment could also result from its operations, particularly through oil spillage, extensive uncontrolled fires or a spill, leak or accident involving other hazardous substances that are stored on a rig. The Group may also be subject to damage claims by oil and gas companies or other parties. An accident can have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial condition, and there can be no assurance that the Group will have sufficient insurance against such losses and/or expenses. Vessel operations are further subject to potential environmental liabilities which could be substantial. Such liabilities are 2.2.8 difficult to estimate as the scope and amount of liability would, inter alia, depend on where the vessels are operated at the time when environmental damages occur. Service life and technical risk The service life of a rig and/or vessel is generally assumed to be more than 40 years, but will ultimately depend on its efficiency. There can be no assurance that the Group ’s drilling units will be 16

  20. successfully deployed for such period of time. Although the Group has four high specification midwater semi-submersible rigs under construction, the remaining five rigs were all built in the 1970s and 1980s. The capital associated with the repair and maintenance of each rig increases with age. In addition, there may be technical and environmental risks associated with ageing rigs, including operational problems and regulatory requirements leading to unexpectedly high operating/maintenance costs and/or lost earnings, and which may have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group. Unexpected repair costs The timing and costs of repairs on the Group ’s drilling units are difficult to predict with certainty and may be substantial. Many of these expenses, such as dry-docking and certain repairs for 2.2.9 normal wear and tear, are typically not covered by insurance. Large repair expenses could decrease the Group’s profits. In addition, repair time may imply a loss of revenue for the Group. Key personnel for operations and profitability The Group ’s ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate key personnel, and other senior 2.2.10 members of the management team and experienced personnel will have an impact on the Company’s operations. The competition for such employees is i ntense, and the loss of the services of one or more of these individuals without adequate replacements or the inability to attract new qualified personnel at a reasonable cost could have a material adverse effect. If increased competition for qualified personnel were to intensify in the future, the Group may experience increases in costs or limits on operations. 2.3 Risks relating to the Group’s financial situation General financial risk 2.3.1 The Group is facing a challenging financial position due to, inter alia, the level of capital needed to finance its rigs under construction. The Group monitors and manages the financial risks related to the operations of the Group through internal reports and analysis. However, the Group is exposed to various risks such as market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk, and no assurances can be given that the monitoring of such risks will be adequate or sufficient. 2.3.2 The Group has a significant amount of third party indebtedness The Group has a significant amount of third party indebtedness. A breach of the terms of the Group’s loan agreements may cause the lenders to require repayment of the financing immediately and to enforce the s ecurity granted over substantially all of the Group’s assets, including its rigs. If the Group’s operating cash flows are not sufficient to meet its operating expenses and the debt payment obligations of the Group, the Group may be forced to do one or more of the following: (i) delay or reduce capital expenditures; (ii) sell certain of its assets; and/or (iii) forego business 2.3.3 opportunities. The Group has exposure for financial covenants The Group’s credit and borrowing facilities contain financial and other covenants. There can be no assurance that the Group will be able to meet all such covenants relating to current or future indebtedness contained in its funding agreements or that its lenders will extend waivers or amend terms to avoid any actual or anticipated breaches of such covenants. Failure to comply with its financial and other covenants may have an adverse affect on the Group’s financial condition, and also potential increased financial costs, requirements for additional security or cancellation of loans. 17

  21. Market risk management and foreign currency risk management USD is the functional currency of the Company and all its subsidiaries. The Group is exposed to foreign currency risks related to its operations. The Group’s expenses are primarily in USD a nd NOK. As such, the Group’s earnings are exposed to fluctuations in the foreign currency market for 2.3.4 NOK in relation to USD. The Company will attempt to minimise these risks by implementing hedging arrangements as appropriate, and uses the foreign currency spot and forward market to buy foreign currencies. The Group is mainly exposed to the currency of Norway (NOK). In addition, to a lesser extent, the Group is exposed to the currencies of Malaysia (MYR), Singapore (SGD), South Korea (KRW), the United Kingdom (GBP) and the European currency (EUR). Contracts are entered into when treasury finds it in line with the overall currency risk strategy. The Group enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risk, including but not limited to forward exchange contracts to hedge the exchange rate risk arising on debt in foreign currency Interest rate risk management The Group is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates for USD. A major part of the Group’s interest 2.3.5 costs on its bank loans are subject to floating interest rate (LIBOR) plus a margin. Consequently, the Group is exposed to fluctuation in interest rates. The risk is managed by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings and by the use of interest rate swap contracts. Credit risk management 2.3.6 Due to the nature of the Group’s operations, revenues and related receivables are typically concentrated amongst a relatively small customer base of international oil and gas companies. The majority of the revenues are generated by contracts with Statoil, which has a credit rating of AA-. The Company continually evaluates the credit risk associated with customers and, when considered necessary, requires certain guarantees, either in the form of parent company guarantees, bank guarantees or escrow accounts. The maximum credit risk is equal to the capitalised value of trade receivables and incurred revenue not billed. 2.3.7 Availability of funding The Group is dependent upon having access to long term funding. There can be no assurance that the Group may not experience net cash flow shortfalls exceeding the Group ’s available funding sources nor can there be any assurance that the Group will be able to raise new equity, or arrange new borrowing facilities, on favorable terms and in amounts necessary to conduct its ongoing and future operations, should this be required. Songa Offshore anticipates that it will have an aggregate funding requirement of approximately USD 1.2 billion over the next 12 months to take delivery of the first two CAT-D rigs and to meet its other requirements, including cash buffers. Beyond the first 12 months, Songa Offshore anticipates that it will have a further funding requirement of approximately USD 1.0 billion to take delivery of the last two CAT-D rigs. Songa Offshore expects to debt finance approximately USD 1.0 billion against security in the first two CAT-D rigs, and believes that similar or higher debt financing can be obtained for the last two CAT-D rigs. The amounts in respect of each CAT-D rig will be required to be in place upon the 18

  22. respective delivery dates for each rig, with the first CAT-D rig being due for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2014. It is expected that the intended sale of “Songa Venus” and “Songa Mercur” will cover the balance of the financing requirement, but no agreement has been concluded for the sale of these rigs. The failure to complete the anticipated debt financing in respect of the CAT-D rigs, or the failure to sell “Songa Venus” and “Songa Mercur” at prices deemed satisfactory, would leave a financing shortfall which could have severe implication on Songa Offshore and which could result in the need for significant amounts of additional equity, which may not be available at that time. The Company has not as of today made specific alternative plans to cover such potential shortfall, although under those circumstances alternatives may exist to sell one or more of the CAT-D rigs to relieve the Group of its funding requirements, or to sell one or more of the existing North Sea rigs, or to make other financing arrangements. In the event that none of these financing arrangements come in place, it would have a significant negative effect on the Company’s financing situation and its ability to continue operations. Borrowing and leverage To the extent income derived from assets obtained with borrowed funds exceeds the interest and 2.3.8 other expenses that the Group will have to pay, the Group’s net income will be greater than if borrowings were not made. Conversely, if the income from the assets obtained with borrowed funds is insufficient to cover the cost of such borrowings, the net income of the Group will be less than if borrowings were not made. The Group will borrow only when it is believed that such borrowings will benefit the Group and the Group after taking into account considerations such as the costs of the borrowing and the likely returns on the assets purchased with the borrowed monies, but no assurances can be given that the Group will be successful in this respect. 2.3.9 Value of the drilling units and market rates The value of the drilling units owned by the Group may fluctuate with market conditions. A downturn in the market could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s liquidity and may result in breaches of the financial covenants in its loan agreements. In such a case, sales of the Group ’s drilling units could be forced at prices that represent a potential loss of value. 2.3.10 Redomiciliation to Cyprus in 2009 – Exit tax According to the Norwegian Tax Act Section 10-71 in 2009, a company that emigrates and ceases to be tax resident in Norway is subject to exit tax. The exit tax is calculated on any potential gain related to the assets, rights and liabilities that the exiting company owned the day preceding the redomiciliation. The capital gain/loss would be calculated as if the assets, rights and liabilities were realised for tax purposes at this time. In contrast, capital gains on assets or shares of similar domestic transactions are not taxable until they are realised. The Company redomiciled from Norway to Cyprus in May 2009. In the tax return the Company maintained the view that no exit tax should apply. In the event that the Company has to pay immediate exit tax, the Company estimates that the tax can be offset against available losses which have been mostly recognised as deferred tax asset and which can be used and set off against future profit. In 2010, the tax office notified the Company that it is considering assessing an exit tax, and the matter remains unresolved. The Group has been advised that the Norwegian exit tax rules in 2009 are in conflict with the European Economic Area (“ EEA ”) Agreement with respect to the principle of freedom of establishment. The Company therefore filed a complaint with the EFTA Surveillance Authority, who sent a "reason opinion" to the Norwegian Ministry of Finance on 2 March 2011 for failing to comply 19

  23. with its obligations under the EEA Agreement by imposing an immediate tax on companies, or the shareholders of companies, that transfer their seat to another EEA State. As a consequence, with effect from 2011, the tax liability on owner and company level for companies relocating to normal (not low tax) tax countries within the EEA was dismantled. Assets that are taken out of the Norwegian area of taxation will be governed by the Tax Act Section 9-14, whereby a payment of the assessed tax for physical assets can be deferred until the time when the gains are actually realised. The Company is of the opinion that its redomiciliation to Cyprus in 2009 will not result in immediate taxation. This view is supported by National Grid (C-371/10) and Arcade Drilling (E 15/11). In the event that the Company has to pay immediate exit tax, the Company estimates that the tax can be offset against available losses. No provision has been made in its financial statement for any such potential tax liability. Australian withholding tax The Austrialian tax commissioner (the “Commissioner”) has served a notice of withholding tax 2.3.11 payable for AUD 31.1 million for the 2009 income year and imposed a shortfall penalty for AUD 7.8 million. The withholding tax payable and shortfall penalty are subject to general interest charge. As at 1 Nov 2013 the total contingent liability is AUD 58.4 million. Songa Offshore strongly disputes the determination made by the Commissioner. Songa has received legal advice and the Group believes it will ultimately prevail in this matter. As such, Songa Offshore has not made any provisions in its financial statement at 31 December 2012. On October 26, 2013 the Commissioner advised that it has dismissed Songa Offshore’s objection toward the Part IVA determination. Songa Offshore lodged an appeal against the Commissioners decision with the Federal Court of Australia on December 23, 2013. A scheduling conference will be held on February 14, 2014 where Songa Offshore will present its case to the presiding justice and a date will be set for a court hearing, estimated to be at the end of Q2 2014. Songa Offshore, through its legal representatives, has entered negotiations with the Commissioner in relation to arrangements to secure the liability during the objection period and any Federal Court. 2.3.12 Australian tax issue on transfer pricing and depreciation The Australian Tax Off ice (the “ATO”) disputes certain transfer pricing and depreciation matters. In September 2013, the ATO issued amended assessments based on its review, resulting in a tax claim of AUD 8.4 million. Songa Offshore has formally commenced negotiations with the ATO to consider settlement of both matters. On October 11th, 2013, Songa Offshore forwarded a letter to the ATO offering AUD 151,000 (net of Songa Offshore’s claim for AUD 1.7m of overpaid corporate income tax) in full settlement. Songa Offshore has also reserved its rights, in case of failure to reach a settlement with the ATO. Negotiations have been held during January, 2014. Up to the date of this prospectus, the ATO has accepted the additional information presented by Songa Offshore and has significantly reduced the amount of the amended assessment. However, Songa Offshore is of the opinion that for the final assessment, the ATO has yet to consider certain concessions on interest rates requested by Songa Offshore, Songa Offshore’s correction of deprecia tion position and the amount of erroneously paid withholding tax made by Songa Offshore, all of which will potentially reduce the claimed tax amount. Songa Offshore will continue to negotiate with the ATO and expects to have the matter resolved in the near future. 20

  24. 2.4 Risks relating to the Shares and the Convertible Bonds The market price of the Shares may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors The share price of publicly traded companies can be highly volatile, and the shares of the Company have been subject to substantial volatility. The price at which the Shares may be quoted and the 2.4.1 price which shareholders may realise for their Shares will be influenced by a large number of factors, some specific to the Group and its operations and some which may affect the industry as a whole or stock exchange listed companies generally. These factors include those referred to in this Section 2 “ Risk factors ” , as well as the Group’s financial performance, the impact of shareholders being released from lock-in restrictions, stock market fluctuations and general economic conditions. Share price volatility arising from such factors may adversely affect the value of an investment in the Shares. The market price of the Shares may not reflect the underlying value of the Group ’s net assets. The trading price of the Shares could fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors beyond the Group ’s control, including, bu t not limited to, quarterly variations in operating results, adverse business developments, changes in financial estimates and investment recommendations or ratings by securities analysts, or any other risk discussed herein materializing or the anticipation of such risk materializing. In recent years, the global stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant impact on the market price of securities issued by many companies. Those changes may occur without regard to the operating performance of these companies. The price of the Company’s Shares may therefore fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with the Group, and these fluctuations may materially affect the price of its Shares. 2.4.2 Future sales of Shares by the Company’s major shareholder or any of its primary insiders may depress the price of the Shares The market price of the Shares could decline as a result of sales of a large number of Shares in the market or the perception that such sales could occur, or any sale of Shares by any of the Company’s major shareholders or primary insiders from time to time. Such sales, or the possibility that such sales may occur, might also make it more difficult for the Company to issue or sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price it deems appropriate. 2.4.3 Liquidity of the Shares and the Convertible Bonds Following the Private Placement, at least 50.1% of the share capital of the Company will be controlled by one shareholder. This may limit the Shares’ liquidity in the trading market, which could have an adverse effect on the then prevailing market price for the Shares. In addition, the interests of the largest shareholder will not necessarily always be aligned with minority shareholders of the Company. No liquid market currently exists for trading of the Convertible 2.4.4 Bonds and it is not possible to predict whether, if the Convertible Bonds are listed on the Oslo Børs, this will provide satisfactory liquidity. Shareholders may not be able to exercise their voting rights for Shares registered in a nominee account Beneficial owners of the Shares that are registered in a nominee account or otherwise through a nominee arrangement (such as through brokers, dealers or other third parties) may not be able to exercise voting rights and other shareholder rights as readily as shareholders whose Shares are registered in their own names with the VPS prior to the Company’s General Meetings. The 21

  25. Company cannot guarantee that beneficial owners of the Shares will receive the notice for a general meeting in time to instruct their nominees to either effect a re-registration of their Shares or otherwise vote their Shares in the manner desired by such beneficial owners. Any persons that hold their shares through a nominee arrangement, should consult with the nominee to ensure that any Shares beneficially held are voted in the manner desired by such beneficial owner. Dilution Shareholders not participating in future share issues may be diluted. Should the Company decide on an issue of securities with preferential rights for existing shareholders, such rights may not be 2.4.5 available for shareholders in the U.S. and in any other jurisdictions where delivery of such rights may be restricted or be subject to registration filings or similar. Should such rights not be available for shareholders, these shareholders will not be able to realise any potential profits on subscription rights or preferential allocation rights, and these shareholders may be diluted as a result. The Company may in the future issue warrants and/or options to subscribe for Shares, including (without limitation) to certain advisers, employees, directors, senior management and consultants. The exercise of such warrants and/or options would result in dilution of the shareholdings of other investors. At the extraordinary general meeting held on 18 December 2013, the Company's general meeting granted the board of directors an authorisation to issue up to 233,000,000 Shares out of the unissued authorised share capital of the Company, and provided the Board with a general waiver of the existing shareholders' right to pre-emption in connection with such issuances. Limitations on the ability to make claims against the Company 2.4.6 The Company is a European public company limited by shares organised under the laws of the Republic of Cyprus. The Company ’s directors and executive officers are residents of Cyprus, Norway, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, and a substantial portion of the Group ’s assets are located in Cyprus and Bermuda. As a result, it may be difficult for investors in other jurisdictions to effect service of process upon the Company, its affiliates or its directors and executive officers in such other jurisdictions or to enforce judgments obtained in other jurisdictions against the Company, its affiliates or its directors and executive officers. 2.4.7 The Company’s investors outside of Norway are subject to exchange rate risk The Shares are traded in NOK and any investor outside of Norway who wishes to invest in the Shares, or to sell Shares, will be subject to an exchange rate risk which may cause additional costs to the investor. 2.4.8 Bondholders will bear the risk of fluctuation in the price of the Company's shares The market price of the Convertible Bonds is expected to be affected by fluctuations in the market price of the Company’s shares and it is impossible to predict whether the price of the shares will rise or fall. Any decline in the price of the Shares may have an adverse effect on the market price 2.4.9 of the Convertible Bonds. Risk related to subordination of the Convertible Bond The Convertible Bonds and accrued interest thereon is subordinated to all senior indebtedness of the Issuer. Rights to receive payment on the Convertible Bonds in a default situation will therefore be subject to all senior lenders first receiving due payment. 22

  30. 5 BACKGROUND 5.1 Announcement of the Refinancing On 25 November 2013, Songa Offshore announced its plans for a comprehensive refinancing (the “ Refinancing ”) by way of raising up to USD 425 million in new capital by way of a combination of (i) the Private Placement, a fully guaranteed equity issue through a private placement with gross proceeds in the amount of NOK 1,525 million (approximately USD 250 million), in combination with the Subsequent Offering, a contemplated subsequent repair offering with gross proceeds of up to NOK 152.5 million (approximately USD 25 million), and (ii) the Convertible Bond Issue, an issue of the Convertible Bond through a private placement of bonds with gross proceeds in the amount of USD 150 million. The Private Placement and the Convertible Bond Issue were mutually conditional and subject to the approvals by an extraordinary general meeting of the Company which was held on 18 December 2013, and were also contingent upon the other components of the Refinancing being (a) amendments to the existing CAT-D charter contracts, (b) waivers and amendment agreements with the Company’s bondholders as well as (c) amended agreements with the Company’s syndicated bank facility. The background for the Refinancing was Songa Offshore’s large funding requirements for the completion of its CAT-D rigs, combined with the significant losses made in 2012 and 2013 in connection with the upgrades and SPSs of two rigs and the loss made upon the sale of its rig “Songa Eclipse”. Songa Offshore did not expect that its funding through own cash flow, in combination with normal financing on the CAT-D rigs, would be sufficient to provide full financing for taking delivery of the CAT-D rigs. During 2013, Songa Offshore experienced a deteriorating cash position, and required certain temporary waivers to meet its bond covenants. In context of this financial situation, the Refinancing was intended as an integrated plan which, when completed, is intended to make Songa Offshore able to meet its industrial and financial obligations. In the view of Songa Offshore, the Refinancing is expected to facilitate successful delivery of the Company’s CAT -D rigs as well as creating a solid and sustainable long term financial platform for the Company in the best interest of all stakeholders. The Company retained Fearnley Securities AS and Swedbank Norway, part of Swedbank AB (publ) as Managers for the Private Placement, the Convertible Bond Issue, and the Subsequent Offering. SEB acted as an independent financial advisor to the Company and its Board of Directors. 5.2.1 5.2 Components of the Refinancing CAT-D contracts – amended terms As part of the Refinancing, the Company has agreed certain amendments to the existing charter agreements with Statoil as charterer of the CAT-D rigs. Among other adjustments, the new terms include a 5% average rate increase for the CAT-D units during the fixed contract period in a declining rate profile from 9.0% the first full year to 0.0% in year 8, partly offset by a repayment to Statoil of USD 12,500,000 per rig upon Statoil’s declaration of each of the two initial three -year option periods (i.e. an aggregate repayment of up to USD 50,000,000 in 2023 and up to USD 50,000,000 in 2026). The Company has also agreed certain amendments to ensure increasing bankability of certain variable rate components and to cancel the purchase options at the end of the fixed contract period for CAT-D-1 and CAT-D-2. The above amendments were subject to approval by Statoil and the respective licence partners, as granted on 11 December 2013. As part of the Refinancing, the loan of USD 222,000,000 from Statoil, which was provided to the Company 27

  31. in order to pre-fund the first installment for CAT-D-3 and CAT-D-4, was agreed to be repaid in the amount of USD 111,000,000 after settlement of the Private Placement (repaid on 15 January 2014), and the remaining balance shall be repaid equally upon delivery of CAT-D-1 and CAT-D-2 from the yard. Waivers and amendment agreements with bondholders As part of the Refinancing, the Company has agreed certain waivers and amendments to its outstanding bonds including, but not limited to: 5.2.2 • Extension of the maturity date of the 2016 bond (ISIN NO 001062875.3) to May 2018; • Extension of the maturity date of the 2015 bond (ISIN NO 001064940.3) to December 2018; • Amendments of the current floating interest rates of each bond issue to fixed interest rates of 7.5% fixed for the 2015 bond and 8.4% fixed for the 2016 bond (together with, for the 2016 bond, a redemption at maturity of 103.5%); Amendments to certain covenants including waiver of the leverage covenant to and including Q4 2014, waiver for the book equity ratio covenant to and including Q4 2014 and a waiver of the minimum value covenant for the remaining terms of the bonds. The further details of the revised terms of the bond loans, which were approved by bondholder meetings on 11 December 2013, are set out in Section 12.8 “ Borrowings ”. Amendment agreements with lending banks 5.2.3 As part of the Refinancing, the Company agreed certain amendments to its bank debt. The quarterly amortisation was reduced by 50%, the maturity date extended by one year until Q4 2016 and the mandatory prepayment on sale of vessels reduced from 120% of the mortgage amount to 50% of the mortgage amount for each of “ Songa Venus ” and “ Songa Mercur ” , as well as amendments to certain covenants, including without limitation e.g. the equity ratio covenant. The further details of the revised terms of the bank loans are set out in Section 12.8 “ Borrowings ”. 5.2.4 The Private Placement The Private Placement was completed through issue of 610,000,000 New Shares with gross proceeds of NOK 1,525 million (approximately USD 250 million), and with preference for existing shareholders of the Company. The subscription price applied in the Private Placement was NOK 2.50 per share. The Private Placement was fully guaranteed by certain of the Company's largest shareholders, including Perestroika AS, Kistefos AS, and Fondsfinans Spar. Perestroika AS had conditioned its guarantee on being allocated shares in the Private Placement which would secure Perestroika AS and related parties at least 50.1% ownership in the Company post the Private Placement (also taking into account the maximum number of shares which may be subscribed for in the Subsequent Offering). Perestroika AS' subscription of shares triggered a mandatory offer for the shares of the Company. The mandatory offer launched by Perestroika AS is further described in Section 13.20 “ Applicable takeover bid regulations ” . The New Shares issued by the Private Placement become tradeable on Oslo Børs upon publication of this Prospectus. Further information about the Private Placement, the New Shares, and the listing of the New Shares is given in Section 6 “ The Private Placement, the Convertible Bond Issue, and the Listing ”. 28

  32. The Subsequent Offering In order to protect the interests of the minority shareholders of the Company, the Company offers a total of 61 million Offer Shares on the terms set out in this Prospectus. The subscription price in this Subsequent Offering is NOK 2.50 per share, identical to the subscription price applied in the 5.2.5 Private Placement. If the Subsequent Offering is fully subscribed, the total gross proceeds to the Company will be NOK 152.5 million (approximately USD 25 million). Eligible Shareholders, being shareholders holding less than 110,000 shares on the Record Date and who were not allocated shares in the Private Placement will receive non-transferable subscription rights. The terms of the Subsequent Offering are set out in Section 7 “ The Subsequent Offering ”. The Convertible Bond Issue Under the Convertible Bond Issue, the Company raised USD 150 million of gross proceeds through the issuance of the Convertible Bonds, being subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company. 5.2.6 The Convertible Bond is denominated in USD and can be converted into new shares of the Company at a strike price of USD 0.51032. The Convertible Bond has semi-annual coupon payments of 4.00% p.a. The Convertible Bonds were allocated with preference to existing shareholders of the Company and investors participating in the Private Placement. Bondholders in the Company’s 2011/2016 and 2012/2015 bonds were given preferential allocation for USD 20 million of the Convertible Bond. The Convertible Bonds become tradeable on Oslo Børs by means of this Prospectus. Further information about the Convertible Bonds and the listing of these is given in Section 6 “ The Private Placement, the Convertible Bond Issue, and the Listing ”. 5.2.7 Other elements related to the Refinancing As a part of its agreement with Statoil and the lending banks in relation to the Refinancing, Songa Offshore agreed that it will use its best endeavours to sell the two rigs “Songa Venus” and “Songa Mercur”, being the tw o only rigs in its fleet that are not related to operations in Norway. Songa Offshore is in negotiations with potential buyers of these rigs, but no agreement has been concluded.

  51. 8 MARKET OVERVIEW 8.1 Introduction Songa Offshore operates in the international oil service industry within offshore drilling, and owns a fleet of five semi-submersible rigs, all operating in the midwater segment. Rigs, related equipment and crews are generally contracted on a dayrate basis to oil exploration and production companies. Currently, Songa Offshore operates in the offshore crude oil basins in the North Sea and offshore Malaysia and Vietnam. Songa Offshore has four additional semi-submersible drilling rigs under construction, for planned delivery in 2014 and 2015, all of which are contracted for long term employment in Norwegian waters, with Statoil as charterer. 8.2 General industry drivers Growth and demand within the offshore oil and gas services industry are affected by the following key factors: i. Oil and gas prices and demand: Oil and gas E&P spending is the key driver of demand in the oil and gas services industry. E&P spending is directly linked to the earnings of oil and gas companies which are, in turn, dependent on average oil and gas prices. Volatility in oil prices can therefore reduce the ability of oil and gas companies to budget for increased E&P spending. However, while market expectations of a potential decline in oil prices will affect E&P spending and activity, ultra-deepwater projects, being large projects with longer lead times and long-term outlooks, are less affected by short-term changes in oil price. According to the IEA, global oil demand is expected to increase steadily to 99.7 mb/d in 2035, from 87.4 mb/d in 2011, and the average price of crude oil is predicted to rise to USD 125/barrel (in year 2011 dollars) by 2035 (IEA, World Energy Outlook 2012, 12 November 2012). Non-OECD oil consumption is forecast to average out at approximately 46.5 mb/d in 2014, an increase of 1.4 mb/d (or 3.1%) compared to 2013 and well above the OECD average of 45.5 mb/d. China is forecast to remain the main engine of demand growth in 2014, followed by the rest of Asia and the Middle East, with demand projected to increase by 385 kb/d, 325 kb/d and 225 kb/d, respectively (IEA Oil Market Report, 10 July 2013). ii. Reserve replacements: The future production capacity of the oil and gas industry depends on the ability of oil and gas companies to maintain a sustainable reserve replacement ratio through the discovery and development of new reservoirs or improvements in oil recovery techniques. Currently, oil and gas companies are barely able to fully replace the hydrocarbons they produce, and the IEA reports that proven reserves of oil worldwide (an indication of the near- to medium-term potential for new production) increased slightly by 1,523 billion barrels, or 3.6%, at the end of 2011, compared to the year before (IEA, World Energy Outlook 2012, 12 November 2012). iii. Increased emphasis on E&P spending: Oil and gas companies are increasing both their total E&P spending as well as their proportion of E&P spending on offshore activities. According to the IEA (IEA, World Energy Outlook 2012, 12 November 2012), upstream oil and gas investments rose by approximately 8% in 2012 relative to 2011, reaching a new record of USD 619 billion – an increase of 20% compared to 2008 and five times the level of investments in 2000. The largest growth in E&P spending in recent years has been in deepwater exploration and production, partly driven by the lack of new, large, onshore and shallow water discoveries. The IEA predicts that upstream oil and gas investments will 48

  52. remain high in the coming years, with global investments averaging USD 615 billion per year (IEA, World Energy Outlook 2012, 12 November 2012). Future upstream investments will have an increased offshore focus, as exploration and development continues to move towards harsher and deeper waters.

Drilling technology and innovation: Recent advances in offshore technology have improved the ability of oil and gas companies to develop reservoirs in deeper waters, and in harsh and more remote locations. A new class of drilling rigs has emerged, with the ability to drill wells of up to 40,000 feet and in some cases even up to 60,000 feet, in water depths of up to 12,000 feet, and with them, new types of subsea construction vessels and production facilities. v. General political and economic environment: Changes in the political, economic and regulatory environment across regions affect global demand for oil services. The political and regulatory regimes of a country also have a significant impact on the level of oil and gas extraction activity within its territory. Changes in tax rules could also alter the profitability of certain projects and accordingly, E&P spending. vi. Increased focus on QHSE: Due to the potentially serious consequences of an accident within the offshore oil and gas industry, the industry has developed high standards to mitigate risks associated with QHSE. There has been increased focus on this area after the Macondo incident in 2010, and, to an increasing extent, oil and gas companies will contract only with oil and gas companies that have the procedures and know-how to adequately manage these risks. This trend has increased the barriers to entry in the industry. 8.3 Contract drilling and rig classification Most drilling rigs are owned by industry participants that engage in drilling operations as their primary or only activity. The drilling rig industry is populated to a large extent by U.S. industry participants, although Norwegian industry participants have increased their presence in recent years. Drilling rigs are broadly divided into onshore rigs and offshore rigs. Offshore rigs are in turn categorised by rig design and drilling capability at various water depths. 49

This form of drilling typically takes place in lakes, swamps, rivers, and canals. Jackup rigs are similar to drilling barges, with the difference that once a jack-up rig is towed to the drilling site, three or four legs of the rig are lowered until they rest on the sea floor. This allows the working platform to rest above the surface of the water, as opposed to a floating barge. Jackup rigs are only suitable for shallow waters, as extending these legs beyond a certain depth would be impractical. Drilling at water depths exceeding 400 feet generally requires the use of semi-submersible rigs or d rill ships, commonly referred to as “floaters.” Semi -submersible rigs are floating platforms that feature a ballasting system that can lower parts of the hull to a predetermined depth (typically 50- 80 feet). Drill ships are ships that have been constructed in order to conduct drilling operations through openings in the hull. Drill ships normally have greater mobility and a higher load carrying capacity than semi-submersible rigs, but are less stable in harsh weather conditions. Both types of rigs retain their position above the wellhead either by means of a conventional mooring system, consisting of anchors and chains, or cables, or by a computerised dynamic positioning system. The Company currently operates five semi-submersible rigs and has another four semi- submersibles on order, and therefore operates in the floater segment of the offshore drilling industry. Depending on the depth of the water in the location of the wells, the oil drilling industry comprises four separate segments: the shallow water segment (for depths less than 400 feet), the midwater segment (for depths between 400 and 4,000 feet), the deepwater segment (for depths between 4,001 and 7,500 feet) and the ultra-deepwater segment (for depths between 7,501 and 12,000 feet). All five existing units operate in the midwater segment while are capable of operating in the ultra-deepwater segment. All of the four newbuildings are midwater units. 50

Between 1979 and 1988, in particular, 74 floaters were delivered, which led to significant over-supply of rigs in the offshore drilling market until the middle of the1990s. Consequently, few floaters were built over the last two decades. A new construction cycle commenced a few years ago, and is expected to match the building cycle of the mid 1970s and mid 1980s in certain water-depth segments, with 103 new-builds expected to be delivered.

Consequently, the offshore drilling industry has witnessed consolidation since the early days and this trend is expected to continue in the future. 8.6 Midwater rig supply and key market players Global supply. The global midwater market contains 123 floaters, of which 114 are semi- submersible rigs and nine are drill ships. The current order book consists of eight new-builds; 52

  56. seven semi-submersible rigs and one drillship. The midwater segment is one of the most consolidated in the offshore drilling market, with the top five industry participants owning 67 units representing 54% of the current fleet. Transocean and Diamond Offshore are the largest midwater drilling companies with 47 units alone (of which, seven and three are currently cold-stacked, respectively). Songa Offshore is the third largest industry participant with 9 (counting the four currently on order), followed by COSL with six and Ensco and Dolphin with five midwater floaters each. Global midwater floater fleet by company (# rigs) 35 30 25 20 15 Under Construction 10 Delivered 5 0 Source: ODS Petrodata, December 2013 Midwater floater supply is relatively regional, thereby limiting rig mobilisation between regions. For example, drilling contracts in offshore Brazil (where 14 of the floaters are currently stationed) tend to have exceptionally long terms and are expensive to move to other regions. On the other hand, drilling operations in the Norwegian midwater segment (where 19 of the floaters are currently stationed) is subject to stringent regulatory requirements, which increase the compliance costs and operate as indirect barriers to entry to new competitors. This creates favourable competitive environments for incumbent drilling companies. In the later years many drilling companies have favoured building deepwater and ultra-deepwater rigs. As a result the current dedicated midwater fleet has large bias of older rigs and there has been a large degree of deepwater units working in waters where such high depth rating has not been required. Of current 115 units delivered, 105 units are more than 20 years of age. Songa Offshore’s CAT -D units are purpose built units for the midwater segment. Of the 105 midwater units currently in operation, only 20 units are authorised to operate in Norwegian waters. There are currently five midwater units under construction targeting the Norwegian market, including the four CAT-D units for Songa Offshore. 53

The Norwegian midwater market is relatively “closed” with fewer industry part icipants due to a stringent regulatory environment. Rigs operating in Norway are required to receive an Acknowledgement of Compliance (AoC) from the Norwegian government. The AoC is contingent on adherence to strict regulations in areas such as safety, documentation and accommodation. Upgrading non-AoC rigs to comply with the AoC requirements can be costly and may require significant time. Currently, only 19 floaters in the midwater segment are qualified to operate in the Norwegian midwater segment, three of which belong to Songa Offshore (in addition all four on order will have AoC). Other players in the market include Transocean, Fred Olsen Energy (Dolphin), COSL, Stena, Diamond Offshore, NADL and Odfjell Drilling.

The midwater segment has had stable utilisation at around 90% the last 7 years. In historical down-cycles, utilisation rates decreased to approximately 75%, falling as low as 60% in the 1980s due to the increase in the supply of drilling units in the previous years. The current order book for 54

  58. newbuild midwater floaters consists of only five units, compared to 52 midwater rigs delivered in the years 1980 to 1987. It is estimated that 17 midwater rigs are currently cold-stacked while nine are hot or warm-stacked, further reducing the marketable supply of the midwater rigs. Many midwater rigs that are currently in operation were built in the 1980s building cycle These rigs will likely require extensive yard stays for repairs and upgrades to continue drilling in increasingly regulated markets going forward.

  59. Norway has been the second most prolific offshore oil and gas region over recent years, with large discoveries in the North Sea and in the Barents Sea. The North Sea region is still the largest offshore market in the world and activity will increase going forward. From its peak in 2000, Norwegian oil production has declined. To compensate for this declining trend, the number of drilled wells has increased significantly to a level well above 120 wells per year (drilled from mobile offshore drilling units). According to the CEO of Petoro, manager of the Norwegian Government‘s oil and gas licenses on the NCS, there is a substant ial challenge to secure sufficient rigs to drill production wells for securing the value in existing fields as well as exploration wells (Petoro Annual Results 2012). Of all the wells drilled on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, 64% has been within the midwater segment. 36% has been within the shallow water segment, ether covered by jack-up rigs or by midwater semi-submersibles. Only 16 wells has to date been drilled in waters where a deepwater rig was required. # wells drilled on NCS by water depth (m) 180 160 140 120 100 4001-7500ft (Deepwater 80 400-4000ft (Midwater) 60 < 400ft (Shallow water) 40 20 0 1966 1968 1970 1972 1974 1976 1978 1980 1982 1984 1986 1988 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 2012 Source: NPD Some of the largest discoveries on the NCS to date were made in 2011 and 2012: the major Johan Sverdrup oil and gas field in the North Sea and the Skrugard and Havis discoveries in the Barents Sea. Drilling contracts in Norway generally have shown longer durations and longer lead times compared to other comparable offshore drilling markets. Most of the recent awarded day rates for modern and high-specification semi-submersibles in Norway range from USD 480,000 – USD 580,000, depending on contract type and length. Another indication of the uptick in activity on the NCS is Kvaerner’s long list of new North Sea field developments. 56

Kvaerner ’s list of upcoming projects Source: Kvaerner 8.8 Global midwater dayrates The following discussion of dayrate development is not representative of the dayrates that the Company may be able to obtain in the future. Dayrates in the midwater segment have increased significantly over the last five years. Rising commodity prices, falling oil production and strong demand, particularly from China and the Middle East, were factors that increased E&P budgets and dayrates. However, the recent global economic downturn, combined with a lower oil price environment making fewer oil fields profitable, resulted in the midwater floater market experiencing a setback in terms of dayrates in 2009. The industry witnessed declines in dayrates in the midwater segment from USD 400,000 – USD 500,000 levels to USD 250,000 – USD 375,000 levels, reflecting a more cautious approach by oil companies to E&P spending.

Dayrates in the Norwegian midwater segment are currently at historical high levels, averaging approximately USD 450,000 for midwater rigs, up from approximately USD 150,000 in 2004, with recent fixtures significantly above average. In October 2013 “ Transocean Winner ” (1,500ft wtd, built 1983) was fixed for 18 months at USD 499,000/d with start up in January 2015, and in October 2012 “ Stena Don ” (1,640ft wtd, built 2001) was fixed with Statoil, starting late 2013 at USD 496,350/d. 57

  61. 9 BUSINESS AND GROUP OVERVIEW 9.1 Overview Songa Offshore is a group of companies, with Songa Offshore SE as the group parent company, whose principal business is to construct, own and operate drilling rigs to be used in the exploration and production of hydrocarbons. Songa Offshore owns five semisubmersible drilling rigs and has four additional semisubmersible drilling rigs under construction, for planned delivery in 2014 and 2015. Three of the existing rigs, and all of the four rigs under construction, are contracted for long term employment in Norwegian waters, with Statoil as charterer. These rigs have an aggregate contract backlog of approximately USD 6.7 billion, with options corresponding to approximately USD 8.2 billion of additional revenues. 9.2 Songa Offshore’s object and business strategy As stated in the Memorandum of Association of Songa Offshore SE, its object is ownership, acquisition and operation of vessels, rigs and offshore installations, as well as other related business, and it may also acquire and own shares, securities and ownership interests in other companies. Songa Offshore has defined its vision as follows: “Songa Offshore shall be the preferred Midwater Drilling Contractor with a strong presence in the harsh environment North Atlantic Basin .” Songa Offshore intends to accomplish this vision by:  Providing safe and cost efficient operations which exceeds its customers’ expectations;  Following its customers world wide;  Being recognised for having competent and passionate employees combined with robust systems and procedures;  Working with its customers to effectively utilise value added technologies;  Taking on management contracts, with a special focus on South East Asia; and  Offering high-quality engineering and Rental Services. 9.3.1 9.3 Business overview Nature of operations Songa Offshore is, and has been since its formation, primarily involved in ownership, acquisition and operations of mobile offshore drilling units. Songa Offshore refers to its business as being a “drilling contractor”, a term used to signify that it provides drilling services to oil and gas companies. The term “mobile offshore drilling units”, which is often abbreviated as “MODUs”, is us ed to describe rigs, drillships, and other equipment used in the offshore drilling activities. Songa Offshore focuses its business on semisubmersible drilling rigs, although Songa Offshore has also in the past (from 2005 to 2010) been involved in the ownership of a drillship. 58

  62. Offshore drilling takes place in several geographical locations worldwide. Songa Offshore currently focuses on the Norwegian sector of the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea for a majority of its fleet and for all of its rigs under construction, although it does also have two rigs operating in South East Asia. In the past, Songa Offshore has also had drilling operations in Angola (2011-2012 for a rig now sold), in Cuba (2012-2013 for a rig now operating in South East Asia), and in Central and North Africa (2007-2010). Songa Offshore generates its revenues from providing drilling services. Revenues are a product of the applicable day rate and the number of days in operation. Songa Offshore’s ability to generate a profit stems from the margin between such revenues and the expenses associated with the rigs, the applicable overhead expenses, depreciation, financing costs, and taxes. Overview of rigs and contracts The Group’s core asset base consists of five semisubmersible drilling rigs and four semisubmersible rigs under construction at the Korean yard DSME.

The current day rate is USD 260,000. As a part of its agreement with Statoil and the lending banks in relation to the Refinancing, Songa Offshore agreed that it will use its best endeavours to sell the two rigs “Songa Venus” and “Songa Mercur”, being the two only rigs in its fleet that are not related to operations in Norway. Songa Offshore is in negotiations with potential buyers of these rigs, but no agreement has been concluded. Songa Offshore is not yet in a position to give indication of the outcome of these negotiations or the timing of a potential sale. Offshore drilling contracts in general 9.3.3 The Company expects its future contracts for the provision of offshore drilling services to vary in their terms and conditions. The Company may obtain drilling contracts either through competitive bidding or through direct negotiations with oil companies. Drilling contracts generally provide for a fixed day rate that is payable regardless of whether the drilling results in a successful well. Drilling contracts usually provide for lower rates for days on which the rig is in transit or drilling operations are interrupted by adverse weather conditions or other conditions beyond the Company’s or the customer’s control. Likewise, the Company may receive lower day rates or no day rates at all, for periods during which drilling is restricted or interrupted as a result of equipment breakdowns. Under typical drilling contracts, such interruptions in drilling operations that accumulates to more than one to two days per month result in a loss of day rate, and longer interruptions (typically lasting for more than 15 to 30 consecutive days) may permit the oil company to cancel the drilling contract. The Company typically would continue to incur full operating costs during any interruptions in the operation of its rigs. Certain interruptions caused by technical breakdowns may be covered by the Company’s insurance. However, the Company has a policy of not having Loss of Hire insurance. Some day rate contracts provide for the payment of performance bonuses. Payments under day rate contracts are expected to account for the most substantial portion of the Company’s revenues. As a result, it is unlikely that the Company will realise revenues from its rigs for periods during which they are not under contract or are not in use due to repairs or maintenance. Under day-rate contracts, the Company will be responsible for all operating expenses of its rigs, including wages, supplies, insurance, repair and maintenance costs and the fees payable under its rig management contracts with third parties. The duration of day rate contracts generally encompasses either the drilling of a single well or group of wells or a stated calendar period (the latter being known as “term contracts”). Drilling 62

  66. contracts may usually be terminated by the customer if the rig is destroyed or lost, if the performance of the contractor does not meet the contractual obligations, or if drilling operations are suspended for a set period of time due to a breakdown of equipment or certain events beyond the control of the parties.

Operational efficiency is a measure to illustrate how much of the available time that the the rig is actually operating, and illustrates the time lost due to factors specific to the rig and/or its crew. Earnings efficiency is a measure to illustrate how much of actual time that the rig is on day rate, and will often (but not always) be lower than operating efficiency since it takes into account days used for reduced or no revenue such as yard stays, rig moves, etc. Operational efficiency (averages) 2010 2011 2012 1-3Q 2013 Norwegian rigs (Dee, Delta, and Trym) 95.5% 95.7% 96.0% 96.2% International rigs (Mercur and Venus) 91.9% 75.1% 99.2% 93.5% Earnings efficiency (averages) 2010 2011 2012 1-3Q 2013 Norwegian rigs (Dee, Delta, and Trym) 96.8% 96.4% 89.0% 96.8% International rigs (Mercur and Venus) 89.6% 66.7% 98.4% 79.0% The table below sets forth the average daily operating expenses relating to the drilling rigs currently owned by Songa Offshore for the respective years. These expenses include direct costs attributable to the rigs, but do not take into account shoreside costs or overheads, depreciation, financing costs, or taxes. The calculations are based on actual historical costs (including periods when rigs have been out of service with lower than normal operating expenses) divided by calendar days in each period. 63

Operational efficiency (averages) 2010 2011 2012 1-3Q 2013 Norwegian rigs (Dee, Delta, and Trym) 197,000 190,000 172,000 164,000 International rigs (Mercur and Venus) 120,000 98,000 100,000 124,000 Further detail on the CAT-D project In July 2011, Songa Offshore received and announced a letter of agreement from Statoil for two new build CAT-D semisubmersibles with firm terms of 8 years each with four option periods, each of three years, that could extend the period to 20 years. Statoil awarded the contract for the two 9.3.6 new build Cat D rigs on behalf of the participants in the Troll license. Subsequently, in February 2012, Songa Offshore received and announced a letter of agreement from Statoil for two additional CAT-D semisubmersible rigs. The contract period is for 8 years with four option periods, each of three years, that could extend the period to 20 years. The CAT-D project is a large industrial project which is undertaken in close contact between Songa Offshore and Statoil. The rigs have been designed and specified by Statoil to meet with the long term demands of its drilling requirement on the Norwegian continental shelf, and are expected to be “workhorses” in its development and exploration drilling activities. The contracts with Songa Offshore were awarded after a competitive bidding process. As counterpart to the respective contracts with Statoil, Songa Offshore has contracted with the Korean yard DSME to deliver the four new CAT-D drilling rigs in accordance with the specifications provided by Statoil. Songa Offshore expects that the average “ready -to- drill” cost for each C AT-D rig will be approximately USD 660 million, plus capitalised interest. As per end October 2013, the construction progress for each of the CAT-D rigs was: Songa Equinox 75.70% overall progress Songa Endurance 72.80% overall progress Songa Encourage 38.30% overall progress Songa Enabler 12.10% overall progress The rigs are somewhat delayed compared to original schedule due to yard and sub-suppliers capacity issues, but are expected to be delivered in fourth quarter 2014 (CAT-D- 1, “Songa Equinox”, and C AT-D- 2, “Songa Endurance”) and second quarter 2015 (C AT-D- 3, “Songa Encourage”, and C AT-D- 4, “Songa Enabler”). Upon delivery from yard, the contract with Statoil provides for a payment of USD 40 million per rig to compensate for mobilisation and commissioning costs. Songa Offshore expects to mobilise the CAT-D rigs to Norway by means of the rigs’ own propulsion systems , after which the CAT-D rigs will undergo final testing and approval for operation in Norwegian waters (Nw: SUT, “Samsvarsuttalelse”) . The contracts with Statoil will commence upon the delivery of the respective rigs onto the field in Norway. The structures for the marine drilling contracts for each of the CAT-D rigs are similar in most respects, and are based on a firm contract period of 8 years with four option periods, each of three years, that can extend the contract period up to 20 years. Statoil must declare any such options within one year remaining of the respective period. The rate applicable when drilling is currently at approximately USD 440,000 per rig per day, and is adjusted annually according to defined indices. The difference in rate between the rigs, as shown in the table in Section 9.3.4, primarily reflects a somewhat higher expected operating cost on the CAT-D- 4 (“Songa Enabler”), which is planned for operations in the Barents Sea. 64

  68. Upon commencement of option periods, if declared, the rates for CAT-D-1 and CAT-D- 2 (“Songa Equinox” and “Songa Endurance”) will be subject to an additional USD 15,000 increase, which will also be subject to further escalation. In November 2013, and as part of the comprehensive refinancing of Songa Offshore, it was proposed to make certain adjustments to the rate structure for the CAT-D rigs. These adjustments were agreed by Statoil and its licence partners in December 2013. Under these adjustments, Statoil and its partners agreed to a 5% average rate increase during the fixed contract period in a declining rate profile from 9.0% the first full year to 0.0% in year 8, partly offset by a repayment to Statoil of USD 12,500,000 per rig upon Statoil’s declaration of each of the two initial three -year option periods. In addition, Statoil and its licence partners agreed to certain contract amendments that contributed to higher predictability of certain variable rate components. Revenues from the upgrades of “Songa Dee”, “Songa Delta” and “Songa Trym” in 2012 and 2013 9.3.7 As part of the extensive upgrades undertaken on “Songa Dee”, “Songa Delta” and “Songa Trym” in 2012 and 2013, Statoil contributed approximately USD 127 million in order to enhance the operational capabilities of the rigs. Statoil’s contribution in this respect has been fully paid . The contribution is recognised as revenue over the firm contract period on a straight line basis in accordance with the applicable accounting regulations (IFRS). As such, at initial recognition the contribution has been capitalised as deferred revenue in the balance sheet, and is subsequently recognised as revenue over the firm contract period. The quarterly revenue amounts to approximately USD 3.0 million. 9.4 Corporate information Songa Offshore SE, the parent company of the Songa Offshore group of companies, is a European public company limited by shares organised under the laws of the Republic of Cyprus.

Australia Dormant 9.7 QSMS HSE ( “ Quality, Safety Management System, Health, Safety and Environment”) policy In an industry where safety is critical, Songa Offshore believes that it is possible to develop competitive advantage through rigorous focus on Quality and Safety Management. Therefore, continuous training, evaluation, improvement and enforcement of the Quality & Safety Management System ( “ QSMS ” ) are key management responsibilities. Songa Offshore ’s integrated Quality & Safety Management System has a set of five policies as its foundation. The five policies detail the focus on people , environment , and assets . A brief abstract is shown below; • Quality Policy – Songa Offshore will set standards and continuously be raising the bar. • HSE Policy – Songa Offshore will always put people and the environment first. • Ethics Policy – Songa Offshore shall be recognised as an organisation with high ethical values. 68

  72. • Operational Policy – Songa Offshore will be recognised as the driller of choice. • Security Policy – Songa Offshore will ensure the safety and security of company personnel, company assets, and installations by preventing unlawful acts. Quality The management system is constantly under development, this could be based on changes in the organisation, lessons learned from operations, industry best practices, client feedback or simply good ideas, from personnel, that make operations more efficient and/ or safer. 9.7.1 Compliance with the Group’s Corporate Quality & Safety Management System is mandatory for all personnel at all levels of the Group. To achieve this, the Group maintains an efficient quality assurance program in accordance with applicable international standards. It is designed to ensure that all quality and regulatory requirements are recognised and that a consistent and uniform control of these requirements is adequately maintained. The Group seeks to incorporate guidance from the International Marine Contractors Association (the “IMCA”) and the International Association of Drilling Contractors (the “IADC”). The Group is audited annually, against the ISM Code and has received the Document of Compliance (DOC) Certificate by American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), on behalf of the two flagstates Marshall Island and Norway, which essentially means the Group’s Q uality Safety Management System suffices international requirements of all facets of safety, health and the environment. The Group seeks to continually develop the Group’s quality management and improvement systems, by identifying the expectations and needs of its customers and by processes including data collection and experience feedback from users of the systems, both onshore and offshore. 9.7.2 Health, safety and the environment (HSE) Through the QSMS, Songa Offshore applies a robust operational Risk Management process to all activities, the resulting outcome being efficient operations and a safe and healthy working environment for the crew. Supporting this, the main objective for corporate organisation is to standardise a common approach for all operations within the company. Whilst Songa Offshore acknowledges that there are various regional rules and regulations that must be complied with, these requirements must be handled by regional management, in conjunction to corporate processes and procedures. Songa Offshores common minimum processes and procedures for all activities worldwide are described through the QSMS. In addition, Songa Offshore has set the standard that all rigs will have valid HSE Cases, regardless of where a rig is operating and whether or not it is a requirement in the respective market, such as it is in Norway (where it is referred to as AOC), UK and Austalia. Songa Offshore has adapted the IADC guidelines for the preparation of an HSE Case. The Group is also a member of IMCA, which 9.7.3 issues maritime standards and provide experience transfer throughout the marine industry. QHSE Planning The Group has established a QHSE annual plan which includes a set of corporate objectives together with the supporting rig specific objectives and key performance indicators (KPI) as set by Songa Offshore management. All Songa Offshore personnel are expected to work as a team in order to successfully achieve these objectives and KPIs. The KPIs consists of detailed performance criteria within the following areas; Quality & HSE, Operations, Client satisfaction, Rig Maintenance and Rig budget adherence. 69

  73. Environmental system The Group has placed great emphasis so that the rigs meet all statutory requirements for emissions, pollution and environmental impact. The Group strives to comply with all classification society, flag state, national and international regulations, but more importantly the International 9.7.4 Maritime Organization ( “ IMO ” ) requirements with regards to environmental issues. The IMO has adopted the MARPOL International Convention for the prevention of pollution. All of the Group’s rigs are certified and holds the following certificates; IOPP (International Oil Pollution Prevention), IAPP (International Air Pollution Prevention) and ISPP (International Sewage Pollution Prevention). Waste management system The Group seeks to ensure that all waste and waste products generated as a result of the Group’s operations are disposed of in a safe and efficient manner, without harm to employees, the 9.7.5 environment or third parties, and in compliance with relevant environmental guidelines and legislation. The Group’s management is ultimately responsible for the application of the Group’s waste management system, with all employees sharing responsibility for its implementation. The Group seeks to achieve the objectives of the waste management system through waste elimination or minimisation, waste recovery or recycling and safe and efficient disposal methods and their application. The Group seeks to commit all necessary resources to ensure adequate and appropriate disposal of waste in accordance with the Group’s waste management procedures. Consideration is given to (a) the nature and quantity of waste, (b) the environmental impact of relevant waste disposal methods at the particular location (c) the waste products that will be generated (and their subsequent disposal) when purchasing raw materials (including the containers and packaging containing the raw material) and (d) exposure of personnel to accumulations of waste and strategies for personnel protection. Personnel are provided adequate training in waste minimisation and handling. The Group also audit waste control and disposal methods on a periodic basis to ensure compliance with the Group’s waste management procedures and relevant new technology. Type and quantity of energy and raw materials consumed Drilling with non-aqueous drilling fluids : High-speed shale shakers will be used to provide an average of less than 20% wet weight mud on cuttings over the sections of the well where non- aqueous drilling fluids are used. Upon completion of drilling with non-aqueous drilling fluids, the drilling fluid is returned to the supplier for reconditioning and re-use. Drill cuttings : Discharged to sea through a shunt pipe placed below the sea surface. The discharge depth is set and selected to achieve maximum dilution effects and to minimise impacts upon the surface waters. Deck Drainage : Spillage of diesel, cleaning solvents or mud chemicals will be cleaned up completely using absorbent pads and low toxicity biodegradable detergents. Deck drainage, wash down water and machinery space drainage will be processed through an oil-water separator as required and in accordance with rules and regulations. Sewage : The drilling units are equipped with sewage treatment units; all sewage is properly treated prior to disposal at sea. Galley wastes : Food waste will be macerated to less than 25 mm and discharged to the sea at a distance of more than 12 nautical miles (22 km) from shore. 70

  74. Quantity of retuned waste oil and emission due to rig activity The table below sets forth information related to fuel consumption, waste oil, and emissions generated by the Group’s rigs in 2012. The following should be noted: • The information only reflects the periods in whi ch the rigs were under the Group’s operational responsibility, and hence does not reflect the periods in 2012 when “Songa Delta” and “Songa Trym” were operated by Odfjell Drilling. • The fuel used on all rigs is marine gas oil fuel, with low sulphur content. • Waste oil for “Songa Dee” includes slops. 2012 Atmospheric Emissions Vessel Fuel Consumed Waste Oil CO (T) SO (T) NO (T) 2 X 3 3 m m Dee 5440 2878 92,480 243,600 84,320 Delta 572 - 9,724 28,142 8,866 Trym 46 - 0,782 2,263 0,713 Eclipse 6937 97 117,929 341,300 107,524 Mercur 2817 60 47,889 138,596 43,664 Venus 4623 80 78,591 227,452 71,657 Action taken or planned to be taken to eliminate or reduce environmental 9.7.6 damage Environmental procedures are integrated within the Group’s QSMS. Incidents are covered in the specific procedure for each area in which the Group operates. Additionally all Songa Offshore offshore units have a classification society approved “Ship Oil Pollution Emergency Plan” , or SOPEP. The purpose of these plans is to provide guidance to the Master and Officers on board the offshore unit with respect to the steps to be taken when pollution incidents have occurred or is likely to occur. Effective planning ensures that the necessary actions are taken in a structured, logical, and timely manner.

Please refer to note 3 of the annual report for 2012 as incorporated by reference into this Prospectus for a full summary of the Company’s accounting policies. Overview of the restatement of 2010 accounts: In fourth quarter of 2011, the Company has revised and updated the process connected to foreign currency transactions in the Group. As part of this, currency adjustments made in the past was reviewed. Based on this review it is the Company’s assessment that an unrealised gain on currency of USD 16.8 million in 2010 need to be amended, due to incorrect application of currency adjustments. This element had a negative effect on the profit for the year 2010 of USD 16.8 million, with a corresponding adjustment on equity in 31 December 2010. The 2010 financial statements have been restated to reflect this change. 86

  90. Overview of the restatement of 2012 accounts: The Company implemented the amended standard IAS 19 Employee benefits from 1 January 2013, with full retrospective application. Comparable figures for the 9 months interim financial information for 2012 have been restated. The annual 2012 financial statements have not been amended in this respect. They will be amended with the issuance of the 2013 annual financial statements. The most significant change in the amended IAS 19 is the removal of the corridor approach for actuarial gains and losses. Actuarial gains and losses are now recognised in the balance sheet immediately, with a charge or credit to other comprehensive income (OCI) in the periods in which they occur. These are not reclassified in later periods to profit or loss. Net actuarial losses on defined benefit liability (asset) plans in the fourth quarter 2012 and full year 2012 were USD 0.8 million. The Company’s pension obligations are in Norway. The comparable figures for the nine months in 2012 in the consolidated balance sheet have been restated. However the annual financial statements for 2012, 2011 and 2010 have not been restated in relation to the amendments due to IAS 19. The following line items have been impacted in the consolidated balance sheet: Other equity adjusted with USD 1.2 million in negative effect as an adjustment to the 2012 ingoing balance. Other long term liabilities increased with a total of USD 2 million due to an adjustment in other equity ingoing balance in 2012 of USD 1.2 million, and 2012 OCI effects of USD 0.8 million. Condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income 11.2.2 The table below summarises the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the Group for the quarters ended 30 September 2013 and 2012, for the nine month period ended 30 September 2013 and 2012 and the years ended 31 December 2012, 2011 and 2010. 87

  97. 12 OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL REVIEW This operating and financial review should be read together with Section 11 “ Selected financial information ” and the financial statements incorporated into this Prospectus by reference (see Section 17.3 “ Incorporation by reference ” ). 12.1 Comments to the financial statements The following presents a discussion and analysis of Songa Offshore’s financial position and results of operation for the quarters ended 30 September 2013 and 2012 and the years ended 31 December 2012, 2011 and 2010. The following discussion and analysis should be read in connection with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full year financial statements and the interim financial statements incorporated into this Prospectus by reference. Comments are unaudited and not reviewed. Overview of current financial situation Since the announcement and publication of Songa Offshore’s third quarter 2013 financial 12.1.1 statements on 11 November 2013, Songa Offshore has announced and completed the Refinancing, a comprehensive refinancing whereby it raised USD 400 million, made up of a combination of USD 250 million in new equity through the Private Placement, and USD 150 million in new bond debt through the Convertible Bond Issue. In addtition, Songa Offshore obtained amendment agreement with respect to its two existing unsecured bond loans and its syndicated bank loan. Songa Offshore also obtained amendments to the long-term contracts for its CAT-D rigs under construction, including an average rate increase of 5% over the eight year firm contract period. The Refinancing is further described in Section 5 “ Background ”. The background for the Refinancing was Songa Offshore’s large funding requirements for the completion of its CAT-D rigs, combined with the significant losses made in 2012 and 2013 in connection with the upgrades and SPSs of two rigs and the loss made upon the sale of its rig “Songa Eclipse”. Songa Offshore did not expect that its funding through own cash flow, in combination with normal financing on the CAT-D rigs, would be sufficient to provide full financing for taking delivery of the CAT-D rigs. During 2013, Songa Offshore experienced a deteriorating cash position, and required certain temporary waivers to meet its bond covenants. In context of this financial situation, the Refinancing was intended as an integrated plan which, when completed, is intended to make Songa Offshore able to meet its industrial and financial obligations. 12.1.2 As at and for the quarters ended 30 September 2013 and 2012 Operating results Total revenue for the third quarter 2013 was USD 131.0 million compared to USD 150.5 million in the third quarter 2012. Operational revenue has decreased by USD 31.4 million from third quarter 2012 to third quarter 2013. The reduction of USD 19.5 million in total revenue is primarily attributable to USD 30.8 million of “ Songa Eclipse ” revenue in the third quarter 2012, whereas the rig was not part of the Songa Offshore fleet in the third quarter 2013 due to the sale of the rig on 3 January 2013. This is partly offset by the increase in operating revenue for the “ Songa Delta ” of USD 9.7 million as a result of the “ Songa Delta ” yard stay in Q3 2012. Furthermore, the negative impact on revenue is also reflecting that “ Songa Mercur ” during the third quarter 2013 was undergoing mobilisation, operational preparations and acceptance testing for the new contract with eniVietnam. Other revenue increased by USD 9.6 million from third quarter 2012 to third quarter 2013, mainly related to the amortisation of revenue from client during the “ Songa Delta ” and “ Songa Trym ” 2012-2013 yard stay that is recognised over the remaining contract period. Total revenue for January to September 2013 was USD 408.0 million compared to USD 445.3 million for 94

  98. the same period in 2012. Operational revenue decreased by USD 61.5 for January to September 2012 to 2013, mainly by cause of the Company having one less rig operating in 2013 compared to 2012. Rig operating expense in the third quarter 2013 was USD 65.5 million compared to USD 83.4 million in the corresponding prior year quarter. The decrease of USD 17.9 million is mainly explained by the operating expenses relating to the “ Songa Eclipse ” rig of USD 26.8 million in the third quarter 2012. This is partly offset by USD 7.3 million higher operating costs for the North Sea fleet, reflecting “ Songa Trym ” and “ Songa Delta ” yard-stays in the third quarter 2012. Rig operating expenses for January to September 2013 was USD 207.0 million compared to USD 239.5 million for the same period in 2012 , mainly owing to “Songa Eclipse” not being a part of the Company’s fleet in 2013 . General and Administrative (G&A) expenses of USD 12.3 million in the third quarter 2013, compared to USD 13.7 million in the corresponding prior year quarter. The decreased G&A expense in the third quarter 2013 is mainly explained by the Angola office not being in operation in third quarter 2013 due to the sale of the “ Songa Eclipse ” . G&A expenses of USD 40.9 million for January to September 2013, compared to USD 40.5 million in the corresponding prior year period. The G&A expense was positively impacted for the nine first months of 2013 by a reversal of USD 0.6 million in relation to equity based compensation and the Angola office not being in operation. Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) in the quarter of USD 50.6 million is USD 6.2 million lower than in the same period in 2012, reflecting USD 19.5 million lower revenue, partly offset by USD 13.3 million lower expenses. EBITDA for January to September 2013 was USD 152.8 million, USD 3.7 million lower than during the same period in 2012. The lower EBITDA for the first nine monts of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 is a consequence of lower revenue, counteracted by lower operating expenses. Depreciation and amortisation of USD 34.3 million in the quarter was USD 1.4 million higher than in the corresponding period prior year, primarily reflecting the life extension projects on “ Songa Delta ” and “ Songa Trym ” , partly offset by the absence of USD 8.1 million “ Songa Eclipse ” depreciation. Depreciation and amortisation of USD 102.7 million for January to September 2013 was USD 8.2 million higher than the corresponding period prior year on the same grounds as the higher depreciation and amortisation in the third quarter of 2013. Earnings before Interest and Tax (EBIT) for the quarter was USD 16.3 million compared to a loss of USD 92.8 million the same period in 2012. The increase of USD 109.1 million is largely attributable to the impairment of the “ Songa Eclipse ” rig of USD 116.8 million in the third quarter of 2012. EBIT for January to September 2013 was USD 50.1 million compared to a loss of USD 54.8 million the same period in 2012. The lower EBIT for the first nine monts of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 is a result of lower revenue, balanced by lower operating expenses. Net finance costs were USD 8.8 million in the third quarter 2013, compared to USD 13.1 million in third quarter 2012, explained by an increased capitalisation of interest related to the Cat D rigs as the project progresses. The third quarter 2013 finance costs are net of USD 10.5 million in capitalised interest on the Cat D newbuilds. Net financing costs for January to September 2013 were USD 27.0 million compared to USD 26.7 million in the same period in 2012. The tax charge in the third quarter 2013 was USD 1.5 million, being primarily withholding tax on revenue from “ Songa Venus ” operations in Malaysia. The tax charge for January to September 2013 was USD 3.2 million , mostly withholding tax on revenue from “Songa Venus” operations in Malaysia. 95
