30 Nov 2012material agreement termination▲ GoodMajor

Nabors signed a new unsecured revolving credit facility of up to $1.5 billion (expandable to $1.95 billion, five-year term) on November 29, 2012, with Nabors Industries, Inc. and Nabors Canada as borrowers and the parent guaranteeing. It replaced and terminated the September 2010 and April 2011 revolvers, which were repaid in full with only nominal breakage costs; this resolves the open question about how those two facilities related, as both are now gone. The press release states the new facility extends maturity by three years to 2017.
