4 Sept 2025debt financing▲ Good

On 2025-09-04 Nabors' lenders amended the 2024 credit agreement to let Nabors Delaware buy back up to $100.0M of equity per fiscal year, which reduces its room to pay dividends dollar-for-dollar (and vice versa). This permits buybacks; the filing does not say any will be made.

On 2025-08-20 Nabors sold Quail Tools, a business it gained in the Parker deal, to Superior Energy Services for $600.0M plus working-capital adjustments: $375.0M cash at closing and a $250.0M secured seller note due 2026-05-20 (7.50% for 180 days, then 10.0%). The press release says the sale cuts Nabors' net debt by more than 25% and expects about $5M of cash taxes; Nabors keeps the rest of the Parker portfolio. Shareholders now depend on Superior paying the note.

12 Mar 2025business combination● NeutralMajor

Nabors completed its Parker Drilling merger on 2025-03-11, resolving the pending deal. Each Parker share became a pro rata share of up to 4,800,000 Nabors common shares plus $562,000 in cash, and Parker is now a wholly owned subsidiary. Parker's $178.1M second-lien term loan (13.0%, due 2025-09-26) stays in place; the merger triggered a change-of-control requirement to repay or refinance it within 30 days or offer to repurchase it at 101%, and Nabors says it currently intends to refinance it with new debt, subject to market conditions. Parker's bank credit agreement was ended (no borrowings, $16.7M of letters of credit replaced under Nabors' facilities). Parker holders also got registration rights on their Nabors shares, and Parker financial statements and pro forma figures are to follow by amendment.
