Nabors said it received 13 shareholder demand letters alleging its Parker merger proxy disclosures were deficient; it calls them without merit but chose to add disclosures anyway to avoid expense and distraction. The additions include Nabors' 2025 forecast of Adjusted EBITDA of $1,106.4 million (against a $910.0 million FY-24 estimate), capital spending of about $590 million, and the Intrepid Financial Partners role as Nabors' adviser. The merger consideration and the January 17, 2025 Nabors shareholder meeting are unchanged, and the board still recommends voting for the share issuance.

Nabors filed Amendment No. 1 to its S-4 for the Parker merger, still marked preliminary. The deal terms are unchanged (up to 4,800,000 Nabors shares, former Parker holders about 31% of the combined company); the visible change is added tax language saying that if cash exceeds 20% of the total consideration, the merger would not qualify as a tax-free reorganization and would be fully taxable to Parker stockholders.

Nabors agreed on 2024-10-14 to buy Parker Drilling Company by merging a Nabors subsidiary into it, so Parker becomes a wholly owned Nabors subsidiary. Parker holders get 4,800,000 Nabors shares if Nabors' 15-day average price is between $42.70 and $99.62; above $99.62 the share count falls (a fixed $478,176,000 divided by the price), and below $42.70 they also get cash (4,800,000 shares plus $204,960,000 minus 4,800,000 times the price). Closing needs Nabors and Parker shareholder approval, antitrust clearance, NYSE listing of the new shares and an effective S-4, and either side can walk away if not closed by May 29, 2025; a $10 million termination fee applies in each direction under specified circumstances. Parker holders who sign voting and support agreements (the Supporting Stockholders) have agreed to vote for the deal, and will get registration rights and Nabors voting/lock-up agreements at closing. For existing Nabors shareholders, this means new shares will be issued and a vote on that issuance is required.
