5 Feb 2021material agreement● Neutral

On 2021-02-05 Nabors amended its shareholder rights plan (dated 2020-05-05, triggered at 4.9% ownership) so BlackRock is not counted as an 'Acquiring Person'. This depends on BlackRock's letter agreement: no 20% or greater stake, no single fund at 7% or more of the common shares, and acquisitions only in the ordinary course without seeking control. The board can remove the exclusion if BlackRock breaches those terms. The filing does not state the reason for the plan.

On 2020-10-29 Nabors Delaware issued $50.485M of new 6.5% notes due 2025 in exchange for $115M of its 0.75% exchangeable notes due 2024, with no cash proceeds. The new notes carry guarantees from Nabors and subsidiaries, including some lower-tier ones. It also amended the exchangeable notes' indenture so any future exchange must be settled in cash, not shares. This is the first step of exchanging older notes for new ones, and it reduces the face amount of the exchangeable notes (the cash-settlement change means those notes can no longer add shares).

24 Sept 2020debt financing▼ BadMajor

On 2020-09-24 Nabors amended its 2018 credit agreement (Amendment No. 4). Lenders get a first-lien claim on certain US and Canadian drilling rigs, and the 5.5x debt-to-EBITDA test is replaced by a minimum liquidity requirement of $160.0M. The guarantor coverage ratio rises from 2.5x to 4.25x, the general debt basket falls to $90.0M, and up to $500M of subordinated-ranking unsecured notes is allowed. Maturity, commitments and interest are unchanged, and lenders who approved were paid a 0.25% fee. This changes the December 2019 covenant terms and puts rig security behind the bank debt.
