This agreement therefore expanded the resources of this group by enlarging its capabilities for this type of drilling. It also managed to increase its orders by over 743 million dollars. The transaction for this acquisition was approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies and the top four shareholders of Ocean Rig which accounted for 48% of the shares, all the board members in fact owned shares and the third shareholder of Transocean, Perestroika, based in Cyprus, are under the control of Transocean’s Board of Directors and endorsed and signed voting agreements to support this strategic operation.
