This Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) relates to the shares, par value CHF 0.10 per share (the “Shares”), of Transocean Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Switzerland (the “Issuer”). This Amendment amends the statement on Schedule 13D previously jointly filed by Frederik W. Mohn (“Mr. Mohn”), Perestroika AS, a Norwegian private limited company (“Perestroika AS”), Perestroika (Cyprus) Ltd., a Cyprus private limited company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Perestroika AS (“Perestroika Sub”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 17, 2022, as previously amended (the “Prior Schedule 13D”). As used herein, “Perestroika” refers to Mr. Mohn, Perestroika AS and Perestroika Sub. Unless set forth in this Amendment, all Items are unchanged from the Prior Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Prior Schedule 13D.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 is hereby amended by adding the following:
On Decem ber 12, 2022, Perestroika AS transferred 14,900,000 of its Shares to Perestroika Sub at a price of $3.73 per Share as an in-kind contribution to the capital of Perestroika Sub for which new shares of Perestroika Sub will be issued.
