Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands – Ogier
Cayman announced that it has successfully advised Transocean,
the Swiss-domiciled provider of global drilling management
services, on its multi-term, billion dollar senior notes offering
which closed on 5 December 2011.
The notes, which were housed in Transocean’s Cayman
Islands subsidiary, were priced on 30 November 2011 and have
maturity dates ranging from 2016 to 2041 with annual interest
rates ranging from 5.05 per cent to 7.35 per cent. The proceeds
are expected to be used to refinance existing credit with
any remaining funds applied to general corporate purposes.

our expertise in structuring global capital markets transactions
on this important notes offering for Transocean,” said
Ogier Cayman Partner Peter Cockhill. “A significant
and complex engagement such as this one is ideally suited

client of Ogier Cayman and this is a significant financing
transaction for them. We look forward to many more similar
