Disclaimer

The sustainability report is intended to highlight some of the sustainability performance of Noble Corporation plc, along with our management approach to material sustainability topics for the period 1 January to 31 December 2025; it is not a comprehensive description or representation of all of the company’s sustainability activities during that time. Events occurring on or after 1 January 2026 and up until the publication date are also covered in this report where indicated. This report has been informed by the original European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) with regards to potential future reporting requirements under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), but it does not seek to fully comply with any specific reporting standards requirements. In the context of this report, the terms “material” and “materiality” refer to ESG impacts consistent with voluntary reporting under ESRS standards and should not be confused with what would be considered “material” to us, our investors, or other stakeholders, or required to be disclosed in our filings, in each case under U.S. securities laws and the filings made to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any other laws or requirements that may apply to Noble Corporation plc.

This report is not filed with the SEC and is not incorporated by reference into any SEC filings. Nothing in this report is intended to modify, supplement, or update the disclosure in any SEC filings.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report are forward-looking statements including those regarding future guidance, sustainability projects, targets, or goals, including policies or practices and expectations thereunder, emissions targets, expectations for technological developments or anticipated benefits or timelines, the offshore drilling market and demand fundamentals, capital expenditures, capital allocation expectations, project schedules, and duration, any asset sales or the retirement of rigs, access to capital, and fleet condition and utilization.

Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and actual results may differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. When used in this report, or in the documents incorporated by reference, the words “guidance,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “on track,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would,” “achieve,” “shall,” “target,” “will,” and similar expressions are intended to be among the statements that identify forward-looking statements, and are not intended to create legal rights or obligations. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable as of publication, we cannot assure you that such expectations will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report and we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement for any reason, except as required by law. Risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those detailed in Noble’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, risks related to market conditions, changes in technology, customer actions, stakeholder preferences, and regulatory changes. We cannot control such risk factors and other uncertainties, and in many cases, we cannot predict the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. You should consider these risks and uncertainties when you are evaluating us. In addition, historical, current, and forward-looking sustainability-related statements have been and may in the future be based on current or historical goals, targets, aspirations, commitments, or estimates; standards for measuring and reporting progress that are still developing; diligence, internal controls, and processes that continue to evolve; data, certifications, or representations provided or reviewed by third parties, including information from acquired entities that is incomplete, subject to ongoing review, has not yet been integrated into the company’s reporting processes, or, once integrated, is not reconcilable with such processes; and assumptions that are subject to change in the future.
