Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 2, 2016, Hercules British Offshore Limited (the
Seller
), a subsidiary of Hercules
Offshore, Inc. (the
Company
), entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the
Purchase Agreement
) with Magni Drilling Limited (the
Buyer
). The Buyer is purchasing from the
Seller two jack-up drilling rigs named
Hercules Triumph
(IMO 8771320) and
Hercules Resilience
(IMO 8771332) in their entirety, together with everything onboard, including all broached and unbroached provisions, spare parts and
equipment onboard or onshore, rig site inventory, drawings, operating manuals, maintenance records, service contracts and all other documents pertaining to them for $130 million in cash. The Purchase Agreement is expected to close on or before
January 10, 2017, subject to certain closing conditions.
The summary of the Purchase Agreement set forth above does
not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
Item 1.03. Bankruptcy or Receivership.
As previously disclosed by the Company on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 6, 2016, the Company and certain of
its U.S. domestic direct and indirect subsidiaries (together with the Company, the
Debtors
) filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (
Chapter 11
)
on June 5, 2016 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the
Bankruptcy Court
). The Chapter 11 case is being administered under the caption
In re: Hercules Offshore, Inc.
(Case
No. 16-11385).
On November 15, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Debtors Modified
Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan (incorporating mediation settlement) (the
Plan of Liquidation
). On December 2, 2016, all applicable conditions set forth in the Plan of Liquidation were satisfied or waived and the
effective date of the Plan of Liquidation occurred (the
Effective Date
). The Company filed a Notice of Effective Date of the Plan of Liquidation with the Bankruptcy Court on December 2, 2016 (the
Notice of
Effective Date
). A copy of the Notice of Effective Date is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The registered securities cancelled on the Effective Date included all of the Companys common stock, $0.01 par value per
share (the
Common Stock
), as well as the Companys warrants to purchase the Common Stock exercisable on or before November 8, 2021 (the
Warrants
).
The Common Stock and the Warrants were cancelled and extinguished on the Effective Date.
The Company intends to file Form 15 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC
)
for the purpose of terminating the registration of the Common Stock and the Warrants under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act
). Upon filing the Form 15 for the Common Stock, the Company will
immediately cease filing any further periodic or current reports under the Exchange Act.

believes that its expectations are based upon reasonable assumptions, no assurance can be given that the Companys goals will be achieved, including statements regarding its ability to close the Purchase Agreement and filing the Form 15 filings
with the SEC as indicated above. Actual results may vary materially. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement.
