Transocean will lower its annual dividend from $3 to $0,60 per share.

Transocean`s Board recommends that the company`s shareholders approve a U.S. dollar-denominated dividend of $0.60 per share, or approximately $217 million in the aggregate (based upon the number of currently outstanding shares), out of additional paid-in capital. The Board expects that the proposed dividend will be payable in four quarterly installments set for June 2015, September 2015, December 2015, and March 2016.

In the interest of all of its stakeholders, and in the context of a cyclical and capital-intensive industry, the Board remains focused on driving long-term value through the execution of the company`s disciplined and balanced capital allocation strategy. This strategy includes maintaining a strong, flexible balance sheet and an investment grade rating on the company`s debt; value-creating reinvestment in the business; and a competitive and sustainable distribution of cash to shareholders. The Board believes that the level of the proposed dividend supports these objectives.
