We have had multiple parties, some of which are subject to a third-party contractual indemnity to our benefit, filed answers to the Limitation of Liability Action in the United States District Court Western District of Louisiana seeking damages related to physical and emotional harm allegedly suffered as a result of the Hurricane Ida incident. All parties have entered into settlement and release agreements with respect to the claims.

Future commitments under the contractual services agreements are estimated to be approximately $24.7 million annually. Total future commitments are projected to be $55.3 million in the aggregate over the remaining term of the agreement, including a maximum $37.0 million commitment for the purchase of consumables and capital spare parts owned and controlled by the vendor at the end of the service arrangement.Letters of Credit and Surety BondsAs of June 30, 2025, we had $18.2 million of letters of credit issued under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility and an additional $140.4 million in letters of credit and surety bonds issued under bilateral arrangements which guarantee our performance as it relates to our drilling contracts, contract bidding, tax appeals, customs duties, and other obligations in various jurisdictions.
