Executive Summary
Noble Corp plc subsidiary Noble Finance II LLC issued $800M of 6.250% Senior Notes due 2034 on June 11, 2026, under a new indenture. The senior unsecured notes are guaranteed by several subsidiaries and carry standard investment-grade style covenants and change-of-control protection. This is a routine refinancing/debt capital markets transaction that adds $800M of long-term fixed-rate debt, extending the company's maturity profile and providing liquidity for general corporate purposes.
