Dagens melding om dette er gjengitt nedenfor. Som man ser er over 99% av aksjene innlemmet i BDRILLs tilbud, mens de bare trengte 67% for å overta hele Paragon. Det formelle skal være ordnet ut på skjærtorsdag (i morgen)

Borr Drillings plan med å by på Paragon:
1) Få tak i enda mer billig (jack-up) tonnasje
- de gode Paragonriggene beholdes, resten avhendes etter foreliggende plan
- med dette blir BDRILL dominant i sektoren - nesten uten gjeld

2) Videre hentes inn en betydelig synergieffekt i at BDRILL på denne måten skaffer seg en eksisterende, erfaren driftsorganisasjon i stedet for å måtte bruke tid og penger på å bygge opp sin egen fra scratch.
- kanskje meglerhusene snart vil forstå dette også? :-)

Her er dagens melding i sin helhet:
