Executive Summary

Seadrill held its 2026 Annual General Meeting on June 3, 2026, where shareholders approved all six proposals, including the re-election of nine directors, the appointment of PwC as auditor, and Amendment No. 1 to the 2022 Management Incentive Plan, which increases the share reserve by 1,400,000 shares to a total of 4,310,053 shares. This is a routine governance filing with no material financial impact — the incentive plan amendment adds modest dilution potential but is standard practice.
