TABLE OF CONTENTS
ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
The Registrant hereby incorporates by reference into this Item 7.01 the monthly rig status
report, as of April 2, 2007, of the Registrant attached as Exhibit 99.1 which is being furnished in
accordance with Rule 101(e)(1) under Regulation FD and shall not be deemed to be filed.
Statements in this report that contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the current term, start and
end dates and comments concerning future contracts and availability and other aspects of the
Registrant’s drilling rigs. Such statements are inherently subject to a variety of risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or
projected. A discussion of the risk factors that could impact these areas and the Registrant’s
overall business and financial performance can be found in the Registrant’s reports and other
documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These factors include, among others,
early termination by the customer pursuant to the contract or otherwise, cancellation or completion
of certain contracts or projects earlier than expected, operating hazards, general economic and
business conditions, casualty losses, industry fleet capacity, changes in foreign and domestic oil
and gas exploration and production activity, competition, changes in foreign, political, social and
economic conditions, regulatory initiatives and compliance with governmental regulations, customer
preferences and various other matters, many of which are beyond the registrant’s control. Given
these concerns, investors and analysts should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the rig status report,
and the Registrant undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statement.
