Certain information in the table, including expected contract expiration dates, are estimates based on current arrangements with Pride’s customers and current expectations as to the time required for completion of projects.

2

Dayrates shown estimate average revenue per day. They include deferred mobilization amortization, and exclude reimbursable items, demobilization fees, bonus and other items that constitute revenues under generally accepted accounting principles, but are not practicable to determine with specificity on a prospective basis. The Company believes this information is useful to investors in estimating revenues in future periods in combination with the contract term.

The information in this release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements include statements concerning contract expiration dates and dayrates. Such statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including without limitation early termination by the customer pursuant to the contract or otherwise, cancellation or completion of certain contracts earlier than expected, operational difficulties and other factors described in Pride’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or the Company’s website at www.prideinternational.com. Pride cautions you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected or implied in these statements.
