Table of Contents
The notes will not be listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and, therefore, this prospectus supplement has been prepared without
regard to the disclosure standards of the listing rules (including any additional Listing Rules or prospectus schemes) of the SIX
Swiss Exchange. The notes will not be publicly offered in Switzerland and, therefore, this prospectus supplement has been prepared
without regard to the disclosure standards for issuance prospectuses under article 652a or article 1156 of the Swiss Code of
Obligations. Neither this document nor any other offering or marketing material relating to these securities or the offering may be
publicly distributed or otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland. This document has not been and will not be filed with or
approved by any Swiss regulatory authority. In particular, this document has not and will not be filed with the Swiss Financial
Market Supervisory Authority FINMA.
This communication is only being distributed to and is only directed at (1) persons who are outside the United Kingdom or
(2) investment professionals falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion)
Order 2005 (the "Order") or (3) high net worth companies, and other persons to whom it may lawfully be communicated, falling
within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Order (all such persons together being referred to as "relevant persons"). The notes are only
available to, and any invitation, offer or agreement to subscribe, purchase or otherwise acquire such notes will be engaged in only
with, relevant persons. Any person who is not a relevant person should not act or rely on this document or any of its contents.
Correction of Errors in Previously Reported Consolidated Financial Statements
As previously disclosed in Note 4 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Transocean Ltd.'s
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, we identified an error in our previously issued financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2011 and the three months ended March 31, 2012 related to the recognition of assets for insurance recoveries
related to legal and other costs, which we have concluded should not have been recorded because they were not probable of recovery. In
addition to the adjustments in 2011 and 2012 related to the assets for insurance recoveries, we recorded other adjustments related to the
years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the three months ended March 31, 2012 to correct for errors for repair and maintenance
costs, income taxes, discontinued operations, and the allocation of net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. Upon assessing the
materiality of these errors in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletins Nos. 99 and
108, we determined that these errors, collectively, were immaterial to the prior year financial statements. Since the correction of prior
financial statements for immaterial errors does not require our previously filed reports to be amended, the audited consolidated financial
statements included in Transocean Ltd.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the unaudited quarterly
condensed consolidated financial statements included in Transocean Ltd.'s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,
2012, both of which are also incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, have not been
corrected for these errors.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES AGAINST FOREIGN PERSONS
Transocean Inc. is a Cayman Islands exempted company and Transocean Ltd. is a Swiss corporation. Certain of their respective
officers and directors may be residents of various jurisdictions outside the U.S. All or a substantial portion of the assets of Transocean Inc.
and Transocean Ltd. and the assets of these persons may be located outside the U.S. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect
service of process within the U.S. upon these persons or to enforce any U.S. court judgment obtained against these persons that is
predicated upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws. Transocean Inc. has agreed to be served with process with
respect to actions based on offers and sales of the notes. To bring a claim against Transocean Inc., you may serve Transocean Ltd.'s
Corporate Secretary, c/o Transocean Offshore Deepwater Drilling Inc., 4 Greenway Plaza, Houston, Texas 77046, the U.S. agent appointed
for that purpose.
Ogier, Transocean Inc.'s Cayman Islands legal counsel, has advised Transocean Inc. that it is uncertain that Cayman Islands courts
would enforce (1) judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against Transocean Inc. or other persons that are predicated upon the civil
liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or (2) original actions brought against Transocean Inc. or other persons predicated
upon the Securities Act. There is no treaty between the United States and the Cayman Islands providing for enforcement of judgments, and
there are grounds upon which Cayman Islands courts may not enforce judgments of U.S. courts. In general, Cayman Islands courts would not
enforce any remedies if they are deemed to be penalties, fines, taxes or similar remedies.
Homburger AG, Transocean Ltd.'s Swiss legal counsel, has advised Transocean Ltd. that it is uncertain that Swiss courts would
enforce (1) judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against Transocean Ltd. or other persons that are predicated upon the civil liability
provisions of U.S. federal securities laws or (2) original actions brought against Transocean Ltd. or other persons predicated upon the
Securities Act. The enforceability in Switzerland of a foreign judgment rendered against Transocean Ltd. or such other persons is subject to
the limitations set forth in such international treaties by which Switzerland is bound and the Swiss Federal Private International Law Act. In
particular, and without limitation to the foregoing, a judgment rendered by a foreign court may only be enforced in Switzerland if:
·
such foreign court had jurisdiction,
·
such judgment has become final and nonappealable,
·
the court procedures leading to such judgment followed the principles of due process of law, including proper service of
process, and
·
such judgment does not violate Swiss law principles of public policy.
In addition, enforceability of a judgment by a non-Swiss court in Switzerland may be limited if Transocean Ltd. can demonstrate that it
or such other persons were not effectively served with process.
