ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

Noble Holding International Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and the issuer of the notes ("NHIL"), is
an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Noble Corporation, a Swiss corporation that is publicly traded and whose shares are listed on the
New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "NE" ("Noble-Swiss"). Noble Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by
shares and the guarantor of the notes ("Noble-Cayman"), is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Noble-Swiss. Noble-Swiss is not an issuer
or a guarantor of the notes.

This document consists of two parts. The first part is the prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of the notes, the
specific terms of this offering and supplements and updates information contained in the accompanying prospectus and the documents
incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The second part, the accompanying
prospectus, provides more general information about the notes and other securities that may be offered from time to time using such
prospectus, some of which general information does not apply to this offering. Generally, when we refer to the prospectus, we are referring
to both parts of this document combined. You should read both this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus together with
any free writing prospectus provided in connection with this offering and the additional information described in the accompanying
prospectus under the heading "Where You Can Find More Information" and in this prospectus supplement under the heading
"Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference."

If the information in the prospectus supplement differs from the information in the accompanying prospectus, the information in the
prospectus supplement supersedes the information in the accompanying prospectus.

Any information contained in this prospectus supplement or in a document incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement
will be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this prospectus supplement to the extent that a statement contained in this
prospectus supplement or in any other subsequently filed document that is also incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement
modifies or supersedes that statement. Any statement so modified or superseded will not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded,
to constitute a part of this prospectus supplement. See "Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference" in this prospectus supplement.

You should rely only on the information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, the
accompanying prospectus or any free writing prospectus provided in connection with this offering. Neither we nor the
underwriters have authorized anyone else to provide you with different information. Neither we nor the underwriters are making
any offer of these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted. The information contained or incorporated by
reference in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus provided in connection
with this offering is accurate only as of the respective dates thereof or, in the case of information incorporated by reference, only as
of the date of such information, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or
any free writing prospectus. The business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of NHIL and Noble-Cayman
may have changed since such dates. It is important for you to read and consider all the information contained in this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, in making
your investment decision.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus includes or incorporates by reference "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the
U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements
of historical facts included in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or in the documents incorporated by reference
regarding the integration and benefits of acquisitions, contract backlog, fleet status, financial position, business strategy, construction,
delivery and acceptance of newbuild rigs, contract commitments and terms of future contracts, dayrates, contract commencements,
extensions or renewals, contract tenders, the outcome of any dispute, litigation or investigation, plans and objectives of management for
future operations, foreign currency requirements, results of joint ventures or indemnity claims, timing of upgrades and deliveries, industry
conditions including the effect of disruptions of drilling in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, access to financing, taxes and tax rates, advantages of
our worldwide internal restructuring, indebtedness covenant compliance, possible amendments to, waivers under or restructuring of credit
facilities, timing for compliance with any new regulations, entrance into and the terms of a new credit facility, results of operations, future
capital expenditures and commitments, transactions contemplated by any letter of intent or memorandum of understanding, specifications
of newbuilds, impacts of any defaults, changes to credit ratings and use of the proceeds of this offering are forward-looking statements.
When used in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or in the documents incorporated by reference, the words
"anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "project," "should" and similar expressions are intended to be
among the statements that identify forward-looking statements. Although NHIL and Noble-Cayman believe that the expectations reflected
in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, they cannot assure you that such expectations will prove to be correct. These forward-
looking statements speak only as of the date of the document in which they appear and NHIL and Noble-Cayman undertake no obligation
to revise or update any forward-looking statement for any reason, except as required by law. NHIL and Noble-Cayman have identified
factors that could cause actual plans or results to differ materially from those included in any forward-looking statements. These factors
include those referenced or described under "Risk Factors" included in this prospectus and in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of Noble-Cayman, as well as Noble-Cayman's other filings with the SEC. Such risks and uncertainties
are beyond the ability of NHIL and Noble-Cayman to control and, in many cases, NHIL and Noble-Cayman cannot predict the risks and
uncertainties that could cause their actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. You should
consider these risks and uncertainties when you are evaluating NHIL and Noble-Cayman and deciding whether to invest in the notes.
