The statements made in the Transocean Fleet Update that are not historical facts are

Transocean Fleet Update include, but are not limited to statements involving the estimated duration
of client contracts, contract dayrate amounts, future contract commencement dates and locations and
planned shipyard projects. Such statements are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and
assumptions, including but not limited to, uncertainties relating to the level of activity in
offshore oil and gas exploration and development, exploration success by producers, oil and gas
prices, competition and market conditions in the contract drilling industry, shipyard delays,
actions and approvals of third parties, possible cancellation or suspension of drilling contracts
as a result of mechanical difficulties or performance, the Company’s ability to enter into and the
terms of future contracts, the availability of qualified personnel, labor relations and the outcome
of negotiations with unions representing workers, operating hazards, storms, terrorism, political
and other uncertainties inherent in non-U.S. operations (including the risk of war, civil
disturbance, seizure or damage of equipment and exchange and currency fluctuations), the impact of
governmental laws and regulations, the adequacy of sources of liquidity, the effect of litigation
and contingencies and other factors described above and discussed in the Company’s Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2006 and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC, which are
available free of charge on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may
vary materially from those indicated. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement,
and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.
