This amendment to the Form 8-K
previously filed on August 1, 2007 (the “Original 8-K”) is being furnished solely to attach the slide presentation
furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report as an exhibit. This report does not otherwise change or update any information in
the Original 8-K or the press release attached as Exhibit 99.2 thereto.
The statements made herein that are not historical facts are 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. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements involving
prospects for the Company, expected revenues, capital expenditures, costs and results of
operations, market outlook, revenue backlog for the Company and other drillers, contract
opportunities and commitments, operational performance, rig demand, rig capacity, dayrates, rig
reactivations, rig upgrades including upgrade projects for the Sedco 700-series semisubmersible
rigs, newbuild and acquisition opportunities, uses of excess cash including stock buybacks, debt
reduction, fleet marketing efforts, rig mobilizations and planned shipyard programs. 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, rig demand and capacity,
drilling industry market conditions, possible delays or cancellation of drilling contracts, work
stoppages, operational or other downtime, the Company’s ability to enter into and effects of
the pending merger with GlobalSantaFe Corporation and related transactions, the terms of
future contracts, the availability of qualified personnel, labor relations, future financial
results, operating hazards, political and other uncertainties inherent in non-U.S. operations
(including exchange and currency fluctuations), war, terrorism, natural disaster and cancellation
or unavailability of insurance coverage, the impact of governmental laws and regulations, the
adequacy of sources of liquidity, the effect of litigation and contingencies and other factors
discussed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and in the Company’s
other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“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.

Item 7.01 of this report, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, nor will it be incorporated by reference into any registration statement
filed by Transocean Inc. under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically
