We articulate some of the new items on Page 2 of the presentation. For additional information, please visit our website at www.seadrill.com.

To begin the discussion today, Per is going to take us through some of the third quarter highlights and some of the more recent developments in the offshore drilling market. Per is also going to discuss a number of Seadrill’s recent contract wins and the overall market outlook. Rune will then address our financial highlights and take us through the rationale behind our dividend suspension and also Seadrill’s funding requirements going forward.
