Item 1.  Security and Issuer.

 

This Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) relates to A ordinary shares, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) of Noble Corporation plc, a public limited company incorporated and registered in England and Wales (the “Issuer”). The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 13135 Dairy Ashford, Suite 800, Sugar Land, Texas 77478.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background

 

This Schedule 13D is being filed by APMH Invest A/S (“APMH Invest”), a company incorporated in Denmark. APMH Invest is a wholly owned direct subsidiary of A.P. Møller Holding A/S, a company incorporated in Denmark (“APMH”), which is in turn a wholly owned direct subsidiary of A.P. Møller og Hustru Chastine Mc-Kinney Møllers Fond til almene Formaal, a commercial foundation established under the laws of Denmark (the “A.P. Moller Foundation”). The A.P. Moller Foundation, APMH and APMH Invest are collectively referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons.”

 

The address of the principal executive offices for each of the Reporting Persons is Esplanaden 50, 1263 Copenhagen K, Denmark.

 

The A.P. Moller Foundation is a “self-owning” institution; it has no shareholders or owners and its affairs are managed by a board of trustees and executive management under the regulatory supervision of the Danish Business Authority. Its principal business purpose is to maintain ownership and control of A.P. Møller – Maersk A/S, a public company incorporated in Denmark, and to support certain specified charitable causes. APMH manages the commercial activities of the A.P. Moller Foundation. APMH Invest invests in a diversified range of businesses on behalf of APMH (and ultimately the A.P. Moller Foundation).

 

In accordance with the provisions of General Instruction C to Schedule 13D, information concerning the name, business address, citizenship and present principal occupation or employment (and the name, principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted) of each director, executive officer or other person controlling each of the A.P. Moller Foundation, APMH and APMH Invest (collectively, the “Covered Persons”), as required by Item 2 of Schedule 13D, is set forth in Schedule I hereto and is incorporated by reference herein. Each of the Covered Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any Ordinary Shares held by any of the Reporting Persons.

 

During the last five years the Reporting Persons have not and, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, without independent verification, none of the Covered Persons identified on Schedule I hereto has been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

Pursuant to that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of November 10, 2021 (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, Noble Corporation, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability (“Noble”), Noble Newco Sub Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of the Issuer (“Merger Sub”), and The Drilling Company of 1972 A/S (“Maersk Drilling”), the Issuer made a public offer to exchange each issued and outstanding ordinary share of Maersk Drilling, par value DKK 10.00 per share (each a “Maersk Drilling Share”), for 1.6137 Ordinary Shares (the “Exchange Offer”).

 

Pursuant to the Exchange Offer, APMH Invest tendered a total of 17,283,590 Maersk Drilling Shares, representing all of the Reporting Persons’ ownership interest in Maersk Drilling, and, on October 3, 2022 (the “Closing Date”),

 

 

 

all of the Maersk Drilling Shares so tendered were exchanged for an aggregate of 27,890,529 Ordinary Shares. All holdings in this Schedule 13D are reported as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

 

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

 

The information set forth in Items 3 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.

 

On September 30, 2022, and pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Noble merged with and into Merger Sub, with Noble surviving the merger as a wholly owned direct subsidiary of the Issuer (the “Merger” and, together with the Exchange Offer, the “Transactions”). Also pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on August 8, 2022, the Issuer announced its intention to make a public offer to exchange each issued and outstanding Maersk Drilling Share for 1.6137 Ordinary Shares. The Exchange Offer was completed on the Closing Date, the first business day after the completion of the Merger. As a result of the Merger and the Exchange Offer, the Issuer controls each of Noble and Maersk Drilling.

 

Pursuant to the Exchange Offer, APMH Invest tendered a total of 17,283,590 Maersk Drilling Shares, representing all of the Reporting Persons’ ownership interest in Maersk Drilling and, on the Closing Date, all of the Maersk Drilling Shares so tendered were exchanged for an aggregate of 27,890,529 Ordinary Shares, representing all of the Reporting Persons’ ownership interest in the Issuer and approximately 21.37% of the total outstanding Ordinary Shares as of the Closing Date (such percentage calculated based on 130,490,759 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of the close of business on the Closing Date, according to information provided by the Issuer to the Reporting Persons).

 

The foregoing description of the Transactions does not purport to be complete and references to, and descriptions of, the Transactions and the Business Combination Agreement in this Schedule 13D are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The Business Combination Agreement is further described in the Issuer’s registration statement on Form S-4 (Commission File No. 001-36211), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and declared effective by the SEC on April 11, 2022.

 

Effective upon the consummation of the Merger, Claus V. Hemmingsen, a member of the board of trustees of the A.P. Moller Foundation and of the board of directors of APMH, was appointed to the board of directors of the Issuer. In addition, Claus V. Hemmingsen, Martin N. Larsen, chief executive officer and member of the board of directors of APMH Invest and chief financial officer of APMH, and Robert Maersk Uggla, a member of the board of directors of APMH Invest and chief executive officer of APMH, each of whom served as directors of Maersk Drilling prior to the announcement of the Transactions and have continued to serve as directors of Maersk Drilling during the period since such announcement (including in the period since the Closing Date), are expected to continue to serve as members of the board of directors of Maersk Drilling until November 15, 2022.

 

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities reported herein for investment purposes and intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Based upon such review, as well as general economic, market and industry conditions and prospects existing at the time, the Reporting Persons may consider various alternative courses of action from time to time. Such actions may include: (i) acquiring additional Ordinary Shares and/or other equity, debt, notes, other securities or derivative or other instruments of the Issuer that are based upon or relate to the value of Ordinary Shares (collectively, “Securities”) in the open market, through private transactions, block trades, registered sales or otherwise, including in connection with business development transactions or financing commitments in relation thereto; (ii) disposing of any or all of their Securities in the open market, through private transactions, block trades, registered sales or otherwise; (iii) engaging in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Securities; or (iv) proposing or considering one or more of the actions described in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. APMH Invest may also determine to transfer the Ordinary Shares held by APMH Invest to another direct or indirect subsidiary of the A.P. Moller Foundation. In determining whether to carry out any of the above-mentioned actions, the Reporting Persons may consider factors such as the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Issuer’s board of directors, the price of the Ordinary Shares or other Securities, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions.

 

 

 

In addition, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with representatives of the Issuer and/or with other holders of the Issuer’s Securities and, from time to time, may suggest or take a position regarding, or participate in, a variety of matters relating to the Issuer, which may include, among other things, the Issuer’s operations, assets, management, corporate governance or capital structure or its control, strategic alternatives and direction. To facilitate its consideration of such matters, the Reporting Persons may retain consultants and advisors and may enter into discussions with potential sources of capital and other third parties and may exchange information with any such persons pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements. The Reporting Persons are likely to take some or all of the foregoing steps at preliminary stages in their respective consideration of various possible courses of action, before forming any intention to pursue any particular plan or direction.

 

Each of the Reporting Persons may, at any time, review or reconsider its respective position with respect to the Issuer and reserves the right to develop plans or proposals, including discussing, proposing or taking one or more of the actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, and may discuss such actions with the Issuer and Issuer’s management and the board of directors, other stockholders of the Issuer and other interested parties. Except as otherwise set forth herein, none of the Reporting Persons have any current plans or proposals which would relate to or would result in any of the events or matters described in (a) – (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
