PACIFIC DRILLING S.A. (NYSE:PACD) announced today that it has extended its previously announced consent solicitation by its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Drilling V Limited (the "Company”) in respect of the Company’s 7.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the "Notes”) and increased the consent payment offered to consenting holders.

The amount of the consent payment for holders of the Notes delivering a valid and unrevoked consent may be up to approximately $22 million, subject to successful completion of the consent solicitation.

The consent solicitation was commenced on September 22, 2016 upon the terms and conditions described in a solicitation statement dated September 22, 2016 issued to the holders of the Notes. As extended, the consent solicitation will now expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on October 5, 2016, unless it is withdrawn or further extended by the Company in its sole discretion.
