Allegations:
New York, NY: A class action lawsuit has been filed against Transocean Ltd. ("Transocean"), the former CEO of Transocean, and the former CEO of GlobalSantaFe Corporation ("GlobalSantaFe"). As alleged in the Complaint, the action for violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is brought on behalf of all GlobalSantaFe shareholders and their successors-in-interest who suffered harm during the period beginning October 2, 2007 through April 20, 2010, inclusive (the "Class Period") as a result of the Company's false October 7, 2007 proxy.

The complaint in this action alleges that, on October 2, 2007, in advance of a planned shareholder vote regarding the proposed merger of Transocean and GlobalSantaFe, Defendants disseminated a proxy statement to the Class that contained untrue statements of material facts and omitted to state material facts necessary to make the statements that were made not misleading in violation of §14(a) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder. Specifically, Transocean is alleged to have misrepresented the quality of its drilling fleet and its safety practices. In fact, as was first revealed by the Deepwater Horizon disaster and its aftermath, Transocean was dramatically underinvesting in safety and exposing itself to a high risk of a catastrophic event. The false proxy induced the Class to approve the merger with Transocean for inadequate consideration, thereby harming the Class

If you acquired the securities of the defendants during the Class Period you may, no later than the Lead Plaintiff Deadline shown above, request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff through counsel of your choice. You may also choose to remain an absent class member. A lead plaintiff must meet certain requirements.
