RULE 13e-3 TRANSACTION STATEMENT

INTRODUCTION

This Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (this “Schedule 13E-3”) is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by Parker Drilling Company (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation.

The Company proposes to hold a special meeting of its stockholders to consider amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a 1-for-100 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), followed immediately by a 100-for-1 forward stock split of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Forward Stock Split” and, together with the Reverse Stock Split, the “Stock Splits”). As a result of the Stock Splits, each share of the Company’s Common Stock held by a stockholder of record owning immediately prior to the effective time of the Stock Split fewer than 100 shares will be converted into the right to receive $30.00 in cash, without interest (the “Cash Payment”), and such stockholders would no longer be stockholders of the Company (the “Cashed Out Stockholders”). Stockholders owning 100 or more shares immediately prior the effective time of the Stock Splits (the “Continuing Stockholders”) would not be entitled to receive any cash for their fractional share interests resulting from the Reverse Stock Split, if any. The Forward Stock Split, which would immediately follow the Reverse Stock Split, would reconvert whole shares and fractional share interests held by the Continuing Stockholders back into the same number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by such Continuing Stockholders immediately prior to the effective time. As a result of the Forward Stock Split, the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by a Continuing Stockholder would not change as a result of the Transaction.

The primary purpose of the Stock Splits is to enable the Company to reduce the number of record holders of its common stock below 300, which is the level at which public reporting is required with the SEC. The Stock Splits are being undertaken as part of the Company’s plan to suspend its duty to file periodic and current reports and other information with the SEC under the Exchange Act. Each of the Finance and Strategic Planning Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Finance and Strategic Planning Committee”) and the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has determined that the costs of being a public reporting company outweigh the benefits thereof. The actions the Company would take to suspend, and events that occur as a result of such actions that would have the effect of suspending, the Company’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, including effectuating the Stock Splits, delisting the Company’s Common Stock from trading on the New York Stock Exchange, terminating the registration of the Company’s Common Stock under Sections 12(b) and 12(g) of the Exchange Act and suspending of the Company’s reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction”. After giving effect to the Transaction, the Company will no longer be subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act or other requirements applicable to a public company, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the listing standards of any national securities exchange.

This Schedule 13E-3 is being filed with the SEC concurrently with the filing of the Company’s preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act. The information contained in the Proxy Statement, including all annexes thereto, is expressly incorporated herein by reference and the responses to each item of this Schedule 13E-3 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the information contained in the Proxy Statement. As of the date hereof, the Proxy Statement is in preliminary form and is subject to completion or amendment.

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Proxy Statement.
