On September 3, 2024, before the market opened, Transocean announced "as a part of the Company's effort to dispose of non-strategic assets" it had agreed to sell the Developer Driller III and Discovered Inspiration, two of the Company's idle oil rigs, and associated assets, for an aggregate $342 million. Transocean further announced that the sales would result in an estimated third-quarter non-cash charge of up to $645 million associated with the impairment of said assets. On this news, the price of Transocean shares declined by $0.42, or approximately 8.86%, from $4.74 per share on August 30, 2024, to close at $4.32 per share on September 3, 2024.

The complaint alleges that defendants, throughout the Class Period, made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects, including: (1) the Discovered Inspiration and the Development Driller III were considered non-strategic assets; and (2) the Company's recorded asset valuations were overstated.
