Noble (Sell, TP: USD2.00) - Paragon Litigation Trust takes action

On Friday the Paragon Litigation Trust issued a lawsuit against Noble and certain directors of the company related to the spin-off of Paragon Offshore in 2014. The main focus of the lawsuit relates to the USD1.73bn of debt added to Paragon and the argument that it was a “fraudulent corporate spin-off”. Noble issued a statement today saying that it believes the claim is without merit. In our NAV of Noble at USD1.9 per share, we have not included any payments related to the Paragon Litigation Trust and consequently there is only downside to our valuation from this case.
