Explanation of Responses:

1. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 21, 2007 (the "Merger Agreement") among Transocean Inc., Transocean Worldwide Inc. and GlobalSantaFe Corporation ("GlobalSantaFe"), at the effective time of the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement, each outstanding ordinary share, par value $0.01 per share, of GlobalSantaFe was converted into the right to receive 0.4757 ordinary shares of Transocean, having a market value of $129.39 per share as of the close of trading on the trading day immediately preceding the effective time of the merger, and $22.46 in cash.

2. Includes 71 ordinary shares issued in settlement of Dividend Equivalent Rights attached to GlobalSantaFe Restricted Stock Units. Dividend Equivalent Rights attached to GlobalSantaFe Restricted Stock Units, which vested pursuant to the Merger Agreement on Nov. 27, 2007, were converted into Transocean ordinary shares. The number of Transocean ordinary shares issued in settlement of the Dividend Equivalent Rights is equal to the total of the accrued dividend equivalent payments in respect of the GlobalSantaFe Restricted Stock Units on the vesting date, divided by the Fair Market Value (as defined in the GlobalSantaFe 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan) of Transocean ordinary shares on such vesting date, with any fractional share resulting from such calculation being forfeited without any payment in respect therof.
