Weatherford International plc

Item 8.01 Other Events. As previously disclosed, on September 3, 2026, the shareholders of Weatherford International plc (“Weatherford” or the “Company”) voted to approve changing the Company’s legal domicile from Ireland to Delaware (the “Redomestication”) through a scheme of arrangement under Irish law (the “Scheme of Arrangement”), whereby the Company’s ordinary shares would be cancelled and such shareholders would become shareholders of Weatherford International Corp, a Delaware corporation (“Weatherford-US”), subject to the sanction of the High Court of Ireland and other customary closing conditions. On October 27, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing that the High Court of Ireland approved the Scheme of Arrangement and the Company plans to effectuate the Redomestication on November 13, 2026. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated into this Item 8.01. In connection with the completion of the Redomestication, the Company initiated certain related restructuring activities at a subsidiary level. These activities are being evaluated for their accounting and tax implications, but we expect to recognize deferred tax assets which will result in a positive non-cash change to the Income Tax Provision reflected on the Company’s financial statements for the fourth quarter of 2026 currently estimated between $250 million and $300 million.
