Controls and Procedures\n\nConclusions Regarding Disclosure Controls and Procedures\n\nRobert W. Eifler, President and Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) of Noble, and Richard B. Barker, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer) of Noble, have evaluated the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of Noble as of the end of the period covered by this report. On the basis of this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that Noble’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026. Noble’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Noble in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.\n\nChanges in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting\n\nThere were no changes in Noble’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting of Noble.\n\nLimitations on the Effectiveness of Controls\n\nInternal control over financial reporting includes the controls themselves, monitoring (including internal auditing practices), and actions taken to correct deficiencies as identified. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, however well designed, including the possibility of human error and the possible circumvention or overriding of controls. The design of an internal control system is also based in part upon assumptions and judgments made by management about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that an internal control will be effective under all potential future conditions. As a result, even an effective system of internal controls can provide no more than reasonable assurance with respect to the fair presentation of financial statements and the processes under which they were prepared.\n\n32\n\nPART II.
