Merger FAQs #2
September 1, 2016

1.	Why is this referred to as a merger of equals?	
 
 	•	 	This refers to how we are approaching the transaction of equals and how we’ve structured our merger.	
 
 	•	 	This transaction expands on the success of our Forsys Subsea alliance and joint venture, which was an equal partnership.	
 
 	•	 	Each company’s shareholders will own approximately 50 percent of the combined company.	
 
 	•	 	We will have operational headquarters in Paris, Houston and London (where the corporation will be domiciled).	
 
 	•	 	Thierry Pilenko will serve as Executive Chairman, and Doug Pferdehirt will serve as CEO of the combined TechnipFMC.	
 
 	•	 	The combined company’s Board of Directors will consist of seven board members appointed by FMC Technologies and seven board members appointed by Technip.	
 
 	•	 	We believe this transaction will create significant additional value for the shareholders of both companies by expanding on the success we have achieved through our Forsys Subsea alliance and joint venture.	
 
 	•	 	We will bring together complementary systems and solutions, assets and strengths in Subsea, Surface and Onshore/Offshore, driven by technology and innovation.	
 
 	•	 	Please note that the transaction is subject to and conditional upon regulatory and other approvals.	
 
2.	How will each company’s stock be handled upon closing?	
 
 	•	 	TechnipFMC will trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and on the Paris Euronext Stock Exchange (Euronext Paris).	
 
 	•	 	Following completion of the merger, FMC Technologies shares will be delisted from the NYSE and Technip shares will be delisted from Euronext Paris.	
 
 	•	 	Following completion of the merger, based on the shares outstanding as of the date of the Memorandum of Understanding entered into between the companies in connection with the transaction, former shareholders of FMC Technologies will own approximately 49.1 percent of the combined company and former shareholders of Technip will own approximately 50.9 percent of the combined company.	
 
 	•	 	Each owner of one share of Technip will receive two shares of TechnipFMC, and each owner of one share of FMC Technologies will receive one share of TechnipFMC.

3.	How and when will the core values be developed for the new company?	
 
 	•	 	An exercise to begin planning for the development of the new brand and core values is currently underway led by the Executive Team with the participation of Communication departments from both companies, as well as an external consultant.	
 
 	•	 	The complementary values, cultures and behaviors shared by both companies will be taken into consideration during this process.	
 
4.	How are we going to get to know each company and our future colleagues?	
 
 	•	 	We believe FMC Technologies and Technip are a great fit — we share many of the same values and have similar cultures.	
 
 	•	 	We have been engaged in the Forsys Subsea alliance and joint venture since mid-2015, and believe the success of this partnership and demand from customers have demonstrated there are additional opportunities through a combination of our two companies.	
 
 	•	 	You will get to know your future colleagues as you work side-by-side with them, either as part of the integration planning process or post-merger.	
 
 	•	 	We will also share information about each company during the integration planning process.	
 
5.	How will three headquarters work together effectively and where specifically will they be located?	
 
 	•	 	We are both global companies with operations all over the world.	
 
 	•	 	TechnipFMC will have its operational headquarters in Paris, France (where the Executive Chairman will have his principal office); in Houston, Texas, USA (where the CEO will have his principal office); and in London, United Kingdom (where the Forsys Subsea alliance and joint venture is headquartered and the new corporation will be domiciled).	
 
 	•	 	Being co-located allows us to have the advantage of more face-to-face communication, which we believe will be useful as we continue to develop our new teams and organization.	
 
 	•	 	Following the closing of the transaction, we believe that having multiple headquarters will leverage our distributed leadership team to increase responsiveness to our customers and employees across the company.	
 
6.	What changes will we expect as a result of the company being domiciled in the UK? Does Brexit have an impact?	
 
 	•	 	London is a natural place to domicile the new company and recent developments have no material impact on our operations, our plans or the pending merger.	
 
 	•	 	The significant benefits of the merger are not dependent on where we are headquartered, nor will they be diminished if the UK leaves the European Union.	
 
 	•	 	We remain confident in the timeline and are moving toward closing the transaction.

7.	When can we expect more communication about organizational structure and key appointments?	
 
 	•	 	Designing the new company organization is a key part of the integration planning process.	
 
 	•	 	The first step is to define the new company’s operating model and related structure. We will then identify the individuals who will lead each of the key business areas.

8.	What will happen to my compensation and benefits package?

11.	What is the role of the Program Management Office (PMO) and how will the integration process work?	
 
 	•	 	On Aug. 8, 2016, we announced that a Program Management Office (PMO) organization had been established to oversee the joint integration planning activities required to position TechnipFMC for ‘Day One’ success and beyond.	
 
 	•	 	Since then, our two companies have been working together to develop the PMO structure, governance and operating principles, and identify key appointments.	
 
 	•	 	The PMO is also responsible for raising relevant issues and key decisions with the Executive Sponsor Team to ensure that it meets synergy targets and achieves the strategic aspirations and goals for the new company.	
 
 	•	 	The integration process has two major phases: the planning phase, which has already begun; and the execution phase, which will begin following the close of the transaction.	
 
 	•	 	The PMO has made significant progress in setting up the integration architecture and teams, and expects that this phase will be completed shortly.

12.	What is a functional workstream?	
 
 	•	 	Given the scale of the integration effort, we have divided the work into multiple workstreams.

 	•	 	Functional workstreams include: Subsea Integration; Surface and Onshore/Offshore Integration; Global Business Services (GBS); Supply Chain/Procurement; HR Policies and Sustainable Development; Facilities; Communication/Branding; IT; Finance; Legal and Compliance; Research and Development; Quality; Key Account Management; HSE; Security; and Insurance.	
 
13.	What is a business workstream?	
 
 	•	 	Given the scale of the integration effort, we have divided the business work into multiple workstreams.	
 
 	•	 	The mandate of business workstreams is to tailor integration plans to the specific business and regional needs and to ensure execution of these plans.	
 
 	•	 	Business workstreams include: Subsea Projects; Subsea Services; Subsea Products (including Manufacturing); Onshore/Offshore; and Surface.	
 
14.	How will integration decisions be made?

 	•	 	In all of our decisions, we are committed to treating all employees at both companies fairly and with respect as we move through this process.	
 
 	•	 	Similarly, we are committed to operating with transparency and keeping you informed throughout this process.	
 
15.	Will each of the integration planning teams develop organization charts for their functions/business units prior to ‘Day One’?	
 
 	•	 	It is important to remember that organizing a new company takes time, and we want to ensure that we are putting in place the right organizational structure.	
 
 	•	 	Once we have decided the best structure for our combined businesses, we will begin to populate the organization with the aim of ensuring that the positions are filled most effectively.	
 
 	•	 	We will announce those structural decisions and new roles as soon as possible.

16.	When will the merger close? Do we anticipate any challenges between now and closing?

17.	Do we expect to consolidate facilities once we merge?	
 
 	•	 	We recognize the importance of maintaining our company’s respective footprints in order for the combined company to be successful and develop its new culture in a productive environment.	
 
 	•	 	That said, a result of co-locating may be consolidation in locations where both companies have facilities also so that we may deliver on our savings targets.	
 
18.	Is there a plan for ‘Day One’ and beyond for TechnipFMC?	
 
 	•	 	We’re creating a unique offering with a unique set of competencies and skills that is unparalleled in the industry.

 	•	 	As we plan for the integration after closing, we cannot rule out that there may be some areas of overlap in certain job functions, but it’s too early to assess this.	
 
 	•	 	Overall, we expect that with greater scale and an enhanced global presence, there will be expanded opportunities for personal development and career growth for employees of the combined company.	
 
 	•	 	We are dedicated to making all decisions promptly and committed to treating all employees at both companies fairly and with respect as we move through this process.	
 
20.	How will we manage the relationships with existing clients and suppliers after closing?	
 
 	•	 	In most cases, client relationships will remain with their current team after the merger is complete.	
 
 	•	 	If dual agreements create conflicts, management of the combined company will work with clients and suppliers to resolve issues fairly.	
 
 	•	 	Please remember that, until this transaction closes, we will continue operating as separate companies, and our alliance and joint venture will continue unchanged.	
 
 	•	 	Our customer relationships remain our top priority.	
 
 	•	 	We will continue providing updates as they become available.
