Forward-Looking Statements
 
This communication contains “forward-looking statements.” All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements usually relate to future events and anticipated revenues, earnings, cash flows or other aspects of our operations or operating results. Forward-looking statements are often identified by the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “foresee,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “may,” “estimate,” “outlook” and similar expressions, including the negative thereof. The absence of these words, however, does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, beliefs and assumptions concerning future developments and business conditions and their potential effect on us. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate.
 
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include failure to obtain applicable regulatory or stockholder approvals in a timely manner or otherwise; failure to satisfy other closing conditions to the proposed transactions; failure to obtain favorable opinions from counsel for each company to the effect of how TechnipFMC Limited (to be renamed TechnipFMC plc) (“TechnipFMC”) should be treated for U.S. tax purposes as a result of the proposed transaction; risks associated with tax liabilities, or changes in U.S. federal or international tax laws or interpretations to which they are subject, including the risk that the Internal Revenue Service disagrees that TechnipFMC is a foreign corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes; risks that the new businesses will not be integrated successfully or that the combined companies will not realize estimated cost savings, value of certain tax assets, synergies and growth or that such benefits may take longer to realize than expected; failure to realize anticipated benefits of the combined operations; risks relating to unanticipated costs of integration; reductions in client spending or a slowdown in client payments; unanticipated changes relating to competitive factors in the companies’ industries; ability to hire and retain key personnel; ability to successfully integrate the companies’ businesses; the potential impact of announcement or consummation of the proposed transaction on relationships with third parties, including clients, employees and competitors; ability to attract new clients and retain existing clients in the manner anticipated; reliance on and integration of information technology systems; changes in legislation or governmental regulations affecting the

 
companies; international, national or local economic, social or political conditions that could adversely affect the companies or their clients; conditions in the credit markets; risks associated with assumptions the parties make in connection with the parties’ critical accounting estimates and legal proceedings; and the parties’ international operations, which are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and foreign exchange controls. 
 
All of our forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties (some of which are significant or beyond our control) and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that affect the parties’ businesses, including those described in FMC Technologies’ (“FMC Technologies”) Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other documents filed from time to time by FMC Technologies and TechnipFMC with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and those described in Technip S.A.’s (“Technip”) annual reports, registration documents and other documents filed from time to time with the French financial markets regulator ( Autorité des marchés financiers  or the “AMF”). We wish to caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any of our forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.

Speaker Notes - New business and regional structure for TechnipFMC 

Earlier this month, we announced the future business and regional structure that will define the organization of TechnipFMC. This new structure will be implemented following the close of our planned merger.
 
The following communication should be read in conjunction with the accompanying slide deck. It provides further information about:
 
 	■	Global Business Units	
 
 	■	Global Products	
 
 	■	Business Units	
 
 	■	Regional Business Units	
 
Global Business Units (GBUs)
 
As previously announced, the combined company will have four Global Business Units (GBUs):
 
 	1.	Surface Technologies led by Richard Alabaster, President Surface Technologies	
 
 	2.	Subsea Services led by Barry Glickman, President Subsea Services	
 
 	3.	Subsea Projects led by Hallvard Hasselknippe, President Subsea Projects	
 
 	4.	Onshore/Offshore led by Nello Uccelletti, President Onshore Offshore	
 
A Global Business Unit:
 
 	§	Sets and directs the strategy for the GBU worldwide	
 
 	§	Delivers a set of objectives including a GBU profit and loss (P&L) center	
 
 	§	Delegates, monitors and controls the business, and risks	
 
 	§	Prioritizes and allocates resources including people and assets	
 
 	§	Sets standards for processes and procedures applicable to the GBU	
 
 	§	Manages key talent and resources company-wide	
 
 	§	Acts as the final arbiter of conflicts	
 
Global Products
 
The new organization will also have a Global Products Group which will serve the GBUs. The Global Products Group will be led by Julian Waldron, President Global Products. Initially, this group will be structured as product lines supporting the Subsea Projects GBUs. All manufacturing sites within the Subsea Projects GBUs will report to Global Products whilst maintaining their close regional ties.
 
Business Units (BUs)
 
A Business Unit is a P&L unit supporting the GBU. It follows the strategy determined by the GBU and is responsible (including hierarchically) for all activities of a GBU in a geographic area (i.e. projects, services, functions, etc.) unless specified otherwise.
 
BUs and GBUs will operate in a matrix model enabling shared services across BUs. Support functions are shared across BUs unless it is absolutely necessary or more cost efficient to do otherwise.
 
1 	

 
	 	
There are 13 strong and empowered BUs supporting each of the 4 GBUs:
 
The Surface Technologies GBU includes the following two Business Units:
 
 	1.	Americas led by Alf Melin including North America, Latin America and Caribbean, Measurement Americas, Loading Systems America, etc.	
 
 	2.	International led by Graham Horn including Europe and CIS, Africa, Saudi Arabia, Rest of Middle East, Measurement International, Loading Systems International, etc.	
 
The Subsea Services GBU includes the following four Business Units:
 
 	3.	North America led by Jeff Mathews including the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Africa	
 
 	4.	South America led by Jose Renato including South and Central America (excluding Trinidad).	
 
 	5.	Europe, Africa, Middle East led by Ove Magne Kallestad including Europe and Russia	
 
 	6.	Asia Pacific led by Michelle Kinnes including Asia, India, Middle East and Australia	
 
The Subsea Projects GBU includes the following four Business Units:
 
 	7.	North America led by Jon Landes including the US, Canada, Venezuela, Columbia, Caribbean Islands	
 
 	8.	South America led by Nelson Leite including Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Guyana, Suriname and Fr. Guyana	
 
 	9.	Europe, Africa, Middle East led by Knut Boe including Europe, Russia and Africa	
 
 	10.	Asia Pacific led by Arnaud Piéton including Asia, India, Middle East and Australia	
 
The Onshore/Offshore GBU includes the following three Business Units:
 
 	11.	North America led by Harvey Vigneault including the US, Canada, Central America & Caribbean, Asia (customer-centric), North Sea (customer-centric)	
 
 	12.	Europe, Africa, Middle East led by Marco Villa including Europe, Russia, Middle East, India, Africa, Latin America	
 
 	13.	Asia Pacific led by Arnaud Piéton including Asia and Australia	
 
Regional Business Units
 
Among the 13 GBUs, five are Regional Business Units (RBUs) which will manage the shared services for a specific set of countries within a geographic area:
 
 	1.	North America (NAM) led by Jon Landes - Subsea Projects for primarily North American countries including United States, Mexico, Canada	
 
2 	

 

 	2.	South America (SAM) led by Nelson Leite - Subsea Projects for primarily South American countries including Brazil and Argentina	
 
 	3.	Asia Pacific (APAC) led by Arnaud Piéton - Subsea Projects and Onshore Offshore for primarily Asia-Pacific countries including Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Australia	
 
 	4.	Europe/Africa/Middle East (EAM) led by Knut Boe - Subsea Projects for selected EAM countries like Norway, UK and Angola	
 
 	5.	Europe/Africa/Middle East (EAM) led by Marco Villa- Onshore/Offshore for a set of other EAM countries like France, Italy and North Africa	
 
The countries covered by the RBU for shared services and local representation purposes are different from the business coverage by the BU.
 
The RBU represents the company for a given geographic area toward local communities and government agencies within a relevant geography. It also provides shared services to all activities within a geographic area and also receives services from Global Business Services (GBS), in both cases on a mutually agreed basis. The guiding principle is that the RBU within a geographic area will provide functional services to other BUs operating in the same area.
