On February 16, 2021, the Issuer completed its separation into two independent, publicly traded companies: the Issuer, a fully integrated technology and services provider; and Technip Energies N.V., a leading engineering and technology player (“Technip Energies”). The transaction is structured as a spin-off of a majority stake in the Issuer’s Technip Energies segment in the form of a share dividend pursuant to which holders of TechnipFMC shares, including the Reporting Persons, will receive one ordinary share, €0.01 nominal value per share, of Technip Energies (the “Technip Energies Shares”) for every five Ordinary Shares owned by such shareholder (the “Distribution” or the “Spin-off”).

In connection with the Spin-off, effective on February 16, 2021, Arnaud Caudoux, an employee of Bpifrance SA, resigned from the board of the directors of the Issuer and all committees of the board to which he belonged.

All of the Ordinary Shares that are held of record by the Reporting Persons as reported herein were acquired for investment purposes.  The Reporting Persons retain the right to change their investment intent, from time to time to acquire additional Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Issuer, or to sell or otherwise dispose of all or part of the Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Issuer, if any, beneficially owned by them, in any manner permitted by law.  The Reporting Persons may engage from time to time in ordinary course transactions with financial institutions with respect to the securities described herein.

Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons currently has any plans or proposals which would be related to or would result in any of the matters described in Items 4(a)-(j) of the Instructions to Schedule 13D.  However, as part of the ongoing evaluation of investment and investment alternatives, the Reporting Persons may consider such matters and, subject to applicable law, may formulate a plan with respect to such matters, and, from time to time, may hold discussions with or make formal proposals to management or the board of directors of the Issuer or other third parties regarding such matters.

As of the date hereof, (i) Bpifrance Participations holds directly 24,688,691 Ordinary Shares, which represents approximately 5.5% of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares and (ii) CDC holds directly 1,144,237 Ordinary Shares, which represents approximately 0.3% of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares. As of the date hereof, neither Bpifrance S.A. nor EPIC holds any Ordinary Shares directly.
