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 FMC Technologies SIS 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”).

Technip and FMC Technologies to Combine

Dear Forsys Subsea Employees,

We are excited to announce that Technip and FMC Technologies will combine to create a global leader that will drive change by redefining the production and transformation of oil and gas. The two companies have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding and expect to execute a definitive merger agreement under which the companies will combine in an all-stock merger. The combined company will be called TechnipFMC.

As members of the Forsys Subsea team, you have already experienced first-hand the benefits of the two companies’ alliance and you know that we share common cultures and values. In fact, the benefits of our partnership and demand from customers has been so compelling that we believe a combination of Technip’s and FMC Technologies’ entire operations will allow us to capitalize on and accelerate the success achieved by Forsys Subsea. Together, we will have a broader portfolio of solutions to increase innovation, improve execution, reduce costs and enhance customer success. We will be a leader in Subsea, Surface and Onshore/Offshore, with a comprehensive and flexible offering across each market platform from concept to project deliver and beyond.

We expect that, with enhanced scale and global presence, there will be expanded opportunities for personal development and career growth for employees of the combined company. Of course, there may be some overlap in certain job functions. However, our objective will be to create the strongest possible base of employee talent. This combination is about growth, and we are confident that we will be stronger together.

Keep in mind that, until the transaction closes, Technip and FMC Technologies will continue to operate separately. As Forsys Subsea employees, you can continue to interact with your joint venture colleagues as normal, however, you should not discuss anything that is outside the normal course of business. Any conversations outside the normal course of business must be cleared by our legal department.

Following the close of the transaction, Thierry Pilenko, currently Technip Chairman and CEO, will serve as Executive Chairman of the combined company’s Board of Directors. Doug Pferdehirt, currently FMC Technologies’ President and COO, who FMC Technologies announced on May 9,

2016 will be appointed as CEO of FMC Technologies effective September 1, 2016, will serve as CEO of the combined company.

The Board of Directors of the new company will consist of seven Board members designated by Technip and seven Board members designated by FMC Technologies.

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 JV is headquartered and the new corporation will be domiciled).

We believe that the combined company will benefit from the expertise of both groups’ employees and leaders. Together, we will establish a team to develop a detailed and thoughtful integration plan to make the post-closing transition as seamless, efficient and productive as possible. Because Technip and FMC Technologies already know each other well, we are confident that it will be a smooth integration upon closing of the transaction.

We expect to complete the combination in early 2017, subject to the approval of both Technip and FMC Technologies shareholders, regulatory approvals and consents, as well as other customary closing conditions.

We have included a list of FAQs to help answer some of the questions you may have about today’s announcement. Of course, we will make every effort to keep you informed throughout this process, keeping in mind that there are certain legal and regulatory requirements that we must follow. I know that I can count on you to maintain the same high level of professionalism as always. We will continue to provide you with updates as they become available.

It is likely that this announcement will generate interest from media and other outside parties, and it is important that the Company speaks with one voice. If you receive any inquiries, please refer them to please refer them to Lisa Albiston at lisa.albiston@fmcti.com or to Christophe Bélorgeot at cbelorgeot@technip.com

We are enthusiastic about this new chapter in our partnership, and hope you share our excitement. Thank you for your continued hard work and dedication to Forsys Subsea.

Sincerely,

John Gremp, Chairman and CEO FMC Technologies; Doug Pferdehirt, President and COO FMC Technologies; and Thierry Pilenko, Technip Chairman and CEO

Frequently Asked Questions – for Forsys Subsea internal use only

What is being announced? What is happening?

Technip and FMC Technologies have the intention to combine to create a global leader driving change by redefining the production and transformation of oil and gas. To do so, the two companies have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding and expect to execute a definitive business combination agreement under which the companies will combine in an all-stock merger.

The combination of Technip and FMC Technologies will create a leader in Subsea, Surface and Onshore/Offshore, TechnipFMC, driven by innovation and technology.

The new company will have a combined revenue of $20 billion and a combined backlog of $20 billion. It will have more than 49,000 employees in over 45 countries.

What is a Memorandum of Understanding?

A Memorandum of Understanding, or MOU, is a formal agreement between two or more parties outlining the terms and details of a mutual understanding. Though MOUs are not legally binding, they are considered serious documents by the law and signal that an official legal contract is imminent. Technip and FMC Technologies expect to complete the combination in the first quarter of 2017.

Why are Technip and FMC Technologies combining?

Together, Technip and FMC Technologies will create significant additional value for the employees and the shareholders of both companies by expanding on the success already achieved through their alliance and joint venture Forsys Subsea.

Together, they will offer a new generation of comprehensive and flexible solutions across each market from concept to project delivery and beyond.

TechnipFMC’s broader portfolio of solutions will increase innovation, improve execution, significantly reduce the cost of producing and transforming hydrocarbons and therefore enhance customer success.

In addition, TechnipFMC will bring together two complementary market leaders and their talented employees, building on the proven success of their existing alliance providing a strong basis for rapid integration.

The combined company will be larger, stronger and more diverse. It should thus be able to offer expanded opportunities to employees.

When will the business combination be completed? What approvals are required?

The companies expect to complete the transaction in the first quarter of 2017, subject to the approval of both Technip and FMC Technologies shareholders, regulatory approvals and consents, including expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the anti-trust rules, as well as other customary closing conditions.

Who will lead the combined company?

While there are still many decisions that have yet to be made, there are a number of important post-closing details which can already be shared: Technip Chairman and CEO, Thierry Pilenko, will serve as Executive Chairman of the combined company’s Board of Directors. Doug Pferdehirt, currently FMC Technologies’ President and COO, who FMC Technologies announced on May 9, 2016 will be appointed as CEO of FMC Technologies effective September 1, 2016, will serve as CEO of the combined company.

Opportunities should be communicated to employees as they are identified through the integration process after completing the transaction.

12.

Will there be layoffs as a result of this transaction? What about consolidation of offices?

This combination is about creating value and positioning business for growth. This is expected to translate into increased opportunities for many employees as a benefit of being part of a larger, more diverse company.

As we plan for the integration after closing, we expect to identify some areas of overlap in certain job functions as a result of the complementary nature of the two companies.
