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.

PRESENTATION MERGER TECHNIP – FMC TECHNOLOGIESTechnip and FMC Technologies jointly announced on May 19th, 2016 that the companies will combine to create a global leader that will drive change by redefining the production and transfor-mation of oil and gas. The transaction brings together two market leaders and their talented employees, building on the proven success of their existing alliance and joint venture, Forsys Subsea, uniting innovative technologies, common cultures and values, thereby enabling rapid integration. The combined company will offer a new generation of comprehensive solutions in Subsea, Surface and Onshore/Offshore to reduce the cost of producing and transforming hydrocarbons. TechnipFMC’s flexible commercial model will provide both integrated and discrete solutions to customers across the value chain. STRATEGIC BENEFITS OF THE COMBINATION Creates a leader in Subsea, Surface and Onshore/Offshore, driven by technology and innovation: the new company will combine Technip’s innovative systems and solutions, state of the art assets, engineering strengths and project management capabilities with FMC Technologies’ leading technology, manu-facturing and service capabilities. Together, TechnipFMC will engage with customers earlier in the development process to design, deliver and install more comprehensive solutions, rede-fining the production and transformation of hydrocarbons. Builds a comprehensive and flexible offering across each market from concept to project delivery and beyond: The combined company allows for a simplified, go-to-market strategy that spans from individual products or services to fully integrated solutions. With a single interface to ensure seamless execution, the combined company will significantly reduce the cost of development for customers for both new and existing fields. Accelerates growth: broader portfolio of solutions will increase innovation, improve execution, reduce costs and enhance customer success: The combined company will leverage both FMC Technologies’ and Technip’s competencies to accelerate technology innovation, integrate and improve project execution and reduce costs for customers. It will expand on competencies in digital life-of-field and data management services to reduce maintenance and enhance production. TechnipFMC brings together two complementary market leaders and their talented employees, building on the proven success of their existing alliance, enabling a rapid integration: The combined company expects its global reach, flexibility, advanced engineering capabilities, and distinctive technologies and competencies will position it as a global industry leader. Bringing together the two companies’ common cultures, talented employees and customer portfolios is also expected to drive profitable growth and value creation. FINANCIAL BENEFITS OF THE COMBINATION All-stock transaction expected to deliver at least $400 million in annual pretax cost synergies: The combined company will quickly implement its new organizational plan following closing. The combined company expects to achieve pretax cost synergies of approximately $200 million in 2018, and of at least $400 million in 2019 and thereafter. These cost synergies are in addition to the cost saving to be delivered through the plans that the two companies have separately announced previously. The cost synergies are primarily related to supply chain efficiencies, real estate, infrastructure optimization and other corporate and organizational efficiencies. Therefore, this transaction is expected to be significantly accretive to both companies’ earnings per share. In addition, revenue synergies are expected to be achieved from the integrated subsea project execution model. Diversifies revenue mix and drives cash flow: The combined company had a consolidated backlog of $20 billion as of March 31, 2016, providing revenue visibility over the mid-term. This backlog will drive well-diversified cash flow, providing financial strength and flexibility for continued investment in strategic initiatives as well as research and development. All of these elements make both Technip and FMC Technologies confident in the combined company’s ability to fund both an annual cash dividend and a share repurchase program. One of the strongest balance sheets in the industry: The all-stock transaction will create a company with a solid and sustainable capital structure by combining two of the strongest balance sheets in the industry. Bringing together two industry leaders will drive profitable growth and value creation, espe-cially as market conditions improve. TRANSACTION TERMS Under the terms of the business combination agreement, FMC Technologies and Technip will be merged into a new entity. At closing, each share of Technip common stock will be converted into 2.0 ordinary shares of TechnipFMC and each common share of FMC Technologies will be exchanged for 1.0 ordinary share of TechnipFMC. Upon closing, TechnipFMC shares will trade on the New York Stock Exchange and on the Paris Euronext Stock Exchange. 8 TECHNIP Notice of Meeting – Monday, December 5, 2016

the Cross-Border Merger Terms as a whole, under which it is agreed that subject to the completion of the conditions precedent provided for in Article 15 of the Cross-Border Merger Terms, the Company will transfer to TechnipFMC, all its assets and liabilities by way of a merger by absorption; the universal transfer of the Company’s assets and liabilities (transmission universelle de patrimoine) to TechnipFMC as part of the Merger; the setting of the completion date of the Merger from a legal perspective, which will be decided by the High Court of England and Wales in its court order approving the Merger, pursuant to Regulations 16 and 17 of the Companies (Cross-Border Mergers) Regulations 2007 (SI 2007/2974) as amended and subject to the completion of the conditions precedent to the Merger as described in Article 15 of the Cross-Border Merger Terms (the time and date on which the Merger is to become effective, respectively, the “Completion Time” and the “Completion Date”); the setting of the completion date of the Merger from an accounting perspective on the Completion Date. However, from an accounting perspective, there is no transfer to TechnipFMC of the assets and liabilities of the Company.
