2019-2020 Shareholder Engagement Program

Management provides reports to the Board and its committees regarding the feedback received.

For our 2019-2020 engagement, we contacted proxy advisory firms and our top shareholders representing approximately 50% of our Ordinary Shares outstanding. Management, and in some instances, our Lead Independent Director or our Compensation Committee Chair, held meetings with proxy advisory firms and shareholders representing approximately 13% of our Ordinary Shares outstanding. Some shareholders did not require a meeting as they either indicated their support for our compensation and governance practices or did not have questions regarding our compensation or governance practices.

Our 2019-2020 shareholder engagement program allowed us to understand our shareholders’ priorities and perspectives, which prompted us to make several changes to our compensation program and to our disclosure philosophy.

For detailed descriptions of key shareholder feedback received, and our responses to such feedback, please see the section entitled “Corporate Governance—Shareholder Engagement.”

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Executive Compensation Practices

What We Do:		What We Don’t Do:
Pay for performance by aligning performance measures with our strategy and shareholder interests Provide the majority of NEO compensation as performance-based, “at-risk” compensation Maintain a clawback policy in the event of malfeasance or fraud Require robust executive and director share ownership requirements Engage an independent, external compensation consultant Benchmark compensation against relevant global and industry peer groups Cap performance stock unit (“PSU”) payout at target when relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) exceeds peers’ but absolute TSR is negative		No single-trigger vesting upon a change-in-control No guaranteed bonuses No uncapped incentives No tax gross-ups on any severance payments No excessive perquisites, benefits, or pension payments No discounting, reloading, or repricing of stock options No hedging and pledging of Company securities

In response to shareholder feedback provided in 2019, we have taken the following actions:

Eliminated the role of Executive Chairman following completion of post-Merger (as defined below) integration and reduced to a single, CEO-level compensation structure.

Discontinued the use of stock options so that performance-based equity will represent 70% of all annual equity awards beginning in 2020, and annual equity awards will comprise only PSUs (70%) and time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) (30%).

Retained the metric, EBITDA as a Percentage of Revenue, under our annual incentive plan to reinforce the link between annual incentive metrics and business strategy.

Continued the use of Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) in our long-term equity incentive plan, in addition to relative TSR. ROIC is an absolute financial metric that measures management’s ability to efficiently allocate capital, and performance for ROIC is measured against an internal target. The relative TSR metric is based on share price performance relative to an external peer group. Due to the cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry, shareholders have supported inclusion of both internal and external metrics in long-term equity incentive plans.

Based a portion of our CEO’s annual cash incentive bonus on certain sustainability measures to further reinforce the Company’s commitment to our Foundational Beliefs.

Updated our compensation and performance peer groups to reflect changes in our business environment.

Simplified disclosures in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis to provide additional details and calculations, including enhanced descriptions of the individual performance component of our annual cash incentive bonus plan, as well as our target-setting process and our peer group selection rationale.

For additional details regarding our executive compensation program, please see the section entitled “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Corporate Responsibility

and Sustainability

We are a global leader in oil and gas projects, technologies, systems, and services and provide our clients deep expertise across subsea, onshore/offshore, and surface projects. Our vision to enhance the performance of the world’s energy industry is supported by a relentless drive of every individual at TechnipFMC.

Core Values and Foundational Beliefs

Our core values are the drivers that guide how we act in a distinctly TechnipFMC way, so we can deliver on our purpose and achieve our vision. We bring our values to life through our behaviors—specific, observable, and measurable actions.

16	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Our Foundational Beliefs are the cornerstone of our values that describe how we fundamentally do business and what we never compromise on, no matter the circumstances.

Code of Business Conduct

Our Code of Business Conduct is built on our Foundational Beliefs and gives our directors, officers, and employees a common language and playbook for decisions and actions that help us live our core values. We are committed to

establishing and maintaining an effective compliance program that is intended to increase the likelihood of preventing, detecting, and correcting violations of Company policy and the law. Moreover, we have a hotline in place for employees, officers, directors, and external parties to anonymously report violations of our Code of Business Conduct or complaints regarding accounting and auditing practices. Reports of possible violations of financial or accounting policies are reported to our Audit Committee.

We will disclose amendments to, or waivers of, our Code of Business Conduct that are required to be disclosed under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and NYSE rules or any other applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Any waiver of our Code of Business Conduct for our officers and directors must be approved by the Board or a relevant Board committee. We have not made any such waivers, and do not anticipate making any such waiver.

17	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Sustainability

We believe corporate responsibility and sustainability is a key element of our Company’s long-term success and is, therefore, one of our Foundational Beliefs. To ensure that the Company is collectively focused on making meaningful and tangible changes, we have focused our sustainability efforts under three pillars.

Each year, we set key performance targets for each of these pillars and report our performance against these targets to our Board and other stakeholders. In addition to these annual objectives, the Company demonstrates its commitment in other ways.

For instance, in 2019, TechnipFMC reaffirmed its support of the Ten Principles of the United Nations (UN) Global Compact in the areas of Human Rights, Labor, Environment, and Anti-Corruption. The UN Global Compact requires an annual Communication on Progress, which is submitted and made publicly available on the UN Global Compact website.

18	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Additionally, our Code of Business Conduct requires that we, among other things:

Design sustainable development initiatives with a focus on long-term added value

Engage with local communities impacted by our activities in close coordination with our clients and contribute to social and economic self-sustainability

Anticipate and minimize potential disruptions to the community

Mitigate any negative impacts to local communities from our activities

Contribute to local employment growth by fostering training and transfer of skills and technology

Respect local cultures and be aware of local practices and traditions, legislation, and cultural factors that may impact behaviors and decisions

Our Code of Business Conduct also covers many sustainability issues, from fair employment practices and equal opportunity to Health, Safety, and Environment (“HSE”), human rights, and community involvement. We also have a Quality, Health, Safety, Environment, and Security (“QHSES”) program aimed at preventing accidents and incidents, ensuring personal and corporate accountability, and simplifying practices and processes across our Company. Backed by our Foundational Beliefs, our HSE and QHSES teams create a culture of engagement to develop the leadership behaviors that deliver enhanced performance and business results. For example, the Company is a proud member of Building Responsibly – an industry-led collaborative initiative enabling construction and engineering companies to collaborate around their shared values, advance their compliance programs, and agree on common approaches regarding worker welfare and human rights. We are specifically advancing compliance in recruitment, working conditions, and supply chain practices. In addition, we have a specific Environmental Working Group (“EWG”) that reports to the Company’s Corporate HSE team and coordinates a network of environmental specialists from all of our business units. The EWG sets environmental programs, supports the enhancement of environmental performance, and develops global environmental initiatives involving all of our assets and projects.

19	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Supporting Communities

Supporting Communities is our first sustainability pillar. Our Code of Business Conduct encourages employees to engage with local communities where we live and work, to contribute to their social and economic self-sustainability, and to ensure that TechnipFMC is a responsible corporate citizen in our communities. It is the foundation of that responsibility that forges our commitment to local communities.

Supporting Communities – Objectives

TechnipFMC supports and encourages its employees to volunteer and support their community development programs in line with our Code of Business Conduct and our Supporting Communities pillar, whose objectives include the following:
Go beyond our commercial obligations to create in-country value through initiatives in health, education, and local employment	Support and develop initiatives related to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)	Enable employees to volunteer and support initiatives

20	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Go beyond our commercial obligations to create in-country value Overall, in 2019, 346 initiatives were organized in 33 countries where TechnipFMC operates, which is a significant increase from 245 initiatives in 27 countries in 2018. Employees spent approximately 26,500 volunteer hours in 2019 creating in-country value through actions in health, education, STEM, local employment, environment, gender diversity, and other relevant and impactful local issues. Examples of initiatives launched or continued in 2019 in several countries are described below.		Increasing the number of community initiatives


Support and develop STEM initiatives In 2019, we focused on topics related to STEM and 58 initiatives were organized in 17 countries, which was a significant increase from 14 initiatives in eight countries in 2018. Our target of having at least one STEM initiative in each Company entity with more than 300 employees will be achieved by the end of the first quarter 2020. Initiatives developed in 2019 could be grouped in three main areas: working with schools and/or organizations to promote STEM for children, promoting STEM careers for students and young professionals, and promoting STEM for employees’ children.


Enable employees to volunteer and support initiatives In 2019, we launched our global volunteering program, iVolunteer, that enables employees to support initiatives in the communities where they live and work. The key purpose is to have a positive, tangible, and collective impact on these communities. iVolunteer allows entities and countries to develop volunteering initiatives to further engage employees. Globally, approximately 12,650 of our employees participated in local initiatives and spent approximately 26,500 hours volunteering in 2019, which is over double the 10,000 hours volunteered in 2018.

21	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Below are some examples of our outreach in our communities in 2019:

	United States		We participate regularly in numerous events, including Women’s Initiative Day of Caring, Target Hunger Day of Caring, and the Veterans Program. Other initiatives include being part of the Houston Heart Walk, an annual fundraising event dedicated to spreading awareness about health, and being a sponsor for the Energy Day Festival to promote the STEM fields for thousands of local schoolchildren.
	United Kingdom		Our volunteers have raised funds for, and partner with, local and national charities chosen by employees, including the Scotland Animal Welfare Charity, Chest, Heart and Stroke Scotland, Charlie House, Kayleighs Wee Stars, and Alzheimer Scotland. We also support events and network with other organizations that promote health, welfare, education, and diversity.
	France		TechnipFMC in France supports the non-profit organization, Elles Bougent (Girls on the Move). Elles Bougent promotes gender diversity in STEM, as well as more accessibility to young female students in technical and industrial careers. We also arrange for the collection of clothes, books, and toys in Paris for donation to local charities for children, the homeless, and vulnerable families. TechnipFMC also makes donations to schools and associations in France to finance educational programs. Moreover, since 2018, our employees participated in the Enfants sans Cancer (Children without Cancer) city race to raise funds and awareness for this cause.
	Brazil		In Brazil, we engage in a series of social and environmental programs involving underprivileged children and young students from neighboring communities to help them become better citizens and have equal opportunities. Also, in 2019, our volunteers organized a beach cleaning activity in Rio de Janeiro where half a ton of garbage was collected.
	Colombia		In Colombia, we promote the respect of human rights of vulnerable populations through workshops, donations, and assistance, particularly the recyclers, street vendors, and homeless communities near our Bogota office.
	Norway		Since 2018, our employees in Norway have participated in city walks, as part of our iVolunteer program, to raise money for local charities of employees’ choice, including children’s support charities, mental health charities, local hospitals, and charitable sports organizations.

Advancing Gender Diversity

Advancing Gender Diversity is our second sustainability pillar, and we believe it is not only a matter of responsibility, but also a business imperative for our success. We do not tolerate unlawful discrimination related to employment, and our Code of Business Conduct requires that employment decisions related to recruitment, selection, evaluation, compensation, and development, among others, are not influenced by race, color, religion, gender, age, ethnic origin, nationality, sexual orientation, marital status, or disability. We also ensure that our suppliers, customers, and business partners are aware of our goal of creating a diverse and tolerant workforce.

In the first quarter of 2018, we developed a global framework and key performance indicators for 2018 and beyond to promote and accelerate the development of women in all functions of our global organization.

Advancing Gender Diversity – Objectives

Our Advancing Gender Diversity objectives include the following :

Ensure gender pay equity

everywhere we operate and review all jobs to ensure gender pay equity and monitor them through a full review every three years

Improve gender balance in the organization, across all functions and levels

Promote women fairly and equally through the career development process

Ensure gender pay equity In 2018, we reviewed 100% of our Company job functions to ensure pay equity. We identified areas for improvement and completed all necessary salary adjustments in 2019 to ensure fair compensation for all of our employees. A job review and any necessary adjustments will be performed every three years to ensure that no pay gaps arise.


Improve gender balance In 2019, to foster a diverse and inclusive culture, the Company launched its “Diversity & Inclusion — it Matters!” e-learning module with an aim to raise awareness of our differences and help our employees improve as people and professionals. Our Company also fosters Employee Resource Groups (“ERGs”), which are voluntary, employee-led focus groups dedicated to a diverse and inclusive work environment. We currently have seven active ERGs with approximately 1,800 members in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Brazil, covering Diversity in STEM, Mothers Network, Black Organization for Leadership & Development, Young Professionals Group, Military Veterans & Friends Network, and Handicap Inclusion. Our ambition is to encourage participation in ERGs throughout the whole Company. ERGs discuss and promote topics related to diversity and inclusion, develop and organize workshops internally and externally, support local initiatives, and propose actions to improve accessibility and inclusivity for all at the workplace.

Respecting the Environment

Respecting the Environment is the third of our three sustainability pillars. We believe our environmental responsibility requires us to operate in a manner that minimizes the impact of our operations on the environment, develop sustainable solutions

to reduce carbon emissions within our overall environmental footprint, and avoid any environmental incidents in our operations and activities.

Respecting the Environment – Objectives

	Our Respecting the Environment objectives include the following:
	Reduce the carbon footprint of our facilities, products, and solutions and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions		Provide the carbon footprint of all our deliverables to clients		Establish an internal carbon price for the entire Company, including projects and operations, to inform and impact investment decisions

27	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Reduce our carbon footprint TechnipFMC is committed to reducing carbon emissions and its overall environmental footprint by developing new, innovative, and sustainable solutions in the oil and gas market. In 2019, the Company adopted a Global Greenhouse Gas Management standard to enhance the Company’s capabilities in greenhouse gas (“GHG”) reduction in the Company’s business. In 2019, total GHG emissions decreased by 27% from 643,469 tons of CO2 equivalent in 2018 to 469,955 tons of CO2 equivalent in 2019. The reduction is mainly linked to the closure of important engineering, procurement, and construction (“EPC”) projects that completed the energy consuming phases in the first quarter of 2019. In addition to our efforts in reducing our carbon emissions within our operations, TechnipFMC is also working to ensure our next generation of products are less carbon intensive. For example, our Subsea 2.0TM design included a lifecycle GHG analysis that demonstrated how our innovations for the production of trees may allow up to a 46% reduction in our carbon footprint as compared to the previous design. Moreover, a comprehensive Carbon Footprint Training Program was also launched by the Company’s HSE department for all business levels and projects. As of December 31, 2019, over 30 training sessions for engineers and managers had been delivered in key Company locations. This program is focusing on extended knowledge transfer, from the lifecycle perspective, and carbon footprint concepts to empower engineers in the implementation of a complete GHG analysis for all business lines and to increase managers’ competencies on the reduction of our carbon footprint at any company level.		Greenhouse Gas Emissions

28	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

The annual quantity of GHG emissions measured in tons of CO2 equivalent resulting from activities for which the Company is responsible and has operational control, is described in the table below:

Total GHG Emissions (in metric tons CO2 equivalent)	2018		2019
Total GHG Emissions (in metric tons CO2 equivalent)	Direct emissions Scope 1	Indirect emissions Scope 2	Direct emissions Scope 1	Indirect emissions Scope 2
Our Assets	254,535	60,401	283,545	39,932

GHG Emissions by Scope	574,058	69,411	416,117	53,838
Total GHG Emissions	643,469		469,955

To ease yearly comparison and trend analysis, industrial sites, offices, and fleet are presented under Our Assets, being TechnipFMC’s permanent sites fully owned and operationally managed. Construction sites and Yards/Bases are aggregated under Our Projects and presented separately as they are usually temporary sites that are not owned by TechnipFMC but operationally managed during the construction phase. They are subject to important variations from one year to another, depending on the number and type of ongoing projects and the type of construction activities (e.g., early site work, civil work, construction, pre-commissioning, commissioning, or start-up).

Within our Assets, Scope 1, direct emissions (“Scope 1”), increased minimally, due to fleet activities compared to the same period in 2018, while Scope 2, indirect emissions (“Scope 2”), decreased by 34% compared to the same period in 2018. This reduction is associated with the Company’s asset energy transition in place in different countries where businesses are shifting towards certified renewables in offices and manufacturing plants. As part of the transition, 4,210 tons of CO2 equivalent have been saved by renewable energy in use in offices and manufacturing areas.

With respect to TechnipFMC projects, a 59% reduction of Scope 1 emissions was registered in 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 due to the closure of several EPC projects in the first part of 2019. Scope 2 emissions increased slightly due to the restart of activities in several yards for new projects starting in the second part of 2019.

29	TechnipFMC

The annual quantity of emissions from the purchase of electricity, heat, steam, or cooling by the Company is described in the table below:

Total GHG Emissions from purchase of (in metric tons CO2 equivalent)	2018	2019
Electricity	69,304	53,725
Heat	87	0
Steam	0	0
Cooling	20	113
Total Emissions	69,411	53,838

GHG Emissions Intensity

The Company’s GHG emissions’ intensity factor is calculated using both direct and indirect emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions) as a numerator and the environmental hours worked (corresponding to sites that contributed to environmental data reporting)1 as a denominator. Hours worked has been acknowledged as being the information that is the most representative of the Company’s overall activity and is frequently used in HSE standards in the industry.

(in kg eq. CO2/hours worked)	2018	2019
Total GHG Emissions Intensity	4.07	2.99

Methodology

Environmental data is collected through our HSE reporting system, Synergi, a global, integrated software solution. Each of the Company’s reporting entities is required to consolidate and record its environmental data in Synergi on a monthly basis. This data reflects the environmental performance of entities involved in the offices, construction sites, yards and spoolbases, manufacturing, and fleet operations when we own or manage the site in question and when we are responsible for managing the work.

Environmental data is aggregated for the analysis in Asset and Projects categories: industrial sites, fleet, and offices are consolidated as Our Assets since these three categories represent TechnipFMC’s permanent sites (owned or leased) under full operational control, while the EPC Construction sites and Yards/Bases are not all owned sites but are all under the operational control and responsibility of the Company for short- to medium-term periods (less than five years of activities). These definitions are set out in the Company’s guidelines on environmental reporting and are in line with our HSE principles and standards.

The reporting period is the 2019 calendar year. Figures for environmental indicators have been extracted from the Company reporting tool for the period from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019.

To calculate Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions, energy data registered by sites for electricity consumption and fuel consumption are converted using emission factors from the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, 2006, and from CAIT v8.0, 2011. Emission factors are different depending on the type of fuel, method of generating electricity, and country. They are then integrated into the reporting tool that calculates the resulting CO2 emissions.

Environmental Coverage is defined as the ratio between Environmental Worked Hours in locations reporting environmental data and HSE worked hours in all Company locations. Environmental Coverage in 2019 was 93.8%, which was stable compared to 93.6% in 2018. In 2019, approximately 234 locations, projects, and vessels reported environmental data compared to 213 locations, projects, and vessels in 2018.

Provide the carbon footprint to our clients Our second Respecting the Environment objective aims to provide the carbon footprint of all our deliverables to clients through conceptual studies to help introduce our clients to new, low-carbon options in early stages of projects and highlight the carbon footprint differences between concepts as early as possible. In 2019, carbon footprint calculation modules were developed and are under implementation in both Onshore/Offshore and Subsea conceptual studies.


Internal carbon price Since 2019, TechnipFMC has been developing a mechanism to establish an internal carbon price for the Company, focused on our assets, which should be implemented as part of the future Company’s investment decisions for capital expenditures. We followed the highest international standards on this topic, and, in 2019, we formed a business integrated Internal Carbon Price Workgroup with the participation of our HSE, EWG, Strategy, Finance, and Sustainability experts. The purpose of the workgroup was to assess the potential impact of an internal carbon price on TechnipFMC’s capital expenditures. A case study was performed and several internal carbon price methodologies were applied. The case study emphasized the improvement of the Company’s cumulative cash flow, internal rate of return, and the reduction of the payback period, and valorized the most sustainable solutions in terms of carbon emissions reduction. As a result of the case study, we are further progressing the development of a global internal carbon price standard and guiding principles that will be implemented in the future.

Environmental Certifications

Despite operating in a complex industry, we are committed to successfully managing our environmental impacts by effectively measuring our environmental performance. The Company is operated in a manner that minimizes the environmental impact of, and risks associated with, our activities through effective environmental management standards that are implemented in an extended lifecycle perspective.

The Company maintains a policy of seeking to implement environmental certification ISO 14001 where practicable. To meet this commitment, TechnipFMC has implemented an environmental management framework. As of December 31, 2019, 64 entities have completed the transition to the new ISO 14001:2015 standard, including all head offices and managed projects, industrial sites, and fleet. For each of these entities, the environmental management system was verified and certified by an independent third party.

2019 Environmental Initiatives

TechnipFMC has also joined global initiatives for the protection of the oceans from plastic pollution. Plastic is a valuable resource that needs to be responsibly used. The Company is committed to reducing its use of single-use plastic in day-to- day working activities. A Single-Use Plastic Elimination (“SUPE”) project was launched in 2018 in 52 locations, comprising 28% of Company locations, and in the fleet with the aim of eliminating single-use plastic or substituting it with more sustainable and reusable items. In 2018, the SUPE project saved approximately 167,000 plastic bottles and 2.3 million plastic cups.

In 2019, the SUPE project has been extended to over 40 countries. Approximately 139 locations, comprising 76% of Company locations, and over 30 vessels and projects have completed the elimination of single-use plastic bottles and cups.

Corporate Governance

The Board believes that the purpose of corporate governance is to facilitate effective oversight and management of the Company to maximize shareholder value in a manner consistent with our vision statement, purpose, core values, Foundational Beliefs, Code of Business Conduct, and all applicable legal requirements.

The Board provides accountability, objectivity, perspective, judgment, and, in some cases, specific industry or technical knowledge or experience. In carrying out its responsibilities to our shareholders, the fundamental role of the Board is to ensure continuity of leadership; the implementation, understanding, and pursuit of a sound strategy for the success of our Company; and the availability of financial and management resources and the implementation of control systems to carry out that strategy.

Governance Guidelines and Key Board Practices

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines (“Governance Guidelines”) contain general principles and practices regarding the function of the Board and the Board committees. The Governance Guidelines establish a framework to guide the Board in its oversight responsibilities in a manner that is independent of management and aligned with the interests of our shareholders. The Board reviews these governance practices, the laws of England and Wales under which we are incorporated, the U.K. Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, the regulations, directives, and decisions of the European Union, the rules and listing standards of the NYSE and Euronext, and the regulations of the SEC, as well as best practices recognized by governance authorities, to benchmark the standards under which it operates.

Key Elements and Practices

Composition of the Board. Our Board seeks to attract professionals who are not only qualified under the governance rules pertinent to our Company but also bring diversity of thought and experience. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers multiple factors when determining whether a candidate is qualified to serve on our Board in order to achieve a balance between fresh perspectives and the deep knowledge and experience of our more tenured directors. As such, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee often considers a candidate’s:

(a)

Experience in corporate management, as a board member of another publicly held company, and in finance and accounting and/or compensation practices

(b)

Professional and academic experience relevant to our industry

(c)

Leadership skills

(d)

Cultural perspective and diversity of thought

(e)

Ability to commit the time required for service on our Board

Board and Committee Evaluations. Each year, our directors complete a self-evaluation to determine whether the Board and its committees are functioning effectively. Additionally, each of the Audit, Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance, and Strategy Committees conducts a separate evaluation of its own performance and the adequacy of its charter. These evaluations include an assessment of the diversity of talents, expertise, and occupational and personal backgrounds of the Board members. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee receives comments from all directors and reports the results of the evaluations annually to the Board, as well as recommendations for improvements in the overall performance of the Board and its committees.

New Director Orientation and Continuing Education. An orientation program has been developed for new non-executive directors, which includes written materials and meetings with our executive officers. The orientation program is designed to provide general information about our Board and its committees; a review of director duties and

33	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

responsibilities; and comprehensive information about our industry, operations, strategies, and challenges. The Board believes that ongoing education is important for maintaining an effective Board. Accordingly, our Board encourages directors to participate in ongoing education and reimburses directors for expenses incurred in connection with such education programs.

Retirement Policy. As further described in our Governance Guidelines, a non-executive director whose birth date occurs prior to July 1st must retire at the annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company during the year of such director’s 72nd birthday, and a non-executive director whose birth date occurs on or after July 1st must retire at the annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company the year following such director’s 72nd birthday. Our Board may waive this policy on a case-by-case basis on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee if it deems a waiver to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Director Share Ownership Requirements. Within five years following initial election to the Board, directors are required to own Ordinary Shares with a value equal to or more than five times the Company’s annual cash retainer paid to directors.

Shareholder Engagement

Our relationship and ongoing dialogue with our shareholders is an important part of our Board’s corporate governance commitment. Our Lead Independent Director and Compensation Committee Chair, or our executives and management from our Legal, People and Culture, and Investor Relations groups, meet with shareholders regularly on a variety of topics. Management provides reports to the Board and its committees regarding the key themes and results of these conversations, including typical investor concerns and questions, and emerging issues related to governance, compensation, safety, and sustainability.

Although we were pleased that our shareholders voted in favor of all of our 2019 proposals, the approval threshold of 70% for our 2018 executive compensation program was below our preferred threshold of 75% for our proposals. This vote outcome prompted us to engage with shareholders and proxy advisory firms earlier than usual to connect and understand the reasons behind the support.

As such, we contacted shareholders and proxy advisory firms after our 2019 Annual Meeting to seek their views specifically on our executive compensation program and any governance-related feedback, including those related to negative votes for some of our directors. These transparent and productive discussions allowed us to better understand potential disconnects between our disclosure and how our compensation program actually operates.

Furthermore, in early 2020, we further engaged our shareholders in order to discuss more broadly our announced spin- off transaction, our Board leadership structure, our general Board practices, our executive compensation program, and our sustainability efforts. We welcomed our shareholders’ feedback and suggestions in maintaining the balance between strengthening the link between pay and performance, retaining and motivating our executives, and appropriately compensating our executives for outperformance, while increasing long-term shareholder value.

Overall, for our 2019-2020 engagement, we contacted proxy advisory firms and our top shareholders representing approximately 50% of our Ordinary Shares outstanding. Management, and in some instances, our Lead Independent Director or our Compensation Committee Chair, held meetings with proxy advisory firms and shareholders representing approximately 13% of our Ordinary Shares outstanding. Some shareholders did not require a meeting as they either indicated their support for our compensation and governance practices or did not have questions regarding our compensation or governance practices.

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Board Responsiveness to Shareholder Feedback

In 2019, we adjusted certain features of our compensation program and updated certain governance disclosures based on insightful feedback from our shareholders.

	What We Heard		What We Did
	Reinforce the link between annual incentive metrics and business strategy		EBITDA as a Percentage of Revenue, which reflects the performance and sustainability of our business, was introduced as a metric under our 2018 annual incentive plan and continued as a metric in 2019, as many shareholders confirmed that this metric, in addition to EBITDA ($) and Working Capital Days, is an appropriate measure and aligned with shareholder interests. Continued the use of ROIC in our long-term equity incentive plan, in addition to relative TSR. ROIC is an absolute financial metric that measures management’s ability to efficiently allocate capital, and performance for ROIC is measured against an internal target. The relative TSR metric is based on share price performance relative to an external peer group. Due to the cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry, shareholders have supported inclusion of both internal and external metrics in long-term equity incentive plans. Our CEO’s annual cash incentive bonus in 2019 was based on Company performance measures and individual performance, the latter of which was based on specific objectives, including certain sustainability objectives to further reinforce the Company’s commitment to our Foundational Beliefs.
	Consider increasing the at-risk portion of executive compensation Some shareholders do not consider stock options as at-risk as they believe time-based stock options do not include performance conditions despite their intrinsic performance threshold		For 2020, we will discontinue use of stock options, and performance- based equity will represent 70% of annual equity awards.
	Improve transparency on outcomes under annual incentive plan and vesting of PSUs		This Proxy Statement provides details of performance and vesting for the 2017 PSU grant, our first PSU grant to vest since the merger of Technip S.A. and FMC Technologies, Inc. (the “Merger”) was completed in 2017.
	Some shareholders requested clarity regarding PSU payouts during periods of declining performance		All other incentive goals, performance, and payout outcomes were previously disclosed.
	Concern over the duration of two CEO-level compensation packages (for separate Executive Chairman and CEO)		We eliminated the role of Executive Chairman following completion of post-Merger integration and reduced to a single, CEO-level compensation structure. Mr. Pferdehirt’s compensation package was not materially increased with the assumption of additional Chairman duties.

35	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

	What We Heard		What We Did
	Disclosing shareholder feedback from shareholder engagement program and Company response		We have added additional disclosure of our shareholder engagement program, including this list of feedback received, and our response to shareholder concerns.
	Additional transparency regarding our directors’ other board commitments Some shareholders expressed possible concern with overboarding		The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee monitors the other board commitments of directors to ensure their ability to diligently serve on the Board and our shareholders. We have provided more detailed disclosures regarding how we evaluate our directors’ performance and commitment to our Company, including other board commitments.
	Additional disclosures regarding the Company’s sustainability focus		Sustainability is one of the Company’s Foundational Beliefs, and we have provided additional disclosures regarding our three sustainability pillars and our 2018 and 2019 sustainability efforts and achievements.
	Concern regarding the independence of one of our directors, Arnaud Caudoux, due to a commercial agreement between an affiliate of Banque publique d’investissement (“Bpifrance”) and the Company		We clarified our disclosure related to the Company’s commercial agreement with Bpifrance Participations to explain the limited nature of the scope and duration of this agreement.
	Concern regarding our director, Marie-Ange Debon’s, service on other public company boards when she also served as an executive of the Suez Group		We have provided additional disclosure clarifying that Ms. Debon’s directorship with Lydec S.A. was related to her duties and responsibilities as an executive officer of the Suez Group.
	Cautionary support for our Audit Committee due to previously disclosed material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting		We disclosed via our Form 10-K that our prior material weaknesses have been remediated and that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2019.

Leadership Structure of the Board

Following the retirement of our former Executive Chairman, Thierry Pilenko, in May 2019, the independent members of our Board gave thoughtful consideration to the Board’s leadership structure. The Board believes that our shareholders are best served by a Board that has the flexibility to adjust our leadership structure to the evolving needs of the Company. With the completion of the post-Merger integration, the Board determined that combining the roles of Chairman and CEO, paired with a strong Lead Independent Director, would be in the best interests of our shareholders.

Each of their specific responsibilities are listed below:

	Executive and Board Leadership
	Douglas J. Pferdehirt Chairman of the Board and CEO		Key Responsibilities All strategic and operational aspects of the Company Serving as the principal external spokesperson for the Company with analysts, investors, media, and clients Managing all executives of the Company Leading the Board High-level government and client engagement

	Independent Leadership
	Pascal Colombani Lead Independent Director		Key Responsibilities Approving Board meeting schedules and agendas Presiding over all meetings of the Board at which the Chairman and CEO is not present Presiding over executive sessions of the independent directors Acting as the liaison between the independent directors and the Chairman and CEO Monitoring and reporting to the Board any conflicts of interests of directors Participating in the Company’s shareholder engagement program

37	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

The determination to combine the Chairman and CEO role was based on the Board’s strong belief that a combined Chairman and CEO role leads to a more effective Board that remains balanced and independent due to the presence of a strong Lead Independent Director, while also creating a unified approach on corporate strategy development and execution and streamlining accountability for our performance. In making this determination, the Board also evaluated Mr. Pferdehirt’s performance as CEO and director, his positive relationships with other directors and senior management, and the strategic perspective, comprehension, and knowledge of day-to-day operations he would bring to the role of Chairman.

Balanced, Independent, and Effective Board – The Board believes that a combined Chairman and CEO leadership structure is balanced by the oversight of the remaining 13 members of our Board, each of whom is an independent director, and ensures that the Board functions independently. Moreover, only independent directors serve on our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. In addition, the Board nominated Mr. Colombani to serve as Lead Independent Director, who has the ability to call meetings of the Board and presides over executive sessions of the Board. For transparency and alignment, our Compensation Committee consults all independent directors in setting our CEO’s compensation, but the authority to approve our CEO’s compensation remains with the fully independent Compensation Committee. In addition, our CEO’s annual performance objectives are reported and evaluated by both the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to ensure a comprehensive, inclusive, and diverse analysis and evaluation of our CEO’s annual performance. Finally, the Board believes that the Company’s Governance Guidelines, and the quality, stature, and substantive business knowledge of the Board, as well as the Board’s culture of open communication and transparency with the CEO and senior management are conducive to Board effectiveness with a combined Chairman and CEO position.

Unified Approach on Corporate Strategy Development and Execution – Mr. Pferdehirt is the individual with primary responsibility for managing the Company’s day-to-day operations and is best positioned to chair regular Board meetings as the Board discusses key business and strategic issues and to focus the Board’s attention on strategies and opportunities of greatest importance to the Company and its shareholders. This has proven to be particularly important given the Company’s announced spin-off of Technip Energies. This leadership structure also allows the Board to benefit from Mr. Pferdehirt’s knowledge of the Company’s business, market opportunities, and risks, and facilitates communications and relations with other members of senior management.

Streamline Accountability – Combining the roles of Chairman and CEO creates a clear line of authority that promotes decisive and effective leadership, both within and outside the Company.

As our Company evolves, the Board will regularly evaluate the Board leadership structure to ensure it continues to meet the needs of the Company, and to ensure that it provides strong, independent oversight for our shareholders.

In particular, as part of this evaluation, the Board will take under consideration the outcomes of the annual Board and committee self-evaluation process as well as feedback received from shareholders, in addition to other factors, including the current state of the Company’s strategy and operations, recent Company performance, market and industry factors, and peer company practices.

The ability to make mature business judgments

In addition, the Governance Guidelines provide that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, or relevant subcommittee, may consider additional factors when determining whether a candidate is qualified to serve on our Board, including the candidate’s:

Experience in corporate management, as a board member of another publicly held company, and in finance and accounting and/or compensation practices

Professional and academic experience relevant to our industry

Leadership skills

Cultural perspective and diversity of thought

Ability to commit the time required for service on our Board

Board Composition, Refreshment, and Succession Planning

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee regularly evaluates the composition of our Board and considers whether the Board has the right set of backgrounds, experience, skills, diversity, and qualifications to effectively oversee our Company’s strategy and our executives’ execution of that strategy. One of the key goals of our Board composition is to ensure we have the right skills and experience on our Board to execute our strategic goals successfully and efficiently. Our current directors possess a diversity of skills, experience, and expertise that are relevant to our business, such as experience in the following:

Executive leadership

Industry experience

Corporate governance and legal

Strategy and risk management

Cultural and gender diversity

Sustainability and emerging technologies

Outside public company board service

Finance and audit

Acquisition, divestment, and investment portfolio management

In 2019, two of our directors, Messrs. Thierry Pilenko and Richard Pattarozzi, retired at our 2019 Annual Meeting. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, with the assistance of Spencer Stuart, a nationally recognized director search firm, identified, screened, and assessed the capabilities of potential new director candidates. This rigor assisted the Company in identifying and retaining two new Board members in 2019, Messrs. Olivier Piou and John Yearwood, as part of our ongoing Board refreshment focus.

In addition to evaluating directors’ skills and experience that tie directly to our business strategy, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also regularly considers any changes in the professional status, independence, outside commitments, and other public company directorships of our directors to assess the potential impact of these changes on the Board’s effectiveness.

As further described in our Governance Guidelines, a non-executive director whose birth date occurs prior to July 1st must retire at the annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company during the year of such director’s 72nd birthday, and a non-executive director whose birth date occurs on or after July 1st must retire at the annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company the year following such director’s 72nd birthday. Our Board may waive this policy on a case-by-case basis on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee if it deems a waiver to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Board and Committee Evaluations

The Board believes that a rigorous evaluation process is an essential component of strong corporate governance practices. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews regularly the Board’s composition, including the key skills and experience represented on the Board, to ensure it meets the changing needs of the business, also taking into consideration the outcomes of the annual Board and committee self-evaluation process, feedback received from shareholders, and evolving market best practices with respect to governance.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s annual evaluation process to evaluate Board effectiveness includes a full Board evaluation and committee evaluations.

	Process is Initiated		Evaluation Distributed		Analysis		Presentation of Results
	The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews and approves the process to evaluate the performance of the Board of Directors and its four committees.		Questionnaires are distributed through a third-party web-based platform. The process encourages candid responses from our directors and promotes productive discussions. Questionnaires solicit feedback on issues, including: Board/Committee operations Succession planning Committee composition, processes and effectiveness Board dynamics Director preparation, participation, and contribution Management preparation and communications		Completed questionnaires are analyzed and summarized by Company management and reported to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chair.		The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chair reviews the results of the evaluations with the full Board and each committee to determine areas of opportunity.

Board Commitments

In conjunction with our Board and committee evaluations, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for ensuring that our directors possess and demonstrate a willingness to devote the required time and attention to Board duties and to otherwise fulfill the responsibilities required of directors. During our 2019-2020 shareholder engagement, certain institutional investors and proxy advisory firms raised concerns about potential overboarding.

As noted above, a majority of our directors serve on just one or no other public company board of directors. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and our Board believe that each of our directors has demonstrated, and will continue to demonstrate, her or his expertise and ability to dedicate sufficient time to carry out Board duties effectively and diligently. Our directors’ outside board service or other commitments did not limit their ability to devote the required time and attention to their duties as directors of the Company as evidenced by the 100% attendance rate at our Board meetings for all but one director.

In assessing our directors’ ability to devote the required time to his or her Board duties, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the nature of the other companies on which they serve, including whether any board service is with a company that is either affiliated with their employer or affiliated with one of their other directorships. The committee also discusses with each director the time commitments and expectations of his or her other board duties to ensure that he or she can continue to serve the Company and its shareholders effectively. Noted below are examples of the relationships the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considered when confirming a director’s ability to serve on our Board.

Mr. Carvalho Filho’s duties as a director of Companhia Brasileira de Distribuicão (Grupo Pão de Açúcar) (“GPA”) include serving on the board of Cnova N.V., an affiliate of GPA. GPA has a 34% ownership interest in Cnova N.V. and three out of nine directors on Cnova N.V.’s board of directors are appointed by GPA. As such, Mr. Carvalho Filho’s role and time commitment at these two companies differs from serving on two traditional, unrelated publicly-traded companies.

During 2019, Ms. Debon’s duties as Senior Vice President of Suez Group included serving as a director of Suez Group’s subsidiary, Lydec S.A., which is a closely-held corporation of Suez Group. Lydec S.A.’s financials are fully consolidated with those of Suez Group, and as such, Ms. Debon’s role at Lydec S.A. differed from a traditional, publicly-traded company since her directorship was related to her position and responsibilities as Senior Vice President of Suez Group.

Enterprise Risk Management

Executive management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks the Company faces, while our Board, as a whole and through its various committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management for the Company. The Company has an Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) process and framework to identify and evaluate varying levels of risk and their potential impact on the Company, as well as steps to further mitigate those risks. As part of the ERM framework, our senior management, led by our CEO, undertakes a process that identifies, categorizes, and analyzes the relative severity and likelihood of the various risks to which the Company is or may be subject. In addition, our Board and its committees receive periodic reports from senior management that identify and assess significant enterprise- related risks and address mitigation strategies and plans implemented or proposed for each key risk. In 2019, the Company retained external consultants to review our ERM program and benchmark our risk identification and mitigation processes against best practices within the industry.

In addition, while the Board has ultimate responsibility for overall risk management oversight, it has designated each of its four Board committees with oversight of certain risks within their own areas of responsibility, as indicated in the table below.

Audit	Compensation	Nominating and Corporate Governance	Strategy
Financial reporting Liquidity	Compensation policies and practices (including employee benefit plans and administration of equity plans)	Legal and regulatory corporate governance compliance	Global strategy related to emerging or evolving competitive activity, governmental or legislative developments, and global economic conditions
Contract management		Director succession
Cybersecurity Legal and regulatory compliance related to financial statements and disclosures		Crisis management preparedness Emergency procedures for management succession
Information-related risks, such as cybersecurity, taxes, and foreign exchange		Environmental, sustainability, and governance
Insurance

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our Board has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and a Strategy Committee, each of which comprises at least four directors, selected by the Board upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each member of our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets the heightened independence standards

as defined under the NYSE’s listing standards and SEC rules, as applicable. Additionally, each member of our Audit Committee qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by SEC rules.

Following our announced spin-off transaction, TechnipFMC and Technip Energies will each have an Environmental, Sustainability, and Governance Committee to better reflect our focus on these critical areas. For TechnipFMC, this committee will replace its current Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

The Board receives regular updates from its committees on individual categories of risk, including strategy, financial/ operations, cybersecurity, people, technology, investment, legal/compliance, political/legislative/regulatory, and corporate responsibility and sustainability. Each of these committees operates pursuant to a written charter setting out the functions and responsibilities of the committee, which is reviewed annually, and may be viewed on our website at www.TechnipFMC.com under the heading “About us > Governance.”

Board Meetings and Attendance

Our Board met in person or by telephone conference seven times in 2019.

All directors except one attended 100% of our Board meetings in 2019. Mr. Ringler missed one Board meeting due to a family member’s illness, resulting in an 86% attendance rate.

All directors except two attended 100% of their committee meetings. Mr. Ringler missed a Compensation Committee meeting for the same reasons noted above, resulting in an 80% attendance rate, and Mr. Piou missed one Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meeting due to a previous commitment that was made known to our Board prior to his on-boarding in June 2019, resulting in a 67% attendance rate.

We encourage our directors to attend the annual general meeting of shareholders. Five of our directors attended our 2019 Annual Meeting.

Director Independence

Annual Review of Independence

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee conducts an annual review of the independence of Board members and reports its findings to the full Board, which then makes a determination as to the independence of each director, as defined under the standards adopted by the NYSE. These standards specify certain relationships that are prohibited in order for a director to be deemed independent. In addition to these objective standards, our Board makes a subjective determination of independence by evaluating all relevant facts and circumstances. In particular, when assessing the materiality of a director’s relationship with the Company, the Board considers the issue not merely from the standpoint of the director, but also from the standpoint of persons or organizations with whom the director has an affiliation.

The Board has not adopted a policy that deems a director to be non-independent after a certain tenure on the Board as we believe our retirement policy and natural turnover will achieve the appropriate balance between long-term directors with deep institutional knowledge and new directors who bring fresh perspectives and diversity to our Board. Our Board reviews director tenure in connection with its director independence determinations. If all of our director nominees are elected at the Annual Meeting, the average tenure of our independent directors will be three years as the Board believes prior service on our legacy companies differed in breadth and scope from current service on our Board.

The Board’s independence determinations included a review of all 2019 commercial transactions, relationships, and arrangements between us and our subsidiaries, affiliates, and executive officers with entities associated with our directors or members of their immediate family. Such transactions, relationships, and arrangements are summarized below.

The Board considered that Mses. Debon, Farley, and Priestly and Messrs. Houssin, Mellbye, O’Leary, and Ringler each served as directors or executive officers at companies that have had commercial business relationships with the Company in 2019, all of which were ordinary course commercial transactions

Arnaud Caudoux – The Company’s prior commercial agreement with Bpifrance Participations, a subsidiary of Bpifrance, was erroneously described as a “consulting agreement” instead of a subscription agreement in our 2019 Proxy Statement. Bpifrance, which owns Bpifrance Participations, is a Company shareholder and Arnaud Caudoux is Deputy Chief Executive Officer and an executive director. Under the subscription agreement, Bpifrance Participations provided access and introductions to start-up companies registered with Bpifrance Participations’ Le Hub that matched our Company’s investment criteria. Mr. Caudoux had no involvement related to this subscription agreement, and he did not receive any direct compensation or direct financial benefit from this agreement. The agreement terminated on April 1, 2019, and has not been extended or renewed. In addition, due to Bpifrance’s policies, Mr. Caudoux has waived his annual cash and equity remuneration for his services as a director, and asserts that he is able to act in the best interests of all TechnipFMC shareholders.

Pascal Colombani – Mr. Colombani is a member of the Europe, Middle East, and Asia (“EMEA”) advisory board of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which is a lender under the Company’s revolving credit facility and may be party to other ordinary course banking transactions with the Company. Mr. Colombani’s role as a member of the EMEA advisory board of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. did not involve any discussion or deliberations regarding the Company’s revolving credit facility.

Claire S. Farley – In 2019, after a robust due diligence and evaluation process, the Company selected KKR & Co. (“KKR”) to be its recommended provider for our Subsea clients seeking alternative financing arrangements. Ms. Farley is a Senior Advisor of KKR and was not involved in the preparation of KKR’s presentation to the Company, which was submitted by a separate group at KKR than the group managed by Ms. Farley. When providing these financing

48	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

arrangements, KKR would contract directly with the Company’s clients with no direct involvement of the Company, and Ms. Farley, in her role at KKR, has no involvement with any such contracts. Ms. Farley will not receive any direct compensation or direct financial benefit from the selection of KKR by the Company.

Didier Houssin – The Company is party to a technology development agreement with IFP Énergies Nouvelles (“IFPEN”), which is a shareholder, where Mr. Houssin is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The agreement was established in 2004 between Technip and IFPEN, which was prior to Mr. Houssin joining IFPEN as director in 2015. The agreement was amended in 2017, and Mr. Houssin recused himself from Board deliberations regarding the approval of the amendment. Mr. Houssin does not receive any direct compensation or direct financial benefit from this technology development agreement.

James M. Ringler – FMC Technologies and John Bean Technologies Corporation (“JBT”) are parties to a separation and distribution agreement and a tax sharing agreement that relate to the spin-off of FMC Technologies’ FoodTech and Airport Systems businesses (acquired by JBT) that occurred in July 2008.

Independence Determination

In determining that none of the relationships noted above affected the independence of any of the interested directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considered the nature of the transactions, the dollar amounts involved, and the respective director’s role, if any, in the transaction.

Based on the report and recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board has affirmatively determined that each of our non-executive directors is “independent” as defined under the NYSE listing standards. As such, following our Annual Meeting, 13 of our 14 directors will be non-executive, independent directors. In addition, the Board has affirmatively determined that all of the members of the Audit Committee and Compensation

Committee satisfy the enhanced independence criteria required for such members under regulations adopted by the SEC and NYSE listing standards.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation in Compensation Decisions

In 2019, the members of the Compensation Committee of the Board were Claire S. Farley, John O’Leary, Richard A. Pattarozzi (member through May 1, 2019), Joseph Rinaldi, James M. Ringler, and John Yearwood (member since June 1, 2019), none of whom has ever been an officer or employee of the Company or any of our subsidiaries or had any relationships requiring disclosure with us or any of our subsidiaries. None of our executive officers has ever served on the board of directors or the compensation committee of any other entity that has had any executive officer serving as a member of our Board or Compensation Committee.

Communications with Directors

To provide our shareholders and other interested parties with a direct and open line of communication to our Board, a process has been established for communications with any member of the Board, including our Lead Independent Director, the Chair of any of our committees, or with our non-employee directors as a group, by sending such written communication to c/o Lead Director, TechnipFMC plc, One St. Paul’s Churchyard, London EC4M 8AP, United Kingdom. We may move our principal headquarters after our spin-off transaction is completed. If and when this happens, please visit our website at www.TechnipFMC.com for our new address. All communications will be received, processed, and then directed to the appropriate member(s) of our Board, other than, at the Board’s request, certain items unrelated to the Board’s duties, such as spam, junk mail, solicitations, employment inquires, and similar items.

Director Compensation

This section describes the Company’s compensation programs that apply to our non-executive directors. The compensation of our Chairman and CEO, Douglas Pferdehirt, is included in the “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section below because he is an NEO under SEC rules.

Non-executive Director Compensation

Compensation for our non-executive directors was developed by the Compensation Committee with the assistance of its compensation consultant, Willis Towers Watson, and approved by the Board. The program, which comprises cash compensation and RSU awards, is designed to reflect the practices of both U.S. and European companies as determined by reference to the peer groups discussed in “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

The directors’ compensation program is intended to provide a competitive package that enables the Company to attract and retain highly skilled individuals with relevant experience and the necessary time and ability to serve on the board of a company of our size, complexity, and geographical breadth. The program balances the practices within our market norms in our core geographies, and the varied expectations of our diverse shareholder base. Given the global talent pool that our directors represent, the program is also designed to provide sufficient flexibility in the form of compensation delivered to meet the needs of individuals who are located in different countries and the travel that is often required to attend meetings, while ensuring that a substantial portion of directors’ compensation is linked to the long-term success of the Company.

	Key Non-executive Director Compensation Practices
	✓ TechnipFMC uses an independent consulting firm, Willis Towers Watson, to recommend changes in compensation for non-executive directors.
	✓ Any changes to our director compensation program are reviewed and approved by our Compensation Committee, comprising independent directors.
	✓ Any changes to our director compensation program recommended by our Compensation Committee must be ratified by a vote of our full Board.
	✓ Our Directors’ Remuneration Policy reflects sector and geographic (U.S. and European) peer groups to reflect the global nature of the Company, and both U.S. and European compensation practices given the global nature of the Company, our dual NYSE and Euronext Paris listings, and our U.K. incorporation.
	✓ Our Directors’ Remuneration Policy provides for an annual cap on total remuneration (i.e., cash and equity awards) of $500,000.
	✓ Each non-executive director is subject to a share ownership requirement of 5x the annual cash retainer.

RSU grants were made on March 8, 2019, valued at $20.98 per share, the closing price on the NYSE of the Company’s Ordinary Shares on that date. The aggregate value for all of the Company’s non-executive directors was $1,924,936 as of the grant date and was computed in accordance with the SEC proxy disclosure rules and Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718. The annual RSU grant vests after one year of service but is settled in Ordinary Shares only when the director leaves the Board. The RSUs are forfeited if a director ceases service on the Board prior to the vesting date of the RSUs, except in the event of death or disability. Unvested RSUs will be settled and are payable in Ordinary Shares upon the death or disability of a director or in the event of a change-in-control of the Company. Except for Messrs. Piou and Yearwood, who joined the Board in June 2019, the aggregate outstanding RSUs held by each of the Company’s non-executive directors on December 31, 2019 was 19,196 RSUs (10,855 of which are vested but not yet settled in Ordinary Shares). Dividend equivalents will accumulate on the RSUs to the extent the Company pays dividends on its Ordinary Shares and are payable only if and when the RSUs are settled in Ordinary Shares.

(3)	Mr. Caudoux waived his cash and equity remuneration because of the policies of his employer, Bpifrance.

(4)	Mr. Pattarozzi was not nominated for reelection at the 2019 Annual Meeting, so his service on the Board of Directors terminated immediately following the 2019 Annual Meeting.

(5)	Mr. Piou and Mr. Yearwood joined the Board of Directors of the Company on June 1, 2019. They will each receive a pro-rated grant of RSUs for their service in 2019 on the annual grant date in 2020.

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Other Benefits

Each non-executive director receives reimbursement for travel and other related expenses incurred in connection with attending Board and committee meetings.

In addition, to reflect the Company’s corporate responsibility and sustainability strategy of supporting communities, directors are eligible to participate in our matching charitable contribution program on the same terms as employees. Pursuant to this program, the Company matches 100% of the charitable contributions of its employees and directors up to an aggregate of $10,000 in any year, although the Company exercises discretion to approve matching contributions in excess of that amount from time to time. Directors who are not Company employees do not participate in any employee benefit plans other than the Company’s matching program for charitable contributions. The Company has not made any charitable contribution to an organization in which a director serves as an employee or an immediate family member of the director serves as an executive officer.

Share Ownership Requirements

	To further align the interests of non-executive directors with the interests of the Company’s shareholders, each non- executive director is subject to a share ownership requirement.
	Ownership Requirement		Directors: 5x the annual cash retainer
	Covered Share Interests		Ordinary Shares and RSUs that the Director owns and/or has a beneficial interest in
	Time for Achievement		Five years from initial appointment

All directors met our ownership guidelines in 2019, with the exception of John Yearwood, who joined the Board in June 2019. Given Mr. Caudoux waived his annual cash and equity remuneration because of the policies of his employer, Bpifrance, he is not subject to any share ownership requirements.

Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis

2019 Compensation Program Updates

Our Compensation Committee takes shareholder input seriously, carefully reflecting on the results of shareholder advisory votes and feedback received during shareholder engagement. At our 2019 Annual Meeting, 70% of votes cast approved our 2018 executive compensation program as disclosed in our 2019 Proxy Statement. While this represented majority support, the Compensation Committee wanted to better understand the reasons some shareholders voted against our 2018 executive compensation.

Through our shareholder engagement efforts, our Board and executive leadership team solicited feedback specifically on our 2018 executive compensation program and considered shareholders’ input within the context of our pay-for- performance philosophy, business, and strategies.

As a result, in 2019, our Compensation Committee made the following changes to our executive compensation program:

Eliminated the role of Executive Chairman following completion of post-Merger integration and reduced to a single, CEO-level compensation structure.

Retained the metric, EBITDA as a Percentage of Revenue, under our annual incentive plan to reinforce the link between annual incentive metrics and business strategy.

Continued the use of ROIC in our long-term equity incentive plan, in addition to relative TSR. ROIC is an absolute financial metric that measures management’s ability to efficiently allocate capital, and performance for ROIC is measured against an internal target. The relative TSR metric is based on share price performance relative to an external peer group. Due to the cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry, shareholders have supported inclusion of both internal and external metrics in long-term equity incentive plans.

Based a portion of our CEO’s annual cash incentive bonus on certain sustainability measures to further reinforce the Company’s commitment to our Foundational Beliefs.

Updated our compensation and performance peer groups to reflect changes in our business environment.

Business Overview

TechnipFMC plc is a global energy service company with a portfolio of solutions for the production and transformation of hydrocarbons and other renewable energy sources. These solutions range from discrete products and services to fully integrated solutions based on proprietary technologies, with a clear focus to deliver greater efficiency across project lifecycles from concept to delivery and beyond.

We have operational headquarters in Paris, France and Houston, Texas, United States. We operate across three business segments: Subsea, Onshore/Offshore, and Surface Technologies. Through these segments, we are levered to the three energy growth areas of unconventional reserves, liquefied natural gas, and deepwater developments.

Enhancement of our performance and competitiveness is a key component of our strategy, especially in a cyclical industry, and this is achieved through technology innovation and differentiation, seamless execution, and simplification that drives cost efficiency. We are targeting profitable and sustainable growth, seizing market growth opportunities, expanding our range of services, and managing our assets efficiently to ensure that we are well prepared to benefit from the opportunities we see in many of the segments we serve.

Each of our more than 37,000 employees is driven by a steadfast commitment to clients and a culture of purposeful innovation, challenging industry conventions, and finding new and better ways of working to unlock possibilities. This leads to fresh thinking, streamlined decisions, and smarter results, enabling us to achieve our vision of enhancing the performance of the world’s energy industry.

Executive Compensation Highlights

We are a global leader in oil and gas projects, technologies, systems, and services and provide our clients deep expertise across subsea, onshore/offshore, and surface projects. Our vision to enhance the performance of the world’s energy industry is supported by the relentless drive of every individual at TechnipFMC. We are united by one single purpose:

to bring together the scope, knowledge, and determination to transform our clients’ project economics. Our executive compensation is designed to help us achieve our vision by:

Motivating our executive officers to achieve and exceed our short-term and long-term goals and objectives

Aligning the interest of our executive officers with the interests of our shareholders by focusing our executive compensation program on drivers of sustainable shareholder value and by ensuring a majority of executive compensation is at-risk

Providing market competitive levels of compensation to help us retain and attract exceptionally talented individuals who can deliver on our vision

What We Do:

What We Don’t Do:

Pay for performance by aligning performance measures with our strategy and shareholder interests

Majority of NEO compensation is performance- based, “at-risk” long-term compensation

Maintain a clawback policy in the event of malfeasance or fraud

Require robust executive and director share ownership requirements

Engage an independent, external compensation consultant

Benchmark compensation against relevant global and industry peer groups

Cap PSU payout at target when relative TSR exceeds peers’ but absolute TSR is negative

No single-trigger vesting upon a change-in-control

No guaranteed bonuses

No uncapped incentives

No tax gross-ups on any severance payments

No excessive perquisites, benefits, or pension payments

No discounting, reloading, or repricing of stock options

No hedging and pledging of Company securities

As intended by our pay-for-performance program, and as outlined in the sections below, our 2019 executive compensation was directly impacted by our performance against key financial, operational, and individual metrics.

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Emphasize Pay-for-Performance

Fixed Variable	10% 90%	Fixed Variable	20% 80%
Cash Equity	23% 77%	Cash Equity	40% 60%
Short-Term Performance Long-Term Performance	15% 85%	Short-Term Performance Long-Term Performance	25% 75%

Stock options are considered variable as they require the stock price to increase before they yield any value. The delivered value of RSUs is variable based on share price at vesting.

Total target compensation is made up of salary, an annual cash incentive, and long-term equity incentives.

Our compensation program is strongly linked to performance, and a majority of our NEOs’ pay is variable, at-risk compensation.

Total target compensation is benchmarked relative to appropriate peer groups by our independent compensation consultant and is targeted at market median.

Annual cash incentive bonus is based on financial performance (75%) and individual performance in areas of strategic significance (25%).

Payouts for the financial portion are based on quantifiable performance. There is no payout if Company performance is below a minimum level of performance due to our emphasis on paying for performance. Payouts increase with increasing levels of performance and there is a cap on payout at maximum performance. Performance targets and goals are predetermined, communicated in advance, and included in our disclosures.

Payout for the individual performance indicators are based on rigorous, individual goal setting and year-end evaluation of performance.

PSUs comprise the majority of long-term equity incentives (60%) with vesting contingent on ROIC performance and relative TSR performance, each measured over three years.

57	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Payouts for the PSU plan are based on performance. There is no payout if Company performance is below a minimum level of performance, and there is a cap on payout at maximum performance. In addition, in the case of negative absolute TSR performance, payouts are capped at target, even if our TSR performance relative to our Relative TSR Peer Group (as defined below) is above target. Performance targets and goals are pre-determined, communicated in advance, and disclosed publicly.

The remainder of the long-term equity incentives are delivered in the form of stock options and RSUs. The delivered value of stock options and RSUs to NEOs is also based on share price performance.

Starting in 2020, we will eliminate stock options from our executive compensation program, based on feedback from shareholders that stock options are not performance-based, at-risk compensation.

All long-term equity incentive awards vest at the end of three years, providing a significant retention incentive to NEOs.

Alignment of pay and performance

The chart below presents the relative alignment of CEO pay to TSR performance over a two-year period compared to our 2019 Industry Peer Group. For more details on our 2019 Industry Peer Group, please see the section “—Compensation Governance—Compensation Decisions—Compensation Peer Groups.”

TechnipFMC’s position in the central corridor illustrates that our pay is in alignment with our performance.

Our two-year TSR performance for 2017-2018 is at the 57th percentile versus our peers, while our two-year CEO pay rank is at the 47th percentile of our peers.

TechnipFMC 2019 Performance

TechnipFMC operates a sophisticated, global business in a highly competitive industry that has been negatively impacted by an extended period of low commodity prices. Our solutions add value to some of the largest capital investments in the world. We identified an opportunity to change the way projects are conceived and executed in the industry with the introduction of our subsea integrated engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (“iEPCI”) business model aimed at lowering project costs and accelerating the delivery of initial hydrocarbon production.

In 2019, the value of these integrated subsea awards to TechnipFMC more than doubled versus the prior year, representing more than 40% of all Subsea inbound orders. The increase was driven by further adoption of the integrated business model, particularly with those clients where we have unique alliances. With the industry’s most comprehensive and only truly integrated market offering, we have continued to expand the deepwater opportunity set for our customers.

TechnipFMC’s expertise does not end with the development of hydrocarbons. Because of its best-in-class project design and execution capabilities, enabled by a portfolio of proprietary technologies, TechnipFMC continues to secure and deliver projects that further enable our clients to monetize resources — from liquefaction of gas, both onshore and on floating vessels, to refining and production facilities, through new energy solutions and applications for the world’s energy transition.

59	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

On August 26, 2019, the Company announced that it will separate into two diversified, pure-play market leaders — TechnipFMC, focused on subsea and surface hydrocarbon production, and Technip Energies, focused on downstream EPC project execution. The separation will enable both companies to benefit from distinct and compelling market opportunities across the energy value chain; dedicated focus of management, resources, and capital; and unique value propositions with differentiated investment appeal.

	TechnipFMC (RemainCo)		Technip Energies (SpinCo)
	TechnipFMC will be a fully integrated technology and services provider, driving energy development across deepwater, conventional, and unconventional resources. The Company will continue to demonstrate leadership in integrated subsea project delivery and will focus on replicating this success through the development of integrated production models for the surface production market. TechnipFMC is also poised to benefit from service opportunities resulting from the world’s largest installed base of subsea production equipment, umbilicals, risers, and flowlines.		Technip Energies will be a leading engineering and construction provider, with a robust project delivery model, strong technical capabilities, and proven track record as demonstrated by the successful execution of some of the world’s most iconic EPC projects. The new company will continue to leverage its industry-leading process technology portfolio, particularly in the areas of ethylene and hydrogen, while pursuing further opportunities to enhance and differentiate this portfolio.

Creating Two Industry Leaders
	Distinct and compelling market opportunities	Unique business profiles with differentiated investment appeal
	Strong balance sheets and tailored capital structures	Focus, agility, and strategic flexibility
Continuing to reshape the energy industry and create value for all stakeholders

We expect that the executive compensation programs for these two companies will continue to emphasize performance and will be tailored to each company’s business and strategy.

2017-2019 TSR Performance

30% of our long-term equity incentive plan is based on relative TSR performance versus the relative TSR peer group for the year of grant. As such, the figures below indicate the Company’s TSR performance against our 2017 Performance Peer Group as defined in our 2018 Proxy Statement (“2017 Performance Peer Group”) and against the Philadelphia Oil Service Sector (OSX) index. Note that the OSX index is not used for plan payout, but provided as a reference point to demonstrate TSR performance for the oil service industry as a whole during this period.

Although our absolute TSR for this period was negative, our relative TSR was above the median for our 2017 Performance Peer Group, demonstrating superior relative performance during a period of downturn for the industry.

Note: Our executive compensation plan rules capped the payout of the relative TSR component of the 2017-2019 PSU award at target, despite above target performance. For more details on this, please see the section “—Elements of 2019 Executive Compensation—Long-Term Equity Incentives—Vesting of 2017 PSU Awards.”

For detailed information regarding our 2019 results, please see our Form 10-K, which reports our results using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and our U.K. Annual Reports and Accounts, which reports our results using international financial reporting standards (as adopted by the European Union).

		30% PSUs 3-year relative TSR	>		2017-2019 performance of 5th rank¹	>	100% of target¹
	The remaining 40% of the long-term equity incentive was delivered in the form of stock options (20%) and RSUs (20%), the delivered value of which will also depend on share price appreciation, and thus is aligned with shareholder interests.

(1) Payout for the 2017-2019 grant has been provided instead of payout for the 2019-2021 grant, since payout for the latter will only be determined at the end of 2021.

Our pay-for-performance program aims to motivate our executive officers to achieve and exceed both our short-term and long-term goals and objectives by including an appropriate mix of long-term equity compensation and annual cash incentive bonus compensation. As intended by our program, our NEO compensation was directly impacted by our performance.

Long-Term Equity

The majority of our executives’ variable compensation is in the form of long-term equity compensation, comprising 85% and 75% of 2019 total target variable compensation for our CEO and other NEOs, respectively. Our NEOs achieved a payout of 50% of target on their 2017 performance-based, long-term equity incentive awards, based on the following:

For the ROIC measure, we did not meet the threshold performance for the 2017-2019 performance period, and as a result, the ROIC component of the 2017 PSU awards paid out at 0%.

For the three-year relative TSR measure, we achieved above-target performance for relative TSR for the 2017-2019 performance period based on our performance relative to our 2017 Performance Peer Group. However, our absolute TSR performance was negative given the overall oil and gas market conditions during the same period. Therefore, our payout under our incentive plan was capped at target (100%) given the absolute TSR performance.

65	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Annual Cash Incentive Bonus

For 2019, our annual cash incentive comprised 15% and 25% of total target variable compensation for our CEO and other NEOs, respectively. Performance targets related to our annual cash incentive are set at “stretch” targets that are difficult and challenging but achievable with superior execution based on our long-range plans. Given the cyclical nature of our sectors, as well as the variability in some of our metrics caused by the lifecycle progression of a few very large projects, our targets will not always increase, in absolute terms, over prior year targets but are set to ensure that achievement will require the same or increased execution to achieve the targets.

In setting performance goals, the Compensation Committee considers the Company’s annual financial plans, strategic initiatives, and projections, which are impacted by the following factors:

The overall business climate and the cyclical nature of our business

Underlying market conditions for our products and services

Volatility in commodity prices

Our competitors’ performance

Anticipated changes in customer activity

Our prior-year performance

These inputs inform discussions regarding both the targets and the ranges around the target to ensure the goals are sufficiently difficult without incentivizing inappropriate risk taking.

In setting our 2019 targets, the Compensation Committee considered the market outlook for each of our business segments and for the Company as a whole. In particular, we considered the projected decline for our Subsea segment due to the volatile, and generally low, crude oil price environment over the last several years that led many of our customers to reduce their capital spending plans or defer new deepwater projects. This led to the winding down of certain projects, and an expected decline in operating margins due to the competitive environment in 2019. During this time, we focused on growing our order backlog.

As a result, in 2019, our performance exceeded the targets for the EBITDA, EBITDA as a Percentage of Revenue, and Working Capital Days measures due to accelerated market adoption of our new subsea technologies, our strong execution and disciplined capital spending, and achieving an unprecedented level of backlog. As a result, our annual cash incentive bonus plan paid out in a range of 164%-174%, including the impact of annual individual performance indicator results.

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Compensation Governance

Role of the Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee of five independent non-executive directors oversees our executive compensation program and determines the compensation for our executive officers on behalf of the Board. The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things, reviewing, evaluating, and approving:

The agreements, plans, policies, and programs of the Company to compensate its independent directors, Chairman and CEO, and other officers, as applicable; and

All awards of equity securities or equity derivatives to executive officers of the Company, as well as the total number of equity securities or equity derivatives to be allocated to all other employees at the discretion of the CEO, consistent with equity plans approved by the Company’s shareholders.

The Compensation Committee also reviews the Company’s incentive compensation arrangements to ensure that they do not incentivize excessive risk-taking and evaluates compensation policies and practices that could mitigate any such risk.

Additional information on the roles and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee is provided in the section “Corporate Governance—Committees of the Board of Directors—Compensation Committee” and the charter of the Compensation Committee may be viewed on our website at www.TechnipFMC.com under the heading “Who we are > Governance.”

Role of the Compensation Committee’s Independent Consultant

Under its charter, the Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain and terminate any compensation consultant, outside counsel, or any other advisors engaged to assist in the evaluation of compensation of directors or executive officers, including the sole authority to approve the consultant’s fees and its terms. The Compensation Committee considers appropriate standards in selecting its compensation consultants consistent with NYSE rules, SEC rules, and requirements under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”).

In 2019, the Compensation Committee retained Willis Towers Watson as its principal compensation consultant to provide information and advice to the Compensation Committee on executive and director compensation and related governance matters. This included evaluating our director and executive compensation programs against general market and peer data and providing updates on current executive compensation trends and applicable legislative and governance activity. In addition, Willis Towers Watson provided retirement benefit consultant services, health and group benefits consulting services, and corporate risk and broking services to management. In 2019, Willis Towers Watson was paid approximately $358,000 in fees related to executive compensation services and $1,960,000 related to non-executive compensation services.

In February 2020, the Compensation Committee considered the independence of Willis Towers Watson pursuant to SEC rules and NYSE listing standards. At the request of the Compensation Committee, Willis Towers Watson prepared a letter providing data on the following factors relevant to assessing independence: (a) other services provided to the Company by Willis Towers Watson; (b) fees paid by the Company as a percentage of Willis Towers Watson’s total revenue; (c) policies and procedures maintained by Willis Towers Watson that are designed to prevent a conflict of interest; (d) any business or personal relationships between the individual consultants involved in the engagement and a member of the Compensation Committee; (e) any Ordinary Shares owned by the individual consultants involved in the engagement or their immediate family members; and (f) any business or personal relationships between our executive officers and Willis Towers Watson or the individual consultants involved in the engagement. The Compensation Committee also considered that the Willis Towers Watson consultants advising the Compensation Committee derived no economic benefit from the fees paid for the non- executive compensation services. The Compensation Committee discussed these considerations and concluded that the work of Willis Towers Watson and the consultants involved in the engagement did not raise any conflict of interest.

The Annual Process

Each year the Compensation Committee approves an annual calendar which sets out the key activities in accordance with its charter. The key activities of the committee in 2019 were as follows:

Q1	Q2–Q3	Q4
Approve compensation decisions and equity awards for directors and officers	Review executive officer share ownership guidelines and compliance	Review internal governance policies (e.g., clawback, insider trading policy, anti-hedging, pledging) and compliance
Approve Company performance achievements for prior year in relation to annual and long-term incentive plans	Discuss shareholder engagement outcomes and review proxy voting results	Approve equity programs, annual equity budget for non-executives, and impact on shareholder dilution
Review and discuss executive compensation strategy structure and programs		Review of peer compensation practices
Approve annual compensation disclosures in Company Proxy Statement and U.K. Annual Report

Compensation Decisions

Compensation Peer Groups

In making decisions about target compensation levels, the Compensation Committee references data from two distinct peer groups. We believe that it is important to look at both global companies of similar size, complexity, and capital- intensive nature, as well as companies within the same industry with significant U.S. operations in order to get a comprehensive view of who we compete with for talent.

These two peer groups are combined to provide a holistic view for compensation benchmarking. In addition, the Compensation Committee also looks at each peer group separately in order to gain insight into variations between the two groups.

The Global Peer Group comprises a broadly equal weighting of U.S. and European headquartered companies, of similar size to the Company (in terms of revenue) who compete for executive talent in capital intensive industries similar to the Company including the oil and gas industry, construction and engineering, and industrial manufacturing.

The Industry Peer Group is focused more closely on our sub-industry and is drawn from companies in the oilfield services and oil exploration and production sectors, as well as heavy engineering organizations with greater (but not exclusive) focus on North America.

The Compensation Committee does not place a specific weight on the data from either peer group, but considers the data in light of all the circumstances relevant to each executive under review, as well as the Company’s compensation philosophy.

For both sets of peers, we use a range of selection criteria that include, among other factors, financial indicators such as revenue and market capitalization, number of employees, company size, industry, end markets, complexity, geographic footprint, and headquarters location.

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

	Peer Group		Purpose

Companies in blue bold comprise the Industry Peer Group.

The Compensation Committee reviews the composition of the Company’s peer groups on a periodic basis. For 2019 compensation decisions, the companies noted below were included; however, we anticipate these companies will be removed from our peer groups for 2020 compensation decisions.

Chicago Bridge & Iron merged with McDermott International, Inc. in May 2018.

Anadarko Petroleum Corporation was acquired by Occidental Petroleum Corporation in August 2019.

Weatherford International plc filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 in July 2019.

McDermott International, Inc. filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 in January 2020.

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

When 2019 compensation decisions were made, the median revenue and median market capitalization for each of the peer groups used and the Company’s relative ranking are provided below:

Peer Group	Median Revenue	TechnipFMC Revenue Ranking	Median Market Capitalization	TechnipFMC Market Capitalization Ranking
Global Peer Group	$15.7 billion	46th percentile	$17.7 billion	48th percentile
Industry Peer Group	$9.5 billion	67th percentile	$13.6 billion	57th percentile
Combined Peer Group	$15.1 billion	57th percentile	$15.1 billion	46th percentile

Accordingly, the Compensation Committee agreed that this group of companies was reasonable in terms of size for market median comparisons. Where possible, the Compensation Committee’s consultant size-adjusts data to account for differences in size between the Company and the Compensation Peer Group.

Setting Target Executive Compensation

In determining the target compensation package for each NEO, the Compensation Committee compares each element and combined total of an NEO’s compensation to data for relevant roles within the Compensation Peer Group. To provide additional perspectives, the Compensation Committee also considers internal relativities between the CEO and the NEOs.

In setting target compensation, the Compensation Committee also considers market median data, as well as other factors including the experience, tenure, role criticality, and performance of the incumbent NEOs. In addition, any changes to Mr. Pferdehirt’s target compensation are in accordance with the shareholder-approved Director Remuneration Policy.

No executive participates in any discussion that relates to his or her own compensation.

The Compensation Committee, in partnership with its independent advisor, determines and approves any changes to compensation for the Chairman and CEO, who is not present during these discussions.

The CEO recommends changes to compensation for the other NEOs without them present, which are approved by the Compensation Committee with input from its independent advisor.

Use of Compensation Tally Sheets

The Compensation Committee uses tally sheets to ensure they receive the information necessary to evaluate the total compensation of an NEO. Tally sheets list each component of an executive’s compensation throughout a range of alternative scenarios (e.g., termination, change-in-control transaction, etc.). The compensatory amounts include cash compensation, accumulated deferred compensation balances, outstanding equity awards, benefits, perquisites, and any other item, as well as projected values of equity awards under various performance and termination scenarios, realized stock option and stock gains, and total wealth accumulation.

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Establishing Performance Metrics and Goals

In setting performance goals, the Compensation Committee considers the Company’s annual financial plans, strategic initiatives, and projections, which are impacted by the following factors:

The overall business climate and the cyclical nature of our business

Underlying market conditions for our products and services

Volatility in commodity prices

Our competitors’ performance

Anticipated changes in customer activity

Our prior-year performance

These inputs inform discussions regarding both the targets, and the ranges around the target to ensure the goals are sufficiently difficult without incentivizing inappropriate risk taking.

Individual strategic goals are established at the start of the year. The Compensation Committee establishes and approves the objectives for the CEO, who is not present when these are being discussed. The CEO recommends and the Compensation Committee approves the objectives for the other NEOs.

Base Salary

We provide our NEOs with a market competitive base salary to compensate them for services performed during the year. We set base salary by referencing market median total target compensation. When setting an individual NEO’s base salary, we consider factors such as individual performance, experience, and contributions to the business, while staying within an appropriate range of the market median for the role.

The Compensation Committee reviews base salary for NEOs on an annual basis. For the CEO, the Compensation Committee determines and approves any changes, with input from the committee’s independent compensation consultant. For the other NEOs, the CEO recommends changes to the Compensation Committee with the support of the committee’s compensation consultant, and the Compensation Committee approves the changes. The NEOs do not participate in discussions or decisions relating to their own or the other NEOs’ compensation.

In 2019, the Compensation Committee approved base salary increases for Ms. Mannen, Ms. Ralston, and Mr. Uccelletti as provided below, based on a review of market median total target compensation data for the Global Peer Group as well as the Industry Peer Group. There was no increase in 2019 for Mr. Pferdehirt and Mr. Rounce — the market median total target compensation for each of them was assessed to be within the desired range. In addition, Mr. Rounce was recently hired in September 2018.

Named Executive Officer	Base Salary (December 31, 2018)	Base Salary (December 31, 2019)	Increase
Douglas J. Pferdehirt	$1,236,000	$1,236,000	0%
Maryann T. Mannen	$772,500	$803,000	4%
Dianne B. Ralston	$618,000	$643,000	4%

Nello Uccelletti	$543,513	$565,693	4%

Annual Cash Incentive Bonus

2019 Annual Cash Incentive Bonus Targets

We provide our NEOs with an annual cash incentive bonus, in order to drive and reward the achievement of short-term Company strategic goals and individual contributions. Each NEO has an annual cash incentive bonus target, set as a percentage of base salary. The NEO can earn from 0%-200% of their annual cash incentive bonus target, depending on performance.

The Compensation Committee reviews and approves target annual cash incentive bonus percentages for the NEOs on an annual basis, based on a review of market median total compensation data for our peers. The targets are set at appropriate levels to incentivize executive officers to achieve the short-term financial and operational goals for the Company, as well as to provide executive officers with market-competitive levels of total compensation.

The following were the 2019 annual cash incentive bonus targets for the NEOs:

Named Executive Officer	2018	2019	Increase
Douglas J. Pferdehirt	135%	135%	0%
Maryann T. Mannen	100%	100%	0%

2019 Annual Cash Incentive Bonus Performance Indicators

75% of the annual cash incentive bonus is based on business performance indicators (“BPI”), and 25% is based on individual annual performance indicators (“API”).

75% BPI

Assessment of overall Company performance

based on EBITDA. EBITDA as a Percentage of

Revenue, and Working Capital Days

25% API

Assessment of individual performance based

on qualitative factors reflected in each NEO’s

annual performance objectives

The payout under both the BPI and API components may range from 0% to 200% of target depending on performance.

BPI Component – 75% of Annual Cash Incentive Bonus

The Compensation Committee annually establishes BPI targets and reviews the performance measures at its February meeting. In 2019, the Compensation Committee selected three equally weighted measures, which reflected the Company’s strategic priorities: EBITDA, EBITDA as a Percentage of Revenue, and Working Capital Days.

BPI Measure (Weight)	Weighting	2019 Goal	Definition	Why It Matters
EBITDA ($M)	25%	$1,531	Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization	Indicative of our operating profitability and a driver of shareholder value creation; facilitates comparisons with peer companies by excluding the effect of different capital structures and financing decisions

EBITDA as a Percentage of Revenue	25%	11.4%	Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, calculated as a percentage of revenue	Reflects the performance and sustainability of the business, leveraging cost efficiencies and driving profitability improvement

Working Capital Days	25%	55 days	Average number of days to convert working capital into revenue	Measures our efficiency of using operating capital to operate the business; our contract arrangements typically result in negative working capital due to advance payments and milestone payments

The payout scale for 2019 is as follows:

Performance Level	Payout Percentage
Threshold	0%
Target	100%
Maximum	200%

Note: Payout for performance between the threshold, target, and maximum payouts are interpolated on a straight-line basis.

75	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

The 2019 performance goals and the 2019 results achieved (for NEOs on enterprise-wide incentive targets) are outlined below:

BPI Measure	2019 Goals			2019 Outcome
BPI Measure	Threshold Performance	Target Performance	Maximum Performance	Actual Percentage	Payout Performance	Weighting	Weighted Payout Percentage
EBITDA ($M)	$1,246	$1,531	$1,751	$1,667	162%	1/3	54%
EBITDA as a Percentage of Revenue	9%	11.4%	13.3%	12.4%	155%	1/3	512/3%
Working Capital Days	48 days	55 days	61 days	74 days	200%	1/3	66^2/3%
Payout Percentage	0%	100%	200%
Final Weighted Payout Percentage (BPI)							172%

Note: Payout for performance between the threshold, target, and maximum payouts are interpolated on a straight-line basis. The final weighted payout percentage for BPI is rounded to the nearest whole percent for calculating the annual cash incentive payout.

In accordance with established guidelines, the goals are adjusted for the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, significant acquisitions and divestitures, and foreign exchange movements. These changes are intended to ensure that performance is measured on a like-for-like basis relative to the goals that were set. Financial targets and actual performance based on EBITDA exclude non-recurring charges and credits, such as impairments, restructuring costs, integration costs, as well as other items identified in TechnipFMC’s quarterly and annual financial statements.

API Component – 25% of Annual Cash Incentive Bonus

Each February the individual performance goals are established for each NEO.

These objectives are set at “stretch” levels (i.e., objectives that are difficult and challenging, but should be achievable with superior execution), and are set using a rigorous evaluation process. If an NEO failed to achieve any of his or her objectives, the API multiple would likely be 0%, absent any mitigating factors. If the NEO met some, but not all of the objectives, the API multiple would fall between the range of 0% to 200%, depending upon the number of objectives accomplished, their relative importance and difficulty as determined by the Compensation Committee, and any factors that may have prevented achievement of certain objectives. An NEO achieving all objectives could potentially receive an API of 200%, although it is intended that this ranking reflects outstanding performance given the inherent degree of difficulty factored into both the objective setting and evaluation processes.

For 2019, the NEOs received API ratings ranging from 140% to 180% for the year, with an average rating of 150%.

In determining the 2019 API rating for our CEO, the Compensation Committee took into account a comprehensive view of his performance and contributions, including performance on key objectives and results. In addition to individual goals related to Company strategy, profitable growth, and safety, his objectives also included the three pillars of our corporate responsibility and sustainability efforts to ensure that the Company makes meaningful and tangible changes in this

area. The Compensation Committee considers the CEO’s overall performance relative to the accomplishment of his key objectives, the importance of each accomplishment, as well as the market conditions that impacted performance.

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Determination of 2019 Payouts under the Annual Cash Incentive Compensation Plan

Each executive’s target annual cash bonus is a percentage of his or her base salary for the year. For example, assuming an NEO has a base salary of $600,000, a 100% target bonus, a BPI rating of 172%, and an API rating of 100%, the executive’s annual cash bonus would be calculated as follows:

Component	Base Salary	Weighting	Target Bonus %	Rating	Payout
BPI:	$600,000	x 75%	x 100%	x 172%	= $774,000
API:	$600,000	x 25%	x 100%	x 100%	= $150,000
Total Cash Incentive	Compensation				$924,000

Long-Term Equity Incentives

Long-term equity incentive awards, granted in the form of TechnipFMC equity, represent the largest component of each NEO’s annual target compensation opportunity, grounded in our compensation philosophy of paying for performance and aligning executives’ interests with those of our shareholders. Awards are made in the form of three complementary vehicles, providing a balanced focus on performance, sustainable long-term value creation, and retention.

(1) In 2020, we will discontinue the use of stock options, and annual equity awards will comprise only PSUs (70%) and RSUs (30%).

The Compensation Committee reviews and approves annual awards for the NEOs on an annual basis. The awards are based on market competitiveness on total target compensation and aim at providing appropriate levels of retention and incentives for achieving the Company’s long-term goals.

79	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

For 2019, the Compensation Committee set the target value of equity awards for each NEO with reference to market median total compensation data.

Douglas J. Pferdehirt	$9,700,000
Maryann T. Mannen	$3,100,000
Dianne B. Ralston	$2,100,000
Justin Rounce	$1,800,000
Nello Uccelletti	$1,300,000

2019 Performance Stock Unit Awards (60% of Equity Award)

The Compensation Committee sets the performance targets associated with PSU awards prior to the beginning of each three-year performance period. For awards in 2019, PSU awards comprised 60% of the total long-term equity award and included the following two equally weighted measures:

PSU Measure	Weighting	Definition	Why It Matters
ROIC	30% of total long-term equity	Annual net income divided by equity plus long-term debt	Assesses our profitability and how effectively the Company is using capital over the three-year period to generate income. Given the capital-intensive nature of our business, it is critical that we effectively use our investments and assets.
Relative TSR	30% of total long-term equity	Cumulative three-year increase in volume-weighted average price and reinvested dividends relative to peers	Assesses our overall performance in the eyes of our shareholders and the broader stock market, relative to companies with whom we compete for customers and investors that are subject to similar macro- economic factors.

The relative TSR performance for our 2019 PSU awards will be measured against a group of 13 companies (“Relative TSR Peer Group”) that the Compensation Committee believes best reflect the companies that we compete with for both investments and customers. The financial and operational performance of these companies is therefore most directly relevant to TechnipFMC, and we are all subject to similar macro-economic factors.

We use relative TSR to motivate our NEOs to achieve superior share price compared to our key competitors, thus aligning their interests with shareholder interests. We further reinforce this by requiring a minimum threshold of relative performance for payout, and by capping payout in the case of negative shareholder return.

80	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

The Compensation Committee reviewed our 2018 Performance Peer Group as defined in our 2019 Proxy Statement, and no changes were made for 2019 since they were deemed appropriate based on the factors stated above. For awards made in 2019, the Performance Peer Group (now referred to as our Relative TSR Peer Group) comprised the following:

2019 Relative TSR Peer Group

Baker Hughes Company	McDermott International Inc.	Saipem S.p.A.
Chicago Bridge & Iron Company N.V.	National Oilwell Varco, Inc.	Subsea 7 S.A.
Fluor Corporation	Oceaneering International, Inc.	Weatherford International plc
Halliburton Company	Oil States International, Inc.
John Wood Group plc	Schlumberger Limited

The vesting date for these PSU awards is March 8, 2022, with a performance period of January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021.

The Compensation Committee approved the following targets in relation to the 2019 PSU awards:

Performance Achievement	ROIC Performance	Relative TSR Ranking	Payout (% of earned PSUs)
Below Threshold	Below Plan	Below 25th percentile	0%
Threshold	6%	25th percentile	50%
Target	7%	42nd percentile	100%
Maximum or above	8%	75th percentile or greater	200%

Note: If the Company’s TSR is negative for the performance period, the payout in respect of the TSR element will be capped at target, regardless of our relative performance.

For performance achievement between the levels identified above, payout percentage will be interpolated on a straight- line basis.

2019 Stock Options (20% of Equity Award)

In addition to PSUs, NEOs received an annual grant of stock options in 2019. This award aimed at aligning pay with the performance of our stock, aligning NEOs’ interests with our shareholders’ interests, as well as retaining NEOs over the long-term.

Based on feedback received from shareholders, we plan to eliminate stock options in 2020, thereby increasing the share of PSUs to further align pay with performance.

NEOs’ 2019 stock option awards are subject to a three-year cliff vesting, with no phased vesting, meaning the NEO must remain employed through the vesting date of March 8, 2022 for any of the options to become exercisable, with exceptions for retirement, death, and disability in line with market norms. Options are exercisable for a period of 10 years from the date of grant and have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares as reported by the NYSE on the grant date.

The number of stock options granted to each of the NEOs is determined by dividing the approved target award value by the expected value of each option (calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model) on the grant date.

81	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

2019 Time-Based RSU Awards (20% of Equity Award)

The final component of the long-term incentive mix is RSU awards. These awards further align NEOs’ interests with the interests of our shareholders by incentivizing them to increase share price, while reinforcing the retention impact of our compensation program.

RSUs are subject to three-year cliff vesting terms, with no phased vesting, meaning the NEO must remain employed through the vesting date of March 8, 2022, with exceptions only for retirement, death, and disability. Once vested, the executive receives ownership and the voting rights of the underlying Ordinary Shares. The number of RSUs granted to each of the NEOs was determined by dividing the target value set for each executive officer by the closing price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares on the NYSE on the grant date.

On vesting, 50% of the after-tax number of RSUs must be held for a period of at least one year to incentivize NEOs to retain the shares and increase share price, further aligning NEOs’ interests with those of our shareholders.

Vesting of 2017 PSU Awards

Following the Merger in 2017, the Compensation Committee approved PSU awards subject to a three-year performance period. As with the awards made in 2018 and 2019, vesting was contingent on performance delivered in two areas: ROIC and relative TSR. The Compensation Committee believes that the continued use of these metrics remains relevant for the long-term since they focus executives on the achievement of specific financial long-term goals directly aligned with our operating and strategic plans.

As a result of our 2017-2019 performance, our NEOs achieved a payout of 50% of target on their 2017 PSUs.

Performance Goals:

Goal/Weightings	Performance Measure	Threshold Performance	Target Performance	Maximum Performance
ROIC (30% of total long-term equity)	Achievement of stated target	0%	100%	200%
Relative TSR (30% of total long-term equity)	Ranking against the 2017 Performance Peer Group	0%	100%	200%

For the ROIC measure, the Performance Targets and earned PSUs are as noted below. For performance achievement between the levels identified below, the payout percentage is interpolated on a straight-line basis.

Achieved Performance	Performance Target	Earned PSUs
Below Threshold	Below 10%	0%
Threshold Performance	10%	50%
Target Performance	11%	100%
Maximum Performance or above	12%	200%

82	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

For the relative TSR measure, the earned PSUs were based on a percentile ranking of the Company’s TSR against the constituents of the 2017 Performance Peer Group.

Ranking	Earned PSUs¹
13th or Lower	0%
11th or 12th	50%
9th or 10th	75%
8th	100%
7th	120%
6th	140%
5th	160%
4th	180%
3rd or higher	200%

(1) If the Company’s TSR is negative for the performance period, the payout in respect of the TSR element will be capped at target, regardless of our relative performance.

The overall achievement for the performance element of our 2017 PSU awards was 50% based on the following:

Three-year ROIC performance for 2017-2019 was 6.9%. This ROIC performance was below the threshold for payout on the payout scale provided above, and therefore, the ROIC component of the 2017 PSU awards paid out at 0%.

Three-year relative TSR performance for the Company for 2017-2019 was –37.8%, which placed the Company at a ranking of 5th relative to the 2017 Performance Peer Group. This resulted in a payout for the relative TSR metric of 100%, based on the payout scale above.

We achieved above-target performance for the relative TSR measure for our 2017-2019 performance period based on our performance relative to the Performance Peer Group. However, our absolute relative TSR performance was negative given the overall oil and gas market conditions during the same period. Therefore, our payout under our incentive plan was capped at target (100%) given the absolute TSR performance.

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan Grants

The Compensation Committee granted long-term equity incentives to our NEOs on March 9, 2020, consisting of the following:

Based on feedback from shareholders in 2019, we eliminated the use of stock options in the 2020 long-term equity incentive awards.

30% of awards granted are time-based RSUs.

70% of awards granted are PSUs. The performance period was set from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022. Due to the announced spin-off of Technip Energies, the performance metrics for the PSUs will be pro-rated based on two separate periods: January 1, 2020 to the closing date of the spin-off (“Pre-spin Period”) and from the closing date of the spin-off to December 31, 2022 (“Post-spin Period”).

For the Pre-spin Period, the PSU performance metric will be based on relative TSR performance versus our Relative TSR Peer Group, using the payout scale below:

Relative TSR Ranking	Payout (% of earned PSUs)
Below 25th percentile	0%
25th percentile	50%
75th percentile or greater	200%

Note: If the Company’s TSR is negative for the performance period, the payout in respect of the TSR element will be capped at target, regardless of our relative performance.

For the Post-spin Period, each of TechnipFMC and Technip Energies will set its performance metrics and targets related to the Post-spin Period as soon as practicable after the closing of the spin-off.

Each company will include TechnipFMC’s Pre-spin Period performance in a weighted calculation of its performance for the 2020-2022 performance period.

Indirect Compensation

The final element of our compensation comprises market-aligned benefits and perquisites. These are intended to both facilitate the performance of our NEOs in their roles while ensuring we are market competitive in what we provide.

Retirement Benefits

Eligibility for retirement savings plan participation depends on an NEO’s tenure and the country in which he or she is based. The majority of our NEOs participate in the U.S. Qualified and Non-Qualified Savings Plans on the same terms as other eligible employees.

Perquisites

The Company also provides limited perquisites to NEOs, facilitating the performance of their roles and to ensure a competitive total compensation package. The perquisites we provide to our executives may include financial planning and personal tax assistance, personal use of Company automobiles, dining club memberships and country club memberships, executive physicals, 100% match of charitable contributions up to an aggregate of $10,000 per year, and other minor expenses associated with their business responsibilities. The value of perquisites deemed to be personal is imputed as income to an executive officer, and we do not gross up for the taxes due on such imputed income. Additional allowances or benefits may be granted to NEOs, if considered appropriate and reasonable.

Reflecting the safety concerns associated with their roles, the Company provides a security program for our executive officers. The Compensation Committee believes this is in the best interests of shareholders as the personal safety and security of our executive officers is critical to the stability of the Company. The security program was developed based on a risk assessment determined to be appropriate by our security team and an outside consultant. We do not consider the security measures provided to our executive officers to be a personal benefit, but rather reasonable and necessary expenses for the benefit of the Company. However, in accordance with SEC disclosure rules, the aggregate incremental cost of these services is reported in the Summary Compensation Table.

Other Compensation, Benefits, and Considerations

Executive Severance Benefits

It is our policy to offer severance benefits to our executive officers because we believe that severance benefits provide important financial protection to executive officers in the event of involuntary job loss, are consistent with the practices of peer companies, and are appropriate for the retention of executive talent.

Our executive officers, including our NEOs, are entitled to severance benefits outside of a change-in-control context pursuant to our executive severance plan or individual employment agreements, the material terms of which are described in the chart below. Our general executive severance arrangements are consistent with the market practice of large public companies surveyed by Willis Towers Watson. Change-in-control severance benefits, as described below, and general severance benefits are exclusive of one another, and in no circumstance would any NEO receive benefits under both a change-in-control severance agreement and our general executive severance plan.

Each of our NEOs is party to an Executive Severance Agreement, pursuant to which he or she is entitled to enhanced severance in the event of a qualifying termination in connection with a change-in-control. We entered into the Executive Severance Agreements to ensure executives are incentivized to continue to work in the Company’s best interests during the period of time when a change-in-control transaction is taking place and in order to ensure we have the ability to maintain continuity of management. The Compensation Committee believes it is appropriate to provide executives with the assurance they will not be adversely affected by a change-in-control transaction without fair compensation, except in the case of termination for cause. The material terms of the Executive Severance Agreements are described in the chart below.

Separation Scenario	Provisions under TechnipFMC Executive Severance Plan, Executive Severance Agreement, or Relevant Equity Award Agreements
Termination without cause	Cash severance equal to 18 months of base salary and target annual cash incentive bonus Pro-rated target annual cash incentive bonus for the year of termination 18 months of medical and dental benefits continuation Outplacement assistance as appropriate Financial planning and tax preparation assistance for the final calendar year of employment Severance benefits subject to compliance with non-disclosure, non-compete, and non-solicitation covenants Equity treated pursuant to the terms of the applicable plan No tax gross-ups on any payments
Retirement	Outstanding equity settled on the originally scheduled date Outstanding PSUs will remain subject to the original performance conditions, measured at the originally scheduled date
Death or disability	Accelerated vesting of all granted and outstanding equity awards, with outstanding PSUs vesting at target

Compensation Risk

As part of a robust approach to risk mitigation, the Company operates a number of policies that apply to our NEOs, and in many instances to broader employee populations. These policies are intended to align our NEOs with the long-term interests of our shareholders and encourage them to make decisions that expose the Company to an appropriate level of risk within our agreed framework.

Clawback Policy

The Company has adopted a compensation recovery clawback policy that enables us to recoup and/or cancel previously awarded compensation in defined situations.

Covered Employees	Executive officers subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) By definition, this includes all NEOs
Covered Compensation	Cash incentive compensation Equity awards
Triggering Events	Illegal acts including fraud, material theft of Company assets, bribery and corruption Gross negligence Willful misconduct, including conduct that requires the Company to materially restate its quarterly or annual financial or operating results
Compensation Committee Authority	Determine whether a triggering event has occurred Cancel previously granted compensation in part or in whole, whether vested or deferred Clawback previously earned compensation by requiring the executive officer to repay the Company any gain realized or payment received Reduce or offset future incentive compensation

89	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Share Ownership and Retention Requirements

The Compensation Committee oversees the operation of share ownership guidelines that apply to our executive officers. All executive officers, including all NEOs, met their pro rata ownership and retention requirements under the Company’s policy in 2019.

Share Ownership Requirements	◗ CEO: 6x base salary ◗ CFO: 5x base salary ◗ Other executive officers: 3x base salary
Qualifying Share	◗ Ordinary shares owned outright
Interests	◗ PSU awards where the performance period is final and approved
	◗ Unvested RSUs
Time for	◗ Five years from the effective date of appointment
Achievement	◗ Pro rata requirement of 20% per year applies within the first five years
Consequences for Non-Achievement	◗ At the discretion of the Board of Directors
Retention Requirement	◗ 50% of the after-tax RSUs must be retained for at least one year following vesting ◗ Applies regardless of whether an executive has met the ownership requirement

Insider Trading and Speculation in Company Stock

Our officers, directors, and employees are prohibited from engaging in discretionary transactions involving our securities while in possession of material, non-public information or otherwise using such information in any manner that would violate applicable laws and regulations. All such individuals are also prohibited from directly or indirectly

speculating in Ordinary Shares, including derivative transactions, hedging and pledging activities, short selling, the sale or purchase of options in Ordinary Shares, and borrowing against Ordinary Shares. Our Insider Trading Policy aims to align management’s economic ownership risk with those of shareholders.

Tax Considerations

Section 162(m) of the U.S. tax code limits the deductibility of compensation in excess of $1 million paid to U.S.-based NEOs in any calendar year. Under the U.S. tax rules in effect before 2018, compensation that qualified as “performance- based” under Section 162(m) was deductible without regard to this $1 million limit. However, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “TCJA”) eliminated this performance-based compensation exception effective January 1, 2018, such that any compensation awarded on or after January 1, 2018 in excess of $1 million to our U.S.-based NEOs generally is not deductible. While the TCJA limits the deductibility of compensation paid to our U.S.-based NEOs, such limitations have not had and will not have a material impact on the Company’s executive compensation program. Our Compensation Committee will continue to structure our compensation program in the best long-term interests of our shareholders.

Amounts disclosed in the Stock Awards column represent the sum of the aggregate grant date fair value of time-based RSUs and PSUs subject to either performance (ROIC) or market-based (TSR) vesting conditions. Determination of fair value was made in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. With respect to PSUs subject to performance-based (ROIC) vesting conditions and time-based RSUs, the aggregate grant date fair value of such awards was based on the Company’s share price on the grant date of the awards at target performance. With respect to PSUs subject to TSR market-based vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of such award was determined utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation as disclosed in our Form 10-K.

The maximum award value of PSUs subject to both performance conditions and market-based conditions are shown in the table below. The methodology used in this table is the same as in the Summary Compensation Table for the PSUs.

The amounts shown in the Change in Pension Value column reflect the actuarial increase in the present value of the NEO’s benefits at the first retirement date with unreduced benefits (age 62 for U.S. pension programs) under all of our pension plans. These amounts are determined using interest rates and mortality rate assumptions consistent with those disclosed in our Form 10-K.

In 2018, the discount rate used to value the actuarial liability increased 70 basis points from 3.7% to 4.4%, resulting in a decrease in the pension value for Ms. Mannen by $299,788 and therefore, no increase is shown.

Pension Benefits Table

The table below shows the present value of accumulated benefits payable to Ms. Mannen, who is the only NEO who participates in a Company pension plan. The table includes the number of years of service credited to Ms. Mannen using interest rate and mortality rate assumptions consistent with those used in our financial statements. Credited years of service for Ms. Mannen includes years of service with FMC Technologies and its former parent company. The U.S. Pension Plan values are the present value of accrued benefits at the first retirement date for unreduced benefits. The U.S. Non- Qualified Pension Plan value is the present value at December 31, 2019 of the lump sum payable at the first retirement date for unreduced benefits.

Effective January 1, 2010, the U.S. Pension Plan and the U.S. Non-Qualified Pension Plan were closed to new entrants and frozen for employees, including executive officers, with less than five years of vesting service as of December 31, 2009. Accordingly, only Ms. Mannen participates in the

U.S. Pension Plan and the U.S. Non-Qualified Pension Plan. Effective December 31, 2017, future benefit accruals were frozen under the U.S. Pension Plan and the U.S. Non-Qualified Pension Plan.

The following assumptions were used to calculate the present value of Ms. Mannen’s accumulated benefits as of December 31, 2019:

–

U.S. Pension Plan

Benefit Formula

Our U.S. Pension Plan is a defined benefit plan that provides eligible employees having five or more years of service a pension benefit for retirement. Years of credited service and final average yearly earnings are used to calculate thepension benefit. The final average yearly earnings are based on the highest 60 consecutive months out of the final 120 months of compensation through the date on which benefit accruals were frozen, December 31, 2017. The normal annual retirement benefit is the product of (a) and (b) below:

(a)

the sum of:

1% of the participant’s final average yearly earnings up to the Social Security Covered Compensation Base (defined as the average of the maximum Social Security taxable wages bases for the 35-year period ending in the year in which Social Security retirement age is reached), plus 1.5% of the participant’s final average yearly earnings in excess of the Social Security covered compensation base, multiplied by the participant’s expected years of credited service at age 65 up to 35 years of credited service; and

ii.

1.5% of the participant’s final average yearly earnings multiplied by the participant’s expected years of credited service at age 65 in excess of 35 years of credited service; and

(b)

the ratio of actual years of credited service to expected years of credited service at age 65.

Eligible Earnings

Eligible earnings under the U.S. Pension Plan include the base salary and annual cash incentive bonus paid by the Company to the executives for each plan year, subject to certain IRS limits. Equity compensation, such as RSU, PSU, and stock option awards, and deferrals to the U.S. Non-Qualified Savings Plan, are not included. Eligible earnings were frozen as of December 31, 2017.

Early Retirement

The U.S. Pension Plan’s “early retirement” eligibility is on or after the participant’s 55th birthday with 10 years of service. A participant in the U.S. Pension Plan who retires on or after their “early retirement date” is entitled to receive the early retirement benefit, which is equal to the normal retirement benefit reduced by one-third of 1% for each month by which the commencement of the participant’s early retirement benefit precedes the participant’s 62nd birthday. A participant in the U.S. Pension Plan whose employment terminates prior to their early retirement date is entitled to receive an early retirement benefit payable after the attainment of age 55, which is equal to the normal retirement benefit reduced by one-half of 1% for each month by which the commencement of the participant’s early retirement benefit precedes the participant’s 65th birthday.

Payment of Pension Benefit

The normal retirement benefit is an individual life annuity for single retirees and 50% joint and survivor annuity for married retirees. The U.S. Pension Plan also provides for a variety of other methods for receiving pension benefits, such as 75% and 100% joint and survivor annuities, level income, and lump sum for benefits with lump sum values of $1,000 or less. The levels of annuities are actuarially determined based on the age of the participant and the age of the participant’s spouse for joint and survivor annuities. The actuarial reduction for a participant and spouse who are both age 62 is 7.9% from the normal retirement benefit for the 50% joint and survivor annuity, 11.4% from the normal retirement benefit for the 75% joint and survivor annuity, and 14.7% from the normal retirement benefit for the 100% joint and survivor annuity. The level income annuity pays increased benefits to the retiree until Social Security benefits begin at age 62 and reduces the benefit after age 62 so that the total of the retirement benefit and Social Security benefits is approximately equal before and after age 62.

97	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

U.S. Non-Qualified Pension Plan

The normal form of payment for the U.S. Non-Qualified Pension Plan is a lump sum distribution. In addition, a participant may elect to receive his benefit in monthly installments payable over five years. The actuarial equivalence assumption for interest rates is based on the lesser of the 30-year Treasury Rate in effect for October of the year prior to termination and 6%. Distributions will be made to Ms. Mannen six months after her separation from service because she is a “key employee” as defined by the Code.

Italian Statutory Pension Plan

The TFR (Trattamento di fine rapporto) is an end-of-employment contract indemnity constituted by a certain amount of salary set aside each month to be paid to each employee upon termination of the employment contract. It is calculated according to the formula of a year’s overall salary divided by 13.5. The TFR may be transferred (if the employee requests) to either a state pension fund or private complementary pension funds. Mr. Uccelletti has decided to transfer 100% of his TFR to a supplementary pension fund.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Table

Pursuant to the Company’s U.S. Non-Qualified Savings Plan, certain of our U.S.-based employees, including our NEOs, may defer up to 75% of base salary and annual cash incentive bonuses. For the U.S. Non-Qualified Savings Plan, deferral elections are made by eligible employees in November or December of each year for amounts earned (or granted with regard to incentive compensation awards) in the following year. The investment options are publicly available mutual funds. The Company’s matching contribution will be made in the same investment allocations that the participant selects for his or her contributions to the plan. In addition, the NEOs who participate in the U.S. Non-Qualified Savings Plan may

elect to defer all or any portion of their base salary and annual cash incentive bonus payments for the current year under the U.S. Non-Qualified Savings Plan, and the deferred amounts will be deemed as being invested in any funds available under the U.S. Non-Qualified Savings Plan.

Potential Payments upon Termination

The compensation and benefits payable to each of the NEOs in the event of a voluntary termination are the same as those available to all other salaried employees in those situations. Our NEOs receive additional compensation benefits either in the event of their death or disability, retirement, or involuntary not-for-cause termination as discussed in this section, or, alternatively, in the event of a change-in-control. Termination payments and change-in-control payments are mutually exclusive, and our NEOs are not entitled to receive both forms of payment.

Payments in the Event of Death, Disability, or Retirement

In the event of the death or disability of an NEO during active employment with the Company, all outstanding equity awards vest on the first business day following death or disability. This death or disability benefit exists for any of our employees who hold an unvested equity award at the time of their death or disability. In the event of an NEO’s

retirement after reaching the age of 62, all outstanding equity awards are retained and vest in accordance with their pre- retirement, normal vesting schedule. Nello Uccelletti was the only NEO eligible for retirement as of December 31, 2019.

The following table shows the value to each of the NEOs if death or disability had occurred on December 31, 2019.

Payments Made in the Event of a Qualifying Termination upon a Change-in-Control

Under the terms of our NEOs’ executive severance agreements, our NEOs are entitled to receive severance benefits if they experience a Qualifying Termination within 24 months following a change-in-control. A “Qualifying Termination” is an involuntary termination of the NEO’s employment by the Company for reasons other than cause, disability, or death or a voluntary resignation for good reason, in each case during the 24-month period following a change-in-control.

The amounts shown in the table below are calculated using the assumption that each NEO incurred a Qualifying Termination upon a change-in-control that was effective as of December 31, 2019. As a result, such amounts are based on amounts earned through such time and are only estimates of amounts that would be paid out to the NEOs in the event of such a termination. The actual amounts that would be paid if such a termination were to occur can only be determined at the time of such NEO’s actual termination.

CEO Pay Ratio

Pursuant to Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K as promulgated by the SEC, we are providing the following information about the ratio of the total annual compensation of our CEO to the total annual compensation of our median employee for our last completed fiscal year, 2019.

For 2019, the annual total compensation of our CEO for purposes of determining the pay ratio was $15,351,206, and the annual total compensation of our median employee was $63,294. As a result, for 2019, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the total annual compensation of our median employee was approximately 243:1. We identified the median employee in 2018, pursuant to the SEC guidelines referenced above. There were no significant changes to our employee population in 2019 and no significant changes to our pay policies and practices. As such, we kept the same median employee for the second year of three as permitted under Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.

In 2018, we identified our median employee from our employee population as of December 31, 2018, which consisted of approximately 36,720 individuals globally, with 6,107 employees being in the United States. As permitted under the SEC’s 5% “de minimis exemption,” we excluded employees in Algeria (44), Cameroon (11), China (251), Ghana (83), Kazakhstan (46), Mozambique (9), Poland (197), Saudi Arabia (65), Tunisia (6), Venezuela (96), Vietnam (71), and United Arab Emirates (2). After these exclusions, our employee population used in determining our median employee was 35,839 employees. In identifying the median employee, we first identified a median base salary using full-year 2018 salaries actually earned. This population was further refined into the most represented job classifications. We then excluded certain employees who, based on our employee population and compensation practices, we assumed would not be representative of our median employee. From this subset we computed the total annual compensation of each employee and the median employee was selected from that group.

The SEC’s rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. As a result, the pay ratios reported by other companies are likely not comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and likely utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates, and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

End-of-Service Agreement	On May 1, 2019, Mr. Pilenko retired from the Board of Directors.
	He received end-of-service payments in line with his service agreement previously disclosed. The detailed payments are as follows:
	(a)	a lump sum payment equal to his annual base salary and target annual cash incentive, subject to his signing a release of claims	$2,213,582
	(b)	payment for all accrued but unused vacation days	$73,551
	(c)	continuation of his supplementary health and tax preparation reimbursement benefits for two years	$72,337¹
	(1) The cost for continuation of supplementary health is $21,176. The cost for tax preparation of $51,161 has been estimated based on 2019 actual cost.
	He also received payment of his annual cash incentive bonus, pro-rated for the duration of his service as Executive Chairman, i.e., four months, amounting to $402,470. After May 1, 2019, Mr. Pilenko remained as an employee through December 31, 2019, using up his paid time off accrued under French law. He did not receive any annual cash incentive bonus for this period. The reimbursement of intercontinental flights for his spouse ceased on May 1, 2019. As a retirement-eligible employee based on the TechnipFMC Incentive Award Plan, he will not forfeit his awards upon his end of service. He was not awarded any long-term incentive as part of his end of service. His last long-term incentive grant was awarded in 2017. The equity reflected in the tables below are related to grants made in prior years. All stock options granted under legacy Technip plans, RSU and PSU awards, and other awards granted prior to the Merger will continue on their existing terms, including performance assessment, when applicable, and were not forfeited for discontinued presence or upon his termination of employment. Our Board of Directors confirmed that a non-compete agreement was in the best interest of the Company and shareholders given Mr. Pilenko’s deep knowledge of the Company’s strategy, markets, and operations, his 35 years of industry expertise, and the overall competitive nature of the oil and gas industry. This non-compete, which will be paid in 2020, includes a required payment to ensure enforceability of the agreement in the key markets in which the Company operates, including the United States, France, and the United Kingdom. Mr. Pilenko will receive an annual cash incentive of $2,213,582 payable monthly over January to December 2020 as payment for this non-compete.

The terms of the annual cash and long-term equity incentive programs are as described in “—Annual Cash Incentive Bonus” and “—Long-Term Equity Incentives.”

Benefits

As a French employee, Mr. Pilenko participated in a supplementary retirement plan for executives, with fixed contributions of 8% of his annual gross compensation up to a statutory limit capped at eight times the annual French social security (Sécurité sociale) limit (€25,935, or $28,995, for 2019).

Executive Chairman Compensation Table

Mr. Pilenko’s compensation for 2019 was in accordance with our Directors’ Remuneration Policy that was approved at our 2018 Annual Meeting, and his end-of-service payments are in accordance with the terms of his service agreement.

The following table summarizes the compensation earned by Mr. Pilenko for his services as Executive Chairman from January 1 to May 1, 2019 and as an employee on paid time off from May 2 to December 31, 2019.

(1)

The amounts reported as Salary, Non-Equity Incentive Compensation, and All Other Compensation for Mr. Pilenko were paid in Euros. Mr. Pilenko’s salary remained unchanged since our Company’s formation in 2017 (i.e., a salary of €900,000). The amounts in this column vary from year to year due to the applicable Euro to U.S. dollar conversion on the last day of each month during each reporting year.

(2)

The amounts represent the sum of the aggregate grant date fair value of options, RSUs, and PSUs. They are based on an assumption that target performance would be achieved. The actual value of the award may increase or decrease if actual performance is above or below target. The maximum award value of PSUs subject to both performance conditions and market-based conditions is $7,476,018 for the 2017 grant. The methodology used to determine this value is the same as that described in the Summary Compensation Table for the NEOs’ PSUs. The actual value of the 2017 grant that vested on February 28, 2020 was $2,103,599.

(3)

Mr. Pilenko’s 2019 annual cash incentive bonus was paid at its target value, pro-rated to his time of service as Executive Chairman, from January 1 to May 1, 2019. He did not earn any bonus relative to the period from May 2, 2019 to December 31, 2019 when he was employed but paid using accrued time off.

For 2017 and 2018, the amounts also include the payment of the last two installments of the 2014 legacy Technip Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan of $102,393 and $106,119, respectively.

(4)

The 2019 amount represents Mr. Pilenko’s severance pay of $2,213,582, payment of accrued but unused vacation days of $73,551, premiums for medical, life, and disability insurance of $31,547 (for 2019, 2020, and 2021 as part of his severance agreement), contributions to the French supplementary retirement plan of $28,995, financial planning and personal tax assistance of $25,581, and spouse travel related to Company business functions of $17,155.

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Our Board has implemented a mandatory retirement age of 72, as set forth in the Company’s Governance Guidelines. Pursuant to our retirement policy, Messrs. Colombani and Ringler are subject to retirement at the Annual Meeting.

However, to ensure continuity through the completion of our announced spin-off transaction and in light of each director’s deep institutional knowledge and valuable contributions to the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommended, and the Board unanimously approved, a waiver of the retirement policy in order to nominate Messrs. Colombani and Ringler to an additional one-year term. In reaching its decision, the Board considered Messrs. Colombani’s and Ringler’s extensive skills, experience, and industry and Company knowledge given their status as two of our longest tenured directors. The Board determined that waiving the retirement policy for each director would ensure the continued strong, and effective independent leadership of the Board and ease the transition of the Board after the spin-off transaction. Messrs. Colombani and Ringler recused themselves from all committee and Board discussions of the waiver.

Each of the director nominees has consented to serving as a nominee, being named in this Proxy Statement, and serving on the Board, if elected. Each director nominee elected at the Annual Meeting will serve for a one-year term expiring at the 2021 Annual Meeting or until the earliest to occur of (i) his or her successor is elected and qualified, (ii) the completion of our announced spin-off transaction, or (iii) his or her earlier death, retirement, resignation, or removal in accordance with the Articles.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the election of each director noTminee.

Proposal 2 –

2019 Say-on-Pay for NEOs

What am I voting on?

Executive compensation is an important matter to the Company, the Board, the Compensation Committee, and the Company’s shareholders. Our executive compensation program is reviewed by the Compensation Committee with the objective of developing a program that balances the Company’s implementation of business plans in the short term, while remaining focused on long-term strategy.

Our Say-on-Pay vote gives our shareholders the opportunity to vote on a non-binding, advisory resolution to approve the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables, and narrative discussion. We currently include this advisory vote on an annual basis. While the Say-on-Pay vote is advisory and therefore not binding, our Board and Compensation Committee value the diverse perspectives of our shareholders, which we receive through a number of channels, including the Say-on-Pay vote. We carefully consider our shareholders’ feedback throughout the year in evaluating our executive compensation program. We are asking our shareholders to approve the compensation of our NEOs by casting a vote “FOR” the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s NEOs, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables, and narrative discussion is hereby APPROVED.

What are some of our executive compensation program highlights?

The “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement describes in detail our executive compensation program and decisions made by our Compensation Committee for 2019.

Is this vote binding on the Board or the Compensation Committee?

This vote is advisory only, pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and our NEOs’ 2019 compensation is not conditional on it. The vote will not be binding upon the Board or the Compensation Committee, and neither the Board nor the Compensation Committee will be required to take any action (or refrain from taking any action) as a result of the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

The Board values shareholders’ feedback, and the Compensation Committee will review and consider the outcome of the vote, as well as feedback received directly from shareholders from our shareholder engagement program, in connection with the ongoing review of the Company’s executive compensation program. However, shareholders should note that because the advisory vote on executive compensation occurs well after the beginning of the compensation year, and because the different elements of our executive compensation programs are designed to operate in an integrated manner and to complement one another, in many cases it may not be appropriate or feasible to change our executive compensation programs in consideration of any one year’s advisory vote on executive compensation by the time of the following year’s annual general meeting of shareholders.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” this proposal.

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Proposal 3 –

2019 Directors’

Remuneration Report

What am I voting on?

All U.K. incorporated companies that are ��quoted companies” under the Companies Act are required to submit their directors’ remuneration report to shareholders on an annual basis. As such, we are asking our shareholders to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the 2019 Directors’ Remuneration Report of our U.K. Annual Report and Accounts, which reports our 2019 executive and non-executive directors’ compensation. Please see the discussion under “Proposal 2—Say-on-Pay for NEOs” above for the reasons why the Board is recommending that the shareholders vote “FOR” the 2019 Directors’ Remuneration Report.

Is this vote binding on the Board or the Compensation Committee?

This vote is advisory only, pursuant to the Companies Act, and our directors’ entitlement to receive remuneration is not conditional on it. Payments made or promised to directors will not have to be repaid, reduced, or withheld in the event that the resolution is not passed.

The resolution and vote are a means of providing shareholder feedback to the Board. The Board values shareholders’ feedback, and the Compensation Committee will review and consider the outcome of the vote in connection with the ongoing review of the Company’s executive director and non-executive director compensation programs.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” this proposal.

Proposal 4 –

Receipt of U.K. Annual Report

and Accounts

What am I voting on?

Along with this Proxy Statement, the Company is providing its U.K. Annual Report and Accounts, including the related directors’ and auditor’s report, for the year ended December 31, 2019. Under the Companies Act, our shareholders must vote to receive the U.K. Annual Report and Accounts and related reports.

Proposal 5 –

Ratification of U.S. Auditor

What am I voting on?

The Audit Committee has appointed PwC as the Company’s U.S. independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, subject to ratification by the Company’s shareholders. Although the ratification of this appointment is not required to be submitted to a vote of the shareholders, the Board believes it appropriate as a matter of policy to request that the shareholders ratify the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2020.

If this proposal is not approved, the Audit Committee will reconsider the appointment, but may decide to maintain its appointment of PwC.

Representatives of PwC are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

How much was the independent registered public accounting firm paid for 2019 and 2018?

Set forth below is summary information with respect to PwC’s fees for services provided in 2019 and 2018.

Type of Fees	2019 (in millions)	2018 (in millions)
Audit Fees	$22.80	$15.52
Audit-Related Fees	$0.06	0.25
Tax Fees	$0.13	0.51
Other Fees	$0	0.93
Total	$22.99	$17.21

“Audit Fees” includes fees for audit services, which relate to the annual integrated audit of consolidated financial statements, foreign statutory audits, and reviews of interim financial statements in Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. For 2019, “Audit Fees” also include approximately $7 million in additional audit fees associated with the announced spin-off of transaction. “Audit-Related Fees” includes fees for audit-related services, which primarily consist of consultation on financial reporting standards. “Tax Fees” includes fees for tax services, consisting of tax compliance services and tax planning and consultation with respect to various corporate tax matters. “Other Fees” includes fees for other services, including fees for services of expatriates and miscellaneous services.

What are the Company’s pre-approval policies and procedures?

The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to the approval of all audit and non-audit services that are to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. This policy generally provides that we will not engage our independent registered public accounting firm to render audit or non-audit services unless the service is specifically approved in advance by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee’s practice is to consider for approval, at its regularly scheduled meetings, all audit and non-audit services proposed to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee reviews all relationships between our independent registered public accounting firm and us that may relate to the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence.

The Audit Committee pre-approved all audit, audit-related, tax, and other services provided by PwC for 2019 and 2018 and the estimated costs of those services.

Proposal 6 –

Reappointment of U.K.

Statutory Auditor

What am I voting on?

Under the Companies Act, the Company’s U.K. statutory auditor must be reappointed at each meeting at which the U.K. annual report and accounts are presented to shareholders. The Company’s current U.K. statutory auditor is PwC. We are asking shareholders to approve the reappointment of PwC as the Company’s U.K. statutory auditor to hold office from the conclusion of the Annual Meeting until the next annual general meeting of shareholders at which accounts are laid.

If this proposal is not approved, the Board may appoint an auditor to fill the vacancy.

Proposal 7 –

Approval of U.K. Statutory

Auditor Fees

What am I voting on?

Under the Companies Act, the remuneration of the Company’s U.K. statutory auditor must be fixed in a general meeting or in such manner as may be determined in a general meeting. The Company is asking its shareholders to authorize the Board and/or the Audit Committee to determine the remuneration of PwC in its capacity as the Company’s U.K. statutory auditor under the Companies Act for the year ending December 31, 2020. The Board delegates this authority to determine the remuneration of the Company’s U.K. statutory auditor to the Audit Committee in accordance with the Board’s procedures and applicable law.

Transactions with

Related Persons

The Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers questions of possible conflicts of interest for related persons and recommends to our Board the appropriate resolution of any conflict of interest or any related person transaction. In reviewing and approving any related person transactions, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee follows procedures pursuant to which transactions are reviewed, approved, or ratified.

Under the SEC rules, “related persons” include any director, executive officer, director nominee, or greater than 5% shareholder of the Company, and their immediate family members. Our review procedures apply to any transaction in which:

(a)

the Company is a participant;

(b)

any related person has a direct or indirect material interest; and

(c)

the amount involved exceeds $120,000, but excludes any transaction that does not require disclosure under Item 404(a) of SEC Regulation S-K.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing, and where appropriate, approving or ratifying any related person transaction involving the Company or its subsidiaries and related persons. The committee approves only those transactions that are in our best interests and the best interests of our shareholders, and considers factors such as: (a) the benefit of the transaction to us and our shareholders; (b) any alternatives to the transaction; and (c) whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm’s-length dealings with an unrelated third party.

In addition, our Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct require directors and executive officers to disclose potential conflicts of interest, and directors must recuse themselves from discussing or voting on any issue for which they may have a conflict. Directors and executive officers also complete an annual questionnaire that contains questions regarding related person transactions.

In 2019, we were not a participant in any transaction, or series of related transactions, in which any “related person” had, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest and in which the amount involved exceeded $120,000.

Without prejudice to the rights of a shareholder of record under the Companies Act, if a shareholder wishes to submit a proposal at our 2021 Annual Meeting other than for inclusion in our 2021 Proxy Statement and form of proxy, our Articles require the shareholder to deliver written notice thereof, setting forth the information specified in our Articles, to the Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices no earlier than December 25, 2020 and no later than January 24, 2021; provided, however, that the subject of the proposal must otherwise be a proper matter for shareholder action. In the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after April 24, 2021, however, a shareholder must deliver notice no earlier than the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of: (a) the 90th day prior to such annual meeting; or (b) the 10th day following the day on which we first make a public announcement of the date of such meeting. A copy of our Articles may be obtained by writing to One St. Paul’s Churchyard, London EC4M 8AP, United Kingdom, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

Under sections 338 and 338A of the Companies Act, shareholders of record meeting the threshold requirements in those sections may require the Company to include: (i) a resolution in its notice of annual general meeting; or (ii) any matter (other than a proposed resolution) in the business to be dealt with at the 2021 Annual Meeting. Provided that the appropriate thresholds are met, notice of the resolution or matter must be received by the Company at One St. Paul’s Churchyard, London EC4M 8AP, United Kingdom, Attention: Corporate Secretary, at least six weeks prior to the date of the 2021 Annual Meeting or, if later, at the time notice of the annual general meeting is delivered to shareholders.

Shareholders Sharing

an Address

We have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called “householding.” Under this procedure, shareholders who have the same address and last name and do not participate in electronic delivery of Proxy Materials will receive only one copy of our Proxy Materials, unless one or more of the shareholders at that address notifies us that they wish to continue receiving individual copies. Each shareholder will continue to receive a separate proxy card or voting instruction card. We believe this procedure provides greater convenience to our shareholders and reinforces the Company’s Foundational Belief of sustainability by reducing wasteful duplicate mailings, as well as printing and mailing costs and fees.

The Company will promptly deliver, upon written or oral request, individual copies of the Proxy Materials to any shareholder at the shared address to which single copies of those documents were delivered. If you would like to request separate copies of the Proxy Materials or do not wish to participate in householding in the future, please contact Broadridge Investor Communication Services (“Broadridge”), our proxy distributor, by calling toll-free 800-542-1061, or by writing to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717. If you are currently receiving multiple copies of our Proxy Materials and wish to receive only one copy for your household, please contact Broadridge at the same telephone number and address listed above.

A number of brokerage firms have instituted householding. If you hold your Ordinary Shares in street name, please contact your bank, broker, or other nominee to request information about householding.

General Information about the Annual Meeting

What is the location of the Annual Meeting?

The Annual Meeting will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 10:00 a.m., London time, at One St. Paul’s Churchyard, London EC4M 8AP, United Kingdom, or at such other time and place to which the Annual Meeting may be adjourned or postponed.

What is a proxy statement?

A proxy statement is a document that the rules and regulations of the United States, including those promulgated by the SEC, require the Company to provide to shareholders to ensure shareholders can make informed decisions about the matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting.

What is a proxy?

A proxy is: (a) your legal designation to another person to vote the Ordinary Shares that you own; and (b) the term for such designee. If you delegate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document is called a proxy card.

How will the Company distribute Proxy Materials?

The Company utilizes the “Notice and Access” method of providing the Proxy Materials to shareholders. With “Notice and Access,” we are permitted to furnish Proxy Materials to our shareholders by providing access to such documents on the internet instead of mailing printed copies. Shareholders may receive our Proxy Materials in one of the following ways:

Notice and Access: Most shareholders will not receive printed copies of the Proxy Materials unless they request them. Instead, the Notice of Materials, which was mailed to most of our shareholders beginning on or about March 13, 2020, will instruct you on how to access and review all of the Proxy Materials at www.proxyvote.com. Such notice also instructs you on how you may submit your proxy on the internet. If you would like to receive a paper or email copy of our Proxy Materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials in the Notice of Materials. Any request to receive Proxy Materials by mail or email will remain in effect until you revoke it. Shareholders who do not receive a Notice of Materials will receive a paper copy of the Proxy Materials by mail or an electronic copy of the Proxy Materials by email (see below).

Email Access to Proxy Materials: Shareholders who previously elected to receive notice of access to Proxy Materials via email will not receive the Notice of Materials in the mail. You should have received an email with links to the Proxy Materials and online proxy voting.

Paper Copy of Proxy Materials with Proxy Card: All shareholders of record and shareholders who previously requested paper copies of the Proxy Materials will not receive the Notice of Materials. Instead, such shareholders will continue to receive a paper copy of the Proxy Materials until a request is submitted to change delivery methods. You can eliminate all such paper mailings in the future by electing to receive an email that provides internet links to these documents. Opting to receive all future Proxy Materials online will save us the cost of producing and mailing documents to your home or business and help us conserve natural resources. To request electronic delivery, please follow the instructions on your proxy card or voting instruction card.

137	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Request through Bank/Broker: Shareholders holding Ordinary Shares in anonymous form (au porteur) through Euroclear France must contact their bank, broker, or financial intermediary to request the Proxy Materials, including a proxy card that will enable shareholders to vote, request an admission ticket, or authorize a proxy for the Annual Meeting.

Proxy Materials will also be made available on our website at www.TechnipFMC.com under the heading “Investors > Events & presentations > Shareholders’ meeting” as well as at www.proxyvote.com.

Where can I find governance documents related to the Company?

Our Governance Guidelines, our Code of Business Conduct (including our core values and Foundational Beliefs), the charters for our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and Strategy Committee, and other corporate governance and sustainability information are available on our website at www.TechnipFMC.com under the heading “About us.” These materials are also available in print, free of charge, to any shareholder upon written request submitted to One St. Paul’s Churchyard, London EC4M 8AP, United Kingdom, Attention: Corporate Secretary. The information on our website is not a part of this Proxy Statement and is not incorporated into any of our filings made with the SEC.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

You can vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof if you are a shareholder of record or beneficial owner of our Ordinary Shares as of 5:00 p.m., New York time, on February 27, 2020 (the “Record Date”). In addition, provisions under the Companies Act allow shareholders of record as of 10:00 a.m., London time, on April 22, 2020, to vote at the Annual Meeting (the “CA Record Date”).

Beneficial owners must comply with the February 27, 2020 Record Date, as the CA Record Date only applies to shareholders of record. Please see the question below for an explanation of the difference between a shareholder of record and a beneficial owner. Unless otherwise restricted from voting in accordance with applicable law and/or the Articles, you will have one vote for each Ordinary Share per proposal. As of February 27, 2020, we had 447,064,767 Ordinary Shares outstanding and entitled to vote.

Any corporate or institutional shareholder may, by resolution of its articles or other governing body, authorize another person to act as its representative at the Annual Meeting, and such authorized person will (on production of a certified copy of such resolution at the Annual Meeting) be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation as that corporation could exercise if it was an individual shareholder of the Company.

Any beneficial owner who would like to vote in person at the Annual Meeting must obtain a legal proxy from his or her bank, broker, or other nominee and present it to the inspector of elections, together with his or her voting card, at the Annual Meeting.

In the case of joint holders, the vote of the senior holder who submits a vote will be accepted to the exclusion of the vote of the other joint holders, with seniority determined by the order in which the names of the holders appear in the register of members of our transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services plc (“Computershare”).

A complete list of shareholders of record entitled to vote will be open to the examination of any shareholder for any purpose relevant to the Annual Meeting for a period of 10 days prior to the Annual Meeting at our office at One St. Paul’s Churchyard, London EC4M 8AP, United Kingdom, during ordinary business hours. This list will also be available at the location of the Annual Meeting and open to the examination of any shareholder present at the Annual Meeting.

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

What is the difference between holding Ordinary Shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

As summarized below, there are some differences between Ordinary Shares held of record and those owned beneficially in street name.

Shareholders of Record. If your Ordinary Shares are registered directly in your name on the register of members with Computershare, you are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares, and the Proxy Materials, including a proxy card, are being sent directly to you. As a shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to us, to vote electronically, or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owners. If your Ordinary Shares are held in a stock brokerage account, or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and the Notice of Materials or Proxy Materials are being forwarded to you by your bank, broker, or nominee through whom you hold the shares. Most of our shareholders hold their Ordinary Shares in this manner rather than directly in their own name. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank, broker, or other nominee on how to vote your Ordinary Shares by following the instructions contained in the Notice of Materials or Proxy Materials. If you requested printed Proxy Materials, your bank, broker, or other nominee has enclosed a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the bank, broker, or other nominee regarding how to vote your Ordinary Shares.

If you are a beneficial owner holding Ordinary Shares in anonymous “bearer” form (au porteur) in Euroclear France, your bank, broker, or financial intermediary shall provide you, upon request, with the specific proxy form prepared by Société Générale Securities Services, our local centralization agent, which will enable you to vote, request an admission ticket, or authorize a proxy for the Annual Meeting. Please see “How do I vote?” below.

Do I have to attend the Annual Meeting to vote?

No, attendance at the Annual Meeting is not required for shareholders to vote their Ordinary Shares. Please see “How do I vote?” below for the various voting methods available to shareholders. Shareholders who desire to attend the Annual Meeting in person must obtain an admission ticket. Please see “Who can attend the Annual Meeting?” below.

Who can attend the Annual Meeting?

Each shareholder who attends the Annual Meeting will need to bring an admission ticket and provide valid photo identification, such as a driver’s license or passport.

To attend the Annual Meeting, you must have been: (a) a beneficial owner as of 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Record Date; and/or (b) a shareholder of record as of 10:00 a.m., London time, on the CA Record Date. Beneficial owners must comply with the February 27, 2020 Record Date, as the CA Record Date only applies to shareholders of record.

Admission tickets can be printed up to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on April 23, 2020, by accessing the Shareholder Meeting Registration link at www.proxyvote.com. You will need the 16-digit control number printed on your Notice of Materials, proxy card, or voting instruction form from your bank, broker, or other nominee. Shareholders holding Ordinary Shares in anonymous form (au porteur) in Euroclear France will not be issued a 16-digit control number and must contact their bank, broker, or financial intermediary to vote and request an admission ticket (see further instructions below).

If you are the representative of a corporate or institutional shareholder, you must present your company’s admission ticket, valid photo identification, and proof that you are the representative of such shareholder. Please see “Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?” above.

You will need to return the completed proxy form to your bank, broker, or financial intermediary before April 21, 2020 to ensure sufficient time for your votes to be transmitted through the Euroclear France system and for an admission ticket to be issued to you.

Procedures

Due to space constraints and other security considerations, we are not able to admit the guests of either shareholders or their legal proxy holders.

Be prepared to comply with security requirements, which may include security guards searching all bags. No cameras, recording equipment, electronic devices, large bags, briefcases, or packages will be permitted into the meeting or adjacent areas.

IF YOU DO NOT PROVIDE AN ADMISSION TICKET, SHOW VALID PHOTO IDENTIFICATION, AND COMPLY WITH THE OTHER PROCEDURES OUTLINED ABOVE FOR ATTENDING THE ANNUAL MEETING, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO ADMIT YOU TO ATTEND THE ANNUAL MEETING.

How do I vote?

Your voting deadline will depend on where your Ordinary Shares are traded and/or how you hold your shares. Please vote your shares according to the deadline appearing on the front of your proxy card, as instructed on www.proxyvote.com, or as instructed by your bank, broker, or financial intermediary.

Shareholders of Record

If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote your Ordinary Shares in person at the Annual Meeting or appoint another person(s) as your proxy to vote on your behalf using any of the following methods:

by completing and signing the proxy card and returning it in the prepaid envelope provided;

by submission via the internet at www.proxyvote.com and following the instructions provided; or

by telephone, using the toll-free telephone number shown on the proxy card.

Please vote your shares no later than 11:59 p.m., New York time, on April 23, 2020.

The return of a completed proxy card, or the submission of proxy instructions via the internet or by telephone, will not prevent a shareholder of record from attending and voting at the Annual Meeting. If you have appointed a proxy and attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person, your proxy appointment will automatically be terminated.

If you properly give instructions as to your proxy appointment by executing and returning a paper proxy card, or through the internet or by telephone and your proxy appointment is not subsequently revoked, your Ordinary Shares will be voted in accordance with your instructions.

Please sign the proxy card exactly as your name appears on the card. If a shareholder of record is a corporation, limited liability company, or partnership, the proxy card should be signed in the full corporate, limited liability company, or partnership name by a duly authorized person. If the proxy card is signed pursuant to a power of attorney or by an executor, administrator, trustee, or guardian, please state the signatory’s full title and provide a certificate or other proof of appointment.

If you are a shareholder of record and you execute and return a proxy card but do not give instructions, your proxy will be voted “FOR” each of Proposals 1 through 7 and otherwise in accordance with the judgment of the person or persons voting the proxy on any other matter properly brought before the Annual Meeting.

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Beneficial Owners Holding through the NYSE

If you are a beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares traded on the NYSE, please follow the directions provided by your bank, broker, or other nominee. You may submit instructions by telephone or through the internet to your bank, broker, or other nominee, or request and return a paper voting instruction card to your bank, broker, or other nominee.

If you are a beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares traded on the NYSE and you wish to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a legal proxy from your bank, broker, or other nominee and present it to the inspector of elections together with your voting card at the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owners Holding through Euroclear France

If you are a shareholder holding Ordinary Shares in direct or indirect nominative form in Euroclear France (au nominatif pur ou administré), you should follow the instructions provided in the Notice of Materials and the Proxy Materials to vote your shares no later than 11:59 p.m., New York time, on April 23, 2020. If you have not received a Notice of Materials, you should contact Société Générale Securities Services (if you hold in direct nominative form) or the bank, broker, or financial intermediary who manages your securities account (if you hold in indirect nominative form) to ensure that your contact details are updated and you receive the Notice of Materials.

If you are a shareholder holding Ordinary Shares in anonymous form (au porteur) in Euroclear France through a bank, broker, or financial intermediary, you should contact such bank, broker, or financial intermediary who manages your securities account to request a specific proxy form prepared by Société Générale Securities Services, which will enable you to vote, request an admission ticket, or authorize a proxy for the Annual Meeting. You will need to return the completed proxy form to your bank, broker, or financial intermediary before April 21, 2020 to ensure sufficient time for your votes to be transmitted through the Euroclear France system.

If you acquired your Ordinary Shares on Euronext, or if you are a legacy Technip S.A. shareholder, it is likely that you own your shares in Euroclear France. If you are uncertain as to your holding status, you should reach out to the bank, broker, or other nominee with whom you hold your shares in order to be informed of your status and the corresponding voting procedure.

Employees Who Participate in the Legacy Technip Employee Share Purchase Program

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Can I change my vote?

Yes, you may change your vote prior to the Annual Meeting as follows:

Shareholders of Record

If you are a shareholder of record, you can change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before the Annual Meeting by:

entering a later-dated proxy by telephone or via the internet prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on April 23, 2020;

delivering a valid, later-dated proxy card that is received by Broadridge at least 24 hours prior to the start of the Annual Meeting;

sending written notice to the Company Secretary at the Company’s registered office that is received at least 24 hours prior to the start of the Annual Meeting; or

voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owners

If you are a beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your bank, broker, or other nominee. However, beneficial owners holding in anonymous form (au porteur) in Euroclear France cannot change their vote once they have submitted the specific proxy form to their bank, broker, or other nominee.

You may also vote in person at the Annual Meeting if you obtain a legal proxy as described under “How do I vote?” above.

All Ordinary Shares that have been properly voted and not revoked will be counted in the votes at the Annual Meeting. Attending the Annual Meeting without taking further action will not automatically revoke your prior telephone or internet vote of your proxy.

What should I do if I receive more than one proxy card?

If you own some Ordinary Shares directly in your name as a registered holder and other Ordinary Shares as a beneficial owner holding through a bank, broker, or other nominee, or if you own Ordinary Shares through more than one bank, broker, or other nominee, you may receive multiple proxy cards. It is necessary for you to fill in, sign, and return all of the proxy cards included in the Proxy Materials you receive in order to vote all of the Ordinary Shares that you own.

How many votes must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

A quorum of shareholders is necessary to transact business at the Annual Meeting. A quorum exists if the holders who represent at least the majority of our outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting are present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum at the Annual Meeting.

What if I have been nominated by a shareholder of record to have information rights under the Companies Act?

A copy of this Proxy Statement has been provided “for information purposes only” to persons who have been nominated by a shareholder of record to enjoy information rights in accordance with Section 146 of the Companies Act (a “Nominated Person”). A Nominated Person does not possess the same rights as a shareholder of record to appoint a proxy and cannot vote at the Annual Meeting, unless such Nominated Person has an agreement with the nominating shareholder of record to be appointed as a proxy for the meeting (or to have someone else appointed as a proxy).

142	TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

What is a broker non-vote?

If you own your Ordinary Shares through a bank, broker, or other nominee and do not provide the organization that holds your Ordinary Shares with specific voting instructions, the bank, broker, or other nominee is generally permitted to vote your Ordinary Shares at its discretion on routine matters, but may not exercise discretion, and therefore will not vote, on non-routine matters. A broker non-vote occurs where a bank, broker, or other nominee holding Ordinary Shares on your behalf does not vote on a particular proposal because it has not received voting instructions from you and does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that proposal.

Proposals 4 through 7 are each considered a routine matter under the rules of the NYSE. A bank, broker, or other nominee may generally vote in their discretion on routine matters, and therefore, no broker non-votes are expected to occur in connection with such proposals.

Proposals 1 through 3 are matters considered non-routine under the rules of the NYSE. A bank, broker, or other nominee may not vote on these non-routine matters without specific voting instructions from the beneficial owner. As a result, there may be broker non-votes with respect to such proposals.

In summary, if you hold your Ordinary Shares in street name, your bank, broker, or other nominee will not have discretionary authority to vote your Ordinary Shares for Proposals 1 through 3 if you do not provide instructions. As such, we strongly encourage you to exercise your right to vote as a shareholder.

What are the voting requirements to approve the resolutions?

In accordance with the Articles, all resolutions will be taken on a poll, which means that each Ordinary Share represented in person or by proxy is entitled to one vote for each proposal.

Proposals 1 through 7 will be proposed as ordinary resolutions, which means that each resolution requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast to be approved. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as a vote either for or against these resolutions.

With respect to Proposal 2 (regarding the Say-on-Pay Proposal for NEOs) and Proposal 3 (regarding the proposal for the 2019 Directors’ Remuneration Report), the results of the vote will not be legally binding on the Board or any committee thereof to take any action, or refrain from taking any action. However, our Board values the opinions of our shareholders as expressed through advisory votes and other communications and will carefully consider the outcome.

Who will pay the costs of this proxy solicitation?

The Company will pay the expenses of the preparation of Proxy Materials and the solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting. The Company has retained Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies at a cost estimated to be $15,500, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, solicitation may be made on our behalf by certain directors, officers, or employees of the Company and its subsidiaries telephonically, electronically, or by any other means of communication. Directors, officers, and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries will receive no additional compensation for such solicitation. In accordance with the rules of the SEC and NYSE, the Company will also reimburse banks, brokers, and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by them in forwarding Proxy Materials to beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares and obtaining the proxies of such owners. We have retained Broadridge to aid in the distribution of our Proxy Materials and to provide voting and tabulation services for the Annual Meeting. For these services, we will pay Broadridge a fee of approximately $13,500 and reimburse it for reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses. In addition, we have retained Société Générale Securities Services to act as local centralization agent for the collection of the votes of the beneficial holders holding in anonymous “bearer” form (au porteur) in Euroclear France, at a cost of approximately €25,000.

TechnipFMC Proxy Statement 2020

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

The preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. The final voting results will be checked by the inspector of elections and disclosed by way of an announcement via a regulatory information service in the United Kingdom and a Current Report on Form 8-K in the United States. The results of the votes on the resolutions at the Annual Meeting and any other information required by the Companies Act will be made available on the Company’s website (www.TechnipFMC.com) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Annual Meeting and for a period of two years thereafter.
