Item 3.

On February 16, 2021, TechnipFMC plc (“TechnipFMC”) completed its separation into two independent, publicly traded companies: TechnipFMC, a fully integrated technology and services provider, and the Issuer, a leading engineering and technology player. The transaction was structured as a spin-off of a majority stake in the TechnipFMC’s Technip Energies segment in the form of a share dividend pursuant to which holders of TechnipFMC shares, including the Reporting Persons, received one Ordinary Share for every five ordinary shares, $1.00 par value per share of TechnipFMC owned by such shareholder (the “Spin-off”).

 

On March 31, 2021, Bpifrance Participations purchased 7,474,829 Ordinary Shares at $13.3782 per share for a total purchase price of $100.0 million from TechnipFMC pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement entered into between Bpifrance Participations and TechnipFMC, dated as of January 7, 2021, as amended on March 31, 2021 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”). Bpifrance Participations obtained the funds to purchase the Ordinary Shares from working capital.

 

 

 

Item 4. < /font>

Purpose of Transaction.

 

The information included in Items 3 and 6 is incorporated herein by reference.

 

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

As of the date hereof, (i) Bpifrance Participations holds directly 12,412,567 Ordinary Shares, which represents approximately 6.9% of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares and (ii) CDC holds directly 228,847 Ordinary Shares, which represents approximately 0.1% of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares. As of the date hereof, neither Bpifrance S.A. nor EPIC holds any Ordinary Shares directly.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

On January 7, 2021, in connection with the Spin-off, TechnipFMC and Bpifrance Participations entered into the Share Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Bpifrance Participations agreed to purchase from TechnipFMC for $200.0 million, subject to certain conditions and a purchase price adjustment as described below, a number of Ordinary Shares determined based upon a thirty day VWAP of the Ordinary Shares, less a six percent discount (the “Investment”). The Share Purchase Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference.

 

On March 31, 2021, Bpifrance Participations and TechnipFMC entered into an amendment (the “SPA Amendment”) to the Share Purchase Agreement that amended the number of Ordinary Shares to be acquired by Bpifrance Participations to provide that it would purchase from TechnipFMC 7,474,829 Ordinary Shares at $13.3782 per share for a total purchase price of $100.0 million. Because Bpifrance Participations had already paid $200.0 million to TechnipFMC on February 25, 2021 per the original terms, under the SPA Amendment, TechnipFMC agreed to repay Bpifrance Participations the excess $100.0 million by the thirty fifth (35th) trading day after the Distribution Date (being April 8, 2021). The SPA Amendment is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

On January 7, 2021, in connection with the Spin-off and the Investment, the Issuer entered into a relationship agreement with TechnipFMC and Bpifrance Participations relating to certain rights and obligations of each of TechnipFMC and Bpifrance Participations as a holder of its shares (the “Relationship Agreement”). Pursuant to the Relationship Agreement, Bpifrance Participations has the right to propose to the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) (i) two nominees, so long as it owns at least 18% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares and ADRs, in the aggregate, and (ii) one nominee, so long as it owns at least 5%, but less than 18%, of the outstanding Ordinary Shares and ADRs, in the aggregate. Effective as February 16, 2021 (the “Distribution Date”), Bpifrance Participations is entitled to propose two non-executive members for election at future general meetings occurring prior to the vote on the Issuer’s annual financial statements of the fiscal year following the year in which the Distribution Date occurs, regardless of the percentage of Ordinary Shares and ADRs it owns. The Relationship Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.3 to this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Pursuant to the Relationship Agreement, Bpifrance Participations agrees not to transfer, without the permission of the Issuer, the 7,474,829 Ordinary Shares acquired on March 31, 2020 for 180 days following the Distribution Date.

 

Until the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a change of control of the Issuer and (ii) the termination of the Relationship Agreement, at any general or special meeting of the Issuer at which the election of any director that has been proposed by Bpifrance Participations pursuant to the Relationship Agreement is submitted to a vote of holders of Ordinary Shares and ADRs, TechnipFMC shall vote, or cause to be voted, all Ordinary Shares and ADRs beneficially owned by TechnipFMC in favor of the election of each such director.

 

Until the earlier of (i) the date on which Bpifrance Participations no longer maintains beneficial ownership of any outstanding Ordinary Shares and (ii) a change of control of the Issuer, at any general or special meeting of the Issuer at which the election of any director that has been proposed by TechnipFMC pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of January 7, 2021, by and between TechnipFMC and the Issuer, is submitted to a vote of holders of Ordinary Shares and ADRs, Bpifrance Participations shall vote, or cause to be voted, all Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by Bpifrance Participations in favor of the election of each such director.

 

Bpifrance Participations proposed Arnaud Caudoux and Didier Houssin for election to the Board and they were elected as non-executive directors of the Issuer, effective as of February 16, 2021.
