FRANK’S INTERNATIONAL N.V.

PROXY STATEMENT SUPPLEMENT

This supplement updates the proxy card furnished to certain shareholders of Frank’s International N.V. (“Frank’s”) for the 2021 annual general meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on, September 10, 2021 at 2:00 p.m., local time, at the offices of Van Campen Liem, J.J. Viottastraat 52, 1071 JT, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The original proxy card inadvertently omitted Kirkland D. Mosing as a director nominee under Proposal 9, the Re-Election Proposal with respect to the Frank’s Supervisory Board.

The enclosed, updated proxy card has been revised solely to correct Proposal 9 to include the re-election of Kirkland D. Mosing to the Frank’s Supervisory Board as Proposal 9i. Except for the foregoing revision, no other changes have been made to the proxy card and no changes have been made to the related definitive proxy statement/prospectus, which was filed by Frank’s on August 6, 2021 (the “Proxy Statement”).

Please disregard the proxy card you previously received and cast your vote for the Annual Meeting via Internet, phone or mail by following the instructions set forth on the enclosed proxy card.

If you have already cast your vote using the proxy card you previously received, voting again on the enclosed proxy card will revoke your prior vote, so please vote on all items of business on the enclosed proxy card even if you previously voted on these items.

If you have already cast your vote using the proxy card you previously received and do not vote again using the enclosed proxy card, your prior vote will be counted as set forth in the Proxy Statement and you will be deemed to have marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to Proposal 9i, the re-election of Kirkland D. Mosing to the Frank’s Supervisory Board.

This supplement should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement.

We thank you for your attention to this matter.
