[1] As the calculation is deemed to reflect a share capital increase of the accounting acquirer, the FMC Technologies exchange ratio (1 share of TechnipFMC for 1 share of FMC Technologies as provided in the business combination agreement) is adjusted by dividing the FMC Technologies exchange ratio by the Technip exchange ratio (2 shares of TechnipFMC for 1 share of Technip as provided in the business combination agreement), i.e., 1 ⁄ 2 = 0.5 in order to reflect the number of shares of Technip that FMC Technologies stockholders would have received if Technip was to have issued its own shares.
