(3) Recommendation of Technip’s Board of Directors to be approved during the Annual General Meeting on April 28, 2011

On February 15, 2011, Technip’s Board of Directors approved the audited full year 2010 consolidated accounts. Chairman and CEO Thierry Pilenko commented: “In 2010, Technip reinforced its focus on profitable and sustainable growth. Our revenues for 2010 were at the top end of our expectations at €6.1 billion. We delivered profitability ahead of our initial goals driven by strong execution. Technip’s operating profit margin was above 10% for the second year running and we met our revised objectives, with an operating margin of 16.7% in Subsea and 6.2% in Onshore/Offshore combined.

Order intake accelerated in the second half of the year despite a challenging competitive environment. We grew our backlog by over €1 billion during the year. Our backlog at the end of the year stood at €9.2 billion, our highest since the end of 2007, while the backlog scheduled for execution beyond the current year is the highest we have had since 2006. This enables us to grow whilst meeting our objectives for diversification and risk profile.

Looking ahead to 2011, we are positive about the outlook for our industry. Oil prices and input costs are at levels which make most projects worldwide economically viable, allowing our clients to focus on growing production. This is reflected in renewed activity in the North Sea and Canada, for example. The areas supporting our structural growth - deepwater developments, refining in emerging markets, and gas production, including FLNG - remain robust. Regions such as Brazil, the Middle East and Australia show no signs of slowing down. Our clients continue to look for the best solutions for fully optimizing their assets from well to wheel, which plays to Technip’s technological strengths. Nonetheless, competition remains intense. Although we see no overall significant inflation of project costs, given inflation in some underlying raw materials this is more of a risk - for the industry and for our clients - than a year ago. New regulations and geopolitical factors - whether in the Gulf of Mexico or North Africa - also add a level of uncertainty to the outlook.

Technip’s backlog is strong as we enter 2011. The improved visibility in the last three months allows us to revise our 2011 initial view upwards. We target a Subsea margin above 15% and an Onshore/Offshore margin between 6.0% and 6.5%.

We will continue to focus on our long-term growth. We have already identified four key initiatives: initial plans for a new fabrication facility in Brazil focusing on high-end products; a new built flexlay vessel dedicated to Asian markets; expansion of our steel tube umbilical capabilities and a strategic foothold in offshore wind. Our initial capital expenditure expectations are above €400 million and we see attractive opportunities to add to this. Our balance sheet remains strong, with a good net cash position and attractive long term financing secured.

Our 2010 performance and 2011 outlook enable us to recommend that shareholders approve a dividend increase - from €1.35 per share to €1.45 per share.”

These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the anticipated results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated in the forward-looking statements include, among other things: our ability to successfully continue to originate and execute large services contracts, and construction and project risks generally; the level of production-related capital expenditure in the oil and gas industry as well as other industries; currency fluctuations; interest rate fluctuations; raw material (especially steel) as well as maritime freight price fluctuations; the timing of development of energy resources; armed conflict or political instability in the Arabian-Persian Gulf, Africa or other regions; the strength of competition; control of costs and expenses; the reduced availability of government-sponsored export financing; losses in one or more of our large contracts; U.S. legislation relating to investments in Iran or elsewhere where we seek to do business; changes in tax legislation, rules, regulation or enforcement; intensified price pressure by our competitors; severe weather conditions; our ability to successfully keep pace with technology changes; our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the evolution, interpretation and uniform application and enforcement of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), according to which we prepare our financial statements as of January 1, 2005; political and social stability in developing countries; competition; supply chain bottlenecks; the ability of our subcontractors to attract skilled labor; the fact that our operations may cause the discharge of hazardous substances, leading to significant environmental remediation costs; our ability to manage and mitigate logistical challenges due to underdeveloped infrastructure in some countries where we are performing projects.

Some of these risk factors are set forth and discussed in more detail in our Annual Report. Should one of these known or unknown risks materialize, or should our underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our future results could be adversely affected, causing these results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements.

1. As per IFRS, Earnings Per Share (diluted) are calculated by dividing profit or loss attributable to the Parent Company’s Shareholders, retreated from financial interest related to dilutive potential ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period, plus the effect of dilutive potential ordinary share related to the convertible bond, dilutive stock options and performance shares calculated according to the “Share Purchase Method” (IFRS 2), less treasury shares. In conformity with this method, anti-dilutive stock options are ignored in calculating EPS. Dilutive options are taken into account if the subscription price of the stock options plus the future IFRS 2 charge (i.e. the sum of annual charge to be recorded until the end of the stock option plan) is lower than the average market share price during the period.
