Company employees said that the separation would improve the focus of both RemainCo and SpinCo on their respective strategies and provide greater flexibility and growth opportunities.
The decision comes two years after the merger of Technip, based in Paris, and FMC Technologies, based in Houston.
The separation is expected to be completed in the first half of 2020, subject to customary conditions, consultations, and regulatory approvals, at which point all outstanding shares of SpinCo will be distributed to existing TechnipFMC shareholders.
The merger of Technip SA and FMC Technologies Inc. in 2017 established TechnipFMC as the only fully integrated subsea provider, the company said in a press release.
Doug Pferdehirt, President and CEO of TechnipFMC, said: “Since the formation of TechnipFMC, we have been pioneers in the integrated business model for subsea projects and have transformed the project economics of our clients. To further enhance value creation, our board of directors and management team have continuously assessed strategic options and, after a comprehensive analysis, determined that it is in the best interest of TechnipFMC and all our shareholders to create two purely diversified leaders. We are confident that the separation would allow both companies to thrive independently within their sectors, enabling each to unlock significant additional value.”
