Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D previously filed by the Reporting Persons (as defined below) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 9, 2021, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 filed on May 15, 2021 (the “Original Schedule 13D” and, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 and this Amendment No. 2, the “Schedule 13D”). This Schedule 13D relates to the ordinary shares, €0.01 nominal value per share (“Ordinary Shares”), of Technip Energies N.V., a public limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands (the “Issuer”).

This Amendment No. 2 amends and restates Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D in its entirety as follows:

 

This Schedule 13D is filed jointly by (i) Bpifrance Participations S.A., a société anonyme incorporated under the laws of the Republic of France (“Bpifrance Participations”), (ii) the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations, a French special public entity (établissement special) (“CDC”), (iii) EPIC Bpifrance, a French public institution of industrial and commercial nature (“EPIC”), and (iv) Bpifrance S.A.

As of the date hereof, (i) Bpifrance Participations holds directly 16,022,820 Ordinary Shares and (ii) CDC holds directly 228,847 Ordinary Shares. As of the date hereof, neither Bpifrance S.A. nor EPIC holds any Ordinary Shares directly. Bpifrance S.A. may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 16,022,820 Ordinary Shares, indirectly through its sole ownership of Bpifrance Participations. CDC and EPIC may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 16,022,820 Ordinary Shares, indirectly through their joint ownership and control of Bpifrance S.A.
