Subsea 7 S.A. 412F, Route d'Esch L-2086 Luxembourg www.subsea7.com

12 March 2021

Dear Shareholders,

On Wednesday 14 April 2021, the Annual General Meeting (the "AGM") and also an Extraordinary General Meeting (the "EGM") of the Shareholders of Subsea 7 S.A., (the "Company"), RCS Luxembourg N° B43172, will be held at the registered office of the Company, 412F, route d'Esch, L-2086 Luxembourg. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, both the AGM and the EGM will be held without the shareholders' physical presence, as permitted under the Luxembourg law dated 23 September 2020 on measures concerning the holding of meetings in companies and other legal entities, as amended. The AGM will be held at 15:00 hours (local time) and the EGM will be held immediately thereafter.

Due to the fact that the Company is incorporated in Luxembourg as a Société Anonyme, the Company's affairs are governed by the provisions of Luxembourg Company Law. Under these provisions and the provisions of the Company's articles of association, the AGM and EGM will be restricted to the matters set out in the enclosed Notice.

Matters to be considered at the AGM

Firstly, in reflection of the Board of Director's confidence in the financial position and outlook of the Group, the Board of Directors recommends that a special dividend of NOK 2.00 per common share be paid, equating to a total dividend of approximately USD 70 million.

This year's AGM agenda includes two items with respect to the appointment to the Board of Directors of two directors standing for re-election, Mr Dod Fraser and myself.

In addition, The Board of Directors also recommends a new director, Mr Eldar Sætre, as a candidate for appointment as independent non-executive director of the Company, and if elected with effect from 1st June 2021, looks forward to working with him.

The biographies of the relevant directors and Mr Sætre are attached to this letter in the Appendix.

Registered Office: 412F, Route d'Esch L-2086 Luxembourg R.C.S. Luxembourg B 43172

Matters to be considered at the EGM

The EGM is required in order to consider (1) the renewal of the authorised share capital of the Company (ii) the renewal of the authority of the Board of Directors to repurchase and subsequently cancel the shares of the Company, and (iii) proposed amendments to the Company's articles of association, as more specifically set forth in the enclosed Notice and below.

1. Renewal of Authorised Share Capital

Shareholders are reminded that at present the authorised share capital of the Company is comprised of 450,000,000 common shares, out of which 300,000,000 shares are issued common shares and 150,000,000 shares are authorised but unissued common shares. Shareholders have also authorised the Board to the extent it deems advisable, to suppress Shareholders' pre-emptive subscription rights in respect of the issuance of authorised Common Shares of the Company for cash within the limit of the authorised unissued share capital for a maximum of 32,736,711 Common Shares (representing 10% of the issued capital as at 28 February 2018), for a three (3) year period from the date of publication of the Minutes of the 2018 EGM.

The Board is therefore seeking shareholder approval to re-instate for a period of two years, the authorised share capital of the Company and set it at USD 900,000,000 represented by 450,000,000 common shares, par value USD 2.00, consisting of 150,000,000 authorised unissued common shares and 300,000,000 issued common shares.

Within the limit of such authorised unissued share capital, the Board is also seeking authority for the same three year period, to issue up to 30,000,000 new shares (representing 10% of the issued share capital as at 28 February, 2021) whilst limiting or suspending existing shareholders preferential subscription rights and has prepared a report in accordance with article 420-26(5) of Luxembourg company law. Both authorities will require an amendment to the articles of association as set out in the enclosed Notice and below.

2. Renewal of the authority of the Board of Directors to repurchase and subsequently cancel Company shares.

The current authority for the Board of Directors to carry out share repurchases was granted at an extraordinary general meeting taking place on 17 April 2019 and is valid for purchases completed on or before 17 April 2021 and includes authorisation to cancel such repurchased shares.

The Board of Directors is therefore seeking approval to renew, for a period of two years starting at the date of the EGM, its existing authority to repurchase up to 10% of the issued share capital and to cancel such repurchased shares.

3. Amendments to the Company's Articles of Association.

The proposed changes to the Company's articles of association are summarised below and their effect is primarily to simplify administrative procedures. These changes are, we believe, in shareholders' interests.

Article Proposed change

Para (1)
An amendment to the wording setting out the objects of the Company to expressly
highlight that the Company's purpose is to provide services to the energy sector as
a whole, as indicated by the changes made in italics and bold:

provide subsea construction, maintenance, inspection, survey and engineering
services, in particular for the offshore oil and gas and energy related industries."
3
Para (4)
An amendment to the wording setting out the Company's permitted activities to
expressly provide that the Company can provide assistance including, without

"More generally, the Company may participate in any manner in all commercial,
industrial, financial and other enterprises of Luxembourg or foreign nationality
through the acquisition by participation, subscription, purchase, option or by any
other means of all shares, stocks, debentures, bonds or securities; the acquisition
of patents and licenses which it will administer and exploit; it may lend or borrow
with or without security, provided that any monies so borrowed may only be used
for the purposes of the Company, or companies which are subsidiaries of or
associated with or affiliated to the Company; it may grant assistance, including,
without limitation, grant parent company guarantees to any affiliated
company and take any measure for the control and supervision of such

the Company.

issued by the Company do not have the right to attend general meetings
of shareholders."
16
Para (2)
An update to the rules regarding the issuance of board extracts in order to
streamline administrative procedures, by the addition of the language shown in
italics and bold:
"Copies of or extracts from such minutes or of resolutions signed by all members
of the Board shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or by the
Managing Director (if there is one) or by the Company Secretary (if there is
one) or by two Directors."

Quorum and Majority

At the AGM, since under Luxembourg law there is no minimum quorum requirement, decisions taken shall be valid regardless of the number of shares represented, provided there is approval by the majority of the votes of the shareholders validly cast.

The EGM shall validly deliberate on its agenda provided a quorum of 50% of the issued share capital of the Company represented. If a quorum is not achieved, a second extraordinary general meeting of shareholders may be called with the same agenda, at which there would be no quorum requirement. Resolutions concerning the agenda of the EGM shall be adopted by a majority of two-thirds of the votes validly cast.

General Matters

Holders of Common Shares and American Depositary Receipts on record at the close of business on 1 March 2021 will be entitled to vote at both the AGM and EGM. The deadline for submission of votes for holders of American Depositary Shares is 5 April 2021 and for holders of Common Shares is 9 April 2021.
