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

18 March 2022

Dear Shareholders,

On Tuesday 12 April 2022, 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 Incorporation, the AGM and EGM will be restricted to the matters set out in the enclosed Notice.

Matters to be considered at the AGM

At the AGM, marking confidence in the financial position and outlook of the Subsea 7 Group, the Board of Directors will recommend to shareholders that a dividend of NOK 1.00 per share be paid. In addition, it will be recommended that shareholders approve the re-election of Mr David Mullen, Mr Niels Kirk and Mr Jean Cahuzac to the Board of Directors. Their biographies are attached to this letter in Appendix 1.

Furthermore, in order to continue to retain and incentivise the Company's senior management, the Board of Directors is requesting shareholder approval to adopt a new Long Term Incentive Plan (the "2022 LTIP"). The proposed 2022 LTIP contains performance conditions utilised in the existing plan including Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and Return on Average Invested Capital (ROAIC), and also the addition of a new performance measure, a Cash Conversion Ratio. The proposed 2022 LTIP provides for whole share awards, which will vest over a three to five year period subject to these stringent performance conditions. The proposed 2022 LTIP retains the same limits as the current plan with the maximum number of shares that would be available for issuance over the five year term being limited to 11,500,000 common shares and the aggregate number of shares being limited to 0.5% of the issued share capital as well as maintaining the same holding requirements for top management. The 2022 LTIP would cover approximately 150 senior managers and key employees and, in making this proposal, the

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

Board of Directors believes that executive and management compensation are aligned with shareholder interests. Further details of the 2022 LTIP can be found in Appendix 2 to this letter.

Finally, the AGM agenda contains standard items for consideration by shareholders including the approval of the Group's Annual Report and consolidated financial statements, approval of the Company's annual accounts, the discharge of the Directors from their duties for the financial year and the approval of the statutory auditor's appointment.

Matters to be considered at the EGM

At the EGM the Board of Directors will recommend that shareholders approve (1) the dematerialisation of the Company's shares and the necessary amendments to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to permit such dematerialisation and (2) amendments to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company necessary for alignment with the requirements of the Shareholder Rights Directive II.

1. Dematerialisation of the Company's Shares

Following the implementation of the Central Securities Depositaries Regulation ((EU) 909/2014) ("CSDR") into Norwegian law on 1 March 2022, the Company is required to convert its shares from registered form to dematerialised form by 31 December 2022 in order for its shares to continue trading on the Oslo Stock Exchange. To effect this change, it will first be necessary for the Company to amend its Articles of Incorporation to permit the compulsory conversion of its shares from registered form to dematerialised form and for shareholders to grant power to the Board of Directors to determine the effective date of such compulsory dematerialisation.

2. Shareholder Rights Directive II

The Company will, going forward, be subject to the Shareholder Rights Directive II ((EU) 2017/828) ("SRD II"). In anticipation thereof, it will be proposed that shareholders approve amendments to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to align with SRD II requirements. The proposed amendments mainly concern the convening notice formalities for general meetings as well as the record date and the access to general meeting materials and it is proposed that these changes will take effect simultaneously with the compulsory conversion of the Company's shares from registered form to dematerialised form.

The proposed changes to the Company's Articles of Incorporation are available on the Company's website at www.subsea7.com. These changes are, we believe, in shareholders' interests.

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 is 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 7 March 2022 will be entitled to vote at both the AGM and EGM. The deadline for submission of votes for holders of American Depositary Shares is 1 April 2022 and for holders of Common Shares is 6 April 2022.

Enclosed with this mailing are the Notice of Annual General Meeting and Extraordinary General Meeting and Proxy Cards. The 2021 statutory and consolidated financial statements of Subsea 7 S.A. including the Report of the Board of Directors and Authorised Statutory Auditor's Reports, a full copy of the rules of the proposed 2022 LTIP as well as the full text of the proposed amended Articles of Incorporation are available on the Company's website at www.subsea7.com.

If you want to cast your vote at the AGM and/or EGM, please promptly sign, date and return the enclosed Proxy Cards to ensure that it will be received in time.

If you require further information or clarification on the above, please contact our Investor Relations team at [email protected].

Yours sincerely

Appendix 2

2022 Annual General Meeting

Summary of Subsea 7 S.A. 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (''2022 LTIP'')

In order to continue to retain and incentivise the Company senior management population it is proposed that the AGM approves the adoption of an updated Long Term Incentive Plan based upon the existing plan approved by shareholders in 2018.

The 2022 LTIP provides for whole share awards which will vest over a three to five year period, subject to stringent performance conditions, and would cover approximately 150 senior managers and key employees. The proposed 2022 LTIP retains the same limits as the current plan with the key elements as follows:

  • The maximum number of shares that would be available for issuance over the five year term is limited to 11,500,000 common shares.
  • The aggregate number of shares subject to all awards granted in any calendar year is limited to 0.5% of the issued share capital.
  • The holding requirements for top management are maintained such that senior executives must hold 50% of all awards that vest until they have built up a shareholding of 1.5 x salary.
  • The limits for individual awards being maintained at no more than 1.5 x salary for senior executives and 1.0 x salary for all other employees.
  • All awards are subject to stringent performance conditions.

The performance measures in the 2022 LTIP are relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR), Return on Average Invested Capital (ROAIC) and a Cash Conversion Ratio. All awards will be subject to a relative weighting such that the number of shares attributable to the TSR Performance Measure will be 65%, the number of shares attributable to the ROAIC Performance Measure will be 15% and the number of shares attributable to the Cash Conversion Ratio will be 20%.

TSR is measured against a relevant comparator group of 14 companies and Subsea 7 would have to deliver TSR above the median for any attributable shares to vest, and the maximum would only be achieved if Subsea 7 achieved top decile TSR.

ROAIC is measured by the average ROAIC achieved over each of t h e three years of the performance period such that Subsea 7 would need to achieve 9% for any attributable shares to vest, and the maximum would only be achieved if Subsea 7 achieved an average ROAIC of at least 14% over the 3 year performance period.

Cash Conversion is measured by the average Cash Conversion achieved over each of the three years of the performance period such that Subsea 7 would need to achieve a 0.7 Cash Conversion Ratio for any attributable shares to vest, and the maximum would only be achieved if Subsea 7 achieved an average Cash Conversion Ratio of at least 1.1 over the 3 year performance period.

A full copy of the rules of the proposed 2022 LTIP can be found on our website at: www.subsea7.com and can also be obtained from the Company Secretary at the registered office of the Company, 412F, route d'Esch, L-2086, Luxembourg.
