Luxembourg - 17 December 2021 - Subsea 7 S.A. (Oslo Børs: SUBC, ADR: SUBCY)

today announced the award of a large1 contract to Subsea Integration Alliance2

result of a strong and collaborative early engagement process with Woodside,

working with a high level of transparency and cooperation during the pre-tender

and FEED phases. It demonstrates the potential value of Subsea Integration

Alliance and its optimised and integrated offering capacity. We look forward to

working with Woodside to deliver the project successfully and safely while

maximising the client's production objectives."
