PRESS RELEASE

Paris, July 11, 2003

SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING OF JULY 11, 2003

The shareholders of Technip-Coflexip met today and approved all of the proposed resolutions which essentially concerned the merger of Coflexip into Technip-Coflexip and the change of the Group name to Technip.

Shareholders also ratified the appointment of Mr. Olivier Appert to the board of directors.

During his address to shareholders, Daniel Valot, Chairman and CEO, commented on the Group’s first half 2003 performance. Mr. Valot singled out the more than €4 billion in order intake during the first half of the year. Well over half (approximately €2.4 billion) of these new contract awards were attributed to the Group’s offshore branch. This in turn should translate into an offshore backlog of approximately €2.9 billion as of June 30, 2003, which would represent an increase of about 80% during the 2^nd quarter of 2003. The backlog for the onshore branch, which was already at a high level at the beginning of the year, continued to grow and may have reached approximately €4.6 billion as of June 30, 2003.

For full year 2003 earnings, Mr. Valot reiterated the Group’s moderate growth forecast compared to 2002, while pointing out that the fall of the dollar and other currencies against the euro adversely impacts the Group’s consolidated accounts and that certain contracts, particularly in the offshore branch, may pose some technical and weather-related risks during the second half of 2003. Given the geographical mix of sales and earnings, the full year 2003 corporate taxation rate should be higher than that of 2002.

The investment climate relating to the Group’s targeted onshore and offshore markets remains healthy, and this should favorably impact the Group’s order intake during the second half of 2003. The Group currently estimates that the consolidated backlog at year end could be between €6.5 and €7 billion compared to €5.8 billion at the end of 2002. As a consequence, and given the quality of the order intake — which is a clear indication that the combination of Technip and Coflexip is beginning to bear fruit — Mr. Valot reconfirmed that the Group should experience sustained growth in its activities and earnings in 2004 and 2005.
