 Insider trading and stock tipping  During our work, we sometimes learn information about Technip Energies, our customers, subcontractors, or suppliers that has not yet been made public. If we were to make stock transactions based on this “material information” before it is disclosed to all investors, we would have an unfair advantage.Using non-public material information for your personal benefit (including stock market transactions) is called “insider trading.” Passing non-public material information along to others, even family members, so that they may use the information for personal gain is called “stock tipping.” These practices erode investor confidence and violate this Code and the law.  AlwaysKeep all non-public material information about Technip Energies confidential.Treat all non-public material information about our customers and suppliers with the same degree of confidentiality you would give Technip Energies’ information.Respect all “blackout notices” that prohibit buying or selling Technip Energies stock during certain periods.  NeverConduct stock transactions based on non-public material information.Pass along non-public material information to others, or procure any form of Technip Energies securities based on non-public material information.                Our Code of Business Conduct  38 
 

   How do I know if information is material or not?Information is considered “material” if a reasonable investor would consider that information important in making a decision to buy, hold, or sell stocks.Examples of material information include projections of future earnings, loss of a significant project, or other sensitive business plans or strategies.Any information that could be expected to affect Technip Energies’ stock price, whether positively or negatively, should be considered “material” and not be shared with anyone.  Good to know  39  Protecting assets and information
