Deal rationale…stronger together

► Extending our services across the whole oil and gas value chain; offshore
and onshore upstream, midstream/LNG, refining & chemicals

► Strengthening customer relationships through consistently excellent
delivery of capital efficient solutions
► Increased scale and efficiency

A ‘combination’ where 2 + 2 = 5, 6, 7 or even more
“It was clear that we all see this proposed
deal as the combination of two great
businesses. As I reminded people, it’s not
us and you: it’s AMEC and Foster Wheeler
combining to create ‘us’. That’s why we are
using the word ‘combination’ to describe
what we aim to achieve. The new company
will not be AMEC, nor will it be Foster
Wheeler: both organisations will be
integrated into a new entity and so deliver
enhanced value. As I usually put it, 2+2 will
not equal 4 in this case, we want 2+2 =
5,6,7 or even more.”
Samir Brikho, AMEC CEO
“A compelling combination for shareholders, customers and employees”
Combining two highly skilled workforces with industry-
leading engineering and project management expertise, to
create one, integrated, collaborative company which:
• Is well positioned
- Across the oil & gas value chain, from upstream to
downstream
- Across the globe
- Diversified across markets, services and lifecycle of
customers’ assets
• Has strong and growing customer relationships
• Provides development opportunities for its employees
• Has a low risk, cash generative business model
• Can deliver $75 million+ p.a. in cost synergies
• Can create incremental growth opportunities
A COMBINATION OF AMEC AND FOSTER
WHEELER…
…POSITIONED TO FORM ONE
INTEGRATED COMPANY

AMEC and Foster Wheeler at Integration Workshop #3
(23rd July 2014)
32
Integration principles
Integration (e.g., for org, processes, policies etc.) should be sought if:
• It is needed to realise the targeted deal value drivers (overall and within each
workstream)
OR
• It is needed to maintain proper governance of the acquired company: Integration
should enable effective control of business on Day 1
OR
• It enables success of the Operating Model: chosen Operating Model will required
selected function / business unit integration
Focus on key value drivers, setting aside nice-to-have items; Don’t change
what doesn’t need to be changed
Don’t destroy value: minimize disruptions to the existing business, protect
what needs to be protected
33
What does integration success look like…
Day 1 By end
of 2014
During
2015
… for the
Business
• Base business protected (safety performance, bottom line, etc.) with ‘no surprises’ on Day 1
• New Operating model launched on January 1st then further developed; it lays out clear roles and
responsibilities and significantly accelerates the transformation to new ways of working in NewCo
• Group BD function established which improves our approach and success with: key prospects, global
accounts and delivery of Market strategies
• Cost and revenue synergies delivered according to plan; integration costs remain within budget
• Whole group collaborating successfully and effectively as an increasingly integrated company
• Integration learning captured improving our M&A capability
When to measure
(quarterly during 2015)
… for
People
• Key talent retained and proud to be working at NewCo
• NewCo attractive to new resources
• Integration smooth with no ‘falling over’
• One culture embedding as new vision, values and behaviours are embraced
… for
Customers
• Integration seamless with no detriment to service level
• Combined business benefits evident and becoming available (capabilities, geographies, expertise, etc.)
• Satisfaction increasing with NewCo’s level of service and delivery
• NewCo brand well received and gaining positive recognition in the market
… for the
Markets
• Deal closes effectively without any unnecessary delay
• Markets react well to the combination
• Combined company value greater than the sum of the two legacy companies
• Longer term strategy established which remains clear and compelling
34
Key risks to integration success
• Employees from the two legacy companies do not collaborate
effectively, or we fail to embed desired culture or behaviours
Key risks Actions to mitigate
• Ensure implementation of Operating Model and roll-out the new behaviours
• Continue rhythm on the necessary meetings / engagement sessions
• Raise and address any key issues openly
• We try to do too much on Integration leading to: a) distraction
from delivering on base businesses, with detriment to safety
performance, customers and bottom line; b) failing to deliver
on critical Integration priorities
• Continue to prioritise plans, ensuring critical items are delivered with pace
• Ensure clear allocations (FT & PT) to Integration, whilst focusing remaining resources and
efforts on the base businesses and conclude integration at the appropriate time
• Operating Model implementation is incomplete / unclear
jeopardising effective embedding of new organisation and
core business process
• Continue to communicate with and induct key stakeholders following Op Model launch
• Use implementation survey to develop actions to further embed Op Model through 2015
• Ensure that leaders in business ‘walk the talk’ on how new model should work
• Lack of transparency of plan / actual progress, therefore don’t
know if Integration is on track
• Agree plans and success factors and effectively report progress against them
• We fail to maintain compliance (especially SOX, Legal,
Commercial) whilst accelerating transition to Amec Foster
Wheeler operating model
• Continue to review plans and options (mainly Legal, Finance, Commercial) and implement
necessary mitigations across functions
• Ensure a transparent, well communicated plan in place to harmonise and roll out policies
and procedures
• Ensure effective interface with the functions, new Global Management System and the
HVEC’s and Shared Services Workstreams
• The integration journey stops when the formal integration
programme and IMO wraps-up at Conex ‘15
• Group leadership team agree 2016 continuous improvement initiatives by function.
Initiatives are monitored for effective implementation through 2016
• Market conditions continue to deteriorate • Ruthlessly pursue cost savings and revenue synergies
• Develop and implement game-changing response on HVEC’s and Shared Services
• Ensure appropriate strategy is in place, and is rigorously implemented
• We declare victory on Integration too early, failing to meet
success factors and deliver original deal thesis
• Continue to drive the integration priorities and co-ord the multi-stream interdependencies
• Transition out the workstreams effectively using the structured close-out process
35
Master Planning Session #2, 16th-17th September 2014
• Great interactions and challenges to each workstream
• Seeing the new brand content really brings the future to life
• Walking the wall helped visualise objectives, deliverables and their interdependencies
• The de-couple of Day 1 from Operating Model launch maximises the opportunity to build excitement and
manage anxiety whilst protecting the base businesses through year end
• The plan to end of year, beyond that already detailed to Day 1, is taking shape and can now be detailed also
• We continue to review, plan for and mitigate key risks

Integration Director’s pause for reflection: 3 critical factors
• CEO in all SteerCos, setting context for
change, recognising heritage, using compelling
‘combination’ language, and creating ‘urgency’
• Membership of SteerCo, long before new
Leadership Team could be published, with joint
commitment on success of Integration
• Executive sponsor for each Workstream
• Careful selection of each Workstream leader
• Sufficient diversity in IMO team membership
• Right attendance in Integration Workshops,
Master Planning & OM sessions, weekly calls
• Robust selection process for specialist advisors
• All of the above organised into an effective and
interdependent governance structure / coalition
Right people Ruthless prioritisation
• Probed and listened hard on: culture, values,
capabilities, and ways of working
• Agreed clear expectations on deal rationale, to
follow the money and achieve new vision
• Developed straightforward integration
principles, to ensure focus on critical issues
• Continuously challenged Workstreams’ scope
Rhythm
• Identified simple delivery phases: mobilisation,
Day 1 preparations, first c.100 days, Year 1
• Planned for and progressed actionable steps,
creating visibility of changes and successes
• Brought right structure to life, adjusting rhythm
of meetings / communications to suit the phase
• Built an effective team with momentum in
raising and collaboratively addressing issues
• Investing to create a repeatable model
We’re not finished yet!
