Item 1.01	Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement	
On December 14, 2016, FMC Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FMCTI”), Worldwide Building Corporation S.A., a French société anonyme  (“Worldwide Building Corporation”), and Worldwide Building Corporation Limited (formerly FMC Technologies SIS Limited), a private limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales and a wholly owned subsidiary of FMCTI (“Topco”), entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”), dated as of June 14, 2016, by and among FMCTI, Worldwide Building Corporation and Topco. The Amendment provides for certain technical changes to the BCA, including certain closing mechanics and the Joinder (as defined below).
FMCTI, Worldwide Building Corporation and Topco also entered into a Joinder Agreement (the “Joinder”) with Worldwide Building Corporation US Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub”), Worldwide Building Corporation Holdings Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (“UK Holdco”), and Worldwide Building Corporation US Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“US Holdco”), whereby UK Holdco, US Holdco and Merger Sub became a party to the BCA with the same force and effect as if originally named therein.
Also on December 14, 2016, FMCTI and Topco delivered a letter (the “Waiver Letter”) to Worldwide Building Corporation waiving certain conditions of the BCA. Although certain conditions of the BCA have been waived by the parties, Topco and Worldwide Building Corporation will seek an order of the High Court of Justice of England and Wales that is conditional on the satisfaction of certain of those waived conditions (to the extent not already satisfied) relating to the listing of the Topco shares on the NYSE and Euronext Paris and the approval of the  Autorité des Marchés Financiers  of the listing prospectus.
The above descriptions are summaries that are qualified by the full text of the Amendment, the Joinder and the Waiver Letter. Copies of these documents are attached as exhibits and incorporated herein by reference.
