1 GTT Overview 4
GTT in brief An engineering company with more than 50 years of experience in the design of the Membrane Cargo Containment Systems GTT is a public company listed on the Paris Stock Exchange A core shareholder, Engie (40,1%) and Temasek (10,4%) Independent directors guarantee an autonomous governance of the company More than 100 projects (1) (LNGC, VLEC, FSRU, FLNG, GST and LNG as a fuel ) currently on order Roughly 400 highly qualified people (1) focusing on addressing new market requirements, such as : Low BOR systems (particularly for spot) Intermediate filling levels (particularly for offshore) Small scale LNG Carriers (for retail LNG) LNG as fuel tanks Multigas vessels Large and flexible onshore storage tanks GTT North America subsidiary located at 3 Riverway, Suite 1140, Houston, TX 77056 (1) As of September 30 th, 2014 5
GTT remains the reference provider of LNG transport and storage solutions Global leader in LNG containment technologies (85%+ of 2008-2014 LNGC orders) With a broad exposure across the LNG shipping and storage value chain E&P Liquefaction Shipping LNG FPSO Onshore storage liquefaction plant LNGC FSRU Regasification Onshore storage regasification terminal Off Take / Consumption 6

LNG containment systems deployment over the history 1) European Shipyards: From 1964 : Birth of membrane and Moss systems 4) Korean shipyards: Mid 90 s : arrival of membrane and Moss technologies ; quick predominance of membrane 3) Japanese shipyards Moss, membrane development SPB birth 2) American shipyards: End of 70 s : a quick passage stopped by the freeze of LNG development in USA 6) Returning to US & Canada 5) Chinese shipyards Mid 2000 s : membrane only 8

2 Tank technology options and key parameters for safe and cost effective solutions 12
Land storage tank options Non Full Integrity storage types Full Integrity storage types (safest designs) Single containment Double containment 9%Ni Full Containment GST Membrane Full Integrity Largest footprint Easiest and fastest to built In case of failure, LNG is contained by a dyke In case of failure, LNG is contained by the secondary wall Membrane tanks and 9%Ni are the safest Membrane tanks offer flexibility Multiple configurations can be envisioned Other benefits are also achievable Evolution of the double Containment In case of failure, both LNG and NG are contained by the concrete walls Above-ground Semi-buried Typical configurations Most compact & economical design In case of failure, both LNG and NG are contained by the concrete walls Inground Cryogenic cavern 13
Key parameters to consider cost effective LNG tank construction 1. Develop safest technical solution as per national and province regulation 2. Develop optimize tank sizing 3. Optimize prefabrication and consider technologies favorable for local workmanship 14
1.Develop safest technical solution as per national and province regulation Curent LNG Standards in Canada: CSA Z276 2015 edition BCOGC regulation July 2014 update Main change Inclusion of Membrane Full Integrity tank system as per International Standards 15
2. Optimize tank sizing With small diameter or height increase significant volume increase! CAPEX scaling effect apply on LNG tank 16
2. Develop storage with limited footprint 3x160,000m³ 9%Ni Full Containment Vs 2x240,000m³ Membrane Full Integrity Total 9%Ni case Total Membrane case Quantity saved Foot print 33,500m² 23,500m² 10,000m² Insulation surface 60,000m² 50,000m² 10,000m² Dead Stock 39,000m³ 29,000m³ 10,000m³ Direct Labor hours 1,400,000h 900,000h 500,000h 17
Case study : Typical design for 30 000 m 3 Either increase the tank net capacity (by 22%) Or reduce land footprint and height visibility 9% Ni Full Containment Membrane Full Integrity 18
Evaluate hydrotest exemption Hydrotest is key test for self supported steel structure, but not in Membrane Canadian Standard CSA Z276 allows exemption for hydrotest on Membrane Full Integrity tanks provided : Soil are SA and SB (Hard rock or Rock soil types) Unless required by AHJ Savings: 4 to 6 weeks schedule saving Environmental friendly (No water handling/cleaning issues) 19
3 : Encourage Modularization Standard and light components whatever the tank capacity. TIG lap welding, no added filler metal. One welding pass. 85% Auto Complete tank installation modularized and to be installed by local workmanship 20
Modular for all sizes, all shapes.. In Pit solutions Above ground Solutions GTT Membrane Gravity Base Structure (GBS) Multi functions storage 21
Case of remote LNG infrastructure area Tanks farm Single tank Reduced footprint, cost effective, no risk of BLEVE, limited process piping & more local content! 22
Storage capacity (cbm) A segmented product to store LNG for «Canadian made» tank 1K 5 K 10 K 30 K 300 K+ SOT (Small Onshore Tanks) Metallic or concrete envelope, (Full or Single integrity) Cylindrical flat bottom Metallic or concrete envelope, (Full or Single integrity) GST Concrete with polygonal inner face (Full integrity) 23
In summary Membrane is a credible & viable option Streamlined & optimized technology, with upside potential Referenced in the latest International Standards Can be easily considered for small & big scale Favorable for local labor Reduced footprint & carbon footprint Cost & schedule savings Generalized through licensed contractors & several Canadian contractors ready to offer Membrane tank installation Make in Canada : Yes, we can! 24
