Subsea 7 announces agreement to invest in Xodus Group

Luxembourg – 20 February 2018 - Subsea 7 S.A. (Oslo Børs: SUBC, ADR: SUBCY) and Chiyoda Corporation today announced that Subsea 7 has agreed to acquire a 60% holding in Xodus Group, a leading energy consultancy, from Chiyoda. Chiyoda will retain a 40% holding as a joint venture partner.
