The figures exclude fleet personnel hired through crewing agencies as well as other agency and freelance staff for whom expenses are included within other employee benefits. Despite the restructuring of the Company, the increase in headcount is due to the ramp-up of the center located in India, supporting the Company’s Engineering, Procurement and Construction (‘EPC’) activities and fleet support for operations as well as an increase in onshore and offshore staff linked to Liza Destiny (FPSO). The departures linked to the 2020 restructuring of the Company were not all effective as per December 31, 2020.
