About Frank's International N.V.

FRANK’S INTERNATIONAL N.V. (ticker FI) is a former U.S.-listed energy services company historically quoted on the NYSE in the United States, best known for highly engineered tubular and well-construction solutions for the oil and gas industry. The company was founded in 1938 and built its franchise around tubular running services, tubular fabrication, and specialty well construction and well intervention offerings. In its SEC disclosures, Frank’s described itself as a global provider focused on complex, technically demanding wells, serving exploration and production customers in both offshore and onshore environments. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1575828/000157582820000007/a12312019-documentfy19.htm?utm_source=openai)) From an operating standpoint, the business was positioned in a technical niche rather than in broad upstream drilling equipment. Its core lines of business included handling and installing tubulars to establish cased wellbores, providing smaller-diameter pipe inside those wells, and delivering specialized services tied to completions, fabrication, and well intervention. That mix gave Frank’s exposure to mission-critical, high-specification projects where execution quality, safety, and the ability to work in harsh offshore conditions mattered more than pure volume. The company emphasized relationships with leading exploration and production firms, reinforcing its status as a specialist supplier to the upstream energy sector.

Although its securities were traded in the United States, the company was organized under Dutch law and disclosed operational addresses in the Netherlands, including Den Helder and Amsterdam. That structure reflected a global energy-services platform with cross-border operations rather than a domestic-only U.S. industrial.

The transaction was announced in March 2021 and completed on October 1, 2021; the combined company was renamed Expro Group Holdings N.V. and began trading on the NYSE under the ticker XPRO on October 4, 2021. For investors, this is critical context: Frank’s International as a standalone listed equity effectively ceased to exist as an independent public company after the merger, and later disclosures primarily concern the combined Expro platform and post-merger integration. Expro has since noted that integration of the legacy Frank’s and legacy Expro businesses continued through 2022 and was substantially completed thereafter.

For French-, Belgian-, and Swiss-based investors reading SEC Form 4 insider activity, it is important to recognize that the current market context is the post-merger Expro structure, not an independent Frank’s International listing.
