7. 1. As the authorized capital granted by the Annual General Meeting on May 13, 2009 expired on May 13, 2014, the Annual General Meeting decided upon a new authorized capital on May 14, 2014. Specifically, it authorized the Executive Board until May 14, 2019 to increase the share capital of OMV with the consent of the Supervisory Board – at once or in several tranches – by an amount of up to EUR 32,727,272 by issuing up to 32,727,272 new no-par value common voting shares in bearer form in return for contributions in cash. The capital increase can also be implemented by way of indirect offer for subscription after taking over by one or several credit institutions according to Section 153 Paragraph 6 Stock Corporation Act. The issue price and the conditions of issuance can be determined by the Executive Board with the consent of the Supervisory Board. The Annual General Meeting also authorized the Executive Board, subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board, to exclude the subscription right of the shareholders if the capital increase serves to
   1. adjust fractional amounts or
   2. satisfy stock options or long term incentive plans (including matching share plans for employees, senior employees and members of the Executive Board/management boards of the Company or one of its affiliates), or other employees’ stock ownership plans.
      In addition, the Supervisory Board was authorized to adopt amendments to the Articles of Association resulting from the issuance of shares according to the authorized capital.
   2. On May 18, 2016, the Annual General Meeting authorized the Executive Board for a period of five years from the adoption of the resolution, therefore, until (and including) May 17, 2021, upon approval of the Supervisory Board, to dispose of or utilize stock repurchased or already held by the Company to grant treasury shares to employees, senior employees and/or members of the Executive Board/management boards of the Company or one of its affiliates, including for purposes of share transfer programs – in particular, long-term incentive plans including matching share plans or other stock ownership plans – under exclusion of the general purchasing possibility of shareholders (exclusion of subscription rights). The authorization can be exercised as a whole or in parts or even in several tranches by the Company, by a subsidiary (section 189a, number 7, of the Austrian Commercial Code) or by third parties for the account of the Company.
   3. On May 14, 2019 the Annual General Meeting authorized the Executive Board to repurchase bearer shares of no par value of the Company up to a maximum of 5% of the Company’s nominal capital in accordance with section 65 (1) (8) Austrian Stock Corporation Act, over a period of 15 months from the date of adoption of the resolution by the General Meeting, for a minimum consideration per share being at the utmost 30% lower than the average, unweighted stock exchange closing price over the preceding ten trading days and a maximum consideration per share being at the utmost 20% higher than the average, unweighted stock exchange closing price over the preceding ten trading days, whereby any repurchases have to be exercised in such a way that the Company does not hold more than 1,300,000 treasury shares at any time. Such repurchases may take place via the stock exchange or a public offering or by other legal means and for the purpose of share transfer programs, in particular Long Term Incentive Plans including Matching Share Plans, Equity Deferrals or other stock ownership plans. The Executive Board was further authorized to cancel stock repurchased or already held by the Company without further resolution of the General Meeting and the Supervisory Board was authorized to adopt amendments to the Articles of Association resulting from the cancellation of shares. The authorization can be exercised as a whole or in parts and also in several tranches by the Company, by a subsidiary (Section 189a Number 7 Commercial Code) or by third parties for the account of the Company and shall be exercised always in such a manner that it is to the benefit and in the best interest of the Company.
8. OMV has issued perpetual hybrid notes in the amount of EUR 2,000 mn which are subordinated to all other creditors. According to IFRS, the net proceeds of the hybrid notes in the amount of EUR 1,987 mn are fully treated as equity because the repayment of the principal and the payments of interest are solely at the discretion of OMV. On December 7, 2015, OMV issued hybrid notes with an aggregate size of EUR 1,500 mn, in two tranches of EUR 750 mn each with the following interest payable:
   1. The hybrid notes of tranche 1 bear a fixed interest rate of 5.250% until, but excluding, December 9, 2021, which is the first call date of tranche 1. From December 9, 2021, until, but excluding, December 9, 2025, hybrid notes of tranche 1 will bear interest according to a reset interest rate to be determined according to the relevant five-year swap rate and an additional margin of 4.942% and, from December 9, 2025, with an additional step-up of 1% per annum.
   2. The hybrid notes of tranche 2 bear a fixed interest rate of 6.250% until, but excluding, December 9, 2025, which is the first call date of tranche 2. From December 9, 2025, tranche 2 will bear interest according to a reset interest rate to be determined according to the relevant five-year swap rate and an additional margin of 5.409%, with an additional step-up of 1% per annum.
      Interest is due and payable annually in arrears on December 9 of each year, unless OMV elects to defer the relevant interest payments. The outstanding deferred interest must be paid under certain circumstances, in particular, if the General Meeting of OMV resolves upon a dividend payment on OMV shares.
   On June 19, 2018 OMV issued a hybrid bond with a size of EUR 500 mn. The hybrid bears a fixed interest rate of 2.875% until, but excluding, June 19, 2024. From June 19, 2024 until, but excluding, June 19, 2028 the hybrid notes will bear interest at a rate according to the relevant five-year swap rate and an additional margin of 2.335% per annum and, from June 19, 2028, with an additional step-up of 1% per annum. Interest is due and payable annually in arrears on June 19 of each year, unless OMV elects to defer the relevant interest payments. The outstanding deferred interest must be paid under certain circumstances, in particular, if the General Meeting of OMV resolves upon a dividend payment on OMV shares.
   The hybrid notes outstanding as of December 31, 2019 do not have a scheduled maturity date and they may be redeemed at the option of OMV under certain circumstances. OMV has, in particular, the right to repay the hybrid notes at certain call dates. Any accrued unpaid interest becomes payable when the bond is redeemed. In the case of a change of control, OMV may call the hybrid notes for redemption or else the applicable interest rate will be subject to an increase according to the terms and conditions of the hybrid notes.
9. The material financing agreements to which OMV is a party and bonds issued by OMV contain typical change of control clauses.
10. There are no agreements between the Company and members of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board or employees regarding the payment of compensation in the event of a public takeover bid.
11. The most important elements of the internal control and risk management system regarding the accounting process are the following: Governance for the internal control system is defined by internal corporate regulations (ICS Directive and its Annexes). Corporate Internal Audit controls the compliance with these principles and requirements through regular audits, based on the annual audit plan approved by the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board, or through ad hoc audits.
    The results of those audits are presented to the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board. For the main “end-to-end” processes (e.g. purchase-to-pay, order-to-cash), Group-wide Minimum Control Requirements are defined. Based on a defined time plan, the implementation and the effectiveness are being monitored. The establishment of Group-wide standards for the preparation of annual and interim financial statements by means of the corporate IFRS Accounting Manual is also regulated by an internal corporate regulation. The Group uses a comprehensive risk management system. The essential processes of the financial reporting system have been identified and analyzed. In addition, the effectiveness of the risk management system is regularly evaluated by external auditors. The results of the evaluation are reported to the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board.
12. In accordance with section 267a (6) of the Commercial Code, a separate consolidated non-financial report will be issued.
