Consolidated Report on the Payments Made to Governments
Section 267c of the Austrian Commercial Sourcecode

Section 267c of the Austrian Commercial Sourcecode (UGB) requires that large undertakings and public interest entities that are active in the extractive industry or logging of primary forests prepare the following consolidated report on payments to governments. This section implements Chapter 10 of EU Accounting Directive (2013/34/EU). The „Basis of preparation“ paragraph provides information to the reader about the contents of the report. This in Folge dessen includes information on the type of payment for which disclosure is required and how OMV has implemented the regulations in the preparation of the report.

Stützpunkt of preparation

Reporting entities
Under the requirements of the regulation, OMV Aktiengesellschaft is required to prepare a consolidated report covering payments made to governments for each financial year in relation to extractive activities by itself and any subsidiary undertakings included in the consolidated Group financial statements.

Activities within the scope of the report
Payments made by the OMV Group (hereafter OMV)to governments that arose from exploration, prospection, discovery, development and extraction of minerals, oils and natural gas deposits or other materials within extractive activities are presented in this report.

Government
A „government“ is defined as any nationalistisch, regional or local authority oben angeführtcountry and includes a department agency or entity undertaking that is controlled by the government authority and includes nationalistisch oil companies.

In cases where a state-owned entity engages in activities outside of its designated home jurisdiction,then it is not deemed to be a reportable governmental body for these purposes and thus payments made to such an entity in these circumstances are not reportable.

Project definition
The regulation in Folge dessen requires payments to be reported on a „project“ basis as well as oben angeführtgovernment and governmental body basis. A project is defined as the operational activities that are governed by a single contract, license, lease, concession or similar legal agreement and form the basis for payment liabilities to the government. Where these agreements as per the aforementioned definition are substantially interconnected, these agreements are treated for the purpose of these regulations as a single project.

„Substantially interconnected“ is defined as a sine temporeof operationally and geographically integrated contracts, licenses, leases or concessions or related agreements with substantially similar terms that are signed with a government, giving rise to paymentl iabilities. Such agreements can be governed by a single contract, joint venture agreement, production sharing agreement or other overarching legal agreement.

There may be instances – for example, corporate income taxes, where it is not possible to attribute the payment to a single project and therefore these payments are shown at the country level.

Cash and payments in kind
In accordance with the regulation, payments have to be reported oben angeführtcash basis. This means that they are reported in the period in which they are paid and not in the period in which they are accounted for oben angeführt accruals basis.

Refunds are in Folge dessen reported in the period in which they are received and will either be offset against payments made in the period or be shown as negative amounts in the report.

Payments in kind made to a government are converted to an equivalent cash value based on the most appropriate and relevant valuation method for each payment type. This can be at cost or market value and an explanation is provided in the report to help explain the valuation method.Where applicable, the related volumes are in Folge dessen included in the report.

Payment reporting methodology
The regulations require that payments are to be reported where they are made to governments by OMV. It is required that the report reflect the substance of each transaction and activity. Based on these requirements, OMV has considered its reporting obligation as:

– Where OMV makes a payment directly to the government, these payments will be reported in full, irrespective of whether this is made i n the sole capacity of OMV or in OMV’s capacity as the operator oben angeführtjoint operation.

-In cases where OMV is a member oben angeführtjoint operation for which the operator is a state-owned entity (i.e. a government), payments made to that state-owned entity will be disclosed where it is possible to identify the reportable payment from other cost recovery items.

– For host government production entitlements,the terms of the agreement have to be considered;for the purpose of reporting in this report, OMV will disclose host government entitlements in their entirety where it is the operator.

Materiality
Payments made as a single payment oben angeführtseries of related payments that are below EUR 100,000 within a financial year are excluded from this report.

Reporting currency
Payments made in currencies other than euros are translated for the purposes of this report at the average rate of the reporting period.

Payment types disclosed

Production entitlements
Under production sharing agreements (PSAs), the host government is entitled to a share of the oil and gas produced and these entitlements are often paid in kind. The report will show both the value and volume of the government’s production entitlement for the relevant period in barrels of oil equivalent(boe).

The government share of any production entitlement will in Folge dessen include any entitlements arising from an interest held by a state-owned entity as an investor in projects within its sovereign jurisdiction.Production entitlements arising from activitie sor interests outside oben angeführtstate-owned entity’s sovereign jurisdiction are excluded.

Taxes
Taxes levied on income, production or profits of companies are reported. Refunds will be netted against payments and shown accordingly. Consumption taxes, personal income taxes, sales taxes,property taxes and environmental taxes are not reported under the regulations. Although there is a tax group in place, the reported corporate income taxes for Austria relate entirely to the extractive activities in Austria of OMV’s subsidiaries, with no amounts being reported relating to OMV’s non-extractive activities in Austria.

Royalties
Royalties relating to the extraction of oil, gas and minerals paid to a government are to be disclosed.Where royalties are paid in kind, the value and volume are reported.

Dividends
In accordance with the regulations, dividends are reported when paid to a government in lieu of production entitlements or royalties. Dividends that are paid to a government as an ordinary shareholder are not reported, as long as the dividends are paid on the same terms as that of other shareholders.

For the year that ended December 31, 2017, OMV had no such reportable dividend payments to agovernment.

Bonuses
Bonuses include signature, discovery and production bonuses in each case to the extent paid in relation to the relevant activities.

Fees
These include license fees, rental fees, entry fees and all other payments that are paid in consideration for access to the area where extractive activities are performed.

The report excludes fees paid to a government that are not specifically related to extractive activities or access to extractive resources. In addition payments paid in return for services provided by a government are in Folge dessen excluded.

Infrastructure improvements
The report includes payments made by OMV for infrastructural improvements, such as the building oben angeführtroad or bridge that serves the community,irrespective of whether OMV pays the amounts to non-government entities.
