OMV / oil / gas / energy / / debt / Eurobond

31.03.2009

- OMV has today issued its debut Eurobond transaction with a volume
of EUR 750 mn and a maturity of 5 years - OMV is currently rated by
Moody's Investors Service with "A3 (stable)" and by FitchRatings with
"A- (stable)" - Austrian retail investors can subscribe the 6.25% OMV
bonds from April 2 to 3

OMV Aktiengesellschaft, the leading energy group in Central Europe,
today priced its inaugural Eurobond transaction. The bonds are issued
out of OMV's new EUR 3 bn Euro Medium Term Note Program (EMTN). The
bond issue improves the debt structure of the Group.

The EMTN program is a funding program, which allows OMV to issue debt
in the Euromarkets on a regular or continuous basis. Each issue is a
drawdown from the EMTN program. OMV is not obliged to issue and free
to use the program at any time. The program offers flexibility
regarding volume, maturity and structure of each issue.

Recently, OMV conducted a European roadshow, visiting Vienna,
Frankfurt, London and Paris to meet with fixed-income investors. OMV
is rated A3 and A- from both Moody's and Fitch respectively, thereby
establishing OMV as a high-quality corporate issuer.

With this first transaction issued out of its EMTN program, OMV has
established itself in the international bond markets. The bonds have
a volume of EUR 750 mn, a denomination of EUR 1,000, a coupon of
6.25% and are maturing on April 7, 2014. The order book was well
oversubscribed and the transaction priced at 370 bps over mid-swaps.
Use of proceeds is for refinancing existing indebtedness and extends
the maturity of debt, therefore optimizing OMV´s debt structure. OMV
has applied for listings in Luxembourg and Vienna.

The sale of the bonds to Austrian retail investors is planned for
April 2 to 3. Retail investors in Austria can subscribe the bonds in
the domestic branches of Austrian banks.

Barclays Capital, Erste Group, Société Générale and J.P. Morgan acted
as joint bookrunners on this transaction.
