Attendance of shareholders at the General Meeting

Entitlement to attend the General Meeting and to exercise voting
rights and all other shareholders´ rights at the General
Meeting is conditional on shareholdings on the record date,
i.e. 12 pm - midnight - CET/CEST (Local Time Vienna), April 30,
2012 (Monday).

Only shareholders who provide evidence of their shareholdings on
the record date are entitled to attend the General Meeting.

Evidence of shareholdings on the specified date must be furnished by
way of a confirmation issued by the bank where the shareholder
has deposited his/her shares (deposit confirmation) if the bank is
domiciled in a member state of the EEA or OECD. Shareholders who
have deposited their shares with a bank which does not meet
these criteria are requested to contact the Company.

The deposit confirmation must be issued in German or English in
accordance with the relevant statutory provisions (section 10a
Stock Corporation Act) and contain the following information:

1. Details of the issuing bank: Name (company) and address;
2. Shareholder details: Name (company) and address, date of birth in
the case of natural persons, corporate register and register number
in the case of legal persons;
3. Deposit number or other relevant description;
4. Details of the shares: Number of shares and their designation or
ISIN;
5. Express declaration that the confirmation relates to the deposit
holding as at 12 pm - midnight - CET/CEST (Local Time Vienna), April
30, 2012.

Shares declared void Shareholders whose shares were declared void on
March 21, 2011 (please refer to the publication in the "Amtsblatt
zur Wiener Zeitung" [official gazette section of the Wiener Zeitung]
on March 22, 2011 and on the Company´s website at www.omv.com
› Investor Relations › OMV Shares & Bonds › Request to deposit
share certificates), can only exercise their voting rights
and other shareholders´ rights in the General Meeting, if they have
in time before the record date (April 30, 2012) filed their
(void) share certificates with UniCredit Bank Austria AG and have
received a credit note on their deposit.

Deposit confirmations must be received by the Company by 12 pm -
midnight - CET/CEST (Local Time Vienna) May 7, 2012, by one of the
following means only: - Via mail, courier or
personally: OMV Aktiengesellschaft, c/o Dr. Mirjam
Hörlsberger, Trabrennstraße 6-8, 1020 Vienna

- as an un-editable document (PDF) in electronic form to
anmeldung.omv@hauptversammlung.at
- by fax to +43 (0) 1 8900 500 56

According to section 262 Para 20 Stock Corporation Act receipt of
deposit confirmations via internationally used specific secured
communication net (SWIFT) shall be excluded for the present General
Meeting and until further notice.

Transmission of the deposit confirmation to the Company shall also
constitute the shareholder's registration for attendance of the
General Meeting. Where possible, banks are requested to send
deposit confirmations collectively (in list form).

Shareholders are not blocked by registering their attendance at
the General Meeting or by sending deposit confirmations;
shareholders may continue to freely dispose of their shares after
registration or transmission of a deposit confirmation.

Representation of shareholders at the General Meeting

Each shareholder who is entitled to attend the General Meeting has
the right to appoint a natural or legal person to represent
him/her. The proxy holder attends the General Meeting on behalf
of the shareholder and has the same rights as the shareholder
represented.

Each proxy must name the proxy holder(s). Shareholders are not
restricted in terms of the number of persons they appoint to
represent them and in their choice of proxy holder. However,
the Company itself, or a member of the Executive or
Supervisory Board, may only exercise the right to vote as a proxy
holder if the shareholder has provided express instructions
regarding the individual agenda items.

A shareholder may grant a proxy to the bank where he/she has
deposited his/her shares subject to the agreement with that bank. In
such case, in addition to the deposit confirmation, it is
sufficient for the bank to provide the Company with a declaration
by one of the permitted means (see above) that it has been granted
a proxy; the proxy itself need not be sent to the Company in this
case.

A proxy may be revoked by the shareholder. The revocation becomes
effective upon receipt by the Company.

Declarations concerning the granting and revoking of proxies may be
sent to the Company in text form, not later than 4 pm CET/CEST
(Local Time Vienna), May 9, 2012, by one of the following means
only:

- Via mail, courier or personally: OMV Aktiengesellschaft, c/o
Dr. Mirjam Hörlsberger, Trabrennstraße 6-8, 1020 Vienna

- as an un-editable document (PDF) in electronic form to
anmeldung.omv@hauptversammlung.at
- by fax to +43 (0) 1 8900 500 56

On the day of the General Meeting, the submission is only permitted
personally by presenting it at the registration to the General
Meeting at the meeting place.

As a service, we provide our shareholders with the option of
having their voting right exercised by an independent proxy
appointed by the Company - the Interessenverband für Anleger
[Association for Investors] (IVA), Feldmühlgasse 22, 1130 Vienna,
office@iva.or.at, tel. +43 1 87 63 343 /30. Michael Knap
(michael.knap@iva.or.at, tel. +43 664-213 87 40) will represent
shareholders at this General Meeting on behalf of the
Association for Investors. OMV Aktiengesellschaft bears the
costs for the proxy. All other costs have to be borne by the
shareholder, especially their own banking fees for the deposit
confirmation or the postal charges.

The shareholder must request a deposit confirmation from the bank
where his/her shares are deposited. Michael Knap must be granted a
written authorization to act as a proxy on this deposit
confirmation (or on a separate sheet). The deposit confirmation
and written authorization must be sent by the shareholder to Mr.
Knap, c/o IVA, Feldmühlgasse 22, 1130 Vienna. As the
deposit confirmation and original proxy must be received by the IVA
in time before the General Meeting, we would request that
shareholders bear postal delivery durations in mind. The
shareholder must provide Mr. Knap with instructions as to how he
(or a sub-proxy authorized by Mr. Knap) should exercise the
voting right.

Michael Knap exercises the voting right exclusively on the
basis of the instructions given by the shareholder and without
express instructions the proxy is invalid. Should separate votes
be taken on each agenda item, an instruction provided in
connection therewith shall apply to each sub-item. Please note
that Mr. Knap does not accept any requests to make comments, object
to General Meeting resolutions, ask questions or propose resolutions.

Resolutions to be put to the vote are posted on the Company´s
website at www.omv.com › Investor Relations › Corporate
Governance & Organization › General Meeting › AGM 2012 as soon
as they come to the knowledge of the Company.

An e-mail address has been set up for the General Meeting to give
shareholders the possibility of giving or amending instructions at
short notice during the General Meeting. This e-mail address is:
omv@hauptversammlung.at.

We recommend that shareholders use the form available on the
internet at www.omv.com › Investor Relations › Corporate
Governance & Organization › General Meeting› AGM 2012 to grant or
revoke authorizations.

Shareholders´ rights in connection with the General Meeting

Shareholders whose holdings represent a combined total of at least
5% of the capital stock for at least three months may require in
writing the inclusion and announcement of additional General
Meeting agenda items by April 19, 2012. A draft resolution and
justification thereof must be submitted for each agenda item.

Shareholders whose holdings represent a combined total of at least
1% of the capital stock may submit draft resolutions in text form
for each agenda item, to be accompanied by a justification, by
April 30, 2012, and require the resolutions to be posted on
the Company´s website with the names of the relevant
shareholders and the justification.

Each shareholder has the right to propose motions at the General
Meeting for each agenda item. Prerequisite therefor is the evidence
of the entitlement to attend the General Meeting.

Further information regarding these rights, and in particular how
to submit resolutions to the Company and evidence of the
respective shareholdings required is now available on the internet
at www.omv.com › Investor Relations › Corporate Governance &
Organization › General Meeting› AGM 2012.

Only shareholders whose holdings represent a combined total of at
least 1% of the share capital may nominate candidates for election
to the Supervisory Board (item 8 on the agenda). Nominations must be
submitted to the Company by April 30, 2012, in the way described
above. Each nomination must be accompanied by the nominee´s
academic qualifications, professional or similar experience, and
concerns with regard to potential conflicts of interest.

Every shareholder has the right to request information
regarding Company matters at the General Meeting, provided that such
information is necessary for the proper assessment of an agenda
item. The duty to provide information extends to legal and
business relationships between the Company and Group companies,
and to the condition of the Group and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Such information must comply with the principles of diligent
and truthful accountability. Information may be denied if,
according to reasonable commercial judgment, it could cause
significant harm to the Company or a Group company, or if the
provision of information would be unlawful.

Total number of shares and voting rights

At the time of convocation of the General Meeting, the Company´s
share capital is divided into 327,272,727 no par shares. Each share
confers one vote. Shares owned by the Company do not confer any
voting rights. Currently 326,143,336 voting rights can be
exercised.

A dividend resolved on by the General Meeting becomes due 30 days
after the General Meeting´s resolution pursuant to section 27 Para 6
of the Articles of Association of OMV Aktiengesellschaft, unless
resolved otherwise. A relevant dividend announcement will be made
on May 12, 2012. Shareholders may exercise their dividend rights
through their deposit bank. The bank will credit the dividend
to the relevant account via the points of payment.

Admission to General Meeting

Shareholders or their proxies are advised that they must present
an official identification document (driver´s license, passport
or identity card) to confirm their identities upon admission to
the General Meeting. Please bear in mind the large expected
attendance and the usual safety procedures when planning your
arrival time. Admission to obtain ballot forms commences at 12:30 pm
CET/CEST (Local Time Vienna).

The General Meeting is the key governing body of a stock corporation
as it is the forum for the Company´s owners - the shareholders. We
therefore hope you will appreciate that we cannot turn a General
Meeting into an event for guests, much as we value such interest,
and that attendance by guests is limited and only possible after
prior registration by telephone (Tel. +43 1 40 440-21417).
