Public disclosure of inside information according to Art 17 MAR
OMV has decided to amend the existing dividend policy due to the deconsolidation of Borealis Group (“Borealis”) and the introduction of Borouge Group International (“BGI”) dividends as a result of the BGI transaction. The general principle of a progressive regular dividend plus an additional variable dividend, the latter subject to a leverage ratio below 30% and sufficient available funds, is maintained for the dividend policy adjustment. The basis for the shareholder distribution is amended to consist of the distribution of 50% of BGI dividends attributable to OMV plus 20–30% of Operating Cash Flow excluding BGI dividends attributable to OMV.
Please note: This dividend policy represents the current aim of the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board of OMV, applies to dividends as from the financial year 2026, with the first payout under the amended policy in 2027, and may be revised in the future. Also, the dividend payments in any given year are subject to specific dividend proposals by the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board, each of which may elect to deviate from this dividend policy, if appropriate under the then prevailing circumstances, as well as to the decision of the Annual General Meeting.
