In general all publications related to this Annual General Meeting
can be downloaded from the Company's website www.omv.com and are also
made available in electronic form due to Article 82 para 9 Stock
Exchange Act to the extent legally required.

All shareholders who have deposited their shares at one of the
following depositing agencies by the close of business on May 7, 2008
at the latest will be entitled to participate in the Annual General
Meeting to exercise their right to vote and to propose motions:

- all main branches of domestic (Austrian) banks
- every notary public and
- the Company

Shareholders are requested to carry out the deposit process via their
depositary banks at the depositing agencies.

The deposit is also deemed to be made in accordance with the rules if
the share certificates are put in custody with the approval of a
depositing agency at any other financial institution until the end of
the Annual General Meeting.

The deposit confirmation by the depositing agency will be submitted
to the Company either in its original form or as a certified copy no
later than one working day after the last day of the depositing term
(in advance via fax [no. +43 (0)5 0100/916383] or via e-mail
[ingrid.lausch@erstebank.at]).

The Company's share capital is divided into 300,000,000 no par value
shares. Each share represents one voting right. Shares in possession
of the Company are not entitled to vote. Therefore 298,730,934 voting
rights are currently exercisable. Shares still in circulation with a
nominal value of ATS 100 or ATS 1,000 will be admitted to the Annual
General Meeting until their exchange and will hold their voting right
and the profit right, in the course of which every par value share at
the nominal value of ATS 100 represents one voting right and every
par value share at the nominal value of ATS 1,000 represents ten
voting rights.

For the avoidance of further inquiries the depositing agencies are
requested to indicate the number of shares and the number of voting
rights on the voting cards or the confirmation of depositing in
accordance with the above mentioned regulation at the occasion of
issuing the voting cards or deposit certificates.

The shareholders will have again the opportunity to exercise their
voting rights by an independent representative - namely the
Interessenverband für Anleger (IVA), Feldmühlgasse 22, 1130 Vienna,
Austria, office@iva.or.at, phone: +43 (1) 87 63 343/30. For IVA Mr.
Michael Knap (michael.knap@iva.or.at) will represent by request all
those shareholders, which properly deposited their shares but cannot
personally participate in the Annual General Meeting.

Representation is possible in two ways: a) The shareholder of OMV
Aktiengesellschaft authorizes the deposit bank to execute the
confirmation of the deposit of his OMV shares for Mr. Michael Knap,
as representative, c/o IVA, Feldmühlgasse 22, 1130 Vienna, Austria,
and to send the confirmation directly to Mr. Michael Knap. In this
case instructions are not possible and Mr. Knap (or his
sub-authority) is authorized to exercise the voting right at his
own discretion. b) The shareholder applies for a confirmation of the
deposit of his shares at his deposit bank. On this deposit
conformation (or on a separate paper) Mr. Knap has to be authorized
with the representation in written form. The deposit confirmation
including the written authorization has to be sent to Mr. Knap, c/o
IVA, Feldmühlgasse 22, 1130 Vienna, Austria. Furthermore, the
shareholder may give Mr. Knap (or his sub-authority) instructions
regarding different voting rights. Without instructions Dr. Knap is
authorized to exercise the voting right at his own discretion.

The motions due for approval will be published on the Company's
website (www.omv.com) under "About OMV ( Corporate Governance (
General Meeting ( This Year's AGM" as soon as the Company has notice
on it. To ensure that the original deposit confirmation (incl. the
authorization) will reach IVA before the Annual General Meeting in
time, we kindly ask you to consider the time of the post sending. It
is planned to install a separate email address to give the
shareholders the possibility to give or to change instructions during
the Annual General Meeting. This email address will be announced at
OMV's website.

According to Article 23 para 6 of the Articles of Association of the
Company, the dividend as resolved by the Annual General Meeting,
shall become payable 30 days after the resolution of the Annual
General Meeting, unless differently decided upon. The respective
dividend announcement will be made on May 17, 2008. Shareholders may
exercise their rights to dividends via their depositing bank by
submitting the coupon no. 35 which will credit the dividend to the
respective account utilizing the paying agents.

We request to plan sufficient time considering the expected high
number of participants and the nowadays usual security requirements.

The General Meeting is the prime organ of a stock corporation as it
is the forum of the owners of the Company, the shareholders.
Therefore we kindly ask for your understanding that such meeting is
not an event for guests - even if we appreciate such interest - and
that participation as guest is only possible by advanced notification
