OMV / energy / oil / gas/ Executive Board / Supervisory Board

25.03.2009

- Continuity of the experienced management team for ongoing growth
strategy in challenging times - Previous areas of responsibility of
OMV Executive Board members remain unchanged - Ruttenstorfer to serve
as CEO of OMV until 2011 - Gerhard Roiss to succeed

At its meeting today, the Supervisory Board of OMV reconfirmed the
management team consisting of Wolfgang Ruttenstorfer, Gerhard Roiss,
Werner Auli, David C. Davies and Helmut Langanger, effective from
April 1, 2009. Regarding the concrete terms of office the fact was
taken into consideration that Wolfgang Ruttenstorfer as well as
Helmut Langanger have decided to quit the service after having
reached the age of 60.

Rainer Wieltsch, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, commented: "It
was a clear decision to express our confidence again in this
successful Executive Board. Facing a worldwide economic crisis it is
all the more important to have an experienced team in place. In that
regard is was also our concern to build on continuity when it comes
to the function of the CEO after 2011." In 2011, Wolfgang
Ruttenstorfer will have reached the age of 60 and has decided to end
his active career within OMV; therefore the OMV Supervisory Board has
destined Mr. Gerhard Roiss as CEO for the time after April 1, 2011.

The team, led by CEO Ruttenstorfer, took office in January 2002 and
has actively pursued the internationalization of the Company. Today,
OMV is the leading energy group in CEE. Furthermore, the board has
prepared the Group in a very professional manner to face the ongoing
economic crises. It is therefore the right time to extend the mandate
of the Executive Board to ensure the Group´s further success and
stability.

Wolfgang Ruttenstorfer, who began his term of office on the Executive
Board in 1992 as Chief Financial Officer, and served as Deputy CEO
beginning in 2000, became CEO on January 1, 2002. The OMV Supervisory
Board has reconfirmed Mr. Ruttenstorfer as CEO as of April 1, 2009
until March 31, 2011.

Gerhard Roiss, member of the Executive Board since 1997 (Plastics and
Chemicals), also assumed responsibility for the Exploration and
Production business segment starting 2000. Since January 2002, Roiss
has been Deputy CEO, with responsibility for Refining and Marketing,
including Petrochemicals. OMV´s Supervisory Board has extended the
term of office of Mr Roiss as of April 1, 2009 until March 31, 2014.
He will accept office of the CEO as of April 1, 2011.

David C. Davies joined the management team as Chief Financial Officer
on April 1, 2002. His contract has been confirmed as of April 1, 2009
until March 31, 2010 meaning for the time being only for the original
contract period whilst Mr. Davies and his family consider their
position.

Werner Auli joined the OMV Executive Board as of January 1, 2007.
From 2002 to 2004 he was managing director of EconGas, a 50%
subsidiary of OMV. 2004 he returned to the OMV Group, where he was
chairman and speaker of the Management Board of OMV Gas GmbH. On
January 1, 2006 he became head of OMV Gas International GmbH. His
term of office was also prolonged as of April 1, 2009 until March 31,
2014.

From 1989 to 2001, Helmut Langanger was head of the domestic and
international activities of OMV´s Exploration and Production business
segment. He became a member of the Executive Board at the beginning
of 2002, with responsibility for E&P. Mr. Langanger´s term of office
was extended as of April 1, 2009 until September 30, 2010.

Helmut Langanger as well as Wolfgang Ruttenstorfer will have reached
the age of 60 when their respective contracts will expire. Mr.

development of the Company for more than 30 years.
