Buyback of convertibles and use of treasury shares to serve the bonds

OMV, Central Europe's leading oil and gas group, announced today that
it will redeem the outstanding convertible bonds (1.50%, due 2008,
ISIN: AT0000342647) on February 21, 2007. As of December 31, 2006,
the number of bonds outstanding was 165,459, which is less than 10%
of the bonds originally issued in December 2004 (1,793,868).

The last day on which conversion rights may be exercised is February
14, 2007. One bond can be converted into 10 ordinary OMV shares.
Bond holders willing to exercise their bonds are advised to instruct
their respective custodian bank that both the duly completed and
executed exercise notice and the bonds have to be received by the
conversion agent by February 14, 2007. In the event the bond holder
does not exercise his conversion right until this date, each still
outstanding bond will be redeemed at its principal amount of EUR
306.60 plus accrued interest on the redemption date.

In order to avoid dilution of existing shareholders and given the
strong balance sheet of the Group, OMV started a share buyback
program in 2006 to satisfy bond conversions. As of December 31,
2006, 26% of the total amount of convertible bonds originally issued
have been converted already. In addition, OMV repurchased further
65% of the convertible bonds.
