Annual & Special Corporate Meetings
25.04.2013

Ternitz/Vienna, 25 April 2013: The Annual General Meeting of
Schoeller-Bleckmann Oilfield Equipment AG (SBO) listed on the ATX
segment of the Vienna Stock Exchange, resolved to increase the
dividend for fiscal 2012 from last year's EUR 1.20 to EUR 1.50, of
which EUR 0.50 are attributed to the basic dividend and EUR 1.00 to
the bonus. The ex-dividend and dividend payment date was set at 8 May
2013.

The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board were granted discharge
for fiscal 2012 by the Annual General Meeting.

According to the Articles of Association, Dr. Peter Pichler's
Supervisory Board mandate ended at this year's Annual General Meeting
by draw. At the election to the Supervisory Board, Dr. Peter Pichler
was reappointed as Supervisory Board member until the Annual General
Meeting to be held in 2018.

For the current fiscal year 2013, SST Schwarz & Schmid
Wirtschaftsprüfungsges. m.b.H. Wirtschaftsprüfungs- und
Steuerberatungsgesellschaft was appointed auditor of the annual
financial statements of the company, and Ernst & Young
Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft m.b.H. was appointed auditor of the
consolidated financial statements.

In their report delivered to the Annual General Meeting the Executive
Board gave an extensive overview of fiscal 2012 for SBO and on the
current market situation, pointing out that the tendency of some
customers to cut on tool order volumes due to high inventories
continues as observed in the months before. The underlying reason for
the current inventory situation can be found in the overordering that
took place in the first half of 2012. A reversal of this trend in
incoming orders for SBO can be expected only when customers have
reduced their inventories accordingly.

As the fundamental data of the oilfield service industry has remained
intact, SBO nevertheless sees a positive industry environment.
Despite its ongoing spending for growth the company is based on a
sound balance sheet, low debt and attractive cash-flow. Therefore,
mid-term growth prospects for SBO remain intact.
