Significant event to be reported/ Eveniment important de raportat: Follow-up on the adhoc announcement dated January 10, 2012 with regards to the Eco Premium investigation by the Romanian Competition Council against Petrom / Revenire raport curent din 10 ianuarie 2012 privind investigatia EcoPremium efectuata de Consiliul Concurentei impotriva Petrom

As communicated through the adhoc report dated January 10, 2012, OMV Petrom SA requested the Court to annul the Competition Council Decision no. 97/2011 regarding the result of the antitrust investigation concerning the withdrawal of the retail product Eco Premium (unleaded gasoline pre-mixed with lead substitute) from the Romanian fuels market. The legal action aimed to exempt OMV Petrom SA from paying the fine imposed by the authority, amounting to RON 366,530,965. In Q4/11, OMV Petrom SA booked a provision to reflect this fine, and in accordance with the current legislation, the fine payment was done in $H1/12.$

On November 6, 2013, the Court of Appeal in Bucharest rejected OMV Petrom SA's request against the Competition Council's decision. OMV Petrom SA will file an appeal to the High Court of Cassation and Justice, whose decision will be irrevocable.

The legal action initiated by OMV Petrom Marketing SRL (100% subsidiary of Petrom) against the Competition Council decision, was also rejected by the Court. Consequently, OMV Petrom Marketing SRL will file an appeal.

OMV Petrom SA and OMV Petrom Marketing SRL are of the opinion that the fines imposed by the Competition Council are not justified, and will continue to challenge the decisions in the courts.

Asa cum a fost comunicat prin raportul curent publicat in data de 10 ianuarie 2012, OMV Petrom SA $\overline{a}$ solicitat in instanta anularea Deciziei 97/2011 emisa de Consiliul Concurentei cu privire la rezultatul investigatiei in materie de concurenta referitoare la retragerea de pe piata locala a sortimentului Eco Premium (benzina fara plumb aditivata cu substitut de plumb). Prin aceasta actiune in instanta, OMV Petrom SA a solicitat exonerarea de la plata amenzii in valoare de 366.530.965 lei. Reamintim ca in T4/11, OMV Petrom SA a constituit un provizion pentru a reflecta aceasta amenda si, in conformitate cu legislatia in vigoare, a efectuat plata amenzii in S1/12.

In data de 6 noiembrie 2013, Curtea de Apel Bucuresti a respins actiunea OMV Petrom SA impotriva Deciziei Consiliului Concurentei. OMV Petrom SA va promova recurs, decizia irevocabila urmand a fi pronuntata de Inalta Curte de Casatie si Justitie.

Actiunea promovata de catre OMV Petrom Marketing SRL (detinuta 100% de Petrom) impotriva Deciziei Consiliului Concurentei a fost, de asemenea, respinsa. In consecinta, OMV Petrom Marketing SRL va promova recurs.

OMV Petrom SA si OMV Petrom Marketing SRL considera sanctiunile Consiliul Concurentei ca fiind nejustificate si vor continua contestarea in instanta a acestora.
