Ternitz/Vienna, 27 April 2016. The Annual General Meeting of today has once
again granted authorization to the Executive Board of Schoeller-Bleckmann
Oilfield Equipment AG (SBO) to buy back own shares within a period of 30 months
up to a maximum of 10 % of the issued share capital of the company, and to
cancel or dispose of own shares without any further resolution of the Annual
General Meeting being necessary and to determine the respective terms and
conditions of such disposal.

According to the authorization, the Executive Board has decided to conduct a
share buyback program. In total, up to 1,600,000 non-par value bearer shares -
which corresponds up to 10 % of the company's share capital - can be bought back
under the program, at a price per par-value share of at least EUR 1.- and EUR
300.- at most. The share buyback program runs from 03 May 2016 to 24 October
2018.

Own shares can be used for possible future employee participation schemes as
well as for implementing the corporate, growth and acquisition policy. The
company reserves the right to use the shares bought back also for other purposes
in line with the authorization given by the Annual General Meeting. 

Amendments and transactions conducted under the buyback program will be
published as required by the Austrian Stock Exchange Act and Publication
Ordinance on the website of Schoeller-Bleckmann Oilfield Equipment AG on

conduct the share buyback program is also available on the company's website
