Wien (euro adhoc) - *OMV raises EUR 1.5 bn in long-dated Eurobonds at highly
attractive financing terms 
*OMV announces tender offers for its 2014 Eurobond as well as its 2014 and 2016
Schuldschein loan notes to further extend its debt maturity profile

Today, OMV has launched and priced a new EUR 1.5 bn dual tranche Eurobond
transaction. The transaction comprises of a EUR 750 mn 10 year tranche, with a
coupon of 2.625% and a maturity date of September 27, 2022 and a EUR 750 mn 15
year tranche, with a coupon of 3.50% and a maturity date of September 27, 2027.
The new bonds were issued via OMV's EUR 4 bn Euro Medium Term Note Program
(EMTN) - a funding program that allows OMV to issue debt in the Euromarkets on a
regular and continuous basis - and have denominations of EUR 100,000. The order
book was significantly oversubscribed due to the strong investor demand. OMV has
applied for these bonds to be listed in Luxembourg and Vienna.

In conjunction with the issuance of new Eurobonds, OMV has also launched tender
offers for any and all of its EUR 1 bn 6.250% coupon Eurobond due in 2014 as
well as its EUR 82 mn 5.39% and EUR 101 mn 5.97% Schuldschein loan notes
respectively due in 2014 and 2016. The Eurobond tender offer will expire on
September 26, 2012, while the Schuldschein loan note tender offer will expire on
October 1, 2012.

The proceeds of the new Eurobonds will be used for general corporate purposes,
including the funding of the tender offers and repayment of upcoming maturities.
 

David C. Davies, Deputy Chairman of the Executive Board and Chief Financial
Officer of OMV, said: "The combined exercise of new long-dated Eurobonds issues
in conjunction with liability management on upcoming maturities presented a
unique opportunity for OMV to lock in long-term funding at historically
attractive rates whilst further optimizing our debt maturity profile.
Furthermore, these transactions support our strong investment grade credit
rating".

Barclays, Erste Group Bank, JP Morgan Securities plc and UniCredit Bank Austria
acted as joint bookrunners on the Eurobond transaction. Citigroup and Société
Générale Corporate & Investment Banking are acting as Dealer Managers on the
2014 Eurobond tender offer, and Landesbank Baden-Württemberg is acting as tender
agent on the tender of the Schuldschein loan notes.
