OMV Petrom 2030 Strategy enables stronger commitment to dividend growth

Today we are announcing our 2030 Strategy, which is expected to drive significant free cash flow, supporting investments across the business and a highly competitive dividend. Therefore, we are reinforcing our dividend policy with a stronger commitment.

The dividend policy is: "OMV Petrom S.A. ("the Company") is committed to deliver a competitive shareholder return throughout the business cycle, including paying a progressive dividend, in line with financial performance and investment needs, considering the long-term financial health of the Company." ​

The Company makes a stronger commitment to increase its base dividend per share by 5% - 10% per annum on average by 2030. In a favorable market environment and at management discretion, special dividends may also be distributed, provided that the Company's investment plans are funded. Total dividends are estimated to represent approximately 40% of the Company's operating cash flows for 2022-2030 in a base case price scenario.
