Aiming to increase the level of compliance with the provisions of the Bucharest Stock Exchange Code of Corporate Governance ("BSE CGC"), the Supervisory Board of OMV Petrom S.A. ("OMV Petrom") approved the following changes in the membership of the Audit Committee, starting April 19, 2019:
· Mr. Jochen Weise was appointed as President of the Audit Committee. Mr. Weise previously held the position of Deputy President of the Audit Committee;
· Mr. Reinhard Florey was appointed as Deputy President of the Audit Committee. Mr. Florey previously held the position of President of the Audit Committee.
Thus, following the above, the membership of the Audit Committee is the following:
· Mr. Jochen Weise - President;
· Mr. Reinhard Florey - Deputy President;
· Mr. Radu Cojocaru - Member;
· Mrs. Sevil Shhaideh - Member.
All four members of the Audit Committee are non-executives, all being members of the Supervisory Board. Following the independence evaluation, it resulted that three of the members of the Audit Committee, namely Mr. Jochen Weise, Mr. Sevil Shhaideh and Mr. Radu Cojocaru, meet all independence criteria provided by the BSE CGC.
Consequently, OMV Petrom announces the change, effective April 19, 2019, of its compliance status with provision B.2 of the BSE CGC, namely "The audit committee should be chaired by an independent non-executive member", from " partial compliance" to "compliance", as the President of the Audit Committee fulfils both the condition of being non-executive, and also the condition of being independent.
