Involuntary manslaughter case - Local's Court Gaiesti decison

The Local Court Gaiesti ruled its decision in the file where OMV Petrom SA was
sent to trial for involuntary manslaughter. The accusation is referring to an
incident which occurred in Cobia in 2016 and resulted in the death of a child.
The company expresses its deep regret for this tragic loss.

OMV Petrom was found guilty and was convicted to a punishment of a criminal
fine amounting to RON 28,000. On the civil side, the court assessed the degree
of fault of OMV Petrom SA at 50% and the company was obliged to pay moral
damages in total amount of EUR 135,000 to the victim's family and material
damages and other expenses in total amount of RON 22,000. The court ordered
the complementary measure consisting in the one-year suspension of the
activity of oil exploitation wells within the radius of Dâmboviţa county
which, at the date when the decision becomes final, do not have a completely
closed and locked perimeter or which do no have a well cellar grate installed.
The court also ordered the publication of the decision of conviction, in
extract. The decision is not final. The company will file an appeal against
the decision. Please note that, currently, there are no exploitation wells
belonging to OMV Petrom that are not fenced or that do not have a well cellar
grate installed.
