Significant event to be reported:

Involuntary manslaughter case - Ploiesti Court of Appeal final decision
(appeal)

 

The Ploiesti Court of Appeal ruled yesterday evening its decision in the file
where OMV Petrom SA ("the Company") was sent to trial. The accusation is
referring to an incident which occurred in Cobia in 2016 and resulted in the
death of a child. The decision is final. The ruling in first instance was
communicated via the ad-hoc report issued on 13 December 2022.

The company was found guilty for committing involuntary manslaughter and was
convicted to a punishment of a criminal fine amounting to RON 500,000 (200
days of fine, the equivalent of a day of fine being of RON 2,500). On the
civil side, the company is obliged to pay moral damages in total amount of EUR
40,000 to the victim's family. Moreover, the court of appeal decided to remove
the complementary sanction applied by the first instance regarding the
one-year suspension of the activity of oil exploitation wells within the
radius of Dambovita county which, at the date of the final decision, would not
have had a completely closed and locked perimeter or which would not have had
a well cellar grate installed. The court of appeal maintained the rest of the
provisions of the challenged decision.

 

Please note that, currently, there are no wells in exploitation belonging to
OMV Petrom that are not fenced or that do not have a well cellar grate
installed.
