Romanian oil and gas company OMV Petrom, listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange, will organize its first webcast to present its yearly financial results.

The presentation will be held in English and will be broadcast through a live audio webcast, which can be accessed from the company’s website, www.petrom.com , section Investor Relations>Events>Q4/2013. The online event will start at 16.00 (Romania time) and last for 45 minutes.

Simultaneously with the webcast, the presentation will be also available via conference call. The analysts and investors who wish to participate in the conference call must pre-register by sending an e-mail to investor.relations.petrom@petrom.com by February 18, 16.00pm (local time) / 15.00pm (CET) / 14.00pm (GMT).
