MOL Plc. Annual General Meeting 2013 Documents<br />

Proposal to Item 1 of the Agenda<br />

Decision on amount of dividend after 2012<br />

After 3 years of non-payment which was on the one hand due to the INA transaction in 2008 as well<br />

as some good organic investment opportunities, on the other hand due to the financial crisis, MOL<br />

turned back to dividend payment in 2012. Last year MOL paid out HUF 45 bn as dividend after the<br />

financial year of 2011.<br />

MOL has always followed a conservative financial policy, however, remained committed to pay out<br />

dividend to the shareholders if there is a room in the balance sheet to do that, in parallel maintaining<br />

the adequate financial stability. In 2013 and in the future as well, dividend payment proposal of<br />

Board of Directors is determined by the actual balance sheet position, which has always a top<br />

priority, as well as the outlook of organic and inorganic growth opportunities.<br />

MOL has outstanding organic growth projects with sizeable investment needs, especially in the<br />

international Upstream operation, where exploration and development programs in Kurdistan<br />

Region of Iraq, Kazakhstan and Russia will accelerate in the coming period. Moreover, MOL is<br />

continuously seeking good inorganic growth opportunities to renew its asset base in Upstream and<br />

strengthen further its Downstream position in the CEE region.<br />

2012 was a challenging year for the company, especially because of the lack of Syrian contribution<br />

due to the announced “force majeure” in February 2012. Despite all these challenges, owing to our<br />

diversified portfolio and conservative financial policy MOL not only kept its financial stability, but<br />

could strengthen it further.<br />

Based on this achievement taking into account aforementioned financial principles the Board of<br />

Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting to pay out HUF 46 bn (25% of the net profit,<br />

excluding special items) as dividend after the financial result of 2012. The proposed amount<br />

represents a slight increase compared to the dividend payment of last year despite the lower amount<br />

of net profit excluding special items in 2012 compared to 2011.<br />

Resolution proposal<br />

The Board of Directors proposes to the General Meeting to pay HUF 46 bn as a dividend<br />

in 2013 after the financial year ended 31 December 2012. The dividend on treasury shares is<br />

distributed to those shareholders eligible for dividend, in proportion to their shares. The profit<br />

after dividend payment shall increase retained earnings.<br />
