Budapest, 12 April 2018 - Today, MOL Plc. held a successful Annual General Meeting in Budapest. Shareholders approved the report of the Board of Directors regarding finances for the year 2017 and approved consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, the Annual General Meeting acknowledged the work of the Board of Directors performed during the 2017 business year and granted waiver to the Board of Directors and its members.

The General Meeting accepted the Board's proposal for the distribution of profits through a dividend payment of HUF 94 bn, a significant increase comparing to last year. The base dividend grew by 9% to HUF 85 per share from last year's HUF 78.125 per share.

The Annual General Meeting approved the Board's proposal for re-election of Mr. Zsolt Hernádi as a member of the Board of Directors. Furthermore, Mr. Zoltán Áldott and Prof. Dr. András Lánczi were elected as members of the Supervisory Board.
