Regional expansion: the opportunity Several countries around Romania don’t have the capacity to develop refining facilities of their own in the near future The Balkans and Black Sea region is too far and too fragmented to be attractive to US majors, while most European majors have not invested heavily in the region’s growth potential Romania has a two-year window of opportunity to expand at a fast pace in this region prior to EU integration Rompetrol has the experience, brand name, and traditional ties that give the company a competitive advantage in conducting business in the region

Consideration on crude supply 4/24/2019 Consideration on crude supply Petromidia refinery benefits from processing only Ural crude (strategic decision taken in 2001) improved in 2004 as a result of increased differential between Brent and Ural Average differential in 2004 was approx. $3.76 per bbl while the average on the last 5 years was less than $2 per bbl The trend is expected to continue in the near future

Rompetrol Rafinare strategy 4/24/2019 Rompetrol Rafinare strategy Rompetrol Rafinare strives to become, through organic growth and sensible low-cost acquisitions that integrate with its existing operations, the leading low-cost provider of petroleum products in the Balkans and the Black Sea region. The strategy will be executed by: Refining: Increasing the quantitative and qualitative performance of the Petromidia platform while upgrading to continue to meet EU quality standards Downstream: Maintaining an approximate 50-50 balance between internal and external markets, while establishing direct selling operations in regional countries and building the retail brand in Romania and abroad Petrochemicals: Restarting of the Ethylene Plant and the related Polyethylene plants and becoming a middle size player in the Balkans Services: Using services companies synergistically with the group (Rominserv), with third parties (Rompetrol Logistics) or divesting them as “non-core”
