According to Section 3:225. (3) of Act V of 2013 on the Civil Code, any dividend that is payable on the company's own shares shall be taken into account at nominal value as pertaining to shareholders with respect to the dividends payable on their shares. MOL directly and indirectly owns 20,921,156 'A' series and 578 'C' series MOL ordinary shares.

Accordingly the gross dividend is HUF 95.02 per share

The payment of dividend will commence on 18 August 2021 (starting day of the dividend payment)

Prior to payment of the dividend, MOL Plc. will carry out a shareholder identification, based on the data of 11 August 2021 (Record Date). The last day of trading on the Budapest Stock Exchange and the Warsaw Stock Exchange for shares entitled to the dividend of 2020 financial year will be 9 August 2021 in case of T+2 days settlement (ex-coupon day: 10 August 2021 ). Shareholders (natural persons and legal entities) will be entitled to receive the dividend if they own MOL shares at the Record Date, and their account keeper has requested that the shareholder be recorded in the Company Share Register. Shareholders will remain entitled to receive the dividend within a limited five-year period (set by the statute of limitation) beginning at the starting day of the dividend payment. The Company is not obliged to pay any interest on dividends paid after 18 August 2021.

Process of dividend payment:

1. In respect of shareholders holding their shares in a security account with a Hungarian account keeper, the dividend will be transferred to the bank account attached to the security account held at the account keeper or to the personal bank account of the shareholder from 18 August 2021, if the above mentioned account keeper has transferred all adequate data suitable for identification of the shareholder in the requested form to KELER Ltd.

If the account keeper inadequately identifies the owner of the respective shares by the given Record Date, the account keeper may finish the identification process later, according to KELER Ltd.'s General Business Rules. Having obtained the missing or supplementary information, KELER Ltd. determines the net dividend payable and transfers it to the account of the shareholder at its account keeper or to his personal bank account. Please note that in such cases KELER Ltd. executes supplementary transfers only once a month which shall not be considered as late payment. The Company therefore kindly asks all shareholders to request their respective account keepers to perform the said shareholders identification appropriately and in a timely manner, and in case of doubt they should check whether the account keeper has all data required for the data to be supplied to KELER Ltd. The Company and KELER Ltd. do not undertake any liability for late dividend payments arising from the delay of or incomplete, unsuitable or missing information from the shareholder or its account keeper, furthermore do not undertake any liability if the dividend is transferred to a bank account based on the direct declaration of the shareholder that differs from the bank account given by the account keeper.

2. In case of DR holders, dividends will be transferred by MOL Plc. through the domestic custodian bank (UniCredit Bank Hungary) to the shareholders through The Bank of New York Mellon (the DR issuer).
