Starting with September 20, OMV Petrom (ticker symbol SNP), the largest energy company in South-Eastern Europe, will be included in the indices of the global supplier FTSE Russell, as a result of meeting eligibility criteria, including the shares liquidity and the size of market capitalization. These indices are: FTSE Global All-World, FTSE Global All-Cap, FTSE Global Total-Cap and FTSE Global Mid Cap.
Alina Popa, CFO, member of the OMV Petrom Executive Board, said: “We appreciate the inclusion of OMV Petrom shares in the FTSE Russell indices, which shows the attractiveness of our company’s shares as an investment option. It is the result of our continuous effort to improve operational and financial performance and also to increase transparency for our company. With the inclusion in these indices we expect an additional increase in the attractiveness of OMV Petrom shares for a wider and more diversified investor base.”
