Ternitz/Vienna, 27 April 2016. The Annual General Meeting of today
has once again granted authorization to the Executive Board of
Schoeller-Bleckmann Oilfield Equipment AG (SBO) to buy back own
shares within a period of 30 months up to a maximum of 10 % of the
issued share capital of the company, and to cancel or dispose of own
shares without any further resolution of the Annual General Meeting
being necessary and to determine the respective terms and conditions
of such disposal.

According to the authorization, the Executive Board has decided to
conduct a share buyback program. In total, up to 1,600,000 non-par
value bearer shares - which corresponds up to 10 % of the company's
share capital - can be bought back under the program, at a price per
par-value share of at least EUR 1.- and EUR 300.- at most. The share
buyback program runs from 03 May 2016 to 24 October 2018.

Own shares can be used for possible future employee participation
schemes as well as for implementing the corporate, growth and
acquisition policy. The company reserves the right to use the shares
bought back also for other purposes in line with the authorization
given by the Annual General Meeting.

Amendments and transactions conducted under the buyback program will
be published as required by the Austrian Stock Exchange Act and
