Preamble
On 05/15/1934, the respective legal predecessors of MEEG and NEORT concluded
a contract on the payment of royalties on the production of certain natural
resources by MEEG. This contract has since been changed by amendments dated
12/08/1937, 02/09 and 03/17/1977, 09/08 and 09/14/1992, 03/06 and 03/30/1979
as well as 10/29 and 11/05/2009.
Below, the parties agree on the following, thereby amending the respective
existing regulation:
1. For the royalties from the contractual area, a change from the gas
prices ex field used as a calculation basis to the respective public
(staatlich) assessment base (= ex field-price) plus 1% is agreed.
2. The aforementioned changes will be carried out starting with the
accounting year 2016.
3. For the year 2015 only, the change from the gas prices ex field used
as a calculation basis to the public (staatlich) assessment base for
gas from the contractual area will be carried out with a surcharge
of 2%.
4. From the accounting year 2015 onwards, the audit concerning the gas
prices used as a basis for the determination of the proceeds will be
limited to a comparison with the public (staatlich) ex field-prices
for gas (i.e. discontinuance of the extensive price reviews).
Apart from that, the contracts remain unchanged.
