I am delighted to tell you more about the agreement we signed late last night with LetterOne on the formation of Wintershall DEA. We will create significant value for both shareholders of the joint venture by forming the leading independent European exploration and production company, seizing additional growth opportunities, generating synergies of at least €200 million per year and last but not least IPO Wintershall DEA. In the following, I will briefly highlight Wintershall DEA’s main characteristics, the key elements of the transaction agreement and the corporate governance structure of the company. Mario will later provide you with further operational details. Page 4 BASF Conference Call September 28, 2018 BASF Group’s strategic rationale for the merger of Wintershall and DEA .

Creating the leading independent European exploration and production company with strong international operations and significant scale . Combined business with pro-forma 2017 sales of €4.7 billion, EBITDA of €2.8 billion and net income of €740 million . Broadening and balancing the regional asset footprint: 2017 pro-forma production of 210 million boe and 2.2 billion boe 1P reserves . Portfolio upgrading across the whole E&P lifecycle, leveraging strategic partnerships and technologies 3 September 2018 Page 5 BASF Conference Call September 28, 2018 [Chart 3: BASF Group’s strategic rationale for the merger of Wintershall and DEA] Yesterday night, BASF and LetterOne signed a definitive transaction agreement to merge their respective oil and gas businesses in a joint venture, which will operate under the name Wintershall DEA. This merger is an important value-creating step on BASF’s strategic path. By combining these two German-based entities, we create the basis for further profitable growth. Wintershall DEA will become the leading independent European exploration and production company with strong international operations and significant scale. In 2017, the combined business had pro-forma sales of 4.7 billion euros, EBITDA reached 2.8 billion euros and net income amounted to 740 million euros. We will strengthen the portfolio footprint of the combined business and realize synergies, thus creating significant additional value. Furthermore, BASF and LetterOne envisage to list Wintershall DEA through an Initial Public Offering (IPO). The merger will lead to a more balanced regional footprint with even stronger operating companies. In 2017, pro-forma hydrocarbon production totaled 210 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe); this equals a production of around 575,000 boe per day. Through leveraging strategic partnerships and sharing technological expertise, Wintershall DEA will enhance its access to growth opportunities. Page 6 BASF Conference Call September 28, 2018 Creation of the leading European E&P Independent with international operations and significant scale: Wintershall DEA . A clear strategy for profitable growth based on solid project pipeline with access to high-potential acreage . Focus on core regions and activities with limited exploration risk . World-class partnerships in key countries . Success through operational excellence and technological expertise . Track record as cost-efficient operator with low reserve replacement costs and low production costs . High quality portfolio across the whole E&P lifecycle with strong free cash flow . Major operator in the non-cyclical European gas transportation business 4 September 2018 Page 7 BASF Conference Call September 28, 2018 [Chart 4: Creation of the leading European E&P Independent with international operations and significant scale: Wintershall DEA] Wintershall DEA has a clear strategy for profitable growth based on a solid project pipeline. As a mid-size E&P company, the joint venture will continue to focus its activities on core and development regions where Wintershall and DEA built up specific know-how. Exploration activities are near- and greenfield and operated with a limited exploration risk profile. The company will further strengthen its world-class partnerships in key countries and leverage operational excellence and technological expertise. Wintershall DEA will be one of the most cost-efficient operators with low reserve replacement costs and low production costs. The joint venture will also be a major operator in the non-cyclical European gas transportation business which provides earnings stability. And last but not least, Wintershall DEA has a superior growth portfolio across the whole E&P lifecycle and generates strong free cash flows.

BASF will initially hold 67% and LetterOne 33% of Wintershall DEA’s ordinary shares reflecting the value of the respective E&P 67% (72.7%) 33% (27.3%) businesses of Wintershall and DEA. 5.7% Wintershall Holding, renamed: Wintershall DEA . To reflect the value of Wintershall’s gas transportation business, BASF will receive additional preference shares.* This will result in a total shareholding of BASF in Wintershall DEA of 72.7%. DEA Deutsche Ordinary shares Erdöl AG Preference shares* * Preference shares will be converted into ordinary shares in Wintershall DEA no later than 36 months after closing but in all cases before an IPO. Initially, it was intended to reflect the value of the gas transportation business through a mandatory convertible bond. 5 September 2018 Page 9 BASF Conference Call September 28, 2018 [Chart 5: Key elements of the definitive transaction agreement] To effect the merger, LetterOne will contribute all its shares in DEA Deutsche Erdöl AG into Wintershall Holding GmbH against the issuance of new shares of Wintershall to LetterOne. Wintershall will then be renamed Wintershall DEA. BASF will initially hold 67 percent and LetterOne 33 percent of Wintershall DEA’s ordinary shares reflecting the value of the respective exploration and production businesses of Wintershall and DEA. To reflect the value of Wintershall’s gas transportation business, BASF will receive additional preference shares following the closing resulting in a total shareholding of BASF in Wintershall DEA of 72.7 percent. No later than 36 months after closing but in all cases before an IPO, these preference shares will be converted into ordinary shares of Wintershall DEA. Initially, it was intended to reflect the value of the gas transportation business through a mandatory convertible bond. However, we now agreed to replace the bond with preference shares, which offer a higher degree of flexibility in terms of capital structuring. Closing of the transaction is expected in the first half of 2019, subject to approvals of merger control and foreign investment authorities as well as several mining authorities and the German Federal Network Agency. In the medium term, BASF and LetterOne envisage to list Wintershall DEA through an IPO. Page 10 BASF Conference Call September 28, 2018 Three-tier corporate governance structure of Wintershall DEA .

The country therefore has the largest gas reserves worldwide. Russia also lies in sixth place in the world oil rankings with more than 105 billion barrels of proven oil reserves*. Russia is the biggest supplier of natural gas to the European Union. For Wintershall Dea, Europe’s leading independent natural gas and crude oil producer, Russia is the key core region in its portfolio and the region with the largest planned increase in production. Wintershall Dea is currently involved in several joint projects concerned with the exploration and production of hydrocarbons in Western Siberia and southern Russia. Together with our Russian partners, we are focusing on stable and long- term collaboration. Thanks to our ongoing exchange of experience and know-how a model of partnership has emerged that has been supplying Europe with energy for nearly 30 years. * BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2019 Factsheet Wintershall Dea March 2020 01 Successful collaboration in exploration & production Achimgaz, a joint venture between the Gazprom subsidiary Gazprom Dobycha Urengoy (50 per cent) and Wintershall Dea (50 per cent), celebrated its 15th anniversary in September 2018.
