The Austrian Beteiligungs AG , shortly ÖBAG , manages the investments of the Republic of Austria in some listed companies . The company emerged in 2019 from Österreichische Bundes- und Industriebeteiligungen GmbH (ÖBIB), which in turn emerged in 2015 from Österreichische Industrieholding Aktiengesellschaft (ÖIAG) .

Basics

The conversion took place on the basis of the amendment BGBl. I No. 96/2018 to the ÖIAG Act 2000. The law formulates the goals and the mandate of the Federal Government to the ÖBAG:

  • ÖBAG has to defend the interests of the federal government in the case of strategically important investments.
  • ÖBAG takes care to maintain and increase the value of significant federal investments in the interests of business and research and to secure and create jobs in Austria.
  • The new regulation pursues the goal of responsible management and control of federal investments geared towards sustainable and long-term value creation and is therefore committed to the interests of all Austrian taxpayers.
  • ÖBAG implements the strategic decisions of the owner efficiently and professionally.

The focus of the activities is on the benefits for the federal government and for Austrian taxpayers. As the Austrian core shareholder, ÖBAG - on behalf of the republic - is to contribute to strengthening the business location. The companies in which ÖBAG holds a stake offer 36,500 jobs (full-time equivalents). The IHS has calculated that these companies are responsible for 4% of Austrian GDP , including indirect effects . Between 2003 and 2015, ÖBIB paid the federal government a dividend of EUR 2.6 billion.

Holdings

Austrian taxpayers hold company shares valued at EUR 22.9 billion (as of December 31, 2019) through ÖBAG. As of August 2016, ÖBIB held stakes in the following companies:

The Federal Law, Federal Law Gazette I No. 96/2018 , added on January 1, 2019 from direct federal property :

Section 7a of the ÖIAG Act in the version of the Federal Act, Federal Law Gazette I No. 96/2018 also provides that, from January 1, 2019, ÖBAG will administer the federal government's shares in Verbund AG . A transfer of Verbund AG into the ownership of ÖBAG is not possible because the Federal Constitutional Act, which regulates the ownership structure of companies in the Austrian electricity industry, ( Federal Law Gazette I No. 143/1998 ) stipulates that the majority of the shares in Verbund must be in (direct) federal property.

The ÖIAG was involved in the following companies, among others:

The sale of these companies was usually preceded by violent protests from politicians as well as from the unions and works councils.

history

Nationalized industry in Austria

On July 26, 1946, the National Council passed the first nationalization law. This was done to remove companies from the influence of Soviet troops, which began to confiscate them from “German property”. Not only companies founded by the National Socialists, such as the Linz Hermann-Göring-Werke (later VÖEST ), but also old Austrian state-owned companies that had been taken over by the German Reich, such as the First Danube Steamship Company . In total, these were businesses that accounted for a fifth of Austria's added value: the three largest banks in the country, all of the coal and ore mining, all of mineral oil extraction and processing, all of the major heavy industry operations. The nationalized industry was managed directly by the government and its ministries.

From ÖIG to ÖIAG

In the course of reforms by the Klaus II federal government , it was decided in December 1966 with the ÖIG law to transfer the fiduciary exercise of the republic's share rights in nationalized companies to a company. Following the mandate of the legislator, the Österreichische Industrieverwaltungs-Gesellschaft mbH (ÖIG) was founded in 1967 .

With the amendment of the ÖIG law in 1969 from the beginning of 1970, it was decided to convert the ÖIG into a stock corporation. With the Articles of Association of July 7, 1970, the Austrian Industrial Management Corporation, 100% owned by the Republic, was registered at the Vienna Commercial Court on July 29, 1970 ; In May 1972 the Wiener Schwachstromwerke Gesellschaft mbH was merged into the ÖIAG.

Austrian Industries

In 1989 the most important industrial holdings of ÖIAG (such as AMAG, chemical holding, electrical and electronics industrial holding, mechanical and plant engineering holding, OMV and VOEST-ALPINE) were brought into Austrian Industries, a wholly owned subsidiary of ÖIAG. Austrian Industries formed a group that should have been (partially) privatized in its entirety. However, it did not come to that. After a reorganization of the subsidiaries, the group relationship was dissolved and the holding company was entrusted with the privatization of the individual subsidiaries. In March 1994 Austrian Industries was merged with ÖIAG.

ÖIAG Act 2000

With the ÖIAG Act 2000 , ÖIAG was converted into a privatization agency. In addition to the industrial holdings, she also took on responsibility for the area of ​​the former postal and telegraph administration . With effect from May 20, 2000, the two holding companies Post and Telekombeteiligungsverwaltungsgesellschaft and Post and Telekom Austria Aktiengesellschaft were merged with ÖIAG.

In addition, the ÖIAG Act 2000 granted the ÖIAG management extensive independence from its owner, the Republic of Austria, through the creation of a self-supplementing supervisory board. According to the ÖIAG Act 2000, the two thirds of the supervisory board members who would otherwise have to be appointed by the owner are elected by these supervisory board members themselves. This, of course, after the federal government Schüssel itself had completely reappointed the supervisory board. According to the ÖIAG Act 2000, the last third of the members of the supervisory board should be made up of the employee representatives, as is the case with all other stock corporations.

In retrospect, Claus Raidl criticized the self-supplementing supervisory board (quoted from Profil, October 2014):

“What I completely misunderstood in the proposal, which then became law, was that the first new ÖIAG supervisory board members would henceforth cultivate friendship. As a result, an insider clique is in charge of the ÖIAG supervisory board today. My concept has been perverted. The self-renewal became a kind of self-service. "

Privatizations from 2000

The federal government Schüssel I decided to accelerate privatization. By order of the federal government, Österreichische Staatsdruckerei GmbH, Dorotheum GmbH, Print Media Austria AG, Flughafen Wien AG, Österreichische Postsparkasse AG, Telekom Austria AG and Austria Tabak are to be privatized as a priority. According to the law, when selling, the criteria to be considered are the best possible proceeds while taking into account the interests of the company and safeguarding Austrian interests.

Bank involvement in the context of the financial crisis in 2007

In November 2008, due to the financial crisis from 2007 onwards , a subsidiary was founded to coordinate state capital grants to the individual banks. Veit Sorger and Hannes Androsch took over the management of this company, FIMBAG . With the resolution of the Annual General Meeting on March 15, 2013, the company's Articles of Association were revised. In November 2015, the Council of Ministers decided to dissolve FIMBAG on June 30, 2016.

Further development

In 2011 the Telekom affair became public. Several executives at Telekom Austria , in which ÖIAG has a stake, were not legally sentenced (as of December 2014) to imprisonment for various economic offenses. 2014 criticism of the appointment of the as was putin near applicable Siegfried Wolf as its Chairman loud. Subsequently, ÖIAG was criticized after Gerhard Roiss , General Director of OMV, was dismissed one year after the extension of his contract as a result of internal quarrels . The criticism extended to the privatizations of AUA, BUWOG, Dorotheum and other companies, which were disadvantageous for the state.

From ÖIAG to ÖBIB

In February 2015, through an amendment to the ÖIAG Act, the National Council made the decision that ÖIAG should be converted into a limited liability company called Österreichische Bundes- und Industriebeteiligungen GmbH (ÖBIB) . This decision of the National Council was implemented by resolution of the general meeting of the ÖIAG on March 20, 2015.

One of the reasons for the conversion of ÖIAG into a limited liability company was that a board member of a stock corporation is not subject to instructions in the exercise of his office, while a managing director of a limited liability company is bound by the instructions of the owner. With regard to ÖBIB, the Federal Minister of Finance has this right to issue instructions. With the conversion of ÖIAG into ÖBIB, the supervisory board's right to supplement itself, which was introduced in 2000 - which deviates from the German Stock Corporation Act - no longer applies.

The ÖBIB Act also provides for a deviation from the general regulations of the GmbH Act: The supervisory boards of the ÖBIB companies are not selected by the managing director of ÖBIB, but by a nomination committee consisting of two incumbent federal ministers or state secretaries and two generally recognized for their services Entrepreneurs, professionals or executives from business or the public sector. Until January 2018 these were the former Federal Minister Thomas Drozda , the former State Secretary Harald Mahrer , the Chairman of the Board of Andritz AG , Wolfgang Leitner , and the Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Vienna Insurance Group , Günther Geyer. Since January 2018, the committee has consisted of ex-Finance Minister Hartwig Löger , Chancellery Minister Gernot Blümel , Günther Helm ( Hofer KG ) and Wolfgang Leitner (Andritz).

At the last general meeting of ÖIAG, the previous ÖIAG board member Rudolf Kemler was appointed interim managing director of ÖBIB. On June 8, 2015, Martha Oberndorfer, the previous head of the Federal Finance Agency , was appointed Secretary General.

From ÖBIB to ÖBAG

In February 2018 it was announced that Finance Minister Hartwig Löger was planning to convert ÖBIB from a GmbH to a stock corporation. The new ÖBIB law was originally supposed to be adopted by summer 2018 and implemented in the second half of 2018. In October 2018, Löger presented his plans for the new state holding company, ÖBIB is to be converted into ÖBAG, Österreichische Beteiligungs AG .

The nine-member supervisory board of ÖBAG was appointed on February 15, 2019. President was Helmut Kern, his deputies Günther Helm and Karl Ochsner. The supervisory board initially appointed Walter Jöstl as the interim board member and then the 43-year-old Thomas Schmid as the new sole director of the state holding company.

Corruption allegations

Background of the investigation

On March 28, 2021, the Ibiza-U-Committee received new chat messages from the WKStA (Economic and Corruption Prosecutor's Office). Finance Minister Blümel and Öbag board member Thomas Schmid led. The reason for the investigations by the WKStA was due to the investigations into the Casinos-Causa (the appointment of the liberal Peter Sidlo in coordination with the Novomatic). There is now a suspicion that the posts of the liberal Sidlo could be linked to that of Schmid (ÖVP), but this is denied by all those involved.

Most of the information was taken from a cell phone confiscated by Schmid in 2019 and evaluated. This had been reset, but forensic experts were able to restore the calendar contents and partly deleted chat messages. The resulting 187-page report was divided into two chapters: Schmid's appointment and the positions held by Schmid.

Coalition negotiations

In June 2017, for example, the then new ÖVP chairman Kurz gave the Finance Secretary General Schmid the task of addressing the issue of state investments, in which the FPÖ was then involved from November. “Cool deal for ÖVP,” Schmid wrote to Kurz at the time. On October 5, 2018, Schmid informed Finance Minister Blümel “I'm through with Arno [Arnold Schiefer - FPÖ negotiator].” The “good package” for Öbag was as follows: Turquoise sole director at Öbag and two supervisory board positions for the FPÖ. In addition, the positions at ÖBB and the Öbag affiliates were split up. There it was about supervisory board jobs and "top jobs" (according to the news) for example at Bundesimmobiliengesellschaft (BIG), casinos, OMV, Telekom Austria, Verbund and Post.

In December 2017, Schmid Kurz asked to keep the responsibility for investments in the Ministry of Finance and not to shift it to the Ministry of Economic Affairs: “If in the case of economy [meant: Ministry of Economic Affairs, note], the dividends disappear! Bad management there too! ”. A little later he asked Blümel to help him “quickly implement the new participation law! You really owe that to me! ". Schmid continued to write: “Today I am throwing myself into the Danube and it's your fault!” Blümel expressed his understanding: “Yes, it's all a shit (sic!)”.

Hearing to the new Öbag board

Weeks before the hearing on the replacement of the sole director on March 26, 2019, Finance Minister Hartwig Löger was asked by the Chancellery about Schmid's successor in the cabinet. Five days before the hearing he was already considering whether to hold a press conference immediately after his appointment. And on the evening before the hearing, Schmid (“informal and cozy” according to SMS) dined with ÖVP major donor Klaus Ortner, whose daughter had been appointed to the Öbag supervisory board shortly before. According to Schmid's calendar, he met “five of the nine members of the supervisory board apparently in personal meetings” in the two weeks prior to his appointment, as stated in the WKStA's evaluation report.

Immediately after the hearing, Schmid wrote: “The hearing went really well. Was the best. Despite some good applicants ”, as he let Gabriela Spiegelfeld's husband know,“ two top people from Germany ”had applied. The supervisory board was “good” “that I took it so seriously and prepared myself so well”.

On March 27, 2019, Schmid was appointed as the well-paid sole director of the state holding company. A fortnight earlier he had spoken to Chancellor Kurz again about his job requirements. He asked him not to make him “a board member without mandates”. “That would be like Vienna City Council without a portfolio.” Kurz replied, adding three emojis with O-mouths: “You can get everything you want anyway.” Schmid's answer: Two smileys and “I'm so happy :-))) Me love my Chancellor (...). "

Consequences

After the emergence of chat logs about the Öbag boss, the supervisory board emphasized that Schmid would stay. The opposition demanded his resignation.

General directors / board members

General directors included Franz Geist (1971–1978), who unsuccessfully sought the right to issue instructions to the largely autonomous sole proprietorships, Oskar Grünwald (1978–1986), who tried to get by with the limited legal resources, and Hugo Michael Sekyra (1986–1993) who tried unsuccessfully after the nationalized crisis from 1985 to 1986 to turn ÖIAG into a public conglomerate.
