Hamm, May 7, 2013 - SMT Scharf AG (WKN/German Securities Number 575198,
ISIN DE0005751986) announces the sale of its subsidiary Dosco Holdings Ltd.

SMT Scharf AG, Hamm, Germany, has today sold its wholly-owned subsidiary
Dosco Holdings Ltd., Tuxford, United Kingdom, to an acquisition vehicle
involving Dosco's management team. At the same time, all SMT Scharf board
members are stepping down from their management roles at Dosco.
Consequently, no connection will exist between SMT Scharf and Dosco in the
future.

The sale price amounts to EUR 2.0 million, with an initial installment of
EUR 1.5 million being paid immediately, and the residual EUR 0.5 million
remaining as a vendor loan carrying a 6 % p.a. interest rate, to be repaid
within five years at the latest. Besides this, the Scharf Group will incur
no secondary liabilities for Dosco's liabilities, especially not in
connection with the Dosco pension fund.

SMT Scharf's strategic concentration on its core business of captivated
railway systems is the reason for this step.
