4 March 2014

GFT Technologies AG: 0.20 euro dividend planned, profit forecast for 2013
exceeded

The management board and supervisory board of GFT Technologies AG have
decided today to propose to the general meeting that the dividend for 2013
be increased by 33 per cent to 0.20 euro per share (0.15 euro per share in
the preceding year). This dividend corresponds to a distribution amount of
5.27 million euros (3.95 million euros in the preceding year) and therefore
a significantly lower rate of dividend (just under 39%) - based on the
ratio of dividend amount to group annual net earnings - than in the
preceding years (approx. 48%). GFT will aim for a rate of dividend between
40 and 50 per cent in the future.

According to preliminary calculations, the EBT forecast for the 2013
financial year of around 16 million euros will be exceeded. The company is
now assuming that the EBT 2013 will be around 17.52 million euros. At
approx. 20.49 million euros, EBITDA will also be higher than expected by
nearly 1.49 million euros (previous forecast: around 19 million euros).
Group turnover for 2013 is expected to be 264.29 million euros and
therefore slightly above the previous forecast of 260 million euros.

As announced, the company will publish the further preliminary results of
the 2013 financial year on 5 March 2014.
