ElringKlinger AG proposes 12.5% increase in dividend

Dettingen/Erms, March 22, 2013 +++ In keeping with its consistent
dividend policy that reflects current earnings performance,
ElringKlinger AG will be proposing an increase in its regular
dividend payable for the 2012 financial year.

While sales revenue rose by 9.1% to EUR 1,127.2 (1,032.8) million in
2012, the Group managed to lift its net income after non-controlling
interests and adjusted for non-recurring items by 9.6% to a record
level of EUR 85.9 (78.4) million.

The Management Board and Supervisory Board of ElringKlinger AG will
propose to the Annual General Meeting resolving on the 2012 financial
year a regular dividend of EUR 0.45 (0.40) per share, up 12.5%
compared to the previous year. The Annual General Meeting will
convene on May 16, 2013, at the Liederhalle Culture and Congress
Center in Stuttgart.

The number of shares entitled to a dividend in respect of the 2012
financial year remains unchanged year on year at 63,359,990.

The dividend payout will total EUR 28.5 million. Calculated on the
basis of applicable net income of the parent company ElringKlinger
AG, amounting to EUR 56.5 million, the dividend ratio for the 2012
financial year thus stands at 50.4%.

In 2012, shareholders had received an extra dividend of EUR 0.18 per
share in addition to the regular dividend. The extra dividend was
attributable to one-time income from the sale of the Ludwigsburg
industrial park in 2011.
