Disclosure pursuant to Article 4 (2) Commission Regulation (EC) No
2273/2003

Termination of the Share Buyback Program 2013

The executive board of Software AG resolved on 7 February 2013 to buy back
own shares of the company through the stock exchange in a value of up to
EUR 180 million (excluding ancillary costs) during the period until 31
December 2013.

Within the period from 12 February 2013 up to and including 29 April 2013,
an aggregate number of 3,924,441 own shares were acquired within the share
buyback program at an average purchase price of EUR 29.2701 per share
(total purchase price of EUR 114,868,956.11), corresponding to 4.52% of the
share capital of Software AG.

As of 29 April 2013, Software AG owns an aggregate number of 3,966,818 of
own shares, corresponding to 4.56% of the share capital of Software AG.

The acquisition was effectuated by Commerzbank AG, Frankfurt am Main,
exclusively through the Xetra-trading system of Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

With a view to the general meeting of Software AG which has been invited
for 3 May 2013, the share buyback program is terminated with immediate
effect. This is to ensure that the dividend resolution can be adopted on a
secure basis as concerns the number of shares entitled to receive a
dividend. Furthermore, the general meeting on 3 May 2013 will vote on new
authorizations for the acquisition of own shares and the use of derivatives
in relation to the acquisition of own shares.

Further information on the share buyback program and the relevant
transactions are made available on the internet at: www.softwareag.com.
