JENSEN-GROUP N.V.

Earnings Release • May 16, 2013

Under Embargo until 16/05/2013 17.45 CET Regulated information

Press Release

Activities first quarter at the same level as last year

Trading update 1st quarter 2013

Revenue during Q1 was 58.9 million euro, 0.8% lower as compared to the same period in 2012.

The order backlog at the end of March 2013 was 15.9% lower than at the end of March 2012.

Based on the above, JENSEN-GROUP expects a first half-year result to be similar to that of last year. As in previous years, the Group does not provide full year guidance. We remain prudent as the economic uncertainty affects the investment climate and consequently our order intake and sales. The most important risk factors remain rapid changes in demand, high exchange rate volatility and fluctuating raw material, energy and transport prices.

During the Annual Shareholders Meeting of May 21, 2013, the Board of Directors will propose to pay out same dividend as last year, namely a gross dividend of 0.25 euro per share. Subject to approval during the Annual Shareholders meeting, the dividend will be payable as from May 31, 2013 at the counters of KBC Bank.
