Softing AG today announced that based on preliminary figures it generated
consolidated sales of approx. EUR 41 million and consolidated earnings
before interest and taxes (EBIT) of approx. EUR 4.2 million in 2011.
Business continued to be very brisk in the first months of 2012. Softing
expects to record double-digit sales growth from its existing business in
2012, with earnings remaining strong.

Under its non-organic growth strategy, Softing is preparing for one or more
business acquisitions within the next 12 months. Although its liquidity is
good, Softing is securing the availability of the cash funds required for
acquisitions through a capital increase.

The Executive Board of Softing AG therefore resolved today, i.e. on March
5, 2012, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to increase the
Company's share capital from EUR 5,637,198.00 by up to EUR 805,314.00 (i.e.
approx. 14%) to a maximum of EUR 6,442,512.00 by issuing up to 805,314 new
no-par bearer shares with a pro-rata interest of EUR 1.00 per share in the
Company's share capital at an issue price of EUR 4.40 in return for cash
contributions. Shareholders are granted their statutory subscription right.
The subscription ratio is 7:1. Shares not subscribed by the shareholders
will then again be offered exclusively to the Company's shareholders (extra
subscription). Trading in subscription rights will not be offered. The
subscription period will be two weeks. The subscription is scheduled to be
published in the electronic Federal Gazette on March 06, 2012. The
transaction will be managed by Baader Bank AG.
