Nemetschek Group increases dividend for the sixth time in a row and plans share split

- Dividend increases to EUR 0.81 per share (+8%)

- Total of dividends to be distributed grows to EUR 31.2 million

- Stock split ratio of 1:3 planned

Munich, March 21, 2019 - At its meeting today, the supervisory board of Nemetschek SE (ISIN 0006452907) approved the dividend proposed by the executive board. The company thus continues with its sustainable dividend policy and pays out a dividend for the tenth time in a row; this is the sixth consecutive increase. For the 2018 financial year, the supervisory board and the executive board therefore propose an increased dividend in the amount of EUR 0.81 per share (previous year: EUR 0.75 per share) to the annual general meeting on May 28, 2019. Subject to approval by the annual general meeting, this would correspond to a dividend increase of 8%. With 38.5 million shares, the total amount of dividends to be distributed should increase to EUR 31.19 million (previous year: EUR 28.88 million). The dividend payout ratio for the 2018 financial year would thus amount to approximately 31% - in relation to the operating cash flow. At the same time, the Nemetschek Group will continue to invest strategically in order to ensure its future organic and inorganic growth.

Furthermore, the executive and supervisory boards will propose a stock split at a ratio of 1:3 to the annual general meeting. Every shareholder is to receive two additional shares for every Nemetschek share held at no further charge. This is technically carried out by means of a capital increase from the company's own resources. The price of the Nemetschek share is currently quoted at about EUR 135. Given that the overall value remains the same, the estimated price level per share for the shareholders will be divided accordingly by three. The planned stock split is to promote trading in Nemetschek shares and make the share even more attractive to investors. As a result of the split, the share capital of Nemetschek SE would triple from the present 38,500,000 to 115,500,000 no-par value shares.
