[Essen / Germany, 12 March 2019] Based on the preliminary, unaudited figures for the 2018 financial year, the Management Board of secunet Security Networks AG (ISIN DE0007276503, WKN 727650) today resolved to propose to the Supervisory Board a resolution on the appropriation of profits to be submitted to the annual general meeting with respect to the financial year 2018 entailing a dividend payment in the amount of 2.04 Euro per dividend-entitled share. Such total amount comprises a regular dividend in the amount of 1.13 Euro per dividend-entitled share and an additional special dividend in the amount of 0.91 Euro per dividend-entitled share. This corresponds to a regular distribution of 50%, a special distribution of 40% and in total a distribution of 90% of the distributable profits. The dividend payment in the previous year amounted to 1.20 Euro per dividend-entitled share. In such previous year, 50% of the distributable profits were distributed to the shareholders.The special dividend is distributed because of the very successful financial year 2018. The available level of cash and cash equivalents in the amount of 56.0 million Euros as well as the cash generating business model of secunet enable secunet to distribute the special dividend, without adjusting its continued growth-oriented business strategy.This proposal is still subject to the approval by the Supervisory Board. If the Supervisory Board grants its approval, the proposal on the appropriation of profits will be submitted for resolution by the annual general meeting, which is expected to take place on 15 May 2019.
