Valuation of the companies
26.04.2010
In connection with the contemplated merger, Ernst & Young GmbH 
Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, having been retained by Software AG 
and IDS Scheer AG, has determined the anticipated values (capitalised
earnings value (Ertragswert) plus special values (Sonderwerte)) of 
Software AG and IDS Scheer AG as of 8 July 2010 (date of the general 
meeting of IDS Scheer AG) based on the "Principles for the 
Performance of Business Valuations (IDW S 1 as of 2008)" (Grundsätze 
zur Durchführung von Unternehmensbewertungen (IDW S 1 i.d.F. 2008)) 
as follows:
Software AG: enterprise value million EUR 3,934.2; value per Software
AG-share EUR 138.96 IDS Scheer AG: enterprise value million EUR 
540.3; value per IDS Scheer-share EUR 16.74.
The valuation is preliminary and may change, in particular (without 
limitation) if, until completion of the valuation process, 
significant valuation parameters such as the market environment, the 
economic situation of the companies or the interest level 
unexpectedly change significantly. This announcement does not contain
any statement with regard to an expected result of the merger audit 
by the court appointed auditor whose audit has not yet been 
completed.
Today, the Management Board of Software AG has discussed the current 
status of the valuation process and takes the view that significant 
changes are not to be expected. The Management Boards of both 
companies presently intend to conduct the negotiations regarding the 
merger exchange ratio based on the values of the companies as 
determined in accordance with IDW S 1. The final decision of the 
Management Board and the Supervisory Board of Software AG on the 
merger based on the final valuation and the results of the 
negotiations with IDS Scheer AG will be taken presumably end of May 
2010.
The Management Board of Software AG will provide further information 
on the contemplated merger at the occasion of the publication of the 
first quarter results of the business year 2010 at the press 
conference (27 April 2010, 11:00 CEST in German) and at the analyst 
conference (27 April 2010, 13:00 CEST in English).
Dial-in details for the analyst conference are published on the 
website of Software AG at
