SAP AG or any of its direct or indirect majority holdings on or before May 24, 2016 by virtue of the authorization resolved by the General Meeting of Shareholders of May 25, 2011 exercise their conversion or option rights and no other
methods for servicing these rights are used. The new shares shall in each case be issued at the conversion or option price to be determined in accordance with the above authorization resolution. The new shares shall participate in the profits as

appropriation of retained earnings for the year has been adopted.

subscription rights are excluded. The new shares may be used exclusively to grant shares to employees of SAP AG and its downstream affiliates (employee shares). In this context, the new shares may also be issued to a bank or other entity
meeting the requirements of Section 186 (5) sentence 1 AktG which subscribes the shares subject to an undertaking to use them exclusively for the purpose of granting employee shares. Insofar as this is permitted by law, shares may be
issued to employees in such a manner that the contribution to be paid on such shares is covered by a part of the profit for the year which the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board may allocate to other revenue reserves under Section 58
(2) AktG. The employee shares may also be procured by a bank or other entity meeting the requirements of Section 186 (5) sentence 1 AktG by way of securities loans, with the new shares being used to redeem such securities loans.

|2. | In the first three months of each fiscal year, the Executive Board shall prepare the annual financial statements, the consolidated annual financial
statements, the review of operations, and the review of group operations for the previous fiscal year and submit them to the Supervisory Board and to the auditor. At that time the Executive Board shall submit to the Supervisory Board the proposal it
wishes to make to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders concerning the appropriation of retained earnings. These provisions do not affect the provisions in the German Commercial Code, sections 298 (3) and 315 (3).
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Supervisory Boards report pursuant to the German Stock Corporation Act, section 171 (2), and the Executive Boards proposal for the appropriation of the retained earnings shall be available for the shareholders inspection at the
offices of the Company from the time when the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders is called. The obligations under the foregoing sentence shall not apply if the specified documents are made available on the Companys website for the same
period of time.
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|4. | Each year, after receiving the Supervisory Boards report pursuant to the German Stock Corporation Act, section 171 (2), the Annual General
Meeting of Shareholders shall resolve within the first eight months of the fiscal year on the formal approval of the acts of the Executive and Supervisory Boards, the appropriation of the retained earnings, the appointment of the auditor, and in the
cases provided for by law, the adoption of the annual financial statements, and approval of the consolidated annual financial statements.

earnings to be distributed that exceeds the dividend paid on ordinary shares by at least 1 euro cent and is equal to not less than 1 euro cent per preference share. In the event that the retained earnings of a fiscal year
are not sufficient to pay the preferred amount pursuant to sentence 1, the retained earnings of the subsequent fiscal year shall first be used to pay the arrears without interest before the entire preferred amount for that fiscal year is distributed
to the holders of preference shares. In the event of there being outstanding preferred amounts for several fiscal years, the retained earnings shall first be used to pay the arrears without interest in the order of their accrual, and when all
arrears have been paid, the remainder shall be used to pay the preferred amount for the fiscal year preceding the dividend distribution. The right to back payment constitutes part of the share in the profits of that fiscal year of which the retained
earnings are used to make the back payment on the preference shares.
