STRATEC proposes increase of dividend to EUR 0.75 per share

Birkenfeld, April 11, 2016

The Board of Management and Supervisory Board of STRATEC Biomedical AG
(Frankfurt: SBS; Prime Standard, TecDAX) at their meeting held today
approved the recommendation submitted by the Board of Management to propose
the payment of a dividend of EUR 0.75 per share for the 2015 financial year
for approval by the Annual General Meeting on June 9, 2016 (distribution in
previous year: EUR 0.70 per share). Based on the current total of
11,846,280 shares with dividend entitlement, the proposal corresponds to a
7.7% increase in the distribution total to EUR 8.885 million (previous
year: EUR 8.248 million). STRATEC continues to follow its
shareholder-friendly and continuity-based dividend policy. If approved,
this year's dividend would be the twelfth consecutive increase in the
distribution to shareholders since dividends were first paid in 2004.

Based on preliminary figures announced on March 15, 2016, STRATEC
Biomedical AG increased its sales by 1.4% to EUR 146.9 million in the 2015
financial year. The EBIT margin rose significantly from 16.6% in the
previous year to 18.3%. The final audited results for the 2015 financial
year will be published on April 14, 2016.
