SAP Recommends Dividend Increase

     WALLDORF, Germany — April 2, 2008 — The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board of SAP AG (NYSE:SAP) recommend that shareholders approve a dividend of €0.50 per ordinary share at the Annual General Meeting of shareholders. This represents an increase of 9% percent over the prior year dividend. If the shareholders approve this recommendation the total amount distributed in dividends would be approximately €599 million (based on the outstanding shares as of December 31, 2007), representing a pay-out ratio of 31%.

     The Annual General Meeting is scheduled for June 3, 2008 in Mannheim, Germany. The payment of the dividend is scheduled for or after June 4, 2008.

     Note to holders of SAP ADRs (American Depositary Receipts): One SAP ADR (American Depositary Receipt) represents one SAP AG’s Ordinary share. However, the final dividend is dependent on the Euro/US-Dollar exchange rate. SAP AG pays cash dividends in Euro, so the exchange rate fluctuations will also affect the US-Dollar amounts received by the holders of ADRs on the conversion into US-Dollars of cash dividends paid in Euro on the ordinary shares represented by the ADRs. The final dividend payment by SAP AG to the depositary bank is scheduled for June 4, 2008. The depositary bank will then convert the dividend payment from Euro into US-Dollar as promptly as practicable.
