Männedorf, Switzerland, April 17, 2013 - The Annual General Meeting of the Tecan
Group (SIX Swiss Exchange: TECN) has today endorsed all motions proposed by the

will be paid out in part from the available capital contribution reserve, and
the portion of CHF 1.00 is therefore not subject to withholding tax. The payout
will take place on April 24, 2013.

time, was again accepted by shareholders.
