* Role of regional CEOs strengthened

* Board of Director function Technology to be abolished

* Board of Director member for Technology, Ralf Ackermann, leaving

company

Bad Oeynhausen, May 4th 2007 – In line with the engineering of the

organizational structure, Balda AG transfers further responsibilities to

the regional CEOs. The regional CEOs are now assuming responsibility for

areas which so far had been managed by the CTO (Chief Technology Officer).

The global coordination of these issues will continue to be run on Group

level. A separate Board of Directors function, however, is not justified

any longer.

As a consequence, the Board of Directors member Ralf Ackermann,

responsible for Technology, is leaving Balda with immediate effect. The

Supervisory Board of Balda likes to thank Mr. Ackermann for his long

standing contribution to the company.
