Balda AG: Closure of bank agreements on new financial structure in

September

Bad Oeynhausen – Against its previous plans, the final discussions of Balda

AG with the banks about the realignment of the financial structure does not

take place at the end of August, but will be expected in the course of

September 2008. The banks have extended the standstill agreement with Balda

accordingly.

Reason for the deferment is the aspired involvement of the financing in the

running restructuring process. Beside the sale of non operating assets and

the as discontinued operation qualified subsidiary Balda Medical, it also

contains the financing and reorganisation of the existing Joint Ventures

and foreign investments.
