Today, Balda AG’s Supervisory Board agreed with regard to the actuarial

reporting obligation and foreclosure periods terminating as of December 31,

2014, to claim damages on behalf of the company against the former

Supervisory Board Members Dr. Michael Naschke, Yu-Sheng Kai and Chun-Chen

Chen. The Supervisory Board also resolved to include the former sole member

of the Board of Directors, Rainer Mohr, in its claim for damages.

The former Board members are accused of breach of duty in relation to the

intended sale of shares of TPK Holding Co. in July 2011, in that the TPK

shares could only be sold at a later point in time, when their price was

significantly lower. According to current evaluations, the potential

damages amount to a figure in the two-digit million range.
