06.12.2007 13:29

—————————————————————————

Balda may set subscription price above stock market price

– Strong demand and binding obligation of the main shareholders to

subscribe for all new shares at 10 euros allow for new pricing formula

– Subscription price expected to be laid down on December 10, 2007;

maximum subscription price 11.50 euros per new share

Bad Oeynhausen, December 6, 2007. Balda has announced that in view of the

strong demand for the new shares from the capital increase, and in view of

the binding subscription obligations of the main shareholders, it is

possible that the subscription price may be set at a level higher than the

reference price derived from the stock market price and thus may possibly

also be higher than the stock market price. The maximum subscription price,

however, is to be 11.50 euros.

A corresponding addendum to the prospectus (Wertpapierprospekt) dated

November 29, 2007 has been approved by the Bundesanstalt für

Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht (Federal Financial Supervisory Agency) and

published on the website of the company (www.balda.de/ir/). The

subscription price is expected to be published on December 10, 2007 before

trading begins (9.00 CET) in the form of an ad hoc announcement and under

www.balda.de/ir/.
