Balda AG announces:

– Annual balance sheet press conference on April 22, 2008

– Banks supporting next moves

Bad Oeynhausen, March 31, 2008. Balda today announced that the annual

balance sheet press conference for the completed 2007 fiscal year will be

taking place on April 22, 2008 in Frankfurt. The report on the first

quarter of 2008 will be published on May 7, 2008. A date for this year’s

annual general meeting will be announced shortly.

The restructuring of the repurchased Balda Solutions Group with the

European Infocom companies Balda Solutions Deutschland GmbH, Balda

Werkzeug- und Vorrichtungsbau GmbH, and Balda Solutions Hungaria Kft. is

currently in full flow. Parallel to this, talks are being held with

potential buyers on the sale of the companies and on the best-possible

manner to continue the respective business areas.

Balda fulfills all the conditions placed by the banks so as to avoid the

calling of their loans. The company now has the necessary flexibility in

terms of time to reorder its financing structure to take into account the

strategic and geographic orientation.

‘The repurchase of the European Infocom subsidiaries has delayed the work

on the annual financial statements. We can now announce a date for the

balance sheet press conference. Moreover, the restructuring measures are

being consistently continued and our ideas for the refinancing have met

with a broad consensus,’ said Dr. Dirk Eichelberger, the CFO of Balda AG.
