Balda AG extends supervisory board

• Shareholders approve proposals of the Board of Directors by the clear
majority of nearly 100 percent

• Supervisory board enlarged by three members to six members

• End to lawsuit filed because of negligent advice

• New orders for China and Malaysia

Bad Oeynhausen / Bielefeld, 25 May 2010 – At the 11th general annual meeting
the shareholders of the specialist in plastics Balda consistently approved the
proposals of the company´s board of directors by a clear majority despite
critical voices from shareholders. At the annual meeting around 200
shareholders represented 40.082 percent of the total capital of Balda AG
amounting to 54.147 million euros. By the clear majority of over 95 percent the
shareholders of the company listed in the SDax segment of the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange elected three further members into the supervisory board of the
company on 25 May 2010 in Bielefeld. Chief financial officer Rainer Mohr
reported on the end of the lawsuit filed because of negligent advice. At the
end of last week Balda agreed on a consistent positive out-of-court settlement.
With this step a lengthy litigation with the appeals process was avoided. Chief
executive officer Michael Sienkiewicz pointed out the major order by a German
company of electronic products for Balda Malaysia. The delivery would start in
mid-July.

By amendment of the company´s statute the annual meeting enlarged the
supervisory body of Balda AG from three to six members. Conditionally until the
end of the annual meeting of 2012 the shareholders newly elected the following
members to the supervisory board almost unanimously: Dr. Michael Naschke,
lawyer and partner of the law firm van Aubel, Berlin. Furthermore, Yu-Sheng
Kai, managing director of Time Asia Capital Resources Limited, Hong Kong, with
residency in Taipei, Taiwan, and Chun-Chen Chen, chairman of TVM Corporation
and Touch Video Monitor Corporation, Taipei, Taiwan.

In their board of directors´ report chief executive officer Michael Sienkiewicz
in particular presented Balda´s new strategy with the three segments: plastic
assemblies in China, electronic products in Malaysia and medical technology in
Germany. Sienkiewicz showed optimism for 2010 and, especially, 2011. Chief
financial officer Rainer Mohr particularly laid out the opportunities and risks
of further growth of the Group.
