Bad Oeynhausen, 29th September 2011 - Balda AG, listed on the SDax of the
Frankfurt stock exchange, rejects the reproach published by the Handelsblatt
(29th September 2011). According to the report, the Balda Group´s Chinese
subsidiary - BTO - was purported to have surreptitiously obtained subsidies from
the Chinese government. Balda asserts that: BTO has conducted itself in a
correct and lawful manner. To date, Chinese officials have made no objections
whatsoever. BTO was entitled to the subsidy payments. 

In contrast to the claims published by the Handelsblatt, the total subsidies
received in 2010 amounted not to 54 million Renminbi (6.2 million Euros) but
rather to 1.8 million Renminbi (approx. 0.2 million Euros). According to the
Handelsblatt, the factory used in order to surreptitiously obtain the subsidies
was spurious and did not exist. The truth is: The factory is a newly built,
modern production facility located in the economic zone of Ling Kong, close to
Beijing Airport. The commissioning of the 13,700 m2 production space and start
of production took place in July 2010. An additional subsidy granted to Balda in
China in 2008 - amounting to 17 million Renminbi (around 1.9 million Euros) - on
the occasion of the acquisition of the rights to the plot for the aforementioned
factory, at a cost of 54 million Renminbi (6.2 million Euros), has also resulted
in no objections from Chinese officials.
