Balda AG proposes dividend of EUR 2.00 per share for the short financial year
2012


Bad Oeynhausen, 20th September 2012 - The Board of Directors and Supervisory
Board of Balda AG have today agreed to propose the payment of a dividend of
EUR 2.00 per share for the short financial year 2012 (1st January to 30th June
2012) at the Annual General Meeting on 7th November 2012. In doing so, EUR 117.8
million would be distributed. The dividend is being proposed as a result of the
high proceeds collected from the sales of shares in touchscreen manufacturer
TPK Holding Co., Ltd. in the short financial year.

Thanks to the impact on earnings from these share sales, Balda reported Group
net earnings of EUR 250.7 million for the reporting period (Calendar year 2011:
minus EUR 39.1 million). As expected, the Group's operating earnings before
interest, taxes and special write-downs remained negative at minus EUR 5.8
million (Calendar year 2011: minus EUR 6.0 million). Earnings were affected by,
amongst other things, delayed call-off orders in the Medical and Electronic
Products segments. Group sales from January to June 2012 amounted to EUR 24.7
million (Calendar year 2011: EUR 66.3 million). Balda AG's consolidated
financial statements for the short financial year are published today.
