Bad Oeynhausen (euro adhoc) - Balda AG sets the stage for a partial sale of TPK
shares within the framework of a GDR offering

Bad Oeynhausen, 30 September 2011 - Balda AG, listed on the SDax of the
Frankfurt Stock Exchange, has on September 30 indicated to the Taiwan Stock
Exchange its intention to sell up to 9.5  million shares of the shareholding
held by Balda Investments Singapore (BIS) in the touchscreen producer TPK. In a
joint capital transaction within the framework of a Global Depository
Receipt/GDR-offering both companies intend to place with investors up to 9.5
million existing  shares as held by BIS and 16 up to 20 million newly issued
shares from a capital increase decided by  TPK today. This joint offering is
expected to be completed successfully in the fourth quarter 2011. JP Morgan
Securities Ltd. and Nomura International (Hong Kong) Ltd. as the consortium
managers will be responsible for the placement.

By selling the shares Balda will be able to partially capitalize on its
investment in TPK in a market-sensitive way.  Through the joint offering the
shares shall be sold at adequate conditions.  The parties involved act on the
assumption that due to the planned joint placement with selected investors the
recent speculation having influenced the share price development will be
minimized. That should have a positive impact on the proceeds to be expected for
Balda.
