Bad Oeynhausen (euro adhoc) - Balda-shareholding in TPK makes a
strong stock market debut

Bad Oeynhausen, 22nd November 2010 - Three weeks after the IPO of
the touch screen manufacturer TPK at the Taipeh Stock Exchange on
29th October 2010 the share price of the company has settled within
a stable range. Following on from the issue price of 220 Taiwanese
dollars (5,30 euros) and a closing price on the first day of
trading of 505 Taiwanese dollars (12,16 euros), the share price of
TPK, in which the Frankfurt Stock Exchange listed Balda AG owns
16,1% has stabilised at a share price above 500 Taiwanese dollars.

Balda's Chief Financial Officer Rainer Mohr is extremely satisfied
with the listing of TPK: "The development of the stock market share
price of TPK is moving at the upper end of our expectations. The
shareholding is a very valuable asset for Balda." Last Friday
(November 19th) the TPK share closed at 545 Taiwanese dollars (13,12
euros) from the stock exchange trading. The enterprise value of
the current world's largest touch-screen manufacturer stood at this
stock price at 122,1 billion Taiwanese dollars (2.94 billion euros).
The value of the shareholding of Balda in TPK thus

reached 473,3 million euros. TPK develops and supplies, among others,
touch-screen systems for Apple's iPhone, iPad and iPod products.
