Company Information/Supervisory Board

Bad Oeynhausen (euro adhoc) - Family entrepreneur Wilfried Niemann
and financial expert Irene Schetelig succeed Yu-Sheng Kai and Ted
Gerlach on the control committee

Bad Oeynhausen, 26 February 2013 - Balda AG today announced changes
in the composition of its three-member Supervisory Board. Two
Supervisory Board members, Yu-Sheng Kai and Ted Gerlach, resigned
from their posts effective 28 February 2013. The Bad Oeynhausen Local
Court appointed Wilfried Niemann (67) and Irene Schetelig (42) as new
members of the control committee, following the Company's proposal.

Wilfried Niemann has been managing director of the family-owned
enterprise Karl W. Niemann GmbH & Co KG, since 1980. The company
headquartered in Preußisch Oldendorf is a supplier to the furniture
industry and operates production sites in Germany and abroad. Mr.
Niemann is an experienced and respected entrepreneur who is deeply
rooted in the East Westphalia region. In his long-standing
professional career, Mr. Niemann has held numerous offices in
professional and trade associations. Since 2012, he has been Chairman
of the Association of the Wood and Plastics Processing Industries for
the Westphalia Lippe region.

Irene Schetelig holds a degree in business administration and has
many years of experience in international listed companies. She is
currently Controller and Director Product and Product Marketing at
Youtailor GmbH in Berlin. Before that, she held several positions as
a controller and analyst with the Finnish company Nokia Oyi, at
Coca-Cola in Essen and at Adidas AG in Herzogenaurach.

Neither Wilfried Niemann nor Irene Schetelig have personal or
business relationships with the Balda Group. Therefore, they meet
the requirement of the German Corporate Governance Code that
Supervisory Board members shall be independent.

Dr. Michael Naschke, lawyer and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of
Balda AG: "With the appointment of Irene Schetelig and Wilfried
Niemann, Balda has secured the services of two established
personalities with different professional backgrounds. Balda takes
into account the requirements of good corporate governance by
incorporating a wide range of expertise and experience in its
Supervisory Board. We want to continue on the successful course we
have set for our company and our shareholders."
