Ad hoc Release
013080900

Moscow/Vienna, 12 November 2012 - Kapsch TrafficCom AG (ISIN
AT000KAPSCH9), listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange in the prime
market segment, announces that LLC Kapsch TrafficCom Russia has
withdrawn from the joint venture OOO United Toll Systems (UTS). UTS
is the joint venture that was awarded a contract for maintenance of
the toll-based operation of the Russian M-4 Don motorway in December
2011. Kapsch TrafficCom Russia held a share of 33.3 percent in this
joint venture. The joint venture partner Mostotrest takes over these
shares in UTS. The deal will amount to EUR 6 million and is expected
to close by the end of 2012.

"The decision was made for reasons of company strategy", says Michael
Weber, member of the Board at Kapsch TrafficCom Russia. "Kapsch is an
experienced supplier of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Our
primary focus is therefore not the operation of roads but to build
and operate advanced toll systems and ITS solutions. Consequently, we
want to continue to concentrate on other strategic projects and ITS
opportunities in Russia, such as city access solutions, other toll
projects and the upcoming tender for a national toll system",
explains Weber. General Director of Mostotrest Vladimir Vlasov adds:
"We are pleased that Kapsch TrafficCom Russia is remaining our
partner in providing consulting services and technical support for
the project's implementation."

New leadership for Kapsch Russia

"The Russian market has great potential in our field of business",
emphasizes Erwin Toplak, COO of Kapsch TrafficCom. "We are looking
forward to further cooperation in providing products, solutions and
services for Russian road concessions in general and UTS in
particular. We will therefore focus our efforts in order for our
local organization to be ideally positioned for upcoming projects in
Russia, which are very demanding of resources." As part of this
effort, Boris A. Borisov was appointed the new CEO of Kapsch
TrafficCom Russia on 1 June 2012. Borisov previously held leadership
positions at Motorola and General Electric, as well as a number of
local companies.
