Bad Oeynhausen (euro adhoc) - Balda share: Brilliant Comeback 2009

Bad Oeynhausen, 18 January 2010 - By returning to profitability and
securing its funding in the fall of 2009, Balda AG has pulled off a
brilliant performance in its share price development. The shares of
the mobile phone supplier, listed in the Prime Standard of the
Frankfurt Stock Exchange, opened in 2009 at a price of 0.52 euros. In
the course of the year the price of the stock exploded by 571 percent
and at year-end amounted to 3.49 euros. This comeback made the stock
to one of the upward climbers of the year in the Prime Standard
segment. The stock continues its good performance in 2010 (closing
price on Friday, 15 January 2010: 3,89 euros). 2009 Balda trade
volume (Frankfurt and Xetra) totalled approximately 48.6 million
shares. With the publication of the turnaround, the stock market
turnover in the fourth quarter alone amounted to approximately 23.3
million shares or 63.1 million euros. In the past fiscal year Balda
increased its market capitalization by 160.3 million euros to 189
million euros (previous year: 28.7 million euros). With respect to
