Vienna, April 9, 2010. Kapsch TrafficCom AG (ISIN AT000KAPSCH9),
listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange in the prime market segment,
indirectly subscribes for new shares in TMT Services and Supplies
(Proprietary) Limited (TMT) representing 51.43% of the increased
share capital of TMT. The subscription consideration is Rand 75
million (approximately EUR 7.4 million).

Among its shareholding in various subsidiaries, TMT is a 35%
participant in the Electronic Toll Collection joint venture (ETC), in
which Kapsch TrafficCom holds the remaining 65%, which is the venture
to which the contract for the implementation and operations of a
multi-lane free-flow tolling system (also known as open road tolling
- ORT) in the Gauteng province (GORT system) in South Africa has been
awarded to by the South African National Roads Agency Ltd (SANRAL) in
September 2009.

All of the existing shareholders of TMT, which includes the three
founders of the company and Matemeku TMT (Proprietary) Limited, a
black economic empowerment investor, will remain shareholders in TMT.

The injection of new equity into TMT and the presence of Kapsch
TrafficCom as a strategic shareholder should place TMT in a strong
position to take advantage of existing and upcoming opportunities
that are expected to become available in the Southern African market.

TMT Services and Supplies (Proprietary) Limited is one of the leaders
in the design, development, deployment, maintenance and operation of
transport management solutions in South Africa. TMT commenced

long-term traffic management contracts in South Africa including but
not limited to speed enforcement contracts with the City of
Johannesburg and Mpumalanga Province (the first end-to-end full
service contract awarded at South African provincial level). The
identified business sector of TMT is the provision of transport
technology infrastructure, systems, solutions and related operational
services, collectively known as Intelligent Transport Systems,
required by all three tiers of government and in limited cases the
private sector. The offering of these transport solutions includes
the planning, design, development, servicing, and operation. TMT´s
current focus is on the Southern African market. The TMT management
team has extensive experience in traffic management, specifically in
South Africa, where they have gained valuable experience over the
last three decades. With its more than 400 employees, TMT generated
consolidated revenues of Rand 175.6 million (approximately EUR 17.4
