Bad Oeynhausen (euro adhoc) - Balda AG: Another milestone reached in
the restructuring

Bad Oeynhausen, 19 May 2010 - Balda AG, listed in the SDax segment
on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, has sold its direct and indirect
shareholdings in Balda Motherson Solution Ltd. amounting to 60
percent to Motherson Sumi Systems Limited.

The parties agreed not to disclose the purchase price. The joint
venture based in south Indian Chennai did not achieve the objectives
initially set for the production of plastic assemblies for
leading mobile phone manufacturers. After careful consideration of
the opportunities and risks Balda AG sees no improving market
prospects for the production site in the future, particularly
because high investments would be necessary. By ending

the commitment in India Balda AG has reached another milestone in the
restructuring.
