Annual & Special Corporate Meetings

Wettenberg (euro adhoc) - (Wettenberg, June 14, 2012) - The Annual
General Meeting of PVA TePla AG, Wettenberg, a manufacturer of
silicon crystallization systems as well as vacuum and
high-temperature systems, was held yesterday at the Gießen Congress
Center. The items on the agenda were passed with a large majority and
47% of shareholders were in attendance.

In his speech to the shareholders and guests, the Chairman of the
Management Board of PVA TePla Dr. Arno Knebelkamp discussed fiscal
year 2011. Both the consolidated sales revenues for 2011 of around
EUR 133 million and the EBIT margin of 10.3% - again at a pleasingly
high level for a manufacturer of equipment and machinery - were
slightly higher than expected. The company thus followed on
seamlessly from the quality of the previous years' results in 2011,
despite the crisis in the photovoltaics industry. The major strategic
goal of establishing an additional product area in the Industrial
Systems division as a fourth pillar alongside the existing activities
in sintering, brazing and graphite processing was also described. CFO
Arnd Bohle then discussed the consolidated financial statements for
2011 and the figures for the first quarter of the current fiscal year
and concluded by giving the shareholders an outlook for the current
fiscal year. The forecast of consolidated annual sales revenues of
EUR 120 million - EUR 130 million and an EBIT margin of 8% - 10% was
confirmed.
