Further sales revenue and order intake growth in 2012

Gleisdorf/Vienna, April 11, 2013

As anticipated, Binder+Co AG shareholders took positive note of the
2012 financial statements presented at yesterday’s Annual General
Meeting. In an uneven but generally favourable economic climate, the
Gleisdorf-based processing, environmental and packaging technology
specialist achieved further growth during the past year. Sales
revenues in 2012 amounted to EUR 87.16 million and were therefore
6.7% higher than in the preceding year, while at EUR 8.41 million,
EBIT remained at roughly the 2011 level of EUR 8.54 million.
Moreover, order intake was further expanded, rising 13.8% to EUR
98.53 million.

Following the approval granted by yesterday’s Annual General Meeting,
Binder+Co will pay its shareholders a dividend of EUR 1.10 per share
for 2012 (2011: EUR 1.10). The ex-dividend date is April 12, 2013,
and the dividend payment date April 16, 2013.

Management Board member Karl Grabner: “With the agreed dividend we
have underlined our commitment to offer our shareholders reasonable
participation in the success of the company.”

Following the reappointment of Kurt Berger, Erhard Grossnigg,
Alexander Liaunig and Erhard Schaschl, who already sat on the
Supervisory Board, Thomas Jost and Veit Sorger were newly elected as
Board members. Following the end of their period in office, Herbert
Liaunig, the Board chairman to date, and the long-term Board member,
Gerhard Heldmann, were no longer available for re-election. The
Management Board paid tribute to their services for Binder+Co since
the beginning of the 1990s and on behalf of the entire workforce
thanked them for their decades of commitment, through which they have
exerted a major influence upon the successful development of the
company. At its subsequent constituent meeting, the Supervisory Board
elected Thomas Jost as its chairman and Alexander Liaunig as
vice-chairman.

The AGM also agreed to a resolution regarding the approval of what is
already the company’s third share repurchasing programme and
authorized the Management Board to buy back own shares in accordance
with Section 65 para 1 subpara 4 of the Austrian Stock Corporation
Act for the purpose of issue to employees, managerial staff and
members of the Management Board. This authorization is granted for a
period of 30 months following approval of the resolution and
therefore applies until October 10, 2015.

In the course of the preceding Binder+Co buy-back programmes, 129,914
shares, or 3.46% of share capital have been repurchased. Following
the exercise of the entitlements from the stock option programme
amounting to 44,366 shares, as at the closing date of April 10, 2013,
Binder+Co holds a total of 85,548 own shares or 2.28% of stock.

The Binder+Co Group Binder+Co is a specialist in the field of
processing, environmental and packaging technology and the world
market leader in the screening and glass recycling segments. The
company was listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange at the end of 2006
and is now part of the Third Market in the mid market segment. The
Binder+Co Group consists of Binder+Co AG, the three fully owned
subsidiaries Comec-Binder S.r.l., Bublon GmbH and Binder+Co Machinery
(Tianjin) Ltd., as well as the Statec Binder GmbH joint venture
(50.7%). In 2010, Binder+Co was awarded the Austrian National
Innovation Prize for its successful implementation of inventive
capacity. Moreover, in 2011 it received both the Austrian National
Prize for Work Safety for its introduction of special safety measures
for apprentices, and the Best Open Innovator Award of the Zeppelin
University Friedrichshafen as the top SME in the D-A-CH region. In
2012, Binder+Co was awarded the TRIGOS Sustainability Prize as a
leading Styrian company.
