Company Information/Contracts

Wien (euro adhoc) - Vienna, July 26, 2013 - The recent developments
regarding the share price of Kapsch TrafficCom are "incomprehensible"
explains Georg Kapsch, CEO Kapsch TrafficCom. The Vienna stock market
reacted poorly to the disclosure that the commercial start of the
Electronic Toll Collection System in Gauteng, a South African
province, will not be effected mid July as previously considered.
Kapsch was awarded the contract to implement the toll system in
September 2009. The installation of the system was carried out
quickly and efficiently however, various intended start-dates over
the last few months have been postponed due to a variety of protests,
interventions and objections. "The situation regarding the project
has not changed over the last month, therefore there is no rationale
for the sudden market reaction", stresses Kapsch. "Our system is
ready to go and we are calmly waiting for a definite date to start
with the commercial operation."

The recent reports on the financial situation of the South African
National Road Agency (SANRAL) clearly show that an urgent decision
and an immediate start are desirable. The South African Government
decided in 2009 that the maintenance and development of the road
system in Gauteng will be funded by electronic tolling. "The delays
jeopardize jobs and endanger the country's infrastructure",
underlines Kapsch. "We are confident that governmental authorities in
South Africa will act promptly and that all necessary steps will be
taken soon."

Zwtl.: 18,000 installed toll lanes, 80 million On-Board Units sold
"Our company is involved in many successful projects around the
world, and we are acting as a global provider", explains Kapsch.
Kapsch TrafficCom has already installed 18,000 toll lanes around the
globe. Kapsch has sold 80 million On- Board Units worldwide and has
references from 43 countries on all continents. These include among
others the successful tolling projects in Austria, Czech Republic and
Poland as well as the ten year technology and service contract with
the United States' E-ZPass Group, the world's largest interoperable
toll collection system.
