(Wettenberg, June 20, 2013) - The annual general meeting of PVA TePla AG,
Wettenberg, a manufacturer of silicon crystallization systems, vacuum and
high-temperature systems, took place yesterday at Gießen Congress Center.
All items on the agenda were passed with a large majority and 45% of
shareholders were in attendance.

The CEO of PVA TePla, Dr. Arno Knebelkamp, delivered a presentation to the
shareholders and guests on fiscal 2012 and provided an outlook for
developments in the current fiscal year. In a market environment that was
difficult from the second half of 2012 in particular, the Group generated
consolidated sales revenues of EUR 103 million and satisfactory operating
earnings of EUR 6.6 million. A program launched at the end of 2012/start of
2013 to cut staff and operating costs was explained to shareholders in
detail. Later, the current market positioning of individual business units
was described and the acquisitions performed in the past twelve months were
explained. A basis for more profitable growth in future has been created
with the aid of the measures taken. CFO Arnd Bohle then discussed the 2012
consolidated financial statements and the figures for the first quarter of
the current fiscal year.

In the subsequent round of discussion, the questions from shareholders and
shareholder representatives about the company and the items on the agenda
were answered extensively.

On behalf of the entire Supervisory Board, the Chairman of the Supervisory
Board Alexander von Witzleben thanked Arnd Bohle, the long-serving member
who has now left the Management Board, for his work.
