operating business including its sales revenues, costs and income would be
removed from the Balda Group as per 1 July 2015.

Under the proviso of the Annual General Meeting's approval, the Supervisory
Board and the Management Board, due to the sale, also suggest to pay out an
extraordinary dividend in the amount of EUR 1.10 per share and to reduce
the share capital at a 10:1 ratio from EUR 58.9 million to EUR 5.9 million.
This would result in another payout in the amount of EUR 0.90 per share.

Moreover, on the occasion of the Annual General Meeting on 19 November 2015
a decision will have to be made regarding the new business purpose and the
new company name of the Group.
