a two-year period. Dr. Dieter Brenken, who has been active as Chief
Financial Officer to date, is to leave the company at the end of October.
The interim manager was appointed for this period to oversee and implement
Balda's transformation and consolidation process. Dr. Brenken has made a
significant contribution to the reorientation of Balda's international
activities and commercial management. The company has simplified its
structures during the past financial year, and reorganized its segments
according to regions.

"We are sorry that Dr. Brenken is leaving us, and we would like to thank
him very much for his commitment in having helped restore Balda AG to a
condition of fitness for the future. Balda was able to launch and
successfully implement the necessary transformation processes over the past
year due to his enormous experience," commented Dr. Thomas van Aubel,
Supervisory Board Chairman of Balda AG, before adding: "Also on behalf of
all of our employees, the Supervisory and Management boards of Balda AG
would like to wish Dr. Brenken all the best for the future, both
professionally and personally."

The 2013 / 2014 annual report of Balda AG will be published on 10 October
2014, when it will be available for downloading from the company's website
