- General meeting adopts another dividend payout
- Management Board expects consolidated revenue of around EUR 110 million
in 2008

Schwandorf, 6 May 2008 – The general meeting of Nabaltec AG, a leading
supplier of mineral-based flame retardants and raw materials for technical
ceramics, approved the proposal from the management board and supervisory
board today calling after 2007 for another dividend payout of EUR 0.10 per
share in 2008. The other proposals were also approved by a large majority,
indicating that the shareholders continue to support the management board's
direction of the company.

The management board reported positive operating results in 2007, as
revenue rose by 23.0% to EUR 88.1 million. Consolidated earnings after
minority interests improved from EUR -0.2 million to EUR 0.2 million. This
positive trend is expected to continue in 2008. Gerhard Witzany, Member of
the Management Board of Nabaltec AG, described the company's position as
follows: 'We expect consolidated revenue of around EUR 110 million in 2008,
which would represent an increase of around 25%. This development will be
approved by the increase in revenue in the first Quarter 2008. Thus, we
would not only continue but accelerate our growth of the previous years. We
also plan to improve our earnings considerably over 2007.' In order to meet
these goals, the company aims to improve and optimize existing products
while also marketing new products and new product applications. The company
will invest over EUR 35 million in its Schwandorf site in 2008, which,
amongst others, will go towards further expanding its halogen-free flame
retardant fillers capacity, process optimization in the ceramic raw
materials segment and the construction of a new production plant for
additives.

Detailed information about the business development in the first quarter of
2008 will be published on 27 May in the quarterly report.
