Nabaltec AG successfully places corporate bond issue with a volume of EUR
30 million

- Additional maneuvering room for investments to expand production
- Continuous trading of the security on the Stuttgart Stock Exchange in the
Bondm mid-cap segment

Schwandorf, 8 October 2010 - Nabaltec AG, one of the leading companies in
the chemical industry focused on eco-friendly flame retardants and raw
materials for technical ceramics, successfully placed its first corporate
bond with a volume of EUR 30 million. The security has a term of five years
until 14 October 2015 and a fixed yield of 6.50% per year. The amortization
rate is 100%. With a minimum investment of EUR 1,000, the 'Nabaltec Hightec
Bond' is designed for private and institutional investors alike. After the
early close of the subscription phase today, investors can trade the bond
in the future on the Bondm mid-cap segment of the Stuttgart Stock Exchange
in a denomination of EUR 1,000.

Johannes Heckmann, a Management Board member of Nabaltec AG: 'That our bond
was completely placed in four days is a sign of the great trust investors
place in our company. An increase of the issue volume did not come into
question for us because we have very detailed plans as to how we will spend
the new cash resources-always with the goal of attaining the greatest
possible security for our bondholders as well as the lowest costs and thus
the highest returns for our stockholders.' Nabaltec AG's bond issue is to
serve primarily to finance investments in expanding production capacity for
existing, high value-added product groups and to build new capacity for
recently launched products. Heckmann further stated, 'We will be setting
our new boehmite plant in Schwandorf into operation this month. The
capacities for our eco-friendly alternative to the halogenated products
currently used on the market and in the electronics industry have
practically been completely sold out since their introduction. But we also
plan to adapt our capacities for flame-retardant fillers to the steadily
increasing demand for eco-friendly alternatives. The cash from the bond
issue provides us the desired additional financial basis.'
