Nabaltec AG redeems corporate bond issue (2010/2015) early

Schwandorf, 15 October 2013 - Nabaltec AG will terminate its corporate bond
issue (ISIN: DE000A1EWL99, German Securities ID: A1EWL9) early and in
observance of the relevant notice period, on 31 December 2013. The issue
was originally set to mature on 14 October 2015. At the same time, the
company is reorganizing its financing structure over a much longer time
horizon. In accordance with the terms of the bond issue, the issuer may
terminate the issue with six weeks' notice at the end of each quarter, for
early redemption at face value. The interest due for the year will be paid
to bondholders in a timely manner on 15 October 2013.

Nabaltec continues to work to optimize its financing structure and improve
its financial results. Given the highly attractive refinancing options
which are currently available, the company has opted to terminate the bond
issue early in order to secure financing with improved conditions and for a
long period of time, i.e. far beyond the original maturity date of the bond
issue in 2015. Nabaltec AG is currently issuing a loan against borrower's
note with a volume of EUR 50 million in various tranches, in 3-, 5- and
7-year terms. With this transaction, Nabaltec AG is optimally positioned
for future growth.

About Nabaltec AG:
Nabaltec AG, with registered office in Schwandorf, a chemicals business
which has received multiple awards for innovativeness, manufactures,
develops and distributes highly specialized products based on aluminum
hydroxide ('ATH') and aluminum oxide, as well as other raw materials, on an
industrial scale through its 'Functional Fillers' and 'Technical Ceramics'
divisions. The company's product range includes halogen-free flame
retardant fillers and eco-friendly additives for the plastics industry.
Flame retardant fillers are used e.g. in cables in tunnels, airports,
high-rise buildings and electronic devices, while additives replace
stabilizers containing heavy metals in PVC processing. Nabaltec also
produces base materials for use in technical ceramics, the refractory
industry and catalysis. Unlike halogenated flame retardant fillers, the
products manufactured by the company's 'Functional Fillers' division
contain no hazardous substances and do not require separate disposal.
Rather, the company's flame retardant fillers actually decrease the
development of fumes hazardous to human health and the environment in the
event of fire. Nabaltec maintains production sites in Germany and the US
and plans to continue to consolidate its market position by expanding
capacity, further optimizing processes and quality and making strategic
extensions to its product range. On the strength of its specialty products,
the company strives to attain the market leadership in each segment.
