Nabaltec AG: 
- Nabaltec will develop a new energy concept for its Schwandorf site
- Referendum in Schwandorf prevents increasing the energy supply from the
neighboring waste incineration plant

Schwandorf, 28 July 2009 - In response to the referendum of 26 July 2009,
Nabaltec AG has undertaken to develop a new energy concept for its
Schwandorf site, in conjunction with partners and experts. In the
referendum, the citizens of Schwandorf voted down a proposal to increase
the allowable waste volume processed at the Schwandorf waste incineration
plant, thus limiting the allowable waste volume to a level below the
plant's actual technical. The plant, which meets the latest technological
standards, was built for the sole purpose of supplying the Nabaltec plant
with steam and electricity. Increasing the waste incineration volume from
390,000 to 450,000 tons would have secured Nabaltec's long-term energy
supply at full capacity.

Nabaltec AG's energy supply is currently supplied entirely by the waste
incineration plant. Nabaltec's Schwandorf production volume has been
reduced as a result of the global demand crisis. Since the proposal to
increase the waste incineration volume has been rejected, Nabaltec AG will
now develop a new energy concept, together with its partners. One option
would to build a pulverized lignite power plant of our own which would
secure the long-term energy supply after the global economy recovers, when
all existing and planned production sites will be operating at full
capacity.

Construction of the new plant for eco-friendly additives, in Schwandorf, is
entirely on schedule, and the new plant, with an investment volume of about
EUR 20 million, will go online in the fourth quarter of 2009. The product
was successfully launched in recent months. Nabaltec's additives will take
the place of the additives currently used in the PVC industry, which
contain heavy metals and are therefore harmful for the environment.
Nabaltec's products are purely mineral-based, eco-friendly and more
functional.
