Nabaltec AG
- Shareholders approve dividend of EUR 0.10 at general meeting
- 16.2% increase in turnover in Q1/2007
- 2007 turnover to reach approx. EUR 95 million

Schwandorf, 16 May 2007 – At today's general meeting, shareholders of
Nabaltec AG, a leading supplier of mineral-based flame retardants and
materials for technical ceramics, approved all the items on the agenda by a
clear majority. The Supervisory Board was re-elected and a dividend of EUR
0.10 per share was approved.

In his speech to the shareholders and guests, Johannes Heckmann, Member of
the Board of Nabaltec AG, expressed his extreme satisfaction with business
performance since the IPO in November 2006. After a successful financial
year 2006, Johannes Heckmann provided an initial assessment of the first
quarter of 2007: 'The first quarter was very successful with turnover
growth of over 16%. This positive performance extended across all
divisions.' After earning EUR 17.6 million in the first quarter of 2006,
Nabaltec earned a total of EUR 20.4 million as of 31 March 2007. Turnover
reached EUR 13.2 million in the Functional Fillers Division (previous year:
EUR 11.8 million) and EUR 7.2 million in Technical Ceramics (previous year:
EUR 5.8 million). Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) rose from EUR 1.9 million to EUR 2.0 million.
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of EUR 0.9 million Euro (previous
year: EUR 1.3 million) resulted after deducting depreciation. Net income
after minority interests from the period amounted to EUR 0.5 million after
EUR 0.7 million in the same quarter of last year.

For 2007 as a whole, Nabaltec AG anticipates consolidated turnover of
approx. EUR 95 million (previous year: EUR 71.6 million). In this regard,
Gerhard Witzany, Member of the Board of Nabaltec AG, stated: 'We will
continue the growth trend of recent years, developing more robustly than
the market this year as well. This growth will be backed by the increase in
fine precipitated ATH production capacities in Germany as well as the
expansion of production capacities for ceramic bodies and reactive aluminas
in the Technical Ceramics Division. At our new Nashtec production
facilities in Corpus Christi, Texas (USA), we are going to sell full
capacity in May.'

Further information on the financial performance of Nabaltec AG in Q1/2007
will be available in the quarterly report at www.nabaltec.de (under
'Investor Relations') as of 22 May 2007.

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 flame-retardant fillers for
the plastics industry, used e.g. in cables, tunnels, airports, high-rise
buildings and electronic devices, as well as base materials for use in
technical ceramics, the refractory industry and catalysis. Unlike
halogenated flame-retardant fillers, the products manufactured by the

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. It aims to further consolidate its
market position by increasing capacity, continuing to optimize its
processes and product quality and strategic additions to its product range
and to secure the market leadership in each segment where its specialty
products are represented, in addition to qualitative leadership.
