Zurich/Switzerland, June 20, 2012 - Barry Callebaut AG, the world's leading
manufacturer of high-quality cocoa and chocolate products, will announce on July
5, 2012 its 9-month key sales figures of fiscal year 2011/12, ended May
31, 2012.

As announced in July 2011, Barry Callebaut has sold its European Consumer
Products business (Stollwerck) to the Belgian Baronie Group. Accordingly, the
company presents last year's interim figures from continuing operations, which
are unaudited.

For comparison reasons, the Group's previous interim figures for the third
quarter of 2010/11 are presented in the table below. The same format will be
used for the presentation of the 9-month key sales figures of fiscal year
2011/12.

Barry Callebaut (http://www.barry-callebaut.com/):
With annual sales of about CHF 4.6 billion (EUR 3.6 billion/USD 5.0 billion) for
fiscal year 2010/11, Zurich-based Barry Callebaut is the world's leading
manufacturer of high-quality cocoa and chocolate - from the cocoa bean to the
finished chocolate product. Barry Callebaut is present in 27 countries, operates
around 40 production facilities and employs a diverse and dedicated workforce of
about 6,000 people. Barry Callebaut serves the entire food industry focusing on
industrial food manufacturers, artisans and professional users of chocolate
(such as chocolatiers, pastry chefs or bakers), the latter with its two global
brands Callebaut(®) and Cacao Barry(®). Barry Callebaut is the global leader in
cocoa and chocolate innovations and provides a comprehensive range of services
in the fields of product development, processing, training and marketing. Cost
leadership is another important reason why global as well as local food
manufacturers work together with Barry Callebaut. Through its broad range of

farmers, farmer organizations and other partners to help ensure future supplies
of cocoa and improve farmer livelihoods.
