Further to an announcement made on February 2, 2010, Ablon Group Limited ("Ablon"), a leading real estate owner and developer in Central and Eastern Europe, wishes to provide the following update.

 


On Tuesday, June 8, 2010, the Supreme Court in Hungary suspended the execution of the verdict made by the Arbitration Court on the BVM Epelem ("BVM") case. The Arbitration Court initially ruled that Global Center LLC (a subsidiary of Ablon Group) be reimbursed HUF 4,988,000,000 as principal, plus due interest of approximately HUF 3,000,000,000 (approximately 29 million euro in aggregate) to compensate for illegally delaying the construction of a factory outlet development project in Budapest.

 


The Supreme Court's suspension will last until a material decision on BVM's application for the cancellation of the said verdict has been reached. The company will announce any further developments in due course.
