("AREOF" or "the Company")

Statement Re: Initiation of Legal Proceedings in Romania

The Company announces that it has commenced legal proceedings in the Romanian courts against New Europe Property Investments plc ("NEPI") and Osterreichische Volksbanken-Aktiengesellschaft ("Volksbank"). NEPI is a competitor to AREOF in Romania. Volksbank is a lender to AREOF's Sibiu Shopping City ("SSC") retail park in the Romanian city of Sibiu.

AREOF's legal claim in Romania relates to (i) the unlawful use and dissemination of confidential information regarding SSC; (ii) damaging public statements that have been made regarding SSC and; (iii) unfair competition that AREOF has suffered in Romania in relation to SSC.

The Company's Investment Manager has significant experience of dealing with legal situations of this kind and will take all actions necessary to protect the Company's assets.
