Eredene Capital Investment in Indian Township

RNS Number:2547L
Eredene Capital PLC
31 October 2006


Eredene Capital PLC
Announces third investment in Indian real estate

*To invest approximately #2.75m for 35% stake in an integrated residential
township in Indore, Madhya Pradesh State

Eredene Capital PLC (Symbol: ERE), the AIM quoted Indian real estate investor,
is pleased to announce it has made its third investment in Indian real estate.

The Company has invested approximately #2.75m (Indian Rupees 233m) for a 35%
stake in a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to develop an integrated residential
township located in a prime site on the outskirts of the city of Indore in
Madhya Pradesh State.

The township will be situated on a 100 acre site located off the main
Agra-Bombay National Highway and next to the proposed MR-3 arterial road in the
area of Bijalpur, some 6 km from the centre of the city of Indore. The site
benefits from direct access to the city centre and airport. The site is also on
the route between Indore and the 2,600 acre Special Economic Zone (SEZ) at
Pithampur, which is one of the hubs for industrial activity in Madhya Pradesh
State.

The development will be a self-contained fully integrated township and is
intended to include residential houses and apartment buildings as well as
educational, medical, retail and entertainment facilities for the use of
residents. It is anticipated that the project will involve the development and
sale of up to 3600 residential units and the development and sale of up to 700
residential land plots. Construction of the project is expected to commence in
Q2 2007 with a phased completion and with sales expected to commence in 2008.
The project is scheduled for completion in 2011.

Eredene's primary joint venture partner in the SPV is Entertainment World
Developers Private Limited (EWDPL), an Indian real estate development company
headed by Manish Kalani. EWDPL was incorporated in 1999 to develop and construct
shopping malls, multiplex cinemas, hotels and large scale residential townships.
Manish Kalani has a considerable track record in retail and residential property
development in Indore and elsewhere in India. In early October 2006, Eredene
announced a large mixed-use development in Indore to be developed in partnership
with EWDPL.

Saffron Capital Advisors Limited sourced, evaluated and advised on this
transaction. Saffron has a highly experienced and talented team specialising in
Indian real estate investments in the retail, commercial and residential
sectors. Eredene and Saffron entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement in
April 2006.

Following this investment, Eredene will have invested approximately #13.63m of
the #57.1m (then equivalent to approximately US$100m) that it raised in April
2006. Accordingly, Eredene has invested approximately 24% of the fund that it
raised in April 2006.

Commenting on the Company's latest investment Alastair King, Founder and Chief
Executive of Eredene, said:

"We are very pleased to announce our third investment. This again demonstrates
our ability to deploy Eredene's capital in potentially valuable investments in
India's tier 2 and 3 cities where we believe long-term growth and value lies. We
have now committed approximately 24% of the funds raised in our April 2006
fund-raising and we intend to continue to invest in projects which represent
good opportunities for Eredene."

Indore

Indore is the largest city in Madhya Pradesh State in central India. It has a
population of over 1.2 million (as per 2001 census) and is well known as the
commercial capital of the state. The city is located approximately 524km from
Mumbai and approximately 674km from New Delhi, and is well connected by rail,
road and air to other cities in India.

The project lies close to Pithampur, referred to as the "Detroit of India",
which is one of the largest automobile manufacturing centres in Asia and is home
to leading automotive companies such as Bajaj, Eicher, Hindustan Motors, Kinetic
Honda and Bridgestone. Indore has the first green field Special Economic Zone in
India and is one of the largest manufacturing locations in Asia for basic and
bulk drug formulations. The city has a number of educational institutes
including an Indian Institute of Management.

Date: 10 April 2006

EREDENE CAPITAL PLC

Proposed Change of Strategy to Invest in Real Estate in India
Placing of 228,428,000 Placing Shares at 25p per share raising #57,107,000
(approximately US$100,000,000)

Admission to trading on AIM


SUMMARY OF INFORMATION

The following summary should be read in conjunction with the full text of this
announcement.

- Eredene was admitted to AIM in February 2005. The Board is now proposing to
adopt a strategy to invest in and develop real estate in India and to appoint
the Saffron Group as investment adviser to the Eredene Group;

- The new strategy offers investors the opportunity to invest in India's growing
economy and aims to take advantage of the liberalisation of India's foreign
direct investment guidelines. The Company intends to focus on real estate
opportunities in tier 2 and 3 cities in India;

- Eredene will focus on opportunities expected to deliver capital appreciation
(with target IRRs of more than 25 per cent.) and which offer a clear exit
strategy. A prospective deal pipeline has already been identified with potential
investments with this target IRR;

- India is the second most populated country in the world and its largest
democracy. It is the fourth largest economy in the world on the basis of
purchasing power parity, behind the United States, China and Japan. Economic
reforms have been one of the key factors in driving India's growth. The Indian
real estate market remains highly fragmented and the Board of Eredene believes
there are substantial opportunities and scope for further development in the
Indian real estate market;

- The Eredene Group will be advised by the Saffron Group, the management of
which is respected and experienced in real estate investment and development,
with a demonstrated track record in India since the mid 1990s. The Eredene Group
will make the final investment decisions;

- Eredene was founded by its Chief Executive, Alastair King, who qualified as a
solicitor in 1995 and holds a MSc. in finance from London Business School. It
has an experienced board of directors which, conditional on Admission, will be
joined by Sir Christopher Benson, who has been involved in real estate
investment and development throughout his career. He gained significant
development experience when with Arndale and thereafter became Managing Director
of MEPC. He has been chairman of MEPC, Royal and Sun Alliance, Boots the
Chemist, Costain and Albright & Wilson. He was also chairman of the London
Docklands Development Corporation;

- The Company has completed a conditional placing to raise #57,107,000
(approximately US$100,000,000) (before expenses), representing approximately
93.34 per cent. of the Enlarged Issued Share Capital at Admission. HSBC is the
Sole Bookrunner to the Placing. The Directors, who already have substantial
shareholdings in the Company, and the Proposed Director are participating in the
Placing and will subscribe for a total of 800,000 Placing Shares having in
aggregate a value of #200,000 at the Placing Price. Two of the senior officers
of the Saffron Group, Ajoy Kapoor and Rohin Shah and their families are also
participating in the Placing and will subscribe for a total of 1,400,000 Placing
Shares having in aggregate a value of #350,000 at the Placing Price. Seymour
Pierce is the Company's Nominated Adviser and Broker;

- The Company has today announced its results for the period ended 31 December
2005. As at 31 December 2005 the Company's net asset value was 22.5 pence per
share;

- The Company's change of strategy is treated as a reverse takeover under the
AIM Rules and therefore Shareholder approval is required at the AGM to be held
on 4 May 2006, to pursue the opportunity to invest in real estate in India;

- The Company has received irrevocable undertakings to approve the proposals
set out in the Admission Document from shareholders representing 65.6 per cent.
of the current issued share capital of the Company. Dealings in the Enlarged
Issued Share Capital are expected to commence on 10 May 2006.

Commenting on the announcement, Alastair King, Founder and Chief Executive of
Eredene, said:

"Eredene provides an early opportunity to invest in India's growing economy
through a strategy to invest in and develop real estate in India, and to take
advantage of the liberalisation of India's foreign direct investment guidelines.

"We are delighted that Saffron will become Eredene's investment advisers and
look forward to working very closely with such a strong and dynamic team. We
believe that Saffron has both the experience and the network to secure highly
profitable investments in Indian real estate. Further, we welcome their decision
to subscribe alongside Eredene Directors in the Placing.

the Directors' belief that Eredene is well positioned to prosper in this highly
attractive market."
