RURIC: Ruric makes public collateral valuation of advisors Alfa-Bank

PRESS RELEASE / November 20, 2012

Ruric makes public collateral valuation of advisors Alfa-Bank
Board of Directors to conduct new fair market valuation as consequence of
analysis

In August, the external advisors Alfa-Bank were appointed to the specific
assignment of devising a refinancing structure for Ruric's debt. According to
the investigation conducted by Alfa-Bank, the collateral value of Ruric's
properties falls significantly below their estimated fair market value as
presented in the latest financial report.

The analysis was performed in a hypothetical context of Alfa-Bank becoming a
lender to the Company as part of its debt restructuring. It should be noted that
the Company has not committed in any way to Alfa-Bank becoming a lender for the
purpose of the upcoming restructuring or otherwise.

Thus, following the result of Alfa-Bank's analysis, the Board of Directors
intends to engage an independent real estate appraiser to conduct a new fair
market valuation of its assets.
