On 30 December 2009 ABC Grupi AS transferred its shareholding in retailer ABC
Supermarkets AS (a 100% subsidiary of ABC Grupi AS) with a share capital of
15.4 million Estonian kroons. The objective of the transaction was to improve
ABC Grupi AS's capitalisation and reduce the conflict of interests of the
group's wholesale business with the group's retail business. 

The shareholding was acquired by Continental FIT AS. The transaction cost
amounts to 215 million kroons (13.7 million euros) and the final due date of
payment is 30 December 2010. Until the full payment of the sales price the
transferred shares of ABC Supermarkets AS are encumbered with a pledge for the
benefit of ABC Grupi AS. Upon calculating the transaction price the parties
took into account the results of the goodwill tests conducted by audit company
Rimess OÜ. Due to this transaction the group's liabilities will decrease and
its assets and profit will increase. 

ABC Supermarkets AS will continue the cooperation with Redgate Capital in the
field of financial consultancy started by ABC Grupi AS for the purpose of
obtaining additional capital necessary for implementing the expansion program.
There will be no changes in the management board or supervisory board of the
company.
