This press release neither has nor will be, directly or indirectly, distributed or announced in the United States, Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand or South Africa. The Offer is not submitted to (and acceptance will not be permitted from) persons in these countries or persons in any other country where participation would require additional documentation, registration or measures other than those pursuant to Swedish law. In the press release dated 6 October 2009, Russian Real Estate Investment Company AB (publ) ("Ruric" or the "Company") announced a public offer to exchange / acquire all bonds issued by the Company (the "Offer"). The prospectus regarding the Offer, which today has been approved by and registered with the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, will be sent out to all directly-registered bond holders and be available at the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority at Brunnsgatan 3, 103 97 Stockholm, and on its website (www.fi.se). In addition to that, the prospectus will be available at the Company at Hovslagargatan 5 B, 111 48 Stockholm, and on its website (www.ruric.com), as well as at HQ Bank at Norrlandsgatan 15, 103 71 Stockholm, and on its website (www.hq.se). To avoid the risk that the Company is obliged to complete the Offer upon fulfilment of the condition regarding the 95 per cent level of acceptances even if the terms and conditions for the existing bonds cannot be amended as proposed by the Company, and the Company therefore would not be able to provide security for the new bonds and convertibles without violating the terms and conditions for the existing bonds, the Company has decided to add an additional condition for completion of the Offer. This means that the Offer also will be made conditional upon consent being given to amend the terms and conditions by holders of bonds issued under the Company's Bond Loan No. 2 representing not less than 80 per cent of the outstanding loan amount and holders of bonds issued under the Company's Bond Loan No. 3 representing not less than three-fourths of the votes cast, in accordance with the proposal by the board of directors. All conditions for completion of the Offer and the procedure of amending the terms and conditions of the existing bonds are described in detail in the prospectus. Since the Company's interim report for the third quarter of 2009 will be published during the acceptance period of the Offer, a supplementary prospectus (Sw. tilläggsprospekt) will be issued. The supplementary prospectus will be sent to the bond holders and be made available as set out above for the prospectus.
