XXI Century Investments Public Limited (the "Company")

Related Party Loan, Proposed issue of Warrants and

Notice of Annual General Meeting

   1.         Introduction 

The Company is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Loan Agreement with Pamigton Holdings Limited (a wholly-owned subsidiary of DCH IMMO), Barwen Holding Limited (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) and Ovaro Holding Limited (a company which currently holds 58.26 per cent. of the issued Ordinary Shares of the Company and which is jointly owned by DCH IMMO and Bremille Investments Limited) pursuant to which Pamigton has agreed to lend US$38 million to Barwen and the Company has agreed conditional on Shareholder approvals to issue Warrants to Ovaro to subscribe for Ordinary Shares as part of the terms of the Loan.

The Loan carries an interest rate of 15 per cent p.a., can be drawn down in tranches and is repayable on the fifth anniversary of the first drawdown. Interest on drawn down amounts will accrue and become payable 30 months after the first drawdown. The Loan will allow the Company to commence the initial phase of development of its key Vyrlytsia project.

Under Cypriot law, certain Shareholder approvals are required to allow the Directors to issue the Warrants and accordingly resolutions are being proposed at the Annual General Meeting to allow the Warrants to be issued. The Company is required to issue Warrants (once the Directors have been granted the necessary authority from Shareholders) to Ovaro as and when the Loan is drawndown. Whilst the Loan Agreement does allow for the Loan to be drawndown before Shareholders have approved the resolutions in relation to the issue of Warrants (provided that the Security Documents (as defined and further described below) have been signed), if the resolutions are not passed by 31 December 2012, the Loan Agreement will terminate and any amount of the Loan already drawndown (if any), together with any accrued interest, shall be repaid to Pamigton.

Any drawdown of the Loan is conditional on the Security Documents being signed. The signing of the Security Documents is subject to i) consent from BNY Corporate Trustee Services Limited ("BNY") in accordance with a pledge agreement relating to shares in Barwen (which was entered into in connection with the issue of US$175 million Guaranteed Secured Notes in 2007 which were converted into Ordinary Shares in 2011) or ii) the release by BNY of the pledge over the Barwen shares. If the Company is not able to obtain the required consent from BNY or the release by BNY of the pledge over the Barwen shares, Barwen will not be able to drawdown any part of the Loan. A further announcement will be made in due course.

In view of the interests that Aleksander Yaroslavskyy, Oleg Salmin, Maksym Naumenko, Oleg Puchev and Artem Aleksandrov have in DCH IMMO and/or Ovaro (further details of which are set out below), the Independent Directors have considered the terms of both the Loan and the associated issue of Warrants.

Both the Loan and associated issue of Warrants are related party transactions for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules as described in paragraph 5 below. The Independent Directors, having consulted with Shore Capital, the Company's nominated adviser, consider that the terms of both the Loan with Pamigton and the associated issue of Warrants to Ovaro are fair and reasonable in so far as Shareholders are concerned.

The Annual General Meeting ("AGM") has been convened for 11.00 a.m. (Cyprus time) on 6 December 2012 at which the resolutions to allow the Directors to issue the Warrants will be proposed together with certain resolutions that are required to be proposed at the AGM. A circular (the "Circular") setting out further details of the terms of both the Loan and the associated issue of Warrants, the other business to be transacted at the AGM and a notice of the AGM is expected to be sent to Shareholders and DI Holders later today and will be available on the Company's website.

   2.         Background to and reasons for entering into the Loan Agreement 

Whilst Ukraine's real estate sector is still vulnerable to weaknesses in the global economy and, in particular, a worsening of the sovereign debt crisis in the European Union, the Directors are cautiously optimistic that the general long term outlook for the Ukrainian real estate market and its participants is positive and that property values should continue to gradually improve.

On 24 April 2012 the Company signed an investment agreement with the international retail chain of supermarkets and hypermarkets Auchan, relating to the development of the Vyrlytsia project in Kyiv, where Auchan would be the anchor investor. As announced on 9 November 2012, the Company is also negotiating another investment agreement relating to the Vyrlytsia project with an international DIY operator that wants to strengthen its competitive position in Ukraine via an aggressive expansion program. The Company intends to develop three further sites in its portfolio: Myloslavska and Lisova in Kyiv and one in Lviv with new international partners.

As announced in the interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2012, as at 30 June 2012 the Company had around US$7.7 million of cash resources, which the Directors believe represents nearly two years of operating cushion without leaving any funding for development projects. The continued ability of the Company to obtain finance to develop its projects is therefore key to the Company's long term financial strength.

The Directors believe that as a result of the general conditions within the equity markets, appetite to invest in companies with early stage projects is also significantly limited, restricting the options open to the Company at this stage in its project development. The Directors have therefore explored debt financing opportunities with several leading local and foreign banks operating in Ukraine and providers of construction finance, and have found that the availability of bank financing in Ukraine for development and construction of projects is limited due to the substantial write-offs and delinquencies that local banks experienced following the impact of the global financial crisis on Ukraine's economy.

In particular, the Company has discussed during the past few months specific loan offers with leading players, finance houses, banks and providers of construction finance in Ukraine with interest rates ranging from 12 per cent. to 16 per cent. for US$ denominated loans under the specific condition that at least 40 per cent. to 50 per cent. of the construction has already been completed, being the level at which a project is classified as potential collateral. Accordingly, the Company has not been able to secure loan offers to finance the construction of the initial phase (i.e. up to 40 per cent. to 50 per cent.) of the Vyrlytsia project from third party lenders.

Given the lack of debt finance opportunities, the Company has had discussions with DCH IMMO which has agreed (through its subsidiary, Pamigton) to make a US$38 million loan available to Barwen, a major shareholder of LLC "Mriya-Invest", the company developing the Vyrlytsia project, that will allow it to proceed with the development of this project.

   3.         The Loan 

Pamigton has agreed to make a US$38 million loan available to Barwen that will allow it to proceed with the development of the Vyrlytsia project.

According to the terms of the Loan Agreement, subject to the Security Documents (as defined and further described in the paragraph below) being signed, the Loan can be drawndown in tranches of at least EUR0.5 million at any time during the 30 month period ending on 12 May 2015 and, unless repaid early, is repayable in full no later than on the fifth anniversary of the date on which the first tranche of the Loan is drawndown ("Initial Drawdown") (the "Repayment Date"). Interest shall accrue on drawndown amounts at a rate of 15 per cent. per annum. During the 30 month period commencing on Initial Drawdown, interest shall accrue and this accrued interest shall be paid on a monthly basis in 30 equal monthly instalments commencing 30 months after Initial Drawdown and ending on the Repayment Date. Interest that accrues in the period commencing 30 months after Initial Drawdown shall be charged and paid quarterly in arrears.

The Loan is to be secured by: Barwen pledging the corporate rights it holds in LLC "Mriya-Invest" to Pamigton and LLC "Mriya-Invest" pledging the property rights to the future construction of the Vyrlytsia project to Pamigton (the "Security"). In addition, the Company has agreed to guarantee Barwen's obligations under the Loan Agreement, including guaranteeing repayment of the Loan and payment of interest, and Barwen has agreed to procure that LLC "Mriya-Invest" and Investment Company XXI Century (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) agree to guarantee Barwen's obligations under the Loan Agreement. Drawdown of the Loan is conditional on the documents creating the Security and the guarantees to be provided by LLC "Mriya-Invest" and Investment Company XXI Century being entered into (the "Security Documents"). The signing of the Security Documents is subject to the consent of BNY Corporate Trustee Services Limited ("BNY") in accordance with a pledge agreement relating to shares in Barwen (the "Barwen Shares") (which was entered into in connection with the issue of US$175 million 10 per cent. Guaranteed Secured Notes in 2007 which were converted into Ordinary Shares in 2011) or the release by BNY of the pledge over the Barwen Shares. If the Company is not able to obtain the required consent from BNY or the release by BNY of the pledge over the Barwen Shares, Barwen will not be able to drawdown any part of the Loan. The Company has also agreed to pledge the Barwen Shares to Pamigton once the existing pledge in favour of BNY has been released. Drawdown of the Loan is not conditional on the pledge agreement relating

to the pledge of the Barwen Shares to Pamigton being entered into.

A term of the Loan Agreement is that the Company will be obliged to issue Warrants to Ovaro in the event of Barwen drawing down all or part of the Loan. Further details of the Warrants are set out in paragraph 4 below.

   4.         The Warrants 

In accordance with the Loan Agreement, the Company is required to issue Warrants (once the Directors have been granted the necessary authority from Shareholders) to Ovaro as and when the Loan is drawndown. If the Loan is drawndown before the Company is granted the necessary Shareholder authority to issue the Warrants, the Directors of the Company will issue Warrants in respect of such drawdowns as soon as they have the required authority. If the authority for the Directors to issue the Warrants is not given by Shareholders by 31 December 2012, the Loan Agreement will terminate and any amount of the Loan already drawndown (if any), together with any accrued interest shall be repaid to Pamigton.

As part of the discussions relating to the terms of the Loan, DCH IMMO has requested that the Warrants are issued to Ovaro (as opposed to DCH IMMO or Pamigton) to ensure that Ovaro, which currently holds 58.26 per cent. of the issued Ordinary Shares continues its role as a significant investor in the Company.

Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, subject to the necessary authorities to issue the Warrants being granted to the Directors by Shareholders, the Company shall issue Warrants in respect of any amounts that are drawndown before the Shareholder approval is obtained in an amount to be calculated by dividing the amount drawndown by US$0.0615 (being GBP0.0388 the closing price of an Ordinary Share on the day that the Loan Agreement was signed, converted into US$ at an exchange rate of GBP1:US$1.5869) which shall also be the exercise price for those Warrants (the "Initial Exercise Price").

Upon the drawdown of each subsequent tranche of the Loan, the Company shall issue further Warrants to subscribe for Ordinary Shares in an amount to be calculated by dividing the amount to be drawndown by the higher of (i) the 90 day VWAP share price at the time that Barwen submits a draw down notice (converted into US$ at the prevailing exchange rate); and (ii) the Initial Exercise Price, which higher price shall also be the exercise price for that tranche of Warrants.

If the Loan is drawn in full, Ovaro will be entitled (subject to the necessary authorities to issue the Warrants being granted to the Directors by Shareholders) to be issued a maximum of 617,886,178 Warrants to subscribe for in aggregate 617,886,178 Ordinary Shares representing approximately 111.9 per cent. of the current issued share capital of the Company as at 12 November 2012 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of the announcement).

However, in order to minimise the potential dilution to Shareholders arising from the exercise of Warrants, the Warrants cannot be exercised if following the exercise, 30 per cent. or more of the Ordinary Shares in issue would have been issued as a result of the exercise of Warrants. On issue, the Company shall stipulate whether a Warrant is capable of being exercised or not depending on the number of Warrants that have already been issued. Accordingly, if there are no further changes to the number of Ordinary Shares in issue, the Company can issue up to 236,573,427 Warrants that are capable of being exercised, which equates to the nearest whole number that is less than 30 per cent. of the aggregate of the issued Ordinary Shares and number of Warrants that are capable of being exercised.

If the number of Ordinary Shares in issue increases (other than as a consequence of an exercise of Warrants) or decreases, the Company shall redesignate the appropriate number of Warrants as exercisable or not exercisable (as the case may be) so that following the redesignation the number of Warrants that are capable of being exercised (together with Ordinary Shares that have already been exercised following the exercise of Warrants) shall be equal to the nearest whole number that is less than 30 per cent. of the aggregate of the issued Ordinary Shares and number of Warrants that are capable of being exercised.

The exercisable Warrants may be exercised at any time during the period commencing 12 November 2015 and ending 12 November 2017 provided that if it is expected that there will be any Warrants in issue at the end of the period, the Warrants may, with the approval of an ordinary resolution of Shareholders, be extended for a further five years. The exercisable Warrants may be exercised before 12 November 2015 if an offer (including by way of scheme of arrangement) is made to all holders of Ordinary Shares to acquire all or any part of the issued Ordinary Shares. The Warrants will be issued and exercised in compliance with all applicable AIM Rules including Rule 21 of the AIM Rules regarding close periods as well as any other applicable laws and regulations.

Each exercisable Warrant will be freely transferable in accordance with the Warrant Instrument provided that the transfer does not violate any of the provisions of the Cypriot Prospectus Laws and does not constitute an offer of securities to the public within the meaning of the UK Prospectus Regulations. Warrants that are not exercisable will not be transferable by any means to any person.

Upon the occurrence of a reorganisation or reclassification of the share capital of the Company, capitalisation issue or offer by way of rights by the Company, or a sub-division, reduction or consolidation of the capital of the Company, or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another company or demerger, or the modification of rights attaching to the Ordinary Shares or a dividend in kind declared and/or made by the Company (each an "Adjustment Event") after the date on which any Warrants are issued, the number of Ordinary Shares which are the subject of the Warrants and the exercise price payable on the exercise of Warrants shall be adjusted either in such manner as the Company and the Warrantholder(s) from time to time agree in writing is appropriate or, failing agreement, in such manner as the Company's auditors shall certify is appropriate, in accordance with the Warrant Instrument.

The issue of Warrants is conditional upon the passing by Shareholders of resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive) to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting. Resolutions 1 and 3 are to be proposed as ordinary resolutions requiring approval of the majority of the Shareholders entitled to vote and voting in person or by proxy at the Annual General Meeting. Resolution 2 is to be proposed as a resolution requiring approval of a two thirds majority of Shareholders entitled to vote and voting in person or by proxy at the Annual General Meeting or, if at least half of the issued share capital is represented at the Annual General Meeting, a majority of the Shareholders entitled to vote and voting in person or by proxy at the Annual General Meeting as per Article 60(b)(5) of Cap 113 (as amended)).

If passed, resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive) will:

-- increase the authorised share capital of the Company from US$5,520,046.65 divided into 552,004,665 Ordinary Shares to US$11,698,908.43 divided into 1,169,890,843 Ordinary Shares by the creation of 617,886,178 additional Ordinary Shares (the "New Shares") which will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares (resolution 1);

-- disapply the pre-emption rights of existing Shareholders in relation to the issue of the Warrants to Ovaro as well as to the allotment of the New Shares to either Ovaro or to any other party which may be entitled to the New Shares pursuant to the exercise of Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Instrument and the articles of association of the Company (resolution 2); and

-- authorise the Board to issue the Warrants to Ovaro as well as to allot the New Shares to either Ovaro or to any other party which may be entitled to the New Shares pursuant to the exercise of Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Instrument and the articles of association of the Company (resolution 3).

Ovaro is entitled to vote on resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive) in respect of its own beneficial holdings of Ordinary Shares totalling 321,611,458, representing, in aggregate 58.26 per cent. of the issued Ordinary Shares and has informed the Independent Directors that it intends to vote in favour of those resolutions.

Shareholder approval of resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive) at the Annual General Meeting is required to give the Directors authority to issue the Warrants. If the authority for the Directors to issue the Warrants is not given by the Shareholders by 31 December 2012 then the Loan Agreement will terminate and any amount of the Loan already drawndown (if any), together with any accrued interest, shall be repaid to Pamigton.

   5.         Related Party Transactions 

As at 12 November 2012, being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of the announcement, Ovaro holds 58.26 per cent. of the issued Ordinary Shares. The two principal shareholders in Ovaro (through their respective intermediate companies) are Oleg Salmin (Chief Executive Officer of the Company) and Aleksander Yaroslavskyy (Non-Executive Chairman of the Company). Aleksander Yaroslavskyy holds his 50 per cent. interest in Ovaro through DCH IMMO, the company that has agreed to provide the Loan through its subsidiary Pamigton. Accordingly, the entry into the Loan with Pamigton and the associated issue of Warrants to Ovaro are related party transactions for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules.

Maksym Naumenko and Oleg Puchev were appointed in 2011 as representatives of Ovaro on the Company's board of directors. Further, Artem Aleksandrov is a director of Development Construction Holding LLC (a member of DCH IMMO's group of companies). Accordingly they (together with Aleksander Yaroslavskyy and Oleg Salmin) are not considered to be independent directors for the purposes of approving the terms of the Loan and associated issue of Warrants.

The Independent Directors, having consulted with Shore Capital, the Company's nominated adviser, consider that the terms of both the Loan with Pamigton and the associated issue of Warrants to Ovaro are fair and reasonable in so far as Shareholders are concerned.

   6.         The Annual General Meeting 

The notice convening the Annual General Meeting of the Company, to be held at 11.00 a.m. (Cyprus time) on 6 December 2012 at 15 Agiou Pavlou Street, Ledra House, Agios Andreas, PC 1105, Nicosia, Cyprus will be contained in the Circular.

In addition to resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive) to give the Directors authority to issue the Warrants (further details of which are set out in paragraph 4 above), the following ordinary business will also be transacted at the Annual General Meeting:

-- receiving the reports of the Directors and Auditors of the Company and the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2011;

-- the re-appointment of Baker Tilly Klitou & Partners Limited as Auditors of the Company and to authorise the Directors to determine their remuneration pursuant to a recommendation of the Company's remuneration committee.

Each of resolutions 4 to 8 (inclusive) that will be set out in the notice of Annual General Meeting will be proposed as ordinary resolutions requiring approval of the majority of the Shareholders entitled to vote and voting in person or by proxy at the Annual General Meeting.

   7.         Action to be taken 

The Circular setting out further details of the terms of both the Loan and associated issue of Warrants, the other business to be transacted at the AGM and the notice of AGM is expected to be sent to Shareholders and DI H later today and will be available on the Company's website. The Circular will also contain details of the action to be taken to vote at the AGM.

   8.         Recommendation 

The Independent Directors consider that both the terms of the Loan with Pamigton and the associated issue of Warrants to Ovaro are in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Independent Directors recommend that Shareholders and DI Holders vote in favour of resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive) at the Annual General Meeting as the Directors who beneficially hold or control Ordinary Shares intend to do in respect of their beneficial holdings of Ordinary Shares (or those Ordinary Shares over which they have control but excluding the Ordinary Shares held by Ovaro) which, in aggregate, amount to 8,383,484 Ordinary Shares (representing approximately 1.52 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company) as at 12 November 2012 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of the announcement).

The Directors believe that the resolutions numbered 4 to 8 (inclusive) are fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend that Shareholders and DI Holders vote in favour of resolutions 4 to 8 (inclusive) at the Annual General Meeting as the Directors who beneficially hold or control Ordinary Shares intend to do in respect of their beneficial holdings of Ordinary Shares (or those Ordinary Shares over which they have control but excluding the Ordinary Shares held by Ovaro) which, in aggregate, amount to 8,383,484 Ordinary Shares (representing approximately 1.52 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company) as at 12 November 2012 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of the announcement).
