 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE   1 June 2011 
 

ABLON GROUP LIMITED

("Ablon" or the "Company")

PROPOSED MOVE FROM AIM TO THE MAIN MARKET

Ablon Group Limited, a leading real estate owner and developer in Central Europe, today announces that it intends to apply for a standard listing of its ordinary shares of EUR0.01 each ("Ordinary Shares") on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority (the "Official List") and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange for listed securities (the "Main Market") (together, "Admission").

Admission will be through an introduction of the existing Ordinary Shares, with no new Ordinary Shares being issued.

Pursuant to Rule 41 of the AIM Rules for Companies, the Company hereby gives notice of the intended cancellation of trading of its Ordinary Shares on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange ("AIM").

It is expected that cancellation of trading of the Ordinary Shares on AIM will take place on the same day as the Ordinary Shares are admitted by way of a standard listing on the Official List and begin trading on the Main Market, which is expected to occur on or around 30 June 2011, subject to receipt of the necessary approvals from the UK Listing Authority and the London Stock Exchange.

Alex Borrelli, Chairman, commented: "The Company has been well served by AIM, however, we believe the profile of the Company will be raised by a move to the Main Market and will provide the Company with access to a wider audience of investors as well as giving the Company greater flexibility with regard to listing on other EU exchanges and, therefore, potential access to additional pools of capital in the future."

Existing shareholders should consult their own tax advisers as to the tax implications of the move from AIM to the Official List.
