Validity of EGM Requisition

ABLON Group Limited ("ABLON" or "the Company") announces that further to its announcement dated 11 June 2012 (the "Initial Announcement") regarding the proposed requisition of an extraordinary general meeting of the Company (the "EGM") by a substantial shareholder of the Company (the "Requisition") it has taken legal advice as to the validity or otherwise of the Requisition.

The Requisition proposes that certain resolutions (as detailed in the Initial Announcement) (the "Proposed Resolutions") should be put to shareholders at the EGM as ordinary resolutions. Each of the Proposed Resolutions would, if passed, require the Board to undertake certain actions as to the management and direction of the business of the Company.

The Company has been advised by legal counsel that the Proposed Resolutions may not be properly moved as ordinary resolutions and would, if passed as ordinary resolutions, be ineffective as a matter of Guernsey law. The Company has been advised that the Proposed Resolutions would only be effective if passed as special resolutions. As a result, the totality of the business of the proposed meeting is ineffective.

The Company has discussed the Requisition with the requisitioning party and has advised such shareholder that it considers the Proposed Resolutions as proposed to be passed to be invalid under the Companies Law. The Company will continue its discussions with such shareholder and shall ask the requisitioning party to withdraw the Requisition as proposed given its invalidity.

Unless the Requisition is withdrawn the Company will convene an EGM to consider the Proposed Resolutions but proposing such resolutions in a form that can be properly moved and will serve a notice to convene the EGM within 21 days after the receipt of the Requisition, treating the Requisition as being effective only for the purposes of convening an EGM.

The Company will make a further announcement in due course.
