Ishaan Real Estate Plc ("Ishaan" or the "Company")

Potential sale of property interests and cash return

-- Potential sale of the Company's entire property interests to entities associated with K Raheja Corporation

-- Intention to return 51 pence per Ordinary Share in cash to Shareholders through a subsequent members' voluntary winding up of the Company

The Board of Ishaan confirms that it is in advanced discussions in relation to the disposal of the Group's entire property interests to entities associated with K Raheja Corp Group. If concluded, the Board expects the aggregate consideration for the property interests to allow for a cash distribution of 51 pence per Ordinary Share to Shareholders through a subsequent members' voluntary winding up of the Company.

The proposed return of 51 pence per Ordinary Share represents a discount of approximately 33.7 per cent. to the Adjusted NAV of 76.9 pence per Ordinary Share as at 30 September 2012 and a premium of approximately:

-- 31.6 per cent. to the closing mid-market price per Ordinary Share of 38.75 pence on 14 February 2013; and

-- 57.4 per cent. to the volume weighted average closing mid-market price per Ordinary Share of 32.4 pence over the six month period ended 14 February 2013.

Under Rule 15 of the AIM Rules the potential disposal would constitute a fundamental change of business for the Company and would therefore require approval from Shareholders representing at least 50 per cent. of the votes cast at an extraordinary general meeting. Under Rule 13 of the AIM Rules, the potential disposal also constitutes a related party transaction because the disposal would be to entities connected with Neel Raheja, a Director of the Company, and to the Company's Investment Adviser.

Discussions are at an advanced stage although several aspects of the potential disposal are yet to be finalised. Therefore there can be no certainty a sale of the property interests will be agreed or on the quantum or timing of any returns to Shareholders. A further announcement will be made in due course, as appropriate.
