Speaking on the Offering, Acting Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Bank
of Georgia, Nicholas Enukidze, said 'We are delighted with the ongoing support
we have received from our shareholders since our successful IPO in November
2006. This second equity offering marks a significant milestone for the Bank in
