Bank of Georgia (LSE: BGEO, GSE: GEB), the leading Georgian universal bank,

facility (the 'Facility') from Semper Augustus B.V., a fund affiliated with HBK
Capital Management ('HBK'), one of the leading hedge fund managers in the world.

HBK has an option to convert the Facility into any publicly placed subordinated
debt transaction executed by Bank of Georgia within two years from the date of
the disbursement of the Facility. Bank of Georgia has an option to prepay the
Facility after five years from the signing date.

shareholder of the bank, having converted recently the first convertible
subordinated loan facility of US$25 million they extended to Bank of Georgia in
September 2006. I would also like to congratulate our funding team on executing
this transaction in a timely fashion, the current market environment
notwithstanding', commented Lado Gurgenidze, Chairman of the Supervisory Board.
