Completion of acquisition of 75% Stake in Domo Retail S.A. by Lynx Property B.V.



Further to the announcement of 19 July 2007, Equest Investments Balkans Limited
('EIB' or the 'Company'), today announces the completion of the acquisition by
its 75% owned subsidiary, Lynx Property B.V. ('Lynx') of 75% of the shares of
Domo Retail S.A. ('Domo') for a total consideration of €62.5 million.  The
consideration has been funded by €30 million in cash from Lynx and a €35 million
loan facility from Raiffeisen Zentralbank Osterreich AG ('RZB').  EIB, from its
own resources, has provided a shareholder loan facility of up to €13.5 million
to Lynx to partially finance the consideration paid by Lynx, and Lyra Investment
Holding N.V., which owns 25% of Lynx, has provided Lynx with the balance of the
Lynx consideration.


Lynx has entered into a shareholders agreement with Domo's founding
shareholders, which includes, inter alia, rights and obligations in certain
circumstances for Lynx to acquire the remaining 25% from Domo's founding
shareholders, with consideration to be based on Domo's financial performance in
2007 and 2008.
