   On behalf of:              Eredene Capital PLC ("Eredene" or the "Company") 

For immediate release

Eredene Capital PLC

Result of AGM and General Meeting

Eredene Capital PLC (AIM:ERE), the AIM quoted investor in Indian infrastructure, announces that all resolutions proposed at the Company's Annual General Meeting (AGM), held at noon today, were duly passed.

Struan Robertson, Chairman of Eredene updated shareholders on the changing economic environment in India commenting: "Since the Company's Final Results were announced on 16 July 2013, the Indian Rupee has weakened from 89.6 Rupees to the Pound to historic lows in excess of 106.5 Rupees as recently as the first week of September 2013. The Company's investments are denominated in Rupees and so this volatility has reduced the Sterling value of Eredene's investments by almost 20%. In addition, the growth rate of the India economy has fallen again to 4.4% p.a for the quarter ending 30 June 2013.

"Faced with both an adverse foreign exchange movement and reduced growth in India, the Board has decided to conduct a strategic review in order to determine the optimum realisation strategy for the Company's investments, including the stakes in Matheran Realty and Gopi Resorts. In addition the Company will seek to reduce costs as appropriate. It is anticipated that the results of that strategic review will be released in November along with the Company's Interim Results for the six month period ended 30 September 2013."

The Board is also pleased to announce that at the General Meeting of the Company held at 12.30pm today, the Resolutions set out in the circular to shareholders dated 16 August 2013 (the "Circular") to approve the proposed tender offer were duly passed.

The Tender Offer is still conditional on the Reduction of Capital which is described in the Circular and which also requires Court approval. If the Court approves the Reduction of Capital at the final hearing scheduled for 9 October 2013, it is expected that the results of the Tender Offer will be announced on 14 October 2013.

Terms used in this announcement shall, unless the context otherwise requires, bear the meaning given to them in the Circular.
