Teade

Pursuant to the mistakes related to the observance of the order for the calling
of the meeting in the announcement calling the Extraordinary General Meeting of
AS Ekspress Grupp, published on 7 January 2010 (the time for the Extraordinary
General Meeting was wrongfully specified as 28 January 2010, which did not
leave the legally required period of three weeks between the publication of the
announcement and the time of the meeting), the management board of AS Ekspress
Grupp hereby cancels said announcement and hereby publishes the new
announcement calling the Extraordinary General Meeting. 

The management board of AS Ekspress Grupp (registry code 10004677, address
Narva mnt 11E, 10151 Tallinn) calls the Extraordinary General Meeting of
Shareholders on 9 February 2010 at 12.00. 
The meeting will be held in Tallinn, in the conference hall of the Radisson BLU
Hotel Tallinn (Rävala pst 3) named Hansa, which is located on the 1st floor of
the hotel. The extraordinary general meeting is called in order to increase the
share capital for increasing the liquidity of the company, make changes in the
membership of the Supervisory Board and renew the authorisations of a member of
the Supervisory Board. 
The list of the voting shareholders who have right to attend the Extraordinary
General Meeting of Shareholders shall be determined on 2 February 2010 at
23.59. Registration for the meeting shall be open on the day of the meeting, at
11.30, at the place of the meeting. To register, please take a personal
identification document with you. If a shareholder participates in the General
Meeting of Shareholders through a representative, they must notify AS Ekspress
Grupp of the appointment of the representative (and the withdrawal of the
authorisation from the representative) either in writing or electronically, and
in case of electronic notification, the respective document must be signed
digitally. The legal representative of a legal person registered abroad must
have a statement from the respective register in which the legal person is
registered and which shows their right of representation. If it is not a legal
representative of the legal person registered abroad, a written authorisation
must be presented in addition to a statement from the register. The documents
of a legal person registered abroad must be legalised or certified with an
apostil.
