Company Information
Jersey, September
28, 2010 - As regards the Meinl Bank press release concerning the
recent agreement between AI Airports International Limited ("AI") and
Meinl Bank, AI management wishes to make the following clarification.
AI agreed to submit to the Public Prosecutor a notification, which
was completed after substantial negotiation between the parties and
culminated in the following text:"Taking into account the current circumstances and after due consideration of the allegations made by AI against former AI board members and Meinl Bank officers and directors, AI has determined that it no longer will assert that these allegations have substance."
AI is not suggesting that the allegations did not have substance, but merely because the parties have now agreed to settle, that the allegations no longer were of concern to AI. Further, a procedural withdrawal of the company's statements to the Public Prosecutor will only be made if and when the agreements between AI and Meinl Bank are completed. On the side of AI, completion is subject to shareholder approval. AI management regrets the requirement to comment on the earlier Meinl Bank public statements but believes that those statements do not fully capture the negotiated position in the agreements between the parties and that it was important to bring the issue to the attention of the public.
