CLARIFICATION OF
PURPORTED EVENT OF DEFAULT AND INTEREST PAYMENTS
ATRIUM SUES MEINL FOR DECLARATORY RELIEF
Jersey, 22 January 2011: Atrium European Real Estate Limited 
("Atrium" or the "Company") (VSE/Euronext: ATRS), notes the media 
comment containing statements by Meinl Bank ("Meinl") regarding a 
purported event of default notice received by the Company in relation
to the 10.75% convertible bond, which was issued to Meinl (the 
"Bond") in August 2008.  This is yet another attempt by Meinl to 
deflect from the real issues which are those that led to the arrest 
of Julius Meinl in April 2009 on a number of charges including 
defrauding investors, following an investigation into his actions 
while in control of the Company (then called Meinl European Land) by 
the Austrian State Prosecutor, for which he remains on E100million 
bail, and those contained in the E2 billion lawsuit for damages and 
compensation which Atrium filed against Julius Meinl and other 
defendants in August 2010.
Yesterday morning Atrium filed a claim against Meinl Bank and others 
in the English High Court seeking a declaration to confirm that the 
letter received from Centrum Bank AG, a bank in Vaduz, Liechtenstein,
on behalf on an unnamed client dated 18 January 2011 is not a valid 
notice of default under the Bond and that it is not liable for any 
amount, either in principal (of which there is only E20million 
outstanding) or interest, in relation to the Bond.
Atrium is entitled under English law to set off any sums payable to 
Meinl as the value of its E2billion claim against Meinl and other 
defendants exceeds and extinguishes any sums due under the Bond.
The interest payments on, and status of, Atrium's other bonds remain 
unaffected.
