    ArmInfo. By the end of 2009, ARARATBANK intends to carry out the
    third issue of corporate bonds, Chairman of Board of ARARATBANK Ashot
    Osipyan told ArmInfo correspondent. According to him, at the moment the
    bank is working at the parameters of the planned issue which should
    meet the current business trends and market demands. "Placement of
    the bank's two issues of bonds, the first one being repaid in 2008,
    took place in a more favorable period - under conditions of economic
    growth and activity in the market of corporate bonds. The bank will
    place the third issue under conditions of economic downturn against
    the background of the crisis",- he said.

    As regards ARARATBANK'a initiative to hold IPO at Warsaw Stock
    Exchange, Osipyan said that the consultative talks with the leadership
    of the Warsaw Stock Exchange are suspended over the holiday time and
    will be resumed in the near future. He said IPO preliminarily amounts
    to $30 mln.

    Concerning adoption of a law on issue of corporate bonds in free
    currency, Osipyan said that there is no need to adopt such a document
    in Armenia. He thinks that each country's policy should first and
    foremost aim to stimulate the national currency turnover.

    To note, the placement of the first issue of ARARATBANK undocumentary
    coupon corporate bonds worth 250 mln AMD with quarterly coupon
    payment, annual yield of 8%, circulation period of 1 year, took place
    on 3 May 2007. The bonds of the first issue were redeemed on 12 May
    2008. Throughout the whole period of circulation of the first-issue
    bonds at NASDAQ OMX Armenia, transactions amounted to 450 mln AMD
    (94 transactions). The placement of the second issue of ARARATBANK
    undocumentary corporate bonds worth 400 mln AMD, with annual yield
    of 9% and circulation period of 1,5 years, took place from 9 till 24
    June 2008. The period of redemption of the second issue expires on
    December 24, 2009. From July 2008 till 24 August 2009 inclusive 45
    transactions worth 267 mln AMD were carried out with the second-issue
    bonds at the stock exchange. These securities are listed at Bbond by
    NASDAQ OMX Armenia.
