    FRANCK MULLER CEO VARTAN SIRMAKES TO FINANCE "HIN YEREVAN" CONSTRUCTION PROJECT

    Vartan Sirmakes, chairman and co-owner of luxury watch brand Franck
    Muller, will be financing the "Hin Yerevan" (Old Yerevan) construction
    project slated for downtown Yerevan that is estimated to cost between
    US$120-130 million.

    Swiss resident Sirmakes, who was born in Istanbul, also serves as
    Armenia's consul general in France (Marseille). Sirmakes is a large
    shareholder in ArtsakhBank and founded as is the sole shareholder
    of ArmSwissBank.

    Armenia's Minister of Urban Construction yesterday signed a deal with
    MultiContinental Distribution, the company that will assume financing
    for the Hin Yerevan project to begin next year.

    MultiContinental Distribution LLC, registered in London, is fully
    owned by Chrono Star International Participations Groupe Franck Muller
    S.A. according to a document filed at the Great Britain Corporate
    Register and located by Hetq.

    Old City CJSC, a recently formed company fully owned by Vahe-Vasgen
    Yacoubian, will be doing the actual construction of the project.

    Some 100 addresses in downtown Yerevan have been listed as eminent
    domain properties to be expropriated by the government.

    Initially, the companies Glendale Hills and EMC were chosen by the
    government to do the construction, but on November 6 of this year
    the Armenian government proposed that the two hand over the rights to
    Old City. (Yacoubian also has a stake in Glendale Hills; a building
    and construction company).

    Armenia's Ministry of Urban Construction is responsible for drafting
    the blueprint of the project.
