TPD: New Strategic Way Forward


New Strategic Way Forward

October 24, 2008                                                                

Herewith AS Trigon Property Development (TPD) announces that due to significant 
changes in the financial and property market conditions over recent months, and 
the very uncertain outlook going forward, which substantially complicates       
estimating fair values for property assets, the previously announced plans      
(stock exchange release December 12, 2007) have to be changed. Accordingly it   
has been decided not to proceed with folding the Gate Tallinn project into TPD  
in order to avoid any potentially unfair dilution and to secure the best        
interests of TPD and its shareholders.                                          
As a result, the management will not call an Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting
to obtain shareholder approval for the share issue, which was previously planned
to be structured so as to fold the Gate Tallinn project into TPD. Instead, TPD  
will continue to operate its current real property assets focusing on extracting
maximum shareholder value from the Niidu land area, the company's current single
large-scale property investment project of 40ha in Pärnu city, Estonia. This    
decision, in the view of TPD management, is in the best economic interests of   
the company and its shareholders given the current market conditions.           

The cancellation of the plans related to folding the Gate Tallinn project into  
TPD also means that the potential buy-out offer for minority shareholders will  
not take place as it was conditional on the previously intended share capital   
increase related to the Gate Tallinn project being effected (stock exchange     
release on December 20, 2007).                                                  

In regards to the Niidu project in Pärnu, TPD management is working on          
establishing the optimal development strategy for the area given the current    
market environment. Once a development strategy has been selected which is in   
the best interest of TPD, further announcements will be made through stock      
exchange releases.
