  Conclusion of lease agreement with Carrefour for Galleria Plovdiv retail mall 
 
 
European Convergence Development Company PLC ("ECDC" or the "Company") is 
pleased to announce that Galleria Plovdiv AD, the Company's joint venture 
associate company, has successfully concluded a lease agreement with Carrefour 
Bulgaria AD for slightly over 10,700 m2 in its retail mall development, Galleria 
Plovdiv ("the Mall"). 
 
The Mall has a Gross Leasable Area of 49,400 m2 and this new lease represents 
about 22% of the available space. Total leases signed or under offer now amount 
to approximately 75% of the total available area.  Carrefour will effectively 
anchor the development with its hypermarket platform. 
 
The participation of such a proven global brand represents a significant 
achievement in the leasing strategy for the Mall and should have a significant 
beneficial impact on the Mall's footfall and therefore prospective tenant 
interest. 
 
All parties are working towards an opening date in late March 2010.
