Merger of the subsidiaries Olympic Casino Eesti and Kristiine Kasiino


Subsidiaries of Olympic Entertainment Group AS (hereinafter OEG), namely
Olympic Casino Eesti AS (hereinafter OCE) and AS Kristiine Kasiino (hereinafter
KK) entered into a merger agreement today, whereby KK will merger with OCE. KK
will be dissolved as a result of the merger and all of its assets as a whole,
including all rights and obligations, will pass over to OCE. 

The merger is a logical consequence of the acquisition of KK by the OEG group.
OEG acquired the shares of KK from AS KC Grupp according to the share purchase
agreement entered into on March 1 this year. This transaction was approved by
the Competition Board on March 22, and the transaction was closed on April 9,
2007 (see the stock exchange releases of 01.03.2007, 23.03.2007 and
09.04.2007). On April 18, 2007 OEG transferred all of its shares in KK to its
subsidiary OCE in order to facilitate the conduct of the merger of its two
subsidiaries, as a result whereof OCE became the sole shareholder of KK (see
the stock exchange release of 18.04.2007). 

Pursuant to the merger report of OCE and KK, the objective of the merger is to
facilitate the administrative management of the merger parties and to minimize
the respective costs and increase efficiency. The cost minimization will be
facilitated by the planned taking of the casinos of AS Kristiine Kasiino that
presently operate under the trademark of „Kristiine Kasiino”, to operate under
the trademark „Olympic Casino”. As a result, there will be no need to operate
two trademarks simultaneously, and in long-term it will help to save
investments in branding. 

As a result of the merger, KK will be dissolved without a liquidation
proceeding. KK will continue to operate under the business name of OCE, and OCE
will become the legal successor of KK. As all the shares of KK are held by OCE,
the shares of KK will not be exchanged and they will become invalid with the
making of the entry regarding the merger in the Commercial Register. The share
capital of OCE will not be changed as a result of the merger. According to the
merger agreement, no benefits will be granted to the members of the management
board and supervisory board of the merging companies in relation to the merger. 

The merger will not be audited by an auditor, as pursuant to § 394 (2) of the
Commercial Code, an auditor is not required to audit a merger agreement, if all
the shares of the company being acquired are held by the acquiring company. The
management boards of the merging companies have prepared a merger report in
accordance with § 393 of the Commercial Code, where the merger and the merger
agreement have been explained and legally and economically justified. Both the
merger report as well as the merger agreement are available on the website of
the Tallinn Stock Exchange. 

The merger agreement will enter into force after its approval by the sole
shareholder of KK. Pursuant to § 421 (4) of the Commercial Code, the merger
resolution of OCE is not required for the entry into force of the merger
agreement provided that (i) the management board of OCE has published a notice
regarding the entry into the merger agreement and has provided the documents
set forth in the Commercial Code to the shareholders for examination at the
seat of the company at least one month before the approval of the merger
agreement by KK, and (ii) the approval of the merger agreement by a merger
resolution is not required by shareholders whose shares represent at least 1/20
of the share capital and the articles of association do not prescribe a smaller
representation. 

The merger will be deemed as complete as of the entry of the merger in the
local Commercial Register of OCE, which is expected to take place at the end of
June this year.
