AED1,700,000,000 Trust Certificates due 2011 (ISIN: XS0359799136) of

Tabreed 08 Financing Corporation

National Central Cooling Company PJSC (Tabreed) announced today an invitation to holders of Tabreed 08 Financing Corporation's (the Issuer and the Trustee) AED1,700,000,000 Trust Certificates due 2011 (ISIN: XS0359799136) (the Certificates) to tender their Certificates for purchase by Tabreed (the Offer). Concurrently with the Offer, Tabreed is soliciting consents in relation to the Certificates (the Proposal). Certificateholders tendering the Certificates will be deemed to have delivered their consent to the Extraordinary Resolution which, if approved, would allow the Issuer, amongst other things, to amend the terms and conditions of the Certificates as outlined below.

The Offer and the Proposal are made on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the Tender Offer Memorandum dated 2 March 2011 (the Tender Offer Memorandum), including the offer and distribution restrictions set out below and as more fully described in the Tender Offer Memorandum (the Offer Restrictions), and this announcement should be read in conjunction with the Tender Offer Memorandum. Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this announcement shall have the meanings given to them in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

The purpose of the Offer and the Proposal is to purchase all of the outstanding Certificates. The Offer and the Proposal is a part of a comprehensive recapitalisation programme (the Recapitalisation Programme) being undertaken by Tabreed in order to achieve a stable long-term capital structure so that Tabreed can deliver on its business plan and achieve its full earnings potential (as more fully described in the Tender Offer Memorandum).

Details of the Offer

Tabreed will pay a purchase price equal to a cash amount of AED2,781.11 per AED10,000 in face amount of Certificates (the Purchase Price) accepted by it for purchase pursuant to the Offer. The Purchase Price represents an amount equal to the sum of:

(a) the product of:

(i) the face amount of the relevant Certificates divided by an exchange price of AED12.56 (after taking account of Tabreed's capital reduction on 12 December 2010); and

(ii) a price per Share of AED1.1259 (which is the VWAP of one Share for the period of five consecutive Trading Days ending on (and including) 1 March 2011 as published on Bloomberg) (the Share Price);

(b) the sum of the outstanding Annual Distribution Amount in respect of such Certificates that was due on 19 May 2010 and the Annual Distribution Amount in respect of such Certificates that would be due on 19 May 2011 if such Certificates were still in issue on that date; and

(c) a premium of AED434.70 per AED10,000 (the Offer Premium).

The Offer Premium represents a premium over the total value of the redemption proceeds a Certificateholder would receive if:

(a) it holds its Certificates to maturity (assuming (i) an exchange price of AED12.56, (ii) the Share Price and (iii) the payment of the outstanding Annual Distribution Amounts in full on the Maturity Date); or

(b) it does not validly tender its Certificates in the Offer and the Extraordinary Resolution for the implementation of the Proposal described below is passed at the Meeting and the Proposal implemented.

The Purchase Price may, at the option of Tabreed, be settled by delivery of ordinary shares in Tabreed (the Shares) by physical settlement (the Physical Settlement Option) and Tabreed intends to exercise this option.

The Offer begins on 2 March 2011 and expires at 4.00 p.m. (London time) on 16 March 2011 (the Tender Deadline), unless extended or terminated by Tabreed. In order to be eligible to receive the Purchase Price, Certificateholders must validly tender their Certificates by the Tender Deadline by delivering, or arranging to have delivered on their behalf, a valid Tender Instruction and Share Delivery Notice (each as defined in the Tender Offer Memorandum) that are received by the Tender Agent by the Tender Deadline. Certificateholders who wish to accept the Offer should refer to the Tender Offer Memorandum for the procedures which must be followed in order to accept the Offer.

If Tabreed accepts for purchase the Certificates validly tendered in the Offer, it intends to exercise the Physical Settlement Option. Subject to the Share Delivery Restrictions (as defined in the Tender Offer Memorandum), such physical settlement will be at the Share Price, with 2,470.12 Shares to be delivered per AED10,000 in face amount of Certificates. Settlement of the Offer will take place on 21 April 2011 or as soon as practicable thereafter (the Offer Settlement Date). Any fraction of a Share falling to be delivered by way of physical settlement will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share.

Accordingly, no payment of any amount in cash will be made in respect of any Certificates accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer, except in respect of any Realisation Proceeds (as defined below) and, subject to the Share Delivery Restrictions, tendering Certificateholders will receive Shares only in settlement of any Purchase Price payable by Tabreed for their Certificates.

Details of the Proposal

The modifications to the Conditions to be approved by Certificateholders pursuant to the Proposal are to provide for:

(a) the mandatory redemption of the Certificates on 19 May 2011 (the Proposal Redemption Date) at the Proposal Redemption Price, settled by delivery of Shares by way of physical settlement not less than 32 Trading Days after the Proposal Redemption Date subject to receipt of necessary information from Certificateholders, with the Proposal Redemption Price representing an amount equal to the sum of:

(i) the product of (A) the face amount of the relevant Certificates divided by an exchange price of AED12.56, and (B) the Share Price; and

(ii) the sum of the outstanding Annual Distribution Amount in respect of such Certificates that was due on 19 May 2010 and the outstanding Annual Distribution Amount in respect of such Certificates due on 19 May 2011;

(b) the waiver by Certificateholders of their entitlement to the Annual Distribution Amount that was due on 19 May 2010 and the Annual Distribution Amount that will be due on 19 May 2011, together with any Supplementary Amount which may otherwise be payable under the Conditions;

(c) the waiver by Certificateholders of any Dissolution Event or Potential Dissolution Event which has occurred or may occur before the implementation of the above; and

(d) if any delivery of Shares to a Certificateholder pursuant to the Conditions would be, among other things, impossible or unlawful (in whole or in part) under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, the payment of a cash amount equal to the proceeds of sale (after the deduction of the costs and expenses of such sale) of the Shares that Certificateholder would otherwise be entitled to receive carried out on an arm's length basis on the best terms reasonably obtainable at the time of sale on behalf of the relevant Certificateholder by an independent broker or financial institution selected by Tabreed and approved by the Delegate, having regard to the need to preserve an orderly market in the Shares (the Realisation Proceeds).

Pursuant to the Proposal, by tendering Certificates in the Offer or submitting an Ineligible Certificateholder Instruction, in each case which is received by the Tender Agent by no later than the Tender Deadline, Certificateholders will automatically instruct the Principal Paying and Exchange Agent to appoint one or more representatives of the Tender Agent as their proxy to attend and vote in favour of the Extraordinary Resolution at the Meeting (as defined in the Tender Offer Memorandum). It will not be possible to tender Certificates in the Offer or submit an Ineligible Certificateholder Instruction without at the same time giving such instructions to the Principal Paying and Exchange Agent.

Certificateholders to whom the Offer is not being made pursuant to the Offer Restrictions or to whom Shares cannot be delivered pursuant to the Offer under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction or for whom there are any other restrictions on the delivery of Shares pursuant to the Offer under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction (each an Ineligible Certificateholder) who wish to participate in the Proposal should refer to the Tender Offer Memorandum for the procedures which must be followed in order to participate. An Ineligible Certificateholder who delivers, or arranges to have delivered on its behalf, a valid Ineligible Certificateholder Instruction that is received by the Tender Agent by the Tender Deadline may be eligible to receive an amount equal to the Realisation Proceeds of the Shares it would have received pursuant to the Offer.

Tabreed is under no obligation to accept for purchase any Certificates tendered pursuant to the Offer. The acceptance for purchase by Tabreed of Certificates tendered pursuant to the Offer is at the sole discretion of Tabreed and tenders may be rejected by Tabreed for any reason. Settlement of the Offer and the implementation of the Proposal will be conditional on the completion by Tabreed (the Completion Condition) of its Recapitalisation Programme (or the satisfaction or waiver of the relevant conditions to such completion other than completion of the Offer and the Proposal except to the extent such completion is waived) on the terms outlined in the Tender Offer Memorandum and to certain other conditions including regulatory approval being obtained.

Tabreed will not declare or pay any dividend or other distribution or similar payment to its shareholders and no event or other circumstance that would give rise to an adjustment to the exchange price of the Certificates under the Conditions (other than any such event or circumstance that may occur in connection with the implementation of the Recapitalisation Programme, for which no adjustment will be made) will occur before the delivery of the relevant Shares to Certificateholders on the Offer Settlement Date (the Corporate Events Condition).

Subject to applicable law and as provided in the Tender Offer Memorandum, each of Tabreed and the Issuer reserve the right at any time, in its sole discretion, to extend, re-open, amend or waive any or all of the conditions of (other than the Completion Condition and the Corporate Events Condition) or terminate the Offer or the Proposal, respectively.
