Jersey/Vienna December 23, 2011 - The Board of Directors of
AI Airports International Limited (AI) provides further
information regarding the decision of the arbitration panel
in the Austrian arbitration proceedings against Meinl Bank AG
(Meinl Bank) as originally announce on
19 December 2011.
The primary claims presented to the arbitration panel related
to the level of Meinl Bank's fees under the Placement and
Market Maker Agreement. The majority of the arbitration
panelists were persuaded by the testimony of Meinl Bank's
experts and Meinl Bank's legal arguments that the fees
charged by Meinl Bank were not excessive when compared to the
fair market value of the services provided by Meinl Bank as
described in the Placement and Market Maker Agreement. This
point was core to the entire case. In addition, the
arbitration panel held that Meinl Bank's counterclaim for a
stock commission was without merit. Finally, as regards AI's
supplementary claim regarding wrong calculation of fees under
the Placement and Market Maker Agreement, as previously
communicated, the arbitration panel decided in favor of AI.
Whilst the Board of Directors of AI is clearly disappointed
that the arbitral panel did not share the view of AI's legal
counsel and experts with respect to AI's primary claims
regarding the Placement and Market Maker Agreement, AI needs
to respect their decision.
The Board of Directors wishes to revise the guidance
regarding the range of potential outcomes provided to
Certificate Holders in the press release dated 4th July 2011.

repayments to Certificate Holders, in addition to cash
