Pursuant to the Rules and Regulations of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange, d.d, the relevant legislation, the company Poslovni sistem Mercator, d.d., hereby informs the shareholders and the public of the following:


Ljubljana, June 24th 2011 - The company Poslovni sistem Mercator, d.d., Ljubljana, and the company Hram Holding, d.d., Ljubljana, signed on June 24th 2011 a strategic combination agreement according to which the company Poslovni sistem Mercator, d.d., will become, subject to fulfilling all terms and conditions agreed, the owner of 100-percent shareholding of the company En Plus, d.o.o.

The company En Plus, d.o.o., is active in trade of petrochemicals through a network of automated self-service petrol stations. The self-service petrol stations are currently available at 18 different locations across Slovenia and offer a limited assortment of petrochemicals without the presence of any personnel at the location.

This strategic combination is consistent with Mercator's strategy for developing supplementary trade service for customers. Following the example of other European retailers Mercator is extending the offer of supplementary trade services with sale of petrochemicals. This will improve the recognition, distinctiveness, and attractiveness of the shopping centers and provide a comprehensive offer for the final consumer at a single location. This strategic combination will also enable further extension of the petrol stations network on the existing locations of Mercator's bigger shopping centers in Slovenia, Croatia, and Serbia as the strategic combination also includes the transfer of exclusive rights for the use of technological and architectural solutions for installing new petrol stations in parking lots of shopping centers in all three countries.

Also attached to this public announcement is the fairness opinion by the independent financial advisor from the viewpoint of the company Mercator, d.d., and its shareholders.



This announcement will be published on the company’s website at www.mercator.si as of June 24th 2011, and will remain posted for a period of at least five years.
