Press Release

Orascom Development successfully completes the sale of a 15% stake of its
Egyptian subsidiary, Orascom Hotels and Development (OHD). The offering was
oversubscribed 3.8x and generated EGP 506.1 million (approximately USD 70.7
million, CHF 69.9 million)

Altdorf/Cairo, 5 January 2015 - Orascom Development Holding (ODH) announces
the completion of subscription in the public offering of its Egyptian
subsidiary OHD, through the sale of 33,294,349 shares at a price of EGP
15.20 (approximately USD 2.12, CHF 2.10) per share. The offering generated
EGP 506.1 million (approximately USD 70.7 million, CHF 69.9 million) in
total proceeds for the Group.  As a result of strong investor demand, ODH
elected to proceed with the sale of a 15% stake in OHD, which is the top
end of the range approved by ODH's Board of Directors.

The offering comprised a tranche of 22,196,233 shares (equivalent to a 10%
stake in OHD) that was marketed exclusively to qualified investors (the
"private placement"), and a tranche of 11,098,116 shares (equivalent to a
5% stake in OHD) for public subscription (the "public offering"). Total
bids received for the private placement and public offering tranches were
approximately EGP 1.25 billion and EGP 667 million respectively. This
translates to an oversubscription of 3.7x and 4.0x the private placement
and public offering tranches respectively. In total, the offering generated
approximately EGP 1.92 billion (approximately USD 267.9 million, CHF 264.8
million) in bids, which is equivalent to an oversubscription of 3.8x.

Execution of the transaction was completed on Sunday January 4th, 2015, and
the first day of resumption of trading of OHD's shares [ORHD.CA] on the
Egyptian Stock Exchange (EGX) is expected to be on Tuesday January 6th,
2015.

This transaction marks the return of OHD's active trading on the EGX since
2008. OHD is the prime high-end resorts developer in the region and the
owner of El Gouna, Taba Heights and Makadi Bay resorts, with a land bank of
45.9 million sqm and 24 hotels with a total of 6,039 rooms, hosting the
premier leisure real estate in Egypt on the Red Sea coast.

The Group was advised by CI Capital and Beltone investment banks as joint
lead arrangers and book runners on this transaction.
