Bank of Georgia
                  

                      Grant of Options to PDMR Shareholders

Joint Stock Company Bank of Georgia ('the Bank') hereby announces in accordance
with DTR3.1.2R and DTR3.1.4R(1)(a) that Mr. Nicholas Enukidze, Chairman of the
Supervisory Board of the Bank, and Mr. Irakli Gilauri, Chief Executive Officer
of the Bank, have been granted nil-cost option awards (each, an 'Award') for a
maximum of 34,990 and 33,149 ordinary shares of the Bank, respectively, in the
form of global depositary receipts ('GDRs') under the rules of the Bank's
Executive Equity Compensation Plan (the 'Plan'). The Awards constitute annual
grants in respect of 2008 and each GDR awarded represents one ordinary share of
the Bank. Both Mr. Nicholas Enukidze and Mr. Gilauri accepted their respective
grants and the terms governing such grants on 2 April 2008. The Awards will vest
on 1 January 2011 (the 'Vesting Date').

The exact number of GDRs that shall become available under the Awards on the
Vesting Date (which shall not exceed 34,990 and 33,149 GDRs per Award) shall be
calculated by reference to the total shareholder return of the Bank compared
with a basket of its peers (as identified by the Supervisory Board Compensation
Committee) over the three-year period beginning 1 January 2008 and ending on the
Vesting Date.

The Awards may be exercised at any time during the 10-year period after the
Vesting Date. Under the rules of the Plan, no payment is due upon the grant,
vesting or exercise of the Awards.

The Plan, which was established on 6 November 2006, is implemented through a
Jersey trust administered by Abacus Corporate Trustee Limited.
