About India Hospitality Corp.
In August 2006, India Hospitality Corp. raised US $103 million in an IPO and
private placement and is listed on AIM, a market operated by London Stock
Exchange plc, under the ticker IHC. IHC was originally created as a blank check
company and was sponsored and advised by Hayground Cove Asset Management LLC, a
New York-based investment management firm.
In July 2007, IHC closed on the acquisition from Navis Capital Partners and its
Affiliates of India-based Mars Restaurants Private Limited ('Mars'), an emerging
hotel and restaurant company, and SkyGourmet Catering Private Limited
('SkyGourmet'), an airline catering company with 1,700 employees operating out
of four locations in India.
In December 2007, in order to fund strategic growth initiatives, Hayground Cove
and Navis Capital jointly invested US $28 million of additional capital in IHC,
bringing their total invested capital to US $56 million. Following such
reinvestment, Hayground Cove and Navis own approximately 52% of India
Hospitality.
IHC generated approximately US $30 million in unaudited consolidated revenues in
fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, an approximate 50% increase from 2006.
