representing 2.99%.



The distribution of CHR's Ordinary Shares by CHH has raised the shareholdings of
Klaus Foerster 'Poseidon Account', Klaus Foerster 'Apollo Account' and Klaus
Foerster 'Neptune Account' to 34,300,149 Ordinary Shares, 10,250,000 Ordinary
Shares and 12,125,000 Ordinary Shares respectively representing 42.50%, 12.70%
and 15.02% of the Company's interests respectively.  Mr Foerster holds these

Further, as a result of the distributions, the Company's Chief Executive and
Director, Mr Mansoor Ijaz, has raised his direct shareholding interests in the

Group Inc, a company controlled by Mr Ijaz for the benefit of his minor
children, now holds 600,149 Ordinary Shares representing 0.74%.  By virtue of
the fact that The Crescent Investment Group Inc (CIG) serves as minority
managing member and tax matters partner of HYG, and by virtue of the fact that
Mr Ijaz is a principal shareholder of CIG, Mr Ijaz is affiliated indirectly with
HYG.  HYG and certain persons connected, associated or affiliated with HYG form

Foerster 'Apollo Account'.  As principal shareholder of CIG which serves as
minority managing member of HYG, Mr Ijaz's shareholding interests are deemed to
include the interests of HYG held through Klaus Foerster 'Apollo Account' and
amount to 13,725,149 Ordinary Shares in aggregate representing a sum total of
17.01% when taken together with his direct shareholding interests and those of
persons connected to him in the Company.



Director Richard Armstrong retains a 0.54% interest in the Company arising from
the 437,500 Ordinary Shares held by his wife, Pamela Armstrong.



Directors Joachim Kundt and Laurence Keenan have no shareholding interests in
the Company.



As a result of the distributions, CHH founding member Suhail Al Dhaheri has
increased his holdings to 3,525,000 Ordinary Shares, representing 4.37% of the
Company's interests and has therefore entered into a Lock-In Agreement with the
