Eric: On point 1 below, Devon's resignation, Matthew was supposed to provide a draft of the resignation to Xin after our teleconference on May 17. Apparently, Matthew hasn't done that yet. On point 2, I think we are agnostic as to how Devon deals with his interest in BHR, EXCEPT we DO want to account for Hunter's equity interest during the transfer -- i.e., peel out 10% from Devon's holdings, which I understand represent Hunter's ownership interest. Also, I don't think that BHR's concern will be adequately addressed if the ownership can still be ultimately owned by Devon. Obviously, I don't recommend that RSP hold Devon's interest. Eric/Hunter, when do you want to brooch the accounting for Hunter's interest with Devon/Matthew? I could forward Xin's email to Matthew advising him of the issue and indicating that we need to memorialize Hunter's interest/account for it during the transfer of Devon's interest to wherever that ultimately ends up. Let me know your thoughts. George George R.

I am writing to follow up on the status of Devon’s resignation from BHR’s board / remuneration committee and the appointment of a replacement. On a related note, I would also like to understand how Devon would like to deal with his shareholding in BHR through Rosemont Seneca Bohai. By way of background, we underwent a shareholder registration amendment last year with the Chinese regulators to change Devon’s shareholding entity from RST to the existing Rosemont Seneca Bohai (the process took altogether more than a year), we were subsequently instructed earlier this year to file another amendment to change Rosemont Seneca Bohai to Ulysses (an entity owned 100% by Devon) but that has been put on hold on account of present circumstances. From BHR’s perspective, we ask the relevant parties to consider, for the time being, a transfer by Rosemont Seneca Bohai of its shareholding to another entity (whether it is to RSP or Thornton or the management team) to avoid potential complications for our U.S. M&A deals and/or U.S. fundraising activities. Happy to discuss over a call.
