Dear directors and venture partners,

We write to inform you of an unfortunate event involving Devon Archer – he
was involved in certain bond transactions which are under investigation by
the U.S. Justice Department and the SEC and he was named a co-defendant in
charges of U.S. securities fraud brought by the U.S. Attorney’s office and
the SEC in relation to these transactions.  Devon has pled not guilty to the
charges brought against him and is working with his legal team in the
preparation of his defenses.  These transactions are absolutely not
affiliated with BHR or any of its employees.  

You may read about the charges at: 

https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/seven-defendants-charged-manhattan-fede
ral-court-defrauding-native-american-tribe-and

We trust and are confident that Devon will be cleared of any wrongdoings in
due time, in the meanwhile however, both Devon and BHR management deem it to
be in the best interests of BHR for Devon to resign from his director,
vice-chairman and also member of remuneration committee positions so that he
can focus on addressing his current problems and on clearing his name in the
charges brought against him.  We are working with Devon’s team to finalise
the necessary paperwork to appoint his successor to the BHR board.  It is
required under the BHR constitutional documents that Rosemont appoint a
vice-chairman as well as a member of the remuneration committee, which
positions can be assumed by the incoming new director or the remaining
Rosemont director, Hunter Biden, we are in discussions with the Rosemont
team on the appropriate candidate for such positions.  

Devon has been removed from the firm’s website for the time being and we
kindly ask that you refrain from commenting in public about this incident.
Finally, please be assured that we are taking all measures to ensure minimal
impact to BHR.  

尊敬的各位，

我们特此通知您我们的副董事长Devon Archer先生目前涉及几桩正在被美国司法部以及
证监会调查的债券交易案件，并被美国联邦检察官办公室及证监会指控为与该交易有关
的证券欺诈的共同被告。Archer先生对于该些控诉递交了无罪申诉，并正在和其律师团
队准备其无罪辩护。 该交易与渤海华美及其任何员工绝无任何关联。

您可以从如下地址阅读关于此指控的官方消息：

https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/seven-defendants-charged-manhattan-fede
ral-court-defrauding-native-american-tribe-and

我们相信Archer先生将及时洗清以上指控的嫌疑，但同时，Archer先生和渤海华美管理
层都认为其从董事、副董事长及薪酬委员会委员的职位上辞职是对公司最好的安排，也
可以使其专注于解决其目前的问题并洗清对他提起的控告。我们正与Archer先生的团队
完成必要的书面工作以移除其现有职务，并向渤海华美董事会委任其继任者。根据公司
的组织文件， Rosemont有权利委任渤海华美的一名副董事长及一名薪酬委员会委员，
该些职位可以由新任董事担任，或者也可以由另外一个Rosemont 董事，即Hunter
Biden 先生任职。我们正在和Rosemont的团队论副董事长适当人选相关事宜。

Archer先生目前已经从公司网页上移除，我们恳求您避免在公开场合评论此事。最后，
请相信我们正在采取所有措施以确保渤海华美不受此事件影响。

Thank you.

谢谢各位。
