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

Dear Matthew and George,

Hope all is well since we last spoke.  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.

Xin
