RECENT HISTORY

Yellowstone Club Reorganization, 2008-2009

• Since inception more than $1.2 billion in real property and approximately 435 residential density units have been sold at the Club, and in excess of $300 million has been spent to create the existing infrastructure and amenities.

• On November 10, 2008, Yellowstone Club filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Club was unable to meet its financial obligations as a result of over-leveraging, including a $375 million loan that did not require all loan proceeds to be used for the benefit of the Yellowstone Club.

• An investment partnership led by CrossHarbor Capital Partners LLC and comprised of a large group of Yellowstone Club members and Discovery Land Company LLC, acquired Yellowstone Club on July 17, 2009. The Club’s reorganization was the result of a settlement agreement reached by all stakeholders during the Club’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.

• Yellowstone Club is now fully stabilized with $195 million of equity and $80 million of debt. Approximately $100 million of the new equity is available for working capital purposes and future development initiatives, ensuring stable operations for the Club long into the future.

• CrossHarbor Capital Partners LLC and Discovery Land Company LLC are investing the majority of the new capital with a significant number of Yellowstone Club Members co-investing in the partnership.

• The Chapter 11 reorganization process eliminated all unknown liabilities, and positions Yellowstone Club with a clean balance sheet and favorable capital structure to ensure its future. As part of the reorganization process, ownership committed to turn over the Club assets to the membership once the development is complete, ensuring that the membership had long-term control over the club amenities and infrastructure. On request, more information about the Club’s ownership, development plans and operations is available to prospective Members.
