Butch Kerzner, CEO of the Company, commented, "From the beginning of his tenure with the Company, Paul O'Neil made clear his plan to retire in 2006. His leadership and outstanding team have enabled the growth of our Paradise Island business over the past five and a half years.

Since joining the Company, Mr. Markantonis has played a key role in the planning and development of Atlantis, The Palm, Dubai, the destination resort and vast water-theme park that will extend the Atlantis brand into one of the fastest growing tourist destinations in the world. With Mr. Markantonis's promotion and move to The Bahamas, continued development of Atlantis, The Palm, Dubai will be handled by Alan Leibman, President/Managing Director of Kerzner's destination resort casino development, Mazagan, in El Jadida, Morocco. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Markantonis was Senior Vice President of Hotel Operations for Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, where he held overall responsibility for day-to-day operations of the 2,500-room, 80-acre luxury resort.

Howard Karawan noted, "This is a very exciting time for the Company, especially for the Paradise Island businesses. Construction of Marina Village at Atlantis, a 65,000 square foot project including four new restaurants and retail space around the Atlantis Marina, is well underway and nearing completion. We have recently begun construction of the expanded water theme park and planning for the remaining elements of the Phase III development is reaching an advanced stage. It was paramount for us to ensure a strong succession plan, and Paul's legacy of leadership combined with George's background and experience will be a tremendous asset to the Paradise Island operations."
