         On July 19, 2000, Casuarina Cayman Holdings, Ltd. ("Casuarina") and
Edgecliff Holdings, LLC ("Edgecliff") filed a Verified Complaint for Declaratory
and Injunctive Relief (the "Complaint") in the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware in and for New Castle County, naming Lodgian, Inc. ("Lodgian") as
defendant pursuant to 8 Del. C. Section 211 to establish a date for the annual
meeting of stockholders of Lodgian.

         The Complaint alleges that: (1) upon information and belief, Lodgian
has not held an annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors
since June 25, 1999 and, since that time, no action has been taken by written
consent in lieu of an annual meeting to elect directors in accordance with 8
Del. C. Section 211(b); (2) as of the date of filing of the Complaint, Lodgian
has not announced any date for the holding of an annual meeting of stockholders;
and (3) pursuant to 8 Del. C. Section 211(c), in the event that a Delaware
corporation fails to hold an annual meeting of stockholders for the election of
directors or if there is a failure "to take action by written consent to elect
directors in lieu of an annual

                                                                              10

meeting for a period of 30 days after the date designated for the annual
meeting, or if no date has been designated, for a period of 13 months after the
latest to occur of the organization of the corporation, its last annual meeting
or the last action by written consent to elect directors in lieu of an annual
meeting, the Court of Chancery may summarily order a meeting to be held upon the
application of any stockholder or director.

         The Complaint seeks judgment (a) summarily ordering Lodgian to hold an
annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors and (b) designating
a time and place of such meeting, the record date for the determination of the
stockholders of the Company entitled to vote, and the form of notice of such
meeting. The above description of Casuarina's and Edgecliff's claims is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Complaint, a copy of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit 19 and which is incorporated herein by reference.
