the Merger, (i) each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of BGI

outstanding immediately prior thereto was converted into the right to receive
from Hilton $51.37 in cash (representing $52.75 per share less a pro rata
percentage of certain court-awarded attorney's fees and expenses), without
interest thereon, subject to the rights of holders thereof to seek an appraisal
of their shares under Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, (ii) each warrant to purchase shares of BGI Common Stock ("BGI
Warrants") outstanding immediately prior thereto was converted into the right to
receive from Hilton $41.37 in cash (representing $42.75 per BGI Warrant less the
pro rata percentage of certain court-awarded attorney's fees and expenses),
without interest thereon, and (iii) BGI became a wholly owned subsidiary of an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Hilton.
