Paradise Island for Repairs; 95% of the Hotel Rooms in The Bahamas are Fully Operational |

Nassau, November 7, 2001 — Hurricane Michelle is now completely clear
of The Islands Of The Bahamas. Most of the damage to The Bahamas consisted
of downed power lines, fallen trees and flooding in low-lying areas. Telephone
service remained intact in most areas for the duration of the storm and
power was cut to many areas as a standard precaution while work crew cleared
power lines and made the main roadways passable. Power has been restored
to most residents and properties.
The Sheraton Grand sustained some damage to its lobby, waterfront restaurants
and air-conditioning system and is likely to remain closed for the next
thirty days for repairs. Clean up of the Ocean Club is scheduled for the
next 5-7 days to assure complete satisfaction of the property's luxury
standards and extensive landscaping. Guests due to stay at the Ocean
Club through November 14 are being offered suite accommodations at Atlantis
or the opportunity to reschedule their vacation.
