Statement regarding the events in the Dominican Republic

In regards to the two unfortunate events that took place in the Dominican Republic, and after
inaccurate and false information has been spread or circulated of by various media, digital
platforms and social networks, Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts would like to express our deep
respect to the authorities and the ongoing investigations.

We reiterate our firm commitment to collaborating completely with the authorities and hope for a prompt resolution of their inquiries and actions and will not be making any further statements that may interfere with them.

As a result of the misinformation that has been published, which we wholeheartedly disagree
with, Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts has suffered great damage to its image and reputation.
Serious insults and threats have been levied on some of our more than 15,000 employees and
their families, who are the backbone of our company and before whom we cannot stand idle on
the sidelines.

For 24 years, Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts has operated in the Dominican Republic, which is
one of the most internationally recognized destinations, receiving 7 million tourists from all over
the world annually. In the D.R., we have 14 hotels and more than 7,100 rooms, making us the
largest hotel brand in total number of hotel beds in the country. We welcome approximately
700,000 guests each year.

The safety and comfort of our guests and staff stand at the core of our company values, and we
work daily to ensure it. All our properties in the Dominican Republic hold some of the most
prestigious certifications in the industry including Travelife certifications at the Gold level, as well
as a Global Reputation Index (GRI) of 90 percent.

We reiterate that we completely disagree with the dissemination of false information issued
publicly which threatens the image and reputation of the company and the integrity and rights
of our employees and their families, reserving, where necessary, the right to take the appropriate
legal action.
