Prime Hospitality Corp. launched the PRIME Hotels & Resorts brand in
January 2003 with the conversion of the Sheraton Saratoga Springs to PRIME
Hotel & Conference Center- Saratoga Springs, NY. In March of this year,
the chain expanded with the re-branding of the Radisson Hotel & Suites,
Fairfield, NJ and the Radisson Suites, Secaucus, NJ, and in the past seven
weeks it converted eight of 12 Wyndham hotels (Salt Lake City, UT,
Sunnyvale, CA, San Diego, CA, Nashville, TN, Atlanta, GA and three in
Phoenix, AZ) to the PRIME Hotels & Resorts brand.

In December 2003, Prime Hospitality Corp. entered into a management
agreement with Hospitality Properties Trust (HPT) for 24 AmeriSuites
hotels and 12 full-service Wyndham hotels to be re-branded under PRIME
Hotels & Resorts chain. The agreement became effective on January 1, 2004
for the AmeriSuites hotels and February 1, 2004 for the PRIME Hotels &
Resorts hotels. Also, as part of the agreement, HPT will provide $25
million during the first two years to pay for re-branding and other
capital improvements on the 36 hotels.
