Windstar financial close now scheduled for October 2010

Considerable progress has been made and the due diligence is essentially complete. The size and complexity of the transaction has required more time than originally anticipated and the financing is now anticipated to close by mid-October 2010.

Heavy construction is planned to begin immediately upon the completion of the financial close. Financial close is still subject to final approval by the respective debt committees of each lender.
