BFHJ Thunderbird Resorts Inc.: Clarification of Letter to Board

PANAMA, REPUBLIC OF PANAMA, Sep 08, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Thunderbird Resorts Inc. (FRANKFURT: 4TR)(EURONEXT: TBIRD) reports the following: On 8 September 2009, Thunderbird Resorts Inc. ("Thunderbird" or "the Group") received a copy of an unsolicited letter ("the BHI Letter") from Beneficial Holdings, Inc. ("BHI") dated 1 September 2009 and addressed to each member of Thunderbird's board of directors. The BHI Letter purports to ask Thunderbird's board of directors to support BHI's desire to purchase a majority of Thunderbird's outstanding shares of common stock.
Thunderbird has received no other communication from BHI and has received no other information establishing either the credibility of the offer or the credibility of BHI, including no information on operating history or financial performance of BHI or cash resources available to finance this transaction. In addition, Thunderbird has not been made aware of any efforts by BHI to comply with any applicable securities laws and other regulations dealing with tender offers or potential tender offers.

While our goal is and always has been to maximize long term shareholder value, until Thunderbird receives additional information establishing the bona fide intent and capability on the part of BHI, as well as regulatory compliance, Thunderbird will take no action with respect to the BHI Letter.
