For Immediate Release 18 January 2013 Proposed Acquisition of land immediately adjacent to the Millennium Seoul Hilton Hotel

Millennium & Copthorne Hotels plc (M&C) today announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary, CDL Hotels (Korea) Ltd, has entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement with Woo Yang Industrial Development Co., Ltd to acquire a plot of land with a total area of 1,563.7m2, adjacent to the Millennium Seoul Hilton Hotel in Korea, for a cash consideration of KW29.5 billion (around £17.23m). The Millennium Seoul Hilton Hotel is owned by M&C. Completion is expected to take place in the second quarter of
2013 and is subject to certain terms and conditions being met.

M&C will develop detailed plans to build hospitality facilities on the site complementary to the Millennium Seoul Hilton, following further studies with architects and other external consultants.
