An option is "In-the-Money" when the fair market value of the underlying Common Stock exceeds the exercise price of the option. None of the options were "In-the-Money" as of July 27, 2003.

Under the terms of the LTIP, each award to a Participant establishes the percent of the Total Plan Pool (the minimum value of the Total Plan Pool is $2 million and the maximum is $32 million) to which such Participant may be entitled upon a Valuation Event (see definition in Note 3), or in certain cases, following a Participant's termination of employment.


The Total Plan Pool is determined as follows: $2 million + (Total Equity Pool Value times the Total Pool Percentage).


The Total Equity Pool Value is equal to the Total Enterprise Value of the Company minus the value of outstanding debt of the Company. For this purpose preferred stock of the Company is not treated as debt of the Company. Total Enterprise Value equals the total purchase price paid for the Company (or, in absence of an acquisition of the Company, the total value

9


    of the Company determined by an independent third party) at the time of a Valuation Event. Once Total Equity Value is determined, Total Plan Pool Percentage is determined by reference to the following chart:

Total Equity Value

  Total Plan Pool Percentage
 
$1.00   0.00 %
$50 million   1.50 %
$100 million   2.00 %
$150 million   2.25 %
$200 million   2.50 %
$250 million   3.00 %
$300 million   3.50 %
$400 million   5.00 %
$500 million or above   6.00 %

The payout to which a Participant will be entitled upon a Valuation Event is the percentage of the Total Plan Pool provided in his or her Award Awards become 100 percent vested upon a Change in Control (see definition in note 3).

(2)
Each Award establishes the percent of the Total Plan Pool to which a Participant will be entitled upon a Valuation Event. Awards are paid solely in cash.

(3)
Participants are entitled to a payment on Awards granted under the LTIP, to the extent vested upon a Valuation Event or in certain cases upon termination of employment. A Valuation Event is any of the following: (i) a sale or disposition of a significant Company operation or property as determined by the Board; (ii) a merger, consolidation or similar event of the Company other than one (A) in which the Company is the surviving entity or (B) where no Change in Control has occurred; (iii) a public offering of equity securities by the Company that yields net proceeds to the Company in excess of $50 million; or (iv) a Change in Control. A Change in Control means the occurrence of any of the following: (i) the acquisition by any person of 50 percent or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding voting securities, other than any person holding 50 percent or more of such combined voting power on the date hereof; (ii) the individuals who were members of the Board during the previous twelve (12) month period, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; or (iii) approval by stockholders of the Company of (a) a merger or consolidation involving the Company in which the stockholders of the Company, immediately before such merger or consolidation do not, as a result of such merger or consolidation, own, directly or indirectly, more than 60 percent of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the combined voting power of the securities of the Company outstanding immediately before such merger or consolidation, or (b) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or an agreement for the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. As of the date of his resignation from the Company, Mr. Miller was 50% vested in his Award.

(4)
Neither the terms of the LTIP nor the Awards granted thereunder provide for a threshold or target, rather the LTIP and the Awards granted thereunder contemplate payment on a Valuation Event, in accordance with the formula described in Note (1).

(5)
Neither the terms of the LTIP nor the Awards granted thereunder provide for a threshold or target, rather the LTIP and the Awards granted thereunder contemplate payment on a Valuation Event, in accordance with the formula described in Note (1). In addition, neither, a representative amount based on the Company's previous fiscal year's performance nor a target award amount may be determined because Awards payout solely on (i) a Valuation Event (described above) or (ii) if provided in the governing award, following a participant's termination due to disability, without Cause, or for Good Reason (in each case as defined in the Participant's Award agreement) prior to a Valuation Event. In the event of such a termination, the Total Enterprise Value would be determined by a qualified third party. To date it has not been necessary for the Company to engage such a third party to make such a determination.

Mr. Miller resigned from the Company in June, 2003.

Employment Agreements

        The Company has entered into employment agreements with several of its key executive officers.

William J. Fair

        On May 17, 2000, the Company entered into an employment agreement with William J. Fair for a term of three years as Chief Operating Officer. In 2001, Mr. Fair was promoted to President and Chief Executive Officer.

        Mr. Fair's employment agreement provides an annual base salary of $300,000. In connection with his promotion to CEO, his base salary was increased to $400,000. The compensation committee may award Mr. Fair an annual bonus of up to 70% of his base salary in accordance with the provisions of the Company's bonus program. Mr. Fair received a signing bonus of $75,000 on May 17, 2000. In fiscal year 2000, the Company also granted Mr. Fair incentive stock options for 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock, at an exercise price of $2.00 per share, subject to vesting and forfeiture conditions. Mr. Fair is now 100% vested in his stock options.

        Mr. Fair will be entitled to severance if his employment is terminated as a result of any of the following circumstances: (i) disability; (ii) the Company's termination of Mr. Fair's employment without cause, as such term is defined in his Employment Agreement; or (iii) Mr. Fair's termination of his own employment on account of certain material changes in the terms and conditions of his employment without his consent as described in his employment agreement. This type of termination by Mr. Fair is commonly referred to as good reason. Mr. Fair's severance under these circumstances will be the greater of his base salary through the end of the term or one year, and is payable in accordance with the Company's ordinary payroll practices. However, in the event Mr. Fair's employment is terminated by Mr. Fair for good reason or by the Company without cause within one year following, or in connection with, a change in control of the Company (as such term is defined in his Employment Agreement), Mr. Fair is entitled to receive an amount equal to 200% percent of his then current base salary in a lump sum payment within ten days following such termination. The term cause is also defined in the employment agreement.

        Mr. Fair's employment agreement also provides that during the term of the agreement and for a period of one year thereafter, he will not have an ownership interest in, manage or control ski resorts

11



throughout North America and will not solicit the Company's employees to leave the Company, or interfere with or disrupt any contractual relationships between the Company and any third party. In addition, Mr. Fair is prohibited from disclosing the Company's confidential information.

        Mr. Fair's employment agreement expired pursuant to its terms on May 17, 2003. Mr. Fair remains employed by the Company as an at-will employee at the same rate of compensation in effect immediately prior to the expiration of the agreement.

Foster A. Stewart Jr.

        On July 30, 2001, the Company entered into an Executive Employment Agreement (the "Stewart Agreement") with Mr. Stewart providing for his employment as Senior Vice President and General Counsel. The Stewart Agreement has a two (2) year term with an additional one (1) year extension if Mr. Stewart relocates to Park City, Utah and, in either case, includes one (1) year extensions unless terminated sooner with 60 days notice prior to the end of any term.

        The Stewart Agreement provides for an annual base salary of $180,000 with an annual bonus as follows: target—forty percent (40%) of base salary up to a maximum bonus of sixty percent (60%) of base salary. Mr. Stewart participates in the Company's LTIP at a participation percentage equal to eight and one-half percent (8.5%). See LTIP table for further explanation. In July 2002, Mr. Stewart's annual base salary was increased to $205,000, and in October 2002, Mr. Stewart's annual base salary was further increased to $214,000.

        In addition, in accordance with the Stewart Agreement, Mr. Stewart received a retention bonus of $105,000 on April 1, 2002. In the event of Mr. Stewart's death or disability, the Company shall pay to Mr. Stewart's estate or to Mr. Stewart, as the case may be, a lump sum payment of an amount equal to (i) his base salary through such termination date, (ii) a pro rata portion of his annual bonus with respect to the fiscal year in which the termination occurred and (iii) any accrued but unpaid vacation through the date of such termination.

        The Stewart Agreement provided Mr. Stewart with an inducement to relocate to Park City, Utah, but in the event Mr. Stewart gave notice by April 30, 2002, of his intention not to relocate to Park City, his severance would be limited to a lump sum equal to 90 days of base salary. Mr. Stewart gave such notice on May 28, 2002, and accordingly, in the event Mr. Stewart's employment is terminated for any reason other than cause, as such term is defined in the Stewart Agreement, his severance will be 90 days of base salary paid in a lump sum.

        The Stewart Agreement also provides that during the term of the agreement and for one year thereafter, he will not solicit the Company's employees. In addition, Mr. Stewart is prohibited from disclosing the Company's confidential information.

Helen E. Wallace

        Effective November 7, 2002, the Company entered into an Executive Employment Agreement (the "Wallace Agreement") with Ms. Wallace providing for her employment as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The Wallace Agreement has a term of three (3) years, with an additional three (3) year extension unless earlier terminated on no less than one-year's notice.

        The Wallace Agreement provides annual base salary of $259,000 ("Base Salary") with an annual bonus as follows: target—fifty percent (50%) of Base Salary up to maximum bonus amount of

12



seventy-five percent (75%) of base salary with a guaranteed minimum bonus of $50,000 for fiscal year 2003. Ms. Wallace received a $30,000 signing bonus in December, 2003. Ms. Wallace will also be eligible to participate in the Company's LTIP at a participation percentage equal to nine and one-half percent (9.5%). See LTIP table for further explanation.

        In the event of Ms. Wallace's death or disability, the Company is obligated to pay Ms. Wallace's estate or to Ms. Wallace, as the case may be, a lump sum payment of an amount equal to (i) her Base Salary through such termination date, (ii) a pro rata portion of her annual bonus with respect to the fiscal year in which the termination occurred and (iii) any accrued but unpaid vacation through the date of such termination.

        If Ms. Wallace's employment is terminated without cause, as such term is defined in the Wallace Agreement (other than on account of death or disability), or if she terminates her employment for good reason, as such term is defined in the Wallace Agreement, she will receive a lump sum payment equal to 100% of her annual Base Salary as in effect on the date of termination. The Wallace Agreement also provides for a 12 month post termination restrictive period in which Ms. Wallace may not solicit Company employees. In addition, Ms. Wallace is prohibited from disclosing the Company's confidential information.


COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

        The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") is comprised of Messrs. Dardani and Wachter. Compensation Committee members were involved in the following related party transactions during the Company's recently completed fiscal year:

        Mr. Wachter is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Main Street Advisors. Main Street Advisors, through Mr. Wachter, acted as one of the Company's investment bankers in connection with the marketing of the Steamboat ski resort for sale and also acted as the Company's investment banker in connection with the sale of the Heavenly ski resort in fiscal year 2002.


REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

        The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing and administering the Company's executive compensation programs and determining awards under the Company's LTIP.

        The report of the Compensation Committee shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such Acts. References in the report to the Company are to American Skiing Company.

Compensation Philosophy

        The Compensation Committee's compensation philosophy is designed to support the Company's primary objective of creating long-term value for stockholders. The Compensation Committee follows a three-pronged compensation strategy applicable to the Company's executive officers and other key

13



employees, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), whereby such employees are compensated through three separate but related compensation arrangements:

        First, each key employee receives a base salary consistent with his or her core responsibilities;

        Second, a short-term bonus target, generally determined annually, is established to provide reward and incentive for shorter term productivity; and

        Third, awards under the Company's LTIP are made to provide a longer term incentive and reward longer term loyalty and performance.

        This strategy is intended to: (i) attract and retain talented executives; (ii) emphasize pay for performance; and (iii) encourage management devotion to the long-term valuation of the Company.

        The following are descriptions of the Company's compensation programs for executive officers, including the CEO.

Base Salary

        The Company generally establishes base salary ranges by considering compensation levels in similarly sized companies in the resort/leisure/hospitality industry and the real estate development industry. The base salary and performance of each executive officer is reviewed periodically (at least annually) by his or her immediate supervisor (or the Compensation Committee, in the case of the CEO) resulting in salary actions as appropriate. An employee's level of responsibility is the primary factor used in determining base salary. Individual performance and industry information are also considered in determining any salary adjustment. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves all executive officer salary adjustments as recommended by the CEO. The Compensation Committee reviews the performance of the CEO and establishes his base salary.

Bonus Plan

        The Company has established an incentive compensation plan for certain of the Company's employees, which is designed to provide rewards for shorter term productivity by key employees. The bonus plan is generally directed at key members of the management team, and currently includes approximately 200 employees. The plan provides for payment of cash bonuses if certain levels of resort and company-wide earnings are met. The bonus plan for the Company's 2004 fiscal year remains subject to approval by the Compensation Committee.

14


Phantom Equity Plan (LTIP)

        Our 2002 Phantom Equity Plan is designed to align management interests with those of stockholders. In furtherance of this objective, the level of phantom equity grants for executive officers was determined by the Compensation Committee upon adoption of the plan or, if later, upon the executive's hire date, in each case typically in consultation with the CEO, except with respect to the CEO himself. Awards for all executive officers are determined by giving consideration to base salary, level of responsibility and industry long-term compensation information.

REPORT OF AUDIT COMMITTEE

        The report of the Audit Committee shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such Acts.

        The Audit Committee is primarily responsible for the effectiveness of the Company's accounting policies and practices, financial reporting and internal controls. The Audit Committee Charter was adopted by the Board of Directors in December 1999. Pursuant to its Charter, the Audit Committee is authorized to: establish and review the activities of the independent auditors and the internal auditors; review and approve the format of the financial statements to be included in the annual report to the stockholders; review recommendations of the independent auditors and responses of management; review and discuss the Company's financial reporting, loss exposures and asset control with the auditors and management; monitor the Company's program for compliance with policies on business ethics; annually obtain from the independent auditors a written delineation of their relationships and professional services and take, or recommend that the Board take appropriate action to ensure the continuing independence of the auditors; review with the independent auditors and the Company's financial and accounting personnel the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company's accounting and financial controls; review quarterly and annual financial statements of the Company to determine that the independent auditors do not take exception to the disclosure and content of the quarterly financial statements, and that they are satisfied with the disclosure and content of the annual financial statements; inquire about significant risks and exposures to the Company and assess steps to minimize such risks; review with financial management of the Company and the independent auditors the results of their timely analysis of significant financial reporting issues and practices; review legal and regulatory matters that may have a material effect on the financial statements or Company compliance policies; review any transactions among the Company, its subsidiaries and their employees or affiliates; receive reports from the Company's compliance officer regarding related party transactions and compliance with corporate policies; and direct and supervise any special investigations the Committee deems necessary.

        In conjunction with its activities during the Company's 2003 fiscal year, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the Company's audited financial statements with management of the Company. The members of the Audit Committee have also discussed with the Company's independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by SAS 61 (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards, AU Section 380). The Audit Committee has received from the Company's independent auditors the written disclosures and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, and has discussed with the independent auditors the independent auditors' independence from the Company, and has considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the auditors' independence.

16



        Fees paid to the Company's independent audit firms for fiscal 2003 were comprised of the following:

Aggregate Audit Fees (for annual audit and quarterly reviews)      
  —KPMG   $ 487,643
Aggregate audit-related services      
  —KPMG   $ 87,500
Aggregate tax-related services      
  —KPMG   $ 15,631
Aggregate other services      
  —KPMG   $ 49,346

        Based on the foregoing review and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors of the Company that the audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company's fiscal year ended July 27, 2003.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH

        The following table compares the performance of the Company's Common Stock to the Russell 2000 and the Company's Peer Group Index*.

LINE GRAPH

*
The Company's peer group index performance is weighted according to market capitalization.

        The total shareholder return assumes that $100 is invested at the beginning of the period in the Common Stock of the Company, The Russell 2000, and the Company's peer group. The Company's peer group, as selected by the Company, is comprised of Vail Resorts, Inc., Intrawest Corp., Boca Resorts, Six Flags, Inc., and Cedar Fair, L.P. The Company has selected this peer group because these companies operate in the Resort/Leisure/Hospitality sector or the Resort Real Estate Development sector. The Company included The Russell 2000 in the graph because the Company is included in such index and because there is no industry index for the Company's business. Total shareholder return is weighted according to market capitalization; therefore companies with a larger market capitalization have a greater impact on the peer group index results. Historical stock performance during this period may not be indicative of future stock performance.

For certain related party transactions, the Board has also constituted a Special Committee of its independent members.

        The Compensation Committee is authorized and directed to: (i) review and report to the Board on the Company's programs for attracting, retaining and promoting executives, and for developing future senior management; (ii) review and make recommendations to the Board regarding compensation for the chief executive officer and other inside directors; (iii) review and approve performance targets, participation and level of awards for long-term incentive award plans; (iv) review, approve and report to the Board concerning administration of compensation programs; and (v) administer any stock option plans which may be adopted and the granting of options under such plans.

The Board is ultimately responsible for nominating new members and filling vacancies. In addition, the Nominating Committee annually reviews employment and other relationships of directors to assure that there is no current relationship between any non-employee director and the Company that would comprise the independence of any director. The members of the Nominating Committee are Messrs. Wachter and Gruber. Shareholder nominees for Board of Directors positions are considered by the Nominating Committee. Nominees for the next annual meeting should be addressed to the

23



Nominating Committee c/o Foster A. Stewart, Jr., Secretary, American Skiing Company and delivered to the Company's executive offices prior to September 1, 2004. The Nominating Committee held one meeting during Fiscal 2003.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS

Registration Rights Agreement

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company granted Oak Hill the following registration rights with respect to the Junior Subordinated Notes, the Series D Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion of the Junior Subordinated Notes, the Series C-1 Preferred Stock, the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C-1 Preferred Stock, the Series C-2 Preferred Stock, the Common Stock and any other series or class of the Company's capital stock held from time to time by Oak Hill (collectively, the "Registrable Securities"):

    The holders of Registrable Securities are entitled to make six requests for registration of the Registrable Securities, so long as each such request is made by the holders of at least 10% of

24


      the class of Registrable Securities to be registered pursuant to the request, or a lesser percentage if the anticipated aggregate offering price would exceed $25.0 million;

    The holders of Registrable Securities are entitled to incidental registration rights;

    The holders of Registrable Securities may use up to four of their requests for registration to request that the Company file a shelf registration statement, which shall be filed within 30 days of the request and maintained effective until the earlier of the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by the shelf registration statement have been sold or the second anniversary of such effective date;

    If so requested by the holders of such rights, the Company must include securities covered by the registration rights previously granted to ING (U.S.) Capital Corporation and/ or Madeleine L.L.C. in any registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement; and

    The Company may suspend the use of an effective registration statement in certain circumstances, for a period not to exceed 120 days every consecutive twelve-month period.

Stockholders Agreement

        The Company, Oak Hill and Mr. Otten entered into a Stockholders Agreement, dated as of August 6, 1999, amended on July 31, 2000 (as amended, the "Stockholders Agreement"), pursuant to which each of Mr. Otten and Oak Hill agreed to vote their capital stock of the Company so as to cause there to be:

    Six directors of the Company nominated by Oak Hill, so long as Oak Hill owns 80% of the shares of Common Stock it owned as of July 30, 2000 on a fully diluted basis, such number of directors decreasing ratably with the percentage of Oak Hill's ownership of the Common Stock on a fully diluted basis compared to such ownership as of July 30, 2000; and

    Two directors of the Company nominated by Mr. Otten, so long as Mr. Otten owns 15% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis, and one director so nominated, so long as Mr. Otten owns at least 5% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis.

        As of the date hereof, Oak Hill owns 80% of the shares of Common Stock it owned as of July 30, 2000, on a fully diluted basis, therefore, two of the four members of the Board of Directors to be elected by Mr. Otten, as sole owner of the Class A Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Company's certificate of incorporation will be chosen by Oak Hill and elected by Mr. Otten.

        The Stockholders Agreement provides that, so long as Oak Hill owns at least 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis, the affirmative vote of at least one Oak Hill director is required prior to the approval of (i) the Company's annual budget, (ii) significant executive personnel decisions, (iii) material actions likely to have an impact of 5% or more on the Company's consolidated revenues or earnings, amendments to the Company's articles of incorporation or bylaws, (iv) any liquidation, reorganization or business combination of the Company, (v) the initiation of certain material litigation, and (vi) any material financing of the Company.

        Under the Stockholders Agreement, Oak Hill and Mr. Otten have agreed not to dispose of their securities of the Company if, (i) as a result of such transfer, the transferee would own more than 10%

25



of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis), unless such transfer is approved by the Board of Directors (x) including a majority of the Common Directors, as defined,, or (y) the Company's public stockholders are given the opportunity to participate in such transfer on equivalent terms, (ii) the transferee is a competitor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, unless such transfer is approved by the Board of Directors, or (iii) such transfer would materially disadvantage the Company's business or any of its subsidiaries. The Stockholders Agreement provides for additional customary transfer restrictions applicable to each of Mr. Otten and Oak Hill as well as standstill provisions applicable to Oak Hill.

        The Stockholders Agreement provides that, upon the Company's issuance of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock, Mr. Otten and Oak Hill will have the right to purchase at the same price and on the same terms, the number of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock necessary for each of them to maintain individually the same level of beneficial ownership of the Company's Common Stock on a fully diluted basis as it owned immediately prior to the issuance. This anti-dilution provision is subject to customary exceptions.

Transactions with Mr. Otten

        On March 28, 2001, Mr. Otten resigned as the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Otten is still a major shareholder in the Company and is a member of the Company's Board of Directors. As part of his separation agreement, the Company continued to pay Mr. Otten and his executive assistant their salary and medical benefits for two years from the date of resignation. In addition, the Company granted Mr. Otten the use of Company provided office space for up to two years and also transferred ownership of one of the Company's vehicles to Mr. Otten at no charge.

        In April, 2003, the Company engaged in a transaction with Mr. Otten at the Company's Sunday River resort wherein the Company granted to Mr. Otten certain easements necessary for him to develop a restaurant near the resort in exchange for the grant by Mr. Otten of certain parking and access easements beneficial to the resort. This transaction was reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.

EXHIBIT A

AMERICAN SKIING COMPANY
Corporate Ethics Policy
November 1, 2002

        At American Skiing Company, we conduct our business in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. It's important to note, however, that compliance with the law doesn't encompass our entire ethical responsibility. Rather it is a minimum, absolutely essential condition for the performance of our duties. We're committed to serving our customers, clients, fellow employees, shareholders, and surrounding community with the highest degree of ethical and professional conduct.

        The principles and policies that guide our business practices are summarized below in our Corporate Ethics Policy. Some of these policies and guidelines are general in nature, and in some instances are covered in more detail by specific policies and guidelines issued by various departments. We expect all of our employees to take appropriate steps to deal only with agents, consultants, contractors, representatives and suppliers who follow these guidelines as well as all other applicable ASC policies.

        Unless otherwise noted, our Corporate Ethics Policy applies across American Skiing Company and its subsidiaries, in all businesses, states and regions. The Corporate Ethics Policy applies to all employees of American Skiing Company and its subsidiaries, whether full-time or part-time, as well as all officers and directors of such companies. Our written policies are not intended to cover all ethical and legal situations. For example, if a local law conflicts with a stated policy, you must comply with the law. However, if a local custom or practice conflicts with a policy, you must comply with the ASC policy. Please feel free to contact the General Counsel if any questions arise.

        The Company has designated the General Counsel as the "ombudsperson" for any and all matters relating to this Code. If you have knowledge that a violation of any of these guidelines is taking or has taken place, you should contact the General Counsel's office immediately at (207) 773-7934 or fstewart@ascresorts.com.

1.     ANTITRUST LAW

        The Company policy is to comply fully with both the letter and spirit of all of the U.S. antitrust laws. Specifically:

    1.
    Competitors cannot agree on the prices they will charge for their products. This is the clearest of all antitrust rules, and violation of this principle is almost always prosecuted criminally. Not only may the Company suffer large damage awards and heavy fines, but the individuals involved in the price-fixing activity could also be sent to jail. Because of the very serious nature of this crime, no Company employee should ever discuss our pricing or pricing practices with a competitor except where that competitor may also be a customer and where the discussion is in conjunction with a specific transaction in the normal course of the Company's business. Any Company employees who may find themselves present at any meeting at which competitors are discussing prices must immediately leave that meeting and contact the Company's general counsel. An example of where this violation might occur would be an after-hours session at a trade association meeting.

A-1


    2.
    In addition to agreeing on pricing with competitors, it may also be illegal for the Company to agree with competitors on the following:

    (a)
    the territories in which each company will sell its products,

    (b)
    the customers to which each company will offer its products, and

    (c)
    the types of products or the amount of any product that the company will produce or offer for sale in the marketplace.

        Since these practices can be illegal, no Company employee should discuss them with any competitors.

2.     MARKETING

        In marketing our products, we must, of course, observe all of the basic antitrust principles noted above. There are, however, some additional legal and ethical principles that should govern our conduct.

        Our advertising should always be truthful. If we make specific claims about our products or the performance of our products, we should have evidence to substantiate those claims. We should not label or market our products in any way that might cause confusion between our products and those of any of our competitors. Similarly, we should be alert to any situation where a competitor may be attempting to mislead potential customers as to the origin of products and inform appropriate management or the Company's legal department of any such cases.

        If we offer advertising or promotional allowances, we should offer them on a proportionately equal basis to all of our customers. We should not disparage any of the products, services, or employees of any of our competitors. If we do engage in any comparison of our products against those of our competitors, such comparisons should be fair.

        If we supply any estimates—such as cost estimates—they must be fair and reasonable. To the maximum extent possible, they should be backed up by objective facts and experience. To the extent that the estimate cannot be objectively verified, it should be based upon the good faith judgments of those making the estimate. We will not use gifts, excessive entertainment, nor any other ways to improperly influence our potential customers. We will market our products on the basis of our price, quality, and service.

        The Company will not pay any bribe, gratuity, kickback, or any similar payment to anyone, including agents of our customers or members of their family, in connection with the sale of any of our products. Should any such payments be requested, the Company's lawyers should be contacted immediately. Company policy is to forgo any business which can only be obtained by improper or illegal payments. The Company will not pay "push money" or secret payments to employees of our customers in order to induce them to sell our products over those of our competitors.

3.     PURCHASING

        The Company will purchase all of its supplies and requirements on the basis of price, quality, and service. The fact that a supplier or potential supplier is also a customer of the Company shall not be considered in making our purchasing decisions. In other words, reciprocity shall not be a factor in our purchasing.

A-2



        All suppliers will be dealt with fairly, honestly, and openly. Suppliers will be chosen without regard to the size of their company or the nationality of their shareholders or management, except insofar as specific legal requirements dictate that those factors be taken into consideration. This policy extends to services such as banking, auditing, legal, advertising, and construction/maintenance, as well as to purchasing goods used by the Company.

4.     CONFLICTS OF INTEREST/CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES

        A conflict of interest occurs when an individual's private interest interferes, or appears to interfere, in any way with the interests of the Company. A conflict situation can arise when an employee takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work effectively. Conflicts of interest also arise when an employee, officer or director, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position in the Company. Loans to, or guarantees of obligations of, such persons are likely to pose conflicts of interest, as are transactions of any kind between the Company and any other organization in which you or any member of your family have an interest.

        Activities that could give rise to conflicts of interest are prohibited unless specifically approved in advance by the General Counsel's office and, in the case of conflicts involving senior officers, the Audit Committee. It is not always easy to determine whether a conflict of interest exists, so any potential conflicts of interests must be reported immediately to senior management or the Company's legal department.

        Employees, officers and directors are prohibited from taking for themselves personally opportunities that arise through the use of corporate property, information or position and from using corporate property, information or position for personal gain. Employees, officers and directors are also prohibited from competing with the Company.

5.     TRADE SECRETS/CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

        It is very important for all employees to appropriately safeguard the Company's confidential information and to refuse any improper access to confidential information of any other company, including our competitors.

        In terms of our own confidential information, the following should be our guidelines.

    1.
    Any Company proprietary information to which we may have access should be discussed with others within the Company only on a need-to-know basis.

    2.
    If we wish to disclose our own confidential information to any people outside of our Company, it should be done only in conjunction with appropriate confidential information disclosure agreements, which can be provided by the Company's legal department.

    3.
    We should always be alert to inadvertent disclosures that may arise in either social conversations or in normal business relations with our suppliers and customers.

        Confidential or proprietary information of our Company, and of other companies, includes any information that is not generally disclosed and that is useful or helpful to the Company and/or which would be useful or helpful to competitors of the Company. Common examples include such things as financial data, sales figures for individual products or groups of products, planned new products or

A-3


planned advertising programs, areas where the Company intends to expand, ways in which we manufacture our products, lists of suppliers, lists of customers, wage and salary data, capital investment plans, projected earnings, changes in management or policies of the Company, testing data, manufacturing methods, suppliers' prices to us, or any plans we may have for improving any of our products. Of course, such information also includes any documents containing drawings that may be labeled confidential or proprietary.

6.     SECURITIES LAWS AND INSIDER TRADING

        Insider trading is unethical and illegal. Employees are not allowed to trade in securities of a company while in possession of material non-public information regarding that company. It is also illegal to "tip" or pass on inside information to any other person who might make an investment decision based on that information or pass the information on further. The Company has a Securities Trading Policy, which sets forth your obligations in respect of trading in the Company's securities.

7.     GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATIONS

        It is the policy of the Company to fully cooperate with any government investigation. A condition of such cooperation, however, is that the Company be adequately represented in such investigations by its own legal counsel. Accordingly, anytime anyone in the Company obtains any knowledge that would lead one to reasonably believe that a government investigation or inquiry was underway, this information should be communicated immediately to the Company's legal department. Of course, our routine dealings with the government (e.g., tax audits, audits from Labor Department personnel, and OSHA and environmental inspections) are not covered by this policy.

        In some government investigations, the Company's lawyers can protect the interest of both the Company and the employees. In some cases, there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and individual employees, and individual employees may need their own legal counsel.

        In some cases, the Company may be able to pay for the individual's own legal counsel, but this must be determined on a case-by-case basis as the law imposes some restrictions on the Company's ability to do so.

        Employees should never, under any circumstances,

    (1)
    destroy any Company documents in anticipation of a request for those documents from any government agency or a court;

    (2)
    alter any Company documents or records;

    (3)
    lie or make any misleading statements to any government investigator (this includes routine, as well as nonroutine investigations—there is a separate federal statute on making such false statements to investigators of a crime); or

    (4)
    attempt to cause any other Company employee, or any other person, to fail to provide information to any government investigator or to provide any false or misleading information.

        Should any government inquiry arise through the issuance of a written subpoena or written request for information (such as a Civil Investigative Demand) such request should immediately, and before any action is taken or promised, be submitted to the Company's General Counsel.

A-4



8.     TRANSACTING INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS (FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT, ANTIBOYCOTT COMPLIANCE)

        The Company should observe the highest ethical standards in all of our business transactions—including those involving foreign countries. We should do nothing in connection with any international transaction and take no action in any foreign country that would be illegal or improper in the United States. Of course, all employees are expected to observe all applicable foreign laws to which they or the Company may be subject. This includes foreign tax or exchange control laws or regulations. No actions shall be taken which are intended to improperly circumvent the application of such laws.

9.     ACCURATE BOOKS AND RECORDS

        Federal law, contained in the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, requires the Company to assure that its books and records accurately reflect the true nature of the transactions represented. Therefore, in all of our operations, it is against Company policy, and possibly illegal, for any employee to cause our books and records to be inaccurate in any way. Examples would include making the records appear as though payments were made to one person when, in fact, they were made to another; submitting expense accounts that did not accurately reflect the true nature of the expense; and the creation of any other records that did not accurately reflect the true nature of the transaction. It is very important that no employee create or participate in the creation of any records that are intended to mislead anyone or conceal anything that is improper.

10.   POLITICAL ACTIVITY

        The Company encourages all employees to vote and be active in the political process. However, federal laws restrict any use of corporate funds in connection with federal elections, and there are similar laws in many states. Accordingly, it is against Company policy, and may also be illegal, for any employee to do the following.

    1.
    Include, directly or indirectly, any political contribution that the employee may desire to make on the employee's expense account or in any other way which causes the Company to reimburse the employee for that expense. In general, the cost of fund-raising tickets for political functions are considered political contributions. Therefore, including the cost of any such fund-raising dinner on an expense account, even if business is, in fact, discussed, is against Company policy and possibly illegal.

    2.
    No employee may use any Company property or facilities, or time of any of the Company employees, for any political activity. Examples of prohibited conduct would be using Company secretarial time to send invitations for political fund-raising events, using the Company telephone to make politically motivated solicitations, allowing any candidate to use any Company facilities, such as meeting rooms, for political purposes, or to loan any Company property to anyone for use in connection with a political campaign.

        The political process has become highly regulated, and any employee who has any question about what is or is not proper should consult with the Company's General Counsel before agreeing to do anything that could be construed as involving the Company in any political activity at either the federal, state, or local levels, or in any foreign country.

A-5



        Company employees may volunteer their services for political purposes, but such services must be rendered on their own time. It is against Company policy and possibly illegal for the Company's employees to use normal working time for any political purpose.

11.   COPYRIGHTS/COMPUTER SOFTWARE

        The Company policy is to respect copyright laws and observe the terms and conditions of any license agreements to which the Company has agreed. In most cases, this means that the software used by our employees is copyrighted, and the Company does not have the right to make copies of that software except for backup purposes. This includes not only the substantial software programs the Company may license, but also the smaller so-called shrink-wrap programs typically used for word processing, spreadsheets, and data management.

        The Company generally does not purchase these programs, but instead licenses them. Both the license agreement and general copyright laws prohibit duplication of these programs. This is true even if the programs are not "copy protected."

12.   UNAUTHORIZED USE OF COMPANY PROPERTY OR SERVICES

        No employee may use any Company property or services for any personal benefit or the personal benefit of anyone else. The Company realizes that sometimes the line between personal and Company benefits is difficult to draw, and sometimes there are both personal and Company benefits in certain activities. Examples include articles of a technical or professional nature that may enhance the stature or reputation of the author and also may have some benefit to the Company and employee participation in continuing education programs. The only prudent course of conduct for our employees is to make sure that any use of Company property or services that are not solely for the benefit of the Company is approved beforehand by the employee's immediate supervisor.

13.   SEARCHES

        Company policy allows the use of any lawful method of investigation that the Company deems necessary to determine whether any person has engaged in any conduct that interferes or adversely affects its business. This includes the theft of any Company property or any property of any Company employee or visitor. It also includes suspicion of possession of drugs, alcohol, firearms, or anything else that is prohibited or restricted on Company property. All Company employees are expected to participate in the Company's reasonable security efforts. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action, including dismissal.

14.   ACCESS TO ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

        The Company respects the individual privacy of its employees, but these privacy rights do not extend to the employee's work-related conduct or to the use of Company-provided equipment or facilities. The Company's voice mail and E-mail systems are the property of the Company and, thus, are expected to be used primarily for job-related communications. Although each employee has an individual password to access the system, the contents of E-mail communications are accessible at all times by the Company for any business purpose. While the Company permits incidental and occasional use of E-mail for personal use, such messages are treated the same as other messages, and the Company reserves the right to access and disclose all messages transmitted via its E-mail system

A-6



regardless of content. Thus, employees should never use E-mail to transmit a message that they would not want read by a third party.

        Employees are strictly forbidden from using the Company's E-mail and Internet systems for any improper purpose, including the transmission of messages or downloading of information that may be viewed as insulting or offensive to another person. Examples of such forbidden transmissions include sexually explicit messages or content, cartoons, jokes, unwelcome propositions, or love letters; ethnic or racial slurs; or any other message or content that could be construed as harassment or disparagement of others on the basis of sex, race, religion, national origin, age, sexual orientation, or disability.

        Employees are prohibited from participating in Internet "chat rooms" or similar venues on matters relating to the Company, unless such participation is required as part of the employees specific job duties. Incidental and occasional personal use of E-mail systems and Internet services is permitted, but never for personal gain or any improper purpose.

15.   DISCLOSURE OF PERSONNEL RECORDS

        Only authorized Company employees with a valid work-related reason may have access to and use of personnel records kept by the Company about individuals. Personal data maintained in the Personnel Department and containing nonwork-related information should be accessible only to the employee, appropriate Personnel staff, or individuals with assigned Personnel duties. This would include employee medical records, information supplied by applicants or employees for "Employment Eligibility Verification" under the Immigration Reform and Control Act, and personal data such as loan information, credit verifications, etc.

        It is the policy of the Company to keep confidential all matters relating to the employment or termination of employment of any employee or former employee. This policy is for the benefit of the Company to avoid possible claims for defamation, and also for the benefit of our employees to preclude possible embarrassments or possible difficulties in obtaining future employment, should termination of employment at our Company be under circumstances which might possibly be adverse or detrimental.

    1.
    All matters relating to the employment or employment history of any employee or former employee shall be confidential information, and no employee of the Company is authorized to disclose any such information to any other person except as may be required or expressly permitted under applicable laws, such as inquiries from government agencies or by legal process.

    2.
    No employee of the Company is authorized to provide any employment references of any type to any other party.

        Any requests for such employment references shall be directed to the Human Resource director and shall be answered by the personnel function only by disclosing

      (a)
      the date of original hire,

      (b)
      the date of most recent severance of employment, and

      (c)
      upon receipt of a written consent from the employee or former employee in question, confirmation of pay rate and eligibility for rehire.

A-7


        No other information shall be provided, including, but not limited to, the reason for termination of employment.

    3.
    In answering any requests for information about employees or former employees, the requestor shall be informed that the reason for failure to provide any such information is because of this Company policy.

    4.
    Exceptions to this Company policy statement shall be allowed only upon the written approval of the Company's General Counsel and the Company's Vice President for Human Resources.

16.   OFF-DUTY CONDUCT

        The Company's respect for employee privacy normally precludes any concern relative to personal conduct off the job, unless such conduct impairs the employees' work performance or affects the reputation or legitimate business interests of the Company.

17.   MEDIA RELATIONS

        The Company values its relationships with those in the media and will endeavor to provide full and prompt disclosure of all material developments or events. Media relations are the responsibility of the Company's public relations department, and all statements to the media or responses to inquiries from the media shall be either handled through the Company public relations department or coordinated with them.

        In the event the media inquiry relates to a pending or threatened legal matter, media communications should also be coordinated with the Company's Genearl Counsel. Any employee asked for a statement from a member of the media should respond by explaining this policy and encourage the questioner to contact our public relations department.

18.   SHAREHOLDER RELATIONS

        The Company values its relationships with all of its shareholders. Any communication from a shareholder requesting information relating to the Company should be forwarded to the Company's shareholder relations department for proper handling.

19.   ENVIRONMENTAL

        Company policy is to preserve natural resources to the maximum extent reasonably possible. We will also conduct all of our business operations in such a way as to avoid or minimize any possible adverse impact on the environment. Of course, the Company will also comply with all environmental laws and regulations. Specifically, this includes the responsibility of the Company and its employees to provide truthful and accurate information to the government permitting authorities in connection with any application for any environmental permit or any periodic reports that may be called for under such permit.

20.   DISCRIMINATION AND HARASSMENT

        We value the diversity of our employees and are committed to providing equal opportunity in all aspects of employment. Abusive, harassing or offensive conduct is unacceptable, whether verbal, physical or visual. Examples include derogatory comments based on racial or ethnic characteristics and

A-8



unwelcome sexual advances. Employees are encouraged to speak out when a coworker's conduct makes them uncomfortable, and to report harassment when it occurs.

21.   SAFETY AND HEALTH

        We are all responsible for maintaining a safe workplace by following safety and health rules and practices. The Company is committed to keeping its workplaces free from hazards. Please report any accidents, injuries, unsafe equipment, practices or conditions immediately to a supervisor or other designated person. Threats or acts of violence or physical intimidation are prohibited.

        In order to protect the safety of all employees, employees must report to work free from the influence of any substance that could prevent them from conducting work activities safely and effectively.

22.   GIFTS AND ENTERTAINMENT

        Business gifts and entertainment are customary courtesies designed to build goodwill among business partners. These courtesies include such things as meals and beverages, tickets to sporting or cultural events, discounts not available to the general public, travel, accommodation and other merchandise or services. In some cultures they play an important role in business relationships. However, a problem may arise when such courtesies compromise—or appear to compromise—our ability to make objective and fair business decisions. The same rules apply to employees offering gifts and entertainment to our business associates.

        Offering or receiving any gift, gratuity or entertainment that might be perceived to unfairly influence a business relationship should be avoided. These guidelines apply at all times, and do not change during traditional gift-giving seasons.

        The value of gifts should be nominal, both with respect to frequency and amount. Gifts that are repetitive (no matter how small) may be perceived as an attempt to create an obligation to the giver and are therefore inappropriate. Likewise, business entertainment should be moderately scaled and intended only to facilitate business goals. If, for example, tickets to a sporting or cultural event are offered, then the person offering the tickets should plan to attend the event as well. Use good judgment. "Everyone else does it" is not sufficient justification. If you are having difficulty determining whether a specific gift or entertainment item lies within the bounds of acceptable business practice, ask yourself these guiding questions:

    It is legal?

    Is it clearly business related?

    Is it moderate, reasonable, and in good taste?

    Would public disclosure embarrass the company?

    Is there any pressure to reciprocate or grant special favors?

        Strict rules apply when we do business with governmental agencies and officials, whether in the U.S. or in other countries, as discussed in more detail below. Because of the sensitive nature of these relationships, talk with your supervisor and the legal department before offering or making any gifts or hospitality to governmental employees.

A-9



23.   ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS (INTERPRETATION, REPORTING MECHANISMS, COMPLIANCE, AND DISCIPLINE)

        INTERPRETATION—The General Counsel's office is responsible for interpreting and applying these policies to specific situations in which questions may arise. The General Counsel's office will also maintain a record of interpretations issued under these policies so that such interpretations can be consistent throughout the Company. Any questions relating to how these policies should be interpreted or applied should be addressed to the General Counsel's office.

        VIOLATION OF THE POLICIES—All employees have a moral, and in some cases, a legal obligation to call the Company's attention to any situation in which these policies may not be observed. All such information will be received with the understanding that no discipline or other retaliatory action shall be taken against any employee informing the Company of any violations of these policies. Possible situations in which the policies may not be observed should be called to the attention of the General Counsel.

        Any employee violating any of these policies shall be subject to discipline. In some cases, that will include discharge. In other cases, the Company may have a legal or moral obligation to call violations of these policies to the attention of appropriate enforcement authorities as, in some cases, violations of these policies is also a violation of the law.

        AUDITS—In some cases, compliance with these policies will be monitored by periodic audits. These may be done by the Company's General Counsel's office (for example, in the case of compliance with the antitrust laws) or by the Company's internal auditors (for example, to determine the Company's compliance with the requirement of written contracts and accurate books and records). All Company employees are required to cooperate fully with any such audits and to provide truthful and accurate information.

        REQUESTS FOR EXCEPTION—While some of these Company policies must be strictly adhered to and no exceptions can be allowed, in other cases, exceptions may be possible. For example, a minor conflict of interest situation can sometimes be resolved simply by disclosure of the possible conflict to all interested parties. Any employee who believes that an exception to any of these policies is appropriate in his or her case should contact his or her Human Resources director first. If the Human Resources director agrees that an exception is appropriate, the approval of the General Counsel's office must then be obtained. The General Counsel's office shall be responsible for maintaining a complete record of all requests for exceptions to any of these policies and the disposition of such requests.

        DEFINITION AND APPLICATION—This policy applies to all Company operations worldwide. Company operations shall mean the Company and any other entity in which the Company owns a controlling interest.

        As used herein, the term "General Counsel's office" shall mean the Company's Senior Vice President and General Counsel or such other person or persons specifically designated by the Senior Vice President and General Counsel to respond to matters relating to this policy statement.

        The term "Company legal department" or "Company's lawyers" means any attorney employed by the Company and reporting to the Company general counsel.

A-10



        DISTRIBUTION—Every employee of the Company shall be given a copy of this policy statement and asked to sign a statement acknowledging receipt of it. Every new employee will be given a copy of the policy statement and asked to acknowledge receipt of it either at or within one week of hiring.

        CHANGES OR AMENDMENTS—In the event of any changes or amendments to this policy, such changes or amendments will be provided to all Company employees in the most expeditious way possible. If there are interpretations of the policy of broad application to our employees, those will also be appropriately distributed.

        NONEXCLUSIVITY—No representation is expressed or implied that the policies stated herein are all the relevant policies nor that they are a comprehensive, full, or complete explanation of the laws that are applicable to the Company and its employees. All Company employees have a continuing obligation to familiarize themselves with applicable law and Company policy.

24.   DISCLAIMER OF EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT

        Unless there is a specific and personal written employment agreement between the Company, signed by an authorized officer, and an employee, the employee is free to leave the employment of the Company or the Company may terminate the employment of the employee at any time, for any reason. The Company's policy is to be an employment-at-will employer. Nothing contained in this booklet or in other publications of the Company is intended by the Company to be, nor shall it be construed as, an employment agreement.
