ITEM 8.01 Other Events

As previously disclosed, the United Kingdom government Pensions Regulator (which regulates employment-based pension plans in the UK and aims to protect the benefits of members of UK pension plans) has issued notices to the Company on October 19, 2006 warning that the Regulator is considering exercising its powers to issue financial support directions (“FSDs”) to the Company under relevant UK pensions legislation, in respect of the Sea Containers 1983 Pension Scheme (the “1983 Scheme”) and the Sea Containers 1990 Pension Scheme (the “1990 Scheme”) (together the “Schemes”). These are multi-employer defined benefit pension plans of Sea Containers Services Ltd., a UK subsidiary of the Company.

The Company responded briefly to the original warning notices, submitting that it would not be reasonable to issue FSDs, and actively engaged with the Pensions Regulator to persuade it of this. However, the Pensions Regulator reissued the warning notice on April 26, 2007. A response was submitted that it would not be reasonable under the circumstances for the Pensions Regulator to issue FSDs. On June 15, 2007 the Determinations Panel of the Pensions Regulator determined to issue FSDs to the Company in respect of the 1983 Scheme and the 1990 Scheme. The FSDs will be issued on July 13, 2007 unless the Company appeals the determinations, which it is currently considering.

The FSDs will require the Company to put in place financial arrangements whereby it is liable for the part of the pension scheme deficit which relates to Sea Containers Services Limited. In the case of the 1983 Scheme, as of June 8, 2006 (the date of the most recent estimate), the estimated claim was (pound)73.6 million (approximately $146.9 million); in the case of the 1990 Scheme, as of March 31, 2006 (the date of the most recent estimate), the estimated claim was (pound)17.6 million (approximately $35.1 million).

Any financial arrangements put in place will need the approval of the U.S. bankruptcy court. The arrangements will not give the Schemes a priority claim at the level of the Company but will in fact be claims ranked pari passu with other unsecured creditors of the Company.

The Determination Notices, dated June 15, 2007, for the Schemes (the “Notices”) and the Reasons of the Determinations Panel of the Pensions Regulator in relation to the Notices, dated June 25, 2007, may be found on the Pensions Regulator’s website at www.thepensionregulator.gov.uk.
