EFFECTS OF HURRICANE MICHELLE

PARADISE ISLAND, The Bahamas, November 6, 2001 – Sun International today reported the preliminary effects of Hurricane Michelle.

After completing a preliminary damage assessment of its facilities and property on Paradise Island, the Company is reporting that the effects on Atlantis have not been significant. Atlantis remains fully operational and is expected to return to normal levels of operation with clean up already having begun on its pool decks and roadways.

At the Ocean Club, damage was sustained to the landscaping and the grounds.
