PROPOSAL 3 — APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S
2005 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN
       On May 12, 2005, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 2,000,000 Ordinary Shares in connection with awards of stock options, restricted shares and other-stock based awards under a new stock incentive plan (the “2005 Stock Incentive Plan” or the “Plan”). The following is a brief description of certain anticipated terms of the Plan. If the shareholders approve the Plan, the Board of Directors expects that during 2005 it will adopt a plan that is consistent in all material respects with the following description.
2005 Stock Incentive Plan
Participants
       The Plan will allow the grant of stock options, restricted shares and other stock-based awards to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries (including prospective directors, officers, employees and consultants).
Plan Administration
       The Plan will be administered by a committee composed of two or more members of the Board of Directors. Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable law, the committee will have plenary authority to administer the Plan, including, but not limited to, the authority to (i) designate participants, (ii) determine the type or types of awards to be granted to a participant, (iii) determine the number of Ordinary Shares to be covered by, or with respect to which payments, rights or other matters are to be calculated in connection with, awards, (iv) take any other action that the committee determines is necessary to comply with applicable law and (v) make any other determination and take any other action that the committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan.
Shares Available For Awards
       Subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain corporate events, the aggregate number of the Ordinary Shares that may be delivered pursuant to awards granted under the Plan will be 2,000,000. If an award granted under the Plan is forfeited or otherwise expires, terminates or is canceled without the delivery of Ordinary Shares, then the Ordinary Shares covered by that award will again be available to be delivered pursuant to awards under the Plan.

3


       Upon the occurrence of any corporate event affecting the Ordinary Shares, the committee in its discretion will have the authority to make such adjustments and other substitutions to the Plan and awards under the Plan as it deems equitable or desirable in its sole discretion.
Stock Options
       The committee will have the authority to grant both incentive stock options (“ISOs”) and nonqualified stock options (“NSOs”) under the Plan. Except as otherwise determined by the committee in an award agreement, the exercise price per share for options cannot be less than the fair market value of an Ordinary Share on the date of grant. All options granted under the Plan will be NSOs unless the applicable award agreement expressly states that the option is intended to be an ISO.
       The term of each option will be determined by the committee. The exercise price will be payable with cash (or its equivalent) or by other methods as permitted by the committee. The vesting schedule of each option will be determined by the committee.
Restricted Shares
       Restricted shares are Ordinary Shares that are subject to forfeiture to the Company during the restricted period. During the restricted period, restricted shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered except as provided in the Plan or the applicable award agreement. During the restricted period, unless otherwise provided by the committee, a participant holding restricted shares will have all other rights, powers and privileges of a shareholder with respect to the restricted shares, except that, unless otherwise provided by the committee, (i) the participant will not be entitled to delivery of the certificates representing such restricted shares until the end of the restricted period and unless all other vesting requirements have been fulfilled or waived, (ii) other than regular cash dividends and such other distributions as the Board of Directors may in its sole discretion designate, the Company will retain custody of all distributions made or declared with respect to the restricted shares, and such distributions will be subject to the same restrictions, terms and vesting and other conditions as are applicable to the restricted shares, until such time as the restricted shares with respect to which such distributions have been made become vested and (iii) a breach of any restrictions, terms or conditions provided in the Plan or established by the committee with respect to any restricted shares will cause a forfeiture to the Company of such restricted shares. The participant will be entitled to any cash dividends made with respect to restricted shares either at the time the cash dividends are made or at the time that the restricted shares vest, as determined by the committee in its sole discretion.
Other Stock-Based Awards
       Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the committee may grant to participants other stock-based or stock-related awards. The committee may determine the amounts and terms and conditions of any such awards provided that they comply with applicable law.
Amendment and Termination of the Plan
       Subject to any government regulation and to the rules of any stock exchange or quotation system on which the Ordinary Shares may be listed or quoted, the Board of Directors will have the authority to amend the Plan without the approval of the Company’s shareholders except that shareholder approval will be required for any amendment that would (i) increase the maximum number of the Ordinary Shares available for awards under the Plan or (ii) change the class of individuals eligible to participate under the Plan. No modification,

4


amendment or termination of the Plan that is adverse to a participant will be effective without the consent of the affected participant, unless otherwise provided by the committee in the applicable award agreement.
Change of Control
       The Plan or the applicable award agreement will provide for the treatment of outstanding awards in the event of a change in control of the Company and will define the events that constitute a change in control.
Term of The Plan
       No award may be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the date the Plan is adopted.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A
VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S
2005 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN.

Kersaf does not have any voting rights with respect to its Ordinary Shares of the Company. In connection with the July 2001 restructuring of the Company’s majority shareholder, Kersaf and certain of its affiliates granted irrevocable proxies, in varying amounts, to vote all of its Ordinary Shares to Caledonia, WLG and CMS (the “Kersaf Proxy Shares”). Therefore, the amounts presented in this table for Caledonia and WLG each include 429,030 of the Kersaf Proxy Shares. The amounts presented in this table for CMS include the remaining 276,019 of Kersaf Proxy Shares.
 
(5) Based upon information contained in the Schedule 13G/ A filed by Baron on February 15, 2005.
 
(6) Amounts presented in this table reflect the beneficial ownership by each of Kersaf and CMS of the 1,033,779 Ordinary Shares held by RRIL and RRHL, 983,579 of which are held by RRHL and 50,200 of which are held by RRIL; Kersaf and CMS share dispositive power over the 1,033,779 Ordinary Shares held by RRHL and RRIL due to their joint ownership of RRHL and RRIL.
 
In addition, pursuant to an agreement entered into in July 2001, RRHL and RRIL granted to CMS an option to purchase all or a portion of 1,150,000 of the Company’s Ordinary Shares then held by RRHL and RRIL. The number of Ordinary Shares subject to this option is currently 276,019 Ordinary Shares. This option expires on July 2, 2006. Amounts presented in this table treat all of the Ordinary Shares subject to this option as being beneficially owned by both Kersaf and CMS, both due to the shared rights of disposition described in the preceding paragraph and the option.
 
(7) Consists of: (i) 1,724,714 Ordinary Shares held by CMS and (ii) 983,579 Ordinary Shares held by RRHL and the 50,200 Ordinary Shares held by RRIL over which CMS and Kersaf share dispositive power as discussed in Note 6 above, which shares include 276,019 Kersaf Proxy Shares as defined and discussed in Note 4 above.
 
(8) Based upon information contained in the Schedule 13G/ A filed by FMR Corp. and certain affiliates on February 14, 2005.
 
(9) If the directors and officers as a group were to exercise their vested options, they would own 0.2% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding as of the Record Date (excluding shares beneficially owned by the Kerzner Family Trust).
       As of the Record Date, the Company had approximately 703 holders of record of approximately 36,306,967 Ordinary Shares, excluding 7,072,029 Ordinary Shares held as treasury stock.
       All of the Company’s Ordinary Shares have the same voting rights.

       The amounts reflected in this “Major Shareholders” section are compiled and derived from SEC filings by each of Caledonia, Istithmar, Kersaf, Baron, CMS and FMR and other sources.
       In April 2004, the Company issued $230.0 million principal amount of 2.375% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024 which, after related issuance costs, resulted in net proceeds of approximately $223.7 million. The 2.375% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations of the Company and mature on April 15, 2024, unless they are converted, redeemed or repurchased before the maturity date. The 2.375% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes may be converted into cash and Ordinary Shares at an initial conversion rate of 17.1703 shares per $1,000 principal amount in accordance with the terms of the indenture. This conversion rate is equal to a conversion price of approximately $58.24 per Ordinary Share.
       In July 2004, pursuant to the Company’s “Heads of Agreement” with the Bahamian Government, the Company completed an equity offering in the Bahamas of 4,227,000 Bahamian Depositary Receipts (“BDRs”), which are the equivalent of 427,700 Ordinary Shares.
