Thunderbird Resorts Inc.: May 2011 Revenue and Philippines and India Updates

PANAMA, REPUBLIC OF PANAMA--(Marketwire - June 8, 2011) - Thunderbird Resorts Inc. ("Thunderbird" or "Group") (FRANKFURT:4TR)(EURONEXT:TBIRD) reports the following revenues for May 2011:

PHILIPPINES UPDATE

On 3 June 2011, the Group announced that Thunderbird's affiliates in the Philippines, Eastbay Resorts, Inc. ("ERI") and Thunderbird Pilipinas Hotels and Resorts, Inc. ("TPHR"), filed lawsuits in the Philippines, against the Philippine Amusement & Gaming Corporation ("PAGCOR"). The lawsuits were filed in response to notifications by PAGCOR that it "would initiate cessation proceedings" unless by 3 June 2011 ERI and TPHR provided "written unconditional acceptance" of onerous new Authority to Operate ("ATO") terms proposed by PAGCOR. The ATOs do not grant the right to PAGCOR to unilaterally impose new conditions and to threaten termination on this basis. Upon presentation of the ERI and TPHR lawsuits, the Court granted 72-hour temporary restraining orders ("TROs") enjoining PAGCOR from initiating the threatened cessation proceedings. On 7 June 2011 and 8 June 2011, the Court granted extensions of the TROs to both TPHR and ERI for an additional 17 days. The Court also consolidated the TPHR and ERI cases and set hearings before the 17-day period lapses to rule on motions for Temporary Injunctions enjoining PAGCOR from initiating the threatened cessation proceedings during the entire trial proceedings.

INDIA UPDATE

The Group is pleased to report that its India affiliate Daman Hospitality Private Ltd. ("DHPL") has now received from Delta Corp Ltd the equity component of the completion funding. The hotel construction shall resume within 2 weeks and we anticipate completion in phases with a full opening in late 2011. As part of the India transaction, Delta had the option to execute a subscription agreement to purchase 840,000 shares of Thunderbird common stock. We now announce that the parties did not execute the final share subscription agreement by the required deadline and the option has now automatically expired.
