On May 22, 2002, HX, together with a number of other stockholders, filed a Complaint against the Company, Shelbourne Properties I, Inc. and Shelbourne Properties III, Inc. in the Chancery Court for the County of New Castle, State of Delaware (the "Court") seeking an order (i) declaring invalid the reduction of the number of members of the Board of Directors from nine to four and simultaneous appointments of the current directors, (ii) declaring that the current directors serve in de facto capacities only, and (iii) directing the Company to hold a stockholder election on a date certain, with appropriate record dates, for the purpose of electing directors to all nine seats on the Board of Directors, by further ordering defendants to maintain the status quo ante by not filling any of the six vacant seats on the Board of Directors pending the succession of the holdover initial directors by those elected pursuant to such stockholder election, and by further ordering the Company to take all such steps as are necessary to lawfully implement and effectuate such elections, and further ordering all such additional equitable relief as the Court deems just. In addition, HX independently filed a motion with the Court seeking to intervene in the actions brought by certain other stockholders of the Company relating to the setting of a date for the 2002 annual meeting of the Company's stockholders and, in the case of one of the actions, the declaration as to the number of seats on the Board of Directors to be voted upon at such meeting.
