PRESS RELEASE

Norbert Zuber Appointed Property Sales & Marketing Director at Royal Phuket Marina (14 Aug 2007)

Experienced Sales and Marketing professional Norbert Zuber has been appointed Property Sales and Marketing Director at Royal Phuket Marina.

He joins the "luxury lifestyle community" as development enters its second phase following the sell-out success of its first condominiums and penthouses to go on the market.

Aged 46, the Swiss-Canadian joins from Les Nordiques, a Phuket-based luxury property development company at which he was Managing Director.

Mr Zuber has over two decades experience as a sales and financial professional.

Possessing a Bachelor in Business Administration (Accounting) from Geneva's Webster University, his career has spanned property branding, sales and marketing, accounting, audit control, and finance management.

He began his career as a financial analyst, rising to finance manager, with a European group in Geneva.

He moved to Asia in 1995, as audit manager of a multinational computer manufacturer, based in Singapore.

In 2005 he arrived in Phuket, as Sales and Marketing Director for the Australian-owned Watson Property Group, managing the sales of their Bel Air Panwa and Kata Heights projects.

Mr Zuber is multilingual, speaking English, French, German and intermediate Thai.

His immediate responsibilities at Royal Phuket Marina include marketing of the latest properties on the market - a cluster of luxury 'Royal Villas' with private pools and moorings, and an 'Aquaminium' complex of condominiums in three blocks above internal 'drive in' boat berths.

About Royal Phuket Marina

Royal Phuket Marina is Thailand's first world-class luxury lifestyle marina community, rivalling top resort communities in Europe and the Caribbean. It is located on Phuket's up-and-coming eastern seaboard overlooking scenic Phang Nga Bay.

The Marina was developed by telecom tycoon Gulu Lalvani, the founder of Binatone, the world's second largest manufacturer of digital cordless phones - in line with his vision of promoting Phuket as a world-class yachting hub in one of the world's most idyllic and accessible locations.

Following the successful sale of all luxury condos and penthouses in Phase One, Royal Phuket Marina is now selling 'Aquaminium' condominium units with private, internal boat-berths and a collection of eight palatial 'Royal Villas', with up to five bedrooms, private swimming pools and doorstep moorings.

The marina is double the size of any other yachting haven in Phuket, with 350 berths for yachts of up to 30 metres long, and the only facility with a non tidal boat lock, deep water basin and private moorings on the doorstep of residences.

More than half of the Royal Phuket Marina development is devoted to leisure and shopping facilities, including cafes, restaurants, a fitness centre and spa, which are set amidst landscaped gardens and attractive communal areas.

Royal Phuket Marina was awarded the prestigious "Five Gold Anchor" by the Yacht Harbour Association, an arm of the British Marine Federation.

The marina has quickly established itself at the forefront of Phuket's yachting establishment, sponsoring the prestigious international Phuket King's Cup each December.

In partnership with The Cruising Club International, 'The Royal Phuket Marina Cruising Club' is the first Fractional Boat Ownership Company in Thailand, offering the opportunity to own an equity percentage of a range of luxury power boats, sharing purchase and maintenance costs through syndicated ownership.

The entire US$150 million Royal Phuket Marina project is due for completion in 2010.
