Cantor Fitzgerald Europe is the beneficial owner of 979,872 Gresham Hotel Group
PLC ordinary shares.  979,872  of these shares are held to hedge Contract for
Differences ("CFD") positions for clients.

A Long CFD is a product where the client to whom the product is sold is taking a
long economic interest in the underlying share price such that the client can
realise a gain if the price of the underlying securities rises above the
reference price.

A purchaser of a CFD contract will realise a gain if the price of the underlying
security goes up. A seller of a CFD contract will realise a gain if the price of
the underlying security goes down.

There are no written or oral agreements between Cantor Fitzgerald Europe and any
clients concerning the control of voting rights in relation to the underlying
shares used to hedge the CFDs.

The CFD contracts are open-ended and there is no rollover into new contracts
