Mandarin Oriental Dellis Cay Experience Auctioned off for Charity at Formula One Grand Prix in Monaco

MONACO, France--(Business Wire)--
On Friday, May 22, 2009, Dr. Cem Kinay, CEO & Chairman of The O Property
Collection (OPC), donated a Mandarin Oriental Dellis Cay Luxury Experience on
his exclusive Caribbean island for the charity auction at Amber Fashion 2009,
which was hosted alongside the Formula One Grand Prix in Monaco to support the
Elton John AIDS Foundation. Presented by Sir Elton John`s partner David Furnish,
the Lot 1 package included a seven-night stay at the Mandarin Oriental Dellis
Cay after its Grand Opening anticipated for mid 2010, complete with roundtrip
business class airfare for two to the Turks & Caicos Islands and a selection of
luxury items from high-end brands such as Apple, Burberry and Chopard to further
enhance the retreat.

Formula One Management CEO Bernie Ecclestone won the original bid on the package
for $35,000 but immediately re-donated the lot back to the auction which then
resold for $40,000, yielding a total of $75,000 for the cause. Dr. Kinay was
pleased to contribute to the spirit of generosity for the evening, adding that
"I am very happy we were able to contribute to the success of the event and
donate to the distinguished Elton John AIDS Foundation. It is inspiring to see
that such a diverse group of celebrities from the sports, business and fashion
worlds came together to support such a vital organization."

Petra Ecclestone, daughter of the Mr. Ecclestone, unveiled her new collection of
top-end menswear, which prompted the attendance of an illustrious group of
Formula One drivers like Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button, Nico Rosberg and
Sebastian Vettel. Guests also included HSH Prince Albert of Monaco, Sir Richard
Branson, Michael Johnson and Elisabeth Hurley, to mention only a few.
