Hilton Announces U.S. Dollar Price for Its Tender Offer and Related Consent Solicitation for Its 7.430% Chilean Inflation-Indexed Notes Due 2009

Business Wire, Oct 22, 2007

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- Hilton Hotels Corporation (NYSE:HLT) ("Hilton") announced today the determination of the total consideration in U.S. dollars to be paid pursuant to its cash tender offer and related consent solicitation for its 7.430% Chilean Inflation-Indexed (UF) Notes Due 2009 (the "CLP Notes").

The total consideration payable for the CLP Notes accepted for payment that were validly tendered with consents and not validly withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 1, 2007 (the "CLP Note Consent Payment Deadline"), will be approximately $130.02 per CLP50,000 original principal amount of CLP Notes, representing the conversion of the CLP total consideration of CLP65,560.95 per CLP50,000 original principal amount of CLP Notes into U.S. dollars at a rate of CLP504.25 = $1.00. All of the CLP Notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the CLP Note Consent Payment Deadline and, accordingly, all CLP Notes are eligible to receive the total consideration.

Holders whose CLP Notes are accepted for payment in the tender offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest for such CLP Notes from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the payment date for the CLP Notes purchased in the tender offer.

The applicable total consideration and tender offer consideration to be paid in respect of securities purchased pursuant to Hilton's cash tender offers and related consent solicitations for its 7.625% Notes due 2008, 7.200% Notes due 2009, 8.250% Notes due 2011, 7.625% Notes due 2012, 7.500% Notes due 2017 and 8.000% Quarterly Interest Bonds due 2031 (collectively, the "Notes", and together with the CLP Notes, the "Securities"), announced in Hilton's press release dated as of October 19, 2007, remain unchanged.

The tender offer for each issue of Securities will expire at 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on October 24, 2007 (unless extended or earlier terminated by Hilton, the "Offer Expiration Date"). As indicated in the Offer to Purchase (as defined below), it is expected that the Offer Expiration Date will be extended to coincide with the date that the Merger (as defined below) becomes effective.

Each tender offer and consent solicitation is being made independently of the other tender offers and consent solicitations and Hilton reserves the right to terminate, withdraw or amend each tender offer and consent solicitation independently of the other tender offers and consent solicitations at any time and from time to time.

The tender offers and consent solicitations relating to the Securities are made upon the terms and conditions set forth in Hilton's Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated September 12, 2007 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the related Consent and Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal"), as amended. The tender offers and consent solicitations are being conducted in connection with the previously announced merger agreement that provides for the acquisition of Hilton by BH Hotels LLC, an entity controlled by investment funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group L.P. (such transaction referred to herein as the "Merger"). The tender offers and consent solicitations are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the Merger having occurred, or such Merger occurring substantially concurrent with the Offer Expiration Date. However, the completion of the tender offers and consent solicitations is not a condition to completion of the Merger. Further details about the terms and conditions of the tender offers and the consent solicitations are set forth in the Offer to Purchase.
