On February 23, 2006, HHC (now Hilton Worldwide) acquired most of the lodging and certain other
assets of Hilton Group plc and related companies (collectively, “Hilton International”). The assets
included substantially all of Hilton International’s company-owned and company-leased hotels, hotel
franchise agreements and hotel management agreements, as well as certain assets including the
“Hilton” name and mark outside of the United States and Hilton International's rights to the “Scandic”,
“Scandic by Hilton” and “Coral by Hilton” trade names and marks. Prior to the close of the transaction,
HHC (now Hilton Worldwide), through one or more of its subsidiaries, owned the Hilton trade name
and mark in the United States and held an exclusive license from Hilton International to franchise and
use the Hilton trade name and mark in Canada and Mexico.
Hilton International began operating Hilton hotels outside the United States in 1964, and it began
offering franchises for the operation of Hilton hotels outside of the United States in 1968. In 2001,
Hilton Group plc acquired Scandic Hotels AB (“Scandic”). In 2004, Hilton International began offering
franchises under the “Scandic by Hilton” trade name and mark. Between 2004 and October 2007
Hilton International offered franchises under the “Trident Hilton” trade name and mark in conjunction
with Oberoi Hotels PVT Ltd. (which owns and licenses the “Trident” name and mark) and from 2003 to
2006, Hilton International offered franchises under the “Coral by Hilton” trade name and mark. As a
result of the Hilton International transaction, HHC (now Hilton Worldwide), through one or more of its
subsidiaries, was the exclusive owner of the “Hilton”, “Scandic” and “Scandic by Hilton” trade names
and marks worldwide. On April 26, 2007, HHC (now Hilton Worldwide) sold the Scandic brand, trade
names and marks to EQT, a Swedish private equity firm, and HHC (now Hilton Worldwide) ceased to
offer licenses under the “Scandic” or “Scandic by Hilton” trade names and marks.
