per share. The dividend will be payable on December 13, 2013 to

Outlook
Holloway expects revenue growth at its Western Canadian hotels to
moderate in coming quarters given the high level of operating results
currently being generated. Holloway expects modest revenue growth at
its Atlantic Canadian hotels.
Holloway will continue to seek operational efficiencies, pursue select
capital projects to generate increased revenues and will
opportunistically reduce debt and repurchase shares. Holloway also
intends to pursue select acquisitions as opportunities arise.

*Hotel revenues have been restated to account for IFRIC 13-Customer
Loyalty Programmes which resulted in a reduction in revenues and
operating expenses of $0.3 million for the three months ended September
30, 2012 and $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2012. This reclassification has no impact on hotel operating income,
net income, or other measures of hotel performance. IFRIC 13-Customer
Loyalty Programmes requires the costs of loyalty points programs to be
recorded as a reduction in hotel revenues.
