Hewitt and Exult Stockholders Approve Merger,
Create Clear Leader in HR Outsourcing Industry
Hewitt's HR Domain Expertise Married With Exult's BPO Operational Skills
LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill. and IRVINE, Calif. - Hewitt Associates, Inc. (NYSE: HEW), a global human resources services firm, and Exult, Inc.
(NASDAQ: EXLT), a leading provider of HR business process outsourcing (BPO), today announced that their stockholders have voted to approve the companies' proposed merger. Expected to close October 1, the merger will create the clear leader in
the HR BPO industry.
The combined organization, known as Hewitt Associates,
Inc., will be the leading provider of HR BPO services with a market share greater than 30 percent.1 Hewitt already
serves more than 300 companies and more than 18 million employees with benefits outsourcing services.
"This marks a defining moment for Hewitt and for the HR BPO industry", said Dale Gifford, Hewitt chairman and CEO. "Hewitt will be the clear leader in a rapidly growing industry, setting the standard
with the most flexible and comprehensive solution available today".

Source: Everest Partners, LP, based on total contract value for the indicated contract term, and Gildner & Associates, Inc., based on number of clients with more
than 10,000 employees. Hewitt makes no representation as to the accuracy of these estimates.
Joining Hewitt's 64 years of HR domain expertise with HR BPO pioneer Exult's operational
skills and Six Sigma quality approach to outsourcing, the combined company will be the only organization capable of offering total HR outsourcing services-benefits, payroll, recruiting, learning and more-on an integrated basis with HR
consulting expertise. The company's combined revenues are expected to approach $3.0 billion in fiscal 2005.
"Our integration into an HR outsourcing force of this size and scale presents us with tremendous growth avenues", said Jim Madden, Exult
founder and CEO. "Since we announced our intent to merge in June, we've been presented with several sales opportunities-including some opportunities that would not have been available to us as separate organizations. Already, clients
and prospects are realizing our combined strengths and potential".
Hewitt and Exult's clients, including International Paper, have expressed positive reactions to the companies' merger.
"International Paper is extremely pleased with the merger between Hewitt and Exult as we expect to realize significant benefits from their
combined portfolio of global products and services", said Paul Karre, vice president of U.S. HR for International Paper. "We look forward to partnering with the combined company to continue to expand and improve on HR service delivery
across International Paper's businesses".
Exult's operations will be merged into Hewitt's existing HR outsourcing business, which will continue to be led by Hewitt's HR outsourcing leader, Bryan Doyle. Kevin Campbell will lead market strategy and development for
Hewitt's outsourcing business.
Hewitt's board of
directors increases from 10 to 12 with the addition of two of Exult's outside directors. Joining the board are Steve Denning, managing partner of global direct investment firm General Atlantic Partners, LLC, a founding investor in Exult; and
Thomas J. Neff, U.S. chairman of global executive recruiting firm Spencer Stuart.

"HR is and will continue to be our core business", said Gifford. "Today, that business,
anchored by deep HR content knowledge, is enhanced with increased process skills, a broader global presence, additional service capabilities and the infrastructure to support future growth. With this solid foundation, companies can rely on Hewitt as
their one-stop shop for all of their HR needs".
Transaction Terms and Additional Information
Hewitt and Exult announced their plans to merge on June 16, 2004. Under terms of the merger agreement, Exult stockholders will receive 0.20 shares of Hewitt Class A common stock, on a tax-free basis, for each Exult share. Hewitt stock will
continue trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol HEW. Exult stock will no longer trade as of October 1, 2004.
Share Repurchase and Additional Liquidity Events
Given certain legal limitations that existed between the initial announcement of the merger through the completion of the stockholder votes, Hewitt
has not purchased any of its shares under its previously announced $150 million authorization. Going forward the company may purchase common shares under the existing authorization, depending on market conditions and other customary factors.
Hewitt also announced that it has been advised by FORE
Holdings LLC (formerly known as Hewitt Holdings LLC) that FORE Holdings will release the transfer restrictions on 2 percent of the original number of aggregate Class B and Class C shares each month from October through December 2004 (1.6 million
shares per month). These shares may be sold pursuant to the company's S-3 registration statement which became effective August 31, 2004. The company is unable to estimate how many of the released shares will be sold under that registration
statement in that period. Restrictions on 2 percent of the 0.9 million Class A shares to be held by certain Exult senior executives after the closing of the merger will also be released each month from
-more-
3
October through December 2004 (0.02 million shares per month). The company is unable to estimate how
many of the related shares will be sold. FORE Holdings stated that liquidity opportunities after December 2004 could include a continuation of the release of transfer restrictions at the same or a different rate, a managed secondary offering,
negotiated sales to institutions or a combination of these scenarios. As previously disclosed, sales restrictions on remaining Class B and Class C shares and shares held by certain senior Exult executives are expected to lapse on June 27,
2005.

(NYSE: HEW) is the world's foremost provider of human resources outsourcing and consulting services. The firm consults with more than 2,300 companies and administers human resources, health care, payroll and retirement programs on behalf of

PRESS RELEASE DATED JANUARY 11, 2010 - CLOSING OF ACQUISITION OF COLOMBIAN MINING
exhibt-99_7.htm
Minatura Gold Announces Closing of Acquisition of Colombian Gold Mining Assets and Zaragoza Project Drilling Program
Press Release
Source: Minatura Gold On Monday January 11, 2010, 12:33 pm EST
FERNLEY, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Minatura Gold (OTCBB:
MGOL
-
News
) announced today that it completed the closing of the transactions resulting in the acquisition of Colombian mining concessions located in the departments
of Antioquia, Bolivar, Caldas and Cordoba which include 21 awarded mining contracts covering approximately 99,000 acres of mining property (the "Concessions"), including the 1,775 acre alluvial gold mining operation in Zaragoza, Antioquia (near El Bagre) (the "Zaragoza Project").
Minatura also entered into agreements with SonicSampDrill (Netherlands) and Sonic Sampling & Supply (California) to provide two CRS-V crawling drilling units, tooling and support equipment together with trained crews to provide drilling, sampling and training services for the Zaragoza Project. The drilling program in Zaragoza is being
conducted as part of the preparation of a Form 7/NI 43-101 technical report for MGOL.
In the acquisition transactions, MGOL sold 10,675,466 shares of its common stock to Minatura International LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("MINTL") in exchange for $3.8 million in cash. In addition, MGOL acquired Colombian mining Concessions and certain mining equipment and other related assets from MINTL's subsidiary
Proyecto Coco Hondo S.A.S ("CocoHondo") through MGOL's subsidiary Minatura Colombia S.A.S. ("MCOL"). MCOL assumed approximately $2.2 million in liabilities from CocoHondo and will pay CocoHondo approximately $5.9 million over approximately the next 180 days based on the delivery of bills of sale for the assigned assets. The first bill of sale was executed and delivered on December 31, 2009, and included all the Concessions and all the assets relating to the Zaragoza Project. MCOL
has until March 31, 2010, to pay $3.3 million relating to such bill of sale. The remaining assets, primarily those relating to the San Pablo Gold Mine and including one additional mining concession, will be subject to a final bill of sale for approximately $2.6 million anticipated to be delivered in April 2010 when CocoHondo is expected to deliver sufficient financial statements for such assets that will satisfy the SEC public reporting requirements for MGOL. The actual amount of the final bill of sale will be
subject to change based on the verifiable book value of the covered assets as of the date of transfer.
MINTL has paid MGOL $10,000 for the option to purchase 100% of the outstanding equity securities of Minatura Nevada Corp. ("MNEV") before June 30, 2010. The purchase price will be paid to MINTL in shares of MGOL common stock equal to the cost basis of the assets of Minatura Nevada as set forth in audited financial statements with
a date no older than 90 days from the date of closing. The number of shares will be computed by dividing the purchase price by the average of the trading price on each of the 22 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the closing date. It is expected that less than 450,000 shares of MGOL common stock will be issued to MINTL for MNEV assuming an average trading price of $8.25.
In connection with the acquisition transactions, and as a condition to closing, certain shareholders of MGOL cancelled 8,500,000 shares of MGOL common stock. Giving effect to such cancellation, the outstanding number of shares of MGOL's common stock is 17,010,066.
Paul Dias, the CEO of MGOL, stated, "[W]e are excited to acquire these important mining concessions and related assets in Colombia and to start our drilling program on the Zaragoza Project. We will immediately start to conduct feasibility studies on several of these concessions and hire mining executive management and consultants to
create mining plans in these historically rich gold producing regions".
Forward-Looking Statement: This press release includes certain forward-looking statements. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the perceived benefits from the acquisition of the Concessions, completing an additional merger with MNEV and some additional asset acquisitions, the continued ownership
and operation of mining concessions, production of gold at historical rates, costs of operations, delays, and any other difficulties related to producing minerals such as gold, continued maintenance of the operating business, price of gold, marketing and sales of produced minerals, risks and effects of legal and administrative proceedings and governmental regulation, especially in a foreign country, future financial and operational results, competition, general economic conditions, and the ability to manage and
continue growth.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those indicated. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements we make in this news release include market conditions and those
set forth in reports or documents we file from time to time with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to revise or update such statements to reflect current events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

will allow for a relatively efficient and low cost relocation of our existing
operating groups over the next several months", said William G. Rankin, UQM
Technologies' President and Chief Executive Officer.

power dense, high efficiency electric motors, generators and power electronic

accessories and other vehicle auxiliaries and distributed power generation
applications. The Company's headquarters, engineering and product development
center, and motor manufacturing operation are located in Frederick, Colorado.

www.uqm.com.
This Release contains statements that constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. These statements

assets
VAIL, Colo. - December 8, 2004 - Vail Resorts, Inc. (NYSE: MTN) announced today the closing of the sale of its 49% minority equity interest in The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch for $13.0 million, with net cash proceeds to Vail Resorts of $12.7 million. It is
expected that this transaction will result in an approximate $9.0 million total gain for Vail Resorts in the second fiscal quarter, $2.9 million of which is anticipated to be recorded as Real Estate Reported EBITDA with the balance to be recorded as a gain on sale of
assets. The transaction price indicates a total value for the hotel, before debt, of approximately $90 million, $378,000 per key, or approximately 28 times the EBITDA of the hotel venture for the 12-month period of Vail Resorts' fiscal 2004.
Even though the construction cost of the project was sizeable, Vail Resorts' net investment in the hotel venture was only $4.1 million as of the date of sale. The original construction costs were partially offset by the development and profitable sales of a
number of penthouses and condominiums. In addition, funding for the hotel's spa at The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch came primarily from the sale of Bachelor Gulch Club memberships to property owners in Bachelor Gulch. The spa, with some 19 treatment rooms and
handsomely-appointed public space, is not part of the transaction announced today, and will still be owned 100% by Vail Resorts and managed by Ritz-Carlton. In addition to the spa, Vail Resorts will retain 100% ownership of its commercial units currently located in
the hotel.
The Company's interest was acquired as described above by a new joint venture between Gencom BG, LLC and Lehman BG, LLC. Gencom BG, LLC is comprised of the same investors as Continental Gencom, one of three partners to have invested in and owned the hotel since
its inception along with subsidiaries of Vail Resorts and Marriott International (parent company of Ritz-Carlton).
Construction of The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch began in July 2000 and was completed in November 2002. The two-year old Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch was the first luxury resort to open in the mountains of Colorado in more than a decade, and for the past two
years, the hotel has been operated under a 50-year management agreement with Ritz-Carlton. The 237-room property is the only year-round, mountain resort in The Ritz-Carlton collection of hotels. The luxury hotel features a ski-in, ski-out location at the base of the
Bachelor Gulch Express high-speed ski lift on Beaver Creek Mountain, and is now a posh fixture at Vail Resorts' prestigious and profitable Beaver Creek ski resort.
Adam Aron, Vail Resorts' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The sale of our interest in The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch, a hotel that we did not manage, is an expected and logical completion of a very successful investment. Vail Resorts was able
to sell its interest in the hotel at a favorable valuation, which will result in our recording an attractive gain. In addition, our ongoing Lodging Reported EBITDA will be favorably impacted, as a result of this transaction, in fiscal 2005, fiscal 2006 and beyond,
when compared with fiscal 2004, by an estimated $1 million and $3 million in fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006, respectively. This is because we use the equity method of accounting for this joint venture".
Aron added, "We built The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch to assure our Beaver Creek guests unparalleled luxury lodging. That objective has certainly been realized. Not surprisingly, with all the recent improvements at Beaver Creek, it has risen to become the 4th
best-rated ski resort in North America in Ski Magazine's widely noted resort rankings. And, with Ritz-Carlton's long-term management contract having a remaining 48 years, Vail Resorts should continue to reap the benefits of having a high-end luxury hotel at the base
of Bachelor Gulch, one of the main access points to our Beaver Creek ski resort. We look forward to cooperating with The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch well into the future for the benefit of our mutual guests".
Aron continued, "Vail Resorts benefited in two additional ways from our original and skilled effort to build The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch. First, we quite profitably sold land to a separate venture in which Vail Resorts was not an equity participant; on
such land The Ritz-Carlton Club was built, immediately adjacent to The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch hotel. Like hotel guests, guests of The Ritz-Carlton Club buy considerable ski and golf product from us each year. Second, The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch hotel
venture contributed financially to the creation of the nearby Red Sky Ranch Golf Club (which Vail Resorts fully owns), and its two award winning golf courses. We are excited that Golf Magazine picked Red Sky Ranch as having the 1st and 4th best golf courses in
Colorado, and the 25th and 90th best golf courses in the United States ("The Top 100 You Can Play")".
Vail Resorts, Inc. is the premier mountain resort operator in North America. The Company's subsidiaries operate the mountain resorts of Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge and Keystone in Colorado, Heavenly Resort in California and Nevada and the Grand Teton Lodge
Company in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. In addition, the Company's RockResorts luxury resort hotel company operates 10 resort hotels throughout the United States. The Vail Resorts corporate website is www/vailresorts.com and the consumer websites are www/snow.com and
www/rockresorts.com
. Vail Resorts, Inc. is a publicly held company traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: MTN).
The Company uses a non-GAAP measure, Reported EBITDA (defined as segment net revenues less segment specific operating expenses plus gain on transfer of property, as applicable, plus segment equity income). Reported EBITDA is not a measure of financial
performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Items excluded from Reported EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Reported EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as
an alternative to, or substitute for, net income, cash flows generated by operations, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. Because
Reported EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Reported EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company believes that Reported
EBITDA is an indicative measure of the Company's operating performance, and it is generally used by investors to evaluate companies in the resort and lodging industries. In addition, because of the significance of long-lived assets to the operations of the Company
and the level of the Company's indebtedness, the Company also believes that Reported EBITDA is useful in measuring the Company's ability to fund capital expenditures and service debt. The Company uses Reported EBITDA targets in determining management bonuses.
Statements in this press release, other than statements of historical information, are forward looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including the continued profitable operating results of Beaver Creek Resort. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date hereof. Investors are also directed to other risks discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004 and other documents filed by the Company with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

by Clyde B. Anderson, executive chairman of the Company, certain family members and related parties of Mr. Anderson and senior management of the Company (collectively, the "Purchaser Group"), pursuant to a previously announced merger
agreement. The Company's stockholders adopted the merger agreement at a special stockholder meeting on December 8, 2015. Under the terms of the merger agreement, as a result of which the Company becomes a privately held company, stockholders

go-private merger proposal. The 93% premium to the stock price prior to announcing the merger in January represents a fair value for shareholders. Also, I am excited to lead the company into the next phase of its history. The
transaction returns the company to private ownership in a way that allows us to focus on our customers, suppliers, employees, and the communities we serve".
