<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 32.6pt">On August 14, 2013,
Viad Corp issued a press release announcing that the contract to operate concessions in Glacier National Park, held by its Glacier
Park, Inc. (&ldquo;Glacier Park&rdquo;) business unit, will end on December 31, 2013. Upon completion of the contract term, the
company is entitled to a cash payment of $25 million for its &ldquo;possessory interest,&rdquo; which generally means the value
of the structures acquired or constructed, fixtures installed and improvements made to the concession property during the term
of the contract. The company is also entitled to an estimated $5 million to $6 million for the personal property used at the facilities
covered by the concession contract. Of the 1,015 rooms currently operated by Glacier Park, only 480 are covered by the concession
contract. Following the expiration of the concession contract on December 31, 2013, the ongoing Glacier Park business will include:
Glacier Park Lodge (161 rooms in East Glacier, Montana); Grouse Mountain Lodge (143 rooms in Whitefish, Montana); St. Mary Lodge,
Cabins and Motel (115 rooms in St. Mary, Montana); the Prince of Wales Hotel (86 rooms in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta,
