               Hyatt Corp. (Hyatt Domestic) is a wholly owned subsidiary of            
          petitioner H Group Holding, Inc. and Subsidiaries (HGH).  HIC is             
          a wholly owned subsidiary of petitioner AIC Holding, Inc. and                
          Subsidiaries (AIC).  All of these entities were organized under              
          the laws of the State of Delaware, and their principal offices at            
          all pertinent times were located in Chicago, Illinois.  The                  
          relevant consolidated corporate Federal income tax returns of HGH
