"We welcome both Simon and Manny to the Board, and believe this Agreement represents a constructive outcome for the Company and all ClubCorp shareholders,” said John Beckert, Chairman of the Board of ClubCorp. “Simon and Manny have broad experience working across a wide range of industries, including travel and leisure, and have served in leadership positions at both public and private companies. Our entire Board and management team are committed to enhancing shareholder value, and we intend to leverage our two new independent directors’ unique backgrounds to advance the Company’s growth and success."

“ClubCorp has a number of initiatives underway,” said Eric Affeldt, ClubCorp Chief Executive Officer. “We look forward to working together to continue our progress and consider additional opportunities to drive growth and unlock the value inherent in ClubCorp.”

We look forward to continuing the constructive dialogue we have had with the Board and management over the past few years,” said David Lorber, a Managing Member of FrontFour.

Pursuant to the Agreement, FrontFour has agreed to abide by certain customary standstill and voting provisions.
