  TUI Travel completes GBP 400 million offering of Convertible Bonds due 2017

TUI Travel announces that the terms of its offering (the "Offering") of senior 
unsecured convertible bonds due 2017 (the "Convertible Bonds") have been fixed 
as follows: 
 
·    the issue size is GBP 400 million; 
·    the conversion price has been set at 3.8234 pence per share, which 
represents a premium of 33% over the volume weighted average price of TUI 
Travel's ordinary shares from launch to pricing; 
·    the coupon has been set at 4.9% per annum payable semi-annually in arrear; 
and 
·    settlement is expected to occur on or around 27 April 2010. 
 
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used alongside other financing measures 
to: ensure the Group is well placed to exploit its strong pipeline of attractive 
acquisition opportunities; extend and diversify its debt maturity profile and 
broaden its sources of finance; and reduce the need to refinance all of the 
existing bank facilities in the future (due in June 2012). 
 
Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, RBS Hoare Govett Limited, Barclays Bank PLC, 
Citigroup Global Markets Limited, Commerzbank AG and ING Bank N.V.  are acting 
as joint bookrunners (the "Joint Bookrunners"). 
 
Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch and Lazard acted as TUI Travel's financial 
advisors on this transaction. 
 
Applications will be made for the Convertible Bonds to be admitted to listing on 
the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and admitted to trading on the 
Professional Securities Market of the London Stock Exchange.
