     Yeoju Premium Outlets is the first project to be completed by Shinsegae
 Chelsea Co., Ltd., a joint venture between Simon (50%) and Shinsegae Co.,

 located primarily in the Seoul region, as well as 112 E-Marts comprising
 the largest and most successful discount store chain in Korea. Through its
 subsidiary Shinsegae International, Shinsegae is also a leading fashion
 distributor in Korea and manages and operates nine freestanding
 international luxury-brand stores -- including Armani, Coach, Dolce &

 250 shop-in-shops.
     Leslie T. Chao, Chief Executive Officer of Chelsea and chairman of the

 sophisticated consumer tastes make it a natural market for upscale outlets.
 Yeoju Premium Outlets brings together a collection of brands unprecedented
 in Korea, a unique outdoor setting, and a location convenient to a large
 segment of the population of greater Seoul. We are very pleased to be
 opening in Korea with a first project of such high quality."
