Explanation of Responses:

1. As provided in the Issuer's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into one share of Class A Common Stock. In addition, each share of Class B Common Stock will convert automatically into one share of Class A Common Stock upon any transfer, whether or not for value, except for certain permitted transfers described in the Issuer's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

2. The shares reported in the table above were previously reported pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by the reporting person "Pritzker Family U.S. Situs Trusts," which was comprised of a group of U.S. situs trusts and various entities owned, directly or indirectly, by U.S. situs trusts for the benefit of certain lineal descendants of Nicholas J. Pritzker, deceased, and their immediate family members. Thomas J. Pritzker, Marshall E. Eisenberg and Karl J. Breyer served as co-trustees of all such U.S. situs trusts until their resignation as trustees on November 30, 2012, at which time Lewis M. Linn and Aaron Stern were appointed successor co-trustees of the Reporting Person.

3. This Form 3 is being filed in connection with the appointment of Mr. Linn and Mr. Stern as successor co-trustees and to report the Reporting Person's beneficial ownership on a stand-alone basis. Mr. Linn and Mr. Stern, solely in their capacity as co-trustees of the Reporting Person, have executed a joinder to the Amended and Restated Global Hyatt Agreement, and are thereby subject to the provisions of that agreement. Accordingly, immediately following the appointment of the successor co-trustees, the shares remain shares of Class B Common Stock.

Remarks:

Member of 10% owner group. Lewis M. Linn and Aaron Stern serve as co-trustees of the Reporting Person and have investment power over the shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person. The beneficiaries of the Reporting Person do not have investment power over the shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Reporting Person. In addition, the Reporting Person may be deemed to be a member of a group because the Reporting Person has agreed to certain voting agreements and limitations on transfers of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein.
