Item 8.01. Other Events.

Our corporate governance guidelines are available on our website at www.eaglehospitality.com in the “Investor Relations/Corporate Governance” section. Among other things, our corporate governance guidelines provide that no director who is a former employee of our company can be independent until five years after the employment has ended. In addition, no director who is, or in the past five years has been, affiliated with or employed by a present or former auditor of our company or of an affiliate can be independent until five years after the end of either the affiliation or the auditing relationship. The foregoing categorical standards assist our board of directors in making determinations of independence and are in addition to the independence criteria set forth in rules and regulations of the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange and as otherwise described in our previously filed 2006 proxy statement. None of our independent directors has ever been employed by our company or employed by or affiliated with our present or former independent registered public accounting firm.
