NEWS FACTS

• Regus today announces Lisa McFadin, founder of Helping Hands for a Sustainable Haiti, as the winner of ‘Win An Office’ sweepstakes.
• Regus is the world’s leading global provider of innovative workplace solutions with 1,000 locations in 450 cities and 80 countries.

Regus (LSE:RGU), the world’s largest provider of fully equipped office space, announced today San Francisco entrepreneur Lisa McFadin as the winner of the company’s 2010 Bay Area ‘Win An Office’ Sweepstakes. The Founder of two local companies - Helping Hands for a Sustainable Haiti and Green Venues - McFadin has been awarded 12 months of fully furnished, fully equipped office space at any of Regus’ 28 Bay Area locations. Lisa has chosen to run both companies out of Regus’ premier Bay Area center at 505 Montgomery St. in San Francisco.

Being awarded this new headquarters for both of her businesses comes on the heels of Lisa’s recent trip to Haiti, where she was working to help victims devastated by January’s earthquake. Her company, Helping Hands for a Sustainable Haiti, works with an extensive network of other charitable organizations, including actor Sean Penn’s JP HRO, to find shelter for those displaced throughout the most ravaged areas. Her other business venture, Green Venues, helps educate corporations and the community on smart sustainability and will be a key figure in the rebuilding of the Haitian community.

"Winning this office through Regus gives us a much-needed headquarters for our organization,” Ms. McFadin said. "This really allows us to do so many wonderful things for people that really need our help. Haiti needs compassionate citizens to share their experiences and knowledge, so they can build a better and brighter future for themselves. I am truly thankful to have this opportunity through Regus.”

Regus is the global leader in flexible workplace solutions, offering its clients a range of cost-effective business-ready options including fully furnished, fully equipped offices, meeting rooms and lounges, all with on-site business and administrative support. For those who may not need a full-time workspace, Regus offers virtual offices, which allow businesses to instantly gain a presence with a prominent address, local telephone answering and mail handling services. Virtual offices allow businesses of all sizes to project a big business image without a big price tag.

"Regus is excited to have a part in this wonderful project,” said Bonnie Greco, Area Director, Regus Bay Area. "We hope Lisa McFadin and her great organizations will benefit immensely by having the chance to focus on their charitable efforts and not on the high-cost of leasing that comes along with traditional office spaces.”
