(1)  Per $100,000 principal amount of Notes and excluding accrued and unpaid interest, which will be paid in addition to the total consideration or tender offer consideration, as applicable.
 
(2)      Includes the Consent Payment.
 
Each holder who validly tenders and does not validly withdraw its Notes and delivers its Consents to the proposed amendments prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 10, 2014, unless such time is extended by the Company (the “Consent Payment Deadline”), will receive, if such Notes are accepted for purchase pursuant to the tender offer, the total consideration of $104,375.00 per $100,000 principal amount of the Notes tendered, which includes $101,375.00 as the tender offer consideration and $3,000.00 as a consent payment. In addition, accrued interest up to, but not including, the applicable payment date of the Notes will be paid in cash on all validly tendered and accepted Notes.

The tender offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 PM, New York City time, on March 24, 2014, unless extended (the “Expiration Date”). Holders who validly tender and do not validly withdraw their Notes after the Consent Payment Deadline but on or prior to the Expiration Date will receive, if such Notes are accepted for purchase pursuant to the tender offer, the tender offer consideration of $101,375.00 per $100,000 principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes up to, but not including, the payment date, but will not receive the consent payment.

In connection with the tender offer, the Company is soliciting consents to amend the indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued to, among other things, eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain events of default and certain other provisions contained in that indenture, and release the collateral securing the Notes.
 
 
 

 
 
 
Tendered Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Consent Payment Deadline but not thereafter, except to the extent that the Company is required by law to provide additional withdrawal rights. Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Consent Payment Deadline will receive only the tender offer consideration if such Notes are accepted for purchase pursuant to the tender offer and will not be entitled to receive a consent payment. Subject to the terms and conditions described below, payment of the total consideration or tender offer consideration, as applicable, will occur promptly following the initial date upon which tendered Notes are accepted for payment (expected to occur on or about March 14, 2014) or the Expiration Date, as applicable.

The consummation of the tender offer is conditioned upon, among other things, the Company having sufficient funds to pay the total consideration for validly tendered Notes from the issuance of newly issued debt of the Issuers.  Such financing is subject to the approval of the Michigan Gaming Control Board.  If any of the conditions are not satisfied, the Company may terminate the tender offer and return tendered Notes. The Company has the right to waive any of the foregoing conditions with respect to the Notes and to consummate the tender offer. In addition, the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate the tender offer at any time, subject to applicable law.

This announcement shall not constitute an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities. The complete terms and conditions of the tender offer are set forth in an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated February 25, 2014 (the “Offer to Purchase”) that is being sent to holders of the Notes. The tender offer is being made only through, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, the Offer to Purchase and related materials.

Jefferies LLC will act as Dealer Manager and Solicitation Agent for the tender offer for the Notes. Questions regarding the tender offer may be directed to Jefferies LLC at (888) 708-5831 (toll-free) or (203) 363-8273 (collect).

Neither the Issuers nor any other person makes any recommendation as to whether holders of Notes should tender their Notes, and no one has been authorized to make such a recommendation. Holders of Notes must make their own decisions as to whether to tender their Notes, and if they decide to do so, the principal amount of the Notes to tender. Holders of the Notes should read carefully the Offer to Purchase and related materials before any decision is made with respect to the tender offer.
