VCGH Vcg Holding Corp. (MM)

VCG Holding Corp. (Nasdaq:VCGH), a growing and leading consolidator and operator of adult nightclubs, provided an update regarding the progress of the Special Committee of its Board of Directors. The Special Committee was formed in order to evaluate the proposal made by Family Dog, LLC, an entity affiliated with the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Troy Lowrie, and Lowrie Management, LLLP (collectively, "Lowrie"), to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of the Company (other than the shares held by Lowrie, its affiliates and certain other investors) for $2.10 per share in cash (the "Proposal").  The Special Committee has informed Lowrie that it has determined, with input from its advisors, that the terms of the Proposal are currently inadequate.  In addition, the Special Committee has directed its financial advisors, North Point Advisors LLC, to begin to contact any parties that had either previously expressed an interest or might potentially be interested in pursuing a transaction with the Company.  

The Special Committee cautions investors that no final decisions have been made by the Special Committee with respect to the Proposal.  The Special Committee, working with its advisors, intends to proceed in a timely and orderly manner in its negotiations with Lowrie and any discussions with interested third parties, if any.  No assurance can be given that an agreement on terms satisfactory to the Special Committee or the Board of Directors will result from the Proposal submitted by Lowrie or any other party, or that any transaction recommended by the Special Committee will be completed.
