The Pokagon Gaming Authority Announces the Acceptance and Early Settlement of and Receipt of Consents to Its Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation for Its 10 3/8% Senior Notes Due 2014

DOWAGIAC, MI--(Marketwire - Jun 30, 2011) - The Pokagon Gaming Authority (the "Authority"), a wholly owned unincorporated instrumentality of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, a federally-recognized Indian tribe (the "Tribe"), announced today that it received tenders and consents from holders of $203,328,000 in aggregate principal amount, or approximately 71.7%, of the Authority's outstanding 10 3/8% Senior Notes due 2014 (CUSIP Nos. 730857AA7 and U72683AA0) (the "Notes") as of the consent payment deadline, which was 5:00 p.m., New York City time on June 29, 2011.

Today, the Authority accepted for payment all Notes that were validly tendered at or prior to the consent payment deadline. Holders who validly tendered their Notes at or prior to the consent payment deadline received $1,031.25, which included a consent payment of $10.00, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, today's date.

The number of consents received were sufficient to approve the proposed amendments to the indenture under which the Notes were originally issued (the "Indenture"), and the Tribe, the Authority, the Note guarantors and the trustee under the Indenture entered into a supplemental indenture that eliminates substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default contained in the Indenture, releases all collateral that had previously secured the Notes and effects certain other amendments to the Indenture.

Additionally, the Authority has issued a notice of redemption in respect of all Notes that were not validly tendered at or prior to the consent payment deadline.

Full details of the terms and conditions of the tender offer are included in the Authority's Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated June 16, 2011. Holders who tender their Notes after the consent payment deadline and prior to the expiration of the tender offer will not receive the consent payment and will receive only $1,021.25 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and accepted in the tender offer, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but not including, the payment date. The tender offer is scheduled to expire at 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on July 15, 2011, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Authority in its sole discretion. Any extension, delay, termination or amendment of the tender offer and consent solicitation will be followed as promptly as practicable by a public announcement.
