The Pokagon Gaming Authority Commences Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation in Connection With Its 10 3/8% Senior Notes Due 2014

DOWAGIAC, MI--(Marketwire - Jun 16, 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 has commenced a cash tender offer for any and all of its 10 3/8% Senior Notes due 2014 (CUSIP Nos. 730857AA7 and U72683AA0) (the "Notes"). 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. In connection with the cash tender offer, the Authority is also soliciting consents from the holders of the Notes to amend the indenture under which the Notes were issued to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants as well as certain events of default and related provisions contained therein, and, if holders of at least 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes consent, to release the security interest in all of the collateral securing the Notes. Holders may not tender their Notes without delivering consents or deliver consents without tendering their Notes.

Holders who validly tender their Notes and provide their consents to the amendments to the indenture governing the Notes and to the release of the liens on the collateral securing the Notes on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 29, 2011 (as may be extended by the Authority, the "Consent Payment Deadline") will receive the "Total Consideration" of $1,031.25 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 Total Consideration includes a consent payment of $10.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes and is payable only to holders who tender their Notes and deliver their consents on or prior to the Consent Payment Deadline. 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 the "Tender Offer Consideration" of $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 Authority currently expects that it will accept and make payment for the Notes validly tendered on or prior to the Consent Payment Deadline on or about June 30, 2011. Subject to limited conditions, all Notes validly tendered after the Authority's initial acceptance of Notes for purchase and prior to the expiration date of the tender offer will be accepted and paid for promptly following the expiration date of the tender offer.

Tendered Notes may not be withdrawn and consents may not be revoked after the "Withdrawal Time," which is the earlier to occur of (i) 5:00 p.m. New York City time, June 29, 2011 or (ii) the date and time the Authority, the Tribe, the guarantors party to the indenture and the indenture trustee execute an amendment to the indenture to effect the proposed amendments (the "Supplemental Indenture").

Any extension, delay, termination or amendment of the tender offer and consent solicitation will be followed as promptly as practicable by a public announcement.

The Authority's obligation to consummate the tender offer is conditioned upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including (i) execution of the Supplemental Indenture upon obtaining tenders and consents from holders of Notes representing not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, (ii) receipt by the Authority of net proceeds from one or more new debt financings, each on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Authority and (iii) certain other customary conditions. 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.
