INTRODUCTION
     This Amendment No. 1 to Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (this “ Transaction Statement ”), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”) by (1) VCG Holding Corp., a Colorado corporation (“ VCG ” or the “ Company ”), the issuer of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, that is subject to the Rule 13e-3 transaction, (2) Family Dog, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“ Parent ”), (3) FD Acquisition Co., a Colorado corporation (“ Merger Sub ”), (4) Lowrie Management LLLP, a Colorado limited liability limited partnership (“ Lowrie Management ”), (5) Lowrie Investment Management, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“ LIM ”), (6) LTD Investment Group, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company (“ LTD ”), (7) Micheal Ocello, VCG’s President and Chief Operating Officer (“ Mr. Ocello ”), and (8) Troy Lowrie, VCG’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (“ Mr. Lowrie” ). This Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 9, 2010 (the “ Merger Agreement ”), that VCG entered into with Parent, Merger Sub, Mr. Ocello and Mr. Lowrie. VCG is sometimes referred to collectively along with Parent, Merger Sub, Lowrie Management, LIM, LTD, Mr. Ocello and Mr. Lowrie as the “ Filing Persons . ”
     If the Merger is consummated, Merger Sub will be merged with and into VCG and VCG will continue as the surviving corporation (the “ Surviving Corporation ”) (such transaction, the “ Merger ”) and Parent will own all of VCG’s common stock. Upon the consummation of the Merger, each share of VCG’s common stock (other than shares of VCG’s common stock beneficially owned by Parent, Merger Sub, Mr. Lowrie, or Mr. Ocello, or shares owned by shareholders who properly exercise dissenters’ rights under Colorado law, or shares of VCG’s common stock held in treasury) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $2.25 in cash, without interest (the “ Per Share Merger Consideration ”). No consideration will be paid for any outstanding option either because they are unvested or, in the case of vested options, the exercise price of each option exceeds the Per Share Merger Consideration.
     Concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement, VCG is filing with the SEC Amendment No. 1 to a preliminary Proxy Statement (the “ Proxy Statement ”) under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act relating to the special meeting of VCG’s shareholders at which VCG’s shareholders will consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger. The Merger requires the affirmative vote of both (i) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of VCG’s common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting, and (ii) a majority of the votes actually cast at the special meeting. Any abstaining votes, broker non-votes and votes cast by Messrs. Lowrie and Ocello with regard to shares of VCG common stock beneficially owned by each of them will not be taken into account for any purpose when determining whether the requisite vote set forth in clause (ii) has been achieved (e.g. in calculating votes cast in favor or total votes cast); however, the shares of VCG’s common stock beneficially owned by Messrs. Lowrie and Ocello will be taken into account for purposes of the requisite vote set forth in clause (i) and establishing a quorum. Further, Messrs. Lowrie and Ocello intend to vote the shares beneficially owned by them in favor of the Merger.
