VCG Holding Corp. (AMEX: PTT)("VCG"), a leading owner, operator and consolidator of adult nightclubs, announced it has successfully restructured the dividend and conversion rate of its $9.47 million of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Specifically, the Series A preferred stockholders of the Company voted to reduce (i) the annual dividend rate from 18% to 10%, and (ii) the conversion price from $4.00 to $2.50 per share. The restructuring was finalized on September 16, 2005, by vote of the Series A preferred stockholders. Of the total 947,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of September 16, 2005, 725,500 shares, (approximately 76.6%), voted for the foregoing proposals. Troy H. Lowrie, Chairman and CEO of VCG Holding commented: "We are excited that we reached this important milestone in improving our capitalization. The reduction of the dividend rate paid on the preferred stock is expected to save VCG approximately $757,600 in cash during the twelve month period after September 24, 2005, increasing net income to the common shareholders by approximately $.09 per share. Even taking into account the incremental increase in the issuances of the common stock shares associated with lowering the conversion rate, the transaction is still accretive to the VCG common shareholders. We plan to continue to look for opportunities to strengthen our balance sheet while seeking to make strategic acquisitions of nightclubs." About VCG Holding Corp.
