Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by VCG Holding Corp. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 22, 2010, the Company received an offer from Family Dog, LLC, an entity affiliated with the Company’s Chairman and 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”). In response, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) formed a Special Committee (the “Special Committee”), consisting solely of directors who are independent under the NASDAQ independence rules and disinterested with respect to the Proposal, to evaluate the Proposal, to properly and fairly represent the best interests of the Company’s shareholders with respect to the Proposal and to fully and diligently evaluate the Proposal and any alternatives thereto in order to maximize shareholder value.

On August 13, 2010, the Company received a complaint (the “Complaint”) filed in District Court in Jefferson County, Colorado challenging the Proposal. The Complaint was brought by David Cohen, Timothy Cunningham, Gene Harris, Dean R. Jakubczak and William C. Steppacher, Jr. (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) against Lowrie, each of the individual members of the Board and the Company (as a nominal defendant). In the Complaint, the Plaintiffs purport to bring a class action lawsuit on behalf of themselves and all other similarly situated shareholders and derivatively on behalf of the Company. Plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the individual Board members breached their fiduciary duties under Colorado law and that Lowrie has conflicts of interest in connection with the Proposal. Among other relief, Plaintiffs seek certification of the lawsuit as a class action with Plaintiffs as class representatives, an injunction preventing the Board from accepting the Proposal, an order requiring the Board members to fulfill their fiduciary duties, an accounting of alleged damages if the Board accepts the Proposal, and an award of Plaintiffs’ attorneys’ and experts’ fees.

As of the date hereof, the Company believes that the allegations set forth in the Complaint are baseless and intends to mount a vigorous defense.
