VCG Holding Corp. (AMEX: PTT), a nationwide owner/operator of adult
nightclubs, announced today that it has entered into a letter of intent
to purchase the assets of three major adult nightclubs.
The nightclubs operate in the Southwestern and Southeastern part of the
United States. In 2006, they generated revenues of $15.5 million. The
nightclubs should add pre-tax pro-forma profits of $2.5 million. We have
not completed the due diligence and have not been able to completely
analyze the full effect on our after-tax earnings and the allocation of
the purchase price between the clubs and intangibles. The purchase price
is $13.5 million. The payment for the purchase includes a combination of
cash and common stock. The CEO of these companies will join VCG in a
senior management capacity. The stock issued in the transaction will be
subject to a lock-up agreement.
“This acquisition is extremely important to
VCG for the following reasons,” stated Troy
Lowrie, CEO and Chairman of VCG. “First, it
enables us to own three more clubs that are the leaders in their
markets. Secondly, it strengthens our management team. Thus, this
acquisition represents much more than three great clubs,”
Lowrie stated. “It represents a major piece in
our goal of reaching the critical mass needed to develop a national
brand of upscale gentlemen’s clubs. With the
completion of the purchases of Raleigh and Minneapolis, the clubs
announced last week, and these three clubs we will have a total of 19
nightclubs and one upscale dance club.”
“Based on the projected completion dates and
the preliminary analysis of the numbers,”
Lowrie continued, “the three clubs should add
$0.03 to quarter 3 EPS and $0.04 to quarter 4 EPS. They should enable us
to exceed our previously stated guidance for 2008.”
The name and locations of the venues, the allocation of price, and its
seller are being kept confidential as part of the agreement until the
completion of the transaction and the final definitive agreement. The
acquisitions are expected to be purchased in July and August 2007. The
purchase is contingent upon transfer of all applicable permits and
licenses as well as a thorough due diligence by the company and its
Board of Directors.
