Ownership
 
As more fully described in the Form 10-12G/A filed by Tropicana Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, Inc. (the “Company”) on May 28, 2010, all of the Company’s stockholders are a party to that certain Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2009 (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”), which contains certain agreements as to voting. As a result, all of the Company’s stockholders may be deemed to be a group for the purposes of Section 13 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with each of such stockholders being deemed to have beneficial ownership of all of the shares owned by the group. However, except as otherwise noted, each of the Company’s stockholders disclaims beneficial ownership of shares of the Company’s capital stock not held directly by such stockholder. The table below shows, as of December 31, 2010, the direct ownership (excluding the deemed beneficial ownership of shares held by other members of the group as a result of the Stockholders’ Agreement) of all of the Company’s stockholders of all outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock. The outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock include Class A Common and Preferred Stock. The table below also shows, as of December 31, 2010, the direct ownership of Class A Common assuming full conversion of all shares of Preferred Stock into Class A Common at an exchange ratio of 4:1. The exchange ratio may increase to the extent dividends on the Preferred Stock accrue and are unpaid.
