Great Wolf Resorts, Inc. (NASDAQ: WOLF) (“Great Wolf”)
announced today that it has further extended the expiration date of
its previously announced consent solicitation (the “Consent
Solicitation”) with respect to the 10.875% First Mortgage Notes
due 2017 (the “Notes”) issued by its wholly-owned
subsidiaries GWR Operating Partnership, L.L.L.P. and Great Wolf
Finance Corp. (together, the “Issuers”), seeking the consent
of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of all
outstanding Notes to (i) waive the obligation to make a “Change of
Control Offer” under the indenture relating to the Notes (the
“Indenture”) with respect to, among other things, the
previously announced transactions contemplated by the merger
agreement dated as of March 12, 2012 (the “Proposed COC
Amendment”) and (ii) modify certain restrictive covenants
in the Indenture (the “Proposed Covenant Amendments”), in
each case, subject to the terms and conditions described in the
Consent Solicitation Statement, dated March 13, 2012 (as may be
amended or supplemented from time to time), the accompanying
Consent Letter and Supplement No. 1 to the Consent Solicitation
Statement, dated April 2, 2012.
The Consent Solicitation was previously scheduled to expire at
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 13, 2012. The Issuers have
extended the deadline for the Consent Solicitation to 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on Thursday, April 19, 2012, unless further
extended.
In addition, the Issuers are amending the terms of the Consent
Solicitation pursuant to a supplement to the Consent Solicitation
Statement, dated April 16, 2012 (“Supplement No. 2”) which
reflects that the Issuers are no longer seeking to delete clause
(5) from the definition of “Change of Control.”
Copies of Supplement No. 2 have been distributed to eligible
holders of Notes. Except as set forth herein and in Supplement No.
2, the complete terms and conditions of the Consent Solicitation
remain the same as set forth in the Consent Solicitation Statement,
dated March 13, 2012 (as may be amended or supplemented from time
to time), the accompanying Consent Letter and Supplement No. 1 to
the Consent Solicitation Statement, dated April 2, 2012, copies of
which were also previously distributed to eligible holders of
