GREEKTOWN’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS SELECTS BOARD SLATE FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
Exhibit 99.1
For Immediate Release
March 23, 2012
Detroit- Greektown Superholdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Greektown”) today announced that its board of directors has unanimously determined to propose a slate of nine directors for election at the annual meeting of shareholders of the Company scheduled to be held on May 8, 2012. The nine directors are: James A. Barrett, Jr., John Bitove, George Boyer, Darrell Burks, Michael E. Duggan, Freman Hendrix, Soohyung Kim, Yvette E. Landau and Charles Moore. In an effort to arrive at a slate which does not increase the board size beyond nine members, while reflecting nominees from each of the shareholders who had previously submitted director nominees and broad based board composition, Mr. Duster was willing and the Board appreciated and accepted his offer to step down. Mr. Duster would step down once the first of the new nominees is approved by the Michigan Gaming Control Board.
This press release does not constitute a solicitation of any vote or proxy. Greektown will file a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in connection with its annual meeting of shareholders, and deliver the definitive proxy statement to its shareholders. Greektown shareholders are urged to read the proxy statement when it becomes available, as well as other documents filed with the SEC, because they will contain important information about the vote for its board of directors, including detailed biographical information concerning each nominee. The proxy statement and other documents Greektown files with the SEC will be available free of charge at the SEC's web site (www.sec.gov) or from Greektown's website (www.greektowncasino.com) under the tab "Investor Info" and then under the heading "Financial Reporting".
