Exhibit 1
Letter to the Company
[Brigade Letterhead]
January 29, 2013
Greektown Superholdings, Inc.
555 East Lafayette Street
Detroit, Michigan 48226
To the Board of Directors of Greektown Superholdings, Inc. ("Greektown"):
As you know, we are a large shareholder of Greektown, holding approximately 12% of Greektown's total capital stock, as well as warrants that permit us to acquire additional stock.
We are pleased to see that Greektown received a non-binding proposal from Athens Acquistion LLC, an entity owned by Daniel Gilbert (the "Gilbert Bid") to acquire Greektown at $81 per share. We commend Greektown for forming a special committee to analyze the Gilbert Bid and its announced intention to seek to maximize the return to all of Greektown's shareholders.
It is our strong belief that the Gilbert Bid is too low. We believe that Greektown has great potential and that there are more than a few potential acquirers for Greektown that could achieve significant synergies from an acquisition. If the Board is willing to conduct an open and fair auction process, we believe Greektown can be sold at a significant premium.
We strongly suggest that you use the momentum afforded by the Gilbert Bid to seek to sell Greektown either (a) in an auction process, in an expeditious manner to the highest credible bidder, or (b) by accepting a preemptive bid at a compelling valuation.
Greektown should view the Gilbert Bid as a stalking horse bid and Greektown should now engage a reputable investment bank to help it conduct a full review of all strategic alternatives available to it. We strongly believe that failure to do so could potentially lead to the sale of all of the shares of Greektown without an appropriate control premium being paid to minority shareholders.
You should have no doubt that we expect that each of you will act on behalf of Greektown's shareholders in full compliance with the high standards your fiduciary duties require.
| | Very truly yours, /s/ Donald E. Morgan, III |
