to as the "Transaction").

     GB Holdings, GB Property, Greate Bay Hotel and Casino, Inc., Atlantic
Holdings, ACE Gaming and the Affiliates are referred to individually, as a
"Filing Person" and collectively, as the "Filing Persons."

     The terms and conditions of the Transaction are described in the Proxy
Statement and Prospectus contained in Atlantic Holdings' Registration Statement
on Form S-4 (the "Proxy Statement"), which was filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 13, 2003 and amended on February 13,
2004, March 22, 2004, April 21, 2004, and May 27, 2004 with Registration

ITEM 1. SUMMARY TERM SHEET

     The information set forth in the Proxy Statement under the captions
"QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE TRANSACTION" and "SUMMARY" is incorporated
herein by reference. The Transaction is comprised of the following events,
whereby:


     (a)  GB Holdings will transfer all of its assets (other than the stock of
          GB Property and Greate Bay Hotel) and liabilities (other than its
          obligations under the 11% Notes due 2005 (the "Existing Notes"),
          issued by GB Property) to Greate Bay Hotel which will transfer all of
          the assets and liabilities it received from GB Holdings and
          substantially all of its assets (other than the stock of Atlantic
          Holdings) and certain of its liabilities to Atlantic Holdings (which
          will agree to issue 3% Notes due 2008 (the "New Notes") in exchange
          for Existing Notes and cancel such Notes) and Atlantic Holdings will
          subsequently transfer to ACE Gaming such assets, less the cash that
          Atlantic Holdings pays to the holders of the Existing Notes that
          exchange for the New Notes. The Transaction will result in GB Holdings
          transferring substantially all of its assets to Atlantic Holdings,
          subject to the right of the holders of the New Notes to acquire 72.5%
          of the outstanding common stock, par value $ 0.01 per share, of
          Atlantic Holdings (the "Atlantic Holdings Common Stock"), on a fully
          diluted basis immediately following consummation of the Transaction,
          in exchange for all of the New Notes (including the principal and
          accrued interest) (or a pro rata amount of Atlantic Holdings Common
          Stock if less than all of the Existing Notes are exchanged).

     (b)  Atlantic Holdings will offer the holders of the Existing Notes the
          opportunity to exchange such notes for (i) $100 in cash for each
          $1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes exchanged; (ii) on a dollar
          for dollar basis, the New Notes; and (iii) accrued, but unpaid
          interest on the Existing Notes. Additionally, Atlantic Holdings, on
          behalf of GB Holdings, will solicit consents from the holders of the
          Existing Notes, whereby the holders of the Existing Notes exchanging
          such Existing Notes will automatically be deemed to have given their
          consent to (1) the proposed amendments to the indenture governing the
          Existing Notes (the "Existing Indenture"), (2) the release of the
          liens on the collateral securing the Existing Notes and (3) the terms
          of the indenture governing the New Notes.


     (c)  Atlantic Holdings will cancel the Existing Notes which the holders
          elected to transfer to Atlantic Holdings in exchange for the New Notes
          and issue to Greate Bay Hotel (i) a pro rata share of




          72.5% of the Atlantic Holdings Common Stock which shall be
          proportional to the principal amount of the Existing Notes that are
          not exchanged; and (ii) either (y) shares of Atlantic Holdings Common
          Stock or (z) warrants to purchase shares of Atlantic Holdings Common
          Stock at a purchase price of $0.01 per share ("Warrants," and
          collectively with the Holders Equity, the "Atlantic Holdings
          Securities") representing, in the aggregate, 27.5% of the outstanding
          Atlantic Holdings Common Stock on a fully diluted basis immediately
          following consummation of the Transaction.


     (d)  Through a series of mergers, GB Holdings, Greate Bay Hotel and GB
          Holdings will merge and GB Holdings will be the surviving entity and
          (i) the Existing Notes tendered for exchange for the New Notes will be
          cancelled; (ii) GB Holdings will be the obligor of the Existing Notes;
          (iii) GB Holdings will own (A) the Holders Equity or (B) the Existing
          Note Equity and the Warrants and (iv) Atlantic Holdings will be a
          wholly-owned subsidiary of GB Holdings (immediately prior to the
          completion of the Transaction). GB Holdings will distribute to its
          stockholders Warrants (if less than 100% of the Existing Notes are
          exchanged for New Notes) or Holders Equity (if all of the Existing
          Notes are exchanged for New Notes), as the case may be, representing
          27.5% of the outstanding Atlantic Holdings Common Stock on a fully
          diluted basis immediately following consummation of the Transaction.

     (e)  As soon as reasonably practicable following the consummation of the
          Transaction, GB Holdings will apply to delist the common stock of GB
          Holdings from trading on the American Stock Exchange by filing an
          application with the American Stock Exchange and the Securities and
          Exchange Commission. Also, if 100% of the Existing Notes are
          exchanged, the Board of Directors of GB Holdings will take the steps
          necessary to dissolve GB Holdings, satisfy any obligations or
          liabilities with its assets, and distribute any remaining assets to
          its stockholders.
