IMPORTANT REMINDER
Dear Stockholder:
The Special Meeting of Stockholders of Trump Hotels & Casino
Resorts, Inc. ("THCR") will take place on September 30, 1996. This letter is
to remind you that your vote is important to us no matter how many or how few
shares you own.
At the Special Meeting, stockholders will be asked to (1)
approve the acquisition by THCR of all of the outstanding equity interests of
Trump's Castle Associates, the owner and operator of Trump's Castle Casino
Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey (the "Acquisition") and (2) increase the
number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 50,000,000 to 75,000,000.
The Acquisition will, among other things, provide the
following benefits to THCR and its stockholders:
- Combine THCR's gaming operations to include Trump's
Castle Casino Resort, trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, the
Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resorts and THCR's riverboat casino
at Buffington Harbor on Lake Michigan, making THCR one of
the largest casino entertainment companies in the United
States.
- THCR will continue to be the exclusive vehicle through
which Donald J. Trump will engage in new gaming activities
in both new and established gaming jurisdictions.
- Provide THCR with a significant presence in Atlantic
City's marina district (the "Marina"), the principal focus
of expansion in the Atlantic City gaming market.
- Position THCR as the only casino operator in Atlantic
City with facilities at both the Boardwalk and the Marina.
We encourage you to vote promptly. Remember, a failure to
vote will have the same effect as a vote against the Acquisition. Even if you
plan to attend the meeting in person, please take the time today to sign, date
and mail the enclosed duplicate proxy card or voting form in the postage paid
envelope provided.
Your Board of Directors and the Special Committee of your
Board of Directors, for reasons outlined in the proxy materials previously
mailed to you, have determined that the Acquisition is fair to, and in the
best interests of, THCR and recommend that stockholders vote FOR the
Acquisition. If you need another copy of the Proxy Statement or have any
questions, please contact MacKenzie Partners, Inc. at (800) 322-2885 or (212)
929-5500 (call collect).
We appreciate your prompt attention to voting your shares
and thank you for your continued interest in your Company.
