Settlement in Connection with Chapter 11 Financial Restructuring


LA QUINTA, California, June 17, 2011 — On June 7, 2011, under their authority as the owners and operators of The Citrus Club at La Quinta Resort & The Club at PGA WEST, MSR Resort Golf Course LLC and its affiliated debtors in Chapter 11 (the “Debtors”) submitted a motion to the United States Bankruptcy Court seeking approval of a settlement agreement with the members of The Citrus Club and The Club at PGA WEST.

Mr. Kelly added, “This settlement will support the Clubs’ future success and ability to continue providing existing and new members the unique benefits of our world-class golf and resort facilities.”
