THIS explains why Priscilla and Lisa Marie were in Memphis earlier this
week! I thought it might have something to do with the upcoming TV special.

Very interesting and for me, surprising. I haven't said anything here (sorry,
I can't reveal who it is), but several well known people in the "Elvis World"
are moving here to the mountains and my husband has been retained by them as
their real estate broker. I just talked to him and he is going to get with
them to see what they think as he thinks they don't know anything about it yet.


He also said that Bob Sillerman's name rang a bell with him and he's going to
also check on that. I just wonder what it will mean to us the fans. Though
they didn't say, I'm afraid major changes are ahead.

Also, I think Lisa Marie's statement was written for her by the PR
people---given some of the words in the statement (infusion, etc) I don't think
it was something she came up with on her own. Just my opinion.

SFX which Sillerman was Vice chairman of was one of the largest Concert and
event promoters in the world at one time it was partly owned by Mike Ovitz
after he left Disney.

They promoted shows by some of the biggest artists in the world.

This whole thing,sale and all, is not unexpected. Sooner or later you
should have known that Lisa was gonna' dump it, seeing how she really has
not exhibited any concern for her father. Give her a little more time and
she probably will sell Graceland too.

She is now able to pull her money out of the company that Sillerman is
paying and letting someone else be concerned.

As I have said before, this is a business for them, that is why Graceland
has become a cold building to the guys and I. No warmth, no real meaning of
Elvis. Just some rooms with a bunch of items in it.

Simultaneous with RFX's contribution, Ms. Presley will contribute 85 percent of
the outstanding equity interests of the two entities that own the assets of and
control the Presley businesses in exchange for total consideration of
approximately $100 million, consisting of approximately $53 million in cash,
approximately $22 million in Preferred Stock of SPEA, 500,000 shares of SPEA
common stock and the assumption or extinguishment of approximately $25 million
of outstanding indebtedness. Ms. Presley will retain a 15 percent interest in
the two Presley entities, which will operate as 85 percent-controlled
subsidiaries of the company.


entire article is here,

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)----

-- Sillerman Will Obtain Majority Control of Company Simultaneous with an
Acquisition of an 85% Stake in Elvis Presley Enterprises and Related Assets

Sports Entertainment Enterprises, Inc. (OTC BB:SPEA.OB) announced today that it
has entered into a definitive agreement with two entities controlled by Lisa
Marie Presley and RFX Acquisition LLC (RFX), a company formed and controlled by
Robert F.X. Sillerman, in which RFX will acquire a controlling interest in SPEA
simultaneous with and conditioned upon SPEA's acquisition of a controlling
interest in entities which control the commercial utilization of the name,
image and likeness of Elvis Presley, the operation of Graceland and the
surrounding properties, as well as revenue derived from Elvis' music, films and
television specials.

As part of the transaction, RFX will contribute $3.43 million to SPEA in
exchange for 34,320,124 newly issued shares of SPEA common stock. In addition
to the shares received from the company, RFX will receive warrants to purchase
8,689,599 shares of the common stock at $1.00 per share, warrants to purchase
8,689,599 shares of common stock at $1.50 per share, and warrants to purchase
8,689,599 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share. Simultaneous with this
exchange, RFX will also acquire an aggregate of 2,240,397 shares of the
company's common stock directly from certain principal stockholders of the
company at a price of $0.10 per share. Upon consummation of these transactions,
RFX and its affiliates including Mr. Sillerman will own approximately 94
percent of the outstanding common stock of the Company, and assuming exercise
of the warrants, will own approximately 96 percent of the then outstanding
common stock of the company.

Simultaneous with RFX's contribution, Ms. Presley will contribute 85 percent of
the outstanding equity interests of the two entities that own the assets of and
control the Presley businesses in exchange for total consideration of
approximately $100 million, consisting of approximately $53 million in cash,
approximately $22 million in Preferred Stock of SPEA, 500,000 shares of SPEA
common stock and the assumption or extinguishment of approximately $25 million
of outstanding indebtedness. Ms. Presley will retain a 15 percent interest in
the two Presley entities, which will operate as 85 percent-controlled
subsidiaries of the company.

Though RFX has made a deposit of $5 million, to be credited towards the
purchase price when the closing occurs, the closing of the transaction remains
subject to a number of significant conditions, including a three year audit of
the combined operations of the Presley entities which is currently being
conducted by Deloitte & Touche LLP. In addition, RFX and the Presley entities
have the right, under certain limited circumstances, to require SPEA to assign
its rights under the proposed transaction to another inactive publicly traded
company. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the transactions will be
consummated or, if consummated, that SPEA will be a participant. Approval of
SPEA's shareholders will not be required to consummate the transactions. Though
the transaction does not have a financing condition, RFX Acquisition may seek
equity or debt financing on behalf of SPEA to fund the cash portion of the
Presley purchase price. If financing is not available on terms that RFX deems
reasonable, RFX and its principals will consider providing additional debt and
equity capital to the company. Any financing may result in additional dilution
to SPEA's stockholders.

On a combined and unaudited basis, the "Elvis" businesses had total revenue of
$44.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 and $37.9 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Net operating income, before
depreciation and amortization, for those periods was $12.0 million and $9.4
million, respectively.

Mr. Sillerman, the founding and controlling member of RFX, was the founder, a
major shareholder and served as Executive Chairman of SFX Entertainment from
its inception in 1997 until its sale to Clear Channel Communications in August
2000. SFX Entertainment was the largest presenter, promoter and producer of
live entertainment in the world. Prior to that, Mr. Sillerman was a founder,
major shareholder and served as Executive Chairman of SFX Broadcasting, Inc., a
major owner and operator of radio stations, from its inception in 1992 through
its sale in 1998 to an affiliate of buyout firm Hicks, Muse Tate & Furst. Mr.
Sillerman is also a founder and the controlling member of MJX Asset Management
LLC, a company engaged in the management of, and investment in, collateralized
debt obligation funds. MJX Asset Management currently has approximately $1.5
billion under management.

If and when the transaction is consummated and upon compliance with all
applicable rules and regulations, it is anticipated that Mr. Sillerman and his
designees, will assume control of the company's Board of Directors. Following
completion of the transaction, Mr. Sillerman will have sufficient voting
control to elect the Board of Directors, although at least 50 percent of the
Directors will be unaffiliated with Mr. Sillerman and meet the standard for
"independence" as defined by the major stock exchanges. In connection with her
receipt of the Preferred Stock, Ms. Presley will have the right to either serve
as a director of the company or to designate an individual to serve on her
behalf. In accordance with Rule 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, a Schedule 14F will be mailed to SPEA's stockholders prior to
effectuation of the change of control. It is contemplated that following the
closing, the current executive officers of SPEA will resign. It is anticipated
that Deloitte & Touche will be appointed auditors for the company following the
transaction.

Mr. Sillerman has agreed that, following completion of the transaction and
subject to certain minor conditions and exceptions, he and certain of his
affiliates will conduct all of their active media and entertainment-related
activities through the Company.

Bear Stearns & Co. Inc. is representing Mr. Sillerman in the transaction and
Ms. Presley is being represented by Provident Financial Management and The
Salter Group.

SPEA disposed of all of its operating businesses in the second and third
quarters of 2002. As a result, the company now has no business operations and
only minimal assets and liabilities. SPEA's primary objective is to seek out
and pursue a transaction with a business enterprise that might have a desire to
take advantage of the company's status as a public corporation. If the
transactions described herein are not consummated, there is no assurance that
SPEA will acquire a favorable business opportunity through such a transaction.

Here's the official statement of Lisa-Marie ...
http://www.elvis.com/news/full_story.asp?id=739

A Personal Message To You from Lisa Marie Presley 12/16/2004
Hello and Happy Holidays!

I would like to further clarify and ease any weary minds (If there are
any about the recent business announcement.

First off, companies merge all the time and while it is true that EPE
has been successfully holding its own for 25 years, myself, my mother and
the board came to realize that in order to take the business to a whole
different level, merging with another provenly successful team would
accomplish that.

The search for the right person has been going on for years, none of
us at EPE would have done this if it weren't in the best interest of my
father and his legacy. No stone was left unturned in making sure that
business will be run as it historically has been, with integrity, always
preserving and protecting my father.

The executives, my mother and myself remain very active in the
operations of Graceland and its entities. What is and has been done will
remain, and merging with Bob Sillerman and his team simply gives us new
opportunities that we didn't have before.

Business-wise any company can always grow, what is predominately
sacred and can never be touched is Graceland itself and its contents and
artifacts and that is and remains mine and my family's forever.

Frankly, we are all united and excited about this and I send my best
wishes to you and yours for the holidays.

Much love,
LMP

Yeah, Peace Out, Honey...

Ms. Presley said she expects the new managers to increase the marketing of her
father's name and image.
(What else can they put his face on?)
"I feel confident that Bob Sillerman and his team are the right people to do
this with. (*They were the highest bidder..)
My greatest responsibility to my father is to preserve and protect his legacy,
and this is an exciting new structure that opens up an incredible array of
opportunities with a major infusion of new investment capital to do just that,"
she said in a statement.


Look for Elvis brand mouse traps, drain opener and maxi-pads...

Agreed. Has anyone ever been to an estate sale, where the relatives are all
looking very gleeful and letting things go for $1....$5...saying "Oh I gave
that to Mom when I was just 10, she loved it sooo much." I don't think I can
bare to part with it.... sure $2. The house already listed. No one cared enough
to live in it, and some of these homes were beautiful Victorian mansions. The
pets? Taken to the pound.
I've walked around in many such place and felt the sorrow of the person who
lived there and loved those things, loved those people who now sit on lawn
chairs laughing their ass off, yelling "Make me an offer I can't refuse."
Okay, how about .25 for this lovely old picture of your Mother...Sold!
LM"F"P is right.

$100 million seems a little low to me as well, but LMFP did retain a 15%
interest and the title to the Graceland property and Elvis' personal effects.

Over the past couple years, Graceland has made between $9 million and $12
million per year in profits. One simple method of business valuation is to say
it is worth 10 years earnings, so $100 million is right in line with that. Her
bonus is in keeping the title and 15% interest.

Oh, well...whatever happens, I hope the new guy will at least spring for a roof
replacement.

Why would Lisa want to move back to Memphis and to Graceland? She is an "LA
Woman". She would go stir crazy there.

As Richard said, what is everybody worried about? You didn't like how it was
run before and now you don't like this. What's your solution?

The ten times price should have been based on the 44 milion they grossed
last year and the 37 million they earned in the nine months of this year.

Because I have better things to do with my time, than wasting it on woman who
claims Elvis' friends were slithering mother fuckers, yet she herself sells out
his name to the highest bidder.

Oh please, they bought the brand name "Elvis", they might as well be buying the
rights to market Jesus. They see potential marketability, not what EPE has done
in the last ten years.

I hope she chokes on her fucking money.

Take it from someone who lives in an area that is totally supported by the
tourist industry( and has an inside source of income dependent on tourists)---a
$300000 decrease in revenue is nothing......Particularly not enough to start
taking on partners! There is something else afoot.

According to the last Shelby County Tax evalulations, the deed still has not
been transferred to Lisa Marie but is still held by Promenade Trust. Unless
she is the sole entity that comprises Promenade Trust, there are some other
players involved.

But that went out the window years ago. I can't see what they can
possibly do that will be any worse than what is already being done.

And when I say 'worse', I don't want to imply that I care either way.
For me, it's almost exclusively about the music. These folks will have
nothing to do with that side of it, and although some people may say
it's an entirely selfish attitude on my part because they lose a lot
of sleep over Elvis' image (something I haven't done since I was a
teenager...no wait, not even then), for all I care they can put out a
range of Elvis Presley Toilet Cleaning Equipment, and it won't affect
me one bit.

I'm scared that if I tour the Lisa Marie airplane, it might actually
start flying while I'm in it. It might take me to Detroit, and charge me
for the return flight. But I've always been worried about that.

I'm also worried about losing my continental breakfast. I get very car
sick on airplanes.

Yeah, because most of them are way past having to worry about using
something like that. Unless they place them further back to prevent ass
leakage. And I'll bet the tampons outsell the pads 100 to 1 if they
attach a little guitar to that string thing.

Is it then acceptable to request someone like me who you felt had a big game
name here, to rub out the people you don't like? "Elvis Spirit?" I wouldn't if
I could.
You know what that accomplished? It made me like them and not you.

Elvis being sold down the river by LMP hardly surprise's me but a 100
million seems like chump change with revenue of 40 million annually.
Wouldn't pass Business 101 here.

The real concern though is what becomes of the Graceland bunnies,
hamsters and other rodents so lovingly cared for by Elvis and his
entourage. Could get ugly...

So true. But, on the bright side (is there one?) she will be getting
some pretty good revenue from the 15% (I think) stock share she has in
the company. In Bill Burk's email newsletter he printed something pretty
interesting about the price of the shares going up from 0.10 to 8.33 a
share in a matter of days. Not too shabby.
I initially was a little unsure about the whole thing, but at least one
positive will come out of this I think. SFX has a ton more money to play
with to promote Elvis, as well as start new ventures. All we can do now
is hurry up and wait!
All the best,
Jordan

Hubby and I were at a Christmas party last night. One of the other attendees
happens to be the richest man in Tennessee (makes the Fortune 500 list every
year). He has made his fortune through publically held companies. We got into
a discussion about the merger and his opinion about this merger is that the
first year, everything will be glorious with changes made that satifies
everyone-----LMP, the fans, and the investors. He predicts that the really
major changes will occur in year 2---sell off of huge blocks of stock, etc.

I guess time will tell.

A word of advice, stop laughing, 'cause your pissing me off!
Maybe you should consider a new line.
Or a new life? I don't miss much.I ignore a lot, but in your case I'll make an
exception.
And I am as heavy duty as they come...take that anyway you like.
As for Dawn... to quote you again as I see no writing ability here from you:

">So what you are not saying here, is that it was
>okay for Dawn to pick apart all of my message threads here and to also
>insult me. lol
------------------
I am exactly saying that in my opinion you had done enough to her on your other
little rat-pack groups, to give her every reason to smack you with a pie in the
face! Mess with me, I'll shove your face in quicksand. I'm completely
discusted with individuals who will claim to be such goodey goodey people, and
in the same breathe try to toss an unsuspecting Elvis fan(if that means
anything to you) into a
a trash can. If I were a hired gun, you would have propositioned me for the
job...I carry a gun, but I am on the good side.
So get out of her face and get out of mine before I find any reason, however
slim or remote to send you away where Elvis Cd's and players are considered
contriband.
Got that? Good.

Elvis Presley Enterprises was owned for at least two years by Hank Saperstein.
Does anyone know how long he held the rights to marketing for?
