SEASON TICKET RENEWALS AND PLAYOFF INFORMATION GUIDE First and foremost, I want to thank you for being such a vital part of the LA Kings. From my days as a player to my current role in the LA Kings front office I have always held a deep connection with LA Kings fans. I am appreciative of your constant support, it continues to fuel my pride and passion for this great game and organization. For the past three seasons, Dean Lombardi and his staff have taken a strategic and meticulous approach to building this team. Patience has certainly been required for our fans, but I think it is evident that the next step for the LA Kings will be significant. Coming out of the 2009 All Star break, the LA Kings were the youngest team in the NHL and despite that fact, this passionate team has made great strides in becoming a playoff contender. In addition, the emergence of first-year players Drew Doughty, Oscar Moller, Wayne Simmonds, Jonathan Quick and Kyle Quincey has clearly strengthened the core of talent led by Anze Kopitar, Dustin Brown, Alexander Frolov, Jack Johnson and Patrick O’Sullivan. These are your LA Kings of the future and I believe that future is right before our eyes. Enclosed, please find your 2009 Stanley Cup Playoff and 2009-10 Season Ticket Renewal Information. Your renewal for next season comes with many benefits and incentives; most notably we have decided to freeze Season Ticket Membership prices for the 2009-10 Season. Also, if you place your deposit by April 1, 2009, should the team qualify for the post-season, all 2008-09 pricing will remain the same for all four potential rounds. In addition, you won’t be charged for playoffs until we officially clinch a playoff spot. Your renewal can be accomplished with a deposit of 5% by April 1, 2009 and you have a choice of three convenient payment plans. Please note, our Automatic Monthly Payment Plan will begin in June as usual, and we have extended the option an additional month, so you can now pay for your Season Ticket Membership over a total of 10 interest free installments as opposed to 8 installments in previous years. You will notice three renewal options to choose from: • Renew LA Kings 2009-10 Season Ticket Membership and 2009 Playoff Tickets Together • Renew LA Kings 2009-10 Season Ticket Membership Only • Purchase LA Kings 2009 Stanley Cup Playoff Tickets Only To renew now, please read through the enclosed information to understand your options. The full benefits package for Season Ticket Members has been customized and enhanced, so you’ll want to examine them carefully. If you have any questions, please contact your personal Season Ticket Service Executive at 1.888.KINGS.LA, or email us at [email protected]. Once again, my deepest appreciation for your continued pride and passion as a valued member of the team. Sincerely, Luc Robitaille President, Business Operations Los Angeles Kings Hockey Club

Coming out of the 2009 All Star break, the LA Kings were the youngest team in the NHL and despite that fact, this passionate team has made great strides in becoming a playoff contender. In addition, the emergence of first-year players Drew Doughty, Oscar Moller, Wayne Simmonds, Jonathan Quick and Kyle Quincey has clearly strengthened the core of talent led by Anze Kopitar, Dustin Brown, Alexander Frolov, Jack Johnson and Patrick O’Sullivan. These are your LA Kings of the future and I believe that future is right before our eyes.
