To Whom it May Concern:

Please accept this letter as notification that Trump Ruffin Commercial, LLC, d/b/a Trump
International Hotel, Las Vegas (the “Hotel”), has reduced its staffing levels and curtailed its
business operations at the Hotel, located at 2000 Fashion Show Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89109,
due to the unforeseen business circumstances caused by the natural disaster and spread of the
novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the mandatory closures of nonessential business operations
under Nevada Governor Stephen F. Sisolak’s emergency and stay-at-home orders on COVID-19,
as well as the recommendations and orders regarding public gatherings by the CDC and various
other government agencies and officials.

As a result of the COVID-19 emergency and related governmental actions, beginning on March
31, 2020, or within a 14-day period starting on that date, the Hotel has been forced to conduct
temporary layoffs and place its nonessential personnel on temporary layoff status, while only
essential personnel continue to provide essential services for the Hotel.

This cessation of nonessential operations of the Hotel and these layoffs will be temporary. Based
on the fluid and rapidly evolving nature of this situation, however, at this time we are unable to
provide a specific date at which we will be able to recommence regular Hotel operations and
return affected employees to work.

Approximately 552 employees (including part-time employees) who are employed at the Hotel
have been put into temporary layoff status. The Hotel provided the affected employees with
notices of this action. A list of job titles and the number of employees in affected positions, as
well as any other information required pursuant to 20 C.F.R. §639.7(f), will be maintained on
site and readily accessible to the state dislocated worker unit and to the units of general local
government.

Most of the affected employees who are hourly non-management employees are represented by a
union, Local Joint Executive Board of Las Vegas, Culinary Workers Union Local 226 and
Bartenders Union Local 165, and their labor representative(s) has been notified of these actions.
The contact information for the Union is as follows: Geoconda Argüello-Kline, Secretary-
Treasurer, Culinary Workers Union Local 226, 1630 S. Commerce Street, Las Vegas, NV 89102,
Telephone: (702) 385-2131; Terry Greenwald, Secretary-Treasurer, Bartenders Union Local 165,
4825 W. Nevso Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89103, Telephone: (702) 384-7774.

Bumping rights are handled in accordance with the Hotel’s collective bargaining agreement with
the Union. The non-represented employees have no bumping rights.

Unfortunately, because of the sudden, dramatic, and unexpected nature of this unforeseen
emergency, and the demands placed without notice on businesses and the public to cease or
curtail operations to limit the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, we are unable to provide
employees with additional notice of these temporary layoffs.

This notice is based upon the best information currently available. Various factors may affect
these plans. We will inform you of any significant changes.

To the extent the Hotel’s temporary halt of nonessential business operations pursuant to federal,
state, and local governmental orders in response to the COVID-19 emergency constitutes a plant
closing or mass layoff for purposes of the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining
Notification (WARN) Act, this letter is intended to fulfill any requirements under the Act. By
providing this information, however, Trump Ruffin Commercial LLC does not concede that the
Act applies or that this notice is otherwise required.

Company Name: Trump Ruffin Commercial, LLC


Facility Address: 2000 Fashion Show Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89109
