The Sports Club Company, Inc. Notified by the American Stock Exchange of Possible Delisting.

LOS ANGELES -- The Sports Club Company, Inc. (AMEX:SCY) today announced that on June 20, 2005, the Company received notice from the American Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") Listing Qualifications Staff that the Company remains noncompliant with certain requirements for continued listing, and that the Exchange had determined to proceed with the filing of an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission to strike the Company's common stock from listing and registration on the Exchange as of June 28, 2005. Specifically, the Company's failure to have timely filed its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 is in violation of the applicable listing standards set forth in Sections 134, 1101 and 1003(d) of the Exchange's Company Guide. The Company's inability to timely file the required reports is due to certain issues relative to the application of several Statements of Financial Accounting Standards pronouncements to the preparation of the Company's financial statements. The Company continues to work diligently towards completion of its filings; however, because of the complexities associated with these issues, the Company can give no assurance as to when the required reports will be finalized and filed. Based on these facts, the Exchange determined that it was appropriate to initiate delisting procedures relative to the Company's common stock.

In response to the notice, the Company has requested a hearing before a committee of the Exchange to appeal the Exchange's determination. The Company intends to present documentation and other evidence at the hearing in support of its continued listing; however, the Company can give no assurances that the Exchange will grant its request for continued listing. Until the committee's final determination and the expiration of any exception granted by the committee, the Company's common stock will continue to be traded on the Exchange.

Further, as previously reported, the Company has been notified by the Exchange that it continues to be in violation of Sections 1003(a)(i), 1003(a)(ii) and 1003 (a)(iv) of the Company Guide. The Exchange has given the Company until March 13, 2006 to regain compliance with these particular sections. Therefore, even if the Company satisfies the committee's requirements and continues to be listed on the Exchange, it will not be relieved of its obligations to regain compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i), 1003(a)(ii) and 1003 (a)(iv). Failure to gain compliance may again subject the Company to delisting procedures.
