documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus (including subsequent documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus). Discussions of certain risks and uncertainties affecting our business are provided in our annual information
form, our 2022 Annual MD&amp;A and our Q1 2023 MD&amp;A (or, as applicable, our annual information form and our management&#146;s discussion and analysis for subsequent periods), each of which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. These
are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also materially and adversely affect us. If any of the events identified in these risks and uncertainties
were to actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially harmed. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B></B><B><I>Risks Relating

restricted securities, and may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Because RCI anticipates
that most holders of Restricted Notes will elect to exchange their Restricted Notes, RCI expects that the liquidity of the market for any Restricted Notes remaining after the completion of the Exchange Offers will be substantially limited. Any
Restricted Notes tendered and exchanged in the Exchange Offers will reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Notes of the applicable series outstanding. Following the Exchange Offers, if you do not tender your Restricted Notes, you
generally will not have any further registration rights, and your Restricted Notes will continue to be subject to certain transfer restrictions. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for the Restricted Notes could be adversely affected. </P>

comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the U.S. Securities Act in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes. RCI&#146;s and RCCI&#146;s obligations to make this prospectus available to broker-dealers is limited. Consequently, RCI
and RCCI cannot guarantee that a proper prospectus will be available to broker-dealers wishing to resell their Exchange Notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>You must comply with

indenture governing RCI&#146;s 8.75% Senior Debentures due 2032 (the &#147;<B>2032 Debentures</B>&#148;) contains restrictive covenants to which we are not subject for so long as more than one rating agency assigns the 2032 Debentures an investment
grade rating and we are not in default of our obligations under such indenture. If we fail to meet these conditions, these restrictive covenants will be reinstated. If reinstated, these restrictive covenants might limit our operating flexibility and

event of default under the Exchange Notes. See &#147;Description of the Exchange Notes&#151;Additional Event of Default for a Change in Control Triggering Event&#148;. A change in control and a specified credit rating decline under the terms of the
Exchange Notes of a series is likely to correspond with a change in control and a specified credit rating decline under the terms of our other public debt, which would require us to make a similar offer to purchase with respect to that debt in order
to avoid an event of default thereunder. In addition, a change in control and a specified credit rating decline in respect of our senior public debt will constitute an event of default under our bank credit facilities. In the event of a change in

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following discussion is a summary of material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Exchange Offers to holders of Restricted Notes,
but is not a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. The summary below is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;<B>Code</B>&#148;), regulations of the Treasury Department, administrative rulings and
pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service and judicial decisions, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or to differing interpretations. This summary does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax
consequences that may be applicable to particular holders, including dealers in securities, financial institutions, insurance companies and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> organizations. In addition, this summary does not consider
the effect of any foreign, state, local, gift, estate or other tax laws that may be applicable to a particular holder. This summary applies only to a holder that acquired Restricted Notes at original issue for cash and holds such Restricted Notes as
&#147;capital assets&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;1221 of the Code. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">An exchange of Restricted Notes for Exchange Notes
pursuant to the Exchange Offers will not be treated as a taxable exchange or other taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, there will be no U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders who exchange their Restricted Notes
for Exchange Notes in connection with the Exchange Offers and any such holder will have the same adjusted tax basis and holding period in the Exchange Notes as it had in the Restricted Notes immediately before the exchange. Holders who do not
exchange their Restricted Notes for Exchange Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offers will not recognize any gain or loss, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, upon consummation of the Exchange Offers. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The foregoing discussion of material U.S. federal income tax consequences does not consider the facts and circumstances of any particular
holder&#146;s situation or status. Accordingly, each holder of Restricted Notes considering the Exchange Offers should consult its own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the Exchange Offers to it, including those under state, foreign and
other tax laws. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B><I>Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations </I></B></P>

Canadian Tax Act, (v)&nbsp;do not use or hold, and are not deemed to use or hold, the Notes in, or in connection with, a trade or business carried on, or deemed to be carried on, in Canada, (vi)&nbsp;are not insurers that carry on an insurance

prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Restricted
Notes where such Restricted Notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. RCI and RCCI have agreed that they will deliver, in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, without charge, as many
copies of the prospectus and any amendment and supplement thereto, as such participating broker-dealer may reasonably request in connection with its resale of its Exchange Notes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">RCI will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange Notes by broker-dealers. Exchange Notes received by broker-dealers for their own

writing of options on the Exchange Notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly
to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any such Exchange Notes. Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Notes that
were received by it for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offers and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange Notes may be deemed to be an &#147;underwriter&#148; within the meaning of the U.S. Securities Act,
and any profit of any such resale of Exchange Notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the U.S. Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging
that it will deliver, and by delivering, a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an &#147;underwriter&#148; within the meaning of the U.S. Securities Act. </P>
