Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Creation of a Direct Financ
On September 19, 2012, MGM Resorts International, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of its 6.750% Senior Notes due 2020 (the "Notes") under an indenture dated as of September 19, 2012 (the "Indenture"), among the Company, the guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Notes were sold in the United States only to accredited investors pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and subsequently resold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering, or approximately $985.8 million (after giving effect to discounts, commissions and offering expenses), to repay a portion of its indebtedness, which may include indebtedness under its senior credit facility or outstanding debt securities. A copy of the Indenture is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1.
The Notes will mature on October 1, 2020. The Company will pay interest on the Notes on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on April 1, 2013. Interest on the Notes will accrue at a rate of 6.750% per annum and be payable in cash.
The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior basis by the Company's subsidiaries, other than its excluded subsidiaries and its Illinois subsidiary, Nevada Landing Partnership, unless and until the Company obtains Illinois gaming approval. The guarantors include all subsidiaries that guarantee the Company's senior credit facility and its existing notes, except for Nevada Landing Partnership, unless and until the Company obtains Illinois gaming approval and, with respect to its credit facility, MGM Grand Detroit, LLC.
The Company may redeem all or part of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus an applicable make whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest.
The Indenture contains customary covenants that will limit the Company's ability and, in certain instances, the ability of the Company's subsidiaries, to incur liens on assets to secure debt, enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions, and merge or consolidate with another company or sell all or substantially all of its assets.
The Indenture provides for customary events of default, including, without limitation, (i) payment defaults, (ii) covenant defaults, (iii) cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness in excess of specified amounts, (iv) certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency or (v) judgment defaults in excess of specified amounts.
In connection with the closing, a registration rights agreement was entered into on September 19, 2012, between the Company, the subsidiary guarantors, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and the initial purchasers named therein (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to (i) file an exchange offer registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to be used in connection with the exchange of the Notes and related guarantees for registered notes and related guarantees with substantially identical terms in all material respects and (ii) to complete an exchange offer within 365 days after the issue date of the Notes. The Company also agreed to file, if obligated, a shelf registration statement relating to the resale of the Notes if the exchange offer is not consummated within the required time period. A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.2.
