Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 13, 2026, MGM China Holdings Limited (the “Issuer”), a consolidated subsidiary of MGM Resorts International, a Delaware corporation, issued $750 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.25% senior notes due 2033 under an indenture dated as of May 13, 2026 (the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee (the “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 Issuer intends to use the approximately $739.9 million of net proceeds after estimated fees and expenses from the offering to repay a portion of the amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
The Issuer will pay interest on the notes on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2026. Interest will accrue on the notes at a rate of 6.25% per annum and will be payable in cash.
Prior to May 15, 2029, (i) the Issuer 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, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, and (ii) the Issuer may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings. On or after May 15, 2029, the Issuer may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at a premium declining ratably to zero, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. In the event of a change of control triggering event or an investor put option triggering event (which relates to the status of the gaming operations of the Issuer’s subsidiaries in Macau (the “Special Put Option”)), the Issuer will be required to offer to repurchase the notes at 101% or 100% of the principal amount, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the repurchase date. The Special Put Option will cease to be of effect upon the earlier of the repayment of the notes and such time as the equivalent provision in each of the Issuer’s existing indentures ceases to be of effect.
The Indenture contains covenants that will limit the Issuer’s ability to merge with other companies and require it to comply with certain reporting requirements. These covenants are subject to exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Indenture.
Events of default under the Indenture include, among others, the following with respect to each series of notes: default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the notes; default in payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if any, on the notes; failure to comply with certain covenants in the Indenture for 60 days upon the receipt of notice from the trustee or holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes; acceleration of debt of the Issuer or a subsidiary thereof in excess of a specified amount, which acceleration is not annulled within 30 days; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. In the case of an event of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Issuer, all notes then outstanding will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other event of default occurs with respect to the notes, the trustee or holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes may declare all of the notes of the applicable series to be due and payable immediately, provided that no such declaration may be made with respect to any action taken, and reported publicly or to holders, more than two years prior to such declaration.
The description set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture, which is incorporated by reference hereto as Exhibit 4.1 hereto. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the notes.
