LAS VEGAS, Feb. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- MGM Resorts International (the "Company" or "MGM") (NYSE: MGM) today announced that it commenced a "modified Dutch Auction" tender offer to purchase up to $1,250,000,000 in aggregate purchase price of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (each, a "Share," and collectively, the "Shares"), or such lesser aggregate purchase price of Shares as are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, at a price not greater than $34.00 nor less than $29.00 per Share to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest. The tender offer is being made in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions described in the offer to purchase, the related letter of transmittal and other related materials, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time.

The closing price of the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on February 12, 2020, the last full trading day before the commencement of the tender offer, was $33.66 per Share. The tender offer is scheduled to expire at 12:00 Midnight, at the end of the day, New York City time, on March 12, 2020, unless the offer is extended or terminated. Promptly after the expiration date, MGM will, on the terms and subject to the conditions described in the offer to purchase, determine the single per-Share purchase price that MGM will pay, subject to "odd lot" priority, proration and conditional tender provisions, for Shares properly tendered at or below the purchase price in the offer and not properly withdrawn, and accepted for payment, taking into account the number of Shares tendered pursuant to the offer and the prices specified, or deemed specified, by the tendering shareholders.  The purchase price will be the lowest price per Share (in increments of $0.25) of not greater than $34.00 and not less than $29.00 per Share, at which Shares have been properly tendered, or deemed properly tendered, and not properly withdrawn, that will enable MGM to purchase the maximum number of Shares having an aggregate purchase price not exceeding $1,250,000,000 (or, if the offer is not fully subscribed, all Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn). In addition, in the event that Shares are properly tendered at or below the purchase price (and not properly withdrawn) having an aggregate purchase price of more than $1,250,000,000, MGM may exercise its right to purchase up to an additional 2% of its outstanding Shares without extending the expiration date.

On January 14, 2020, the Company entered into a Master Transaction Agreement (the "MTA") with MGM Growth Properties Operating Partnership LP ("MGP OP") and BCORE Windmill Parent LLC (the "Sponsor"), a subsidiary of Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc., among other parties, which provided for, among other things, the transfer of the real estate assets of MGM Grand Las Vegas and Mandalay Bay (the "Properties") to a newly formed entity (the "Joint Venture"), which will be owned 50.1% by MGP OP and 49.9% by the Sponsor. In exchange for the contribution of the MGM Grand Las Vegas real estate assets, the Company will receive approximately $2.4 billion of cash and operating partnership units representing 5% of the equity value of the Joint Venture.  A subsidiary of the Company will also enter into a master lease agreement with the Joint Venture with respect to the Properties. The foregoing series of transactions (collectively, the "Transaction") is expected to close on or before February 19, 2020.

The Company believes that the repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer will allow us to return value to our shareholders following the closing of the Transaction and our receipt of the proceeds therefrom. The tender offer also provides a mechanism for completing the Company's authorized share repurchase program more rapidly than would be possible through open market repurchases. The Company also believes that the modified Dutch auction tender offer is an efficient method of providing its shareholders an opportunity to generate value with respect to some or all of their investment in the Company by tendering all or a portion of their Shares, if they so choose.

The tender offer is not contingent upon any minimum number of Shares being tendered; however, the tender offer is subject to a number of other terms and conditions, which are described in detail in the offer to purchase, including the consummation of the Transaction. Specific instructions and a complete explanation of the terms and conditions of the tender offer are contained in the offer to purchase, the related letter of transmittal and other related materials, which are being mailed to shareholders of record.

None of the Company, the members of its Board of Directors, the dealer managers, the information agent or the depositary makes any recommendation as to whether any shareholder should participate or refrain from participating in the tender offer or as to the purchase price or purchase prices at which shareholders may choose to tender their Shares in the tender offer.

The information agent for the tender offer is Georgeson LLC. The depositary for the tender offer is Computershare Trust Company, N.A. The dealer managers for the tender offer are J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and BofA Securities, Inc. For all questions relating to the tender offer, please call the information agent, Georgeson LLC, toll-free at 888-607-9107; banks and brokers may call any of the dealer managers, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC at 1 (877) 371-5947, or BofA Securities, Inc. at 1 (888) 803-9655.
