Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 22, 2011, MGM Resorts International, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (the “DGE”), Marina District Development Company LLC and Boyd Gaming Corporation entered into an amendment, subject to approval by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission (the “CCC”), with respect to the Company’s Stipulation of Settlement with the DGE under which the Company will sell its 50% ownership interest in the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City.
The amendment provides that the mandated sale of the trust property be increased by 18 months to 48 months. During the first 36 months (or until March 24, 2013), the Company has the right to direct the trustee to sell the trust property. If a sale is not concluded by that time, the trustee will be responsible for selling the Company’s interest in the Borgata during the following 12-month period. All other material terms of the settlement agreement remain unchanged.
The CCC is expected to hold a hearing on the amendment to the settlement on August 8, 2011.
The Company remains the sole economic beneficiary of the trust. The Company owns its interest in the Borgata through a 50-50 joint venture with Boyd Gaming Corporation whose interest is not affected by the settlement. A copy of the press release announcing the amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.
