MGM Resorts International Completes $1.0 Billion Senior Notes Offering

LAS VEGAS, June 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- MGM Resorts International (the "Company") (NYSE: MGM) today announced that it has completed its previously announced issuance of $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 5.750% senior notes due 2025, which were issued at par.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the notes for general corporate purposes, which could include refinancing existing indebtedness, funding a portion of the cost of acquisitions the Company consummates, paying dividends on common stock or repurchasing common stock in accordance with the Company's share repurchase program.  Pending such use, the Company may invest the net proceeds in short-term interest-bearing accounts, securities or similar investments.

"We are gratified by the overwhelming support we received from the investment community," said Dan D'Arrigo, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of MGM Resorts International.  "Opportunistically accessing the capital markets at this time allowed us to significantly upsize this deal at an attractive interest rate.  The proceeds from this offering further strengthen our financial position allowing us to continue to execute on our strategic and capital allocation plans."
