Item 5.02(e)   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
     On November 4, 2008, MGM MIRAGE, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) amended (“DCP II Amendment”) the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan II, dated as of December 30, 2004, and as previously amended on December 21, 2005, July 10, 2007 and October 15, 2007 (as previously amended and by the DCP II Amendment, “DCP II”), and amended (“SERP II Amendment”) the Company’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan II, dated as of December 30, 2004, and as previously amended on July 10, 2007 and October 15, 2007 (as previously amended and by the SERP II Amendment, “SERP II”). Pursuant to the DCP II Amendment and SERP II Amendment, respectively, as part of its ongoing cost savings measures, the Company will suspend further Company matching contributions to DCP II for any periods after January 1, 2009, and has suspended further Company contributions to SERP II for any periods after October 1, 2008. Further, consistent with certain transitional relief provided by the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to rules governing nonqualified deferred compensation, the Company will permit the participants under the plans to make a one-time election to receive, without penalty, all or a portion of their respective vested account balances under such plans in a lump sum payment within sixty (60) days of January 1, 2009. All account balances under DCP II and SERP II that are not otherwise withdrawn by the participants will be subject to the terms of the corresponding plans. Additionally, participants in DCP II will have the ability to continue to make contributions to DCP II pursuant to the terms therein; however, the Company will not match such contributions. The foregoing description of the DCP II Amendment and SERP II Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the DCP II Amendment and SERP II Amendment filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
     Additionally, the Company, through its subsidiaries, terminated the Company’s Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan, dated as of January 1, 2001 (“DCP I”), and the Company’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, dated as of January 1, 2001 (“SERP I”), with such termination being effective on November 3, 2008 for all Company employer entities with the exception of MGM Grand Detroit, LLC which is effective as November 5, 2008, and authorized the distribution of all account balances held thereunder to the corresponding participants, in each case, consistent with the terms of DCP I and SERP I, previously filed as Exhibits 10.3(12) and 10.3(13) to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. DCP I and SERP I have been closed, and the Company and the corresponding participants have not made any contributions to such plans for any period after December 31, 2004.
