Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 1, 2019, MGP Lessor, LLC (the “Landlord”), a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of MGM Growth Properties LLC (the “Company”), entered into a Fifth Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Master Lease Agreement, dated as of April 25, 2016 between MGM Lessee, LLC (the “Tenant”), a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of MGM Resorts International (“MGM Resorts”) (as amended, the “Master Lease”) with respect to the acquisition by a subsidiary of MGM Resorts of the subsidiary of the Company that owned the operating assets of the Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park. The Amendment provides that, among other things, the Rent (as defined in the Master Lease) under the Master Lease will be increased by $60 million, 90% of which will be allocated to the Base Rent (as defined in the Master Lease) and 10% of which will be allocated to the Percentage Rent (as defined in the Master Lease). This description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

 

Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On April 1, 2019, MGM Growth Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”), a subsidiary of the Company, completed the transaction to sell 100% of the equity interest in Northfield Park Associates LLC, the entity that owns the operating assets associated with the Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park, to a subsidiary of MGM Resorts, and retained the real estate assets.

MGM Resorts funded its acquisition for the transaction with approximately 9.4 million Operating Partnership units that were ultimately redeemed by the Operating Partnership, representing a purchase price of $275 million, plus working capital and other customary adjustments. The number of Operating Partnership units was calculated based on a volume weighted average price per share of MGP’s stock for a twenty-trading-day period one business day prior to the closing date. MGM Resorts holds the Company’s Class B share, which represents a majority of the voting power of the Company’s Class A shares, and is a non-economic interest in the Company that does not provide its holder any rights to profits or losses or any rights to receive distributions from the Company’s operations.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Amendment

1.1      Definitions .

(a)    Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that references to the term “Leased Premises” throughout the Master Lease shall be replaced with the term “Leased Property.”

1.2      Additional Leased Property . Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that from and after the Effective Date, (i) Northfield Park shall be added to the “List of Facilities” set forth on Exhibit A to the Master Lease, (ii) the legal description of Northfield Park attached hereto as Schedule 1 (Part I) shall be added to Part I of Exhibit B to the Master Lease, and the leases and/or subleases attached hereto as Schedule 1 (Part II) shall be added to Part II of the Exhibit B to the Master Lease, (iii) Northfield Park shall constitute a portion of the Leased Property, and shall be a Facility, for all purposes under the Master Lease, (iv) Northfield Park shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease, as modified by this Amendment and as the same may be further modified from time to time, and (v) Northfield Park shall be subleased by Tenant to one or more Operating Subtenants pursuant to one or more Operating Subleases in accordance with the Master Lease.

1.3      Base Rent .

For the purpose of calculating Percentage Rent at the next Percentage Rent Reset Date, the “average annual Net Revenues” of any Facility added to the Leased Property during the trailing five calendar year period prior to such Percentage Rent Reset Date shall be calculated taking into consideration only the portion of such trailing five-year period during which the Facility was included as Leased Property under the Master Lease commencing on the date such Facility was added to the Leased Property.

1.5      Identified Subleases . In addition to the Identified Subleases indicated by letters from Landlord to Tenant dated April 26, 2016, August 2, 2016, October 5, 2017, and January 29, 2019, the definition of Identified Subleases shall also include those certain leases and/or subleases identified in a supplemental letter of even date herewith from Tenant to Landlord.

MGM GROWTH PROPERTIES LLC

MGM GROWTH PROPERTIES OPERATING PARTNERSHIP LP

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

MGM Growth Properties LLC (“MGP” or the “Company”) conducts its operations through and consolidates MGM Growth Properties Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”). MGP is controlled and consolidated by MGM Resorts International (“MGM”). A wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership (the “Landlord”) leases substantially all of its real estate properties back to a wholly owned subsidiary of MGM (the “Tenant”) under a master lease agreement (as amended, the “Master Lease”).

On July 6, 2018, one of our wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiaries (the “TRS”) completed the acquisition of the membership interests of Northfield Park Associates LLC, (“Northfield”), an Ohio limited liability company that owned the real estate assets and operations of the Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park (the “Northfield Acquisition”), for approximately $1.1 billion. The Operating Partnership funded the acquisition through a $200 million draw on its term loan A facility and a $655 million draw under its revolving credit facility, with the remainder of the purchase price paid with cash on hand.

On April 1, 2019, MGP sold the operations of Northfield (“Northfield OpCo”) to a subsidiary of MGM for approximately $275 million, plus working capital and other customary purchase price adjustments, and retained the real estate assets. MGM funded its acquisition of the Northfield OpCo from MGP with Operating Partnership units that were ultimately redeemed by the Operating Partnership. Concurrent with the closing of the transaction, the TRS liquidated, the real estate assets of Northfield were transferred to the Landlord, and Northfield was added to the existing Master Lease between the Landlord and Tenant (the “Northfield OpCo Disposition” and together with the Northfield Acquisition, the “Northfield Transactions”), and the annual rent payment to MGP increased by $60.0 million, prorated for the remainder of the lease year. Consistent with the Master Lease terms, 90% of this rent will be fixed and contractually grow at 2% per year until 2022.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information was based on, and should be read in conjunction with:

 

   

the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information; and

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

1.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 give effect to the Northfield Transactions as if they had occurred on December 31, 2018. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 give effect to the Northfield Transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2018. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information gives effect to events that are (i) directly attributable to these transactions, (ii) factually supportable and (iii) with respect to the statements of operations, are expected to have a continuing impact on MGP’s and the Operating Partnership’s consolidated results.

The Northfield Acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), with the TRS as the accounting acquirer and based on the historical consolidated financial statements of MGP and the Operating Partnership.

The Northfield OpCo Disposition is considered to be a transaction between legal entities under common control and has been accounted for under the common control subsections of ASC 805. Under the common control subsections of ASC 805, the recognized assets and liabilities transferred to MGM in connection with the Northfield OpCo Disposition shall be disposed by MGP on the same basis as that established by the Operating Partnership. Any difference between the purchase consideration paid by MGM and the basis of the net assets sold by MGP and the Operating Partnership is recorded as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity and partners’ capital, respectively.

The pro forma adjustments represent management’s best estimates and are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that MGP and the Operating Partnership believe are reasonable.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information presented is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have been realized if the Northfield Transactions had been completed on the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of the future operating results or financial position of MGP or the Operating Partnership. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that MGP and the Operating Partnership may achieve, the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings, operating synergies and revenue enhancements, or the integration related costs of MGP and the Operating Partnership.

 

2.

Northfield Transactions Adjustments

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets

 

  (a)

Reflects the sale of Northfield OpCo, along with the reclassification of Northfield’s real property assets to real estate investments, net, in connection with the Northfield OpCo Disposition.

 

  (b)

Reflects the accrual of taxes related to the gain on liquidation of the TRS. These tax-related expenses are not reflected as an adjustment in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations because they do not have a continuing impact on MGP or the Operating Partnership. Deferred tax liabilities of $3.9 million have been eliminated in connection with the sale of the Northfield OpCo.

 

  (c)

Reflects acquisition-related expenses related to the Northfield OpCo Disposition that have been reflected as a pro forma adjustment reducing shareholders’ equity and partners’ capital in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheets of MGP and the Operating Partnership, respectively. These acquisition-related expenses are not reflected as an adjustment in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations because they do not have a continuing impact on MGP or the Operating Partnership.

 

  (d)

Reflects MGM’s consideration of 9,362,326 Operating Partnership units for the purchase of the Northfield OpCo from MGP, for which the fair value as of April 1, 2019 is $301.4 million, partially offset by the difference of $4.5 million between such consideration and the carrying amounts of the net assets sold in connection with the Northfield OpCo Disposition of $296.9 million in accordance with the common control subsections of ASC 805. The April 1, 2019 closing share price of MGP’s Class A shares was utilized to determine the fair value of the Operating Partnership units.

 

6


Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations

 

  (aa)

Reflects rental income associated with rent from the Master Lease attributable to Northfield. For pro forma purposes, the Master Lease amendment related to the Northfield OpCo Disposition is reflected as if it were effective beginning on January 1, 2018 at the beginning of the twenty second month in the second lease year and subject to the fixed annual rent escalator of 2.0% for the second through the sixth lease years (as defined in the Master Lease).

 

  (bb)

Reflects revenue for the property taxes paid by the Tenant under the Master Lease for calendar year 2018, as if the Northfield Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2018, with a corresponding offsetting expense as the Landlord is deemed the primary obligor of such property tax payment.

 

  (cc)

Reflects the elimination of the revenue and expenses related to Northfield OpCo.

 

  (dd)

Reflects depreciation expense for the period from January 1, 2018 to July 5, 2018, as if the Northfield Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2018.

 

  (ee)

Reflects the elimination of nonrecurring acquisition-related expenses incurred that are directly related to the Northfield Acquisition, as such expenses do not have a continuing impact on MGP or the Operating Partnership.

 

  (ff)

Reflects the elimination of nonrecurring corporate overhead and tax-related expenses that are directly related to Northfield OpCo, as such expenses do not have a continuing impact on MGP or the Operating Partnership.

 

  (gg)

Reflects incremental interest expense for the period from January 1, 2018 to July 5, 2018, as if the Northfield Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2018, related to the borrowings under the term loan A and revolving credit facilities used to fund the Northfield Acquisition, including the amortization of the related discount and debt issuance costs.

 

  (hh)

Reflects the effect of the Northfield Transactions after which MGM owned 72.4% of the weighted average Operating Partnership units outstanding for the period presented, entitling MGM to 72.4% of the economic interest in the Operating Partnership.
