Financial Information of MGP and MGP OP
As previously disclosed, on August 4, 2021, VICI Properties Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), MGM Growth Properties LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MGP”), MGM Growth Properties Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“MGP OP”), VICI Properties LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Existing VICI OP”), Venus Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Existing VICI OP (“REIT Merger Sub”), VICI Properties OP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“New VICI Operating Company”), and MGM Resorts International, a Delaware corporation (“MGM”), entered into a definitive Master Transaction Agreement (the “Master Transaction Agreement”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Master Transaction Agreement, prior to or on the closing date under the Master Transaction Agreement, the Company will contribute its interest in Existing VICI OP to New VICI Operating Company, which will serve as a new operating company for the Company. Following the contribution transaction, MGP will merge with and into REIT Merger Sub, with REIT Merger Sub surviving the merger (the “REIT Merger”). Immediately following consummation of the REIT Merger, REIT Merger Sub will distribute the interests of the general partner of MGP OP to Existing VICI OP and, immediately following such distribution, REIT Merger Sub will merge with and into MGP OP, with MGP OP surviving the merger (together with the REIT Merger, the “Mergers”).
The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide certain financial information with respect to the proposed Mergers. Specifically, this Current Report on Form 8-K provides: (1) the unaudited consolidated financial statements of MGP and MGP OP as of September 30, 2021 and for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference, and (2) the Company’s unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements as of and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020, relating to the proposed Mergers, the other transactions contemplated by the Master Transaction Agreement and certain other pending or recently closed transactions, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference. Such unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared on the basis of certain assumptions and estimates and are subject to other uncertainties and do not purport to reflect what the actual results of operations or financial condition of the combined company would have been had the Mergers been consummated on the dates assumed for purposes of such pro forma financial statements or to be indicative of the financial condition or results of operations of the combined company as of or for any future date or period. For further information, see Exhibit 99.2. The information in Exhibit 99.1 was provided by MGP and MGP OP.
Forward Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to the proposed transaction described herein, including statements regarding the anticipated benefits of the transaction, the anticipated timing of the transaction and the markets of each company. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “anticipates,” “assumes,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “guidance,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on our current plans, expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties.
Currently, one of the most significant factors that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from our forward-looking statements is the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s, MGP’s and each company’s respective tenants’ financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely affect each company’s tenants, and ultimately impacts each company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance depends on future developments which cannot be predicted with confidence. Many additional factors could cause actual future events and results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: (i) the possibility that conditions to the closing of the proposed transaction are not satisfied or waived at all or on the anticipated timeline, (ii) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, including as a result of delay in completing the proposed transaction, (iii) the risk that MGP’s business will not be integrated successfully or that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected, (iv) unexpected costs or liabilities relating to the proposed transaction, (v) litigation relating to the proposed transaction that has and could in the future be instituted against the Company or MGP or their respective directors or officers and the resulting expense or delay, (vi) the risk that disruptions caused by or relating to the proposed transaction will harm the Company’s or MGP’s business, including current plans and operations, (vii) the ability of the Company or MGP to retain and hire key personnel, (viii) potential adverse reactions by tenants or other business partners or changes to business relationships, including joint ventures, resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed transaction, (ix) risks relating to the market value of the Company’s common stock to be issued in the proposed transaction, (x) risks associated with third-party contracts containing consent and/or other provisions that may be triggered by the proposed transaction, (xi) the impact of public health crises, such as pandemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic) and epidemics and any related company or government policies and actions intended to protect the health and safety of individuals or government policies or actions intended to maintain the functioning of national or global economies and markets, (xii) general economic and market developments and conditions, including low consumer confidence, unemployment levels and depressed real estate prices resulting from the severity and duration of any downturn in the U.S. or global economy, (xiii) restrictions during the pendency of the proposed transaction or thereafter that may impact the Company’s or MGP’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions, (xiv) either company’s ability to maintain its status as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and (xv) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Master Transaction Agreement relating to the proposed transaction. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Each of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our tenants’ ability to satisfy their obligations under their leases with us, including their continued ability to pay rent in a timely manner, or at all, and/or to fund capital expenditures or make other payments required under their leases. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that affect the businesses of the Company described in the “Risk Factors” section of its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents filed from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned to interpret many of the risks identified in the “Risk Factors” section of these filings as being heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and the Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The Company gives no assurance that it will achieve its expectations.

MGM GROWTH PROPERTIES LLC AND MGM GROWTH PROPERTIES OPERATING
PARTNERSHIP LP CONDENSED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Unaudited) ****
NOTE 1 — BUSINESS
Organization. MGM Growth Properties LLC (“MGP” or the “Company”) is a limited liability company that was organized in Delaware in October 2015. MGP conducts its operations through MGM Growth Properties Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership that was formed in January 2016 and became a subsidiary of MGP in April 2016. The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2016.
MGP is a publicly traded REIT primarily engaged through its investment in the Operating Partnership which owns, acquires, leases and invests in large-scale destination entertainment and leisure properties, whose tenants generally offer casino gaming, hotel, convention, dining, entertainment and retail and other amenities. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership leases its real estate properties back to a wholly owned subsidiary of MGM under a master lease agreement (the “MGM-MGP Master Lease”). In February 2020, the Operating Partnership entered into certain transactions to form a venture owned 50.1% by the Operating Partnership and 49.9% by a subsidiary of Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (“BREIT”, such venture, the “MGP BREIT Venture”), which owns the real estate assets of MGM Grand Las Vegas and Mandalay Bay and leases such real estate properties back to a wholly owned subsidiary of MGM under a master lease agreement (the “MGP BREIT Venture lease”, such formation transaction, the “MGP BREIT Venture Transaction”).
As of September 30, 2021, there were approximately 268.0 million Operating Partnership units outstanding in the Operating Partnership, of which MGM owned approximately 111.4 million, or 41.6%, and MGP owned the remaining 58.4%. MGM’s Operating Partnership units are exchangeable into Class A shares of MGP on a one-to-one basis, or cash at the Fair Market Value of a Class A share (as defined in the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement). The determination of settlement method is at the option of MGP’s independent conflicts committee. MGM’s indirect ownership of these Operating Partnership units is recognized as a noncontrolling interest in MGP’s financial statements. A wholly owned subsidiary of MGP is the general partner of the Operating Partnership and operates and controls all of its business affairs. As a result, MGP consolidates the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. MGM also has ownership of MGP’s outstanding Class B share. The Class B share is a non-economic interest in MGP which does not provide its holder any rights to profits or losses or any rights to receive distributions from the operations of MGP or upon liquidation or winding up of MGP but which represents a majority of the voting power of MGP’s shares. As a result, MGP continues to be controlled by MGM through its majority voting rights and is consolidated by MGM.
In March 2021, certain subsidiaries of MGM delivered a notice of redemption to the Company covering approximately 37.1 million Operating Partnership units that they held that was satisfied with aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $1.2 billion using cash on hand together with the proceeds from the issuance of Class A shares. Refer to Note 8 for further discussion.
On August 4, 2021, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into an agreement with VICI Properties, Inc. (“VICI”) and MGM whereby VICI will acquire the Company in a stock-for-stock transaction (such transaction, the “VICI Transaction”). Pursuant to the agreement, MGP Class A shareholders will have the right to receive 1.366 shares of newly issued VICI stock in exchange for each MGP Class A share outstanding and MGM will have the right to receive 1.366 units of the new VICI operating partnership (“VICI OP”) in exchange for each Operating Partnership unit held by MGM. The fixed exchange ratio represents an agreed upon price of $43 per share of MGP Class A share to the five-day volume weighted average price of VICI stock as of the close of business on July 30, 2021. In connection with the exchange, VICI OP will redeem the majority of MGM’s VICI OP units for cash consideration of $4.4 billion, with MGM retaining approximately 12.2 million VICI OP units. MGP’s Class B share that is held by MGM will be cancelled. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2022, subject to customary closing conditions, regulatory approvals, and approval by VICI stockholders (which was received on October 29, 2021).
Subsequent to quarter end, on October 29, 2021, the Company acquired the real estate assets of MGM Springfield from MGM for $400 million of cash consideration. MGM Springfield was added to the MGM-MGP Master Lease between the Company and MGM. Following the closing of the transaction, the annual rent payment under the MGM-MGP Master Lease increased by $30 million, $27.0 million of which is fixed and contractually grows at 2% per year with escalators subject to the tenant meeting an adjusted net revenue to rent ratio. Final regulatory approvals, which were not necessary for the transaction to close, are expected to be received within nine to twelve months following the close of the transaction. Until final regulatory approvals are obtained, the parties will be subject to a trust agreement, which will provide for the property to be placed into a trust (or, at MGM’s option, be returned to MGM) during the interim period in the event that the regulator finds reasonable cause to believe that the Company may not be found suitable. The property will then remain in trust until a final determination regarding the Company’s suitability is made.
NOTE 2— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), as published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), and with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period have been included.
13
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior period presentation.
Principles of consolidation. The Company identifies entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights and to determine which business enterprise is the primary beneficiary of variable interest entities (“VIE”). A VIE is an entity in which either (i) the equity investors as a group, if any, lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of such entity that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance or (ii) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company identifies the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the entity. The Company consolidates its investment in a VIE when it determines that it is its primary beneficiary. The Company may change its original assessment of a VIE upon subsequent events such as the modification of contractual arrangements that affect the characteristics or adequacy of the entity’s equity investments at risk and the disposition of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary. The Company performs this analysis on an ongoing basis. The consolidated financial statements of MGP include the accounts of the Operating Partnership, a VIE of which the Company is the primary beneficiary, as well as its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, which represents all of MGP’s assets and liabilities. As MGP holds what is deemed a majority voting interest in the Operating Partnership through its ownership of the Operating Partnership’s sole general partner, it qualifies for the exemption from providing certain of the required disclosures associated with investments in VIEs. The consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiary, MGP Lessor LLC, which is the MGM-MGP Master Lease landlord, a VIE of which the Operating Partnership is the primary beneficiary. As of September 30, 2021, on a consolidated basis, MGP Lessor, LLC had total assets of $9.0 billion primarily related to its real estate investments, and total liabilities of $577.7 million primarily related to its deferred revenue and operating lease liabilities.
For entities determined not to be VIEs, the Company consolidates such entities in which the Company owns 100% of the equity. For entities in which the Company owns less than 100% of the equity interest, the Company consolidates the entity under the voting interest model if it has controlling financial interest based upon the terms of the respective entities’ ownership agreements. If the entity does not qualify for consolidation under the voting interest model and the Company has significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of the entity, the Company accounts for the entity under the equity method, such as the Company’s MGP BREIT Venture, which does not qualify for consolidation as the Company has joint control, given the entity is structured with substantive participating rights whereby both owners participate in the decision making process which prevents the Company from exerting a controlling financial interest, as defined in ASC 810.
Noncontrolling interest. MGP presents noncontrolling interest and classifies such interest as a component of consolidated shareholders’ equity, separate from the Company’s Class A shareholders’ equity. Noncontrolling interest in MGP represents Operating Partnership units currently held by subsidiaries of MGM. Comprehensive income or loss of the Operating Partnership is allocated to its noncontrolling interest based on the noncontrolling interest’s ownership percentage in the Operating Partnership except for income tax expenses. Ownership percentage is calculated by dividing the number of Operating Partnership units held by the noncontrolling interest by the total Operating Partnership units held by the noncontrolling interest and the Company. Issuance of additional Class A shares and Operating Partnership units changes the ownership interests of both the noncontrolling interest and the Company. Such transactions and the related proceeds are treated as capital transactions.
MGM may tender its Operating Partnership units for redemption in exchange for cash equal to the market price of MGP’s Class A shares at the time of redemption or for unregistered Class A shares on a one-for-one basis. Such election to pay cash or issue Class A shares to satisfy an Operating Partnership unitholder’s redemption request is solely within the control of MGP’s independent conflicts committee.
Redeemable noncontrolling interest and redeemable capital. On January 14, 2020 the Operating Partnership agreed to waive its right following the closing of the MGP BREIT Venture Transaction to issue MGP Class A shares, in lieu of cash, to settle redemptions of Operating Partnership units held by MGM up to a maximum cash redemption amount of $1.4 billion. In connection with the waiver, the Operating Partnership and the Company reclassified, from permanent equity to temporary equity, the carrying value of Operating Partnership units that could require cash redemption and remeasured the units to their redemption value. The Operating Partnership units that comprised the $1.4 billion redemption amount were determined based on a 3% discount to the ten-day average closing price prior to the date of determination.
At each subsequent reporting period, the carrying value of temporary equity was remeasured to the greater of: (1) the carrying value of the number of units then considered redeemable, inclusive of the comprehensive income and losses attributed based on a per unit or share basis in accordance with ASC 810 or (2) the redemption value of the number of units that are then redeemable based on the remaining aggregate cash redemption amount and the per share redemption value, except that decreases in the per unit or share redemption were limited to the amount of previous increases, with the differences between the carrying value and the remeasured value being recorded as an adjustment in additional paid-in capital (in lieu of retained earnings) or limited partners’ capital.
The $1.4 billion maximum cash redemption amount was completed by the $700 million redeemed on May 18, 2020 and the $700 million redeemed on December 2, 2020.

Property transactions, net. Property transactions, net are comprised of transactions related to long-lived assets, such as gains and losses on the disposition of assets.
Fair value measurements. Fair value measurements are utilized in the accounting and impairment assessments of the Company’s real estate investments, investment in unconsolidated affiliate, and certain of its financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and is measured according to a hierarchy that includes: Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices in an active market; Level 2 inputs, which are observable inputs for similar assets; or Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs. The Company used the following inputs in its fair value measurements:
| • | Level 2 inputs for its debt fair value disclosures. See Note 6; and |
|---|---|
| • | Level 2 inputs when measuring the fair value of its interest rate swaps. See Note 7. |
| --- | --- |
Reportable segment. The Company’s operations consist of investments in real estate, both wholly-owned and through its investment in MGP BREIT Venture, for which all such real estate properties are similar to one another in that they consist of large-scale destination entertainment and leisure properties and related offerings, whose tenants generally offer casino gaming, hotel, convention, dining, entertainment and retail amenities, have similar economic characteristics and are governed by triple-net operating leases. The operating results of the Company’s wholly owned and equity method real estate investments are regularly reviewed, in the aggregate, by the chief operating decision maker. As such, the Company has one reportable segment.
Income tax provision. For interim income tax reporting, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate and applies it to its year-to-date ordinary income. The tax effects of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur. The Company’s effective income tax rate was a provision of 2.8% and 2.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and 2.7% and 8.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.
The Company and MGM join in the filing of a New Jersey consolidated corporation business tax return and have entered into a tax sharing agreement which provides for an allocation of taxes due in the consolidated New Jersey return. No amounts were due to MGM under the tax sharing agreement between the Company and MGM as of September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

Recently issued accounting standards. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASC 848, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”. ASC 848 provides optional expedients for applying U.S. GAAP to reference rate reform related contracts, hedging relationships and other qualifying transactions. Application of these expedients preserve the presentation of derivative instruments consistent with past presentation. The guidance is optional and may be elected when or as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company is currently evaluating whether it will elect practical expedients if and when its hedging and related activities are impacted.

NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATE
As of September 30, 2021, the Operating Partnership’s investment in unconsolidated affiliate was comprised of its 50.1% interest in MGP BREIT Venture. The Operating Partnership recorded its share of income as “Income from unconsolidated affiliate” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Operating Partnership received $23.5 million and $70.5 million in distributions from MGP BREIT Venture during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $22.9 million and $58.1 million in distributions from MGP BREIT Venture during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

MGP BREIT Venture guarantee. The Operating Partnership provides a guarantee for losses incurred by the lenders of the $3.0 billion indebtedness of the MGP BREIT Venture arising out of certain bad acts by the Operating Partnership, its venture partner, or the venture, such as fraud or willful misconduct, based on the party’s percentage ownership of the MGP BREIT Venture, which guarantee is capped at 10% of the principal amount outstanding at the time of the loss. The Operating Partnership and its venture partner have separately indemnified each other for the other party’s share of the overall liability exposure, if at fault. The guarantee is accounted for under ASC 460 at fair value; such value is immaterial.
MGP BREIT Venture excess cash flow guarantee. The MGP BREIT Venture loan agreement requires that the tenant EBITDAR to MGP BREIT Venture cash interest ratio is maintained above a specified level. If this ratio is not met for two consecutive fiscal quarters, then the borrowers will be unable to distribute excess cash flows to the venture partners unless and until an excess cash flow guarantee is provided. The ratio was not met for the two consecutive quarters ended December 31, 2020, and, as a result, in April 2021, the Operating Partnership and an entity affiliated with BREIT each delivered an excess cash flow guarantee to the lenders covering all distributions since January 1, 2021. The guarantee provides that the MGP BREIT Venture may distribute an aggregate amount of cash not to exceed 9.9% of the principal amount of the MGP BREIT Venture’s outstanding indebtedness under the loan agreement, after which distributions must remain at the MGP BREIT Venture in a restricted cash account until such time as the tenant EBITDAR to MGP BREIT Venture cash interest ratio is met for two consecutive quarters. In addition, in the event of a default under the loan agreement while the ratio is not met, the Company may be required to return its respective share of distributions received during the period covered by the guarantee.
NOTE 5 — LEASES
MGM-MGP Master Lease. The MGM-MGP Master Lease is accounted for as an operating lease and has an initial lease term of ten years that began on April 25, 2016 (other than with respect to MGM National Harbor, as described below) with the potential to extend the term for four additional five-year terms thereafter at the option of the tenant. The lease provides that any extension of its term must apply to all of the real estate under the lease at the time of the extension. With respect to MGM National Harbor, the initial lease term ends on August 31, 2024. Thereafter, the initial term of the lease with respect to MGM National Harbor may be renewed at the option of the tenant for an initial renewal period lasting until the earlier of the end of the then-current term of the lease or the next renewal term (depending on whether MGM elects to renew the other properties under the lease in
16
connection with the expiration of the initial ten-year term). If, however, the tenant chooses not to renew the lease with respect to MGM National Harbor after the initial MGM National Harbor term under the lease, the tenant would also lose the right to renew the lease with respect to the rest of the properties when the initial ten-year lease term ends related to the rest of the properties in 2026. The lease has a triple-net structure, which requires the tenant to pay substantially all costs associated with the lease, including real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and routine maintenance, in addition to the base rent. Additionally, the lease provides MGP with a right of first offer with respect to any future gaming development by MGM on the undeveloped land adjacent to Empire City, which MGP may exercise should MGM elect to sell such property in the future.
Rent under the lease consists of a “base rent” component and a “percentage rent” component. As of September 30, 2021, the base rent represents approximately 91% of the rent payments due under the lease and the percentage rent represents approximately 9% of the rent payments due under the lease. The base rent includes a fixed annual rent escalator of 2.0% for the second through the sixth lease years (as defined in the lease). Thereafter, beginning on April 1, 2022, the annual escalator of 2.0% will be subject to the tenant and, without duplication, the operating subsidiary sublessees of the tenant, collectively meeting an adjusted net revenue to rent ratio of 6.25:1.00 based on their net revenue from the leased properties subject to the lease (as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, adjusted to exclude net revenue attributable to certain scheduled subleases and, at the tenant’s option, reimbursed cost revenue). The percentage rent will initially be a fixed amount for approximately the first six years and will then be adjusted every five years based on the average annual adjusted net revenues of the tenant and, without duplication, the operating subtenants, from the leased properties subject to the lease at such time for the trailing five calendar-year period (calculated by multiplying the average annual adjusted net revenues, excluding net revenue attributable to certain scheduled subleases and, at the tenant’s option, reimbursed cost revenue, for the trailing five calendar-year period by 1.4%).
In connection with the commencement of the sixth lease year on April 1, 2021, and the corresponding 2.0% fixed annual rent escalator that went into effect on such date, the base rent under the MGM-MGP Master Lease increased to $764.9 million, resulting in total annual rent under the MGM-MGP Master Lease of $842.8 million.
Straight-line rental revenues from the MGM-MGP Master Lease, which includes lease incentive asset amortization, were $188.3 million and $564.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and were $188.3 million and $580.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The Company also recognized revenue related to ground lease and other of $6.0 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and $18.1 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
Under the MGM-MGP Master Lease, future non-cancelable minimum cash rental payments, which are the payments under the initial 10-year term through April 30, 2026 and do not include the four five-year renewal options and, with respect to MGM National Harbor, through August 31, 2024, are as follows as of September 30, 2021 (and, accordingly, does not reflect the cash rental payments of $30 million annually related to MGM Springfield, for which the related transaction closed subsequent to September 30, 2021):

Operating Partnership credit agreement and bridge facility. At September 30, 2021, the Operating Partnership senior secured credit facility consisted of a $1.4 billion revolving credit facility. The Operating Partnership’s senior credit facility limits the amount of letters of credit that can be issued to $75 million. No letters of credit were outstanding under the Operating Partnership senior secured credit facility at September 30, 2021. The Operating Partnership was in compliance with its financial covenants at September 30, 2021.
Refer to Note 7 for further discussion of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements.
Fair value of debt. The estimated fair value of the Operating Partnership’s debt was $4.6 billion at September 30, 2021 and $4.5 billion at December 31, 2020. Fair value was estimated using quoted market prices for the Operating Partnership’s senior notes and senior secured credit facility.
NOTE 7 — DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Operating Partnership uses derivative instruments to mitigate the effects of interest rate volatility inherent in its variable rate senior credit facility and forecasted debt issuances for the duration and amount of its interest rate swap agreements, which such variable rate could unfavorably impact future earnings and forecasted cash flows. The Operating Partnership and the Company do not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
In May 2021, the Operating Partnership terminated interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $1.2 billion which resulted in a loss of less than $0.1 million. Additionally, in June 2021, the Operating Partnership modified and extended certain of its existing interest rate swaps with a combined notional amount of $900 million, effective June 30, 2022. The weighted average fixed rate paid under the modified swap agreements is 1.940% and the variable rate received resets monthly to the one-month LIBOR with no minimum floor. The maturity dates were extended to June 30, 2027.
The interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2021 are summarized in the table below.

NOTE 8 —SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND PARTNERS’ CAPITAL
MGP shareholders
Issuance of Class A shares - March 2021. On March 15, 2021, the Company completed an offering of 21.9 million Class A shares in a registered public offering for net proceeds of approximately $676.0 million.

“At-the-market-offering” (“ATM”)Program. On May 12, 2021, the Company resumed its 2019 ATM program to offer and sell the remaining $117.7 million of Class A shares under the $300 million program through sales agents at prevailing market prices or agreed-upon prices. The Company issued less than 0.1 million and 3.3 million Class A shares for net proceeds of $0.3 million and $116.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and completed its ATM program.
Operating Partnership capital
Proceeds from the issuance of Class A shares by MGP - March 2021. On March 15, 2021, in connection with the Company’s registered offering of Class A shares for net proceeds of approximately $676.0 million, such proceeds were used in connection with satisfying the Company’s obligations under the notice of redemption of Operating Partnership units from MGM, discussed below.
Redemption of Operating Partnership units - March 2021. In March 2021, certain subsidiaries of MGM delivered a notice of redemption to the Company covering approximately 37.1 million Operating Partnership units that they held in accordance with the terms of the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement. In accordance with the terms of such agreement, upon receipt of the notice of redemption, the Company formed a conflicts committee to determine the mix of consideration that it would provide for the Operating Partnership units. The conflicts committee determined that the Company would redeem approximately 15.3 million Operating Partnership units for cash on March 12, 2021 (with such Operating Partnership units retired upon redemption) and would satisfy its remaining obligation under that notice covering the remaining 21.9 million Operating Partnership units using the proceeds, net of underwriters’ discount, from an offering of MGP’s Class A shares on March 15, 2021, for aggregate cash proceeds paid of approximately $1.2 billion. As a result of these collective transactions, MGP’s indirect ownership percentage in the Operating Partnership increased from 47.0% to 57.9%.
MGP Class A share issuance - ATM Program. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, in connection with the Company’s issuance of Class A shares under the ATM program, which completed its ATM program, the Operating Partnership issued less than 0.1 million and 3.3 million Operating Partnership units to the Company, respectively. As a result of these issuances, and as of September 30, 2021, MGP’s ownership percentage in the Operating Partnership was 58.4%.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and all other non-shareholder changes in equity, or other comprehensive income (loss). Elements of the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss are reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity.

We refer to the Term Loan B Facility Repayment and Interest Rate Swap Settlement, the Forum Convention Center Mortgage Loan, the Chelsea Piers Mortgage Loan, the Eldorado Transaction, the Second Lien Notes Redemption and the JACK Cleveland/Thistledown Acquisition, collectively, as the “Recently Completed Transactions.”
Pro forma adjustments derived from such assumptions are based on currently available information, and in many cases are based on assumptions, estimates and preliminary information. The assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of VICI. We believe such assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances and reflect our best currently available estimates and judgments. However, no assurance can be given that the MTA Transactions or the Venetian Acquisition will occur on the terms or timing contemplated herein, or at all. Similarly, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements include various assumptions, some of which are described in the accompanying notes, relating to our incurrence of $4,404.0 million of long-term debt to finance the redemption of the Redeemed Units and $600.0 million of long-term debt to finance a portion of the purchase price of the Venetian Acquisition and the net settlement of the MGP interest rate swaps. While these assumptions are based on currently available information and market conditions, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining the financing on the terms described herein or at all, and the actual terms of any such financings will depend on various factors, including our creditworthiness, the general condition of the capital markets, interest rates, the structure of our debt, our recent and anticipated financial position and results of operations, the price of VICI Common Stock, taxes and other factors at the time any such financings take place. Furthermore, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are not reflective of our future financial condition or results of operations and do not necessarily reflect what our financial condition or results of operations would have been had the transactions to which the pro forma adjustments relate actually occurred on the dates indicated.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are derived from and should be read in conjunction with VICI’s and MGP’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in their respective Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Note 1— Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are those set out in VICI’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and VICI’s unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. VICI’s management has determined that there were no significant accounting policy differences between VICI and MGP and, therefore, no adjustments are necessary to conform MGP’s financial statements to the accounting policies used by VICI in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, other than those reclassification adjustments required to confirm with VICI’s classifications described in Note 2. This conclusion is subject to change as further assessment is performed and finalized for purchase accounting.
In accordance with (“ASC”) 805—“Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), management determined that the acquisition of MGP does not meet the definition of a business and is accordingly accounted for as an asset acquisition under ASC 805-50. Further, as part of the application of ASC 805, VICI will conduct a more detailed review of MGP’s accounting policies in an effort to determine if differences in accounting policies require further reclassification or adjustment of MGP’s results of operations or reclassification or adjustment of assets or liabilities to conform to VICI’s accounting policies and classifications. Therefore, VICI may identify additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. In certain cases, the information necessary to evaluate the differences in accounting policies and the impacts thereof may not be available until after the MTA Transactions are completed.
Note 2—Reclassification Adjustments
In these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the MGP historical financial statement line items include the reclassification of certain historical balances to conform to the VICI presentation of these items, as described below. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported total assets, total liabilities, stockholders’ equity or income from continuing operations of VICI or MGP.

Note 3 — Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
Estimated Preliminary Purchase Price
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect the preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to MGP’s identifiable net assets acquired, which is based upon an estimated preliminary purchase price of approximately $11,178.7 million. The calculation of the estimated preliminary purchase price related to the MTA Transactions is as follows:
| (In Thousands) | Amount | |
|---|---|---|
| REIT Merger Consideration ^(1)^ | $ | 6,260,703 |
| Redemption Consideration ^(2)^ | 4,404,000 | |
| MGP OP Unit rollover for MGM^(3)^ | 356,949 | |
| Estimated transaction costs ^(4)^ | 157,000 | |
| Total consideration to be transferred | $ | 11,178,652 |
| (1) | Amount is based on the conversion of the outstanding MGP Class A Common Shares, including the shares<br>underlying the MGP equity incentive award units as of September 30, 2021, into shares of VICI Common Stock representing the REIT Merger Consideration as follows: | |
| --- | --- | |
| ($ in Thousands, Except For Per Share Amounts) | Amount | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| MGP Class A Common Shares | 156,653,604 | |
| MGP equity incentive award units | 468,032 | |
| Total MGP shares to be converted to VICI Common Stock | **** | 157,121,636 |
| Exchange Ratio | 1.366 | |
| REIT Merger Consideration Stock Issuance | **** | 214,628,155 |
| VICI stock price as of November 17, 2021 | $ | 29.17 |
| Value of REIT Merger Consideration Stock Issuance | $ | 6,260,703 |
| (2) | Represents the cash consideration for the Redeemed Units. | |
| --- | --- | |
| (3) | Retention of MGP OP Units by MGM converted into 12,236,838 New VICI Operating Company Units at a value of<br>$29.17 per unit, representing the value of VICI Common Stock as of November 17, 2021. | |
| --- | --- | |
| (4) | The MTA Transactions are accounted for as an asset acquisition and accordingly all transaction costs directly<br>related to the merger are capitalized. The amount represents the estimate of third-party advisory fees, legal fees and closing fees associated with the MTA Transactions. | |
| --- | --- |
The actual value of the VICI Common Stock to be issued in the REIT Merger and the value of the MGP OP Units rollover for MGM will depend on the market price of shares of VICI Common Stock at the Closing, and therefore, the actual purchase price will fluctuate with the market price of VICI Common Stock until the MTA Transactions are consummated. As a result, the final purchase price could differ significantly from the current estimate, which could materially impact the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. A 10% difference in VICI’s stock price would change the purchase price by approximately $661.8 million, which would be recorded as an adjustment to the fair value of the net assets acquired on a relative fair value basis.
The outstanding number of shares of MGP Class A Common Shares and MGP OP Units may change prior to the closing of the MTA Transactions due to transactions in the ordinary course of business, including unknown changes in vesting of outstanding MGP equity-based awards and any grants of new MGP equity-based awards. Any such changes are not expected to have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
The preliminary purchase price allocation to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is provided below. The following table provides a summary of the preliminary purchase price allocation by major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on VICI management’s preliminary estimate of their respective relative fair values as of September 30, 2021:
| (In Thousands) | Amount | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Investments in leases - financing receivables | $ | 14,857,474 | |
| Investment in unconsolidated affiliate | 1,227,712 | ||
| Cash and cash equivalents ^(1)^ | (80,424 | ) | |
| Other assets | 16,076 | ||
| Debt, net ^(1)^ | (4,573,050 | ) | |
| Accrued interest | (52,007 | ) | |
| Dividends payable | (139,374 | ) | |
| Other liabilities | (77,755 | ) | |
| Total Purchase Price | $ | 11,178,652 | **** |
| (1) | This amount includes the payment for MGP’s acquisition of MGM Springfield which was funded on<br>October 29, 2021 in cash. | ||
| --- | --- |
The purchase price allocation presented above has not been finalized. The final determination of the allocation of the purchase price will be based on the fair value of such assets and liabilities as of the actual consummation date of the MTA Transactions and will be completed after the MTA Transactions are consummated. These final fair values will be determined based on VICI management’s judgment, which is based on various factors. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the net assets acquired, as compared to the information shown herein, could change the portion of the purchase consideration allocable to the different assets and liabilities and could impact the operating results of the Combined Company following the MTA Transactions due to differences in the allocation of the purchase consideration.
Note 4—Balance Sheet Pro Forma Adjustments
Real Estate Portfolio
| (a) | Represents the following pro forma adjustments to the Real estate portfolio: |
|---|
The MTA Transactions
| • | The elimination of the MGM Master Lease as an operating lease, including the elimination of the Lease incentive<br>asset balance and Deferred revenue balance. |
|---|---|
| • | The recognition of the MGM Master Lease at fair value of the underlying assets, including the reclassification of<br>the MGM Master Lease to an Investment in leases - financing receivables, net accounted for under ASC 310—Receivables. Upon consummation of the MTA Transactions, the MGM Master Lease will be modified and classified as a sales-type lease.
