MOHEGAN VENTURES WISCONSIN, LLC (MENOMINEE PROJECT):
In March 2007, the Authority formed MVW as its wholly-owned subsidiary and one of two original members in WTG, which was formed to participate in the Menominee Project, a proposed casino to be owned by the Menominee Tribe and to be located in Kenosha, Wisconsin. MVW now holds 100% membership interest in WTG. MVW and WTG are full and unconditional guarantors of the Authority’s outstanding indebtedness.
In connection with the Menominee Project, the Authority entered into a management agreement with the Menominee Tribe and the Menominee Kenosha Gaming Authority (the “MKGA”), and WTG purchased the development rights for the Menominee Project under a development agreement with the Menominee Tribe and the MKGA. In September 2010, WTG entered into a release and reimbursement agreement pursuant to which WTG: (1) relinquished its development rights and was relieved of its development obligations for the Menominee Project, (2) retained its rights to reimbursement of certain receivables related to reimbursable costs and expenses advanced by WTG on behalf of the Menominee Tribe for the Menominee Project, subject to certain conditions and (3) assigned the option to purchase the proposed Menominee Project site in Kenosha to MKGA. The Authority retained its interest in the management agreement. Due to the uncertainty in the development of the Menominee Project, as of September 30, 2008, the Authority fully reserved for these receivables and wrote-off the related development rights intangible asset. In February 2012, the MKGA terminated its efforts to seek NIGC approval of the management agreement. As of September 30, 2014, the WTG receivables remain fully reserved.
