Uncasville, CT, November 19, 2013 – The Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority (the “Authority”) announced today several developments regarding its previously announced refinancing transactions.

Second Lien Tender Offer Update

The Authority announced that the early tender period with respect to its previously announced cash tender offer and consent solicitation (the “Tender Offer”) for $199,800,000 of its outstanding 11.5% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”) expired on November 18, 2013 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time (the “Early Tender Deadline”). As of the Early Tender Deadline, holders of $199,765,000, or approximately 99.98%, of the total outstanding principal amount of the 2017 Notes had tendered their notes and provided consents. The consents received exceed the amount needed to approve the proposed amendments to the March 6, 2012 indenture under which the 2017 Notes were issued (the “Indenture”). The Authority also announced that withdrawal rights with respect to the 2017 Notes tendered in the Tender Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 18, 2013.

The Authority has elected to exercise its early purchase option described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated November 4, 2013 (the “Statement”), relating to the Tender Offer. Holders of the 2017 Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their notes at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline will receive on November 19, 2013 (the “Early Payment Date”), the total consideration of $1,160.00 per $1,000 principal amount of 2017 Notes validly tendered at or before the Early Tender Deadline and accepted in the Tender Offer, which includes an early tender payment of $30.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of 2017 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date for the 2017 Notes to, but not including, the Early Payment Date.

The Tender Offer will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on December 3, 2013. Holders of 2017 Notes who validly tender their notes after the Early Tender Deadline but before the expiration of the Tender Offer will receive only the tender offer consideration of $1,130.00 per $1,000 principal amount of 2017 Notes validly tendered, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date for the 2017 Notes to, but not including, the purchase date therefor.

The Authority’s obligation to accept any 2017 Notes tendered and to pay the consideration for them is set forth solely in the Statement and related Letter of Transmittal and Consent. The Tender Offer is made only by, and pursuant to the terms of, the Statement, and the information in this press release is qualified by reference to the Statement and the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent. Subject to applicable law, the Authority may amend, extend, or, subject to certain conditions, terminate the Tender Offer.

The Old Second Lien Notes will be redeemed on December 19, 2013.

Closing of New Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On November 19, 2013, the Authority announced that it had entered into a Loan Agreement with RBS Citizens, N.A., as Administrative Agent, providing for $955 million in new senior secured credit facilities, comprised of a $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility, a $125 million senior secured term loan A facility, and a $730 million senior secured term loan B facility. The net proceeds from these facilities were used to finance the transactions described in this press release, and to repay amounts outstanding under the Authority’s Fourth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the Authority’s Loan Agreement, with Wells Fargo Gaming Capital, LLC, as Administrative Agent, which were thereupon terminated, and to pay related fees and expenses.
