The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X in order to give effect to the MTA Transactions and other transactions as described below and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect to the MTA Transactions and the Venetian Acquisition as if such transactions had been completed as of September 30, 2021, as the MTA Transactions and the Venetian Acquisition were not reflected in the balance sheet as of September 30, 2021. The Recently Completed Transactions (as defined below) are excluded from the adjustments to the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as such adjustments are already reflected in the historical balance sheet as of September 30, 2021.

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 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 $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 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

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 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 asset balance and Deferred revenue balance.

 

   

The recognition of the MGM Master Lease at fair value of the underlying assets, including the reclassification of 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. Further, since MGM controlled and consolidated MGP prior to the MTA Transactions, the lease will be assessed under the sale-leaseback guidance and determined to be a failed sale-leaseback under which the lease will be accounted for as a financing receivable under ASC 310.

 

   

The Investment in leases - financing receivable is net of an estimated $228.8 million of allowance for credit losses recognized on the investment balance, as required under ASC 326—Credit Losses.

 

   

The recognition of the Investment in unconsolidated affiliate for the BREIT JV at fair value.

 

13


Venetian Acquisition

 

   

The Venetian Acquisition, which is accounted for as a sales-type lease under ASC 842—Leases, inclusive of an estimated $14.0 million of capitalized initial direct costs. The investment is net of an estimated $110.3 million of allowance for credit losses recognized on the investment balance as required under ASC 326—Credit Losses.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

  (b)

Represents the cash used to pay for the acquisition of MGM Springfield by MGP, a portion of the transaction costs associated with the MTA Transactions, including debt extinguishment costs, interest rate swap termination fees, bridge commitment fees, third-party advisory and legal fees, closing costs and transfer taxes, and the cash used to pay for a portion of the purchase price of the Venetian Acquisition.

Other Assets

     (26,756
  

 

 

 

Total Pro Forma Adjustments

   $ 75,714  
  

 

 

 

 

  (1)

Upon closing of the MTA Transactions, we will assume the MGP ground leases at Beau Rivage, Borgata and MGM National Harbor. We expect to reassess the classifications of these leases and determine them to be sales-type sub-leases and accordingly adjusted the balance to remove the prior operating lease balance and replace it with sales-type sub-lease assets balance. The sales-type sub-lease is net of an estimated $6.7 million of allowance for credit losses recognized on the investment balance, as required under ASC 326—Credit Losses.

Debt, net

 

  (d)

Represents the pro forma adjustments to Debt, net as follows:

 

(In Thousands)

The incurrence of $4,404.0 million of long-term debt to finance the redemption of the Redeemed Units, net of an estimated $56.6 million of deferred financing costs that we anticipate incurring in connection with the financing.

  (2)

The incurrence of $600.0 million of long-term debt financing used to finance a portion of the purchase price of the Venetian Acquisition, net of an estimated $8.0 million of deferred financing costs that we anticipate incurring in connection with the financing.

Subsequent to the MTA Transactions and Venetian Acquisition, we anticipate VICI will have $13,954.0 million in principal amount of consolidated unsecured notes outstanding and $1,503.0 million principal amount of unconsolidated CMBS debt, representing our share of the debt at the BREIT JV, resulting in 90% of our pro forma debt being unsecured and 10% of our pro forma debt secured. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain long-term debt financing on the terms described herein, including those with respect to maturity or interest rate, or at all, especially if market or economic conditions change after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. See paragraph (ee) to Note 5—Statement of Operations Pro Forma Adjustments below. To the extent we are unable to obtain the long-term debt financing as contemplated above, we intend to borrow a similar amount under the MGP Acquisition Bridge Facility, Venetian Acquisition Bridge Facility and/or our Revolving Credit Facility, as the case may be. Under the MGP Acquisition Bridge Facility we can borrow up to $5,008.0 million (following the termination of $4,242.0 million in committed financing representing the second tranche of the MGP Acquisition Bridge Facility in accordance with the terms of the related commitment letter), under the Venetian Acquisition Bridge Facility we can borrow up to $2,110.0 million, and under our Revolving Credit Facility we can borrow up to $1,000.0 million.
