(1)Carrying value is net of unamortized original issue discount and unamortized debt issuance costs incurred in conjunction with debt.
(2)Interest on any outstanding balance is payable monthly. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate based on a credit rating-based pricing grid with a range of 0.775% to 1.325% margin plus SOFR (or CDOR, as applicable) with an additional 0.10% adjustment for SOFR loans, as applicable. Additionally, the commitment fees under the Revolving Credit Facility are calculated on a credit rating-based pricing grid with a range of 0.15% to 0.375%, depending on our credit ratings. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the commitment fee for the Revolving Credit Facility was 0.250%.
(3)On January 3, 2023, we drew on the Revolving Credit Facility in the amount of C$140.0 million to fund a portion of the purchase price of the PURE Canadian Gaming Transaction. On August 31, 2023, we drew on the Revolving Credit Facility in the amount of C$75.0 million to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Century Canadian Portfolio Transaction. The balance above is inclusive of foreign currency remeasurement.
(4)Interest is payable monthly.
(5)Interest is payable semi-annually.
(6)Interest rates represent the contractual interest rates adjusted to account for the impact of the forward-starting interest rate swaps and treasury locks (as further described in Note 8 – Derivatives). The contractual interest rates on the April 2022 Notes maturing 2028, 2030 and 2032 are 4.750%, 4.950% and 5.125%, respectively.
(7)The interest rate represents the weighted average interest rates of the Senior Unsecured Notes adjusted to account for the impact of the forward-starting interest rate swaps and treasury locks (as further described in Note 8 – Derivatives), as applicable. The contractual weighted average interest rate as of September 30, 2023, which excludes the impact of the forward-starting interest rate swaps and treasury locks, is 4.49%.
(8)The Delayed Draw Term Loan was available to be drawn up to 12 months following the effective date of February 8, 2022. On February 8, 2023, the Delayed Draw Term Loan facility expired undrawn in accordance with its terms.

On September 13, 2021, we announced that the VICI Issuers commenced (i) private exchange offers to certain eligible holders (collectively, the “Exchange Offers”) for any and all of each series of the MGP OP Notes for up to an aggregate principal amount of $4.2 billion of new notes issued by the VICI Issuers and (ii) consent solicitations with respect to each series of MGP OP Notes (collectively, the “Consent Solicitations”) to adopt certain proposed amendments to each of the indentures governing the MGP OP Notes (collectively, the “MGP OP Notes Indentures”), which, among other things, eliminated or modified certain of the covenants, restrictions, provisions and events of default in each of the MGP OP Notes Indentures.

The Exchange Notes were issued with the same interest rate, maturity date and redemption terms as the corresponding series of MGP OP Notes, in each case under a supplemental indenture dated as of April 29, 2022, between the VICI Issuers and UMB Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
The Exchange Notes due 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, and 2029 are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after February 1, 2024, March 15, 2025, June 1, 2026, November 1, 2026, October 15, 2027 and November 15, 2028, respectively, at the redemption prices set forth in the respective indenture governing such Exchange Notes. We may redeem some or all of such notes prior to such respective dates at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make-whole” premium.
MGP OP Notes
Following the issuance of the Exchange Notes pursuant to the settlement of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, $25.8 million in aggregate principal amount of MGP OP Notes due 2024, $0.6 million in aggregate principal amount of MGP OP Notes due 2025, $19.5 million in aggregate principal amount of MGP OP Notes due 2026, $20.5 million in aggregate principal amount of MGP OP Notes due 2027, $0.7 million in aggregate principal amount of MGP OP Notes due 2028 and $22.9 million in aggregate principal amount of MGP OP Notes due 2029 remain outstanding.
Each series of the MGP OP Notes is redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after the same dates as set forth above with respect to the corresponding maturity series of the Exchange Notes. We may redeem some or all of such notes prior to such respective dates at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make-whole” premium.

On April 29, 2022, VICI LP, our wholly owned subsidiary, issued (i) $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.375% Senior Notes due 2025, which mature on May 15, 2025, (ii) $1,250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Notes due 2028, which mature on February 15, 2028, (iii) $1,000.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.950% Senior Notes due 2030, which mature on February 15, 2030, (iv) $1,500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes due 2032, which mature on May 15, 2032, and (v) $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2052, which mature on May 15, 2052, (collectively, the “April 2022 Notes”) in each case under a supplemental indenture dated as of April 29, 2022, between VICI LP and the Trustee.

Guarantee and Financial Covenants
None of the Senior Unsecured Notes are guaranteed by any subsidiaries of VICI LP. The Exchange Notes, the MGP OP Notes and the April 2022 Notes benefit from a pledge of the limited partnership interests of VICI LP directly owned by VICI OP (the “Limited Equity Pledge”). The Limited Equity Pledge has also been granted in favor of (i) the administrative agent and the lenders under the Credit Agreement and (ii) the trustee under the indentures governing, and the holders of, the November 2019 Notes and the February 2020 Notes.
Pursuant to the terms of the respective indentures, in the event that the November 2019 Notes, February 2020 Notes and Exchange Notes (i) are rated investment grade by at least two of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch and (ii) no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the respective indentures, VICI LP and its restricted subsidiaries will no longer be subject to certain of the restrictive covenants under such indentures. On April 18, 2022, the November 2019 Notes, February 2020 Notes and Exchange Notes were rated investment grade by each of S&P and Fitch and VICI LP notified the Trustee of such Suspension Date (as defined in the indentures). Accordingly, VICI LP and its restricted subsidiaries are no longer subject to certain of the restrictive covenants under such indentures, but are subject to a maintenance covenant requiring VICI LP and its restricted subsidiaries to maintain a certain total unencumbered assets to unsecured debt ratio. In the event that the November 2019 Notes, February 2020 Notes and Exchange Notes are no longer rated investment grade by at least two of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, then VICI LP and its restricted subsidiaries will again be subject to all of the covenants of the respective indentures, as applicable, but will no longer be subject to the maintenance covenant.
The indenture governing the April 2022 Notes contains certain covenants that limit the ability of VICI LP and its subsidiaries to incur secured and unsecured indebtedness and VICI LP to consummate a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its assets. In addition, VICI LP is required to maintain total unencumbered assets of at least 150% of total unsecured indebtedness. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.
Unsecured Credit Facilities
On February 8, 2022, VICI LP entered into the Credit Agreement providing for (i) the Revolving Credit Facility in the amount of $2.5 billion scheduled to mature on March 31, 2026 and (ii) the Delayed Draw Term Loan in the amount of $1.0 billion scheduled to mature on March 31, 2025. The Delayed Draw Term Loan was available to be drawn for up to 12 months following the effective date and, accordingly, expired undrawn in accordance with its terms on February 8, 2023.
The Revolving Credit Facility includes two six-month maturity extension options the exercise of which is subject to customary conditions and the payment of an extension fee of 0.0625% on the extended commitments. Additionally, the Revolving Credit Facility includes the option to increase the revolving loan commitments by up to $1.0 billion to the extent that any one or more lenders (from the syndicate or otherwise) agree to provide such additional credit extensions. On July 15, 2022, the Credit Agreement was amended pursuant to a First Amendment among VICI LP and the lenders party to the Credit Agreement, in order to permit borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility in certain foreign currencies in an aggregate principal amount of up to the equivalent of $1.25 billion.   
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest, at VICI LP’s option, at a rate based on SOFR (or CDOR for Canadian dollars) (including a credit spread adjustment for SOFR) plus a margin ranging from 0.775% to 1.325% or a base rate (or Canadian prime rate for Canadian dollars) plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.325%, in each case, with the actual margin determined according to VICI LP’s debt ratings. The base rate for USD is the highest of (i) the prime rate of interest last quoted by the Wall Street Journal in the U.S. then in effect, (ii) the NYFRB rate from time to time plus 0.5% and (iii) the SOFR rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.0%, subject in each case to a floor of 1.0%. The Canadian prime rate is the highest of (i) the PRIMCAN Index rate and (ii) the average rate for thirty day Canadian Dollar bankers’ acceptance quoted by Reuters plus 1.0%, subject in each case to a floor of 1.0%. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility requires the payment of a facility fee ranging from 0.15% to 0.375% (depending on VICI LP’s debt rating) of total revolving commitments.
Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, VICI LP is subject to, among other things, customary covenants and the maintenance of various financial covenants. The Credit Agreement is consistent with certain tax-related requirements related to security for the Company’s debt.
On January 3, 2023, we drew on the Revolving Credit Facility in the amount of C$140.0 million (approximately US$103.4 million based on the exchange rate at the time of the acquisition) to fund a portion of the purchase price of the PURE Canadian Gaming Transaction. On August 31, 2023, we drew on the Revolving Credit Facility in the amount of C$75.0 million
(approximately US$55.0 million based on the exchange rate at the time of the acquisition) to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Century Canadian Portfolio Transaction.
MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay CMBS Debt
On January 9, 2023, as a result of the MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay JV Interest Acquisition, we consolidated the assets and liabilities of the MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay JV, which includes the $3.0 billion in principal amount of outstanding CMBS debt (the “MGM Grand/ Mandalay Bay CMBS Debt”). The MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay CMBS Debt was originally incurred on February 14, 2020 pursuant to a loan agreement (as amended from time to time, the “MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay CMBS Loan Agreement”), and is secured primarily by mortgages on certain affiliates of the MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay JV’s fee interest in the real estate assets related to the MGM Grand Las Vegas and the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. The MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay CMBS Debt matures in March 2032 and bears interest at 3.558% per annum until March 2030 at which time the rate can change in accordance with the terms of the MGM Grand Mandalay Bay CMBS Loan Agreement until maturity. The MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay CMBS Loan Agreement contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including, among other things, restrictions on the ability of the MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay JV and certain of its affiliates to incur additional debt and transfer, pledge or assign certain equity interests or its assets, and covenants requiring certain affiliates of the MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay JV to exist as “special purpose entities,” maintain certain ongoing reserve funds and comply with other customary obligations for commercial mortgage-backed securities loan financings.
Bridge Facilities
On March 2, 2021 and August 4, 2021, in connection with the completion of the Venetian Acquisition and MGP Transactions, respectively, VICI PropCo entered into Commitment Letters with certain lenders pursuant to which they provided commitments in an amount up to $4.0 billion and $9.3 billion, respectively, in the aggregate, each consisting of a 364-day first lien secured bridge facility (the “Venetian Acquisition Bridge Facility” and the “MGP Transactions Bridge Facility,” respectively), for the purpose of providing a portion of the financing necessary in connection with the closing of the Venetian Acquisition and MGP Transactions, as applicable. In each case the commitments were subject to a tiered commitment fee based on the period the respective commitment was outstanding and a structuring fee. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $16.3 million in such fees, which were recorded in Interest expense in our Statement of Operations. We did not recognize any such fees during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, since the Venetian Acquisition Bridge Facility and MGP Transactions Bridge Facility were fully terminated on February 23, 2022 and April 29, 2022, respectively, in connection with such closings.
Financial Covenants
As described above, our debt obligations are subject to certain customary financial and protective covenants that restrict VICI LP, VICI PropCo and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional debt, sell certain asset and restrict certain payments, among other things. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications, including the ability to make restricted payments to maintain our REIT status. At September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our debt obligations.
