MGM Growth Properties LLC Completes Repricing Of Term Loan B Facility

LAS VEGAS, March 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- MGM Growth Properties LLC (NYSE: MGP) (the "Company") today announced that it has successfully completed a repricing of its operating partnership's $1.8 billion term loan B facility.

The term loan B facility was repriced to bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.00%, which represents a 25 basis point reduction compared to the prior rate of LIBOR plus 2.25%.  The repricing also included certain modifications to the negative covenants and contemplates an extension of the maturity of the term loan B facility by 2 years to March 23, 2025. The facility was repriced at a price of 99.75%.  In addition, the operating partnership will receive a further reduction in pricing to LIBOR plus 1.75% upon a corporate rating upgrade by either S&P or Moody's.  All other material provisions of the existing credit facility remain unchanged.

"The Company expects to save approximately $4.5 million of annual cash interest expense with this repricing," said Andy Chien, CFO of MGM Growth Properties.  "Maintaining our strong balance sheet and continuing to improve our capital structure remains a key focus as part of our overall strategy to deliver value to our shareholders."

The effectiveness of the extension is subject to certain conditions, which are expected to occur in April 2018.
