LAS VEGAS, April 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) announced today that the requisite holders of its 10.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2014 and 11.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (collectively, the "Notes") had consented to the amendment of the definition of "Change of Control" in the indenture governing the Notes.   As a result of the amendment, the failure of Tracinda Corporation and its affiliates to collectively own more than 15% of the Company's common stock would not constitute a "Change of Control" under the indenture or require an offer by the Company to repurchase the Notes for 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The consent solicitation expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 19, 2012 and the Company received valid consents in respect of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes voting as a single class (excluding Notes owned by the Company or any affiliate of the Company). Accordingly, the Company entered into a supplemental indenture reflecting the amendment described above.  The Company will settle today the consent payment with respect to the Notes for which consents have been delivered and accepted in the consent solicitation.
