Underwriting Agreement
On
January 31, 2019, MGM Growth Properties LLC (the "Company") completed an offering of 19,550,000 Class A shares representing limited liability company interests (the "Class A shares") in a registered public
offering (the "Offering"), including 2,550,000 Class A shares sold pursuant to the exercise in full by the underwriters of their over-allotment option, for net proceeds of approximately $548.3 million after deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.
The Offering was made pursuant to an effective registration statement on
Form S-3
(File
No. 333-218090)
(the "Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), on May 18, 2017, a base prospectus dated May 18, 2017, a preliminary prospectus supplement dated January 28, 2019 filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act, and a prospectus supplement dated January 28, 2019 (the "Prospectus Supplement") filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) under the Securities Act.
The Company plans to use the net proceeds of the Offering in part to repay revolver draws, with the balance for general corporate purposes,
including the acquisition of real property associated with Empire City Casino's race track and casino (the "Empire City Transaction") from MGM Resorts International ("MGM") and payment of consideration to MGM for renovations
undertaken by MGM regarding the Park MGM and NoMad Las Vegas property (the "Park MGM Lease Transaction").
The Empire City
Transaction closed on January 29, 2019 and the Park MGM Lease Transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2019, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") among the
Company, MGM Growth Properties Operating Partnership LP (the "Operating Partnership"), and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as
representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the "Underwriters"). Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company, its directors, executive officers and certain existing holders of operating partnership units
agreed not to sell or transfer any Class A shares held by them for 45 days after January 28, 2019 without first obtaining the written consent of the Underwriters, subject to certain exceptions as described in the Prospectus
Supplement.
The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto. The Underwriting Agreement is also incorporated by reference into the Company's Registration Statement.
The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of the Underwriting
Agreement and as of the specific date (or dates) set forth therein, and were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Underwriting Agreement and are subject to certain limitations as agreed upon by the contracting parties. In addition, the
representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party
beneficiaries of the Underwriting Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants contained therein, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of the Company.
Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Underwriting Agreement, which subsequent developments may not be fully reflected in the Company's public disclosure.
Private Placement of Operating Partnership Units
In connection with the Offering, pursuant to the Operating Partnership's Second Amended
and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, the Operating Partnership issued 19,550,000 units to the Company in a private placement in exchange for $548.3 million (representing the net proceeds from the Offering). The Operating Partnership
units are exchangeable into the Company's Class A shares on a
one-to-one
basis or cash at the fair value of a Class A share. The determination of
settlement method is at the option of the Company's independent conflicts committee.
The Operating Partnership units issued to the
Company have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities law and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to any U.S. persons absent registration under the Securities Act, or pursuant to an applicable exemption
from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Operating Partnership offered and sold the units to the Company in reliance upon the exemption from registration
provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder based on the Company's status as an accredited investor, as defined in the Securities Act. The Operating Partnership is a subsidiary of the Company.
Opinion
The
legal opinion of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP regarding the validity of the Class A shares sold in the Offering is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on
