The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of VICI present the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. 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 MGP 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 MGP Transactions and the Venetian Acquisition as if such transactions had been completed as of December 31, 2021, as the MGP Transactions and the Venetian Acquisition were not reflected in the historical balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. The Financing Transactions, as defined below, are excluded from the adjustments to the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, as such adjustments are either (i) already reflected in the historical balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, in the case of the Term Loan B Facility Repayment and Interest Rate Swap Settlement, each as defined below or (ii) do not have a material reporting impact on the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, in the case of the entry into the New Unsecured Credit Agreement, as defined below. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations gives effect to (i) the MGP Transactions, (ii) the Venetian Acquisition and (iii) the Financing Transactions as if each such transaction had been completed on January 1, 2021.

We refer to the Term Loan B Facility Repayment and the Interest Rate Swap Settlement and the entry into the New Unsecured Credit Agreement, collectively, as the “Financing Transactions.”

Pro forma adjustments 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 MGP Transactions 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 (i) our incurrence of $4,404.0 million of long-term debt to finance the Partial Redemption of the Redeemed Units and (ii) the net settlement of the VICI forward-starting 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, 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, 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 MGP 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 $11,147.2 million. The calculation of the estimated preliminary purchase price related to the MGP Transactions is as follows:

 

(In Thousands)

   Amount  

REIT Merger Consideration (1)

   $ 6,243,711  

Redemption Consideration (2)

     4,404,000  

MGP OP Unit rollover for MGM (3)

     355,811  

Estimated transaction costs (4)

     143,650  
  

 

 

 

Total consideration to be transferred

   $  11,147,172  
  

 

 

 

 

(1)

Amount is based on the conversion of the outstanding MGP Class A Common Shares as of December 31, 2021, including the current estimate of shares underlying the MGP equity incentive award units, into shares of VICI Common Stock representing the REIT Merger Consideration as follows:

 

($ in Thousands)

   Amount  

MGP Class A Common Shares

     156,750,325  

MGP equity incentive award units

     375,786  

Total MGP shares to be converted to VICI Common Stock

     157,126,111  

Exchange Ratio

     1.366  

REIT Merger Consideration Stock Issuance

     214,634,268  

 

(2)

Represents the cash consideration for the Redeemed Units.

(3)

Retention of MGP OP Units by MGM converted into 12,231,373 VICI OP Units at a value of $29.09 per unit, representing the value of VICI Common Stock as of April 14, 2022.

(4)

The MGP 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 MGP 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 MGP 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 $660.0 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 MGP 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 since December 31, 2021. 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 December 31, 2021:

Amount is adjusted to include the proceeds from the net settlement of the MGP interest swaps on March 18, 2022, for net proceeds of $10.5 million. Refer to Note 4 (f) below.

(2)

Amount includes $50.0 million of debt outstanding under the MGP revolving credit facility which will be repaid in full upon consummation of the MGP Transactions. Refer to Note 4 (d) below.

(3)

Amount excludes the fair value of the MGP interest rate swaps as such swaps were net settled on March 18, 2022 as noted above.

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 MGP Transactions and will be completed after the MGP 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 VICI and its subsidiaries following the MGP 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 MGP 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 the 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 MGP 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 MGP 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 receivables, net is net of an estimated $431.0 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.

Venetian Acquisition

The investment is net of an estimated $65.6 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 a portion of the transaction costs associated with the MGP Transactions, including 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.

(1)

Upon closing of the MGP Transactions, we will assume the MGP ground leases at Beau Rivage, Borgata and MGM National Harbor. Although the cost of these leases are passed on to the tenant under the MGM Master Lease, we are the primary obligor under the leases and accordingly such leases are presented gross on our balance sheet and statement of operations. Upon assumption we will reassess the lease classifications and expect them to classified as sales-type sub-leases. Accordingly, we have made adjustments 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 $11.6 million of allowance for credit losses recognized on the investment balance, as required under ASC 326—Credit Losses.

(2)

Upon closing of the Venetian Acquisition, we assumed certain leases from Las Vegas Sands Corp. (“LVS”) in which we became the lessee and intermediate lessor. Although the cost of these leases are passed on to the tenant under the Venetian Lease, we determined that we are the primary obligor under the leases and accordingly such leases are presented gross on our balance sheet and statement of operations. The sales-type sub-leases are net of an estimated $2.2 million of allowance for credit losses recognized on the investment balance, as required under ASC 326—Credit Losses.

The incurrence of $4,404.0 million of long-term debt to finance the redemption of the Redeemed Units, net of an estimated $37.5 million of deferred financing costs that we anticipate incurring in connection with the financing.

(2)

In connection with the closing of the Venetian Acquisition, on February 18, 2022, we executed an initial draw of $600.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Venetian Acquisition.

Subsequent to the MGP Transactions, 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 in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, we intend to borrow a similar amount under the MGP Acquisition Bridge Facility, Delayed Draw Term Loan and/or 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 Tranche 2 of the MGP Acquisition Bridge Facility in accordance with the terms of the related commitment letter), under our Delayed Draw Term Loan we can borrow up to $1,000.0 million and under our Revolving Credit Facility we can borrow up to $1,900.0 million (net of the $600 million we borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility on February 18, 2022 to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Venetian Acquisition).

Other Income

 

  (bb)

Represents pro forma adjustments to Other income as follows:

The MGP Transactions

 

   

Upon closing of the MGP Transactions, we will assume the MGP ground leases at Beau Rivage, Borgata and MGM National Harbor in which we will become the lessee and intermediate lessor.

All payments under the ground leases are paid directly by our tenant to the landlord; however, we are required to present such payments on a gross basis under the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

The Venetian Acquisition

 

   

Upon closing of the Venetian Acquisition, we assumed certain leases from LVS in which we became the lessee and intermediate lessor. We determined that we are the primary obligor under the leases and, accordingly, such leases are presented gross on our balance sheet and statement of operations. All payments under the leases are paid directly by our tenant to the landlord; however, we are required to present such payments on a gross basis under GAAP.

Operating Expenses

 

  (cc)

Represents the pro forma adjustments to operating expenses as follows:

The MGP Transactions

 

   

Elimination of the historical property depreciation for the properties under the MGM Master Lease. Since the MGM Master Lease is determined to be an investment in lease—financing receivable, no depreciation is recognized for pro forma purposes.

 

   

The amount of allowance for credit losses recognized on the initial investment balances for the MGM Master Lease, as required under ASC 326—Credit Losses.

 

   

Reassessment of the classification of the MGP ground leases at Beau Rivage, Borgata and MGM National Harbor as noted in (bb) above.

The pro forma General and administrative expenses are not reflective of expected synergies subsequent to the MGP Transactions. The Transaction and acquisition expenses related to the MGP Transactions are not expected to recur in the future.

(1)

Estimated increase in interest expense for the incurrence of $4,404.0 million of long-term debt financing to finance the redemption of the Redeemed Units, and related fees and expenses. For purposes of the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations, we have assumed that the $4,404.0 million of long-term debt has a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.85%, plus the amortization of estimated debt issuance costs. A $100.0 million increase or decrease in the long-term debt amount at the assumed interest rate would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. A one-eighth of a percentage point increase or decrease in the weighted average fixed interest rate of the $4,404.0 million of long-term debt would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

(2)

We have entered into five forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with a combined notional amount of $2,500.0 million and two US Treasury Rate lock agreements with a combined notional amount of $500.0 million to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates from the trade date through the forecasted issuance date of the long-term debt associated with the MGP Transactions. The forward-starting interest rate swaps and US Treasury Rate locks were designated as cash-flow hedges and, accordingly, upon the incurrence of the $4,404.0 million of long-term debt financing associated with the MGP Transactions, we will settle the forward-starting interest rate swap agreements and the fair value at settlement that is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the interest rate swap or US Treasury Rate lock, which matches that of the hedged long-term debt. As of April 14, 2022 our forward-starting interest rate swaps were in a fair value asset position of $193.4 million, which will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the interest rate swap which matches that of the hedged long-term debt.

(3)

Estimated increase in interest expense for the $600.0 million of debt outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility used to finance a portion of the purchase price of the Venetian Acquisition. For purposes of the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations, we have assumed that the $600.0 million of debt outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility has a variable interest rate of 1.95%, using the one-month CME Term SOFR reference rate of 0.52% as of April 14, 2022. A one-eighth of a percentage point increase or decrease in the one-month SOFR rate would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain long-term debt financing on the terms described above, 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 (d) to Note 4—Balance Sheet Pro Forma Adjustments above. 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, Delayed Draw Term Loan and/or our Revolving Credit Facility, as the case may be, and our interest expense may be greater than assumed in the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations.
