Debt due within one year of the December 31, 2019 balance sheet was classified as long-term as the Company had both the intent and ability to refinance current maturities on a long-term basis under its revolving credit facilities.

 

Senior credit facility. At September 30, 2020, the Company’s senior credit facility consisted of a $1.5 billion revolving facility. At September 30, 2020, $550 million was drawn on the revolving credit facility and the interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 2.75%.

 

On February 14, 2020, in connection with the MGP BREIT Venture Transaction, the Company used proceeds from the transaction to repay and terminate the $1.5 billion outstanding on its existing revolving facility in full and entered into a new unsecured credit agreement, comprised of a $1.5 billion unsecured revolving facility that matures in February 2025. As a result, the Company incurred a $4 million loss on early retirement of debt recorded in “Other, net” in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

In April 2020, the Company amended its credit facility to provide it with certain relief from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The amendment provides the Company a waiver of the financial maintenance covenants for the period beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2020 through the earlier of (x) the date the Company delivers to the administrative agent a compliance certificate with respect to the quarter ending June 30, 2021 and (y) the date the Company delivers to the administrative agent an irrevocable notice terminating the covenant relief period (such period, the “covenant relief period”). In connection with the amendment, the Company pledged the Operating Partnership units held by loan parties to the lenders as collateral. The Company also agreed to certain limitations including, among other things, further restricting its ability to incur debt and liens, make restricted payments, make investments and prepay subordinated debt. In addition, in connection with the amendment, the Company agreed to a liquidity test that requires the Company’s borrower group (as defined in the credit agreement) to maintain a minimum liquidity level of not less than $600 million (including unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and availability under the revolving credit facility), tested at the end of each month during the covenant relief period.

 

The Company’s senior credit facility contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and positive and negative covenants. The Company was in compliance with its applicable covenants at September 30, 2020.

 

Operating Partnership senior credit facility and bridge facility. At September 30, 2020, the Operating Partnership senior credit facility consisted of a $1.35 billion revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2020, $100 million was drawn on the revolving credit facility and the interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 1.85%.

 

In February 2020, in connection with the MGP BREIT Venture Transaction, the Operating Partnership amended its senior secured credit facility to, among other things, allow for the transaction to occur, permit the incurrence by the Operating Partnership of a nonrecourse guarantee relating to the debt of the MGP BREIT Venture (refer to Note 7 for description of such guarantee), and permit the incurrence of the bridge loan facility. As a result of the transaction and the amendment, the Operating Partnership repaid its $1.3 billion outstanding term loan B facility in full with the proceeds of a bridge facility, which was then assumed by the MGP BREIT Venture as partial consideration for the Operating Partnership’s contribution. Additionally, the Operating Partnership used the proceeds from the settlement of the forward equity issuances to pay off the outstanding balance of $399 million on its term loan A facility in full. As a result, the Operating Partnership incurred an $18 million loss on early retirement of debt recorded in “Other, net” in the consolidated statements of operations. The Operating Partnership was in compliance with its credit facility covenants at September 30, 2020.

 

The Operating Partnership is party to interest rate swaps to mitigate the effects of interest rate volatility inherent in its variable rate debt as well as forecasted debt issuances. As of September 30, 2020, the Operating Partnership has currently effective interest rate swap agreements on which it pays a weighted average fixed rate of 1.821% on total notional amount of $1.9 billion. The Operating Partnership has an additional $900 million total notional amount of forward starting interest rate swaps that are not currently effective. The fair value of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges was $111 million, with $10 million recorded as a current liability and $101 million recorded as a long-term liability as of September 30, 2020, and $7 million recorded as an asset and $28 million recorded as a long-term liability as of December 31, 2019. The fair value of interest rate swaps not designated as cash flow hedges was $24 million, with $20 million recorded as a current liability and $4 million recorded as a long-term liability as of September 30, 2020, and $3 million recorded as a long-term liability as of December 31, 2019, respectively. Interest rate swaps in an asset position are recorded within “Other long-term assets”, those in a current liability position are recorded within “Other accrued expenses”, and those in a long-term liability position are recorded within “Other long-term liabilities.”

    

MGM China credit facility. At September 30, 2020, the MGM China credit facility consisted of a $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2020, $654 million was drawn on the MGM China credit facility and the weighted average interest rate was 3.20%.

 

The MGM China credit facility contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and positive, negative and financial covenants, including that MGM China maintains compliance with a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. Due to the impact of COVID-19, in April 2020, MGM China entered into an amendment of its credit agreement which provided for a waiver of its maximum leverage ratio extending through the second quarter of 2021, and a waiver of its minimum interest coverage ratio from the second quarter of 2020 through the second quarter of 2021. In October 2020, MGM China further amended its credit agreement to provide for a waiver of its maximum leverage ratio and its minimum interest coverage ratio through the fourth quarter of 2021. MGM China was in compliance with its applicable MGM China credit facility covenants at September 30, 2020.

 

MGM China second credit facility. In May 2020, MGM China entered into a second credit facility, which consisted of a $300 million unsecured revolving credit facility with an option to increase the amount of the facility up to $500 million, subject to certain conditions. In June 2020, MGM China increased the amount of the second revolving credit facility by $100 million to $400 million. The MGM China second credit facility bears interest at a fluctuating rate per annum based on HIBOR plus 1.625% to 2.75%, as determined by MGM China’s leverage ratio. Draws will be subject to satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including evidence that the MGM China credit facility has been fully drawn. At September 30, 2020, no amounts were drawn on the MGM China second credit facility.

 

The MGM China second credit facility contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and positive, negative and financial covenants, including that MGM China maintains compliance with a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio beginning in the third quarter of 2021. Due to the impact of COVID-19, MGM China entered into an amendment of its second credit facility in October 2020 which provided for a waiver of its maximum leverage ratio and its minimum interest coverage ratio through the fourth quarter of 2021. MGM China was in compliance with its applicable MGM China second credit facility covenants at September 30, 2020.
