NOTE 11 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

MGP

 

As further described in Note 1, pursuant to the master lease with MGP, the Company leases the real estate assets of The Mirage, Luxor, New York-New York, Park MGM, Excalibur, The Park, Gold Strike Tunica, MGM Grand Detroit, Beau Rivage, Borgata, Empire City, MGM National Harbor and MGM Northfield Park from MGP.

 

On February 14, 2020, the Company amended the MGP master lease to remove Mandalay Bay from such master lease and the annual rent under the MGP master lease was reduced by $133 million to $813 million.

 

The annual rent payments under the MGP master lease for the fifth lease year, which commenced on April 1, 2020, increased to $828 million from $813 million, as a result of the fourth 2.0% fixed annual rent escalator that went into effect on April 1, 2020.

 

Additionally, refer to Note 1 for discussion relating to the waiver agreement with MGP and the Operating Partnership units redeemed thereunder.

 

All intercompany transactions, including transactions under the MGP master lease, have been eliminated in the Company’s consolidation of MGP. The public ownership of MGP’s Class A shares is recognized as noncontrolling interests in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
