Litigation. The Company is a party to various legal proceedings, most of which relate to routine matters incidental to its business. Management does not believe that the outcome of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Other guarantees. The Company and its subsidiaries are party to various guarantee contracts in the normal course of business, which are generally supported by letters of credit issued by financial institutions. The Company’s senior credit facility limits the amount of letters of credit that can be issued to $1.35 billion. At September 30, 2022, $33 million in letters of credit were outstanding under the Company’s senior credit facility. The amount of available borrowings under the credit facility is reduced by any outstanding letters of credit.

In May 2019, in connection with the extension of the term of its gaming subconcession to June 2022, MGM Grand Paradise provided a bank guarantee to the government of Macau in the amount of MOP 820 million (approximately $101 million as of September 30, 2022) to warrant the fulfillment of an existing commitment of labor liabilities upon expiration of the gaming subconcession. In September 2022, in connection with the June 2022 extension of the term of its gaming subconcession to December 31, 2022, MGM Grand Paradise increased its bank guarantee to the government of Macau to the amount of MOP 880 million (approximately $109 million as of September 30, 2022).

Bellagio BREIT Venture shortfall guarantee. The Company provides a shortfall guarantee of the $3.01 billion principal amount of indebtedness (and any interest accrued and unpaid thereon) of Bellagio BREIT Venture, which matures in 2029. The terms of the shortfall guarantee provide that after the lenders have exhausted certain remedies to collect on the obligations under the indebtedness, the Company would then be responsible for any shortfall between the value of the collateral, which is the real estate assets of Bellagio owned by Bellagio BREIT Venture, and the debt obligation. This guarantee is accounted for under ASC 460 at fair value; such value is immaterial.
