VOLUNTARY ANNOUCEMENT
This is a voluntary announcement made by MGM China Holdings Limited (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) in relation to the financial assistance from MGM Resorts International (“MRI”), the controlling shareholder of the Company.
The board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company announces that, on November 10, 2022, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Agreement”) with MRI, pursuant to which MRI agreed to make available a subordinated revolving loan facility (the “Facility”) in United States dollars (“USD”) in an amount of up to USD750 million. The Agreement highlights both MRI’s and the Company’s confidence in the long-term growth potential of Macau. The availability of the Facility further bolsters the Company’s already strong financial position in meeting future working capital and other funding needs. The term of the Facility is 24 months after the date of the Agreement. The interest rate on funded amounts will be the greater of 4 percent per annum and the prevailing market rate. The Board considers that the terms of the Agreement are fair and reasonable and entering into the agreement is in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
As at the date of this announcement, MRI beneficially owns approximately 56% of the issued share capital of the Company. MRI is a connected person of the Company, and the transaction contemplated under the Agreement constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”). As the Facility is conducted on normal commercial terms or better and is not secured by the assets of the Group, the Facility is fully exempted from shareholders’ approval, annual review and all disclosure requirements pursuant to Rule 14A.90 of the Listing Rules.
