Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 15, 2019, MGM China Holdings Limited (“MGM China”), an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of MGM Resorts International (the “Company”), announced that on March 14, 2019, MGM Grand Paradise Limited (“MGM Grand Paradise”), a wholly owned subsidiary of MGM China, and Sociedade de Jogos de Macau, S.A. (“SJM”) entered into a Sub-Concession Extension Contract (the “Extension Agreement”) pursuant to which the gaming sub-concession of MGM Grand Paradise, which is due to expire on March 31, 2020, would be extended to June 26, 2022. In connection with the extension, MGM Grand Paradise will pay the government of Macau MOP200 million (equivalent to approximately HK$194.17 million or US$24.73 million) as contract premium for such extension.

Pursuant to the Extension Agreement, MGM Grand Paradise is also required to provide a bank guarantee in an amount of not less than MOP820 million (equivalent to approximately HK$796.12 million or US$101.42 million) to the government of Macau within three months from the date of signing of the Extension Contract to warrant the fulfillment of labor debts upon the expiration of the Extension Contract. The Macau Government may require an increase in the amount of the guarantee, depending on the actual number of employees employed by MGM Grand Paradise.

In addition, MGM Grand Paradise also executed the MGM SJM Agreement with SJM, pursuant to which MGM Grand Paradise will pay SJM an amount of MOP20 million (equivalent to approximately HK$19.42 million or US$2.47 million) in connection of the extension of the sub-concession.
