Overview If we call it a baker’s dozen and make it a 13-month year—by including December 2017, a truly foundational month in VICI’s development—it was a period in which we began the forging of an institutional-quality commercial real estate company—a truly blue-chip REIT. Those steps included: • Raising $3.1 billion of equity (including $2.1 billion of public equity issued during calendar year 2018 alone, leading all American REITs in primary equity issuance during 2018); • De-leveraging over that same time period from 8.4x Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA to 4.2x Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA at year-end 2018; • Acquiring or announcing the acquisition of approximately $2.7 billion of real estate at a blended going-in cap rate of 8.3%; • Diversified our roster of best-in-class gaming operators—announcing two transactions with a new tenant and exceptional operator, Penn National Gaming; and • Increasing our annualized dividend by 9.5% after only two quarters of being a dividend-paying REIT. These were all vital steps in building a foundation of enduring value for VICI’s stockholders. Our Real Estate and Our Tenants In addition to building a foundation of enduring value for our stockholders, one of our most important objectives in 2018 was beginning to help investors answer the question “Just how good is this real estate?” The quick answer? Really good, as in institutional-quality good.

  • MGM Resorts Spinoff Sold in $17B Deal by Eli Segall and Colton Lochhead Las Vegas Review-Journal August 4, 2021 - 6:52 Am
    MGM Resorts spinoff sold in $17B deal By Eli Segall and Colton Lochhead Las Vegas Review-Journal August 4, 2021 - 6:52 am A major casino landlord is buying another in a $17 billion-plus deal, putting real estate ownership of many of Las Vegas’ biggest resorts under one company. Caesars Entertainment spinoff Vici Properties reached a deal to acquire MGM Resorts International spinoff MGM Growth Properties, the companies announced Wednesday. The transaction — valued at $17.2 billion, including the assumption of about $5.7 billion of debt — is expected to close in the first half of 2022. MGM Resorts will still operate all the properties Vici is acquiring, and the deal will not bring any changes for customers or employees at the resorts, MGM spokesman Brian Ahern said. Still, the buyout easily ranks among the biggest real estate sales the Strip has ever seen, significantly expands Vici’s already-growing portfolio on Las Vegas Boulevard, and comes as the valley’s tourism industry bounces back from the devastating spillover effects of the still-raging coronavirus pandemic. Vici CEO Ed Pitoniak said on a conference call that the deal creates the largest private owner of meeting and convention space in the country and the largest hotel owner in the U.S. as measured by rooms. He also said the Strip might be “the most economically productive single street in America.” ‘$10,000 on a bottle of vodka’ New York-based Vici’s real estate portfolio includes Caesars Palace, Harrah’s Las Vegas and Harrah’s Laughlin. MGM Growth’s holdings include the MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, The Mirage, Park MGM, Luxor, New York-New York and Excalibur.
