Other Events.

On September 5, 2017, MGM Resorts International (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors has approved a new $1.0 billion share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, purchase shares of its common stock. The Share Repurchase Program will terminate when the aggregate cost of shares repurchased under the program reaches $1.0 billion. Share repurchases may be executed through various means, including, without limitation, open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to purchase any shares. The authorization for the Share Repurchase Program may be terminated, increased or decreased by the Company’s Board of Directors in its discretion at any time. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
