Preliminary Prospectus Supplement
(To Prospectus Dated May 9, 2006)

 

 

Common Stock

 

On August 27, 2007, Infinity World Investments LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Dubai World, commenced a tender offer for the purchase of up to 14.2 million shares of our outstanding common stock at an offer price of $84.00 per share pursuant to an Offer to Purchase set forth in its Schedule TO, filed on August 24, 2007 and as amended on August 28, 2007. In addition, pursuant to a company stock purchase and support agreement, dated August 21, 2007, we have agreed to sell to Infinity World Investments LLC 14.2 million additional shares of our common stock at a purchase price per share equal to the price per share paid in the tender offer, subject to customary closing conditions, including, to the extent required, the receipt of regulatory approvals.

 

The company stock purchase and support agreement requires that we register under applicable securities laws the possible resale of the shares acquired by Infinity World Investments pursuant to the tender offer and the 14.2 million additional shares proposed to be purchased from us under the company stock purchase and support agreement. Therefore, we have prepared and filed this prospectus supplement for the purpose of any such resale by Infinity World Investments. We do not know when or whether, or at what price, any or all of these shares may be sold by Infinity World Investments.

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares included in this prospectus supplement.

 

Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “MGM.” On September 10, 2007 the last reported sales price for our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $82.60 per share.

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 3600 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89109. Our telephone number is (702) 693-7120.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus contain some forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They contain words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “may,” “could,” “might” and other words or phrases of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, new projects, future performance, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, and future financial results. From time to time, we also provide oral or written forward-looking statements in our Forms 10-K, Annual Reports to Stockholders, Forms 8-K, press releases and other materials we release to the public. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and in any other public statements we make may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many factors mentioned and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus — for example, government regulation and the competitive environment — will be important in determining our future results. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Our actual future results may differ materially.

 

We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. This discussion is provided as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

 

You should also be aware that while we from time to time communicate with securities analysts, we do not disclose to them any material non-public information, internal forecasts or other confidential business information. Therefore, you should not assume that we agree with any statement or report issued by any analyst, irrespective of the content of the statement or report. To the extent that reports issued by securities analysts contain projections, forecasts or opinions, those reports are not our responsibility.

 

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

Limited Liability Company Agreement of CityCenter Holdings, LLC

 

On August 21, 2007, through one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, we entered into a limited liability company agreement with Dubai World, a Dubai, United Arab Emirates government decree entity, in connection with the proposed formation of CityCenter Holdings, LLC, a limited liability company that the parties intend to form as a joint venture entity in the State of Delaware.

 

The Company and Dubai World will each own a fifty percent (50%) interest in, and will serve initially as the sole members of, the joint venture. Upon satisfaction of the standard conditions to closing, which satisfaction must occur no later than March 31, 2008 (or, under certain circumstances, June 30, 2008), we will contribute the project known as CityCenter, a mixed-use luxury residential, resort and retail complex currently being developed by us on the Las Vegas Strip and initially valued, for the purposes of the joint venture, at $5.4 billion. The initial valuation of CityCenter, and the corresponding capital contribution of Dubai World, will be adjusted based on the level of development spending and residential sales proceeds between the signing date and closing date. Dubai World will contribute $2.7 billion in cash to the joint venture, which contribution will be adjusted, on a 50% basis, in correspondence with any adjustment to the valuation of CityCenter described above. Such contribution will be distributed to us. Upon completion of the project, the valuation may be increased by up to $200 million, with Dubai World’s capital contributions and the distributions to us increasing by up to $100 million, based on development costs, residential sales proceeds, and the timing of the opening of the proposed casino-resort. In addition, we have agreed to indemnify Dubai World for certain tax liabilities resulting from the sale of residential units. Any amounts contributed by us and distributed to Dubai World with regard to this indemnification will result in a reduction of the valuation.

 

We will initially serve as the managing member of the joint venture. Furthermore, we will manage the development and operations of CityCenter pursuant to a development management agreement and an operations management agreement to be entered into with the joint venture entity.

Collective Bargaining Agreement with Culinary Workers Union Local 226

 

On August 23, 2007, we announced that we had reached an agreement for a five-year contract with the Culinary Workers Union Local 226. The new contract covers approximately 21,000 culinary staff and housekeepers who work in ten of our hotel-casinos and provides for annual wage increases and continued contributions to the union’s health and pension funds.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

Before you invest in the Company, you should be aware that investment in the Company carries various risks, including those beginning on page 12 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as supplemented on page 24 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. We urge you to carefully consider these risk factors, together with all of the other information included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus, before you decide to invest in the Company.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

On August 21, 2007, we entered into a company stock purchase and support agreement with Infinity World Investments LLC, a subsidiary of Dubai World. Under the company stock purchase and support agreement, we agreed, among other things, to issue to Infinity World Investments in a private placement 14.2 million shares of our common stock at a purchase price per share equal to the price per share paid in the tender offer by Infinity World Investments for up to an additional 14.2 million shares, which tender offer commenced on August 27, 2007. In connection with the proposed private placement and assuming a purchase price per share of $84.00, we will receive gross proceeds of approximately $1.19 billion. We intend to use the proceeds from such sale to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under our $7.0 billion senior credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

 

Under the company stock purchase and support agreement, we have agreed to file this prospectus supplement for any resale by the selling stockholder of the shares purchased in the tender offer and the shares purchased in the private placement. We will not receive any proceeds from any such resale by the selling stockholder.

 

The following table sets forth our unaudited consolidated capitalization as of June 30, 2007 on a historical basis and on an as adjusted basis to give effect to (i) the application of the proceeds from the proposed private placement, assuming that none of the proceeds will be used to pay related expenses, and (ii) the repayment upon maturity of the 6.75% senior notes due 2007 and 10.25% senior notes due 2007, in each case, using borrowings under the senior credit facility and, in each case, effectuated in August 2007.

 

 

SELLING STOCKHOLDER

 

Set forth below is information regarding the name of, and number of shares of common stock owned by, the selling stockholder. The selling stockholder has not within the past three years held any position, office or other material relationship with us. However, under the company stock purchase and support agreement, as long as the selling stockholder owns at least 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock and that certain Limited Liability Company Agreement of CityCenter Holdings, LLC (the “LLC Agreement”) is still in effect, the selling stockholder will have the right to nominate one member to our Board of Directors, and, if such percentage ownership is at least 12% and if the LLC Agreement has not been terminated, the selling stockholder will have the right to designate a number of nominees equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (1) the percentage of the outstanding shares of common stock owned by the selling stockholder and its affiliated entities multiplied by (2) the total number of directors authorized to serve on the board. Information about the selling stockholder may change over time. The selling stockholder has agreed that it will not acquire beneficial ownership of more than 20% of the total outstanding shares of our common stock, subject to certain exceptions.

 

We cannot estimate the number of shares of common stock that will be held by the selling stockholder upon termination of the offering since it is possible that it may not sell any of the shares covered by this prospectus supplement or may acquire or dispose of shares of our common stock not included in this prospectus supplement. See “Plan of Distribution.”

 

 

 

 

 

REGULATION AND LICENSING

 

The gaming industry is highly regulated, and we must maintain our licenses and pay gaming taxes to continue our operations. Each of our casinos is subject to extensive regulation under the laws, rules and regulations of the jurisdiction where it is located. These laws, rules and regulations generally concern the responsibility, financial stability and character of the owners, managers, and persons with financial interest in the gaming operations. Violations of laws in one jurisdiction could result in disciplinary action in other jurisdictions. A more detailed description of the regulations to which we are subject is contained in Exhibit 99 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2006.

 

Our businesses are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations in addition to gaming regulations. These laws and regulations include, but are not limited to, restrictions and conditions concerning alcoholic beverages, environmental matters, employees, currency transactions, taxation, zoning and building codes, and marketing and advertising. Such laws and regulations could change or could be interpreted differently in the future, or new laws and regulations could be enacted. Material changes, new laws or regulations, or material differences in interpretations by courts or governmental authorities could adversely affect our operating results.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The company stock purchase and support agreement requires that we register under applicable securities laws the possible resale by the selling stockholder of the 14.2 million shares of our common stock proposed to be purchased from us pursuant to that agreement and those shares purchased in the open market pursuant to its tender offer. Therefore, we have prepared and filed this prospectus supplement. However, we do not know when or whether any or all of the these shares may be sold. The selling stockholder is set forth above in the section “Selling Stockholder.” We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares included in this prospectus supplement. We will pay all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of this prospectus supplement, other than (a) underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, attributable to these shares and (b) all fees and expenses of the selling stockholder’s counsel. We have agreed to maintain the effectiveness of this registration statement until all of the shares covered by this prospectus supplement are resold by the selling stockholder without respect to volume limitation during any ninety day period under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

The selling stockholder may sell the shares covered by this prospectus supplement in one or more of the following transactions:

 

 

The selling stockholder may sell its shares at:

 

 

 

The selling stockholder may offer its shares of our common stock in any manner permitted by law, including to or through underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents and directly to one or more purchasers. Sales of the shares of our common stock may involve:

 

 

The selling stockholder and any broker or dealer that participates in the distribution of shares of our common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” as that term is defined in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any commissions received by such broker or dealer and profit on any resale of the shares as principal may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. In addition, such a determination may subject them to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

 

The selling stockholder may from time to time pledge the common stock owned by it to secure margin or other loans made to the selling stockholder. Thus, the person or entity receiving the pledge of any of the shares of common stock may sell them, in a foreclosure sale or otherwise, in the same manner as described above for the selling stockholder.

 

Any selling stockholder who is an affiliate also may sell all or a portion of its shares covered by this prospectus supplement in open market transactions in reliance on Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that the selling stockholder meets the criteria and conforms to the requirements of such rule. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus supplement that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be sold under Rule 144 or Rule 144A rather than pursuant to this prospectus supplement.

 

In connection with the sale of our common stock:

 

 

Persons participating in the distribution of our common stock offered by this prospectus supplement may engage in transactions that stabilize the price of the common stock. The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may apply to sales of the common stock in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders.

We have not been advised of any selling arrangement at the date of this prospectus supplement between the selling stockholder and any broker-dealer or agent. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling stockholder.

 

We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder for certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

 

LEGAL MATTERS

 

The validity of the common stock offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Christensen, Glaser, Fink, Jacobs, Weil & Shapiro, LLP, Los Angeles, California. Gary N. Jacobs, who is of counsel to Christensen, Glaser, Fink, Jacobs, Weil & Shapiro, LLP, is a member of our board of directors and is also Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of MGM MIRAGE. As of September 6, 2007, Mr. Jacobs beneficially owned an aggregate of approximately 704,420 shares of our common stock.
