MGM China Holdings has announced a refinancing deal worth $3.02 billion with an unnamed group of lenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an official announcement<\/a>, MGM China said it would use the deal, a revolving credit facility, to refinance two existing revolving credit facilities and for \u201cgeneral corporate purposes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The new facility will take effect on April 22 and will mature in 60 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the investors appear to have insisted that the US-based MGM Resorts International retains ownership of MGM China. A clause in the deal states that the investment must be repaid if the US firm\u2019s ownership of the Macau casino operator drops below 50%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The deal comes after media reports in February claimed MGM China was looking to secure a $2 billion syndicated loan. Bloomberg quoted<\/a> unnamed sources close to the deal as stating that the casino operator was speaking to over a dozen banks about a five-year agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MGM China announced its first revolving credit facility, worth HKD 9.75 billion (around $1.25 billion), in August 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The firm later agreed to extensions on this deal, which would mature in May next year. It later agreed on a second revolving credit facility of HKD 2.34 billion ($301.74 million). MGM China later increased the size of this facility to $402 million. The maturity date was also set to May 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, MGM China explained that the latest refinancing package will see the amounts due under the existing credit facilities repaid in full. \u201cTotal commitments thereof will be cancelled,\u201d it wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MGM China explained that the deal also includes an accordion option clause. This could potentially allow the borrower to increase its line of credit with its lenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The firm wrote: \u201cThe 2025 revolving credit facility will bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum based on the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate, plus a margin (in the range of 1.625% to 2.75%), which will be determined by MGM China\u2019s leverage ratio.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n MGM opened its first Macau casino resort, the 600-room MGM Macau, in December 2007. The doors to MGM China\u2019s second and largest venue, the MGM Cotai, opened in February 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MGM Resorts retains around 56% of the company\u2019s issued shares. The firm successfully launched an initial public offering on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on June 3, 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Last year, MGM China\u2019s 14% year-on-year growth rates saw MGM Resorts post record net revenues for Q3 of FY2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMGM China: Details of Refinancing Deal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
