Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously announced, on September 10, 2014, the New Jersey Casino Control Commission (“CCC”) approved the request by MGM Resorts International (the “Company”) for licensure in the State of New Jersey. In connection with such approval, the CCC agreed, subject to final approval by the Chairman of the CCC, to terminate the Stipulation of Settlement entered into on March 11, 2010, among the Company, Marina District Development Company, LLC and the State of New Jersey, Department of Law and Public Safety, Division of Gaming Enforcement (as amended to date, the “Stipulation of Settlement”) and dissolve and terminate the divestiture trust. The Stipulation of Settlement, which required the Company to place into a divestiture trust its 50% ownership interest in the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa and its title to certain leased real property in Atlantic City and related leases, was terminated effective upon such approval by the Chairman of the CCC on September 29, 2014. In connection with the dissolution of the trust on September 30, 2014, all of the trust property, including approximately $83 million of cash, was transferred to the Company.
