Item 1A. Risk Factors
143 rewritten, 89 added, 210 removed, 362 unchanged
[removed: In evaluating us, you should consider carefully, among other things, the risks described below.* *The] [added: The] risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face, but do represent those risks and uncertainties that we believe are material to us.
We are and will always be significantly dependent on our tenants for [added: substantially all of] our revenues.
Because the leases are triple-net leases, in addition to the rent payment obligations for these tenants, we [removed: will] depend on these tenants to pay substantially all insurance, taxes, utilities and maintenance and repair expenses in connection with these leased properties and to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless from and against various claims, litigation and liabilities arising in connection with their businesses.
If income at these properties were to decline for any reason, [removed: including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,] or if a tenant’s debt service requirements were to increase or if their creditworthiness were to become impaired for any reason, a tenant or the applicable guarantor may become unable or unwilling to satisfy its payment and other obligations under their leases or other agreements with us.
Due to our dependence on rental and other payments from our significant tenants as our primary source of revenue, we may be limited in our ability to enforce our rights under our [removed: leases] [added: Lease Agreements] or other agreements with our significant tenants or terminate such [added: other agreements or, due to our predominantly master lease structure, certain leases with respect to any particular property.]
Failure by our significant tenants to comply with the terms of their respective leases or to comply with the gaming regulations to which the leased properties are subject could result in, among other things, the termination of an applicable [removed: ground lease,] [added: Lease Agreement,] requiring us to find another tenant for such property, to the extent possible, [removed: and there could be] [added: or] a decrease or cessation of rental payments by such tenants, as the case may be.
Our properties on the Las Vegas Strip generated approximately [removed: 32%] [added: 45%] of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2021 (and subsequent to the Venetian Acquisition and MGP Transactions, are expected to generate approximately 45% of our total estimated annualized cash rent)] [added: 2022] and we expect this concentration to continue in the foreseeable future.
For example, the cost and availability of air services and the impact of any events that disrupt air travel to and from Las [removed: Vegas, including the impact of measures implemented to address the COVID-19 pandemic,] [added: Vegas] can adversely affect the business of our tenants.
We cannot control the number or frequency of flights to or from Las Vegas, but our [added: two] largest [removed: tenant, Caesars, relies] [added: tenants (Caesars and MGM) rely] on air traffic for a significant portion of their visitors to these [added: properties and any reductions in flights to Las Vegas may impact the number of visitors to our] properties.
Moreover, due to the importance of our [removed: three properties (and, following the completion of the pending MGP Transactions,] ten [removed: properties)] [added: properties] on the Las Vegas Strip, we may be disproportionately affected by general risks such as acts of terrorism, natural disasters, including major fires, floods and earthquakes, [removed: and] severe or inclement weather, [removed: including as a result of] [added: and] climate [removed: change,] [added: change impacts, including heat stress, water stress, and drought,] should such developments occur in or [removed: nearby] [added: nearby, or otherwise impact,] Las Vegas.
In addition, a material adverse impact on Caesars [removed: (and, following the completion of the pending MGP Transactions, MGM),] [added: and/or MGM,] even unrelated to their operations in Las Vegas, that negatively affects their financial condition, could materially and adversely affect us, given our reliance on their performance as tenants in our properties on the Las Vegas Strip.
[removed: Our significant] [added: Our] tenants and their subsidiaries are required to pay a significant portion of their cash flow from operations to us pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, our respective Lease Agreements and loan and other agreements with [removed: them, as well as interest payments on their outstanding indebtedness, which could adversely affect our significant tenants’ business and operating condition, as well as their ability to satisfy their contractual payment obligations to us.][added: them.]
In addition, annual rent escalations under our Lease Agreements over specified periods will [added: generally] continue to apply regardless of the amount of cash flows generated by the properties that are subject to such Lease Agreements.
Through our Partner Property Growth Fund, we may [removed: also] agree with our tenants to fund capital improvements in exchange for increased rent under the applicable Lease Agreement, which would increase the amount of such tenant’s rent obligations to us in accordance with the terms of the funding.
See [Item [removed: 1](#icabc55744e2c4d6ab7337d22602533b7_13) [](#icabc55744e2c4d6ab7337d22602533b7_13)[“Business-Our] [added: 1 “Business-Our] Lease [removed: Agreement](#icabc55744e2c4d6ab7337d22602533b7_13)[s](#icabc55744e2c4d6ab7337d22602533b7_13)[”](#icabc55744e2c4d6ab7337d22602533b7_13)] [added: Agreements”](#i0ec8509054d64d8282fb5b2fcc89907c_13)] and [Item [removed: 1](#icabc55744e2c4d6ab7337d22602533b7_13) [](#icabc55744e2c4d6ab7337d22602533b7_13)[“Business-Our] [added: 1 “Business-Our] Relationship with [removed: Caesars](#icabc55744e2c4d6ab7337d22602533b7_13)[”](#icabc55744e2c4d6ab7337d22602533b7_13)] [added: Caesars and MGM”](#i0ec8509054d64d8282fb5b2fcc89907c_13)] for additional information regarding such agreements.
In addition, our [removed: significant] tenants’ indebtedness and the fact that a significant portion of their cash flow may be used to make interest payments could adversely affect their ability to satisfy their obligations to us under the applicable Lease Agreements and other agreements.
We are dependent on the gaming industry and may be susceptible to the risks associated with it, including [removed: due to the impact] [added: changes in consumer behavior and discretionary spending as a result] of [removed: the COVID-19 pandemic,] [added: an economic slowdown, increased inflation, rising interest rates, or otherwise,] which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects.
Therefore, so long as our investments are concentrated in gaming-related assets, our success is dependent on the gaming industry, which could be adversely affected by economic conditions in general, changes in consumer trends and preferences and other factors over which we and our tenants have no control, including the [removed: ongoing effects of the] COVID-19 [removed: pandemic, such as] [added: pandemic and other similar health crises,] labor shortages, travel restrictions, supply chain disruptions and property closures.
As we are subject to risks inherent in substantial investments in a single industry, a decrease in the gaming business would likely have a greater adverse effect on us than if we owned a more diversified real estate portfolio, particularly [removed: because] [added: because, among other things,] a component of the rent under [added: certain of] the Lease Agreements will be based, over time, on the performance of the gaming facilities operated by our tenants on our properties and such effect could be material and adverse to our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects.
[removed: Recently,] [added: In recent years,] there has been additional significant competition in the gaming industry as a result [removed: of] [added: of, among other things,] the upgrading or expansion of facilities by existing market participants, the entrance of new gaming participants into a market, [added: increased] internet gaming [added: and sports betting] or legislative changes in various jurisdictions.
[removed: Additionally, decreases] [added: Decreases] in discretionary [removed: consumer] spending [removed: brought about by] [added: or changing consumer preferences and] weakened general economic conditions such as, but not limited to, [removed: the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic,] [added: recessions,] lackluster recoveries from recessions, contractions, high unemployment levels, higher income taxes, inflation, low levels of consumer confidence, weakness in the housing market, cultural and demographic [removed: changes] [added: changes, instability in global, national] and [added: regional economic activity and] increased stock market volatility [added: have historically resulted in long-term material adverse effects on leisure and business travel, discretionary spending and other areas of economic behavior that directly impact the gaming industry and, as a result,] may negatively impact our revenues and operating cash flows.
Because we are dependent on the gaming industry, the immediate and long-term effects of the [removed: COVID-19 pandemic] [added: foregoing] on the gaming industry could be material and adverse to our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects.
Gaming [added: regulatory] authorities also retain great discretion to require us to be found suitable as a landlord, and certain of our stockholders, officers and directors may be required to be found suitable as well.
[removed: Regulatory] [added: Gaming regulatory] authorities also have broad powers with respect to the licensing of casino operations, and may revoke, suspend, condition or limit the gaming or other licenses of our tenants, impose substantial fines or take other actions, any one of which could adversely impact the business, financial condition and results of operations of our tenants.
The loss of gaming licenses by our tenants could result [removed: in] [added: in, among other things,] the cessation of operations at one or more of the facilities we lease to such tenants.
The loss of gaming licenses by us could result [removed: in] [added: in, among other things,] an event of default under certain of our indebtedness, and cross-default provisions in our debt agreements could cause an event of default under one debt agreement to trigger an event of default under our other debt agreements.
Finally, substantially all material loans, significant acquisitions, leases, sales of securities and similar financing transactions by us and our subsidiaries must be reported to, and in some cases approved by, gaming authorities in advance of the [removed: transaction,][added: transaction.]
Required regulatory approvals can delay or prohibit transfers of our gaming properties or the consummation of [removed: other pending transactions, including consummation] [added: transactions (including pursuant to our put-call and right] of [removed: the Mergers,] [added: first refusal agreements),] which could result in periods in which we are unable to receive rent [removed: for such properties] [added: related to,] or otherwise realize the benefits [removed: of] [added: of,] such transactions, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects.
In addition, given the highly regulated nature of the gaming industry, any future transactions we enter into [added: (including pursuant to our put-call and right of first refusal agreements)] are likely to be subject to regulatory approval in one or more jurisdictions, including with respect to any transfers in ownership, operating licensure or other regulatory considerations.
If the consummation of a [removed: pending] transaction (including with respect to the future entry into a new lease [removed: agreement), such as the consummation of the Mergers,] [added: agreement)] is delayed or prohibited by regulatory authorities, we may be limited or otherwise unable to realize the benefits of the proposed transaction.
Furthermore, consistent with typical [removed: net] [added: triple-net] leases, our Lease Agreements have longer lease terms and, thus, there is an increased risk that contractual rental increases in future years will fail to result in fair market rental rates during those years.
As a result, our results of operations and cash flows and distributions to our stockholders could be lower than they would otherwise be if we did not enter into long-term triple net [removed: leases.][added: leases, or entered into such leases on different terms.]
While certain of our Lease Agreements contain escalation provisions that are tied to changes in the [removed: consumer price index (“CPI”),] [added: CPI,] these [added: annual] escalators in some cases do not apply until [added: future periods as specified under] the [removed: future.][added: applicable Lease Agreements.]
For example, under the [removed: Regional] [added: MGM] Master [removed: Lease Agreement,] [added: Lease,] the [added: CPI] escalator is [removed: 1.5%] [added: fixed at 2.0%] for [removed: the second] [added: two] through [removed: fifth years] [added: ten] of the [removed: lease and] [added: MGM Master Lease and,] for the remainder of the term, the escalator is [removed: CPI] [added: the greater of 2.0% and CPI,] subject to a [removed: 2.0% floor.][added: 3.0% cap.]
[removed: Certain] [added: In addition, certain] of these [added: annual] escalators are subject to a maximum cap, which could result in lower rent escalation than any such CPI increase in a single year or over a longer period.
[removed: Tenants] [added: Our tenants] may choose not to renew the Lease Agreements.
In particular with respect to the coterminous nature of the Caesars [removed: Lease Agreements,] [added: Leases,] this risk would be exacerbated if Caesars elected not to renew all such lease agreements at any one time.
Our ability to sell or dispose of our properties may be hindered by, among other things, the fact that such properties are subject to the Lease Agreements, as the terms of the Lease Agreements require that a purchaser assume the Lease Agreements or, in certain cases, enter into a severance lease with the tenants for the sold property on substantially the same terms as contained in [removed: the applicable Lease Agreement, which may make our properties less attractive to a potential buyer than alternative properties that may be for sale.]
In addition, the [removed: BREIT] [added: MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay] JV previously entered into a tax protection agreement with MGM with respect to built-in gain and debt maintenance related to MGM Grand Las Vegas and Mandalay Bay, which is effective through mid-2029, and by acquiring [removed: MGP, we will bear MGP’s approximate 50.1% proportionate share] [added: MGP and subsequently the remaining 49.9% interest] in the [removed: BREIT JV of] [added: MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay JV, we bear] any indemnity under this existing tax protection agreement.
[removed: If Caesars declares] [added: If approved by the] bankruptcy [added: court, we could be bound by the new terms] and [added: prevented from collecting] such [removed: action results in a lease being re-characterized as a disguised financing transaction] [added: additional rent acquired] in [removed: its bankruptcy proceeding,] [added: the Caesars Transaction, and] our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be materially and adversely [removed: affected.][added: affected.]
In evaluating us, you should consider carefully, among other things, the risks described below.
Currently, our two largest tenants, Caesars and MGM, comprise approximately 79% of our total estimated annualized cash rent as of December 31, 2022.
[Table of Content](#i0ec8509054d64d8282fb5b2fcc89907c_7)[s](#i0ec8509054d64d8282fb5b2fcc89907c_7)
Our tenants are required to pay a significant portion of their cash flow from operations to us pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, our respective Lease Agreements and loan and other agreements with them.
These lease payments, as well as interest payments on their outstanding indebtedness, could adversely affect our tenants’ business and financial condition, as well as their ability to satisfy their contractual payment obligations to us.
For example, our two largest tenants, Caesars and MGM, are obligated to pay us approximately $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, in estimated annual payments for 2023 under (i) the Caesars Leases and Caesars’ other agreements with us, and (ii) the MGM Master Lease and the MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay Lease, respectively.
[Table of Content](#i0ec8509054d64d8282fb5b2fcc89907c_7)[s](#i0ec8509054d64d8282fb5b2fcc89907c_7)

We intend to continue to pursue acquisitions of gaming, hospitality, entertainment and leisure sector properties and activities directly related thereto, which we refer to as “experiential assets” and other strategic opportunities.
Additionally, we may not identify all potential costs and liabilities in the course of our due diligence in connection with these opportunities.
In the event that a cost or liability is not adequately identified in the course of such due diligence or addressed in the course of negotiating such transaction, we may not fully realize the anticipated benefit of such
[Table of Content](#i0ec8509054d64d8282fb5b2fcc89907c_7)[s](#i0ec8509054d64d8282fb5b2fcc89907c_7)
transaction, if at all, or our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected.
Adverse economic and market conditions, including rising interest rates and market volatility, as well as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, also present challenges with respect to assessing a potential counterparties’ historical and projected performance, as well as underlying asset values.
We are subject to additional risks due to the location of properties that we own, or may acquire in the future, outside the United States.
In connection with our recently completed acquisition of the real estate assets of the PURE Portfolio, we acquired our first properties outside the United States.
Additionally, we may in the future acquire or make investments in additional properties located in other countries, including Canada.
The value of the PURE Portfolio and any other properties we purchase in non-U.S. jurisdictions may be affected by factors specific to the laws and business practices of such jurisdictions.
The laws and business practices of foreign jurisdictions may expose us to risks that are different from and in addition to those commonly found in the United States, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) the burden of complying with non-U.S. laws including land use and zoning laws or more stringent environmental laws; (ii) existing or new laws relating to the foreign ownership of real property and laws restricting our ability to repatriate earnings and cash into the United States; (iii) the potential for expropriation; (iv) adverse effects of changes in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and foreign currencies in which revenue is generated at our properties outside the United States; (v) imposition of adverse or confiscatory taxes, changes in real estate and other tax rates or laws and changes in other operating expenses in such foreign jurisdictions; (vi) possible challenges to the anticipated tax treatment of our revenue and our properties; (vii) the potential difficulty of enforcing rights and obligations in other countries; and (viii) our more limited experience and expertise in foreign countries relative to our experience and expertise in the United States.

Inflation as measured by changes in the consumer price index (“CPI”) increased at an average of 5.6% in 2022.

the applicable Lease Agreement, which may make our properties less attractive to a potential buyer than alternative properties that may be for sale.
We are subject to the credit risk of our tenants and borrowers in connection with the rental and other obligations owed to us under applicable leases, guarantees, and other financing agreements.
[Table of Content](#i0ec8509054d64d8282fb5b2fcc89907c_7)[s](#i0ec8509054d64d8282fb5b2fcc89907c_7)
may affect our tenants’ and borrowers’ ability to obtain financing to operate their businesses or continue to profitability execute their business plans.
In Las Vegas and the surrounding region, a significant majority of water is sourced from the Colorado River and water levels in Lake Mead, which serves as a reservoir, have steadily declined in recent years, resulting in various regulatory bodies pursuing water conservation initiatives.
[Table of Content](#i0ec8509054d64d8282fb5b2fcc89907c_7)[s](#i0ec8509054d64d8282fb5b2fcc89907c_7)
weather conditions.
In addition, our Lease Agreements typically include provisions allowing the applicable tenant to either remove an individual facility from such lease or to terminate such lease in certain cases of casualty or condemnation within the final years of the lease term (as applicable), including, in the case of the Regional Lease Agreement and the MGM Master Lease, the tenant’s right to remove a facility in certain cases in which a casualty event representing damage in excess of a certain value threshold occurs to such facility during the final two years of the applicable lease term or a condemnation event occurs that renders such facility unsuitable for its primary intended use.
Pursuant to an assessment from a third-party environmental consultant, we evaluated the degree of risk our individual properties and overall portfolio are subject to due to the potential impact of flooding, heat stress, water stress, drought, extreme winds, wildfires, and seismic events, as well as other extreme weather conditions caused by climate change.
The assessment determined that our properties are subject to varying degrees of risk with respect to these potential impacts and, with respect to
[Table of Content](#i0ec8509054d64d8282fb5b2fcc89907c_7)[s](#i0ec8509054d64d8282fb5b2fcc89907c_7)
our overall portfolio, we determined that flooding, water stress and heat stress pose the greatest material risk to our properties, including:
- water stress and heat stress risks at our Nevada properties;
- flooding, heat stress and wind risks at our properties in the Southeast United States;
- flooding and heat stress risks in the Midwest United States; and
- flooding risks at our properties in the Northeast United States and West Virginia.
Over the long term, climate change impacts may adversely affect the viability of our tenants’ operations and continued investment in our properties, as well as the value of such properties.
For example we engaged a third‐party energy and sustainability consultant who performed a regulatory compliance risk assessment that found that four of our properties are currently subject to active energy use benchmarking requirements due to their location.
Currently, a significant percentage of our revenue comes from Caesars, comprising 84% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 (and, following the closing of the Venetian Acquisition and the completion of the pending MGP Transactions, from Caesars and MGM, with Caesars representing approximately 42% of total estimated annualized cash rent and MGM representing approximately 36% of total estimated annualized cash rent, after taking into account MGM’s pending sale of the operations of The Mirage Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas).
For example, Caesars relies on our properties, the Caesars Forum Convention Center and their other operations to satisfy their payment obligations under the Caesars Lease Agreements and the Forum Convention Center Mortgage Loan.

other agreements or, due to our predominantly master lease structure, certain leases with respect to any particular property.
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our tenants’ operations and financial performance, as well as global and U.S. economic activity and market performance, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects.
Since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, COVID-19 has spread globally and created considerable health risks in the United States and around the world, resulting in severely adversely impacted global, national and regional economic activity.
Several countries, including the United States, have instituted and continue to institute various restrictions on travel and large gatherings.
In connection with these actions, state governments and/or regulatory authorities issued various directives, mandates, orders or similar actions, which resulted in temporary closures of our tenants’ operations at all of our properties and our golf course operations.
Relevant authorities may issue additional directives, mandates, orders or similar actions, which could result in additional closures of our tenants’ operations and our golf course operations.
In addition, our tenants have experienced a substantial number of cancellations and reductions in events and reservations in connection with the ongoing pandemic, including as a result of the most recent emergence of new variants, and may in the future experience similar cancellations and reductions.
This reduced customer activity adversely affected our tenants’ financial performance, and any similar future impacts could be material to us depending on the ultimate duration of the pandemic and the magnitude of any future reductions in our tenants’ customer activity and engagement.
Although all of our leased properties and our golf courses are currently open and operating, without restriction in some jurisdictions, they remain subject to any current or future operating limitations, restrictions or closures imposed by state and local governments and/or regulatory authorities.
While our tenants’ recent performance at many of our leased properties has been at or above pre-pandemic levels, our tenants may continue to face additional challenges and uncertainty due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as complying with operational and capacity restrictions, ensuring sufficient employee staffing and service levels, and maintaining improved operating margins and financial performance.
The ongoing nature of the pandemic, including the impact of emerging variants, may further adversely affect our tenants’ businesses and, accordingly, our business and financial performance could be adversely affected in the future.
We cannot predict with confidence whether government or regulatory orders, or travel and other restrictions, including orders and restrictions re-imposed in connection with the increase in the COVID-19 infection rate that began in late 2021 and early 2022 as a result of an emerging variant, will end or whether such regulations and restrictions will affect our tenants’ performance.
In addition, due to the current volatility in the debt and equity markets, we may be unable to obtain financing for future acquisitions on satisfactory terms, or at all.
Increased disruption and instability in the global financial markets or a deterioration in credit and financing conditions may affect our access to debt and equity capital in order to fund business operations, if necessary, or address maturing liabilities on a timely basis, as well as our tenants’ ability to fund their business operations, meet their obligations to us, and secure financing for any future or pending transactions.
The full extent to which our business and results of operations will ultimately be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and any resulting negative economic impacts, and the extent to which such factors continue to adversely affect our tenants, will largely depend on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, including the availability, distribution and efficacy of one or more vaccines, new or mutated strains of COVID-19 or a similar virus (including vaccine-resistant strains), and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures on our tenants, including the length of time our tenants’ operations at our properties remain restricted or whether the properties are required to partially or fully close again in the future, and our tenants’ financial performance while open and during any such closures.
In addition, new information may continue to emerge concerning the COVID-19 pandemic, and actions required or recommended to be undertaken to contain the COVID-19 pandemic or address its future impact, including the response of the U.S. and global economies and the short- and long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our tenants’ operations at our properties, could further materially and adversely impact our business and results and operations.
Reductions in flights by major airlines as a result of higher fuel prices, lower demand, labor shortages or public health considerations, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, has impacted and may continue to impact the number of visitors to our properties.
Our significant tenants are obligated to pay us rent under our Lease Agreements for the duration of the respective terms.
For example, Caesars, which is our largest tenant (and, subsequent to the MGP Transactions, will be one of our largest tenants with MGM), is obligated to pay us in the aggregate approximately $5.7 billion in fixed annual rents under the Caesars Lease Agreements, payments under the Forum Convention Center Mortgage Loan and golf course membership fees under the Golf Course Use Agreement over the next five years, subject to certain escalators and adjustments under the applicable agreements.
For example, as disclosed in Caesars’ Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September
30, 2021, Caesars’ consolidated estimated debt service (including principal and interest) for 2022 will be approximately $880 million and $17.8 billion thereafter to maturity.
As a result, a significant portion of Caesars’ liquidity needs are for debt service, including significant interest payments.
Such substantial indebtedness and the restrictive covenants under the agreements governing such indebtedness could limit the ability of the applicable tenants and borrower to satisfy their respective obligations to us under the applicable Lease Agreements and other agreements with us, such as the Forum Convention Center Mortgage Loan, and the ability of the guarantors of our significant tenants to satisfy their obligations under the related guarantees.
In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a severe and unprecedented impact on the gaming industry.
During this period, many gaming companies have faced heightened financial uncertainty or generated substantially reduced revenue and have sought or taken measures intended to maintain liquidity and solvency, including employee furloughs and layoffs, reduced operating and capital expenditure budgets, and contractual relief or other accommodations sought with creditors, lenders and other counterparties.
There is no guarantee that existing government-imposed restrictions on travel and social gatherings, including restrictions imposed in late 2021 in response to an emerging variant, will be lifted in the near term, that additional government-imposed restrictions will not be implemented, or that previous restrictions that were lifted or modified will not be reinstated.
Moreover, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the gaming industry, the timing and extent of government-imposed restrictions and the performance of gaming facilities is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence.
Long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as decreases in discretionary spending or changing consumer preferences brought about by global public health concerns and instability in global, national and regional economic activity and financial markets, could have a long-term material adverse effect on leisure and business travel, discretionary spending and other areas of economic behavior that directly impact the gaming industry.
which may include a public offering of certain securities.
Consummation of the Mergers is conditioned on the receipt of approvals from a number of gaming regulatory authorities.
Such gaming regulatory authorities may impose conditions on the granting of such approvals and findings.
Such conditions and the process of obtaining such regulatory approvals could have the effect of delaying or impeding consummation of the Mergers or of imposing additional costs or limitations on us following the Mergers.
In addition, to the extent any of our officers or a member of our board of directors is found unsuitable, we would need to find a replacement, which may take time and could adversely impact our financial and operational performance, including our ability to successfully consummate the Mergers and integrate MGP into VICI.
Any such finding of unsuitability by regulatory authorities and resulting resignation or removal of an officer of VICI or a member of our board of directors could also impact our governance structure following the Mergers.
Inflation in December 2021 was at its highest level in approximately 40 years.
For example, each of the Caesars
Lease Agreements has an initial lease term of 15 years with the potential for up to four additional five-year term extensions thereafter (with the initial lease term under each of the Caesars Lease Agreements extended in connection with the Eldorado Transaction to expire in July 2035).

- Venetian Acquisition. [removed: Subsequent to year end, on] [added: On] February 23, 2022, we closed on the previously announced transaction to acquire all of the land and real estate assets associated with the Venetian Resort from [removed: LVS] [added: Las Vegas Sands Corp. (“LVS”)] for $4.0 billion in cash, and the Venetian Tenant acquired the operating assets of the Venetian Resort for $2.25 billion, of which $1.2 billion is in the form of a secured term loan from LVS and the remainder was paid in cash.

Simultaneous with the closing of the Venetian Acquisition, we entered into the Venetian Lease [removed: Agreement] with the Venetian Tenant.
The Venetian Lease [removed: Agreement] has an initial total annual rent of $250.0 million and an initial term of 30 years, with two ten-year tenant renewal options.
In connection with the Venetian Acquisition, we entered into a [added: Partner] Property Growth Fund Agreement (“Venetian [removed: PGFA”)] [added: PGF”)] with the Venetian Tenant.
Under the Venetian [removed: PGFA,] [added: PGF,] we agreed to provide up to $1.0 billion for various development and construction projects affecting the Venetian Resort to be identified by the Venetian Tenant and that satisfy certain criteria more particularly set forth in the Venetian [removed: PGFA,] [added: PGF,] in consideration of additional incremental rent to be paid by the Venetian Tenant under the Venetian Lease [removed: Agreement] and calculated in accordance with a formula set forth in the Venetian [removed: PGFA.][added: PGF.]
In addition, LVS agreed with the Venetian Tenant pursuant to an agreement (the “Contingent Lease Support Agreement”) entered into simultaneously with the closing of the Venetian Acquisition to provide lease payment support designed to guarantee the Venetian Tenant’s rent obligations under the Venetian Lease [removed: Agreement] through 2023, subject to early termination if EBITDAR (as defined in such agreement) generated by the Venetian Resort in 2022 equals or exceeds $550.0 million, or a tenant change of control occurs.
We [removed: are] [added: were] a third-party beneficiary of the Contingent Lease Support Agreement and [removed: have] [added: had] certain enforcement rights pursuant thereto.
- BigShots [removed: Strategic Arrangement.] [added: Loan.] On [removed: September 15, 2021, we and ClubCorp Holdings, Inc. (“ClubCorp”), a portfolio company of Apollo, announced that] [added: April 7, 2022,] we entered into a [removed: strategic arrangement to grow their] [added: loan with] BigShots [removed: golf subsidiary] [added: Golf] (“BigShots Golf”), [removed: whereby] [added: a subsidiary of ClubCorp Holdings, Inc.

- Entered into the Credit Facilities, including a $2.5 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility, and terminated our previous Secured Revolving Credit Facility.
- MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay JV Interest Acquisition. Subsequent to year-end, on January 9, 2023, we closed on the previously announced acquisition of the remaining 49.9% interest in the MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay JV (previously referred to as the “BREIT JV”) from BREIT (the “MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay JV Interest Acquisition”) for cash consideration of $1,261.9 million.
We also assumed BREIT’s $1,497.0 million pro rata share of an aggregate $3.0 billion of property-level debt, which matures in 2032 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.558% per annum through March 2030.
The cash consideration was funded through a combination of cash on hand and proceeds from the settlement of the November 2022 Forward Sale Agreements and ATM Forward Sale Agreements (each as defined in [Note 11 - Stockholders Equity](#i0ec8509054d64d8282fb5b2fcc89907c_160)).
The MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay Lease currently has annual rent of $303.8 million, all of which will be reflected in our Financial Statements following the closing of the MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay JV Interest Acquisition (and will have annual rent of approximately $310.0 million upon commencement of the next rental escalation on March 1, 2023).

We financed the PURE Canadian Gaming Transaction with a combination of cash on hand and by drawing down C$140.0 million (approximately US$103.4 million based on the exchange rate at the time of the acquisition) under our Revolving Credit Facility.
Simultaneous with the acquisition, we entered into the PURE Master Lease, which has an initial annual rent of approximately C$21.8 million (approximately US$16.1 million based on the exchange rate at the time of the acquisition), an initial term of 25 years, with four 5-year tenant renewal options, escalation of 1.25% per annum (with escalation of the greater of 1.5% and Canadian CPI, capped at 2.5%, beginning in lease year four) and minimum capital expenditure requirements of 1.0% of annual net revenue (excluding gaming equipment).

Pursuant to the transaction agreements, we will acquire an interest in the land and buildings associated with Rocky Gap Casino for approximately $203.9 million and Century Casinos will acquire the operating assets of the property for approximately $56.1 million.
Simultaneous with the closing of the transaction, the Century Master Lease will be amended to include Rocky Gap Casino and annual rent will increase by $15.5 million.
Additionally, the terms of the Century Master Lease will be extended such that, upon closing of the transaction, the lease will have a full 15-year initial base lease term remaining, with four 5-year tenant renewal options.
The tenants’ obligations under the Century Master Lease will continue to be guaranteed by Century Casinos.
- MGP Transactions. On April 29, 2022, we closed on the previously announced MGP Transactions governed by the MGP Master Transaction Agreement, pursuant to which we acquired MGP for total consideration of $11.6 billion, plus the assumption of approximately $5.7 billion principal amount of debt, inclusive of our 50.1% share of the MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay JV CMBS debt.
Simultaneous with the closing of the Mergers on April 29, 2022, we entered into the MGM Master Lease.
The MGM Master Lease has an initial term of 25 years, with three 10-year tenant renewal options and has an initial total annual rent of $860.0 million.
The total annual rent under the MGM Master Lease was reduced by $90.0 million upon the close of MGM’s sale of the operations of the Mirage to Hard Rock and entrance into the Mirage Lease on December 19, 2022, and further reduced by $40.0 million upon the close of MGM’s sale of the operations of Gold Strike on February 15, 2023 (which takes the total annual rent under the MGM Master Lease to $730.0 million), each as described below.
Subsequent to year-end, on January 9, 2023, we closed on the MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay JV Interest Acquisition and accordingly own 100% of the interest in the MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay JV.
On a combined basis, as of January 9, 2023, we receive approximately $1,073.8 million of annual rent under the MGM Master Lease and MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay Lease.
Refer to “*MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay JV Interest Acquisition*” above for further details.
We funded the Venetian
The EBITDAR generated by the operations of the Venetian Resort exceeded $550.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 and, accordingly, the Contingent Lease Support Agreement early terminated in accordance with its terms.
Loan Origination Activity
- Great Wolf Northeast Loan. On December 30, 2022, we entered into a loan with Great Wolf, under which we agreed to provide up to $287.9 million of senior secured financing (the “Great Wolf Northeast Loan”) the proceeds of which will be used to fund the development of a Great Wolf Lodge in Mashantucket, Connecticut, a 549-room indoor family resort water park project adjacent to the Foxwoods Resort Casino.
- Fontainebleau Las Vegas Loan. On December 23, 2022, we entered into definitive agreements pursuant to which we have agreed to provide up to $350.0 million in mezzanine loan financing (the “Fontainebleau Las Vegas Loan”) to a partnership between Fontainebleau Development, LLC, a builder, owner, and operator of luxury hospitality, commercial and retail properties, and Koch Real Estate Investments, the real estate investment arm of Koch Industries, to complete the construction of Fontainebleau Las Vegas, a 67-story hotel, gaming, meeting, and entertainment destination coming to the north end of the Las Vegas Strip.
The investment was, and will continue to be, funded by us in accordance with a construction draw schedule.
Subsequent to the closing of the MGP Transactions, which we anticipate will occur in the first half of 2022, we will have 43 market leading properties, 10 of which will be located on the Las Vegas Strip, consisting of 117 million square feet, 57,500 hotel rooms and featuring over 730 restaurants, bars and nightclubs across our portfolio.
Since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, among the broader public health, societal and global impacts, the pandemic has resulted in governmental and/or regulatory actions imposing temporary closures or restrictions from time to time on our tenants’ operations at our properties and our golf course operations.
Although all of our leased properties and our golf courses are currently open and operating, without restriction in some jurisdictions, they remain subject to any current or future operating limitations, restrictions or closures imposed by governments and/or regulatory authorities.
The ongoing nature of the pandemic, including the impact of emerging variants, may further adversely affect our tenants’ businesses and, accordingly, our business and financial performance could be adversely affected in the future.
All of our tenants have fulfilled their rent obligations through February 2022 and we regularly engage with our tenants in connection with their business performance, operations, liquidity and financial results.
However, the full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely affect our tenants, and ultimately impacts us, depends on future developments which cannot be predicted with confidence, including the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, including the availability, distribution, public acceptance and efficacy of

approved vaccines, new or mutated variants of COVID-19 (including vaccine-resistant variants) or a similar virus, the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures on our tenants, our tenants’ financial performance and any future operating limitations or closures.
- Net income attributable to common stockholders was $1,013.9 million, or $1.76 per diluted share.
◦The MGP Transactions for approximately $17.2 billion, which upon closing will add $1,009.0 million of annualized rent to our portfolio;
◦The Great Wolf Mezzanine Loan, with a total commitment of $79.5 million and interest rate of 8.0%.
- Completed two equity offerings with an aggregate offering value of $5.4 billion.
- Settled the remaining 26,900,000 shares of the June 2020 Forward Sale Agreement for net proceeds of approximately $526.9 million.
- Used the proceeds from the September 2021 equity offering and settlement of the June 2020 Forward Sale Agreement to repay in full the $2.1 billion secured Term Loan B Facility and settle the outstanding interest rate swap agreements.
- MGP Transactions. On August 4, 2021, we, MGP and MGM, MGP’s controlling shareholder, announced that we entered into the MGP Master Transaction Agreement, pursuant to which we will acquire MGP for total consideration of $17.2 billion, inclusive of the assumption of approximately $5.7 billion of debt.
Simultaneous with the closing of the transaction, we will enter into the MGM Master Lease Agreement with MGM.
The MGM Master Lease Agreement will have an initial term of 25 years, with three 10-year tenant renewal options and will have an initial total annual rent of $860.0 million, which will be reduced by $90.0 million to $770.0 million, subject to the pending sale of the Mirage (although, in connection with such sale, we agreed to enter into a new separate lease with Hard Rock related to the land and real estate assets of the Mirage which will have initial annual base rent of $90.0 million with other economic terms substantially similar to the MGM Master Lease Agreement, as further described below).
Additionally, we will retain MGP’s existing 50.1% ownership stake in the BREIT JV, which owns the real estate
On a combined basis, the MGM Master Lease Agreement and BREIT JV lease will deliver initial attributable rent to us of approximately $1,009.0 million (which will be reduced to approximately $919.0 million upon closing of the sale of the Mirage).
However, we can provide no assurances that the MGP Transactions will close in the anticipated timeframe, on the contemplated terms or at all.
The Contingent Lease Support Agreement is limited to coverage of the Venetian Tenant’s rent obligations and does not cover any environmental expenses, litigation claims, or any cure or enforcement costs.
The obligations of the Venetian Tenant under the Venetian Lease Agreement are not guaranteed by Apollo or any of its affiliates.
After the termination of the Contingent Lease Support Agreement, the Venetian Tenant will be required to provide a letter of credit to secure seven and one-half months of the rent, real estate taxes and assessments and insurance obligations of the Venetian Tenant if the operating results from the Venetian Resort do not exceed certain thresholds.
As part of the non-binding arrangement, we will have a call right to acquire the real estate assets associated with any BigShots Golf facility financed by us, which transaction will be structured as a sale leaseback.
Pursuant to the non-binding letter agreement, the terms and conditions of any transaction between the parties will be set forth in definitive documentation.
- Great Wolf Mezzanine Loan. On June 16, 2021, we entered into a mezzanine loan agreement (the “Great Wolf Mezzanine Loan”) with an affiliate of Great Wolf Resorts, Inc. (“Great Wolf”) to provide up to $79.5 million to partially fund the development of the Great Wolf Lodge Maryland, a 48-acre indoor water park resort located in Perryville, MD.
Our commitment will be funded subject to customary terms and conditions in disbursements to the borrower based upon construction of the development and, as of December 31, 2021, approximately $33.6 million of funds have been disbursed.
We expect to fund our entire $79.5 million commitment by mid-2022.
In addition, pursuant to a non-binding letter agreement, we will have the opportunity for a period of up to five years to provide up to a total of $300.0 million of mezzanine financing, inclusive of the $79.5 million related to the Great Wolf Lodge Maryland, for the development and construction of Great Wolf’s extensive domestic and international indoor water park resort pipeline.
Disposition Activity
- Sale of Louisiana Downs. On November 1, 2021, we and Caesars closed on the previously announced transaction to sell Harrah’s Louisiana Downs to Rubico Acquisition Corp. for proceeds of $5.5 million to us.
The annual base rent payments under the Regional Master Lease Agreement remained unchanged following completion of the disposition.
We expect these transactions to be completed in the second half of 2022, and they remain subject to customary closing conditions, regulatory approvals and the closing of the MGP Transactions.
Specific terms of the redevelopment and related funding remain under discussion and subject to final documentation.
- Caesars Southern Indiana Lease Agreement. On September 3, 2021, in connection and concurrent with EBCI’s acquisition of the operations of Caesars Southern Indiana from Caesars, we entered into the EBCI Lease Agreement with a subsidiary of EBCI with respect to the real property associated with Caesars Southern Indiana.
Initial total annual rent under the lease with EBCI is $32.5 million.
Annual base rent payments under the Regional Master Lease Agreement were reduced by $32.5 million upon completion of EBCI’s acquisition of the operations of Caesars Southern Indiana and the execution of the EBCI Lease between us and the tenant.
In addition, as part of the transaction, we, EBCI and Caesars entered into the Danville ROFR Agreement pursuant to which we have the first right to enter into a sale leaseback transaction with respect to the real property associated with the development of a new casino resort in Danville, Virginia.

Our long-term triple-net leases provide our tenants with complete control over management at our leased properties, including sole responsibility for all operations and related expenses, including property taxes, insurance and maintenance, repair, improvement and other capital expenditures, as well as over the implementation of environmental sustainability and other initiatives.

Our Lease Agreements are generally long-term in nature with initial terms ranging from 15 to 30 years and are structured with several tenant renewal options extending the term of the lease for another 5 to 30 years.
All of our Lease Agreements provide for annual base rent escalations which range from 1% in the earlier years to the greater of 2% or CPI in the later years, with certain of our leases providing for a cap with respect to the maximum CPI-based increase.
We have entered into several right of first refusal, right of first offer and put-call agreements, as well as other strategic arrangements, including our Partner Property Growth Fund, which we believe provide the opportunity for significant embedded growth as we pursue our future strategic objectives.
- Portfolio of strategic loans with leading experiential operators. We have entered into strategic financing relationships with market-leading experiential brand operators such as Great Wolf Resorts Inc. (“Great Wolf”), a leading operator of family-oriented indoor waterparks, Cabot, an owner, developer and operator of world-class destination golf resorts and communities, and Canyon Ranch, a leading pioneer in integrative wellness.
We believe these relationships may lead to additional mutually beneficial growth opportunities with these industry-leading experiential operators in the future.
Furthermore, certain of these financing arrangements provide the potential to convert our investment into ownership of certain of the underlying real estate in the future.

- BigShots ROFO. Pursuant to the BigShots ROFO and Call Right Agreement, for so long as the BigShots Loan (as defined below) remains outstanding and we continue to hold a majority interest therein, we will have a ROFO on any multi-site mortgage, mezzanine, preferred equity, or other similar financing that is treated as debt to be obtained by BigShots Golf (or any of its affiliates) in connection with the development of BigShots Golf, subject to additional terms and conditions.
Other Embedded Growth Agreements

Most recently, we committed to fund $51.9 million for the construction of a land-based casino with a 38-room hotel tower at Century Casino Caruthersville, which will result in $4.2 million of incremental annual rent under the Century Master Lease following completion of the projects.

- Cabot Golf Course Management Agreement. On October 1, 2022, we entered into a management agreement with CDN Golf, an affiliate of Cabot, a developer, owner and operator of world-class destination golf resorts and communities, pursuant to which CDN Golf manages our four Golf Courses.
Pursuant to the management agreement, CDN Golf has assumed all day-to-day operations of the Golf Courses and the employees at each of the Golf Courses are employees of CDN Golf.
Subsequent to the closing of the MGP Transactions, which we anticipate will occur in the first half of 2022, we will have 43 market leading properties, 10 of which will be located on the Las Vegas Strip, consisting of 117 million square feet, 57,500 hotel rooms and featuring over 400 restaurants, bars and nightclubs across our portfolio.
Despite the ongoing impact and uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to evaluate and may opportunistically pursue accretive acquisitions or investments that may arise in the market.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Business
Since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, among the broader public health, societal and global impacts, the pandemic has resulted in governmental and/or regulatory actions imposing temporary closures or restrictions from time to time on our tenants’ operations at our properties and our golf course operations.
Although all of our leased properties and our golf courses are currently open and operating, without restriction in some jurisdictions, they remain subject to any current or future operating limitations, restrictions or closures imposed by governmental and/or regulatory authorities.
While our tenants’ recent performance at many of our leased properties has been at or above pre-pandemic levels, our tenants may continue to face additional challenges and uncertainty due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as complying with operational and capacity restrictions and ensuring sufficient employee staffing and service levels, and the sustainability of maintaining improved operating margins and financial performance.
The ongoing nature of the pandemic, including the impact of emerging variants, may further adversely affect our tenants’ businesses and, accordingly, our business and financial performance could be

adversely affected in the future.
All of our tenants have fulfilled their rent obligations through February 2022 and we regularly engage with our tenants in connection with their business performance, operations, liquidity and financial results.
As a triple-net lessor, we believe we are generally in a strong creditor position and structurally insulated from operational and performance impacts of our tenants, both positive and negative.
However, the full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely affect our tenants, and ultimately impacts us, depends on future developments which cannot be predicted with confidence, including the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, including the availability, distribution, public acceptance and efficacy of approved vaccines, new or mutated variants of COVID-19 (including vaccine-resistant variants) or a similar virus, the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures on our tenants, our tenants’ financial performance and any future operating limitations or closures.
For more information, refer to “[Part I – Item 1A.
Risk Factors](#icabc55744e2c4d6ab7337d22602533b7_19)” included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our properties are well-maintained and leased to leading brands such as Venetian, Caesars, Harrah’s, Harvey’s, Horseshoe, Margaritaville, Greektown, JACK, Hard Rock, Century and Mountaineer.
Subsequent to the closing of the MGP Transactions, which we anticipate will occur in the first half of 2022, we will add 15 high-quality properties, seven of which are located on the Las Vegas Strip and eight of which are regional gaming destinations.
Subsequent to the closing of the MGP Transactions, we will add 15 high-quality properties to our portfolio, serving three additional MSAs nationally.
While our tenants’ recent performance at many of our leased properties has been at or above pre-pandemic levels, some of our properties have been and continue to be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the current operating results may not be indicative of long-term operating results.
Upon closing of the MGP Transactions, we will enter into a long-term triple-net lease agreement with a subsidiary of MGM and we look forward to continuing to build our relationship with MGM.
Caesars guarantees the payment obligations of our tenants under the Caesars Lease Agreements, Penn National guarantees the payment obligations of our tenant under the Penn National Lease Agreements, Seminole Hard Rock guarantees the payment obligations of our tenant under the Hard Rock Cincinnati Lease Agreement, Century Casinos guarantees the payment obligations of our tenant under the Century Portfolio Lease Agreement, Rock Ohio Ventures LLC guarantees the payment obligations of our tenants under the JACK Cleveland/Thistledown Lease Agreement, and EBCI guarantees the payment obligations of our tenant under the EBCI Lease Agreement.
However, we are a third-party beneficiary to an agreement between the Venetian Tenant and Las Vegas Sands Corp. (“LVS”) whereby LVS provides contingent lease payment support through 2023, if certain conditions are met.
Subsequent to the closing of the MGP Transactions, MGM will guarantee the payment obligations of its tenant under the MGM Master Lease Agreement.
Subsequent to the closing of our pending transactions, our portfolio will include additional nationally recognized brands.

1 rewritten, 0 added, 3 removed, 3 unchanged
As of December 31, [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] we are not subject to any litigation that we believe could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.
In connection with the Mergers, three lawsuits were filed by purported MGP shareholders and six lawsuits were filed by purported VICI stockholders challenging the disclosures made, as applicable, in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed on September 8, 2021 and the Prospectus filed on September 23, 2021.
The plaintiffs in each action sought, among other things, to enjoin the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the MGP Master Transaction Agreement and an award of costs and attorneys’ fees.
Each of the lawsuits has been dismissed pursuant to applicable litigation procedure, although additional lawsuits arising out of the MGP Transactions may be filed in the future.

We cannot make assurances that our estimated distributions will be made or sustained or that our board of directors will not change our distribution policy in the future.
If our operations do not generate sufficient cash flow to enable us to pay our intended or required distributions, we may be required either to fund distributions from working capital, borrow or raise equity or to reduce such distributions.
In addition, our charter allows us to issue preferred stock that could have a preference on distributions and could limit our ability to make distributions to our common stockholders.
Additionally, under certain circumstances, agreements relating to our indebtedness could limit our ability to make distributions to our common stockholders.
In addition, a REIT will be required to pay a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which the distributions it makes in a calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of its ordinary income, 95% of its capital gain net income and 100% of its undistributed income from prior years.
We may generate taxable income greater than our income for financial reporting purposes prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Further, we may generate REIT taxable income greater than our cash flow from operations after operating expenses and debt service as a result of differences in timing between the recognition of REIT taxable income and the actual receipt of cash or the effect of nondeductible capital expenditures, the creation of reserves or required debt or amortization payments.

MGP Acquisition — Refer to Note 3 to the financial statements
As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on April 29, 2022, the Company acquired MGM Growth Properties LLC (“MGP”) for total consideration of $11.6 billion, plus the assumption of approximately $5.7 billion principal amount of debt, inclusive of the 50.1% share of the MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay JV CMBS debt.
The acquisition of MGP was accounted for as an asset acquisition under Accounting Standard Codification Topic 805 - *Business Combinations*, and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to components based on the relative fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
These components primarily include investment in leases – financing receivables, investment in unconsolidated affiliate, cash and cash equivalents, other assets, accrued expenses and deferred revenue, other liabilities, and debt.
To estimate the fair value of the real estate assets acquired, which are included in investment in leases – financing receivables and investment in unconsolidated affiliate, the Company considered a variety of factors including (i) asset quality and location, (ii) property operating performance and (iii) supply and demand dynamics of each property’s respective market.
Given the significant amount of judgment required by management to estimate the relative fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of the estimated fair value required a high degree of auditor judgment and increased effort, including the need to involve our valuation specialists.
*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*
Our audit procedures related to the MGP Acquisition included the following, among others:
- We tested the effectiveness of controls over the allocation of the purchase price of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including controls over management's evaluation of inputs and assumptions used in the valuation estimates.
- We obtained and evaluated the third-party valuation report and management’s valuation, along with relevant supporting documentation, such as the executed purchase and sale agreement.
- With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the valuation methodology by:
◦Assessing the reasonableness of the valuation methodology and significant assumptions used by management and their external valuation specialist, including comparing the key inputs to external market sources.
◦Assessing the impact of asset quality and location by comparing the multiples to observable market transactions of similar real estate assets.
◦Assessing the impact of supply and demand dynamics by evaluating gaming competition in certain markets.
◦Tracing property operating performance to executed lease agreements and operational data.
◦Testing the mathematical calculation of the valuation schedules.
