Item 1A. Risk Factors
75 rewritten, 50 added, 17 removed, 304 unchanged
Our two largest tenants, Caesars and MGM, comprise approximately 74% of our total leasing revenues for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]
Under our respective lease agreements with Caesars and MGM, they are obligated to pay us approximately [removed: $1.2] [added: $1.3] billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, in estimated annual lease payments for [removed: 2025.][added: 2026.]
Our tenants rely on the properties they or their respective subsidiaries own and/or operate for income to satisfy their obligations, including their debt service [removed: requirements] [added: requirements,] and rental and other payments due to us or others, and these payments may constitute a significant portion of their cash flow from operations.
If a tenant’s income at our leased properties were to significantly decline for any reason, or if a tenant’s debt service requirements were to significantly increase or if their creditworthiness were to become impaired for any reason, a tenant or any applicable guarantor may [added: be at risk of violating certain financial or operating covenants under its leases or other agreements with us or other counterparties, or] become unable or unwilling to satisfy its payment and other obligations under their leases or other agreements with [removed: us.][added: us or other counterparties.]
Additionally, these obligations [added: or the actual or potential failure to fulfill such obligations] may limit our tenants’ ability to fund their operations or development projects, raise capital, make acquisitions, and otherwise respond to competitive and economic changes by making investments to maintain and grow their portfolio of businesses and properties, which may adversely affect their competitiveness and the ability of their applicable subsidiaries and guarantors to satisfy their obligations to us under the applicable lease agreements and the related guarantees, respectively.
Moreover, given the importance of our significant tenants to our business, a failure on the part of a significant tenant to maintain its business or financial performance or [removed: experience] any deterioration of [removed: its] [added: such tenant’s] creditworthiness could materially and adversely affect us, even in the absence of a default under our agreements with such tenant.
Due to our dependence on rental and other payments from our tenants as our primary source of revenue, we may be limited in our ability [added: or willingness] to enforce our rights [added: and customary remedies] under our lease agreements or other agreements with our [removed: tenants] [added: tenants,] or terminate such [removed: other] agreements or, due to our predominantly master lease structure, certain leases with respect to any particular property.
As the landlord and owner of gaming facilities, we are impacted by risks associated with the gaming industry, which is characterized by a high degree of competition among a large number of industry participants, including brick and mortar casinos, riverboat casinos, video lottery, sweepstakes and poker machines not located in casinos, Native American gaming, [removed: emerging varieties of] [added: and] internet gaming, sports betting and other forms of gaming [added: and betting] in the United [removed: States and, in a broader sense, gaming operators face competition from all manner of leisure and entertainment activities.][added: States, including emerging platforms such as prediction markets.]
Gaming competition is intense in most of the markets where our facilities are located, and may continue to increase as a result of, among other things, the expansion or improvement of facilities by existing market participants, the availability of additional licenses in a given jurisdiction, the entrance of new gaming participants into a market, increased internet [removed: gaming and] [added: gaming,] sports [removed: betting] [added: betting, and trading on prediction markets,] or legislative changes in various jurisdictions (including those relating to the foregoing).
From time to time, various state and federal legislators and officials have proposed changes in tax laws, or in the administration of such laws, including increases in tax rates, which would affect our [added: gaming] tenants and the industry.
If adopted, such changes could adversely impact the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of our gaming tenants, including our significant [removed: tenants.][added: tenants, and the broader outlook for the gaming industry.]
Other factors over which we and our tenants have no control, including [added: geopolitical conflicts, tariffs and trade barriers,] public health crises, labor shortages, travel restrictions, supply chain disruptions and property closures, may also adversely affect the gaming industry.
Our properties on the Las Vegas Strip generated approximately [removed: 48%] [added: 49%] of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] and we expect this concentration to continue in the foreseeable future.
Moreover, due to the importance of our properties on the Las Vegas Strip, we may be disproportionately affected by general risks such as economic conditions, changing consumer behavior, severe weather and climate impacts (including heat stress, water stress and drought), natural disasters (including major fires, floods and earthquakes), [added: declining domestic] and [added: international tourism, including as a result of tariffs, trade barriers, and political or diplomatic instability, and] acts of terrorism, should such developments occur in or nearby, or otherwise impact, Las Vegas.
We intend to continue to pursue acquisitions of, and investments in, gaming, hospitality, wellness, entertainment and leisure sector properties and activities directly related thereto, which we refer to as “experiential assets”, and [added: the “experiential real estate sector”, and] other strategic opportunities.
However, we operate in a highly competitive industry and face competition [removed: from other REITs, investment]
[added: from other REITs, investment] companies, private equity firms and hedge funds, sovereign funds, lenders, gaming companies and other investors, some of whom are larger and have greater resources, access to capital and lower costs of capital or different investment parameters.
If we cannot make investments in a sufficient quantity of gaming [removed: properties and] [added: or] other experiential properties [added: (including the timely reinvestment of the proceeds from the repayment of our outstanding loans)] at favorable [removed: prices] [added: prices,] or if we are unable to finance transactions on commercially favorable terms, our business, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
Additionally, the fact that we must distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income [added: (other than net capital gains)] in order to maintain our qualification as a REIT may limit our ability to rely upon rental payments from our leased properties or subsequently acquired properties in order to finance these strategic investments and transactions.
[removed: The] [added: Further, the] investigation of such [removed: transactions] [added: potential investments, transaction structures,] and strategic alternatives, including financial analysis and underwriting, due diligence and negotiation, [added: tax] drafting, and execution of relevant agreements, requires substantial management time and attention and may impose substantial costs for financial advisors, accountants, attorneys and other advisors.
If a specific transaction [added: is delayed, terminated,] does not [added: otherwise] proceed or is not consummated for any reason, [removed: including those] [added: including, in certain cases, litigation challenging such transaction or any other reason] beyond our control, the costs incurred up to that point likely would not be recoverable and significant management time will have been lost, which could have a material adverse effect on us.
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 [removed: fully] realize the anticipated benefit of such transaction, [removed: if] [added: fully or] at all, [removed: or] [added: and] our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
[removed: Further, even] [added: Even] if we are able to acquire or invest in additional properties in the future, there is no guarantee that such properties will be able to maintain their historical performance or achieve their projected performance, which may prevent the ability of our tenants or borrowers to meet their obligations to us under the applicable agreements.
In addition, our financing of these acquisitions and investments [added: may involve our incurrence of substantial debt, which] could negatively impact our cash flows and liquidity, [removed: require us to incur substantial debt] or [removed: involve] the issuance of new equity, which would be dilutive to existing stockholders.
The failure to identify and acquire or invest in new properties effectively, [added: the failure to complete transactions in a timely manner] or [added: at all, or] the failure of any acquired properties to perform as expected, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects, as well as our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
Many jurisdictions also require any person who acquires beneficial ownership of more than a certain percentage of voting securities of a gaming company and, in some jurisdictions, non-voting securities, typically 5% of a publicly traded company, to report the acquisition to gaming authorities, and gaming authorities may require such holders to [added: apply for qualification, licensure or a finding of suitability, subject to limited exceptions for “institutional investors” that hold a company’s securities for passive investment purposes only.]
Any delay [removed: in,] or inability [removed: of,] [added: of] a new tenant to receive required licenses and other regulatory approvals from the applicable state and county government agencies may prolong the period during which the property is unoccupied and we are unable to collect the applicable rent.
A significant change in the value of the foreign currency of one or more countries where we have a significant investment or receive significant rental revenue may [added: have a material adverse effect on our business and, specifically, our U.S. dollar-reported financial condition and results of operations.]
All of our rental revenue and a substantial majority of our total revenue is generated from our long-term triple-net lease [removed: agreements and, consistent with typical triple-net leases, our lease agreements have] [added: agreements, which typically feature] longer lease terms, with a weighted average lease term (inclusive of extension options) of all of our lease agreements as of December 31, [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] of [removed: 40.7] [added: 39.6] years.
See [Item 1 “Business-Our Lease [removed: Agreements”](#i3c840a6496624dd69e6f35c6d3776189_16)] [added: Agreements”](#i368d3c19aa9d44c4a3d1ba3257c0bdcf_16)] and [Item 1 “Business-Our Relationship with Caesars and [removed: MGM”](#i3c840a6496624dd69e6f35c6d3776189_16)] [added: MGM”](#i368d3c19aa9d44c4a3d1ba3257c0bdcf_16)] for additional information regarding such agreements.
Our lease agreements [added: typically] contain annual escalation provisions, certain of which are tied to changes in CPI (or similar metrics with respect to other geographies), although these annual escalators in some cases do not apply until future periods.
Inflation as measured by changes in CPI increased at an average of [removed: 2.9%] [added: 2.7%] in [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]
Accordingly, if the cash flows generated by such properties decrease, do not increase at the same rate as the rent escalations, or do not increase as anticipated, including in connection with any capital improvement projects (such as those financed through our Partner Property Growth Fund strategy), the rents payable under such lease agreements will over time comprise a higher percentage of the cash flows generated by the applicable tenant and/or guarantor, which could make it more difficult for them to meet their respective obligations to us under the lease agreements (and related guarantees, as [removed: applicable).][added: applicable) or increase the likelihood that they request concessions or modifications to such obligations.]
In connection with certain of our transactions, including the MGP Transactions (as defined in [Note 3 - Real Estate [removed: Transactions](#i3c840a6496624dd69e6f35c6d3776189_151)),] [added: Transactions](#i368d3c19aa9d44c4a3d1ba3257c0bdcf_151)),] we entered into tax protection agreements [removed: which] [added: that] could limit our ability to sell or otherwise dispose of the subject property or properties contributed to us, and we may enter into similar such agreements in the future.
Therefore, although it may be in the best interests of our stockholders for us to sell a certain property, it may be economically prohibitive for us to do so during the specified [added: protected] period because of restrictions included within a tax protection agreement.
For example, in connection with the MGP Transactions, we entered into the MGM Tax Protection Agreement pursuant to which, subject to certain exceptions, we agreed to indemnify the Protected Parties (as defined in the MGM Tax Protection Agreement) for certain tax liabilities, during the Protected Period (as defined in the MGM Tax Protection Agreement), resulting [removed: from (i) the sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of Protected Property (as defined in the MGM Tax Protection Agreement), (ii) a merger, consolidation, or transfer of all of the assets of, or certain other transactions undertaken by us pursuant to which the ownership interests of the Protected Parties in VICI OP are required to be exchanged in whole or in part]
[added: from (i) the sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of Protected Property (as defined in the MGM Tax Protection Agreement), (ii) a merger, consolidation, or transfer of all of the assets of, or certain other transactions undertaken by us pursuant to which the ownership interests of the Protected Parties in VICI OP are required to be exchanged in whole or in part] for cash or other property, (iii) the failure of VICI OP to maintain approximately $8.5 billion of nonrecourse indebtedness allocable to the Protected Parties, which amount may be reduced over time in accordance with the MGM Tax Protection Agreement, and (iv) the failure of VICI OP or us to comply with certain tax covenants that would impact the tax liabilities of the Protected Parties.
Unless the terms of these ground and use leases are extended prior to expiration, we will no longer have rights with respect to these properties or portions of [removed: the] [added: these] properties, as the case may be, upon expiration of the applicable ground leases, which could impact our tenant’s ability to operate the property (to the extent the portions of property covered under the applicable ground and/or use lease are material to the operations of the property) and our rights and obligations under applicable lease agreements, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Pursuant to certain [removed: put-call agreements,] [added: put-call,] call [removed: agreements,] [added: right,] right of first refusal, right of first offer and similar agreements, as further described in [Item 1 "Business - Our Embedded Growth [removed: Pipeline"](#i3c840a6496624dd69e6f35c6d3776189_16),] [added: Pipeline"](#i368d3c19aa9d44c4a3d1ba3257c0bdcf_16),] we have certain rights in connection with the potential or actual purchase or sale of properties covered by these agreements, subject to applicable terms and conditions.
If a tenant or borrower is unable to meet its financial obligations, including required payments to us, such inability may result in [added: delayed rental or loan payments, failure by such tenant or borrower to fulfill] their [added: contractual obligations under their lease or loan agreement, such tenant or borrower seeking modifications to their lease or loan agreement, or such tenant’s or borrower’s] bankruptcy or insolvency.
Financial difficulties experienced by any of our tenants, borrowers or guarantors, including their potential bankruptcy or insolvency, could result in defaults under, or requests to modify or terminate, their lease agreements, related guarantees or loan agreements, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business.
We face credit risk from our tenants and borrowers, who may fail to meet their payment and other obligations to us under the applicable leases, loans and related guarantees.
Adverse developments affecting any of them, whether arising from conditions in the markets in which a tenant operates, the performance of such tenant’s portfolio or individual properties therein, or broader economic or industry factors, could impair such tenant’s ability to perform its obligations under its lease agreement with us.
In such circumstances, a tenant could default on its obligations or, in advance thereof or in connection therewith, seek to modify or renegotiate its lease agreement with us, including with respect to economic provisions (such as rent escalators, base rental payments, capital expenditure requirements, or other provisions), covenants, or changes with respect to the composition of properties under the lease agreement (including the potential sale or disposition of such properties, whether to the tenant or other third parties).
A tenant also could take other actions that could impact us, including seeking the ability to sell certain of its operations at our properties, electing not to renew its lease at maturity or pursuing a strategic transaction.
Any such modification, non-renewal, strategic transaction or other action could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, the value of the underlying real estate or our ability to re-lease such real estate on comparable terms, or at all.
These risks are heightened with respect to our larger tenants due to, among other things, the concentration of our revenues received from them.
For example, market commentary has arisen regarding the performance of properties we lease to Caesars under the Caesars Regional Master Lease and the potential impact of such performance on the Company.
This recent performance and related market narratives has adversely affected the market price of our common stock and may adversely affect our business and financial performance.
These prediction markets, which allow users to wager on sports and other events under federal commodities regulation rather than state gaming oversight, have experienced rapid growth and currently operate in states where
traditional sports betting remains illegal, creating potential competitive disadvantages for operators subject to state gaming licensing, taxation, and regulatory requirements.
To the extent such platforms continue operating with reduced regulatory burdens, our tenants may face material competitive disadvantages that could directly impact their operating performance and, consequently, the rent we receive and the value of our properties.
More broadly, gaming operators face competition from all manner of leisure and entertainment activities.
Any such adverse changes could reduce domestic and international travel, including travel to Las Vegas and other markets in which our properties are located, and negatively impact discretionary consumer spending.
Reduced travel demand or increased costs of travel could adversely affect visitation and operating performance at the properties operated by our tenants, particularly in destination markets such as Las Vegas.
Pursuant to our investment strategy, we have and may continue to make investments that involve entering into new asset classes or sectors, or utilize novel transaction structures such as strategic co-investment ventures, joint ventures, funds, and other forms of investment partnership.
These new asset classes and transaction structures may have new, different or increased risks compared to what we are currently exposed to in our business and we may not be able to manage these risks successfully.
In particular, such risks include potential impacts on our regulatory requirements, including our ability to maintain our REIT status; effectively navigating shared approval rights or governance with partners or investors whose economic interests may diverge from ours; addressing additional capital requirements or partner funding failures requiring us to contribute additional capital or raise funds or incur indebtedness on unfavorable terms; addressing contractual restrictions on our ability to transfer interests or exit investments when desired; and addressing potential disputes with partners that divert management attention and result in potential litigation, arbitration, or termination, and increased expenses.
If we are not able to successfully manage the risks associated with such activity, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our lending activities involve distinct risks compared to our acquisition and leasing of real estate, including with respect to development and construction loans for non-stabilized properties which carry additional risks, including cost overruns, completion delays, operational underperformance, and other issues that could have a material adverse effect on us.
Certain of our debt investments are investments in development and construction loans.
These loans typically involve future funding obligations and may be riskier than other types of loans as a result of potential cost overruns, construction delays and uncertainty as to the future financial performance of the underlying property.
Further, under the terms of these loans, we may be obligated to fund all or a significant portion of such loans at one or more future dates, including on a delayed draw basis, and we may not have the funds available on attractive terms, or at all, at such time to meet our funding obligations under our funding commitments.
If we fail to meet our funding obligations, we would likely be in breach of such obligations unless we
are able to raise the funds from alternative sources, which we may not be able to achieve on favorable terms or at all, or make other arrangements.
Furthermore, there could be other adverse impacts associated with the funding of development, construction or pre-stabilization loans, including increased costs that the borrower is unable or unwilling to pay, and other negative consequences, up to and including a bankruptcy filing by the borrower if they fail to fund their portion of the development project or experience cost overruns or other negative developments that impair their ability to complete the project and commence operations.
In addition, other negative developments including construction delays, disruptions in supply chains, cost increases associated with building materials and construction services, environmental and remediation efforts, and costs or difficulties associated with obtaining construction permits and complying with local regulations, availability and cost of labor, and cost overruns, as well as changes in the value of collateral during construction or prior to stabilization, may adversely affect our investments or our realization of the anticipated benefits from such investments.
In addition, borrowers may not have access to capital, which in turn, may result in the borrower’s inability to complete the project or, in the case of a construction loan, repay our loan in full or on a timely basis.
In such cases, the borrower could default on its obligations or, in advance thereof or in connection therewith, seek to modify or renegotiate the terms of its loan agreement with us, including with respect to economic provisions, covenants, or other changes.
Such borrowers could also take other actions that could impact us, including seeking to sell the development or operations, or other strategic action that does not align with our interests as a lender.
We may incur significant costs and liabilities in foreclosing on any property subject to a construction or development financing if the borrower fails to perform its obligations under the applicable loan and/or development documents, in addition to other costs and risks associated with completing construction of the property as described above.
We may incur a significant loss selling or leasing the property if we are unable to do so on terms reasonably acceptable to us, or at all.
Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect the value of our investment, our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of such investment, and our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects, as well as our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
We are subject to additional risks from our investments located outside the United States or on tribal land.
Properties and investments on tribal land are also subject to tribal laws, regulations, and governmental authority that may differ from federal and state frameworks, including with respect to land use, gaming regulation, taxation, and business practices.
In addition, certain of our investments, such as the North Fork loan, are secured by the property and assets of the borrower, including cash flows and revenues generated by the property, but excluding real property or any interests therein.
Accordingly, investments where the underlying property is on tribal land may expose us to additional risks related to our ability to realize repayment of loaned amounts, the enforceability of contractual provisions, including limited waivers of sovereign immunity (to the extent applicable) and customary rights and remedies with respect to such investments or the assets secured as collateral, up to and including limitations on the ability to exercise customary foreclosure remedies in the event of a default.
In addition, in the event of a foreclosure, the applicable borrower or its operating subsidiary may not be replaceable as operator of the gaming operations at such property and the assets of such borrower and its applicable subsidiaries may be insufficient to ensure payment in full to us of the amounts lent under such loan arrangements.
Exchange rates may fluctuate based on
many factors, including domestic and international trade policies and the imposition of tariffs.
Pursuant to our investment strategy, we may often be engaged in evaluating potential transactions and other strategic alternatives.
apply for qualification, licensure or a finding of suitability, subject to limited exceptions for “institutional investors” that hold a company’s securities for passive investment purposes only.
We are subject to additional risks due to our international investments and acquisitions, including properties that we own, or may acquire in the future, outside the United States.
have a material adverse effect on our business and, specifically, our U.S. dollar reported financial condition and results of operations.
The bankruptcy or insolvency of any tenant, borrower or guarantor could result in the termination of the lease agreements, the related guarantees or loan agreements and certain lease agreements being re-characterized as disguised financing transactions.
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.
In event of such a default, there can be no assurances that the tenants or the guarantor would
which may prevent us from restoring such properties to their prior state.
Although we make efforts to maintain the security and integrity of our IT
The market price of our common stock may be volatile as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including: variations in our results of operations; changes in general economic conditions and market developments, including interest rates; adverse developments involving our tenants; market reaction to any additional capital we raise in the future;
Subsequent to year end, on February 3, 2025, we terminated the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility and entered into the Revolving Credit Facility in an amount of $2.5 billion (with the option to increase the revolving loan commitments by up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate to the extent that any one or more lenders (from the syndicate or otherwise) agree to provide such additional credit extensions), which matures on February 3, 2029.

[removed: Tenant] [added: Tenant, Borrower] and Industry Performance
Our tenants [added: and borrowers] (and [added: in each case, their] respective guarantors, as applicable) under our lease [added: and loan] agreements are [removed: leading] gaming and [added: other] experiential operators across the United States, Canada and abroad.
[removed: Rental payments] [added: Payments] under our lease [added: and loan] agreements comprise, and are expected to continue to comprise, a substantial majority of our revenues.
Accordingly, we are dependent on, among other things, our tenants’ [removed: (and respective guarantors’, as applicable)] [added: and borrowers’] financial performance, the performance of the gaming and other experiential industries and the health of the economies in the areas where our [removed: properties] [added: investments] are located for the foreseeable future, and an event that has a material adverse effect on any of our tenant’s [added: or borrowers’] business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations or prospects could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects.
In addition, the financial performance of our tenants [removed: (and respective guarantors, as applicable)] [added: and borrowers] also has a direct impact on our financial results in a given reporting period due to the impact of ASC 326 “Credit Losses” (“ASC 326”), which requires us to estimate and record non-cash expected credit losses related to our investments, including changes on a quarterly basis, that are recorded in our Statement of Operations and impact our reported net income.
The change in non-cash allowance for credit losses for a given period is dependent upon, among other things, our tenants’ and [removed: guarantors’] [added: borrowers’] financial performance.
For more information regarding ASC 326, refer to [Note 5 - Allowance for Credit [removed: Losses](#i3c840a6496624dd69e6f35c6d3776189_157)] [added: Losses](#i368d3c19aa9d44c4a3d1ba3257c0bdcf_160)] included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

- PENN Lease Combination. On December 4, 2025, we and PENN combined the existing individual leases with respect to the Hollywood Casino at Greektown (the “Greektown Lease”) in Detroit, Michigan, and the Margaritaville Resort Casino (the “Margaritaville Lease”) in Bossier City, Louisiana, into one master lease for both properties (the “PENN Master Lease”).
The PENN Master Lease has total annual rent equal to $80.7 million (the “Combined Rent”), representing the combined annual rent amounts under the Greektown Lease and the Margaritaville Lease as of December 4, 2025.
There was no change to the aggregate amount of rent collected by us as a result of the combination.
Annual rent escalation on the Combined Rent will occur on June 1 of each year based on the following construct: on June 1, 2026, the Combined Rent will escalate at a fixed 1.0%, and beginning on June 1, 2027, and for each year thereafter, the Combined Rent will escalate at 1.0% if the minimum net revenue to rent ratio (the “Minimum Ratio”) is achieved.
The Minimum Ratio will be set as of June 1, 2026 and will be based on the sum of net revenues generated by the two assets over the performance period from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2026, divided by the Combined Rent.
The PENN Master Lease has an initial maturity on May 23, 2034 with four 5-year tenant renewal options.
The existing guarantor under the Greektown Lease and Margaritaville Lease remains the same for the PENN Master Lease with PENN continuing to guarantee all obligations.
- Golden Entertainment Transaction.

Sartini, current chairman and chief executive officer of Golden, which entity will acquire the operating business of Golden in connection with the closing of the transaction.
The Golden Portfolio includes: The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower on the North Las Vegas Strip; Arizona Charlie’s Decatur and Arizona Charlie’s Boulder in the Las Vegas Locals market; Aquarius Casino Resort and Edgewater Casino Resort in Laughlin, Nevada; and Pahrump Nugget Hotel & Casino and Lakeside RV Park & Casino in Pahrump, Nevada.
The Golden Portfolio features approximately 362,000 square feet of casino space, over 6,000 hotel rooms, 4,306 slot machines and 78 table games.
The Golden Master Lease will have an initial total annual rent of $87.0 million and an initial term of 30 years, with four 5-year tenant renewal options.
Rent under the Golden Master Lease will escalate annually at 2.0% beginning in Lease Year 3.
The obligations of Golden OpCo under the Golden Master Lease will be guaranteed by a holding company that is owned and controlled by Mr. Sartini and owns all of the gaming and operating assets of Golden, with additional credit support provided by financial covenants within the lease.
Golden shareholders will receive approximately 24.3 million shares of newly issued VICI stock in exchange for the outstanding shares of Golden stock, which represents an agreed-upon exchange ratio of 0.902 per share of Golden’s common stock based on VICI’s 10-day volume weighted average price as of November 5, 2025, as well as cash consideration that is payable by an affiliate of the Golden OpCo.
In connection with the transaction, we will assume and immediately retire Golden’s outstanding $426.0 million of debt using a combination of cash on hand, net proceeds available pursuant to forward sale agreements and/or drawing down funds available under our revolving credit facility.
We do not expect to require additional financing, including capital markets activity, to complete the transaction.
The transaction is expected to close in mid-2026, subject to the approval of the Golden stockholders, as well as customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
*•*Northfield Park Severance Lease. On October 16, 2025, we announced that, in connection with MGM’s agreement to sell the operations of Northfield Park (“Northfield Park”), located in Northfield, Ohio, to an affiliate of funds managed by Clairvest Group Inc. (“Clairvest”), we agreed to enter into (i) a new triple-net lease agreement with an affiliate of Clairvest with respect to the real property of Northfield Park (“Northfield Park Lease”) and (ii) an amendment to the existing MGM Master Lease in order to account for MGM’s divestiture of the operations of Northfield Park and to reduce the annual base rent under the MGM Master Lease by the initial base rent under the Northfield Park Lease.
The Northfield Park Lease will have an initial annual base rent of $53.0 million (or $54.0 million if the transaction closes on or after May 1, 2026 to reflect the 2.0% annual escalation provided under the MGM Master Lease).
Upon closing, the Northfield Park Lease will begin a new 25-year lease term with three 10-year tenant renewal options, with other economic terms substantially similar to the MGM Master Lease, including escalation of 2.0% per annum (with escalation equal to the greater of 2.0% and the change in CPI (capped at 3.0%) beginning at the same time as the MGM Master Lease in 2032) and a minimum capital expenditure requirement equal to 1.0% of annual net revenue.
The Northfield Park Lease will be guaranteed by an affiliate of funds managed by Clairvest that will own the operations of Northfield Park.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals and
is expected to be completed in the first half of 2026.
On June 23, 2025, we purchased an additional $150.0 million interest in the existing mezzanine loan, concurrent with a commensurate increase in the total size of the mezzanine loan.
Under the provisions of the existing mezzanine loan, interest is paid-in-kind and added to the outstanding principal balance.
- North Fork Casino Loan. On April 4, 2025, we provided a commitment of up to $510.0 million of a $725.0 million delayed draw term loan facility (the “Term Loan Arrangement”) to the North Fork Rancheria Economic Development Authority, a wholly owned entity of the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians of California.

Our tenants’ and borrowers’ business strategies and their ability to execute their business plans effectively, including in response to evolving competitive, regulatory and consumer dynamics, may also impact our performance, especially over the long-term.
The gaming industry continues to experience intensifying competition from multiple sources, including the expansion of gaming in new jurisdictions, the growth of internet gaming, sports betting and other alternatives and accompanying regulatory developments, and evolving consumer preferences and behaviors.
Other experiential industries also face varying degrees of competition and other emerging developments that require strategic engagement.

- Venetian Capital Investment. On May 1, 2024, we entered into agreements to fund the up to $700.0 million Venetian Capital Investment for extensive reinvestment projects at the Venetian Resort through our Partner Property Growth Fund strategy.
The invested capital will earn a return through the addition of incremental rent to the Venetian Lease.
The up to $700.0 million of funding through our Partner Property Growth Fund strategy is comprised of $400.0 million that has already been funded and an incremental $300.0 million that the Venetian Resort will have the option, but not the obligation, to draw in whole or in part until November 1, 2026.
The initial $400.0 million investment was funded based on a fixed schedule: $100.0 million was funded in the second quarter of 2024, $150.0 million was funded in the third quarter of 2024 and $150.0 million was funded on October 1, 2024.
The previous Property Growth Fund Agreement entered into with the tenant in connection with the Venetian Resort acquisition providing for up to $1.0 billion of future development and construction project funding was terminated on May 1, 2024 concurrently with the entry into the agreement to fund the Venetian Capital Investment.
In connection with the Venetian Capital Investment, annual rent under the Venetian Lease will increase commencing on the first day of the quarter immediately following each capital funding at a 7.25% yield (the “Incremental Venetian Rent”).
In addition to any increase pursuant to the Incremental Venetian Rent, annual rent under the Venetian Lease will begin escalating annually at 2.0% on March 1, 2029 and, commencing on March 1, 2031, will begin escalating on the same terms as the rest of the rent payable under the Venetian Lease with annual escalation equal to the greater of 2.0% or CPI, capped at 3.0%.

- Senior Notes Offerings.
◦On December 19, 2024, VICI LP issued $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes due 2031, which mature on November 15, 2031 under a supplemental indenture (the “December 2024 Notes”).
- Forward-Starting Interest Rate Swap Agreements.
In connection with our December 2024 Notes offering, we settled the outstanding forward-starting interest rate swap agreements and U.S. Treasury Rate Lock agreements resulting in net proceeds of $6.8 million.
◦During the year ended December 31, 2024, we entered into four forward-starting interest rate swap agreements for an aggregate notional amount of $200.0 million to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates from the trade date through the forecasted issuance of senior unsecured notes expected to be issued in connection with the refinancing of our senior unsecured notes maturing in May 2025.
These four forward-starting interest rate swap agreements were outstanding as of December 31, 2024.
With respect to our lease agreements, which generally provide for annual rent escalation based on a specified percentage increase and/or increases in CPI, we expect that current inflation levels will result in additional rent increases over time under our CPI-based lease provisions (subject to any applicable caps or periods in which such provisions do not apply).
However, these rent increases may not match increasing inflation during periods when inflation rates are greater than the applicable CPI-
based caps.

Across approximately 127 million square feet, our well-maintained properties
This portfolio includes certain real estate debt investments which were originated for strategic purposes, including (i) the potential to convert our investment into the ownership of the underlying real estate, (ii) the opportunity to develop relationships with owners and operators that may lead to other investments in experiential asset classes that fit within our investment policies and objectives, and (iii) the ability to make investments in experiential asset classes outside of gaming with a goal of increasing our investment activity in these asset classes over time.
- Significant scale and stable cash flows. We are one of the largest triple net lease REITs with over $4.0 billion in revenues in 2025 and 100% rent collection since formation (including through COVID).
- Mission critical complex real estate.
The significant complexity and high replacement cost of our assets, combined with the gaming regulatory environment in which certain properties operate, create high barriers to entry that contribute to our current 100% occupancy rate.
- Non-commodity experiential real estate. Our triple-net lease model for non-commodity experiential assets allows for operators to unlock their real estate value while providing us with sustained and sustainable rental growth.
- Contractual escalation with inflation protection. As of December 31, 2025, 42% of our full-year 2025 rent and 90% of our rent over the long-term feature CPI-linked escalation (subject to applicable caps).
- Tenant transparency. As of December 31, 2025, 79% of our rent is derived from SEC reporting operators providing transparency into tenant performance and credit quality.
- Investment-grade balance sheet. We have investment-grade ratings from all three major credit rating agencies, which broadens our access across capital markets and supports a stronger cost of capital.
- S&P 500 constituent. We were added to the S&P 500 Index in June 2022, representing the shortest time from IPO to S&P 500 Index inclusion for any REIT.
Our Framework for Exploring Experiential Real Estate Sectors
We seek to investigate, validate and potentially invest in sectors that feature these fundamental characteristics:
- Low cyclicality: Sectors that demonstrate relatively lower cyclicality than other consumer discretionary sectors, with a balance between drive-to and fly-to destinations, enabling customer activation during economic downturns.
- Compelling place-based experiences: Sectors that offer experiences that generate in-person demand and destination-based consumer loyalty.
- Experiential durability and longevity: Sectors with innovative operators who generate enduring and diverse experiences appealing to multiple demographics.
- Favorable supply / demand balance: Sectors for which supply growth is difficult and/or costly to achieve, whether due to regulatory considerations, initial entry costs or other barriers to entry.
- Economic dynamism: Sectors with operators that demonstrate a “cash-register-rich” experiential operating model driving multiple revenue streams and a strong mix of demand generators.

This portfolio includes certain real estate debt investments that we have originated for strategic reasons, primarily in connection with transactions that either do or may provide the potential to convert our investment into the ownership of certain of the underlying real estate in the future.
Following our growth and resulting scale, we were added to the S&P 500 Index in June 2022.
- Stable and transparent cash flows by leading operators. Our properties are 100% occupied pursuant to our long-term triple-net lease agreements, which provide us with a predictable level of rental revenue to support future cash distributions to our stockholders, with 100% rent collection since our formation in October 2017.
Our tenants are market-leading gaming and experiential operators, with the majority of our rent derived from properties operated by SEC reporting companies, providing transparency into our tenants’ performance and health.
- Contractual escalation with inflation protection. All of our lease agreements provide for annual base rent escalations, which may be fixed or variable over the life of the lease.
The rent escalation provisions range from providing for a flat annual increase of 1% to 2% to an annual increase of 1% in the earlier years and the greater of 2% or the U.S consumer price index (“CPI”) in the later years, which may be subject to a maximum CPI-based cap with respect to each annual rent increase.
As of December, 31, 2024, 40% of our annualized rental revenue was subject to CPI-linked escalation.
- Mission critical complex real estate. Our portfolio benefits from a strong mix of demand generators, including casinos, hotels, restaurants, entertainment facilities, bars and nightclubs and convention space.
Our Las Vegas properties, including Caesars Palace Las Vegas, MGM Grand and the Venetian Resort, which are located on the Las Vegas Strip, are among the most iconic entertainment facilities in Las Vegas, featuring gaming entertainment, large-scale hotels, extensive food and beverage options, state-of-the-art convention facilities, retail outlets and entertainment venues.
The size, use and location of our real estate drives our tenants’ continued investment into our leased properties, which “same-store” capital improvements we seek to fund in exchange for increased rent through our Partner Property Growth Fund strategy.
Additionally, the gaming regulatory environment in which we operate creates a high barrier to entry and limits our tenants’ ability to move locations.
- Strategic financing relationships with leading experiential operators. In addition to our relationships with leading gaming operators, we have entered into strategic financing relationships with other experiential operators in sectors such as world-class destination golf resorts and communities, integrative wellness centers, premier sports and entertainment complexes and family-oriented indoor waterpark resorts, which we refer to as our VICI Experiential Credit Solutions strategy.
We believe the relationships established through this strategy may lead to additional
mutually beneficial growth opportunities with these industry-leading experiential operators in the future, including the potential to convert certain of our investments into ownership of the underlying real estate.

Prior to December 31, 2024, we had certain rights pursuant to a put-call right agreement with Caesars (the “Caesars Indianapolis Put-Call Agreement”) with respect to two gaming facilities in Indiana, Harrah’s Hoosier Park and Horseshoe Indianapolis, whereby either party was able to trigger its respective put or call on the associated land and real estate assets, as applicable, through December 31, 2024.
The Caesars Indianapolis Put-Call Agreement was not exercised by either party and terminated on December 31, 2024.
Most recently, on May 1, 2024, we entered into agreements to fund up to $700.0 million of capital investment into the Venetian Resort for several reinvestment projects (the “Venetian Capital Investment”), which funding is earning a return through the addition of incremental rent to the Venetian Lease.
The up to $700.0 million of funding through our Partner Property Growth Fund strategy is comprised of $400.0 million that has already been funded and an incremental $300.0 million that the Venetian Resort will have the option, but not the obligation, to draw in whole or in part until November 1, 2026.

- Golf Courses. We have implemented recording and reporting protocols through a third-party service provider to facilitate the monitoring of utility data in order to more fully understand the environmental impact of our operations, key drivers and trends with respect to utility usage at each of our courses and identify opportunities to improve sustainability performance, including with respect to energy and water consumption, recycling and waste, and promoting biodiversity.
- Triple-Net Portfolio. We continue to pursue tenant engagement initiatives designed to assist us in understanding the environmental impact of our leased properties, collecting environmental sustainability data in order to monitor sustainability metrics throughout our leased property portfolio, and encouraging our tenants to pursue sustainability initiatives in their operations at our leased properties.
With the assistance of an environmental due diligence provider and consultant, we have performed, and expect to continue to perform on a
periodic basis, climate-related risk assessments with respect to our property portfolio.

Upon the effectiveness of Mr. Waxman’s appointment on March 1, 2026, Gabriel F.
Wasserman will cease serving in his capacity as the Company’s Chief Accounting Officer (and principal accounting officer) and will remain with the Company in an expanded role as Managing Director, Business Development and VICI Experiential Credit Solutions.
Amended and Restated Employment Agreements
On February 25, 2026, the Company and VICI LP entered into amended and restated employment agreements with each of the Company’s named executive officers: Edward B.
Pitoniak (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer), John W.R. Payne (the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer), David A.
Kieske (the Company’s Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer), and Samantha S.
Gallagher (the Company’s Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary) (each, an “Amended and Restated Employment Agreement” and, together, the “Amended and Restated Employment Agreements”).
The Amended and Restated Employment Agreements are substantially similar to the named executive officers’ prior employment agreements, as described in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2025 (together, the “Prior Employment Agreements”), but reflect several updates, including: (i) removal of the fixed term in the Prior Employment Agreements and related non-renewal (and severance upon non-renewal) provisions, (ii) clarification that no annual equity award will be made to a named executive officer if notice of his or her retirement (or other termination) has been given before the annual grant date, and (iii) application of a 12-month non-competition and non-solicitation covenants following any cessation of employment (as compared to shorter periods that in certain cases could have applied under the Prior Employment Agreements).
In addition, the annual base salaries, target annual bonus opportunities and maximum annual bonus opportunities under the Amended and Restated Employment Agreements are updated to reflect those in effect for the 2026 compensation year for Messrs.
Pitoniak, Payne, Kieske and Ms. Gallagher, which are: (a) annual base salaries of $1,000,000, $1,200,000, $670,000, and $648,000, respectively; (b) target annual bonus opportunities (as a percentage of base salary) of 225%, 135%, 150%, and 150%, respectively; and (c) maximum annual bonus opportunities (as a percentage of base salary) of 450%, 270%, 300%, and 300%, respectively.
Except for items that are personal to an executive (such as title/role, annual base salary, target and maximum annual bonus opportunities and severance multiple), each named executive officer’s Amended and Restated Employment Agreement is substantially identical to the other named executive officers’ Amended and Restated Employment Agreements.
Each Amended and Restated Employment Agreement is effective as of February 25, 2026 and will continue in effect until the executive’s employment is terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreements is summary in nature, does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the complete text of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.39, 10.40, 10.41 and 10.42 and incorporated by reference herein.
