On April 4, 2018, MGM Growth Properties Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”), a subsidiary of MGM Growth Properties LLC (the “Company”), along with MGP OH, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership (“MGP OH”), entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Milstein Entertainment LLC, an Ohio limited liability company, and Brock Milstein, which provides for, among other things, the purchase by MGP OH of all of the membership interests of Northfield Park Associates, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company that owns the real estate assets and operations of the Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park for total consideration of $1,062,500,000 on a debt free, cash free basis, subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment. The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities by the parties to such agreement and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of applicable gaming approvals. In addition, the Agreement contains certain termination rights, including by either party in the event the customary closing conditions are not fulfilled within six months of signing the Agreement, subject to two 90-day extensions.

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Agreement were made only for purposes of the Agreement and as of the specific date (or dates) set forth therein, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Agreement and are subject to certain limitations as agreed upon by the contracting parties. In addition, the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Agreement may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors.
