Business Wire
VICI Properties Inc. (NYSE: VICI) (the “Company”, “VICI” or
“VICI Properties”) announced today that it has originated a $250
million mezzanine loan (the “Mezzanine Loan”) as part of a $1.55
billion financing that also includes a single borrower group CMBS
securitization (the “Great Wolf Loan”) for Great Wolf Resorts, Inc.
(“Great Wolf”) through its VICI Experiential Credit Solutions
strategy. The Great Wolf Loan will be collateralized by a portfolio
of nine Great Wolf Lodge resorts with over 4,000 keys,
approximately 695,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor waterpark
space, 59 F&B outlets and nearly 80,000 square feet of meeting
space.
The Mezzanine Loan will have an annual fixed rate and an initial
term of two years with three 12-month extension options, subject to
the satisfaction of certain conditions. In connection with the
Great Wolf Loan origination, Great Wolf repaid VICI’s $79.5 million
mezzanine loan for Great Wolf Lodge Maryland. The remaining $170.5
million capital commitment was funded with cash.
David Kieske, Chief Financial Officer of VICI Properties, said,
“Since our announcement to partner with Great Wolf to support the
development of resorts in 2021, we have committed over $720 million
of capital to the Great Wolf team, including the impact of the
repayment of the Great Wolf Lodge Maryland loan. We are proud to
deepen our relationship with Great Wolf and believe the commitment
announced today exemplifies our partner-oriented capital solutions
approach.”
Gabriel Wasserman, Chief Accounting Officer and Managing
Director of VICI Experiential Credit Solutions, said, “Through VICI
Experiential Credit Solutions, we believe we can successfully
recycle and deploy capital at attractive yields and spreads to our
cost of capital. VICI’s ability to provide multiple solutions
across the capital stack, including development and mezzanine
loans, allows us to invest alongside our partners in sectors
experiencing secular tailwinds, as seen with Great Wolf in the
indoor waterpark resort industry.”
