Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 19, 2024, VICI Properties L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“VICI LP”), completed the previously announced offering of $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”).

 

VICI LP intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay its outstanding $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.500% senior notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”). VICI LP expects to redeem the 2025 Notes on December 20, 2024 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued interest to the redemption date. The 2025 Notes bear interest at 3.500% per annum and mature on February 15, 2025.

 

The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of April 29, 2022 (the “Base Indenture”), between VICI LP, as issuer, and UMB Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 19, 2024 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between VICI LP and the Trustee.

 

The Notes were issued at 99.643% of par value with a coupon of 5.125% per annum.

 

Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on May 15, 2025.

 

The Notes will mature on November 15, 2031. The Notes are VICI LP’s unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of VICI LP’s existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

 

The Notes are not guaranteed by VICI Properties Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”). As of the issue date, the Notes are not guaranteed by any subsidiary of VICI LP. However, under limited circumstances, the Indenture requires certain of VICI LP’s subsidiaries to guarantee the obligations under the Notes in the future if, and for so long as, any such subsidiary guarantees VICI LP’s obligations under the Credit Agreement, dated as of February 8, 2022, among VICI LP, the lenders from time to time party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, as it may be amended from time to time.

 

Prior to September 15, 2031 (two months prior to the maturity date), the Notes may be redeemed at VICI LP’s option, in whole or in part, at the applicable redemption price specified in the Indenture. In addition, on or after September 15, 2031 (two months prior to the maturity date), the Notes may be redeemed at VICI LP’s option, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

 

The Notes also benefit from a pledge of the limited partnership interests of VICI LP directly owned by VICI Properties OP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“VICI OP”, and such pledge, the “Limited Equity Pledge”). The Limited Equity Pledge secures the payment and performance when due of all of the obligations of VICI LP under the Notes and the Indenture.

 

The Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of VICI LP, subject to exceptions, to incur secured and unsecured indebtedness and to consummate a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its assets. In addition, the Indenture requires VICI LP to maintain total unencumbered assets of at least 150% of total unsecured indebtedness. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. The Indenture also provides for customary events of default which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal of and accrued interest on the Notes to become due and payable.

 

 

The foregoing description is a summary of the terms of the Indenture and the Notes and does not purport to be complete. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Base Indenture and the Third Supplemental Indenture (including the forms of Notes), copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1 through 4.3 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

The offering was made pursuant to an automatic shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 18, 2022  (File No. 333-264352-01) by the Company and VICI LP, and a base prospectus, dated April 18, 2022, a related preliminary prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on December 9, 2024, and a related final prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on December 10, 2024 by VICI LP pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

 

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the date of the notice of redemption based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appears or appear, as applicable, after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)–H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

 

 

If on the third Business Day preceding the date of the notice of redemption H.15 TCM or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Issuer shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the date of the notice of redemption of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to the Par Call Date. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Issuer shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

 

“Unrestricted Cash” means, as of any date of determination, all cash and Cash Equivalents included in the balance sheets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries as of such date that, in each case, are free and clear of all Liens that do not secure Indebtedness for borrowed money.

 

“Unsecured Debt” means, for any Person, any Indebtedness of such Person or its Subsidiaries which is not Secured Indebtedness.

 

“VICI OP” means VICI Properties OP LLC and its permitted successors and assigns.

 

“VICI REIT” means VICI Properties Inc. and its permitted successors and assigns.

 

“Voting Stock” means with respect to any Person, Capital Stock of any class or kind ordinarily having the power to vote for the election of directors, managers or other voting members of the governing body of such Person.

 

Section 1.2         Creation of Notes. In accordance with Section 301 of the Base Indenture, the Issuer hereby creates a series of Notes as a separate series of its Securities, entitled “5.125% Senior Notes due 2031” issued pursuant to the Indenture. Subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 301(3) of the Base Indenture and Section 1.6 hereof, the Notes shall initially be limited to an aggregate principal amount equal to $750,000,000.

 

Section 1.3         Form of Notes. The Notes shall be issued in the form of one or more permanent fully registered global securities (each, a “Global Note,” and collectively, the “Global Notes”), that will be deposited with, or on behalf of the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, subject to Section 305 of the Base Indenture. So long as the Depository, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a Global Note, the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole Holder of such Note represented by such Global Note for all purposes under the Indenture.

 

 

Section 1.4         Certain Terms and Provisions of the Notes. The Notes shall be governed by all of the terms and provisions of the Base Indenture, as supplemented by this Third Supplemental Indenture, and in particular, the following provisions shall be terms of the Notes:

 

(a)            Registration and Form. The Notes shall be issuable in fully registered, book-entry form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest from the date specified on the face of the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto.

 

(b)            Payment of Principal and Interest. All payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of the Global Notes will be made by the Issuer in immediately available funds to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the Holder of each of the Global Notes. The Notes shall mature, and the unpaid principal thereon, shall be payable, on November 15, 2031, subject to the provisions of the Base Indenture. The rate per annum at which interest shall be payable on the Notes shall be 5.125%. Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on each May 15 and November 15, commencing May 15, 2025 (each, a “Notes Interest Payment Date”) and, unless earlier redeemed pursuant to Section 1.5, on the Stated Maturity of the Notes as specified in this Section 1.4(b), to the Persons in whose names the Notes are registered in the Security Register applicable to the Notes at the close of business on May 1 for the Notes Interest Payment Dates of May 15 and November 1 for the Notes Interest Payment Dates of November 15 (in each case, whether or not a Business Day) (each such date being a “Record Date”). Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from December 19, 2024.

 

(c)            Price to Public. The initial Notes will be issued at a public offering price of 99.643% of the principal amount thereof.

 

(d)            Sinking Fund. The Notes will not be entitled to the benefits of, or be subject to, any sinking fund.

 

Section 1.5         Redemption of the Notes.

 

(a)            Redemption at the Option of the Issuer.

 

(1)       Prior to the Par Call Date, the Issuer may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

 

(A)            (i) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points, less (ii) interest accrued to the Redemption Date; and

 

(B)            100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed;

 

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

 

On or after the Par Call Date, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Redemption Date falls after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Issuer will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date (instead of the Holder surrendering its Notes for redemption). The Issuer shall not redeem the Notes pursuant to this Section 1.5(a) if on any date the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded or cured on or prior to such date.

 

 

(b)            Gaming Redemption. If any Gaming Authority requires that a Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes must be licensed, qualified or found suitable under any applicable Gaming Laws and such Holder or Beneficial Owner:

 

(1)            fails to apply for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability within thirty (30) days (or such shorter period as may be required by the applicable Gaming Authority) after being requested to do so by the Gaming Authority, or

 

(2)            is denied such license or qualification or not found suitable, or if any Gaming Authority otherwise requires that Notes from any Holder or Beneficial Owner be redeemed (the receipt of notice from a Gaming Authority of any of the foregoing events are collectively referred to herein as “Gaming Redemption Events”), subject to applicable Gaming Laws, the Issuer will have the right, at its option:

 

(a)            to require any such Holder or Beneficial Owner to dispose of its Notes within thirty (30) days (or such earlier date as may be required by the applicable Gaming Authority) of a Gaming Redemption Event, or

 

(b)            to call for the redemption of the Notes of such Holder or Beneficial Owner at a Redemption Price equal to the least of:

 

(i)            the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the earlier of the Redemption Date or the date of a Gaming Redemption Event,

 

(ii)           the price at which such Holder or Beneficial Owner acquired the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the earlier of the Redemption Date or the date of a Gaming Redemption Event, or

 

(iii)          such other lesser amount as may be required by any Gaming Authority.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Redemption Date falls after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Issuer will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date (instead of the Holder surrendering its Notes for redemption).

 

The Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of any such redemption pursuant to this Section 1.5(b) as soon as practicable. The Holder or Beneficial Owner applying for license, qualification or a finding of suitability must pay all costs of the licensure or investigation for such qualification or finding of suitability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Third Supplemental Indenture, immediately upon a Gaming Redemption Event, such Person shall, to the extent required by applicable Gaming Laws, have no further right (i) to exercise, directly or indirectly, through any trustee, nominee or any other person or entity, any right conferred by such Notes, or (ii) to receive any interest, dividends or any other distributions or payments with respect to such Notes or any remuneration in any form with respect to such Notes from the Issuer or the Trustee, except the Redemption Price. Notwithstanding anything in the Base Indenture to the contrary, notices of redemption may be sent or given less than ten (10) days or more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date if so required by any applicable Gaming Authority in connection with a redemption pursuant to this Section 1.5(b).

 

 

(c)            Payment of Notes Called for Redemption by the Issuer.

 

(1)            If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Article Eleven of the Base Indenture for the Notes, such Notes or portion of such Notes with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the Redemption Price, and unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Notes at the Redemption Price, so long as the Paying Agent holds funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of such Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, then (a) such Notes will cease to be Outstanding on and after the Redemption Date, (b) interest on the Notes or portion of Notes so called for redemption shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, and (c) the Holders of the Notes shall have no right in respect of such Notes except the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Notes at a place of payment in said notice specified, the said Notes or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the Redemption Price, together with interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

 

(2)            The Notes will not be convertible or exchangeable for any other security or property.

 

Section 1.6         Additional Issues. The Issuer may, from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue further securities having the same terms and conditions, except for any difference in the issue date, issue price, interest accrued prior to the issue date of the additional Notes, and, if applicable, the first Interest Payment Date and the initial interest accrual date, with the same CUSIP number as the Notes so long as such additional Notes are fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with such previously outstanding Notes. Any additional Notes would rank equally and ratably in right of payment and shall be consolidated with and shall form a single series with the previously outstanding Notes.

 

Section 1.7         Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 1.7 shall apply only to the Global Notes deposited with or on behalf of the Depository.

 

(a)            The Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 1.7 and Section 303 of the Base Indenture, authenticate and deliver the Global Notes that shall be registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and shall be held by the Trustee as custodian for the Depository.

 

(b)            Participants of the Depository shall have no rights either under the Indenture or with respect to the Global Notes. The Depository or its nominee, as applicable, shall be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of each such Global Note for all purposes under the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or its nominee, as applicable, or impair, as between the Depository and its participants, the operation of customary practices of such depository governing the exercise of the rights of an owner of a beneficial interest in the Global Notes.

REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE

 

VICI PROPERTIES L.P.
5.125% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2031

 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its 5.125% Senior Notes due 2031 (herein called the “Notes”), issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of April 29, 2022 (herein called the “Base Indenture”), between the Issuer and UMB Bank, National Association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 19, 2024 (herein called the “Third Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and the Trustee, to which Indenture and any indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Notes. Defined terms used but not otherwise defined in this Note shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Base Indenture.

 

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5), 501(6) or 501(7) of the Base Indenture) occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes may be declared to be due and payable by either the Trustee or the Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and, upon said declaration the same shall be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5), 501(6) or 501(7) of the Base Indenture occurs, the principal of and premium, if any, and interest accrued and unpaid on all the Notes shall be immediately and automatically due and payable without necessity of further action.

 

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture with respect to the Notes or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes, subject to exceptions set forth in Section 902 of the Base Indenture. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any past default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes, subject to exceptions set forth in the Indenture.

 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall impair, as among the Issuer and the Holder of the Notes, the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, on and interest on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.

 

Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

 

The Notes are issuable in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and any multiple of $1,000. At the office or agency of the Issuer referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without payment of any service charge but with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, Notes may be transferred or may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of any other authorized denominations.

 

The Issuer shall have the right to redeem the Notes under certain circumstances as set forth in Section 1.5 of the Third Supplemental Indenture and Article Eleven of Base Indenture.

 

The Notes are not subject to redemption through the operation of any sinking fund.

 

Except to the extent expressly provided in Article Sixteen of the Base Indenture and Articles Three and Four of the Third Supplemental Indenture, no recourse for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Issuer in the Indenture or any supplemental indenture or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any past, present or future general partner, limited partner, member, employee, incorporator, controlling person, stockholder, officer, director or agent, as such, of the Issuer, the Company or any Possible Future Guarantor, or of any of the Issuer’s, the Company’s or any Possible Future Guarantor’s predecessors or successors, either directly or through the Issuer, the Company or any Possible Future Guarantor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of the Notes by the Holders thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.
