Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On May 28, 2018, MGM Growth Properties LLC (the “Company”), MGM Resorts International (“MGM Resorts”), MGM Growth Properties Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”), MGP Lessor, LLC (the “Landlord”) and MGM Lessee, LLC, entered into a master transaction agreement (the “Master Transaction Agreement”), which provides for, among other things (subject to and following the acquisition by MGM Resorts of Empire City Casino (as defined below)), the transfer of the interests in a newly acquired subsidiary that holds the developed real estate assets (the “Property”) related to the Empire City Casino (“Empire City”) located in Yonkers, New York from a subsidiary of MGM Resorts to the Landlord, a subsidiary of the Company. A subsidiary of MGM Resorts will operate Empire City. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Master Transaction Agreement, the Company will purchase from MGM Resorts its interests in the Property for total consideration of $625 million, which will consist of the assumption by the Operating Partnership of approximately $245 million of indebtedness from a subsidiary of MGM Resorts with the remainder of the consideration satisfied through the issuance of Operating Partnership units based on a price per unit of $29.38 (the last closing price of the Class A common shares prior to announcement). The Operating Partnership units are exchangeable into the Company’s Class A shares on a one-to-one basis or cash at the fair value of a Class A share. The determination of settlement method is at the option of the Company’s independent conflicts committee.
