On September 11, 2003, the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority (the “Authority”) commenced a solicitation of consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of its outstanding $200,000,000 principal amount of 8-1/8% Senior Notes due 2006, $150,000,000 principal amount of 8-3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 and $250,000,000 principal amount of 8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (collectively, the “Notes”) to amend the indentures for the Notes. The purpose of the proposed amendments is to conform certain provisions of the indentures governing the Notes to the applicable provisions of the Authority’s most recent indenture entered into in July 2003 in connection with the issuance of its 6-3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009.
The fee to be paid for each consent properly delivered and not revoked prior to the expiration of the Consent Solicitation is $5.00 in cash for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes. The Consent Solicitation will expire at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on Tuesday, September 23, 2003, unless extended.
On September 11, 2003, the Authority issued a press release relating to the commencement of the Consent Solicitation.
