Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure.
On September 24, 2003, the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority (the “Authority”) announced that it has extended and amended its pending 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 expiration date for the Consent Solicitation has been extended from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Tuesday, September 23, 2003, to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Thursday, September 25, 2003.
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 “6 3/8% Notes”). However, as a result of the amendment of the Consent Solicitation, certain provisions of the indentures governing the Notes will continue to be more restrictive than the corresponding provisions of the indenture for the 6 3/8% Notes.
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.
On September 24, 2003, the Authority issued a press release relating to the extension and amendment of the Consent Solicitation. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. This press release may also be found on the Authority’s website at www.mohegansun.com under “About Mohegan Sun/Investor Relations.”
