| Section 2 | Financial Information |
| Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
The Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority d/b/a Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment (“MGE”) today issued a press release announcing the operating results for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2017. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The press release and related information also may be found on MGE’s website atwww.mohegangaming.com, under the “Financial Information/Financial Updates” section.
Subsequent to the issuance of the press release, MGE discovered an inadvertent error contained in the section entitled “Other Information—Interest Expense” relating to the calculation of the weighted average outstanding debt of MGE for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. Weighted average outstanding debt of MGE for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 was approximately $1.72 billion, as opposed to $1.82 billion as indicated in the press release and, thus, weighted average interest rate for the quarter was approximately 6.7%, instead of 6.3% as indicated in the press release. Accordingly, the section of the press release entitled “Other Information—Interest Expense” should read as follows:
“Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased by $1.7 million, or 5.7%, to $28.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 compared to $30.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The reduction in interest expense was attributable to MGE’s October 2016 refinancing and April 2017 repricing transactions. Weighted average interest rate was 6.7% for each of the quarters ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. Weighted average outstanding debt was $1.72 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 compared to $1.79 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2017.”
