On May 1, 2017, MGM Growth Properties Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”), a subsidiary of MGM Growth Properties LLC (the “Company”), the other loan parties and lenders named therein and Bank of America, N.A.

The Amendment reduced the interest rate applicable to the Operating Partnership’s $1.832 billion Term B Facility (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to 1.25% per annum for Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and 2.25% per annum for Eurodollar Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and removed the LIBOR floor applicable to such Term B Facility (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
