| Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On December 9, 2024, VICI Properties Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and VICI Properties L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“VICI LP”), entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Barclays Capital Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters listed on Schedule I thereto (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which VICI LP agreed to issue and sell $750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”).
The Notes will be issued at 99.643% of par value with a coupon of 5.125% per annum. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing May 15, 2025.
The Notes will mature on November 15, 2031. VICI LP estimates that the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $740.1 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and other estimated offering expenses payable by VICI LP. The offering is expected to close on December 19, 2024 subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The offering was made pursuant to an automatic shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 18, 2022 (File No. 333-264352-01), a base prospectus, dated April 18, 2022 and a prospectus supplement, dated December 9, 2024 and filed by VICI LP with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
VICI LP intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay its outstanding $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.500% senior notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) and any remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include the acquisition and improvement of properties, capital expenditures, working capital and the repayment or refinancing of indebtedness.
If any of the underwriters or their affiliates are holders of the 2025 Notes, such underwriters or affiliates will receive a portion of the net proceeds from this offering used to repay such notes. Additionally, some of the underwriters or their affiliates may hold other indebtedness of ours. To the extent that we use net proceeds from this offering to repay the 2025 Notes or other indebtedness of ours, held by any of the underwriters or their affiliates, more than 5% of the net proceeds of this offering (not including underwriting discounts and commissions) may be received by such underwriters and such affiliates.
Under the Underwriting Agreement, the Company and VICI LP made certain customary representations, warranties and covenants concerning the Company, VICI LP and the registration statement, and the Company and VICI LP have also agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities and/or to contribute to payments that the Underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities. Certain of the Underwriters and their respective affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory, commercial banking and investment banking services for the Company, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.
The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
Hogan Lovells US LLP, counsel to the Company and VICI LP, has issued an opinion to the Company and VICI LP dated December 10, 2024 regarding the legality of the Notes. A copy of the opinion is filed as Exhibit 5.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
