Note 1— Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are those set out in VICI’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. VICI’s management has determined that there were no significant accounting policy differences between VICI and MGP and, therefore, no adjustments are necessary to conform MGP’s financial statements to the accounting policies used by VICI in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, other than those reclassification adjustments required to confirm with VICI’s classifications described in Note 2. This conclusion is subject to change as further assessment is performed and finalized for purchase accounting.
In accordance with (“ASC”) 805—“Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), management determined that the acquisition of MGP does not meet the definition of a business and is accordingly accounted for as an asset acquisition under ASC 805-50. Further, as part of the application of ASC 805, VICI will conduct a more detailed review of MGP’s accounting policies in an effort to determine if differences in accounting policies require further reclassification or adjustment of MGP’s results of operations or reclassification or adjustment of assets or liabilities to conform to VICI’s accounting policies and classifications. Therefore, VICI may identify additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. In certain cases, the information necessary to evaluate the differences in accounting policies and the impacts thereof may not be available until after the MGP Transactions are completed.
Note 2—Reclassification Adjustments
In these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the MGP historical financial statement line items include the reclassification of certain historical balances to conform to the VICI presentation of these items, as described below. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported total assets, total liabilities, stockholders’ equity or income from continuing operations of VICI or MGP.
