The Story

Real estate investment trust (REIT) MGM Growth Properties (MGP) has expressed its desire to acquire VICI Properties, the REIT of Caesars Entertainment. MGP is dangling an offer to acquire 100% of VICI's outstanding shares to expedite the deal.

 

But VICI Properties was not impressed with the offer.

MGP's all-stock deal would value VICI shares at $19.50 each and would leave VICI shareholders owning 43% of the combined company. MGP claimed the deal would create “the largest triple-net lease REIT and a top 15 public REIT in the [resource management zone] by enterprise value.” But VICI Properties was brutally honest enough to say no, saying it has “elected not to engage in meaningful discussions.”
