Material Changes
The primary material change is the execution of a Voting Agreement on April 3, 2026. Key terms include:
- Voting Restriction: IAC, Barry Diller, and their controlled affiliates (Covered Entities) must vote any securities exceeding 25.73% of total voting power in proportion to the votes cast by other stockholders.
- Director Nomination Rights: The agreement includes a condition requiring the Board to nominate two directors designated by IAC (Qualified Directors) to prevent automatic termination.
- Exemption for Diller Entities: Barry Diller's entities (excluding IAC) may be exempt from voting restrictions if he ceases to serve as Chairman or Senior Executive of IAC and his entities no longer own at least one-third of IAC's voting power.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not contain financial guidance, outlook, or management commentary on operational performance. The primary contingency is the automatic termination of the Voting Agreement upon the earliest of:

- Failure of the Board to nominate two IAC-designated Qualified Directors.
- A change of control of the Company.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact percentage of MGM voting securities currently held by IAC and Barry Diller to confirm the "Excess Voting Securities" threshold.
- Confirm the current composition of the MGM Board of Directors to ensure compliance with the two-designated-director requirement.
- Review the full text of the Voting Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific definitions of "Covered Entities" and "Qualified Director."
- Monitor future filings for any changes in IAC's ownership stake that could trigger the 17.5% termination clause.
