VICI Properties Inc. Completes Sale-Leaseback of Canadian Portfolio in Connection With Pure Casino Entertainment’s Acquisition of Gamehost

Key Terms

sale-leaseback financial

A sale-leaseback is a deal where an owner sells an asset—commonly real estate or equipment—to another party and immediately rents it back so they can keep using it. For investors, it matters because the seller converts a fixed asset into cash without disrupting operations, which can boost liquidity or pay down debt but also creates ongoing lease payments and long-term obligations that affect cash flow and the balance sheet.

triple-net master lease financial

A triple-net master lease is a long-term rental agreement that covers a group of properties (or an entire property portfolio) under a single contract where the tenant pays base rent plus property taxes, insurance, and most maintenance costs. For investors, it matters because it provides steadier, more predictable cash flow and shifts many operating risks to the tenant, which can raise or stabilize a property’s value but reduce the landlord’s upside from cost savings.

multicurrency revolving credit facility financial

A multicurrency revolving credit facility is a bank line of credit that lets a company borrow, repay and borrow again up to a set limit in more than one currency, much like a business credit card that works in different countries. It matters to investors because it provides short‑term cash flexibility, helps manage currency needs and interest costs, and reduces the risk of running short of funds — all of which affect a company’s liquidity and financial stability.

take-private acquisition financial

A take-private acquisition is when one party buys all the outstanding shares of a publicly traded company so it becomes privately owned and its stock is removed from public exchanges. For investors, it usually means shareholders receive cash or a buyout price (often at a premium) and lose ongoing ability to trade the shares; for remaining stakeholders it can change transparency, reporting and control—like a neighborhood business being bought and run behind closed doors.

(NYSE: VICI) (“VICI Properties” or the “Company”), an experiential real estate investment trust, today announced the completion of the previously announced transaction to acquire the real estate assets of Deerfoot Inn & Casino, Great Northern Casino and two limited-service hotels that are adjacent to the Great Northern Casino (collectively, the “Portfolio”) located in Alberta, Canada, for CAD$200.6 million / USD$144.4 million (the “Real Estate Transaction”), in connection with the closing of Pure Casino Entertainment Limited Partnership’s (“PURE”) take-private acquisition of Gamehost Inc.

The Portfolio rent will escalate at 1.0% on February 1, 2028, and escalation will conform to the PURE Master Lease thereafter at the greater of 1.5% or the change in Canadian CPI (capped at 2.5%).

Additionally, the term of the PURE Master Lease was extended such that the PURE Master Lease has a full 25-year initial base lease term, with four 5-year tenant renewal options.

The tenants’ obligations under the PURE Master Lease continue to be guaranteed by Indigenous Gaming Partners, Inc.
