Rhea-AI Filing Summary

IAC Inc. entered into a Voting Agreement with MGM Resorts International and Barry Diller governing how IAC’s large MGM stake is voted and how board representation is handled. As of the agreement date, IAC beneficially owns 66,822,350 MGM common shares.

Any MGM voting securities held by IAC, Mr. Diller and their controlled affiliates that exceed 25.73% of MGM’s total voting power must be voted in the same proportion as other MGM stockholders on each matter. The agreement ends if the covered holders’ ownership falls below 17.5% of MGM voting securities, if the MGM board fails to nominate two qualified IAC‑designated directors, or upon a change of control at MGM. MGM must add IAC‑designated qualified directors within one month when fewer than two are serving, subject to regulatory approvals.

Insights

IAC formalizes limits on MGM voting power while securing board representation rights.

The agreement commits IAC, Barry Diller and their affiliates to vote any MGM shares above 25.73% of total voting power in line with other shareholders. This caps effective voting influence from their large position while preserving economic ownership.

In exchange, MGM agrees that two IAC‑designated, qualified directors can be nominated to its board, with a requirement to add such directors within one month when fewer than two are serving, subject to regulatory approvals. The agreement ends if ownership drops below 17.5% of MGM voting securities, the nomination right is not honored, or a change of control occurs.

The structure balances MGM’s desire to avoid disproportionate control with IAC’s interest in board access. Future corporate actions at MGM may be influenced by this proportional voting and the continued presence of IAC’s designees on the board.

Excess Voting Securities financial
"constitute in excess of 25.73% of the total voting power ... (the “Excess Voting Securities”)"
Change of Control financial
"and (iii) the occurrence of a change of control of MGM."
A change of control occurs when the ownership or management of a company shifts significantly, such as through a sale, merger, or acquisition, resulting in new leadership or ownership structure. This change can impact the company's direction and decision-making, which is important for investors because it may affect the company's stability, strategy, and future prospects.
Beneficial Ownership financial
"IAC Beneficially Owns (as defined below) 66,822,350 shares of the Company’s common stock"
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
Voting Securities financial
"Voting Securities means, at any time, the shares of any class or series of capital stock"
Voting Cap Threshold financial
"“Voting Cap Threshold” means the outstanding Voting Securities collectively constituting 25.73% of the total voting power"

Item 8.01.Other Events.

 

On April 3, 2026, IAC Inc., a Delaware corporation (“IAC”), entered into a Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with MGM Resorts International, a Delaware corporation (“MGM”), and Barry Diller. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, at any time a matter is brought to a vote at an annual or special meeting of MGM’s stockholders (or in connection with any action proposed to be taken by MGM stockholders in lieu of a meeting), IAC, Mr. Diller and their respective controlled affiliates (collectively the “Covered Entities”) will vote any voting securities that they beneficially own that collectively constitute in excess of 25.73% of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities of MGM (the “Excess Voting Securities”) on each matter in the same proportion as the stockholders of MGM (other than the Covered Entities) vote their voting securities on such matters (disregarding stockholders that do not vote).

 

The Voting Agreement will terminate automatically upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Covered Entities collectively ceasing to beneficially own 17.5% or more of the voting securities of MGM then outstanding, (ii) the Board of Directors of MGM (the “MGM Board”) having failed to nominate two (2) directors designated by IAC (should IAC elect to designate two (2) directors) who each meet the qualifications of a director set forth in MGM’s Corporate Governance Guidelines (a “Qualified Director”) to stand for election to the MGM Board at the applicable annual meeting of shareholders (such nomination condition, the “Nomination Condition”) and (iii) the occurrence of a change of control of MGM. If IAC determines not to designate one or more individuals to be nominated for election to the MGM Board, the Voting Agreement will not terminate. In addition, in order to satisfy the Nomination Condition, if at any time fewer than two (2) directors on the MGM Board have been designated by IAC, the MGM Board is required to cause Qualified Director(s) to be added within one (1) month of designation by IAC, subject to the receipt of required regulatory approvals. As of the date of entry into the Voting Agreement, Mr. Diller was deemed to be designated to serve on the MGM Board by IAC.

 

In addition, Mr. Diller and his controlled affiliates, other than IAC and its controlled affiliates (collectively, the “Diller Entities”), will no longer be subject to the voting restriction with respect to any Excess Voting Securities, and the Diller Entities will no longer be considered Covered Entities, when both of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) Mr. Diller no longer serves as either the Chairman of the Board of Directors of IAC or as Senior Executive of IAC; and (ii) the Diller Entities no longer beneficially own voting securities of IAC representing at least one-third of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities of IAC.

 

The foregoing description of the Voting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.

VOTING AGREEMENT

 

This Voting Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of April 3, 2026 by and among MGM Resorts International, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), IAC Inc., a Delaware corporation (“IAC”), and Barry Diller, an individual (“Mr. Diller”). Each of the Company, IAC and Mr. Diller is referred to herein as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties”.

 

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, IAC Beneficially Owns (as defined below) 66,822,350 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to set forth certain agreements herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1.            Voting Matters. On each matter brought to a vote at any annual or special meeting of the Company’s stockholders, and in connection with any action proposed to be taken by consent of the Company’s stockholders in lieu of a stockholder meeting, IAC and Mr. Diller shall, and shall cause their respective controlled affiliates (IAC, Mr. Diller and such controlled affiliates, collectively, the “Covered Entities” and Mr. Diller and his controlled affiliates, other than IAC and its controlled affiliates, collectively, the “Diller Entities”) to, vote or duly execute and deliver a stockholder consent with respect to, as applicable, any Voting Securities that are Beneficially Owned by the Covered Entities in excess of the Voting Cap Threshold (as defined below) (the “Excess Voting Securities”) in the same proportion as the stockholders (other than the Covered Entities) vote their Voting Securities in respect of such matter (disregarding stockholders that do not vote). The Parties will reasonably cooperate to share information for purposes of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 1, subject to the last sentence of Section 2, any Excess Voting Securities shall be deemed to be owned by the Diller Entities, on the one hand, and the Covered Entities that are not Diller Entities (the “IAC Entities”), on the other hand, pro rata based on the number of Voting Securities held by the Diller Entities and the IAC Entities, respectively.

 

2.            Termination. This Agreement will terminate automatically and thereafter be of no further force and effect for all Parties, without any requirement to give notice, at such time as the earliest of (a) the Covered Entities collectively ceasing to Beneficially Own 17.5% or more of the Voting Securities then outstanding, (b) the Board having failed to nominate two (2) directors designated by IAC who each meet the qualifications of a director as set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines to stand for election to the Board at the applicable annual meeting of shareholders (“Qualified Director”), and (c) the occurrence of a Change of Control. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) as of the date hereof, Mr. Diller is deemed to be designated by IAC, and (ii) if IAC determines not to designate one or more individuals to be nominated for election to the Board or any individuals designated by IAC refuse to be nominated or serve as a director on the Board, this Agreement will not terminate and will remain in full force and effect. If at any time fewer than two (2) directors on the Board have been designated by IAC, the Board shall cause Qualified Director(s) to be added within one (1) month of such designation by IAC, in each case subject to the receipt of required regulatory approvals, in order to satisfy the requirements set forth in clause (b) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Diller Entities shall no longer be subject to Section 1 of this Agreement, and the Diller Entities shall no longer be deemed Covered Entities hereunder, as of the earliest time that both of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) Mr. Diller no longer serves as either the Chairman of the Board of Directors of IAC or as Senior Executive of IAC and (ii) the Diller Entities no longer Beneficially Own Voting Securities of IAC representing at least one-third of the total voting power of the outstanding Voting Securities of IAC.

(c) the date that any one person acquires, or persons acting as a group acquire (or such person or persons has or have acquired as of the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons), assets constituting all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

Any suit or proceeding arising in respect to this Agreement will be tried exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any state or Federal court located in the State of Delaware, and the Parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such courts.
