ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

 

MGM MIRAGE (the “Company”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K, which includes the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2002 that were originally filed in Item 8 of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 (the “Form 10-K”), to reflect the reclassification of the subsidiaries operating the Golden Nugget Las Vegas and Golden Nugget Laughlin (the “Golden Nugget Subsidiaries”) and PLAYMGMMIRAGE.COM (“Online”) as discontinued operations.

 

In June 2003, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Golden Nugget Subsidiaries, including substantially all of the assets and liabilities of those resorts, for approximately $215 million, subject to certain working capital adjustments.  This transaction is expected to be completed by the end of 2003, subject to customary sales conditions and regulatory approval.  Also in June 2003, the Company ceased operations of PLAYMGMMIRAGE.com, its online gaming website, which was operated by Online.

 

This filing does not update the Company’s disclosures in its Form 10-K except for the effects of the reclassification discussed above.  For information on other developments regarding the Company since the filing of the Form 10-K, please refer to the Company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
