Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

(a) Amendments to Bylaws

On August 20, 2013, the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) of MGM Resorts International (the “Company”) approved an amendment to, and restatement of, the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, effective as of such date, to add an exclusive forum bylaw. Specifically, new Article IX, Section 6 provides that, unless the Board of Directors consents to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for each of the following: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer or other employee of the corporation to the corporation or the corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

The amended bylaws also reflect certain updates, including, among other matters, the following updates:

 

•

Amend Article I, Sections 2 and 9 to eliminate the reference to “writing” and “written” to clarify that stockholders may submit proxies through means other than writing, including over the Internet or by telephone, and to clarify that notice of stockholder meetings by electronic transmission is permitted.

 

•

Add Article I, Section 14 to clarify rules, regulations and procedures for the conduct of stockholder meetings, including the power of the Chairman of the meeting to declare that a matter is not properly brought before the meeting and to convene, recess and/or adjourn meetings of stockholders.

 

•

Amend Article VIII, Section 1 to include an election by the Company to be governed by Delaware General Corporation Law Section 141(c)(2) which permits the Board of Directors to delegate additional power and authority to committees.

The foregoing description of the amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
