MGM Resorts acquisition talks come to an end

24 September 2026

(PRESS RELEASE) -- MGM Resorts International confirms that People Incorporated has withdrawn its 1 June 2026, proposal to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the company that it does not already own. Over the past several months, a special committee of MGM Resorts' Board has participated in negotiations with People to advance the interests of its shareholders. MGM Resorts will continue as a standalone company.

"The Board remains excited to continue to lead MGM Resorts as a standalone company. Our leading position in Las Vegas, our best-in-class regional properties, and BetMGM's continued momentum highlight the value we bring to our shareholders. In addition, our international portfolio of MGM China and the significant opportunity ahead with MGM Osaka support a clear path to increasing shareholder value," said Paul Salem, Chairman of the MGM Resorts Board.
