01—Abstract

Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed January 10, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS) disclosed that its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Marina Bay Sands Pte.

Ltd. ("MBS"), entered into a second supplemental agreement dated January 8, 2025 to the Development Agreement with the Singapore Tourism Board ("STB") for the MBS Expansion Project. The Development Agreement was originally entered into on April 3, 2019, when MBS made an upfront premium payment of $963 milliona to lease the land underlying the project site through August 21, 2066. Since 2019, MBS has advanced its development plans and made changes that require a new allocation of gross floor area across the project by the STB, along with the purchase of 2,000 square meters of approved gaming area and 10,000 square meters of ancillary area supporting the gaming area.

Under the Second Supplemental Agreement, MBS committed to assume liability for the land premium associated with this additional gaming area purchase, as well as other land premium adjustments resulting from changes to gross floor area allocations since the 2019 payment. The agreement also formalizes construction commencement and completion dates of July 8, 2025 and July 8, 2029, respectively, previously agreed in an April 1, 2024 letter agreement. The additional upfront payment is currently anticipated to be approximately $1 billionb.

For investors, the key takeaway is a roughly $1 billionc anticipated additional upfront payment tied to expanding the MBS project's gaming and other allocated uses, with a formal construction schedule now set in the agreement. The filing includes forward-looking statements, and the full agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1, with certain schedules omitted under Item 601(a)(5) of Regulation S-K.
