This Agreement, together with the surviving provisions of the Employment Agreement entered into as of August 29, 2025, set forth the entire agreement and understanding between the parties and supersedes any prior oral or written agreement or understandings between them regarding its subject matter. Employee understands, acknowledges and agrees that Employee has not relied on any representations, promises or agreements of any kind in connection with the decision to enter into this Agreement except for those set forth herein. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, including facsimile or electronic counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one agreement, and each of which separately shall constitute an original document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**IV.<u>Miscellaneous</u>**. This Amendment shall be effective as of the Effective Date. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

**LAS VEGAS, September 5, 2025 –** MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) announced today that Corey Sanders, Chief Operating Officer, will retire from the company after more than 30 years of dedicated service and leadership.

The Company intends to name a new COO to serve as Sander's successor later this month.

"More importantly, Corey helped us put all the different pieces together to create one company and one culture. As a leader and as a person, Corey understood the importance of caring for employees and treating people with respect. He will be deeply missed."

Sanders is currently MGM Resorts' Chief Operating Officer, overseeing the company's Las Vegas and regional properties as well as multiple corporate departments, including Hospitality, Gaming, Human Resources, and Strategic Initiatives. Prior to that, he served as the company's Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer.
