Neutral Impact 3 of 5 leadership Written later

MGM Resorts entered employment agreements on September 16, 2025, with CFO and Treasurer Jonathan Halkyard and Chief Commercial Officer and President, MGM Digital, Gary Fritz, both effective October 1, 2025. The agreements set minimum base salaries of $1,250,000 for Halkyard and $1,500,000 for Fritz, with terms ending September 30, 2029 and September 30, 2028, respectively. The filing describes standard-style pay, bonus, equity and severance terms, so the direct effect on shareholders appears limited.
