MGM RESORTS INTRODUCES REVISED HEALTH & SAFETY PLAN

1. Launched this past week, the MGM Resorts Health & Safety Commitment includes a focus on promoting employee health and wellness, enabling high quality clean airflow, advancing innovative digital technologies and options for touchless transactions and keeping cleanliness and sanitization top of mind.#

1. John Flynn, VP of Administration, MGM Resorts: "This isn't just about today. This is about two, three years down the road and into the future. We wanted to reaffirm our positioning when it comes to the health and safety of our employees, because that's first and foremost. There's also some lessons that we've learned around clean air, outside fresh air, air cycles, that we're going to continue to stay focused on into the future and drive the consumer-facing relationships that we've built into the palm of your hand, into the cell phones, on to the QR codes. Finally, hand washing, disinfecting, and hand sanitizing. You'll still see that on our properties. We're not letting up on that either."
