This Amendment No. 13 amends and supplements the Statement on
Schedule 13D filed on August 20, 1991, as amended on June 8, 1992, on
October 16, 1992, on February 22, 1994, on March 11, 1994, on November 20,
1995, on January 24, 1997, on September 25, 1997, on August 3, 1998, on
August 21, 1998, on September 1, 1998, and on June 11, 1999, and on
November 16, 1999 (as so amended, the "Schedule 13D"), relating to the
common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of MGM Grand,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), previously filed by Tracinda
Corporation, a Nevada corporation ("Tracinda"), and Mr. Kirk Kerkorian.
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment
No. 13 shall have the meaning set forth in the Schedule 13D.
1. Item 3, "Purpose of the Transaction"; Item 4, "Purpose of
Transaction"; Item 5, "Interest in Securities of the Issuer"; and Item
6, "Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
Respect to Securities of the Issuer", of the Schedule 13D are hereby
amended to add the following information:
On April 14, 2000, Tracinda and certain other investors (the "Other
Investors"), unaffiliated with Tracinda or Mr. Kerkorian, entered
into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the Company (the "Stock Purchase
Agreement"). Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Tracinda will
purchase from the Company 23,000,000 treasury shares at $26.50 per
share, or an aggregate purchase price of $609,500,000, which will be
funded pursuant to the Credit Facility. Also pursuant to the Stock
Purchase Agreement, the Company will sell an additional 23,500,000
newly issued shares of Common Stock to the Other Investors, for an
aggregate sale by the Company to Tracinda and the Other Investors of
46,500,000 shares. The sale of 46,500,000 shares of Common Stock by
the Company to Tracinda and the Other Investors is expected to be
consummated on April 18, 2000.
Currently, Tracinda directly and beneficially owns, and has sole
voting and dispositive power with respect to, an aggregate of
68,221,432 shares of Common Stock, not including the 23,000,000 shares
of Common Stock to be acquired by Tracinda pursuant to the Stock
Purchase Agreement, which number of shares gives effect to the
Company's two-for-one stock split, which the Company effected as of
February 28, 2000 (the "Stock Split"). When these 68,221,432 shares
are aggregated with the 23,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be
purchased by Tracinda pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement,
Tracinda would directly and beneficially own, and have sole voting and
dispositive power with respect to, an aggregate of 91,221,432 shares
of Common Stock. Mr. Kerkorian beneficially owns, and has sole voting
and dispositive power with respect to, an aggregate of 72,010,244
shares of Common Stock, not including the 23,000,000 shares of Common
Stock to be purchased by Tracinda pursuant to the Stock Purchase
Agreement (also after giving effect to the Stock Split). When
aggregated with the 23,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be purchased
by Tracinda, Mr. Kerkorian would beneficially own, and have sole
voting and dispositive power with respect to, 95,010,244 shares of
Common Stock.
CUSIP No. 552953 10 1 13D Page 5 of 6 Pages
The Company represents in the Stock Purchase Agreement that, as of
April 12, 2000, the Company had 111,842,262 shares of Common Stock
outstanding. After giving effect to the sale of 46,500,000 shares of
Common Stock pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company
would have 158,342,262 shares of Common Stock outstanding. The
91,221,432 shares of Common Stock to be owned by Tracinda after the
purchase of 23,000,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Stock
Purchase Agreement would represent approximately 57.6% of the total
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock. The 95,010,244 shares
of Common Stock to be beneficially owned by Mr. Kerkorian after the
purchase by Tracinda of 23,000,000 shares of Common Stock would
represent approximately 60.0% of the total number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock.
The purchase by Tracinda of 23,000,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant
to the Stock Purchase Agreement is being made for investment purposes.
2. Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following
information:
Exhibit A: Stock Purchase Agreement.
3. Except as specifically provided herein, this amendment does not modify
any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D.

disclosed in the Public Reports (defined below), since April 12, 2000 the
Company has not issued or committed to issue any shares of Common Stock.
Authorization.
All corporate action on the part of the Company, its
officers, directors and stockholders necessary for (i) the issuance and
sale of the Shares in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) the
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement have
been taken. This Agreement constitutes valid and binding obligations of
the Company enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
other laws of general application relating to or affecting enforcement of
creditor's rights and rules of laws concerning equitable remedies. The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation
of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and the fulfillment of
the terms of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action and will not conflict with or constitute a breach of,
default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge
or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company pursuant to, any
contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, deed, trust, note, sublease,
voting agreement, voting trust or other instrument or agreement to which
the Company is a party or by which it is bound, or to which any of the
property or assets of the Company is subject, nor will any such action
result in any violation of the provisions of the articles of incorporation
or bylaws of the Company or any applicable statute, law, rule, regulation,
ordinance, decision, directive or order.
The Shares have been duly authorized, and when issued in
compliance with the provisions of this Agreement will be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable, and will be free of any liens, encumbrances
or restrictions on transfer; provided, however, that the Shares will be
subject to restrictions on transfer under state and/or federal securities
laws.
No stockholder of the Company and no other Person has any
right of first refusal or any preemptive rights in connection with the
issuance and sale of any of the Shares. In this Agreement "Person" means
any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership or any
other private, public or government entity.
Subject to the accuracy of each Purchaser's representations
and warranties in Section 4 of this Agreement, the offer, sale and issuance
of the Shares constitute transactions exempt from the registration
requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act and from the registration
or qualification requirements of any applicable state or jurisdiction
(other than notice filings required under applicable law).
To the Company's knowledge, no event has occurred which
constitutes or may reasonably be expected to cause a material adverse
effect on the Company's or Mirage's ability to consummate the Company's
acquisition of Mirage in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated March 6, 2000, among Mirage, MGMGMR Acquisition, Inc.
and the Company.

Act")(collectively the "Public Reports"), since January 1, 1999. Each of
the Public Reports, as of its respective date, has complied with the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act in all material respects. None of the
Public Reports, as of their respective dates, contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary
in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.
Financial Statements. The financial statements included in or
incorporated by reference into the Public Reports (including the related
notes and schedules) (the "Financial Statements") have been prepared in
accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles

thereby, except as may be indicated therein or in the notes thereto and
except with respect to unaudited statements as permitted by Form 10-Q of
the SEC, and fairly present in all material respects the financial
condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the indicated dates and
the results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the
indicated periods; provided , however, that the interim statements are
subject to normal year-end adjustments. As used herein "Subsidiary" means
any corporation or other entity with respect to which a specified Person
(or a Subsidiary thereof) owns a majority of the common stock or other
appropriate equity interest, or has the power to vote or direct the voting
of sufficient securities to elect a majority of the directors, managers or
members (as appropriate) of its board of directors or other governing body.
Events Subsequent to December 31, 1999. Since December 31, 1999,
no event has occurred which has caused or constitutes a Material Adverse
Effect (defined below) on the Company except as publicly disclosed by the
Company. As used herein "Material Adverse Effect" means a material adverse
effect on the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition or results
of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or a
material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to perform its
obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that none of the
following, individually or in the aggregate, will be deemed to have a
Material Adverse Effect on the Company: (x) fluctuations in the market
price of the Common Stock, (y) any change or an effect arising out of
general economic conditions or conditions generally affecting the gaming,
hotel, entertainment and/or resort industries or (z) the Company 's
agreement to acquire Mirage Resorts, Incorporated ("Mirage") or the
consummation thereof or obligations incurred in furtherance of such
acquisition (including with respect to the financing thereof).
Undisclosed Liabilities. Except for (i) liabilities disclosed in
the Public Reports, (ii) liabilities which have arisen after December 31,
1999 in the ordinary course of the Company's business, and (iii)
liabilities which may be assumed or incurred in connection with the
Company's acquisition of Mirage, to the Company's knowledge, none of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries has any liability (whether known or
unknown, whether asserted or unasserted, whether absolute or contingent,
whether accrued or unaccrued, whether liquidated or unliquidated, and
whether due or to become due) which, individually or in the aggregate,
would have a Material Adverse Effect.
Representations and Warranties by each Purchaser. Each Purchaser
severally for itself alone, and not jointly, represents and warrants to the
Company as follows as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:
4.1 Investment Intent. The Purchaser's Allocated Shares are being
acquired for the Purchaser's own account, for investment and not with a
view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public
offering in violation of the Securities Act.
4.2 Unregistered Securities. The Purchaser understands that the
Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities
laws of any state, and that, except as contemplated by Section 7 hereof,
(i) the Company has no present intention of registering the Shares, (ii)
the Shares must be held by the Purchaser indefinitely, and (iii) the
Purchaser must therefore bear the economic risk of such investment
indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under
the Securities Act or is exempt from registration. Except as provided in
Section 7 of this Agreement, the Company has not agreed to register any of
the Shares. The Purchaser is domiciled in the jurisdiction and at the
address set forth on the Purchaser's signature page hereto.
4.3 Access to Information. During the negotiation of the

and other relevant matters as they have deemed necessary or desirable, and
(iii) have been given all such information as has been requested, in order
to evaluate the merits and risks of the prospective investments
contemplated herein.
4.4 Due Diligence Investigation. The Purchaser and Purchaser's
representatives have been solely responsible for the Purchaser's own "due
diligence" investigation of the Company and its management and business,
for its own analysis of the merits and risks of this investment, and for
Purchaser's own analysis of the fairness and desirability of the terms of
the investment. In taking any action or performing any role relative to
the arranging of the proposed investment, the Purchaser has acted solely in
Purchaser's own interest, and neither the Purchaser nor any of Purchaser's
agents or employees) has acted as an agent of the Company. The Purchaser
has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such
that the Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
purchase of the Purchaser's Allocated Shares pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement and of protecting the Purchaser's interests in connection
therewith. Each Purchaser acknowledges and understands that provisions
appearing in the Company's certificate of incorporation and in the gaming
laws of various jurisdictions in which the Company or its Subsidiaries
conduct business may require such Purchaser to dispose of its Shares.
4.5 Accredited Investor. Such Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as
that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of the
purchase of the Purchaser's Allocated Shares pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, including a complete loss of the Purchaser's investment.
4.6 Power and Authority. The Purchaser has the full right, power and
authority to enter into and perform the Purchaser's obligations under this
Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes valid and binding obligations of
the Purchaser enforceable in accordance with its terms except as limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws
of general application relating to or affecting enforcement of creditors'
rights and rules of law concerning equitable remedies.
4.7 Legend. Purchaser acknowledges that each certificate representing the
Shares will be endorsed with substantially the following legends:

under the Securities Act, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause
such Form S-3 (or such other form, if appropriate) to become effective as

of such Allocated Shares to be sold by such Purchaser (provided that the
Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any
jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for
this subparagraph, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction
or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction);
(c) notify each Purchaser selling Shares in such offering, at any time
when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the
Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the discovery of the happening
of any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in such
registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, and the Company
will promptly prepare and file with the SEC and, at the request of any such
Purchaser, furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of, a
supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered
to the purchasers of such Shares, such prospectus will not contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made;
(d) cause all Shares to be sold in such offering to be listed on each
securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are
then listed;
(e) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Shares to be included
in such offering not later than the effective date of the registration
statement for such offering;
(f) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and
regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon
as reasonably practicable, an earning statement covering the period of at
least twelve months beginning with the first day of the first full calendar
quarter of the Company after the effective date of the registration
statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of section
11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder; and
(g) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or
preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the
qualification of any securities included in such registration statement for
sale in any jurisdiction, the Company will use all commercially reasonable
efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order;
Registration Expenses. (a) Except as expressly provided in this
Section 7, the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses relating to any
registration of Shares hereunder. "Registration Expenses" shall mean any
and all fees and expenses incident to the Company's performance of or
compliance with this Section 7, including (i) SEC, stock exchange or
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. registration and filing

fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and (vi) fees and
disbursements of all independent public accountants and fees and expenses
of other Persons, including special experts, retained by the Company.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing , (i) the provisions of this
Section 7.3 shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to cause these
expense provisions to comply with "blue sky" laws of each state in which
the offering is made and (ii) in connection with any registration
hereunder, each Purchaser shall pay all underwriting discounts and
commissions and transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the Shares included
in the offering by the Purchaser and all fees and expenses of such
Purchaser's counsel.
Indemnification. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless, to the extent permitted by law, each Purchaser, its officers,
directors, employees and agents and each Person who controls such Purchaser
(within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Purchaser or any
such director, officer, employee, agent or controlling Person may become
subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced
or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (A) in any
registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto used in connection with this
Section 7 or (B) in any application or other document or communication (in
this Section 7.4 collectively called an "application") executed by or on
behalf of the Company or based upon written information furnished by or on
behalf of the Company filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify any
securities covered by such registration statement under the "blue sky" or
securities laws thereof, (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to made the
statements therein not misleading or (iii) any violation by the Company of
the Securities Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation
promulgated under the Securities Act or any state securities law, or any
other law applicable to the Company relating to any such registration or
qualification, and the Company will reimburse the Purchaser and each such
director, officer and controlling Person for any legal or any other
expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim liability, action or proceeding; provided that the Company
shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or
expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement, any such
prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information prepared and furnished to the Company by any Purchaser
expressly for use therein or by any Purchaser's failure to deliver a copy
of the prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the
Company has furnished any Purchaser with a sufficient number of copies of
the same.
(b) In connection with any registration statement in which any Purchaser
is participating, such Purchaser will furnish to the Company in writing
such information and documents concerning such Purchaser as the Company
reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration
statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, will indemnify
and hold harmless the Company and it directors and officers and each other
Person who controls or is controlled by the Company and the directors and
officers of each such Person controlling or controlled by the Company and
the directors and officers of each such controlling or controlled Person
(within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or any such
director or officer or controlling or controlled Person may become subject
under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or
threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto or in any application or (ii) any
omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but
only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission is made in such registration statement, any such prospectus or
preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any
application, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
concerning such Purchaser prepared and furnished to the Company by or on
behalf of such Purchaser in writing expressly for use therein, and each
Purchaser will reimburse the Company and each such director, officer and
controlling or controlled Person for any legal or any other expenses
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such
loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided that the obligation
to indemnity will be individual to each Purchaser and will be limited to
the net amount of proceeds received by such Purchaser from the sale of
Shares by such Purchaser pursuant to such registration statement.
(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt
written notice to the Company of any claim with respect to which it seeks
indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable
judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified parties and the
Company may exist with respect to such claim, permit the Company to assume
the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party; provided , however, that the failure of any indemnified
party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying
party of its obligations hereunder unless the failure to give such notice
is materially prejudicial to an indemnifying party's ability to defend such
action. If such defense is assumed, the indemnified party will not be
subject to any liability for any settlement made by the Company without its
consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). Anything to
the contrary appearing in this Agreement notwithstanding, the Company will
not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for
all parties indemnified hereunder with respect to such claim, unless in the
reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may
exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified
parties with respect to such claim. If the Company assumes the defense,
the indemnified party may engage its own counsel at its own sole cost and
expense. All fees and expenses of counsel to any indemnified party
required to be paid by the Company shall be paid by the Company as incurred
by such indemnified party.
(d) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will remain in
full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf
of the indemnified party or any officer, director, employee, agent or
controlling or controlled Person of such indemnified party and will survive
the transfer of Shares by any Purchaser. If the indemnification provided
for herein is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in
respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein,
then the Company, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party
thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the indemnified party or
parties, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions
that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as
any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that in no
event shall any contribution by any Purchaser or any director, officer,
employee, agent or controlling or controlled Person thereof exceed the
amount of the net proceeds received by such Purchaser from the sale of
Shares pursuant to such registration statement.
Current Public Information. At all times prior to the earlier of
the second anniversary of the Closing Date and the date on which each
Purchaser has disposed of all of such Purchaser's Allocated Shares, the
Company will file all reports required to be filed by it under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted
by the commission thereunder to the extent required to enable the Purchaser
to sell Shares pursuant to Rule 144.
