This Amendment No. 43 amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D filed by Tracinda Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“Tracinda”), and Mr. Kirk Kerkorian, the sole shareholder of Tracinda, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 20, 1991, as amended on June 8, 1992, October 16, 1992, February 22, 1994, March 11, 1994, November 20, 1995, January 24, 1997, September 25, 1997, August 3, 1998, August 21, 1998, September 1, 1998, June 11, 1999, November 16, 1999, April 18, 2000, February 9, 2001, May 21, 2001, November 2, 2001, May 21, 2007, June 20, 2007, August 7, 2007, August 22, 2007, March 5, 2008, July 8, 2008, September 3, 2008, October 16, 2008, February 19, 2009, May 18, 2009, May 20, 2009, September 9, 2009, October 20, 2009, April 16, 2010, October 13, 2010, October 18, 2010 (two filings), October 21, 2010, November 12, 2010, January 28, 2011, April 20, 2011, August 18, 2011, February 28, 2012, April 4, 2012, March 14, 2013 and September 18, 2013, and as amended by that certain Schedule TO-T filed by Tracinda and Mr. Kerkorian with the SEC on December 4, 2006, as amended (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the common stock, $.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of MGM Resorts International, a Delaware corporation ( “MGM Resorts” or the “Company”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 43 shall have the meaning set forth in the Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 43 is being filed in order to add Anthony Mandekic as a reporting person.
 
Item 2.
 
Identity and Background.
 
 
Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following information:

As a result of Mr. Kerkorian’s death, he ceased to be a Reporting Person on this Schedule 13D.  Tracinda will continue to report regarding its interest in MGM Resorts through further amendments to this Schedule 13D.  In addition, Mr. Kerkorian named Anthony Mandekic as executor of his estate under his last will and testament (the “Kerkorian Will”).  The exact timing of when Mr. Mandekic will be formally appointed as executor of Mr. Kerkorian’s estate is not currently known.  Mr. Mandekic is being added as a Reporting Person to this Schedule 13D in anticipation of such appointment.

The business address of Mr. Mandekic is c/o Tracinda Corporation, 150 South Rodeo Drive, Suite 250, Beverly Hills, California 90212.  Mr. Mandekic is the Chief Executive Officer, President, Secretary and Treasurer of Tracinda Corporation, a privately held investment firm located at 150 South Rodeo Drive, Suite 250, Beverly Hills, California 90212.

Mr. Mandekic has not, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors).  Mr. Mandekic was not, during the last five years, party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which he was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Mr. Mandekic is a citizen of the United States.
 
Item 4.
 
Purpose of Transaction.
 
 
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following information:

Upon Mr. Kerkorian’s death on June 15, 2015, Tracinda’s position in the Common Stock became subject to the terms of the Kerkorian Will.  That instrument instructs the executor of Mr. Kerkorian’s estate to execute an orderly disposition of Tracinda’s position in the Common Stock.  Mr. Kerkorian named Anthony Mandekic as executor of his estate in the Kerkorian Will.  As described in Item 2 above, the timing of when Mr. Mandekic will be formally appointed as executor is not currently known.  Once such appointment has been formalized, Mr. Mandekic will be able to implement the directions of the Kerkorian Will with respect to the orderly disposition of the Common Stock.  However, Tracinda continues to believe that there is substantial value in the assets of MGM Resorts and that the Company is a good long-term investment.

The Reporting Persons do not intend to further amend this Schedule 13D upon the formal appointment of Mr. Mandekic as executor of Mr. Kerkorian’s estate, but do intend to amend this Schedule 13D in connection with future dispositions of the Common Stock in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  In order to effectuate such dispositions, Tracinda may adopt a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.

Mr. Mandekic is a Company director.  Accordingly, Tracinda intends to comply with the Company’s securities trading policy in its disposition of MGM Resorts Common Stock.
 
Item 5.
 
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
 
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following information:
