Kerkorian's Tracinda Corp. agreed to purchase 14.3 million shares prior to the offering being priced, according to the SEC filing. At $7, the purchase price was $99.9 million.

Analysts said the offering coupled with a $1.5-billion senior secured note offering should keep bankruptcy off the table for at least a couple of years. Shares of MGM closed the trading day Monday at $8.74, up nearly 14%.
