View printer-friendly versionLAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 24, 2004--Today Wynn Resorts, Limited (Nasdaq:WYNN) announced the pricing terms and extension of the previously announced cash tender offer (the "Offer") by Wynn Las Vegas, LLC. Wynn Las Vegas, LLC offered to purchase any and all of the $247,580,000 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 12.0% Second Mortgage Notes due 2010 (CUSIP No. 983130 AA 3).
For purposes of calculating the total consideration for the Offer, the reference U.S. Treasury for the notes is the 2-1/2% U.S. Treasury Note due October 31, 2006, and the reference U.S. Treasury yield and the tender offer yield are 2.951% and 3.451%, respectively. The total consideration per $1,000 principal amount of notes validly tendered prior to the expiration of the related consent solicitation on November 22, 2004 (the "Consent Date") is $1,266.81, of which $20.00 is the consent payment. Holders validly tendering their notes after the Consent Date but on or prior to the expiration date for the Offer will receive the total consideration less the consent payment, or $1,246.81 per $1,000 principal amount of notes.
In addition, holders whose notes are validly tendered and accepted for purchase will receive accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the settlement date. Holders who validly tender their notes by the expiration date will receive payment on the settlement date, which is expected to be on or about December 14, 2004.
The Offer is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including but not limited to the valid tender and delivery of consents with respect to, a majority of the outstanding principal amount of notes (excluding notes held by affiliates of the issuers), new debt financing and other customary general conditions. As of the close of business on November 23, 2004, $215,617,000 of the notes had been validly tendered and not withdrawn, which is approximately 87% of the $247,580,000 outstanding notes. The Offer's financing condition will be satisfied when Wynn Las Vegas completes its previously announced offering of first mortgage notes and arranges its previously announced new credit facilities.
The expiration of the Offer has been extended until 12:01 a.m., New York City Time, on December 14, 2004, unless further extended or earlier terminated.
