This Schedule 13D/A (this “Amendment No. 2”) hereby amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 13, 2002 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as amended by the Schedule 13D/A filed by the Reporting Persons with the Commission on November 14, 2006 (“Amendment No. 1” and, together with the Original Schedule 13D, the “Schedule 13D”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

The response set forth in Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

(a)-(c) On the date hereof, the Reporting Persons have the shared power to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition of 24,549,222 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer owned by Aruze USA. Such 24,549,222 shares include 18,972,299 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer which were acquired by Aruze USA from the Issuer as a result of the contribution of its membership interest in Valvino Lamore, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Valvino”), to the Issuer on September 24, 2002.  In the contribution, approximately 189.7 shares of Issuer Common Stock were issued to Aruze USA in exchange for each common share of Valvino membership interest contributed.  Aruze USA acquired an additional 5,576,923 shares of Common Stock from the Issuer on October 30, 2002 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for $13.00 per share, which was the price offered to the public in the Issuer’s initial public offering.

 

As a result of entering into the Stockholders Agreement with Stephen A. Wynn (see Item 6), Aruze USA possesses shared power to vote or direct the vote of, and thus beneficially owns, an additional 24,153,417 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held by Mr. Wynn.

 

Mr. Wynn is a United States citizen with his business address at 3131 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109.  To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, Mr. Wynn directly beneficially owns 24,153,417 shares of Common Stock, or 19.6% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.

 

As described in Item 6, under the Stockholders Agreement, Aruze USA and Mr. Wynn have agreed to vote their shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock for a slate of directors of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, a majority of which will be designated by Mr. Wynn, of which at least two will be independent directors, and the remaining members of which will be designated by Aruze USA.  Aruze USA, Aruze Corp. and Kazuo Okada, on the one hand, and Mr. Wynn, on the other hand, are a “group” under Rule 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, because of the voting arrangement with respect to the election of directors under the Stockholders Agreement.  Other than the Stockholders Agreement, Amendment and Waiver and Consent described in Item 6, the Reporting Persons and Mr. Wynn do not have any other arrangement or understanding with respect to the acquisition, holding, voting or disposition of equity securities of the Issuer.

 

The aggregate percentage of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer, which the Reporting Persons beneficially own, including the shares of Common Stock which the Reporting Persons beneficially own as a result of the Stockholders Agreement, is 39.6%.  Excluding the additional shares of Common Stock that the Reporting Persons beneficially own as a result of the Stockholders Agreement, the Reporting Persons directly beneficially own 19.9% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.

 

Unless otherwise indicated, all percentages in this Amendment No. 2 assume that the Issuer had 123,063,790 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 30, 2009, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2009, filed May 11, 2009.
