LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 22, 2018--
Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ: WYNN) (the “Company”) announced today
that it agreed to sell 5,300,000 newly issued shares of Company common
stock (the “Common Stock”) at a price of $175 per share to Galaxy
Entertainment Group in a public offering registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from that offering to repay
amounts to be borrowed under the 364-day term loan facility contemplated
by the commitment letters that the Company entered into on March 9,
2018, with an affiliate of Deutsche Bank Securities in an aggregate
principal amount of up to $800 million. Deutsche Bank Securities is
acting as sole book-running manager for the offering of Common Stock by
the Company.
On March 21, 2018, the Wynn Family Limited Partnership (“WFLP” and
together with Stephen A. Wynn, the “Selling Stockholder”), an entity
affiliated with Stephen A. Wynn (“Mr. Wynn”), sold an aggregate of
4,104,999 shares of Common Stock at a price of $180 per share in open
market transactions pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act.
Additionally, following the Rule 144 open market transactions, on March
22, 2018, the Selling Stockholder entered into agreements to sell
approximately 8.0 million shares of Common Stock in privately negotiated
transactions, representing all of his remaining holdings of the
Company’s Common Stock.
On March 20, 2018, the Company announced that its indirect wholly owned
subsidiaries, Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp. (the
“WLV Issuers”), had received the requisite consents to approve an
amendment to the indenture (the “2023 Indenture”) governing the WLV
Issuers’ 4.25% Senior Notes due 2023. The amendment conforms the
definition of “change of control” relating to ownership of equity
interests in the Company in the 2023 Indenture to the terms of the
indentures governing the WLV Issuers’ other outstanding notes.
The Common Stock being sold by the Company will be issued pursuant to an
effective registration statement filed with the SEC on November 8, 2016.
Copies of the prospectus supplement, when available, may be obtained by

a solicitation of an offer to buy any Common Stock, nor shall there be
any sale of Common Stock in any state or jurisdiction in which such an
offer, sale or solicitation would be unlawful prior to registration or
qualification under the securities laws of any such state or
jurisdiction. Any offer, if made at all, will be made only by means of a
prospectus supplement and an accompanying prospectus, or pursuant to an
exemption for registration.
