LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 11, 2019-- Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ: WYNN) (“Wynn Resorts”) announced today that Wynn Resorts Finance, LLC (formerly known as Wynn America, LLC) (“Wynn Resorts Finance”) and its subsidiary Wynn Resorts Capital Corp. (“Wynn Resorts Capital” and, together with Wynn Resorts Finance, the “Issuers”), each an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Wynn Resorts, are offering $750 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) in a private offering.
The Notes will be guaranteed by all of Wynn Resorts Finance’s other domestic subsidiaries that guarantee Wynn Resorts Finance’s new Senior Secured Credit Facilities (defined below) (collectively, the “Guarantors”), including Wynn Las Vegas, LLC (“Wynn Las Vegas”) and each of its subsidiaries that guarantees the existing senior notes issued by Wynn Las Vegas (the “Existing LV Notes”). The Notes and guarantees will be senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors and will rank equal in right of payment with all existing and future liabilities of the Issuers and such Guarantors that are not subordinated, including their obligations under the new Senior Secured Credit Facilities and, with respect to Wynn Las Vegas and certain of its subsidiaries, their obligations under the Existing LV Notes. The Notes and guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future secured debt (to the extent of the collateral securing such debt), including the new Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
Concurrently with the issuance of the Notes, Wynn Resorts Finance expects (i) to enter into a new first lien term loan A facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,000 million and a new revolving first lien credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $850 million (together, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) and (ii) to undergo an internal restructuring, after which, Wynn Resorts Finance will hold all of Wynn Resorts’ ownership interests in Wynn Las Vegas, LLC, which owns and operates the Wynn Las Vegas integrated resort in Las Vegas, Nevada (excluding certain leased retail space that is owned by Wynn Resorts directly), in Wynn Group Asia, which holds Wynn Resorts’ approximately 72% controlling interest in Wynn Macau, and in Wynn MA, LLC, which owns and operates the Encore Boston Harbor integrated resort in Everett, Massachusetts.
Wynn Resorts Finance plans to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, to (i) refinance the existing credit facilities of Wynn Resorts and Wynn America, LLC and (ii) pay related fees and expenses.
The Issuers will make the offering pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The initial purchasers of the Notes will offer the Notes only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act or outside the United States to certain persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or under any state securities laws. Therefore, the Issuers may not offer or sell the Notes within the United States to, or for the account or benefit of, any United States person unless the offer or sale would qualify for a registration exemption from the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes described in this press release, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes 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 jurisdiction.
