LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 15, 2015--
Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ: WYNN) ("Wynn Resorts," "Wynn" or "the
Company") today announced the appointment of Clark T. “Sandy” Randt, Jr.
and Patricia Mulroy to its Board of Directors, effective October 15,
2015. Ambassador Randt and Ms. Mulroy have been appointed as Class III
(with a term expiring at the 2017 Annual Meeting) and Class I (with a
term expiring at the 2018 Annual Meeting) Directors, respectively. Ms.
Mulroy will also serve on the Board’s Compensation and Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committees. With the appointment of Ambassador
Randt and Ms. Mulroy, the Wynn Board of Directors now consists of nine
Directors, seven of whom are independent.
Patricia Mulroy brings more than 30 years of regional government
experience to the Board, performing in numerous leadership roles
focusing on Nevada’s public infrastructure. Most recently, she served as
a Commissioner of the Nevada Gaming Commission and a member of the
Global Agenda Council on Water of the World Economic Forum. Prior to
that, she served as General Manager of the Southern Nevada Water
Authority from 1993 to 2014 and was the General Manager of the Las Vegas
Valley Water District from 1989 to 2014.
"In the 45 years that I have been in business in Las Vegas, Pat Mulroy
has been one of the most impressive public servants, running a large
organization and dealing with complex issues. Her career managing both
the Las Vegas and Southern Nevada Water Authorities was marked by a
singular professional sensitivity to the sometimes competing needs of
the community and the environment. My opinion is obviously shared at all
levels of this state and its government, as evidenced by her appointment
to the Nevada Gaming Commission by Governor Sandoval in 2014. Pat
Mulroy’s willingness to join our board and apply her independent
judgment on all matters is a marvelous and positive development at Wynn
Resorts,” commented Stephen A. Wynn, Chairman and CEO.
Clark T. Randt, Jr. is currently President of Randt & Co. LLC, which
advises firms with interests in China. Additionally, he serves as a
Director of Qualcomm Inc., UPS and Valmont. He is also a member of the
Council on Foreign Relations. Ambassador Randt was the longest serving
United States Ambassador to the People's Republic of China, stationed in
Beijing from 2001 to 2009. Prior to that, Ambassador Randt was a partner
at the international law firm of Shearman & Sterling, heading the firm's
substantial China practice out of Hong Kong. Ambassador Randt’s
extensive experience in Asian business operations and U.S. investment in
China will be invaluable to Wynn’s Board of Directors.
With respect to Ambassador Randt’s appointment, Mr. Wynn noted,
“Considering our overwhelming commitment to the People’s Republic of
China and the Special Administrative Region of Macau, we are very
fortunate to have Ambassador Randt joining our board. Ambassador Randt’s
relationship with the central government of Beijing gives him a unique
perspective on that government’s most fundamental issues and concerns.
His appointment to manage our embassy in Beijing capped a stunning
career that began as one of the leading attorneys of an American law
firm in Hong Kong. Ambassador Randt speaks the language and understands
the people; this sensitivity will inure to the benefit of Wynn Resorts
and all of its shareholders.”
