LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ: WYNN) (“Wynn Resorts”) announced today that Wynn Resorts Finance, 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 $800 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2033 (the “Notes”) in a private offering.
The Notes will initially be jointly and severally guaranteed by all of Wynn Resorts Finance’s domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) that guarantee the Issuers’ existing senior secured credit facilities (the “Senior Credit Facilities”), except Wynn Resorts Capital, which is the co-issuer of the Notes, the Issuers’ 5.125% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 WRF Notes”) and the Issuers’ 7.125% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 WRF 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 2029 WRF Notes and the 2031 WRF Notes, and, with respect to Wynn Las Vegas, LLC (“Wynn Las Vegas”) and certain of its subsidiaries, their obligations under the existing senior notes issued by Wynn Las Vegas. 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 value of the collateral securing such debt), including the Senior Credit Facilities and the existing senior notes issued by Wynn Las Vegas.
Wynn Resorts Finance plans to (a) contribute and/or lend a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to its subsidiary, Wynn Las Vegas, who will use the amounts to (i) redeem in full Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp.’s outstanding 5.500% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 LV Notes”) and (ii) pay fees and expenses related to the redemption and (b) use the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include covering all or a portion of the $130 million forfeiture under the non-prosecution agreement described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 6, 2024.
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 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.
Wynn Las Vegas intends to redeem all of the outstanding 2025 LV Notes on or after the closing of this offering. This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption or an offer to purchase or the solicitation of an offer to sell such notes.
