The right in favor of the holders of the Notes to require the Company to repurchase the New Notes and the Additional Notes Although none of the Company’s controlling shareholders (as defined in the Listing Rules), including WRL, are parties to the Purchase Agreement or the Indentures, the Indentures will contain a change of control provision that would, if triggered, give rise to a right in favor of the holders of the Notes to require the Company to repurchase the Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to but excluding the date of repurchase. The circumstances that will constitute a change of control include: (1) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than to WRL or any of its affiliates; (2) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company or any successor thereto; (3) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as defined in clause (1) above), other than WRL or any affiliate of WRL becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company, measured by voting power rather than number of equity interests; 7
(4) the first day on which a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Company are not directors who were on the board on the date of the Indentures, or directors who were nominated for election, or who were nominated, elected, or appointed by a majority of the directors who were on the board on the date of the Indentures at the time of such nomination, election or appointment; (5) the first day on which the Company ceases to own, directly or indirectly, at least 60% of the outstanding equity interests of (and at least a 60% economic interest in) WRM; or (6) the 30th day following the date on which the Company ceases to be entitled to use the “WYNN” trademark. A person or group shall not be deemed to beneficially own the voting stock of the Company subject to a stock or asset purchase agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, warrant agreement or similar agreement until the completion of the relevant transaction under such agreement. Special Put Option under the New Notes and the Additional Notes Upon the occurrence of: (1) any event after which none of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company has such licenses, concessions, subconcessions or other permits or authorizations as are necessary for the Company and its subsidiaries to own or manage casino or gaming areas or operate casino games of fortune and chance in Macau in substantially the same manner and scope as the Company and its subsidiaries are entitled to on the date on which the Notes are issued, for a period of ten consecutive days or more, and such event has a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business, properties, or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; or (2) the termination, rescission, revocation or modification of any licenses, concessions, subconcessions or other permits or authorizations relating to casino or gaming operations which has had a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business, properties, or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, each holder of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the date of repurchase.
