LAS VEGAS, April 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Steve Wynn,
Chairman and CEO of Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN) today through a
spokesperson issued the following statement in response to the
press release issued today by Elaine
Wynn in reference to her amended counterclaim against
Steve Wynn:
"In issuing a press release regarding the routine
filing of purported supporting documents, Ms. Wynn is
simply recycling the same lies and distortions she has sought to
promulgate in an attempt to embarrass Mr. Wynn, his fellow Board
members and colleagues. She is promising verification for these
same tired allegations without delivering on them. There was no
legal reason for her press release. Her only motivation is an
attempt to harm Mr. Wynn and Wynn Resorts and conduct the trial of
her unfounded allegations in the press rather than in court where
they are destined to be proved false.
"Mr. Wynn has used every possible personal resource he has to
try to address Ms. Wynn's requests, including offering to buy all
or part of her stock as recently as the days immediately prior
to the filing of her amended counterclaim on March 28th.
"Mr. Wynn looks forward to formal and final resolution of
the matter in court and until that time will refrain from the kind
of scurrilous public discourse being pursued by his ex-wife."
