|
On September 20, 2017, Wynn Macau, Limited (“WML”), an indirect subsidiary of Wynn Resorts, Limited (the “Registrant”) with its ordinary shares of common stock listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “HKSE”), entered into (a) an Indenture, dated as of September 20, 2017 (the “2024 Indenture”), between WML and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee, pursuant to which WML issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) and (b) an Indenture, dated as of September 20, 2017 (the “2027 Indenture” and, together with the 2024 Indenture, the “Indentures”), between WML and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee, pursuant to which WML issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.5% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes” and, together with the 2024 Notes, the “New Notes”).
WML expects to receive net proceeds of approximately $1.339 billion from the offering of the New Notes after deducting discounts, commissions and estimated expenses of the offering and to use the net proceeds, together with other sources of funds available to WML and/or cash on hand, to repurchase and redeem in full any and all of the outstanding $1.35 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Senior Notes due 2021, issued by WML (the “2021 Notes”). The following is a brief description of certain terms and conditions of the Indentures and the New Notes.
At any time before October 1, 2020 and October 1, 2022, WML may redeem the 2024 Notes and the 2027 Notes, respectively, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes or 2027 Notes, as applicable, or (b) a “make-whole” amount as determined by an independent investment banker in accordance with the terms of the Indentures, in either case, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Prior to October 1, 2020 and October 1, 2022, WML may use the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes and the 2027 Notes, respectively, at a redemption price equal to 104.875% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes and 105.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes, as applicable.
In addition, on or after October 1, 2020 and October 1, 2022, WML may redeem the 2024 Notes and the 2027 Notes, respectively, in whole or in part, at a premium decreasing annually from 102.438% and 102.75%, respectively, of the applicable principal amount to zero, plus accrued and unpaid interest. If WML undergoes a Change of Control (as defined in the Indentures), it must offer to repurchase the New Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, WML may redeem the New Notes, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, in response to any change in or amendment to certain tax laws or tax positions. Further, if a holder or beneficial owner of the New Notes fails to meet certain requirements imposed by any Gaming Authority (as defined in the Indentures), WML may require the holder or beneficial owner to dispose of or redeem its New Notes.
Upon the occurrence of (a) any event after which none of WML or any subsidiary of WML has the applicable gaming concessions or authorizations in Macau in substantially the same manner and scope as WML and its subsidiaries are entitled to at the date on which the New Notes are issued, for a period of ten consecutive days or more, and such event has a material adverse effect on WML and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; or (b) the termination or modification of any such concessions or authorizations which has a material adverse effect on WML and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, each holder of the New Notes will have the right to require WML to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s New Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The New Notes are WML’s general unsecured obligations and rank pari passu in right of payment with all of WML’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness; will rank senior to all of WML’s future subordinated indebtedness, if any; will be effectively subordinated to all of WML’s future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt; and will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future obligations of WML’s subsidiaries, including WML’s existing credit facilities. The New Notes are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the New Notes are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale.
The Indentures contain covenants limiting WML’s (and certain of its subsidiaries’) ability to, among other things: merge or consolidate with another company; transfer or sell all or substantially all of its properties or assets; and lease all or substantially all of its properties or assets. The terms of the Indentures contain customary events of default, including, but not limited to: default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the New Notes; default in the payment when due of the
principal of, or premium, if any, on the New Notes; failure to comply with any payment obligations relating to the repurchase by WML of the New Notes upon a change of control; failure to comply with certain covenants in the Indentures; certain defaults on certain other indebtedness; failure to pay judgments against WML or certain subsidiaries that, in the aggregate, exceed $50 million; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. In the case of an event of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all New Notes then outstanding will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.
