Wynn Resorts, Limited, a Nevada corporation (together with its subsidiaries, "Wynn Resorts" or the "Company"), is a designer, developer, and operator of integrated resorts featuring luxury hotel rooms, high-end retail space, an array of dining and entertainment options, meeting and convention facilities, and gaming.

In the Macau Special Administrative Region ("Macau") of the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), the Company owns approximately 72% of Wynn Macau, Limited ("WML"), which includes the operations of the Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau resorts. The Company refers to Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau as its Macau Operations. In Las Vegas, Nevada, the Company operates and, with the exception of certain retail space, owns 100% of Wynn Las Vegas. Additionally, the Company is a 50.1% owner and managing member of a joint venture that owns and leases certain retail space at Wynn Las Vegas (the "Retail Joint Venture"). The Company refers to Wynn Las Vegas, Encore, an expansion at Wynn Las Vegas, and the Retail Joint Venture as its Las Vegas Operations. In Everett, Massachusetts, the Company owns 100% of and operates Encore Boston Harbor, an integrated resort. The Company also holds an approximately 74% interest in, and consolidates, Wynn Interactive Ltd. ("Wynn Interactive"), through which it operates online sports betting and gaming businesses in the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as a social casino business.

Recent Developments Related to COVID-19

Macau Operations

Visitation to Macau has fallen significantly since the outbreak of COVID-19, driven by the strong deterrent effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on travel and social activities, quarantine measures put in place in Macau and elsewhere, travel and entry restrictions and conditions in Macau, the PRC, Hong Kong and Taiwan involving COVID-19 testing, among other things, and the suspension or reduced accessibility of transportation to and from Macau. Although there have been periods during which certain restrictions and conditions were eased by the Macau government to allow for greater visitation and quarantine-free travel to Macau, adverse conditions and evolving conditions created by and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may cause these restrictions and conditions to be reintroduced. The Company is currently unable to determine when protective measures and the suspension of certain offerings in effect at our Macau Operations will be lifted. Given the uncertainty around the extent and timing of the potential future spread or mitigation of COVID-19 and around the imposition or relaxation of protective measures, management cannot reasonably estimate the impact to the Company's future results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

Liquidity

The COVID-19 pandemic has materially impacted and is likely to continue to materially impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, of $2.32 billion, and had access to $835.6 million of available borrowing capacity from the WRF Revolver and $211.9 million of available borrowing capacity from the WM Cayman II Revolver. As a result of the negative impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and will likely continue to have, on our operating income, the Company has suspended its dividend program for the foreseeable future. Given the Company's liquidity position as of March 31, 2022, the Company believes it will be able to support continuing operations and respond to the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic disruptions.

Macau Gaming Concession

The term of the Company's gaming concession agreement with the Macau government ends on June 26, 2022. If the term of this concession agreement is not extended, renewed or replaced by a new gaming concession, all of the Company's gaming operations and related equipment in Macau will be automatically transferred to the Macau government without compensation on that date and the Company will cease to generate gaming revenues from its Macau Operations. In addition, under the indentures governing the Company’s $4.7 billion aggregate principal amount of WML Senior Notes and the facility agreement governing the WM Cayman II Revolver, upon the occurrence of any event after which the Company does not 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 of the issue date of the respective senior notes or the date of the facility agreement, for a period of 10 consecutive days or more
in the case of the WML Senior Notes or a period of 30 consecutive days or more in the case of the WM Cayman II Revolver, and such event has a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business, properties or results of operations of WML and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, holders of the WML Senior Notes can require the Company to repurchase all or any part of the WML Senior Notes at par, plus any accrued and unpaid interest (the “Special Put Option”), and any amounts owed under the WM Cayman II Revolver may become immediately due and payable (the “Property Mandatory Prepayment Event”).

In January 2022, the Macau government published a draft of its proposed revisions to the gaming law which is currently under review by the Macau Legislative Assembly. On March 3, 2022, the Macau government announced its intention to extend the term of Macau’s six gaming concession and subconcession contracts until December 31, 2022 in order to ensure sufficient time to complete the amendment to the Macau gaming law and to conduct a public tender for the awarding of new gaming concessions contracts. The Macau government invited Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. ("WRM") to submit a formal request for an extension along with a commitment to pay the Macau government approximately 47.0 million Macau pataca (MOP) (approximately $5.8 million) and provided a bank guarantee to secure the fulfillment of WRM’s payment obligations towards its employees should WRM be unsuccessful in tendering for a new concession contract after its concession expires. WRM submitted a request for an extension of its concession agreement on March 11, 2022, which is subject to approval by the Macau government. The Company is monitoring developments with respect to the Macau government’s concession extension and renewal process, and at this time believes that its concession agreement will be extended and renewed beyond June 26, 2022. If the Company is unable to extend or renew its concession agreement or obtain a new gaming concession agreement, and an election by the WML Senior Note holders to exercise the Special Put Option and the triggering of the Property Mandatory Prepayment Event would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
