Prior to 15 August 2028, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings. On or after 15 August 2028, the Company may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a premium declining ratably to zero, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date.

6 The right in favor of the holders of the Senior Notes to require the Company to repurchase the Senior 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 Indenture, the Indenture will contain a change of control provision that would, if triggered, give rise to a right in favor of the holders of the Senior Notes to require the Company to repurchase the Senior 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; (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 Indenture, 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 Indenture 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.
