Wynn Macau Credit Facilities

The Company's Wynn Macau credit facilities consist of an approximately $2.30 billion equivalent senior secured term loan facility (the "Wynn Macau Term Loan") and an approximately $750 million equivalent senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Wynn Macau Revolver" and together with the Wynn Macau Term Loan, the "Wynn Macau Credit Facilities"). The borrower is Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. ("Wynn Macau SA"), an indirect subsidiary of WML. Wynn Macau SA has the ability to upsize the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities by an additional $1.0 billion in equivalent senior secured loans upon satisfaction of various conditions. Wynn Macau SA borrows and repays its revolving credit facility from time to time as cash needs permit.
In December 2018, Wynn Macau SA amended the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities by entering into the Amended Common Terms Agreement. The Wynn Macau Term Loan was previously repayable in graduating installments of between 2.50% to 7.33% of the principal amount on a quarterly basis commencing December 2018, with a final installment of 50% of the principal amount repayable in September 2021; and the final maturity of any outstanding borrowings from the Wynn Macau Revolver was previously repayable by September 2020. Following the execution of the Amended Common Terms Agreement, the Wynn Macau Term Loan is repayable in graduating installments of between 2.875% to 4.50% of the principal amount on a quarterly basis commencing September 30, 2020, with a final installment of 75% of the principal amount repayable in June 2022; and the final maturity of any outstanding borrowings from the Wynn Macau Revolver is in June 2022. The commitment fee required to be paid for unborrowed amounts under the Wynn Macau Revolver, if any, is between 0.52% and 0.79%, per annum, based on Wynn Macau SA's Leverage Ratio. The annual commitment fee is payable quarterly in arrears and is calculated based on the daily average of the unborrowed amounts.
The Wynn Macau Credit Facilities contain a requirement that Wynn Macau SA must make mandatory repayments of indebtedness from specified percentages of excess cash flow. If Wynn Macau SA's Leverage Ratio is greater than 4.5 to 1, then 25% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities) must be used for prepayment of indebtedness and cancellation of available borrowings under the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities. There is no mandatory prepayment in respect of Excess Cash Flow if Wynn Macau SA's Leverage Ratio is equal to or less than 4.5 to 1. The Wynn Macau Credit Facilities contain customary covenants restricting certain activities including, but not limited to: the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence or creation of liens on any of its property, sale and leaseback transactions, the ability to dispose of assets, and making loans or other investments. In addition, Wynn Macau SA is required by the financial covenants to maintain a Leverage Ratio of not greater than 4.25 to 1 and 4.00 to 1 for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020 and thereafter, respectively, and an Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities) of not less than 2.00 to 1 at any time.

Borrowings under the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities are guaranteed by Palo Real Estate Company Limited ("Palo"), a subsidiary of Wynn Macau SA, and by certain subsidiaries of the Company that own equity interests in Wynn Macau SA, and are secured by substantially all of the assets of Wynn Macau SA and Palo, and the equity interests in Wynn Macau SA. Borrowings under the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities are not guaranteed by the Company or WML.

In connection with the gaming concession contract of Wynn Macau SA, Wynn Macau SA entered into a Bank Guarantee Reimbursement Agreement with Banco Nacional Ultramarino, S.A. ("BNU") for the benefit of the Macau government. This guarantee assures Wynn Macau SA's performance under the casino concession agreement, including the payment of premiums, fines and indemnity for any material failure to perform under the terms of the concession agreement and the payment of any gaming taxes. As of December 31, 2019, the guarantee was in the amount of 300 million Macau patacas ("MOP") (approximately $37.4 million) and will remain at such amount until 180 days after the end of the term of the concession agreement in 2022. BNU, as issuer of the guarantee, is currently secured by a second priority security interest in the senior lender collateral package. From and after repayment of all indebtedness under the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities, Wynn Macau SA is obligated to promptly, upon demand by BNU, repay any claim made on the guarantee by the Macau government. BNU is paid an annual fee for the guarantee of MOP 2.3 million (approximately $0.3 million).

The Company expects to repay the Wynn Macau Term Loan in an aggregate amount equivalent to the $1.0 billion of gross proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 WML Notes, as defined below, over the next two years, subject to generating sufficient future operating cash flows from its Macau Operations. In February 2020, the Company prepaid $150.0 million of the Wynn Macau Term Loan, and accordingly, has presented that amount as a current liability on the accompany Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019.
WML 4 7/8% Senior Notes due 2024 and 5 1/2% Senior Notes due 2027

On September 20, 2017, WML issued the $600 million 4 7/8% Senior Notes due 2024 (the "2024 WML Notes") and the $750 million of 5 1/2% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 WML Notes" and together with the 2024 WML Notes, the "WML Notes"). WML used the net proceeds from the WML Notes and cash on hand to fund the cost of extinguishing the 5 1/4% Senior Notes due 2021.

The 2024 WML Notes bear interest at the rate of 4 7/8% per annum and mature on October 1, 2024. The 2027 WML Notes bear interest at the rate of 5 1/2% per annum and mature on October 1, 2027. Interest on the WML Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2018.
At any time prior to October 1, 2020 and October 1, 2022, WML may redeem the 2024 WML Notes and 2027 WML Notes, respectively, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the WML Notes or (b) a "make-whole" amount as determined by an independent investment banker in accordance with the terms of the indentures for the WML Notes, dated as of September 20, 2017 (the "WML Indentures"). In either case, the redemption price would include accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, at any time prior to October 1, 2020, WML may use the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2024 WML Notes and the 2027 WML Notes, at a redemption price equal to 104.875% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2024 WML Notes and 105.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2027 WML Notes, as applicable.
On or after October 1, 2020 and October 1, 2022, WML may redeem the 2024 WML Notes and 2027 WML 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 100% of the applicable principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. If WML undergoes a change of control (as defined in the WML Indentures), it must offer to repurchase the WML Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, WML may redeem the WML 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 WML Notes fails to meet certain requirements imposed by any Gaming Authority (as defined in the WML Indentures), WML may require the holder or beneficial owner to dispose of or redeem its WML Notes.
Upon the occurrence of (1) any event after which none of WML or any of its subsidiaries have such licenses, concessions, subconcessions or other permits or authorizations as necessary to conduct gaming activities in substantially the same scope as it does on the date of the WML Notes issuance, 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 WML and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (2) the termination, rescission, revocation or modification of any such licenses, concessions, subconcessions or other permits or authorizations which has had a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business, properties, or results of operations of WML and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, each holder of the WML Notes will have the right to require WML to repurchase all or any part of such holders' WML Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The WML 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 the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities and the WML Finance Credit Facility. The WML Notes are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and the WML Notes are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale.

WML 5 1/8% Senior Notes due 2029
On December 17, 2019, WML issued $1.0 billion 5 1/8% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "2029 WML Notes") pursuant to an indenture (the "WML 2029 Indenture"). WML expects to use the net proceeds from the 2029 WML Notes to facilitate the repayment of $1.0 billion of amounts outstanding under the Wynn Macau Term Loan, as described under Wynn Macau Credit Facilities. The 2029 WML Notes bear interest at the rate of 5 1/8% per annum and mature on December 15, 2029. Interest on the 2029 WML Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2020.

At any time prior to December 15, 2022, WML may use the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 WML Notes at a redemption price equal to 105.125% of the aggregate
principal amount of the 2029 WML Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. At any time prior to December 15, 2024, WML may redeem the 2029 WML Notes in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 WML Notes to be redeemed, or (b) a make-whole amount as determined by an independent investment banker in accordance with the terms of the WML 2029 Indenture, in either case, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

In addition, on or after December 15, 2024, WML may redeem the 2029 WML Notes in whole or in part at a premium decreasing annually from 102.563% of the applicable principal amount to 100.000%, plus accrued and unpaid interest. If WML undergoes a Change of Control (as defined in the WML 2029 Indenture), it must offer to repurchase the 2029 WML Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, WML may redeem the 2029 WML 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 2029 WML Notes fails to meet certain requirements imposed by any Gaming Authority (as defined in the WML 2029 Indenture), WML may require the holder or beneficial owner to dispose of or redeem its 2029 WML 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 2029 WML 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 2029 WML Notes will have the right to require WML to repurchase all or any part of such holder's 2029 WML Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The 2029 WML 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 2029 WML Notes are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the 2029 WML Notes are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale.

The WML 2029 Indenture contains 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 WML 2029 Indenture contain customary events of default, including, but not limited to: default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the 2029 WML Notes; default in the payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if any, on the 2029 WML Notes; failure to comply with any payment obligations relating to the repurchase by WML of the 2029 WML Notes upon a change of control; failure to comply with certain covenants in the WML 2029 Indenture; 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.

U.S. and Corporate Related Debt

Refinancing Transactions

On September 20, 2019, WRF and its subsidiary Wynn Resorts Capital Corp. (collectively with WRF, the "WRF Issuers"), each an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5 1/8% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "2029 WRF Notes") pursuant to an indenture (the "2029 Indenture") among the WRF Issuers, the guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), in a private offering. The 2029 WRF Notes were issued at par.

Concurrently with the issuance of the 2029 WRF Notes, WRF entered into a credit agreement (the "WRF Credit Agreement") providing for a new first lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion (the "WRF Term Loan") and a new first lien revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $850.0 million (the "WRF Revolver" and together with the WRF Term Loan, the "WRF Credit Facilities") (the WRF Credit Facilities and 2029 WRF Notes are collectively referred to as the "Refinancing Transactions").
WRF used the net proceeds from the Refinancing Transactions to refinance the existing Wynn America credit facilities and the Wynn Resorts term loan and to pay related fees and expenses totaling $19.3 million, of which $15.1 million was recorded as debt issuance costs within the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company recognized the Refinancing Transactions primarily as a modification of existing debt with the related unamortized debt issuance costs reallocated to the new debt instruments. For those components of debt that were deemed extinguished, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $12.4 million.

WRF Credit Facilities

Subject to certain exceptions, the WRF Credit Facilities bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum. The annual fee required to pay for unborrowed amounts under the WRF Revolver, if any, is 0.25% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, calculated based on the daily average of the unborrowed amounts under such credit facilities. The Company is required to make quarterly repayments on the WRF Term Loan of $12.5 million beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019, with any remaining principal amount outstanding repayable in full on September 20, 2024.

The WRF Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and negative and affirmative covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants that restrict our ability to pay dividends or distributions to any direct or indirect subsidiaries, to incur and/or repay indebtedness, to make certain restricted payments, and to enter into mergers and acquisitions, negative pledges, liens, transactions with affiliates, and sales of assets. In addition, Wynn Resorts Finance is subject to financial covenants, including maintaining a Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, as defined in the WRF Credit Agreement. Commencing with the fourth quarter of 2019, the Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio is not to exceed 3.75 to 1.00.

The WRF Credit Facilities are guaranteed by each of WRF's existing and future wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries (the "Guarantors"), subject to certain exceptions, and are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of WRF's and each of the guarantors' existing and future property and assets, subject to certain exceptions, including a limitation on the amount of collateral granted by Wynn Las Vegas, LLC ("WLV") and its subsidiaries so as to not violate the indenture governing WLV's outstanding senior notes.

WRF 5 1/8% Senior Notes, due 2029

The 2029 WRF Notes will mature on October 1, 2029 and bear interest at the rate of 5 1/8% per annum, payable in arrears semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2020. The WRF Issuers may redeem some or all of the 2029 WRF Notes at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 WRF Notes to be redeemed plus a make-whole premium, as defined in the 2029 Indenture, and accrued and unpaid interest. On or after July 1, 2029, the WRF Issuers may redeem some or all of the 2029 WRF Notes at the redemption prices set forth in the 2029 Indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest. In the event of a change of control triggering event, the WRF Issuers will be required to offer to repurchase the 2029 WRF Notes at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the repurchase date. The 2029 WRF Notes are also subject to disposition and redemption requirements imposed by gaming laws and regulations of applicable gaming regulatory authorities.

The 2029 WRF Notes are the WRF Issuers' senior unsecured obligations and rank pari passu in right of payment with the WLV senior notes due 2023, 2025, and 2027, and rank equally in right of payment with Wynn Las Vegas' guarantee of the WRF Credit Facilities, and rank senior in right of payment to all of the Issuers' existing and future subordinated debt. The 2029 WRF Notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of the WRF Issuers' existing and future secured debt (to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt), and structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of any of the WRF Issuers' subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 2029 WRF Notes, including WML and its subsidiaries.

The 2029 WRF Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by each of WRF's existing domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, including Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and each of its subsidiaries that guarantees its existing senior notes due 2023, 2025, and 2027. The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of the Guarantors and rank senior in right of payment to all of their future subordinated debt. The guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future liabilities of the Guarantors that are not so subordinated and will be effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of such Guarantors' existing and future secured debt (to the extent of the collateral securing such debt).
The 2029 Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the WRF Issuers and the guarantors to, among other things, enter into sale-leaseback transactions, create or incur liens to secure debt, and merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of the WRF Issuers' assets. These covenants are subject to exceptions and qualifications set forth in the 2029 Indenture.

The 2029 Indenture also contains customary events of default, including, but not limited to, failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain covenants, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, and failure to pay certain judgments. An event of default under the 2029 Indenture allows either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2029 WRF Notes, as applicable, issued under such 2029 Indenture to accelerate the amounts due under the 2029 WRF Notes, or in the case of bankruptcy or insolvency, will automatically cause the acceleration of the amounts due under the 2029 WRF Notes.

The 2029 WRF Notes were offered pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The 2029 WRF Notes were offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act or outside the United States to certain persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2029 WRF Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws. Therefore, the 2029 WRF Notes may not be offered or sold within the United States to, or for the account or benefit of, any United States person unless the offer or sale would qualify for a registration exemption from the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

In May 2013, Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp.

The 2023 WLV Notes were issued at par. The Issuers used the net proceeds from the 2023 WLV Notes to cover the cost of extinguishing the 7 7/8% First Mortgage Notes due November 2017.

The 2023 WLV Notes will mature on May 30, 2023 and bear interest at the rate of 4 1/4% per annum.

Retail Term Loan

On July 25, 2018, Wynn/CA Plaza Property Owner, LLC and Wynn/CA Property Owner, LLC (collectively, the "Retail Borrowers"), subsidiaries of the Retail Joint Venture, entered into a term loan agreement (the "Retail Term Loan Agreement").

The Retail Term Loan Agreement provides for a term loan facility to the Retail Borrowers of $615.0 million (the "Retail Term Loan"). The Retail Term Loan is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Retail Borrowers. The Retail Term Loan matures on July 24, 2025 and bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.70% per annum. In accordance with the Retail Term Loan Agreement, the Retail Borrowers entered into an interest rate collar agreement with a LIBOR floor of 1.00% and a ceiling of 3.75%. The Retail Borrowers distributed approximately $589 million of the net proceeds of the Retail Term Loan to their members on a proportionate basis to each member's ownership percentage. At any time subsequent to July 25, 2019, the Retail Borrowers may prepay the Retail Term Loan, in whole or in part, with no premium above the principal amount.

The Retail Term Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and affirmative and negative covenants for debt facilities of this type, including, among other things, limitations on leasing matters, incurrence of indebtedness, distributions and transactions with affiliates. The Retail Term Loan Agreement also provides for customary sweeps of the Retail Borrowers' excess cash in the event of a default or in the event the Retail Borrowers fail to maintain certain financial ratios as defined in the Retail Term Loan Agreement. In addition, the Company will indemnify the lenders under the Retail Term Loan and be liable, in each case, for certain customary environmental and non-recourse carve out matters pursuant to a hazardous materials indemnity agreement and a recourse indemnity agreement, each entered into concurrently with the execution of the Retail Term Loan Agreement.

In accordance with the terms of the Retail Term Loan Agreement, the Retail Borrowers entered into a five year interest rate collar with a notional value of $615.0 million for a cash payment of $3.9 million in July 2018. The interest rate collar establishes a range whereby the Retail Borrowers will pay the counterparty if one-month LIBOR falls below the established floor rate of 1.00%, and the counterparty will pay the Retail Borrowers if one-month LIBOR exceeds the ceiling rate of 3.75%. The interest rate collar settles monthly commencing in August 2019 through the termination date in August 2024. No payments or receipts are exchanged on interest rate collar contracts unless interest rates rise above or fall below the pre-determined ceiling or floor rate, respectively. The Company measures the fair value of the interest rate collar at each balance sheet date based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates observable market inputs such as market volatility and interest rates, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. As of December 31, 2019, the fair value of the interest rate collar was a liability of $3.8 million and was recorded in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.
