Dividends

Wynn Resorts is a holding company and, as a result, our ability to pay dividends is dependent on our ability to obtain funds and our subsidiaries’ ability to provide funds to us. Restrictions imposed by our subsidiaries’ debt instruments significantly restrict certain key subsidiaries, including Wynn Las Vegas, LLC, Wynn America, LLC and Wynn Macau SA, from making dividends or distributions to Wynn Resorts. These restrictions are subject to certain exceptions for affiliated overhead expenses as defined in the agreements governing the debt instruments, unless certain financial and non-financial criteria have been satisfied.

In November 2014, we paid a cash dividend of $2.50 per share. In each of February 2014, May 2014, August 2014, we paid a cash dividend of $1.25 per share. In December 2013, we paid a cash dividend of $3.00 per share. In each of March 2013, June 2013, August 2013 and November 2013, we paid a cash dividend of $1.00 per share.

On February 3, 2015, we announced a cash dividend of $1.50 per share, payable on February 23, 2015 to Stockholders of record as of February 13, 2015.

Our Board of Directors will continue to periodically assess the level and appropriateness of any cash dividends.
