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 February 2015, we paid a cash dividend of $1.50 per share. In each of May 2015, August 2015, and November 2015, we paid a cash dividend of $0.50 per share. In November 2014, we paid a cash dividend of $2.50 per share. In each of February 2014, May 2014, and August 2014, we paid a cash dividend of $1.25 per share.

On February 11, 2016, the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.50 per share, payable on March 2, 2016 to stockholders of record as of February 23, 2016.

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