Holders

There were approximately 185 holders of record of our common stock as of February 15, 2017.

Dividends

Wynn Resorts is a holding company and, as a result, our ability to pay dividends is highly 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 2016, May 2016, August 2016, and November 2016, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.50 per share.

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.

On January 26, 2017, the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.50 per share, payable on February 28, 2017, to stockholders of record as of February 14, 2017.

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

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

In November 2016, we repurchased 5,763 shares in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations on vested restricted stock at an average price of $87.53 per share, for a total amount of $0.5 million.
