[removed: Moreover, once travel advisories and restrictions are fully lifted,] [added: Nevertheless, regional] demand for casino resorts may remain weak for a significant length of time and inbound tourism to Macau may be slow to recover.
[removed: We] [added: As a result, we] cannot predict when, or even if, [removed: operating results] [added: operations] at our properties in Macau will return to [removed: pre-outbreak] [added: pre-pandemic] levels.
To the extent the [removed: COVID-19 pandemic] [added: reimposition of these conditions and/or a slow pace of recovery at our Macau Operations] adversely affects our business, operations, financial condition and operating results, [removed: it may] [added: such factors] also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks related to our business, including those relating to our ability to raise capital, our high level of indebtedness, our need to generate sufficient cash flows to service our indebtedness, and our ability to comply with the covenants or other restrictions contained in the agreements that govern our indebtedness.
Failure to adhere to the regulatory and gaming requirements in Macau could result in the revocation of our Macau Operations' concession or otherwise negatively affect [removed: its] [added: our] operations in Macau.
Each of these regulatory authorities has extensive power to license and oversee the operations of our casino resorts and digital offerings and has taken [removed: action] and could [added: in the future] take action against the Company and its related licensees, including actions that [added: have and] could [added: further] affect the ability or terms upon which our subsidiaries hold their gaming licenses and concessions, and the suitability of the Company to continue as a stockholder of those affiliates.
[removed: In addition, even if such regulatory approvals are obtained and/or maintained, certain] [added: Certain] states’ sports betting laws limit online sports betting to a finite number of retail operators, such as casinos, tribes or tracks.
We will be dependent on strategic relationships [removed: with certain retail operators] in order to be able to offer our products in such states.
[removed: Ongoing investigations,] [added: Investigations,] litigation and other disputes could distract [removed: management] [added: management, damage our reputation,] and result in negative publicity and additional scrutiny from regulators.
As discussed in Item 3—"Legal Proceedings" and Item 8—"Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," Note 17, "Commitments and Contingencies," the Company is subject to various [removed: claims] [added: investigations, litigation and other disputes] related to our operations.
These [removed: foregoing investigations, litigation] and [removed: other disputes and] any additional such matters that may arise in the future, [removed: can be] [added: even if routine, are] expensive and [removed: may] divert management's attention from the operations of our businesses.
[removed: The investigations,] [added: Investigations,] litigation and other disputes [added: have in the past, and] may [removed: also] [added: in the future,] lead to additional scrutiny from regulators, which could lead to investigations relating to, and possibly a negative impact on, the Company's gaming licenses and the Company's ability to bid successfully for new gaming market opportunities.
In addition, [removed: the actions, litigation and] publicity [added: from these matters have, or in the future,] could negatively impact our business, reputation and competitive position and [removed: could] reduce [added: investor] demand for shares of Wynn Resorts and WML and [removed: thereby have a negative] [added: negatively] impact [removed: on] the trading prices of [removed: their] [added: those] respective shares.
Our financial results have been, and are expected to continue to be, affected by the global and regional [removed: economy.][added: economies in which we have operations.]
Various types of restrictions [added: and sanctions] have been placed by government agencies on targeted industries and companies which could potentially negatively impact the intended subject as well as other companies and persons sharing a common country of operations.
Consumer demand for hotels, casino resorts, trade shows, conventions and [removed: for] the type of luxury amenities that we offer is particularly sensitive to downturns in the [removed: economy,] [added: economies in] which [added: we operate, which could harm consumer confidence in the economy and] adversely affect discretionary [removed: spending on leisure activities.][added: spending.]
Because a significant number of our customers come from the PRC, Hong Kong and Taiwan, the economic condition of Macau and its surrounding region, in [removed: particular, affects the gaming industry in Macau and our Macau Operations.]
[removed: Changes] [added: As a result, changes] in discretionary [removed: consumer] spending or consumer preferences brought about by factors such as perceived or actual [added: negative] general economic conditions, [removed: high unemployment,] perceived or actual changes in disposable consumer income and wealth, inflationary [removed: pressure,] [added: pressures,] economic recession, changes in consumer [removed: confidence in the economy,] [added: confidence, including] fears of war and acts of terrorism could reduce customer demand for the luxury amenities and leisure activities we offer and may negatively impact our [removed: operating results.][added: results of operations.]
Demand for our products and services may be negatively impacted by [removed: strained international relations,] [added: geopolitical tensions,] economic disruptions, visa and travel restrictions or difficulties, [removed: anti-corruption campaigns,] restrictions on international money transfers and other policies or campaigns implemented by regional governments.
[added: In addition, policies adopted from time to time by governments, including] any visa and travel restrictions or difficulties faced by our customers such as restrictions on exit visas for travelers requiring them or restrictions on visitor entry visas for the jurisdictions in which we operate, [removed: could disrupt] [added: have and may in] the [added: future decrease the] number of visitors to our properties from those affected places, including from the PRC, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Such campaigns, as well as monetary outflow [removed: policies] [added: policies,] have specifically led to tighter monetary transfer regulations in a number of areas.
These policies may affect and impact the number of visitors [added: to our properties] and the amount of money they [added: are willing to] spend.
The overall effect of these campaigns and monetary transfer restrictions may negatively affect our [removed: revenues and] [added: revenues,] results of [removed: operations.][added: operations and cash flows.]
Acts of terrorism or concerns over the possibility of such acts [added: have and] may [added: again] severely disrupt domestic and international travel, which [removed: would] [added: has and could in the future] result in a decrease in customer visits to [removed: Las Vegas and Macau, including] our properties.
Disruptions in air or other forms of travel as a result of any terrorist act, outbreak of hostilities, escalation of war or worldwide infectious disease outbreak [removed: would] have [removed: an] [added: and could in the future have a material and] adverse effect on our business and financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In addition, governmental action and uncertainty resulting from global political trends and policies of major global economies, including potential barriers to travel, trade and immigration [removed: can reduce] [added: have reduced] demand for hospitality products and services, including visitation to our resorts.
The [added: future] occurrence or the possibility of attacks [removed: could] [added: may] cause all or portions of affected properties to be shut down for prolonged periods, resulting in a loss of [removed: income; generally] [added: revenue,] reduce travel to affected areas for tourism and business or adversely affect the willingness of customers to stay in or avail themselves of the services of the affected [removed: properties; expose us to a risk of monetary claims arising from death, injury or damage to property caused by any such attack; and result in higher costs for security and insurance premiums, all of which could adversely affect our results.][added: properties.]
For example, WML's board of directors concluded not to recommend the payment of a dividend with respect to the years ended December 31, [removed: 2021, 2020] [added: 2022, 2021] and [removed: 2019] [added: 2020] due to the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
If [removed: the COVID-19 pandemic continues to interrupt] our [added: Macau Operations’] gaming [removed: operations or visitation] [added: business is slow] to [removed: Macau or if] [added: recover to pre-pandemic levels following] the [removed: outbreak escalates,] [added: recent discontinuation of travel-related restrictions and conditions which materially impacted visitation to Macau,] it may continue to have an adverse effect on our subsidiaries' results of operations and their ability to pay dividends or distributions to us in the future.
*Macau Operations.* [removed: There are three] [added: We hold one of six] gaming concessions [removed: and three subconcessions] authorized by the Macau government for the operation of casinos in [removed: Macau, of which we hold one of the gaming concessions.][added: Macau.]
[removed: Although the Macau government has indicated that it intends to grant only six concessions when the current concessions and subconcessions terminate, if] [added: If] the Macau government were to allow additional competitors to operate in [removed: Macau through the grant of additional concessions or subconcessions,] [added: Macau,] we would face additional competition, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Several of the current concessionaires [removed: and subconcessionaires] have opened facilities in the Cotai area over the past few years, which has significantly increased gaming and non-gaming offerings in Macau, with continued development [removed: and further openings in Cotai] expected in the near future.
Additionally, certain other Asian countries and regions have legalized or in the future may legalize gaming, such as Japan, Taiwan and Thailand, which could [added: further] increase competition for our Macau Operations.
*Las Vegas Operations and Encore Boston Harbor.* Our Las Vegas Operations compete with other Las Vegas Strip hotels and with other hotel casinos in Las Vegas on the basis of overall atmosphere, range of amenities, level of service, price, [removed: location, entertainment, theme and size, among other factors.]
Furthermore, new competitors, whether licensed or not, may enter [added: the online sports betting and online casino industries.]
Adverse global or regional economic conditions, [added: as discussed above,] could [added: also] reduce the frequency of visits by these customers and revenue [removed: generated] [added: we generate] from them.
Our inability to collect gaming debts could have a significant negative impact on our [removed: operating results.][added: financial condition and results of operations.]
Any violation of applicable Anti-Money Laundering laws, regulations or the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act [added: ("FCPA")] or sanctions could adversely affect our business, performance, prospects, value, financial condition, and results of operations.
[added: If we] or [added: our affiliates, or either of our respective directors, employees or] agents fail to comply with applicable laws or Company policies governing our operations, the Company may face investigations, prosecutions and other legal proceedings and actions, which could result in civil penalties, administrative remedies and criminal sanctions.
We have [removed: incurred] [added: incurred, and may in the future incur,] costs to comply with environmental requirements, such as those relating to discharges into the air, water and land, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous waste and the cleanup of properties affected by hazardous substances.
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, visitation to Macau has fallen significantly, driven by the strong deterrent effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on travel and social activities, quarantine measures put in place in Macau and elsewhere.
Although these containment measures and restrictions had generally been lifted in the U.S. by early 2022, they remained in place in Macau, the PRC, Hong Kong and Taiwan for most of 2022.
Over the course of December 2022 and January 2023, Macau authorities relaxed or eliminated most COVID-19 related protective measures, and as of February 27, 2023, there are no remaining entry restrictions or mandatory quarantine requirements in place for travelers to Macau, and testing requirements for inbound travelers from the PRC, Hong Kong, and Taiwan have been discontinued.
Given ongoing uncertainty around the likelihood, extent, and timing of a potential reimposition of restrictions on the general public, travel or certain activities and their effect on our Macau Operations in the future, we are unable to reasonably estimate the impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
As a result, if we do not have a physical or retail operation in those states, which is most of the states in which we currently offer sports betting and our online casino, we will be, dependent on a strategic relationships with retail operators to obtain and/or maintain the requisite legal authorization from the respective state.
If we cannot establish, renew or manage these relationships, including on terms acceptable to us, we would not be allowed to operate in those jurisdictions.
Failure to obtain and maintain such regulatory approvals could have a material adverse effect on Wynn Interactive’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
In addition, improper conduct by our employees, agents or gaming promoters could damage our reputation and/or lead to litigation or legal proceedings that could result in civil or criminal penalties, including substantial monetary fines.
In certain circumstances, it may not be economical to defend against such matters and/or our legal strategy may not ultimately result in us prevailing in a matter.
Our business is particularly sensitive to reductions in discretionary consumer spending, and deterioration or a protracted extension of the current negative macroeconomic environment, including an economic downturn or recession, or geopolitical tensions could adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
particular, affects the gaming industry in Macau and our Macau Operations.
Current macroeconomic conditions, including historic levels of inflation and relatively low levels of unemployment, have led to rising interest rates, disruption and volatility within the capital markets, and fiscal and monetary policy uncertainty.
As a result, our gaming revenues, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected by a deterioration of the current macroeconomic environment, an economic slowdown or recession in the U.S. or global economy, or perception that any of these events may occur.
Geopolitical tensions, notably with respect to international trade, including increases in tariffs and company and industry specific restrictions, in addition to changes in national security policies and other similar and geopolitical events, could cause economic disruption and adversely impact our business and results of operations.
Most of our revenue is from customers who travel to our properties.
In addition, such occurrences expose us to a risk of monetary claims arising from death, injury or damage to property caused by any such attack and may result in higher costs for security and insurance premiums, all of which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
location, entertainment, theme and size, among other factors.
Our inability to collect gaming debts could have a significant negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Compliance with evolving laws and regulations, and the interpretations thereof, is expensive and results in compliance risks.
In addition, public companies, financial institutions, the gaming industry and casinos are highly regulated, and compliance with such regulations is costly and subjects us to liability if we are not, or are perceived to not be, compliant.

Pursuant to the Gaming Concession Contract and applicable Macau laws, the Macau government may rescind the gaming concession if Wynn Macau SA fails to fulfill its obligations under the Macau law or the Gaming Concession Contract, including in the circumstances of (i) endangerment to the national security of mainland China or Macau, (ii) failure on the part of Wynn Macau SA to perform its obligations under the Gaming Concession Contract, (iii) public interest, and (iv) Wynn Macau SA ceasing to be eligible for the gaming concession under the Macau gaming law.
If the Macau government rescinds the Gaming Concession Contract due to the Wynn Macau SA’s non-fulfilment, or perceived non-fulfillment, of its obligations, Wynn Macau SA will be required to transfer to the Macau government, free from any encumbrance or lien and without compensation, all of its casinos, gaming assets and equipment and ownership rights to its casino areas in Macau.
Beginning in the eighth year of Wynn Macau SA’s concession, the Macau government may exercise its right to redeem the concession by providing Wynn Macau SA with at least one-year prior written notice.
In such event, Wynn Macau SA would be entitled to fair and equitable compensation pursuant to the Macau gaming law.
The amount of such compensation relating to the projects agreed with the Macau government would be determined based on the earnings of these projects, before interest, depreciation and amortization for the fiscal year immediately preceding the date the redemption is declared, multiplied by the number of years remaining on the term of the Gaming Concession Contract.
Wynn Macau SA is currently in its first year of concession.
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission has broad authority to consider conduct outside of Massachusetts for continued licensure in Massachusetts.
The Massachusetts Gaming Act requires a gaming licensee to affirmatively maintain its suitability to hold a gaming license in Massachusetts.
Under the MGC’s continuing duty regulations, we are required to report to notify and update the MGC of certain matters including but not limited to any denial, suspension or revocation in any jurisdiction of a gaming related license; any discipline, including a fine or warning, related to gaming operations imposed upon the gaming licensee or qualifier by any government agency in any jurisdiction; any arrest, indictment, charge or criminal conviction of any qualifier in any jurisdiction; any complaints, allegations, or notice of investigation thereof against the gaming licensee, qualifier, or any gaming entity owned or operated by the parent to the gaming licensee, that if substantiated could reasonably lead to potential revocation or suspension of the license or approval held by the gaming licensee, qualifier, or gaming entity owned or operated by the parent to the gaming licensee, in that jurisdiction and/or imposition of a fine of $50,000 or greater.
Licensing or other disciplinary action against us outside of Massachusetts, including by the government of Macau may be considered by the MGC in assessment of our ongoing suitability to hold a license in Massachusetts and may subject us to fines, license conditions, license suspension or revocation.
We are approved by the Macau government to operate 570 gaming tables and 1,100 gaming machines at our Macau Operations currently.
As of December 31, 2022, we had total outstanding debt of approximately $12.16 billion.
See Item 1—Business "Our Resorts."
These restrictions include, among other things, limitations on our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or distributions or repurchase equity; incur additional debt; make investments; create liens on assets to secure debt; enter into transactions with affiliates; issue stock
In January 2020, an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified and has since then spread around the world.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the spread, and risk of resurgence, of COVID-19 and related variants may continue to negatively impact many aspects of our business and the ability and desire of people to travel and participate in activities at crowded indoor places, such as those we offer at our properties.
In response to and as part of a continuing effort to reduce the initial spread of COVID-19, each of our properties was closed temporarily pursuant to government directives.
Since reopening, we have implemented certain COVID-19 specific protective measures at each location.
Although all of our properties are currently open, we cannot predict whether future closures, in full or in part, will occur.
For example, in response to an increase in COVID-19 cases in Massachusetts, on November 2, 2020, the Governor of Massachusetts issued a directive limiting the operating hours of certain businesses, including restaurants and casinos, effective November 6, 2020.
Encore Boston Harbor modified its hours of operation as a result of this directive, which was subsequently lifted on January 25, 2021.
Visitation to our properties and gross gaming revenues significantly decreased following the outbreak of COVID-19, driven by the strong deterrent effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on travel and social activities, broad quarantine measures, travel restrictions and advisories, including recommendations by the U.S. Department of State and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and in Macau, the suspension or reduced availability of the IVS, group tour scheme and other travel visas for visitors.
While some of the initial protective measures and restrictions have eased since their initial implementation, certain border control, travel-related restrictions and conditions, including COVID-19 testing and other procedures remain in place in Macau.
Given the evolving conditions created by and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are currently unable to determine when all travel-related restrictions and conditions will be fully lifted.
Measures that have been lifted or are expected to be lifted may be reintroduced if there are adverse developments in the COVID-19 situation.
In particular, consumer behavior related to discretionary spending and traveling, including demand for casino resorts, may be negatively impacted by the adverse changes in the perceived or actual economic climate, including higher unemployment rates, declines in income levels and loss of personal wealth resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition, we cannot predict the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our partners, such as tenants, travel agencies, suppliers and other vendors, which may adversely impact our operations or planned development projects.
Given the uncertainty around the extent and timing of the potential future spread or mitigation of COVID-19 and around the imposition or relaxation of containment measures, the impact on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition in 2022 and potentially thereafter may be material, but cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased global economic and demand uncertainty.
Global recovery from the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic could take many years, which could continue to adversely impact our financial condition and operations.
Laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate can be changed or interpreted differently in the future.
Our operations are exposed to the risk of changes in laws and policies of the jurisdictions in which we operate.
In addition, those laws and regulations could be interpreted differently in the future.
We cannot predict the future likelihood or
outcome of legislation or referendums in jurisdictions where we operate or the impact of those changes on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
For example, on January 18, 2022, the Macau authorities published proposed amendments to the Macau gaming law.
These amendments contemplate, for example, the awarding of up to six gaming concessions with a term up to ten years with a maximum three-year extension possible, an increase in the minimum capital requirement applicable to concession holders to 5 billion Macau patacas (approximately $623 million), and a prohibition on revenue sharing arrangements between gaming promoters and concession holders.
Until the adoption of final revisions to the Macau gaming law by the Macau authorities, we cannot predict the amendments that will ultimately be adopted and whether such amendments will have a material impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
A “skin” is a legal authorization from a state that provides a market access opportunity for mobile operators to offer online sports betting services pursuant to a relationship with a casino, tribe or track.
The entities that control those “skins,” and the numbers of “skins” available, are typically determined by a state’s sports betting law.
In most of the jurisdictions in which we offer or may offer sports betting
and our online casino, we currently and in the future may rely on a retail/physical casino, tribe or track to get a “skin.” These “skins” are what allows us to gain access to jurisdictions where online operators are required to have a retail relationship.
If we cannot establish, renew or manage our relationships, our relationships could terminate and we would not be allowed to operate in those jurisdictions unless and until we enter into new relationships.
As a result, Wynn Interactive’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Our business is particularly sensitive to reductions in discretionary consumer spending, including as a result of economic downturns or increasing geopolitical tensions.
Any severe or prolonged slowdown in the global or regional economy may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Recently there have also been heightened tensions in international relations, notably with respect to international trade, including increases in tariffs and company and industry specific restrictions.
These issues, in addition to changes in national security policies and geopolitical issues, can impact the global and regional economy and impact our business in a negative fashion.
A significant amount of our gaming revenues is generated from customers arriving from the PRC, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Strained international relations, economic disruption and other similar events could negatively impact the number of visitors to our facilities and the amount they spend.
In addition, policies adopted from time to time by governments, including
Only a small amount of our business is and will be generated by local residents.
Most of our customers travel to reach our Las Vegas and Macau properties.
Currently, there is no certainty as to whether the WML board of directors will recommend a payment of dividend for 2022.

In Everett, Massachusetts, we operate Encore Boston Harbor, an integrated resort.
We expect to use the proceeds from the EBH Transaction in accordance with the reinvestment and asset sale provisions of our senior secured credit facilities.
*COVID-19 Update*
Over the course of December 2022 and January 2023, Macau authorities relaxed or eliminated most COVID-19 related protective measures, and as of February 27, 2023, there are no remaining entry restrictions or mandatory quarantine requirements in place for travelers to Macau, and testing requirements for inbound travelers from the PRC, Hong Kong, and Taiwan have been discontinued.
Nevertheless, given the inherent uncertainty around the likelihood, extent, and timing of a potential reimposition of restrictions on the general public, travel, or certain activities, management is unable to reasonably predict whether such restrictions would impact our properties in the future, or the extent such restrictions, if reimposed, would impact our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
We typically expect our win as a percentage of turnover from these operations to be within the range of 3.1% to 3.4%; however, reduced gaming volumes as a result of COVID-19 containment measures implemented in Macau may cause volatility in our Macau Operations’ VIP win percentages.

The decrease in operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily driven by decreases of $472.7 million and $314.8 million at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau, respectively, resulting from decreased gaming volumes due to certain travel-related restrictions and conditions, including COVID-19 testing and other procedures related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The decrease in net loss attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited for the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily related to a gain recognized upon closing of the EBH Transaction and decreased marketing costs at Wynn Interactive.

Casino revenues decreased as a result of lower gaming volumes at our Macau Operations due to pandemic-related travel restrictions, offset by higher gaming volumes at our Las Vegas Operations and Encore Boston Harbor.

On June 23, 2019, we opened Encore Boston Harbor, an integrated resort in Everett, Massachusetts.
*Macau Operations*
Beginning in June 2020, certain restrictions and conditions have eased to allow for visitation to Macau as some regions continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Quarantine-free travel, subject to COVID-19 safeguards such as testing and the usual visa requirements, has been reintroduced between Macau and most areas and cities within the PRC, and in September 2020, PRC authorities fully resumed the IVS exit visa program, which permits individual PRC citizens from nearly 50 PRC cities to travel to Macau for tourism purposes.
While total visitation from PRC to Macau increased meaningfully in 2021 compared to 2020, total visitation from PRC to Macau remained 74.8% below 2019 levels.
Given the evolving conditions created by and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, measures that have been lifted may be reintroduced if there are adverse developments in the COVID-19 situation in Macau and other regions with access to Macau, and the Company is currently unable to determine when protective measures and the suspension of certain offerings in effect at our Macau Operations will be lifted.
Given the uncertainty around the extent and timing of the potential future spread or mitigation of COVID-19 and around the imposition or relaxation of protective measures, management cannot reasonably estimate the impact to the Company's future results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company’s Las Vegas Operations and Encore Boston Harbor each implemented certain COVID-19 specific protective measures, such as limiting the number of seats per table game, slot machine spacing, temperature checks, mask protection, and suspension of certain entertainment and nightlife offerings.
Over the course of the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the Company's Las Vegas Operations and Encore Boston Harbor have each incrementally resumed full operations, including reopening gaming areas to 100% of capacity and restoring seven-day-per-week hotel operations, as permitted by governmental authorities and in response to increased customer demand.
Given the evolving conditions created by and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, measures that have been lifted may be reintroduced if there are adverse developments in the COVID-19 situation, and management cannot reasonably estimate the impact of such developments to the Company's future results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
*Macau Gaming Concession*
The term of the Company's concession agreement with the Macau government ends on June 26, 2022.
If the term of this concession agreement is not extended or renewed or is not replaced by a new gaming concession, all of the Company's gaming operations and related equipment in Macau will be automatically transferred to the Macau government without compensation on that date and the Company will cease to generate gaming revenues from its Macau Operations.
In addition, under the indentures governing the Company's $4.7 billion aggregate principal amount of WML Senior Notes and the facility agreement governing the WM Cayman II Revolver, upon the occurrence of any event after which the Company does not own or manage casino or gaming areas or operate casino games of fortune and chance in Macau in substantially the same manner as of the issue date of the respective senior notes or the date of the facility agreement, for a period of 10 consecutive days or more in the case of the WML Senior Notes or a period of 30 consecutive days or more in the case of the WM Cayman II Revolver, 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, holders of the WML Senior Notes can require the Company to repurchase all or any part of the WML Senior Notes at par, plus any accrued and unpaid interest (the "Special Put Option"), and any amounts owed under the WM Cayman II Revolver may become immediately due and payable (the "Property Mandatory Prepayment Event").
In January 2022, the Macau government published a draft of its proposed revisions to the gaming law.
The Company is monitoring developments with respect to the Macau government's concession renewal or extension process, and at this time believes that its concession will be renewed or extended beyond June 26, 2022.
The failure to extend or renew the Company's concession or obtain a new concession and the resulting ability of the WML Senior Note holders to exercise the Special Put Option and triggering of the Property Mandatory Prepayment Event would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
We expect our win as a percentage of turnover from these operations to be within the range of 2.7% to 3.0%.

(1) See Item 8—"Financial Statements and Supplemental Data," Note 20, "Segment Information," for a reconciliation of Adjusted Property EBITDA to net loss attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited.
In addition, each of the Company's properties was subject to partial or full closure for varying lengths of time during 2020.
The decrease in net loss attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited for the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily related to increased operating revenues at our integrated resort properties, partially offset by increased operating expenses primarily due to increased gaming tax expense driven by the increase in casino revenues at each property, increased marketing and promotional expenses at Wynn Interactive, and higher operating costs associated with higher business volumes at our resort properties in general.
Adjusted Property EBITDA increased $241.3 million, $91.4 million, $587.2 million, and $233.8 million at Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau, our Las Vegas Operations, and Encore Boston Harbor, respectively, and decreased $260.0 million at Wynn Interactive.

Our Las Vegas Operations were closed to the public from March 17, 2020 until June 4, 2020.
Encore Boston Harbor was closed to the public from March 15, 2020 until July 10, 2020.
Our casino operations in Macau were closed for a 15-day period in February 2020.

Visitation to Macau grew significantly in [removed: recent years, but has fallen meaningfully since] the [added: years leading up to the] outbreak of [removed: COVID-19,] [added: COVID-19 in December 2019, but has since fallen meaningfully,] primarily due to certain border control and other travel related restrictions [removed: put] [added: which were] in place [added: throughout the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021] as a result of the [removed: COVID-19] pandemic.

We continue to believe that, despite the [removed: current] [added: recent] challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Macau's stated goal of becoming a world-class tourism destination will continue to drive additional visitation to the market and create future opportunities for us to invest and grow.
Our Macau Operations face competition primarily from the [removed: 40] [added: 28] other casinos located throughout Macau in addition to casinos located throughout the world, including Singapore, South Korea, the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Australia, Las Vegas, cruise ships in Asia that offer gaming, and other casinos throughout Asia.
Additionally, certain other Asian countries and regions have legalized or in the future may legalize gaming, such as Japan, [removed: Taiwan] [added: Taiwan,] and Thailand, which could increase competition for our Macau Operations.
In Everett, Massachusetts, we operate Encore Boston Harbor, an integrated resort.
Over the course of December 2022 and January 2023, Macau authorities relaxed or eliminated most COVID-19 related protective measures, and as of February 27, 2023, there are no remaining entry restrictions or mandatory quarantine requirements in place for travelers to Macau, and testing requirements for inbound travelers from the PRC, Hong Kong, and Taiwan have been discontinued.
Nevertheless, given the inherent uncertainty around the likelihood, extent, and timing of a potential reimposition of restrictions on the general public, travel, or certain activities, management is unable to reasonably predict whether such restrictions would impact our properties in the future, or the extent such restrictions, if reimposed, would impact our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
As of December 31, 2022, the WM Cayman II Revolver (as defined in Item 8 – "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," Note 7, "Long-Term Debt") was fully drawn.

According to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, overall Las Vegas visitor volume was 38.8 million in 2022, a 20.5% increase from 32.2 million in 2021.
On December 16, 2022, Wynn Macau SA, an indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into a definitive gaming concession contract (the "Gaming Concession Contract") with the Macau government, pursuant to which Wynn Macau SA was granted a 10-year gaming concession commencing on January 1, 2023 and expiring on December 31, 2032, to operate games of chance at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau.
The Gaming Concession Contract between Wynn Macau SA and the Macau government requires Wynn Macau SA to operate two casinos: "Casino Wynn Macau" and "Casino Wynn Palace."
Under the Gaming Concession Contract, Wynn Macau SA provided a first demand bank guarantee of MOP1.00 billion (approximately $124.5 million) in favor of the Macau government to support Wynn Macau SA’s legal and contractual obligations, from January 1, 2023 until one hundred and eighty days after the term of the Gaming Concession Contract expires or the rescission of the concession.
Pursuant to the Gaming Concession Contract and applicable Macau laws, Macau government may rescind the gaming concession if Wynn Macau SA fails to fulfill its obligations under the Macau law or the Gaming Concession Contract, including in the circumstances of (i) endangerment to the national security of mainland China or Macau, (ii) failure on the part of Wynn Macau SA to perform its obligations under the Gaming Concession Contract, (iii) public interest, and (iv) Wynn Macau SA ceasing to be eligible for the gaming concession under the Macau gaming law.
If the Macau government rescinds the Gaming Concession Contract due to Wynn Macau SA’s non-fulfilment , or perceived non-fulfillment, of its obligations, Wynn Macau SA will be required to transfer to the Macau government, free from any encumbrance or lien and without compensation, all of its casinos, gaming assets and equipment and ownership rights to its casino areas in Macau.
Beginning in the eighth year of Wynn Macau SA’s concession, the Macau government may exercise its right to redeem the concession by providing Wynn Macau SA with at least one-year prior written notice.
In such event, Wynn Macau SA would be entitled to fair and equitable compensation pursuant to the Macau gaming law.
The amount of such compensation relating to the projects agreed with the Macau government would be determined based on the earnings of these projects, before interest, depreciation and amortization for the fiscal year immediately preceding the date the redemption is declared, multiplied by the number of years remaining on the term of the Gaming Concession Contract.
Wynn Macau SA is required to obtain prior approval from the relevant Macau authorities or officials for various corporate changes and actions, including expansion of its business scope, issuance of shares, transfer of or creation of any encumbrances over its shares, issuance of debt securities, change of its managing director or the authority delegated thereto, change of its articles of association, certain transfers of property rights and creditor’s rights, entering into a consumer loan contract or similar contract with a value equal to or exceeding MOP100.0 million (approximately US$12.5 million), and granting of a loan to any of its directors, shareholders or key employees.
Wynn Macau SA is required to notify the Macau government of certain other changes, including any loan, mortgage, claim for obligation, guarantee or the assumption of any debt for financing its business with a value that equals to or exceeds MOP16.0 million (approximately US$2.0 million).
In particular, Wynn Macau SA is required to notify the Chief Executive of Macau at least five working days in advance prior to making financial decisions (i) related to the transfer of funds within Wynn Macau SA which exceeds 50% of its share capital, (ii) related to employee salaries, remuneration or benefits which exceed 10% of its share capital, and (iii) not related to above items (i) and (ii), whose value exceeding 10% of its share capital.
Pursuant to the Gaming Concession Contract, Wynn Macau SA is required to submit to the Macau government an annual execution proposal of the specific projects mentioned in the Investment Plan annexed to the Gaming Concession Contract which it intends to execute in the following year by September 30, of each calendar year, detailing each project it intends to invest, the investment amount and the execution schedule for the relevant year for the purpose of government approval.
The annual execution proposal for the year 2023 should be submitted in March 2023.
Within 60 days after submission of each annual execution proposal, the Macau government will decide on its approval, and may request adjustments to specific projects,
the investment amount and the execution schedule.
If any of our annual execution proposals or parts thereof are not approved by the Macau government, Wynn Macau SA is obliged to propose allocating the relevant funds to other projects related with its activity, which are also subject to acceptance by the Macau government.
Wynn Macau SA is required to submit a report on the execution of the previous year’s execution proposal by March 31st of each calendar year.
In addition, Wynn Macau SA is subject to the supervision of the Macau government as regards the execution of development projects included in the Investment Plan, and Wynn Macau SA must submit regular progress reports every two months, and may be requested to submit exceptional detailed reports whenever the normal progress of any development project included in the Investment Plan is compromised.

Encore Boston Harbor was granted a sports wagering license by the MGC on December 8, 2022 under 2022 legislation legalizing sports wagering in Massachusetts.
Under the 2022 legislation, Encore Boston Harbor is authorized to operate a sportsbook and is entitled to two individually branded mobile platforms.
The initial term of the sports wagering licenses, which carries a $5,000,000.00 initial license fee, is 5 years.
Sports wagering licenses are also subject to additional regulatory fees.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts receives 15% of gross retail sports wagering revenues.
Under the Massachusetts Gaming Act, the MGC is charged with “establishing the financial stability and integrity of gaming licensees, as well as the integrity of their sources of financing” this includes the licensure or qualification of certain persons with a financial interest in a gaming licensee or in a gaming establishment.
The Gaming Act requires licensure of anyone with a financial interest in a gaming establishment, or with a financial interest in the business of the gaming licensee or
who is a close associate of a gaming licensee.
On June 23, 2019, we opened Encore Boston Harbor, an integrated resort in Everett, Massachusetts.
Any document Wynn Resorts files may be inspected, without charge, at the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.
Information related to the operation of the SEC's public reference room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.
Beginning in June 2020, certain restrictions and conditions have eased to allow for visitation to Macau as some regions continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Quarantine-free travel, subject to COVID-19 safeguards such as testing and the usual visa requirements, has been reintroduced between Macau and most areas and cities within the PRC, and in September 2020, PRC authorities fully resumed the IVS exit visa program, which permits individual PRC citizens from nearly 50 PRC cities to travel to Macau for tourism purposes.
Given the evolving conditions created by and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, measures that have been lifted may be reintroduced if there are adverse developments in the COVID-19 situation in Macau and other regions with access to Macau, and the Company is currently unable to determine when protective measures and the suspension of certain offerings in effect at our Macau Operations will be lifted.
Given the uncertainty around the extent and timing of the potential future spread or mitigation of COVID-19 and around the imposition or relaxation of protective measures, management cannot reasonably estimate the impact to the Company's future results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
*Las Vegas Operations and Encore Boston Harbor*
In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company’s Las Vegas Operations and Encore Boston Harbor each implemented COVID-19 specific protective measures, such as limiting the number of seats per table game, slot machine spacing, temperature checks, mask protection, and suspension of certain entertainment and nightlife offerings.
Over the course of 2021, the Company's Las Vegas Operations and Encore Boston Harbor each incrementally resumed full operations, including reopening gaming areas to 100% of capacity and restoring seven-day-per-week hotel operations, as permitted by governmental authorities and in response to increased customer demand.
Given the evolving conditions created by and in response to the
COVID-19 pandemic, measures that have been lifted may be reintroduced if there are adverse developments in the COVID-19 situation, and management cannot reasonably estimate the impact of such developments to the Company's future results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
The Company has suspended its dividend program.
Given the Company's liquidity position at December 31, 2021 and the steps the Company has taken as further described in Note 7, "Long-Term Debt," the Company believes it is able to support continuing operations and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic challenges.
*Macau Gaming Concession*
The term of the Company's concession agreement with the Macau government ends on June 26, 2022.
If the term of this concession agreement is not extended or renewed or is not replaced by a new gaming concession, all of the Company's gaming operations and related equipment in Macau will be automatically transferred to the Macau government without compensation on that date and the Company will cease to generate gaming revenues from its Macau Operations.
In addition, under the indentures governing the Company's $4.7 billion aggregate principal amount of WML Senior Notes and the facility agreement governing the WM Cayman II Revolver, upon the occurrence of any event after which the Company does not own or manage casino or gaming areas or operate casino games of fortune and chance in Macau in substantially the same manner as of the issue date of the respective senior notes or the date of the facility agreement, for a period of 10 consecutive days or more in the case of the WML Senior Notes or a period of 30 consecutive days or more in the case of the WM Cayman II Revolver, 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, holders of the WML Senior Notes can require the Company to repurchase all or any part of the WML Senior Notes at par, plus any accrued and unpaid interest (the "Special Put Option"), and any amounts owed under the WM Cayman II Revolver may become immediately due and payable (the "Property Mandatory Prepayment Event").
In January 2022, the Macau government published a draft of its proposed revisions to the gaming law.
The Company is monitoring developments with respect to the Macau government's concession renewal or extension process, and at this time believes that its concession will be renewed or extended beyond June 26, 2022.
The failure to extend or renew the Company's concession or obtain a new concession and the resulting ability of the WML Senior Note holders to exercise the Special Put Option and triggering of the Property Mandatory Prepayment Event would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
*Encore Boston Harbor Real Estate Sale and Leaseback*
On February 15, 2022, we announced our entry into a sale-leaseback arrangement with respect to certain real estate assets related to Encore Boston Harbor.
Upon closing of the related transactions, currently expected to take place in the fourth quarter of 2022 subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, we expect to receive cash consideration of approximately $1.7 billion in exchange for the sale of such real estate assets to an unrelated third party, and to concurrently enter into a lease agreement whereby the Company will lease such real estate assets for the purpose of continuing to operate the Encore Boston Harbor integrated resort.
The lease agreement provides for an initial annual minimum rent of $100.0 million for an initial term of 30 years, subject to certain annual rent escalations and renewal provisions.
We leverage our marketing team across
Macau, the Greater Bay Area, and beyond.
As previously discussed, the COVID-19 pandemic has had and will likely continue to have a material impact on our resorts.
In November 2019, we opened the first phase of our Lakeside Casino expansion at Wynn Macau which features 44 mass market table games and a refurbished high-limit slot area.
We substantially completed the second phase, which will include two new restaurants and approximately 7,000 square feet of additional retail space, in December 2019, and expect to open portions of the second phase in the near future, depending on market conditions and other factors.
In October 2019, we reopened the newly reconfigured Wynn Las Vegas golf course, which had been closed since 2017.
Indiana, Arizona, Tennessee, New York, and Louisiana.
Visitation to Macau increased by 30.7% from 5.9 million in 2020 to 7.7 million in 2021.
Travel to Macau by citizens of the PRC requires a visa.
Overall Las Vegas visitor volume was 32.2 million in 2021, a 69.5% increase from 19.0 million in 2020, but still 24.2% lower than visitor volume of 42.5 million experienced in 2019, prior to the outbreak of COVID-19.
Subconcessions may be awarded subject to the approval of the Macau government and each concessionaire has issued one subconcession.
The concession agreement between Wynn Macau SA and the Macau government required Wynn Macau SA to construct and operate one or more casino gaming properties in Macau, including, at a minimum, one full-service casino resort by the end of December 2006, and to invest not less than a total of 4 billion Macau patacas (approximately $500.0 million) in Macau-related projects by June 2009.
These obligations were satisfied upon the opening of Wynn Macau in 2006.
Wynn Macau SA was also obligated to obtain, and did obtain, a 700.0 million Macau pataca (approximately $87.0 million) bank guarantee from Banco National Ultramarino, S.A. ("BNU") that was effective until March 31, 2007.
The amount of this guarantee was reduced to 300 million Macau patacas (approximately $37.3 million) for the period from April 1, 2007 until 180 days after the end of the term of the concession agreement.

| Accounting for the sale and leaseback of real estate assets | | | | | |
| *Description of the Matter* | | | As described in Notes 1, 5 and 15 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company closed on a sale-leaseback arrangement with respect to certain real estate assets related to Encore Boston Harbor (the "EBH Transaction") during the year ended December 31, 2022. Upon closing of the EBH Transaction, the Company received cash proceeds of approximately $1.7 billion in exchange for the sale of such real estate assets, recognized a gain on sale of $182.0 million, and concurrently entered into a lease agreement with respect to the sold assets for the purpose of continuing to operate the Encore Boston Harbor integrated resort. Upon entering into the lease agreement, the Company recognized an operating lease asset and a corresponding operating lease liability of $1.5 billion. Auditing management’s evaluation of the EBH Transaction was especially challenging due to the complexity in management’s assessment of (i) whether control of the underlying real estate assets was transferred by the Company and (ii) the lease classification as an operating or a finance lease. Auditing these assessments made by management involved especially challenging auditor judgment, including the need to involve our valuation specialists. | | |
| *How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit* | | | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over management’s assessment of the accounting for the EBH transaction, including controls over the significant judgments made in the assessment, estimates used in the assessment and the completeness and accuracy of data used by management. To test the accounting for the EBH Transaction, our audit procedures included, among others, (i) inspection of the sale and leaseback agreements, (ii) evaluating the significant judgments made by management in the accounting assessment (e.g. when control of the asset transferred to the buyer-lessor), and (iii) evaluating the classification of the lease under ASC 842, including evaluating the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by management. With the assistance of our valuation specialists, we also tested the fair value of the property sold and the incremental borrowing rate used in the lease classification test by developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the estimates selected by management. | | |

The Company also holds an approximately 97% interest in, and consolidates, Wynn Interactive Ltd. ("Wynn Interactive"), through which it operates online sports betting, gaming, and social casino businesses.
On December 16, 2022, Wynn Resorts (Macau), S.A. ("Wynn Macau SA"), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into a definitive gaming concession contract (the "Gaming Concession Contract") with the Macau government, pursuant to which Wynn Macau SA was granted a 10-year gaming concession commencing on January 1, 2023 and expiring on December 31, 2032, to operate games of chance at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau.
For more information on the EBH Transaction, see Note 5, "Property and Equipment, net" and Note 15, "Leases."
Over the course of December 2022 and January 2023, Macau authorities relaxed or eliminated most COVID-19 related protective measures, and as of February 27, 2023, there are no remaining entry restrictions or mandatory quarantine requirements in place for travelers to Macau, and testing requirements for inbound travelers from the PRC, Hong Kong, and Taiwan have been discontinued.
As of December 31, 2022, the WM Cayman II Revolver was fully drawn.
As a result of the negative impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue to have, on our operating income, the Company has suspended its dividend program.
Given the Company's liquidity position as of December 31, 2022, the Company believes it will be able to support continuing operations and respond to any potential reimposition of COVID-19 related restrictions on the general public, travel, or certain activities and their related economic disruptions.
For information on the Company's VIEs, see Note 18, "Retail Joint Venture." If the entity does not qualify for consolidation and the Company has significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of the entity, the Company accounts for the entity under the equity method.

Restricted cash consists of cash collateral associated with obligations and cash held in a trust in accordance with WML's share award plan, and as of December 31, 2022 includes an amount held in the form of a first demand bank guarantee in favor of the Macau government to support Wynn Macau SA's legal and contractual obligations under the Gaming Concession Contract.

February 28, 2022
| *Description of the Matter* | | | At December 31, 2021, the Company’s allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable was $111.3 million, primarily consisting of casino receivables. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, casino receivables primarily consist of credit issued to patrons in the form of markers and advances paid to gaming promoters. The Company records an estimated allowance for credit losses to reduce the Company’s receivables to their carrying amount, which reflects the net amount the Company expects to collect. The Company estimates the allowance based on specific review of customer and outstanding gaming promoter accounts taking into consideration the amount due from the patron and gaming promoters, the age of the account, the customer’s financial condition, as well as management’s experience with historical and current collection trends, current economic and business conditions, and management’s expectations of future economic and business conditions and forecasts. Auditing management’s estimate of the allowance for credit losses on casino receivables is complex due to the highly judgmental nature of the qualitative factors used to estimate the collectability of casino receivables and high degree of subjectivity in evaluating management’s judgments related to the collectability of patron accounts receivable. | | |
| *How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit* | | | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s allowance for credit losses process. For example, we tested controls over the issuance of markers to patrons, the collection processes and management’s review controls over the assessment of the expected collection of casino receivables and evaluation of the allowance for credit losses, including the information used by management in those controls. To test the allowance for credit losses, our audit procedures included, among others: testing management’s historical collections analysis by obtaining evidence related to the original issuance of the credit to patrons on a sample of casino accounts receivable and examining support for subsequent settlement, if any; corroborating management’s representations for specific provisions made for certain individual casino patrons with internal data and examination of publicly available information of the customers’ financial condition; evaluating management’s assumptions regarding future collectability in comparison to current business trends, third-party macroeconomic data and peer data; and evaluating management’s use of this information in establishing the allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2021. In addition, we performed sensitivity analyses over the Company's significant assumptions and evaluated the overall allowance for credit losses by performing a retrospective analysis of the Company’s historical estimates, which consisted of comparing the Company’s estimates to subsequent settlements and write-offs. | | |

In October 2020, Wynn Interactive Ltd. ("Wynn Interactive") was formed through the merger of our U.S. online sports betting and gaming business, social casino business, and our strategic partner, BetBull Limited ("BetBull").
Wynn Resorts holds an approximately 74% interest in, and consolidates, Wynn Interactive.
On June 23, 2019, the Company opened Encore Boston Harbor, an integrated resort in Everett, Massachusetts, adjacent to Boston along the Mystic River.
BetBull, a wholly owned subsidiary of Wynn Interactive, operates a digital and interactive sports betting app in the United Kingdom.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Beginning in June 2020, certain restrictions and conditions have eased to allow for visitation to Macau as some regions continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Quarantine-free travel, subject to COVID-19 safeguards such as testing and the usual visa requirements, has been reintroduced between Macau and most areas and cities within the PRC, and in September 2020, PRC authorities fully resumed the IVS exit visa program, which permits individual PRC citizens from nearly 50 PRC cities to travel to Macau for tourism purposes.
Given the evolving conditions created by and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, measures that have been lifted may be reintroduced if there are adverse developments in the COVID-19 situation in Macau and other regions with access to Macau, and the Company is currently unable to determine when protective measures and the suspension of certain offerings in effect at our Macau Operations will be lifted.
*Las Vegas Operations and Encore Boston Harbor*
In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company’s Las Vegas Operations and Encore Boston Harbor each implemented certain COVID-19 specific protective measures, such as limiting the number of seats per table game, slot machine spacing, temperature checks, mask protection, and suspension of certain entertainment and nightlife offerings.
Over the course of the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the Company's Las Vegas Operations and Encore Boston Harbor have each incrementally resumed full operations, including reopening gaming areas to 100% of capacity and restoring seven-day-per-week hotel operations, as permitted by governmental authorities and in response to increased customer demand.
Given the evolving conditions created by and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, measures that have been lifted may be reintroduced if there are adverse developments in the COVID-19 situation, and management cannot reasonably estimate the impact of such developments to the Company's future results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
The Company has suspended its dividend program.
Given the Company's liquidity position at December 31, 2021 and the steps the Company has taken as further described in Note 7, "Long-Term Debt," the Company believes it is able to support continuing operations and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic challenges.
The term of the Company's concession agreement with the Macau government ends on June 26, 2022.
If the term of this concession agreement is not extended or renewed or is not replaced by a new gaming concession, all of the Company's gaming operations and related equipment in Macau will be automatically transferred to the Macau government without compensation on that date and the Company will cease to generate gaming revenues from its Macau Operations.
In addition, under the indentures governing the Company's $4.7 billion aggregate principal amount of WML Senior Notes and the facility agreement governing the WM Cayman II Revolver, upon the occurrence of any event after which the Company does not own or manage casino or gaming areas or operate casino games of fortune and chance in Macau in substantially the same manner as of the issue date of the respective senior notes or the date of the facility agreement, for a period of 10 consecutive days or more in the case of the WML Senior Notes or a period of 30 consecutive days or more in the case of the WM Cayman II Revolver, 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, holders of the WML Senior Notes can require the Company to repurchase all or any part of the WML Senior Notes at par, plus any accrued and unpaid interest (the "Special Put Option"), and any amounts owed under the WM Cayman II Revolver may become immediately due and payable (the "Property Mandatory Prepayment Event").
In January 2022, the Macau government published a draft of its proposed revisions to the gaming law.
The Company is monitoring developments with respect to the Macau government's concession renewal or extension process, and at this time believes that its concession will be renewed or extended beyond June 26, 2022.
The failure to extend or renew the Company's concession or obtain a new concession and the resulting ability of the WML Senior Note holders to exercise the Special Put Option and triggering of the Property Mandatory Prepayment Event would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the previous years have been reclassified to be consistent with the current year presentation of the Company's reportable segments.
These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net income.
Restricted cash consists of cash collateral associated with obligations and cash held in a trust in accordance with WML's share award plan.
