This announcement is issued pursuant to Rules 13.09, 13.18 and 37.47B of the Listing Rules and under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571).
The Company is pleased to announce that, on 16 September 2021, the Company as guarantor and WM Cayman II, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as borrower entered into the Facility Agreement with, among others, Bank of China Limited, Macau Branch, as agent and a syndicate of lenders, pursuant to which the lenders will make available the Revolving Facility in an aggregate amount of US$1.50 billion equivalent, consisting of one tranche in an amount of US$312.5 million and one tranche in an amount of HK$9.26 billion to WM Cayman II. WM Cayman II has the ability to upsize the total Revolving Facility by an additional US$1.00 billion equivalent under the Facility Agreement and related agreements upon the satisfaction of various conditions. The final maturity of all outstanding loans under the Revolving Facility is 16 September 2025 (or if 16 September 2025 is not a business day, the next business day in the relevant calendar month) by which time any outstanding borrowings from the Revolving Facility must be repaid.
Each loan under the Revolving Facility, consisting of both United States dollar and Hong Kong dollar tranches, will bear interest at LIBOR or HIBOR, as applicable, plus a margin of 1.875% to 2.875% per annum based on the leverage ratio of WM Cayman II on a consolidated basis.
Borrowings under the Facility Agreement will be used to refinance certain indebtedness of the Group, to pay the financing costs, fees and expenses in respect of the facility, and to fund ongoing working capital needs and for general corporate purposes.

The Facility Agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants and events of default customary for similar financings in Macau, including, but not limited to, restrictions on indebtedness to be incurred by WM Cayman II or its group members and restrictions on creating security over the assets of WM Cayman II or by its group members. The Facility Agreement also requires WM Cayman II to maintain a certain leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio from time to time as provided under the Facility Agreement. The Facility Agreement also contains certain events of default (some of which are subject to grace and remedy periods and materiality qualifiers). It is a mandatory prepayment event under the Facility Agreement if there is a loss of gaming operation or concession agreement by the Group. Customary fees and expenses were paid by WM Cayman II in connection with the Facility Agreement and related agreements.
DISCLOSURE PURSUANT TO RULE 13.18 OF THE LISTING RULES
It is a mandatory prepayment event under the Facility Agreement if Wynn Resorts, Limited ceases to legally and beneficially own and control, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the outstanding share capital of WM Cayman II through the Company measured by voting power. As at the date of this announcement, Wynn Resorts, Limited beneficially owned approximately 72% of the issued share capital of the Company.
In accordance with the requirements pursuant to Rule 13.21 of the Listing Rules, we will include appropriate disclosures in subsequent interim and annual reports for so long as the mandatory prepayment event concerning Wynn Resorts, Limited’s ownership and control of WM Cayman II continues to exist under the Facility Agreement.
