EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (the “Amendment”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Wynn Resorts, Limited for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 29, 2012 (the “Original Filing”). We are filing this Amendment solely to amend and restate Part III of the Original Filing to include the information not previously included in Part III of the Original Filing because we no longer intend to file our definitive proxy statement within 120 days of the end of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. The cover page of this Amendment now reflects we are not incorporating Part III disclosures by reference to our proxy statement. In connection with the filing of this Amendment and pursuant to the rules of the SEC, we are including with this Amendment certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Accordingly, Item 15 of Part IV has also been amended to reflect the filing of these additional certifications.

Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. The Original Filing continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events which occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing other than as expressly indicated in this Amendment. In this Amendment, unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “Company”, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Wynn Resorts, Limited. Other defined terms used in this Amendment but not defined herein shall have the meaning specified for such terms in the Original Filing.

Director Biographies and Qualifications

The Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”) and Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”), require that the number of directors on the Board of Directors be not less than one nor more than thirteen. Presently, the Board of Directors is set at twelve directors and is divided into three classes. Class I includes Linda Chen, John A. Moran, Marc D. Schorr and Elaine P. Wynn, whose terms expire in 2012. Class II consists of Stephen A. Wynn, Ray R. Irani, Alvin V. Shoemaker and D. Boone Wayson, whose terms expire in 2013. Class III consists of Russell Goldsmith, Robert J. Miller, Kazuo Okada, and Allan Zeman, whose terms expire in 2014. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the terms of one class of directors expire. Each director is elected to the Board of Directors for a term of three years and until his or her successor is elected and qualified.

Set forth below is biographical information regarding the directors and key skills and qualifications of our directors supporting their service as a director, in light of the Company’s business and structure.

On February 18, 2012, the Company’s Gaming Compliance Committee concluded a year-long investigation after receiving an independent report by Freeh, Sporkin & Sullivan, LLP (the “Freeh Report”) detailing, among other things, numerous prima facie violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act by Aruze USA, Inc. (which at the time was a stockholder of the Company), Universal Entertainment Corporation, Aruze USA, Inc.’s parent company, and Kazuo Okada, the majority shareholder of Universal Entertainment Corporation, who is also a member of our Board of Directors and was at the time a director of Wynn Macau, Limited.

Based on the Freeh Report, the Company’s Board of Directors determined that Aruze USA, Inc., Universal Entertainment Corporation and Mr. Okada are “unsuitable” under Article VII of the Wynn Resorts articles of incorporation. The Board was unanimous (other than Mr. Okada) in its determination. The Board of Directors also requested that Mr. Okada resign as a director of the Company and recommended that Mr. Okada be removed as a member of the board of directors of Wynn Macau, Limited. On February 18, 2012, Mr. Okada was removed from the board of directors of Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Wynn Resorts.

On February 19, 2012, the Company filed a complaint in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada against Mr. Okada, Aruze USA, Inc. and Universal Entertainment Corporation alleging breaches of fiduciary duty and related claims. On March 12, 2012, Aruze USA, Inc. and Universal Entertainment Corporation removed the action to the United States District Court for the District of Nevada. On that same date, Aruze USA, Inc. and Universal Entertainment Corporation filed an answer denying the claims and a counterclaim that purports to assert claims against the Company, each of the members of the Company’s board (other than Mr. Okada) and a senior executive of the Company. Among other relief, the counterclaim seeks a declaration that the redemption of Aruze USA, Inc.’s shares was void, an injunction restoring Aruze USA, Inc.’s share ownership and damages in an unspecified amount. On March 29, 2012, the Company filed a motion to remand the action to state court and to request an extension to answer. The motion to remand is pending and the request for extension to answer was granted on March 30, 2012, giving the Company until May 21, 2012 to answer the counterclaim.

Corporate Governance

The Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that provide a framework for the governance of the Company. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the Guidelines annually and recommends changes as appropriate to the Board of Directors for approval. The Board of Directors has also adopted written charters for its three standing committees (Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance), as well as a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, applicable to all directors, officers and employees. The Corporate Governance Guidelines, Board committee charters and codes of ethics are available under the heading “Corporate Governance” on the Company Information page of the Company’s website at http://www.wynnresorts.com.

Meetings of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors met eight times during 2011. During 2011, none of the members of the Board of Directors attended fewer than 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and meetings of the committees on which they served. In addition, the independent directors met in executive session, without management present, at each regular meeting of the Board of Directors. Governor Miller acts as the presiding director and communicates necessary matters from the executive sessions to management.

Committees

The Board of Directors currently has three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each of these committees consists entirely of directors whom the Board of Directors has determined to be independent under the NASDAQ listing

In addition, Governor Miller serves as Chairman of the Company’s Gaming Compliance Committee and as the Company’s Compliance Director. The Gaming Compliance Committee is a committee comprised of Messrs. Miller, Schorr and Strzemp, and its purpose is to assist the Company in maintaining the highest level of regulatory compliance.

The Audit Committee

The Board of Directors, after review of each individual’s employment experience and other relevant factors, has determined that Messrs. Wayson, Goldsmith, Shoemaker and Zeman are qualified as audit committee financial experts within the meaning of SEC regulations.

At each of its regular meetings, the Audit Committee meets with the Company’s independent auditors, internal audit staff, management and legal counsel to discuss accounting principles, financial and accounting controls, the scope of the annual audit, internal controls, regulatory compliance and other matters. In addition to responsibilities discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, the functions of the Audit Committee also include the following:

 

   

appointing, approving the compensation of, and oversight of the independent auditors;

 

   

reviewing and discussing with the independent auditors and management the Company’s earnings releases and quarterly and annual reports as filed with the SEC;

 

   

reviewing the scope and results of the Company’s internal auditing procedures and practices;

 

   

overseeing the Company’s compliance program with respect to legal and regulatory compliance, and the Company’s policies and procedures for monitoring compliance; and

 

   

meeting periodically with management to review the Company’s major risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures.

The independent auditors have complete access to the Audit Committee without management present to discuss the results of their audits and their opinions on the adequacy of internal controls, quality of financial reporting and other accounting and auditing matters.

The Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee’s responsibilities in setting compensation of the Company’s executives and directors include:

 

   

reviewing the goals and objectives of the Company’s executive compensation plans;

 

   

reviewing the Company’s executive compensation plans in light of the Company’s goals and objectives with respect to such plans and, as appropriate, recommending that the Board adopt new plans or amend the existing plans;

 

11


Table of Contents
   

annually evaluating the performance of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, overseeing the evaluation of performance of the other officers of the Company and its operating subsidiaries, and setting compensation for the Chief Executive Officer, other named executive officers, and other members of our most senior management;

 

   

reviewing and approving equity awards and supervising administrative functions pursuant to the Company’s equity plans;

 

   

reviewing and approving any employment agreement or any severance or termination agreement, between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) and any officer, as well as any other employment agreement between the Company and any individual in which annual base salary exceeds $500,000, regardless of position involved; and

 

   

reviewing and recommending to the full Board the type and amount of compensation for Board and Committee service by non-management members of the Board.

In early 2010, the Committee completed a review of the Company’s compensation policies and practices and determined, under the guidelines recently issued by the SEC, that such policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Upon promulgation of final rules by the SEC, the Committee will adopt clawback provisions that comply with all applicable requirements.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The functions of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee include the following:

 

   

identifying, screening and recommending candidates qualified to serve as directors of the Company taking into account the Company’s current and planned business and the existing membership of the Board;

 

   

establishing procedures for evaluating the suitability of potential director nominees proposed by management or the stockholders;

 

   

recommending to the Board of Directors members to serve on committees of the Board of Directors;

 

   

reviewing and making recommendations regarding the composition of the Board of Directors;

 

   

developing and recommending to the Board of Directors a set of corporate governance principles applicable to the Company and overseeing corporate governance matters generally; and

 

   

overseeing the annual evaluation of the Board of Directors.

Nominating Process. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders. In considering candidates submitted by stockholders, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will take into consideration the Board’s current size and composition, needs of the Board of Directors, including the skills and experience of existing directors, and the qualifications of the candidate. To have a candidate considered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, a stockholder must submit the recommendation in writing and must include the following information:

 

   

The name of the stockholder and evidence of the person’s ownership of Company stock, including the number of shares owned and the length of time of ownership; and

 

   

The name of the candidate, the candidate’s resume or a listing of his or her qualifications to be a director of the Company, and the person’s consent to be named as a director if selected by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and nominated by the Board of Directors.

The stockholder recommendation and information described above must be sent to the Corporate Secretary at 3131 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109 and must be received by the Corporate Secretary not less than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the Company’s most recent annual meeting of stockholders.

Table of Contents

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks to have the Board of Directors represent a diversity of backgrounds and experience and assesses potential nominees in light of the Board’s current size and composition. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that the minimum qualifications for serving as a director of the Company are that a nominee demonstrate, by significant accomplishment in his or her field, an ability to make a meaningful contribution to the Board of Directors’ oversight of the business and affairs of the Company and have a reputation for honest and ethical conduct in both his or her professional and personal activities. The Committee may from time to time develop and recommend additional criteria for identifying and evaluating director candidates. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee examines a candidate’s other commitments, potential conflicts of interest and independence from management and the Company.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee implements its policy with regards to considering diversity by annually reviewing with the Board the Board’s composition as a whole and recommending, if necessary, measures to be taken so that the Board reflects the appropriate balance of knowledge, depth and diversity of experience, and skills and expertise required for the Board as a whole. The Committee assesses the effectiveness of this policy by periodically reviewing the Board membership criteria with the Board. This assessment enables the Board to update the skills and experience it seeks in the Board as a whole, and in individual directors, as the Company’s needs evolve and change over time.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies potential nominees by asking current directors and executive officers to notify the Committee if they become aware of persons meeting the criteria described above who might be available to serve on the Board of Directors. As described above, the Committee will also consider candidates recommended by stockholders.

If the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determines to pursue consideration of a person who has been identified as a potential candidate, the Committee may take any or all of the following steps: collect and review publicly available information regarding the person, contact the person and request information from the candidate, conduct one or more interviews with the candidate, and contact one or more references provided by the candidate or other persons that may have greater first-hand knowledge of the candidate’s accomplishments. The Committee’s evaluation process takes into account the person’s accomplishments and qualifications, including in comparison to any other candidates that the Committee might be considering, and does not vary based on whether or not a candidate is recommended by a stockholder.

Board Leadership

Mr. Wynn, the Company’s founder, serves as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Board of Directors has determined that the combination of these roles held singularly by Mr. Wynn is in the best interest of all stockholders. The Board believes that the issue of whether to combine or separate the offices of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer is part of the succession planning process and that it is in the best interests of the Company for the Board to make a determination whether to combine or separate the roles based upon the circumstances. The Board has given careful consideration to separating the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and has determined that the Company and its stockholders are best served by the current structure. Mr. Wynn’s combined role promotes unified leadership and direction for the Board and executive management and allows for a single, clear focus for the Company’s operational and strategic efforts.

The combined role of Mr. Wynn as both Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is balanced by the Company’s governance structure and policies and controls. Seven of the twelve members of our Board of Directors satisfy the most stringent requirements of independence promulgated by NASDAQ for audit committee members, and the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees are composed entirely of independent members of the Board. This structure encourages independent and effective oversight of the Company’s operations and prudent management of risk. In addition, the Company is subject to stringent regulatory requirements and oversight, combining these internal controls with third party monitoring of the Company’s operations.

 

13


Table of Contents

The independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors meet separately in executive session at each regular meeting of the Board and also meet separately in executive session with each of the Company’s auditors, Vice President of Internal Audit and General Counsel. The independent members of the Board have designated a presiding director for such sessions who is responsible for communicating to the Chief Executive Officer and senior management all concerns that arise during executive session. Governor Miller currently serves as the Presiding Director.

In addition, all Committee agendas and all agendas for meetings of the Board of Directors are provided in advance to all independent members of the Board. The members are encouraged to review the proposed agenda items and to add additional items of concern or interest. Members of the Board of Directors also have unimpeded access to Company management.

Mr. Wynn’s compensation is established and reviewed by the Compensation Committee, all of whose members are independent. During 2011, the Compensation Committee engaged the services of an independent third party compensation consultant, Pay Governance, in its evaluation of the level of compensation and benefits of employment provided to Mr. Wynn.

For the reasons stated above and as a result of the structure, policies and procedures outlined above, and in light of the historical success of Mr. Wynn’s leadership, the Board has concluded that the current Board leadership structure is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

Risk Oversight

The Board of Directors has an active role in overseeing the Company’s areas of risk. While the full Board has overall responsibility for risk oversight, the Board has assigned certain areas of risk primarily to designated Committees, which report back to the full Board. The Board regularly reviews information regarding the Company’s risks relating to political, regulatory, construction, operations, succession planning, catastrophic events and general financial conditions. The Audit Committee is primarily responsible for the oversight of credit, related party, construction and general financial risks. The Compliance Committee primarily oversees risks relating to regulatory, security and political compliance. As discussed above, the Compensation Committee is primarily responsible for monitoring risks relating to the Company’s compensation policies and practices to determine whether they create risks that may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Board, in consultation with management and the Company’s outside auditors, has identified specific areas of risk including: regulatory compliance, legislative and political conditions, capital availability, liquidity and general financial conditions, gaming credit extension and collection, construction, catastrophic events and succession planning. The Board (as a whole and through Committees) and management have agreed upon a processes for management to identify, manage and mitigate these risks.

Throughout the year, the Board and the relevant Committees receive reports from management that include information regarding major risks and exposures facing the Company and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such risks and exposures. In addition, throughout the year, the Board and the relevant Committees dedicate a portion of their meetings to review and discuss specific risk topics in greater detail.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

In 2011, the Board adopted Stock Ownership Guidelines applicable to members of the Board of Directors and senior corporate officers. The Guidelines require that members of the Board achieve ownership of an amount of common stock of the Company for which the fair market value equals or exceed three times such director’s annual cash retainer. For the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the fair market value of common stock owned should equal or exceed five times base salary and for the Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and any Executive Vice President, three times base salary.

 

14


Table of Contents

Ownership requirements should be met for executives within three years of appointment to office and for directors within five years of election to the Board, with vested options and all restricted stock grants counted toward satisfaction of ownership guidelines. Any failure to meet guidelines will be referred to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for consideration.

Currently, all members of the Board and executives satisfy the guidelines.

Hedging Policy

Our directors, executive officers and employees are prohibited from hedging their ownership of our stock, including purchasing Company stock on margin, selling Company stock short, buying or selling puts or calls or other derivative instruments related to Company stock.

Stockholder Communications with Directors

The Board of Directors has established a process to receive communications from stockholders. This process is described under “Corporate Governance” on the Company Information page of the Company’s website at http://www.wynnresorts.com. Stockholders may contact any member or all members of the Board of Directors, any committee of the Board of Directors or the chair of any committee by mail. Correspondence should be addressed to the appropriate individual by either name or title. All such correspondence should be sent “c/o Corporate Secretary” at 3131 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109.

All communications received as set forth in the preceding paragraph will be opened by the office of our General Counsel for the purpose of assessing the nature of the communications. With the exception of advertising, promotions of a product or service, and patently offensive material, communications will be forwarded promptly to the addressee. In the case of communications addressed to more than one director, the General Counsel’s office will make sufficient copies of the contents to send to each addressee.

Stockholder Meetings

It is Company policy that each of our directors is invited and encouraged to attend the annual meeting. All of our directors attended the 2011 Annual Meeting.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The members of the Compensation Committee are appointed by the Board of Directors each year. The members of the Compensation Committee serving in 2011 were Messrs. Goldsmith, Irani, Moran, Shoemaker and Wayson. No member of the Compensation Committee is, or was formerly, one of our officers or employees. No interlocking relationship exists between the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee and the board of directors or compensation committee of any other company, nor has any interlocking relationship existed in the past.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

As stated above, as part of the Company’s commitment to integrity, the Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to all directors, officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. This Code is periodically reviewed by the Board of Directors. The most recent update, dated November 1, 2011, included clarifications and revisions in presentation and is available on our website. In the event we determine to amend or waive certain provisions of this code of ethics, we will disclose such amendments or waivers under the heading “Corporate Governance” on the Company information page of our website at http://www.wynnresorts.com or as otherwise required by the NASDAQ listing standards. During 2011, all of our directors, except Mr. Okada, acknowledged in writing their compliance with the Company’s Code of Business Conduct.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of the Company’s common stock to file reports of ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders are also required to furnish the Company with copies of all Forms 3, 4 and 5 they file. Based solely on the Company’s review of the copies of such forms it has received, the Company believes that all its executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners complied with all the filing requirements applicable to them with respect to transactions during 2011, except that one report covering two stock option exercises by Ms. Chen was filed after the deadline.

(1) The amounts set forth in this column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of 3,600 stock option awards granted to each non-employee director, other than Mr. Okada and Elaine P. Wynn, on May 16, 2011, computed in accordance with accounting standards for stock-based compensation. See Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in the Original Filing for assumptions used in computing fair value.
(2) Governor Miller, as a member of the Board of Directors, receives a $50,000 annual retainer for his service as the Chairman of the Company’s Gaming Compliance Committee and a $20,000 annual retainer for his service as the Company’s Compliance Director.
(3) The aggregate number of outstanding option awards for each director at December 31, 2011 is as follows: Mr. Goldsmith 27,600, Dr. Irani and Governor Miller 28,600 each, Messrs. Moran, Shoemaker and Wayson 48,600 each and Mr. Zeman 38,600. The aggregate number of outstanding stock awards for each director at December 31, 2011 is as follows: Mr. Goldsmith 2,500, and Messrs. Irani, Moran, Shoemaker, Wayson and Zeman 5,000 each. Mr. Okada and Elaine P. Wynn, who each are greater than five percent beneficial owners of the Company’s common stock, have not previously been granted equity awards for their service as directors.
(4) “All Other Compensation” consists of cash dividends accrued on nonvested stock, which is paid if and when the stock vests. Dividends that are accrued on nonvested stock are reported as compensation because the value of dividends was not previously reflected in the accounting expense for these awards when they were granted, as the Company did not regularly pay dividends at that time.

Directors who are not employees of the Company currently receive a monthly fee of $5,000 for services as a director. Directors who serve on the Compensation Committee or the Nominating/Governance Committee receive an additional monthly fee of $1,000 per committee ($2,000 for committee chairmen). Directors who

 

16


Table of Contents

serve on the Audit Committee receive an additional monthly fee of $1,250 ($2,500 for the Chairman). Each non-employee director also receives a $1,500 meeting fee for each board or committee meeting he or she attends. Directors are also awarded annual equity participation in the form of stock options or restricted stock determined annually at the May meeting of the Board of Directors, which for 2011 consisted of a grant of 3,600 stock options. All directors are provided complimentary room, food and beverage privileges at our resorts and are reimbursed for any other out of pocket expenses related to attendance at meetings. Directors from time to time may receive other benefits, although the aggregate incremental cost of any such benefits and perquisites did not exceed $10,000 for any director in 2011. The Company does not provide non-equity incentive plan awards or deferred compensation or retirement plans for non-employee directors.

Executive Summary

Wynn Resorts completed another year of outstanding performance in 2011, posting record net revenues, operating income, net income, earnings per share and EBITDA. Wynn Resorts set a Company record in 2011 with $1.6 billion in Adjusted Property EBITDA, up 40.7% from 2010. The Company did not achieve this Adjusted Property EBITDA growth through risky balance sheet expansion. Instead, we achieved these Adjusted Property EBITDA results during a period when we also reduced our debt from $4.3 billion in 2008 to $3.2 billion in 2011.

 

     2011      2010      Increase  

Net Revenues ($ millions)

   $ 5,269.8       $ 4,184.7         25.9

Operating Income ($ millions)

   $ 1,008.2       $ 625.3         61.3

Net Income ($ millions)

   $ 825.1       $ 316.6         160.6

Diluted EPS

   $ 4.88       $ 1.29         278.3

Adjusted Property EBITDA ($ millions)

   $ 1,635.3       $ 1,163.0         40.6

The operating and balance sheet management success has contributed to significant returns for Wynn Resorts’ stockholders. Our total stockholder return was 12.3% for this past year, 49.2% over the past 5 years and 1,048% since our inception in 2002. Thus, $100 invested in Wynn Resorts at its inception would be worth $1,148 at the end of 2011. This performance for stockholders is unmatched in the gaming and resort industry and far exceeds the results of the S&P 500 during this period.

At the formation of our Company, we set out to develop and operate the premier casino resort in each jurisdiction in which we operate, and to develop and expand the “Wynn” brand while delivering successful operating and financial performance. Today the Wynn brand has become synonymous with luxury in the gaming industry. Our Las Vegas resort and our Macau resort both have received the coveted Forbes five-star distinction.

The Committee believes that our compensation program has been instrumental in supporting achievement of our branding success and our strong financial and stockholder value performance. The program emphasizes pay for performance and total compensation. It is designed to help recruit, retain and motivate a highly talented team of executives with the requisite set of skills and experience to successfully lead the Company in creating value for our stockholders.

The compensation of the Company’s named executive officers consists primarily of base salary, annual cash incentives, and periodic grants of equity in the form of stock options and restricted stock. As a result, the vast majority of their total compensation is tied to the Company’s financial and share price performance. Historically, Mr. Wynn has not received equity incentives, relying on his significant equity ownership as a founding stockholder to realize increases in value created for the Company’s stockholders. For the past three years, Mr. Wynn received 64% of his total compensation in the form of annual cash incentives. The other named executive officers as a group received 73% of their total compensation in the form of annual and long-term incentives that are tied to the Company’s operating results and stock price.

In consideration of our outstanding performance, the Committee made the following compensation changes for NEOs in 2011:

 

   

Increased the base salary for Mr. Wynn.

 

   

Based on Company EBITDA that far exceeded our goals, awarded NEOs annual incentive awards at maximum levels for 2011 performance.

 

   

Determined no additional equity awards were necessary during 2011 (none were made in 2010 either), in light of the significant grants awarded to the Company’s most senior executive officers in 2009.

 

   

Established a $10 million cash retention award to Ms. Chen, payable in ten years, in recognition of her contribution and continued importance to our Macau resort.

 

   

Mr. Wynn received a $2 million discretionary bonus from the Wynn Macau Limited Board of Directors for his contribution to the extraordinary performance of Wynn Macau for 2011.

Philosophy and Objectives

The Committee believes that stockholder interests are best advanced by attracting and retaining a high-performing management team. To promote this objective, the Committee was guided by the following underlying principles in developing our executive compensation program:

 

   

Top talent—The program should be designed to gain a long-term commitment from the proven, successful executives that lead our success.

 

   

Focus on total compensation—Compensation opportunities should be considered in the context of total compensation relative to the pay practices of major gaming companies and other competitors for key talent.

 

   

Pay-for-performance—A high proportion of total compensation should be at risk and tied to achievement of annual operating goals and increases in stockholder value.

 

   

Long-term performance orientation—The mix of incentives provided should motivate long-term sustainable growth in the value of the brand and the enterprise.

 

   

Stockholder alignment—Long-term incentives should be provided periodically in Company equity to encourage executives to plan and act with the perspective of stockholders.

Our compensation program is simple in design and provides only a limited number of perquisites and executive benefits. We do not provide supplemental retirement benefits to our executives. The Committee regularly evaluates the Company’s compensation arrangements to assess whether they are appropriately structured to support these objectives and are effective in enabling the Company to attract and retain superior employees in key positions.

Role of Executive Officers in Setting Compensation

The Committee sets all elements of compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer based upon consideration of their respective contributions to the development and operating performance of the Company. Annually, the Committee reviews compensation data of those with whom we compete for talent. The Committee considers the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer in establishing compensation for all other named executive officers. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer perform annual reviews of all of our senior management and make recommendations to the Committee. The Committee reviews the recommendations and makes final decisions regarding compensation for all of our most senior management.

Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain compensation consulting firms exclusively to assist it in the evaluation of executive officer and employee compensation and benefit programs. During 2011, the Committee retained Pay Governance LLC, a nationally-recognized independent compensation consulting firm, to assist in performing its duties. In 2011, Pay Governance assisted with a review of certain benefits accorded to our CEO and advised the Committee with respect to compensation trends and best practices, competitive pay levels, equity grant practices and competitive levels, and proxy disclosure. While our advisor regularly consults with management in performing work requested by the Committee, Pay Governance did not perform any separate additional services for management.

Setting Executive Compensation

In determining base salary, target annual incentives and guidelines for equity awards, the Committee uses the named executive officers’ current level of compensation as the starting point. Our compensation decisions consider the scope and complexity of the functions executives oversee, the contribution of those functions to our overall performance, their experience and capabilities, and individual performance, taking into consideration the compensation practices of our peers in order to obtain a general understanding of competitive compensation practices. In addition, wealth accumulation is considered when making equity grants to increase the alignment between the interest of our senior executives and those of our stockholders.

The Compensation Committee reviews total compensation annually, along with the value from past equity awards, to assess the need for change to current compensation. While cash bonuses and annual cash incentive compensation awards are considered annually on the basis of Company and individual performance, reviews of base salary and equity incentives are conducted only on a periodic basis or in recognition of notable contributions to value creation for Company stockholders. The Committee retains the discretion to adjust actual bonus amounts paid based on a variety of factors, including corporate, property level and individual performance, as well as general macroeconomic conditions.

The Committee believes that the companies in its Peer Group are those companies with which the Company competes for talent and stockholder investment. Please refer to the discussion below under “Peer Group” for a more detailed discussion of our use of Peer Group data.

2011 Advisory Resolution Approving Our Executive Compensation

At the May 17, 2011, Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our advisory resolution on executive compensation was approved by the stockholders. Although this approval was non-binding, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee considered the voting results in evaluating our executive compensation program for the current year. The Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee also consider the other factors discussed in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis. Following such consideration, the Board of Directors determined not to make any changes to our compensation program based on the advisory resolution voting result. In addition, at that same meeting, approximately 71% of the votes cast regarding the frequency proposal voted in favor of holding future advisory votes on executive compensation every three years. The Board has determined to follow this decision by stockholders. Accordingly, the next advisory resolution on executive compensation will be voted on by stockholders at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Elements of Executive Compensation

We do not use a specific formula or weighting for allocating among the elements of our total compensation program including base salary, cash bonus awards, and long term compensation. Instead we offer what the Compensation Committee views to be effective for attracting and retaining key leaders while motivating management to maximize long term value of our Company for our stockholders.

Base Salary. Base salaries are established by employment contracts and reviewed and adjusted periodically if deemed necessary due to competitive reasons or to reflect sustained performance, capabilities, experience and changes in responsibility or other extraordinary circumstances. Companies in the gaming business typically have total compensation packages that may be higher than many of their non-gaming counterparts due to certain regulatory and other extraordinary demands. The Company’s rapid expansion in the last six years and our operations in widely separated geographic locations has required that named executive officers provide extraordinary levels of financial, development and operating expertise. These efforts have resulted in industry-leading product and impressive financial performance, including returns to stockholders exceeding industry averages. Thus, in fulfilling the Company’s goal of attracting and retaining high-quality and experienced executives, the Company has paid base salary levels for its named executive officers that may exceed the peer

group median. Prior to an increase in 2011, Mr. Wynn’s base salary had not been increased since 2008, other than restoring a 15% reduction that was applied to certain corporate executives in 2009 and 2010. Base salary increases for 2011 are indicated in the following table:

 

Executive

   2011 Salary      2010 Salary      Increase  

Stephen A. Wynn

   $ 4,000,000       $ 3,250,000         23.1

   $ 1,000,000       $ 1,000,000         0

Kim Sinatra

   $ 650,000       $ 650,000         0

Annual Incentives. Our named executive officers participate in the Wynn Resorts, Limited Annual Performance-Based Incentive Plan for Executive Officers (the “Incentive Plan”). Within 90 days after the commencement of the year, the Compensation Committee identifies the executive officers who will participate in the Incentive Plan for that year and establishes the annual performance criteria. The Incentive Plan provides that the maximum annual incentive is 250% of base salary for Mr. Wynn and 200% of base salary for the other named executive officer participants.

For 2011, the Committee selected adjusted property EBITDA on a consolidated basis as the appropriate criterion and, in the course of such determination, concluded that the achievement of the performance criterion was substantially uncertain. Adjusted property EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure calculated at the segment level and reported in the footnotes to our audited consolidated financial statements. This criterion is a reflection on the operating performance of the Company’s assets and directly influences return to stockholders. In addition, management and stockholders use adjusted property EBITDA to value the Company and its assets. Given the challenging economic environment an adjusted property EBITDA target of $1 billion on a consolidated basis was established for maximum Plan funding. Actual performance of $1.6 billion significantly exceeded the target and all participants were awarded the maximum incentive allowed under the Incentive Plan. While the Compensation Committee has the discretion to reduce individual awards from this maximum level based on other Company and individual performance and any other considerations it may deem appropriate, it did not exercise that discretion with respect to 2011 owing to the outstanding Company EBITDA results.

In addition, the Compensation Committee approved a $2 million discretionary bonus to Mr. Wynn outside the Incentive Plan awarded by the Wynn Macau Limited Board of Directors for his contribution to the extraordinary performance of Wynn Macau for 2011.

Long-term Incentives. The Company makes only periodic (not annual) equity grants to executives, with the last grant in 2009. The Committee uses grants under the 2002 Stock Plan to attract qualified individuals to work for the Company and align executives with the perspective of stockholders, and makes additional grants periodically to existing officers to reward extraordinary performance and encourage retention with the Company. Periodic grants to named executive officers are typically made with long term vesting dates to assure retention of talent deemed important to the Company’s continued prosperity. From time to time, the Company also has granted long-term cash retention awards to reward extraordinary performance and encourage retention. The underlying philosophy behind this approach is to retain senior management for the long term, building a talent base to drive sustained Company performance and growth. As in 2010, the Compensation Committee determined not to make any grants during 2011 to the named executive officers in light of significant grants awarded to the Company’s most senior officers in 2009.

Mr. Wynn, the founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company who owns 10% of the Company’s outstanding stock, has not participated in the Company’s equity incentive plans. This differs from the chief executive officer compensation at most of the companies included in the Peer Group.

In July 2011, Ms. Chen was granted a $10 million cash retention award which vests in full on July 27, 2021, subject to certain provisions. This retention award was awarded to Ms. Chen for her current and expected future

contributions to the success of the Company and to provide an incentive to her to remain an employee of the Company. If Ms. Chen’s employment is terminated without “Cause” (as such term is defined in the Agreement) prior to the vesting date by the Company or one of its affiliates (including without limitation, termination due to death or disability), a pro-rated portion of the award equal to the number of full calendar months elapsed between the grant date and the date of such termination of employment divided by 120 shall vest and become payable within 30 days following such termination of employment. If Ms. Chen’s employment is terminated for any other reason (including termination for Cause or Ms. Chen’s voluntary resignation) prior to the vesting date, the award is forfeited in full and no compensation is paid under the award.

Peer Group

The Committee believes that it is appropriate to offer competitive cash and equity compensation packages to executive officers in order to attract and retain top executive talent. The compensation peer group allows the Committee to monitor the compensation practices of our primary competitors for executive talent, although the Committee also takes into account the gaming industry’s extensive regulatory requirements and other demands. However, the Committee does not utilize this information to target any specific pay percentile for the Company’s executive officers. Instead, the Committee uses this information as a general overview of market practices and to ensure that it makes informed decisions on executive pay packages in the interest of attracting and retaining highly-qualified executive talent.

To help evaluate overall 2011 compensation, the Committee reviewed the Peer Group established in 2010 to confirm it remained appropriate in light of the growth in Company market capitalization and revenues and the competitive market for key executive talent.

Tax and Accounting Implications

Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) prevents publicly traded companies from receiving a tax deduction on certain compensation paid to the chief executive officer and three other highest-paid executive officers (other than the chief financial officer) in excess of $1,000,000 in any taxable year, unless the compensation qualifies as “performance-based.” The Company’s policy with respect to qualifying compensation paid to its executive officers for tax deductibility purposes is that executive compensation plans will be designed and implemented to maximize tax deductibility when consistent with the overall objectives of the compensation program. However, the Compensation Committee may elect to provide non-deductible compensation when it determines that to be advisable to achieve its compensation objectives of attracting or retaining key executives, or where achieving maximum tax deductibility would be considered disadvantageous to the best interests of the Company. Salaries over $1,000,000, perquisites, restricted stock grants and discretionary bonuses do not qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m).

Employment Agreements

The Company typically enters into employment agreements with its executives to advance its objectives of providing for a long-term commitment by and relationship with talented and experienced executives. Consistent with the extended vesting terms in equity awards, the terms and conditions of these agreements are described in the chart following the 2011 Summary Compensation table.

The employment agreements for the named executive officers specify their base salary, provide for a discretionary bonus opportunity and provide that if the executive’s employment terminates for death, disability, good reason or without cause, (including after a change in control) the executive will receive a multiple (ranging from one to, in the case of Mr. Wynn, three times) of the sum of the executive’s salary and imputed bonus that would be payable during the remaining term of the contract, but not less than one year, except that Mr. Wynn’s and Ms. Chen’s payments are limited to 4 years’ salary and bonus in certain circumstances. The employment agreements and the terms of equity awards also provide that vesting of some or all of an executive’s equity awards will accelerate upon such event. If termination occurs after a change in control, the employment agreements also provide for a tax gross-up. The Committee has determined that these arrangements are appropriate compensation to its senior management and are necessary to retain talent in a highly competitive industry. Additional information regarding payments under these provisions is provided under the heading “Potential Payments Made Upon Termination or a Change of Control.”

Executive Benefits

In addition to base salary, annual incentive compensation and long term equity incentives, the Company also provides certain of its named executive officers with executive benefits. The primary executive benefits include certain health insurance coverage, life insurance premiums, discounts and complimentary privileges with respect to the Company’s resorts which are described in the footnotes to the “2011 Summary Compensation Table.” In addition, Messrs. Wynn and Schorr have access to the Company’s aircraft pursuant to time sharing agreements described in “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions—Aircraft Arrangements.” For security purposes, the Board of Directors requires Mr. Wynn to travel on Company aircraft for both personal and business travel, and the Company provides cars and a driver (and security when necessary) for his personal use. Consistent with competitive practice in Macau, Ms. Chen receives a car and driver, certain housing and living expenses and assistance with tax preparation.

CEO Compensation

Mr. Wynn is employed by the Company pursuant to an employment agreement dated October 4, 2002, which was last amended on February 24, 2011 solely to reflect the change in his salary and has a term expiring in 2020. Mr. Wynn, a holder of approximately 10.0% of our common stock, has not received any equity awards as part of his compensation as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Effective February 24, 2011, Mr. Wynn

receives a base salary of $4,000,000 per year, and participates in the Incentive Plan. Mr. Wynn is provided with Company paid life insurance and disability policies. He also receives certain executive benefits described above.

(1) The amounts set forth in this column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of stock option awards granted in the specified year, computed in accordance with accounting standards for stock based compensation. See Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in the Original Filing for assumptions used in computing fair value. The 2009 grants vest 10% per year beginning on the first anniversary of the grant until fully vested in May 2019.
(2) For executives other than Mr. Wynn, amounts reported as “All Other Compensation” for 2011 consist primarily of accrued cash distributions related to unvested restricted stock. Dividends that are accrued on unvested restricted stock are reported as compensation pursuant to SEC rules because the value of the dividend was not previously reflected in the accounting expense for these awards when they were granted, as the Company did not regularly pay dividends at that time. These dividend amounts are payable to the executive only if and to the extent the restricted stock vests and is not forfeited.

The following amounts for 2011 are included in “All Other Compensation” for Mr. Wynn:

 

  (i) personal use of company aircraft of $910,345 (Mr. Wynn receives no tax-gross ups relating to the value of aircraft usage that is imputed to him as compensation.);

 

  (ii) fair market value of a company-provided villa for 2011, under the Amended and Restated Agreement of Lease between Mr. Wynn and Wynn Las Vegas, LLC dated March 18, 2010, in the amount of $503,831;

 

  (iii) compensation pursuant to the Wynn Resorts, Limited Executive Medical Plan of $14,054;

 

  (iv) executive life insurance premiums of $10,668;

 

  (v) allocated compensation and benefits for the personal use of a driver whom we employ for Mr. Wynn and the personal use of vehicles of $22,902; and

 

  (vi) merchandise discounts of $71,561.

The following amounts for 2011 are included in “All Other Compensation” for Mr. Maddox:

 

  (i) executive life insurance premiums of $756; and

 

  (ii) accrued cash dividends related to unvested restricted stock of $390,000.

Table of Contents

The following amounts for 2011 are included in “All Other Compensation” for Mr. Schorr:

 

  (i) personal use of Company aircraft of $387,982 (Mr. Schorr receives no tax-gross ups relating to the value of aircraft usage that is imputed to him as compensation.);

 

  (ii) executive life insurance premiums of $5,544;

 

  (iii) merchandise discounts of $99,047; and

 

  (iv) $1,625,000 of accrued cash dividends related to unvested restricted stock.

The following amounts for 2011 are included in “All Other Compensation” for Ms. Chen:

 

  (i) housing and other living expenses in Macau of $51,666;

 

  (ii) executive life insurance premiums of $1,260; and

 

  (iii) accrued cash dividends on unvested restricted stock of $1,300,000.

The following amounts for 2011 are included in “All Other Compensation” for Ms. Sinatra:

 

  (i) executive life insurance premiums of $1,656; and

 

  (ii) accrued cash dividends on unvested restricted stock of $187,500.

For amounts shown as personal use of Wynn Resorts’ aircraft, incremental aircraft expenses were calculated by dividing the 2011 total direct (variable) flight expenses (consisting primarily of fuel, maintenance and landing fees) by the total hours the aircraft was operated during the year. The executives’ hourly usage was multiplied by this annual hourly rate. Any reimbursement received from the executive was applied against this amount.

Amounts shown as cash dividends accrued on unvested restricted stock are reported in the year such amounts accrue instead of the year paid, based on an SEC staff interpretation. These amounts are paid only if and when the restricted stock vests.

In 2011, each of the named executive officers received base salary in accordance with the terms of his or her employment agreement, as approved by the Compensation Committee. Key terms of the current agreements as amended are as follows:

 

Named Executive Officer

   Contract
Expiration
     Base Salary  

Mr. Wynn

     10/24/20       $ 4,000,000   

Mr. Maddox

     11/30/13       $ 1,000,000   

Mr. Schorr

     10/31/12       $ 2,000,000   

Ms. Chen

     2/24/20       $ 1,500,000   

Ms. Sinatra

     5/5/14       $ 650,000   

Each of the employment agreements provide that the executive will participate in company profit sharing and retirement plans, disability or life insurance plans, medical and/or hospitalization plans, vacation and expense reimbursement programs. In addition, the agreements provide for severance payments and benefits upon certain terminations of employment, including termination following a change-in-control, as discussed in the section below entitled “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control.”

In July 2011, Ms. Chen was granted a $10 million retention award which vests in full on July 27, 2021, subject to certain provisions. This retention award was awarded to Ms. Chen for her current and expected future contributions to the success of the Company and to provide an incentive to her to remain an employee of the Company. If Ms. Chen’s employment is terminated without “Cause” (as such term is defined in the Agreement) prior to the vesting date by the Company or one of its affiliates (including without limitation, termination due to death or disability), a pro-rated portion of the award equal to the number of full calendar months elapsed between the grant date and the date of such termination of employment divided by 120 shall vest and become payable

within 30 days following such termination of employment. If Ms. Chen’s employment is terminated for any other reason (including termination for Cause or Ms. Chen’s voluntary resignation) prior to the vesting date, the award shall be forfeited in full with no compensation paid under the award.

Discussion of Plan Based Awards Table

The Company’s Incentive Plan rewards management for creation of superior return to stockholders, measured by the operating performance of our resorts. The amounts shown in the table above reflect possible payments based upon salaries in effect during the first quarter of 2011, when the performance criteria were established. Actual payouts were based upon achievement of the 2011 performance criteria of Adjusted Property EBITDA at the Company’s Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Macau resorts which resulted in the payment of maximum bonuses under the Incentive Plan to all named executive officers.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE-IN-CONTROL

Payments Made Upon Termination Due to Death, Complete Disability or License Revocation

The Company’s employment agreements with its named executive officers provide that such agreements terminate automatically upon death or complete disability of the employee, as well as upon failure of the employee to obtain or maintain required gaming licenses. Upon such termination, the employee is entitled to a

 

29


Table of Contents

lump sum payment of accrued and unpaid base salary and accrued and unpaid vacation through the termination date. In addition, certain of the stock option agreements and restricted stock agreements held by the named executive officers provide that unvested options and shares will vest upon such termination.

Payments Made Upon Termination Without Cause at Employer’s Election During the Term

The Company’s employment agreements with its named executive officers provide that such agreements are terminable by the Company without cause upon notice to the employee, so long as a “separation payment” is paid as provided for in such contracts. Cause is defined as (i) willful destruction of property of the Company or an affiliate having a material value to the Company or such affiliate; (ii) fraud, embezzlement, theft, or comparable dishonest activity; (iii) conviction of or entering a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to any crime constituting a felony or any misdemeanor involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude; (iv) breach, neglect, refusal, or failure to materially discharge duties (other than due to physical or mental illness) commensurate with title and function, or failure to comply with the lawful directions of the Company, that is not cured within 15 days after written notice thereof; (v) willful and knowing material misrepresentation to the Company’s or an affiliate’s board of directors; (vi) willful violation of a material policy of the Company or an affiliate, which does or could result in material harm to the Company or to the Company’s reputation; or (vii) material violation of a statutory or common law duty of loyalty or fiduciary duty to the Company or an affiliate.

The “separation payment” consists of a multiple (ranging from one to, in the case of Mr. Wynn, three times) of the sum of (a) base salary through the end of the term of the agreement, but not less than 12 months (and in Mr. Wynn’s and Ms. Chen’s case, not more than 4 years); (b) bonus for all bonus periods based upon last bonus paid pursuant to the employment agreement through the end of the term (and in Mr. Wynn’s and Ms. Chen’s case, this is limited to a maximum of 4 years); and (c) a tax gross up in certain circumstances. In addition, the employee is entitled to health benefits coverage under the same plan or arrangement as the employee was covered immediately prior to termination. Health benefits are to be provided until the earlier of the remainder of the original term, or until the employee is covered by a plan of another employer. In addition, some of the stock option agreements and restricted stock agreements held by the named executive officers provide that unvested options and shares will vest upon termination without cause.

Payments Made Upon Termination by Employee after Change in Control for Good Reason

The Company’s employment agreements with its named executive officers provide that such agreements are terminable by the employee for good reason after a change in control. A change in control is defined as (a) any person or group (other than Mr. Wynn and his affiliates) becomes the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding securities; or (b) the existing directors of the Company (including those elected in the normal course and not including those elected as a result of an actual or threatened election contest) cease to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company. Good reason is defined as: (i) reduction of employee’s base salary; (ii) discontinuation of employer’s bonus plan without immediately replacing such bonus plan with a plan that is the substantial economic equivalent of such bonus plan, or amends such bonus plan so as to materially reduce employee’s potential bonus at any given level of economic performance of employer or its successor entity; (iii) material reduction in the aggregate benefits and perquisites to employee; (iv) requirement that such employee change the location of his or her job or office by a distance of more than 25 miles; (v) reduction of responsibilities or required reporting to a person of lower rank or responsibilities; or (vi) a successor’s failure to expressly assume in writing the employment agreement. Upon termination by the employee pursuant to this provision, the employee is entitled to the same amounts described under “Payments Made Upon Termination Without Cause at Employer’s Election During the Term” above. In addition, if an executive’s termination is deemed to occur in connection with a change in control under the Tax Code, certain executives are entitled to a tax gross up on the excise tax if the executive’s benefits trigger an excise tax. Pursuant to the terms of the applicable stock option agreements and restricted stock grant agreements, some or all of the unvested options and restricted stock held by the named executive officers would immediately vest upon termination by the Company without cause or upon termination by the employee for good reason after a change in control.

Table of Contents

Payments Made Upon Termination

The tables below reflect the amount of compensation that would become payable to each of the named executive officers under existing agreements and arrangements if the named executive’s employment had terminated on December 31, 2011 given the named executive’s compensation as of such date and, if applicable, based on the Company’s closing stock price on that date. These benefits are in addition to benefits available prior to the occurrence of any termination of employment, including under then-exercisable stock options, and benefits generally available to all salaried employees, such as distributions under the Company’s 401(k) plan. In addition, in connection with any actual termination of employment, the Compensation Committee may determine to enter into an agreement or to establish an arrangement providing additional benefits or amounts, or altering the terms of benefits described below, as the Committee determines appropriate.

The actual amounts that would be paid upon a named executive officer’s termination of employment can only be determined at the time of such executive’s separation from the Company. Due to the number of factors that affect the nature and amount of any benefits provided upon the events discussed below, any actual amounts paid or distributed may be higher or lower than reported below. Factors that could affect these amounts include the timing during the year of any such event and the Company’s stock price.

Stephen A. Wynn

In the case of Mr. Wynn, the payment to be made upon death or disability is the salary and bonus that would be payable during the remaining term of the contract with a limit at 4 years and upon “Termination Without Cause at Employer’s Election During the Term” and “Termination by Employee for Good Reason After Change in Control for Good Reason” is three times the salary and bonus that would be payable during the remaining term of the contract with a limit of 4 years.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Historically, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has reviewed for approval or ratification all transactions between the Company and any related person, regardless of amount. In February 2012, the Audit Committee updated its policy. The policy applies to transactions with any related person, which SEC rules define to include directors, director nominees, executive officers, beneficial owners of in excess of 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, and their respective immediate family members. The policy

 

37


Table of Contents

classifies as pre-approved (a) employment of executive officers and director compensation if the compensation is required to be reported under Item 402 of the SEC’s compensation disclosure requirements; (b) transactions with another company or charitable contributions if the related person’s only relationship is as an employee (other than executive officer), director or beneficial owner of less than 10% of that company’s or donee’s shares if the aggregate amount does not exceed the greater of $100,000 or 2% of that company’s or donee’s total annual revenues; (c) transactions where the related person’s interest arises solely from the ownership of the Company’s stock and all stockholders benefit on a pro rata basis; (d) transactions involving competitive bids; (e) regulated transactions involving services as a common carrier or public utility at rates fixed in conformity with law or governmental authority; and (f) transactions with related parties involving a bank as depositary of funds, transfer agent, registrar, trustee under a trust indenture or similar services. The Committee receives notice of the occurrence of all pre-approved transactions. All other transactions with related persons are subject to approval or ratification by the Committee. In determining whether to approve or ratify a transaction, the Committee will take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction.

The following are the material transactions or agreements between the Company and related persons. The Audit Committee has approved or ratified all of these transactions that occurred after the date of the adoption of the policy.

Stockholders Agreement. On January 6, 2010, Mr. Wynn, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Elaine P. Wynn, a director of the Company, and Aruze USA, each greater than 5% stockholders of the Company, entered into an Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement”) whereby that certain Stockholders Agreement, entered into as of April 11, 2002, between Mr. Wynn and Aruze, as amended by that certain Amendment to Stockholders Agreement, entered into as of November 8, 2006, between Mr. Wynn and Aruze, the Waiver and Consent, dated July 31, 2009, and the Waiver and Consent, dated August 13, 2009, was amended and restated in its entirety. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, Elaine P. Wynn (a) became a party to the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement in connection with her ownership of 11,076,709 shares of the Company’s common stock that were transferred to Elaine P. Wynn by Mr. Wynn and (b) became subject to the covenants and provisions thereof, including with respect to voting agreements, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, tag-along rights and certain other restrictions on transfer of such shares subject to release of $10 million of such shares on January 6, 2010 and on each of the following nine anniversaries thereof. In addition, the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement amended the voting agreement provision to provide that each of Mr. Wynn, Elaine P. Wynn and Aruze agree to vote all shares of the Company held by them and subject to the terms of the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement in a manner so as to elect to the Company’s Board of Directors each of the nominees contained on each and every slate of directors endorsed by Mr. Wynn, which slate will include, subject to certain conditions, Elaine P. Wynn and, so long as such slate results in a majority of directors at all times being candidates endorsed by Mr. Wynn, nominees approved by Aruze. As a result of the share redemption described below, the shares previously held by Aruze are no longer issued and outstanding and neither Mr. Wynn nor Ms. Wynn has or shares the power to vote or dispose of the Aruze Shares formerly held by Aruze USA. Further, by virtue of that redemption, neither Mr. Wynn nor Ms. Wynn remains a member of any “group” with Aruze USA nor is either of Mr. Wynn or Ms. Wynn otherwise a beneficial owner of the former Aruze Shares.

Share Redemption. On February 18, 2012, the Company redeemed the 24,549,222 shares then held by Aruze USA (the “Aruze Shares”), pursuant to Article VII of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation based on the determination of the Company’s Board of Directors that Aruze USA, Universal Entertainment Corporation and Mr. Kazuo Okada are “Unsuitable Persons” under the provisions of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. Following a finding of “unsuitability,” Wynn Resorts’ articles authorize redemption at “fair value” of the shares held by unsuitable persons. The Company engaged an independent financial advisor to assist in the fair value calculation and concluded that a discount to the current trading price was appropriate because of, among other

Table of Contents

things, restrictions on most of the shares which are subject to the terms of an existing stockholder agreement. Pursuant to the articles of incorporation, Wynn Resorts issued the Redemption Price Promissory Note (the “Note”) to Aruze USA, Inc. in redemption of the shares.

The Note has a principal amount of $1,936,442,631.36, matures on February 18, 2022 and bears interest at the rate of 2% per annum, payable annually in arrears on each anniversary of the date of the Note. The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time and from time to time, and without penalty or premium, prepay the whole or any portion of the principal or interest due under the Note. In no instance shall any payment obligation under the Note be accelerated except in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company or as specifically mandated by law. The indebtedness evidenced by the Note is and shall be subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Note, to the prior payment in full of all existing and future obligations of the Company or any of its affiliates in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money of any kind or nature.

Artwork. Since June 2006, Wynn Las Vegas has leased certain pieces of fine art from Mr. Wynn for an annual fee of one dollar ($1). Wynn Las Vegas is responsible for all expenses incurred in exhibiting and safeguarding those works that it exhibits under the lease, including the cost of insurance (including terrorism insurance) and taxes.

Surname and Rights of Publicity Agreements. On August 6, 2004, Wynn Resorts Holdings, LLC entered into agreements with Mr. Wynn that confirm and clarify Wynn Resorts Holdings’ rights to use the “Wynn” name and Mr. Wynn’s persona in connection with its casino resorts. Under the parties’ Surname Rights Agreement, Mr. Wynn granted Wynn Resorts Holdings an exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, perpetual, worldwide license to use, and to own and register trademarks and service marks incorporating the “Wynn” name for casino resorts and related businesses, together with the right to sublicense the name and marks to its affiliates. Under the parties’ Rights of Publicity License, Mr. Wynn granted Wynn Resorts Holdings the exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide right to use his full name, persona and related rights of publicity for casino resorts and related businesses, together with the ability to sublicense the persona and publicity rights to its affiliates, until October 24, 2017.

Villa Lease. Mr. Wynn currently leases a villa suite at Wynn Las Vegas. Until March 31, 2011, Elaine P. Wynn also leased a villa suite at Wynn Las Vegas.

On March 18, 2010, Mr. Wynn and Wynn Las Vegas entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement of Lease (the “SW Lease”) for two fairway villas to serve as Mr. Wynn’s personal residence. The SW Lease amends and restates the prior lease. The SW Lease was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. The term of the lease commenced as of March 1, 2010 and runs concurrent with Mr. Wynn’s employment agreement with the Company; provided that either party may terminate on 90 days notice. Pursuant to the SW Lease, the rental value of the fairway villas will be treated as imputed income to Mr. Wynn, and will be equal to the fair market value of the accommodations provided. Effective March 1, 2010 through February 29, 2012, the rental value was $503,831 per year as determined by the Audit Committee with the assistance of a third-party appraisal. Effective March 1, 2012, the rental value is $440,000 per year based on the current fair market value as established by an independent third-party appraisal and approved by the Audit Committee. As provided for in the lease, the rental value for Mr. Wynn’s villa will be re-determined every two years during the term of the lease based upon an independent third-party appraisal. Certain services for, and maintenance of, the fairway villas are included in the rental.

On March 17, 2010, Elaine P. Wynn and Wynn Las Vegas entered into an Agreement of Lease (the “New EW Lease”) for the lease of a villa suite as Elaine P. Wynn’s personal residence. The New EW Lease was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. The term of the lease commenced as of March 1, 2010 and terminated December 31, 2010. In 2011, the lease continued on a month-to-month basis and was terminated effective March 31, 2011. Pursuant to the terms of the New EW Lease, Elaine P. Wynn paid annual rent equal to $350,000, which amount was determined based on a third-party appraisal. Certain services for, and maintenance of, the villa suite were included in the rental.

Home Purchase. In May 2010, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with Linda Chen, who is also a director. The term of the new employment agreement is through February 24, 2020. Under the terms of the new employment agreement, the Company purchased a home in Macau for use by Ms. Chen for approximately $5.4 million, and through December 31, 2011, had made improvements with costs totaling $2.1 million to renovate the home. The employment agreement also provides Ms. Chen the use of an automobile in Macau. Upon the occurrence of certain events set forth below, Ms. Chen shall have the option to purchase the home at the then fair market value of the home (as determined by an independent appraiser) less a discount equal to ten percentage points multiplied by each anniversary of the term of the agreement that has occurred (the “Discount Percentage”). The option is exercisable for (a) no consideration at the end of the term, (b) $1.00 in the event of termination of Ms. Chen’s employment without “cause” or termination of Ms. Chen’s employment for “good reason” following a “change of control” and (c) at a price based on the applicable Discount Percentage in the event Ms. Chen terminates the agreement due to material breach by the Company. Upon Ms. Chen’s termination for “cause,” Ms. Chen will be deemed to have elected to purchase the Macau home based on the applicable Discount Percentage unless the Company determines to not require Ms. Chen to purchase the home. If Ms. Chen’s employment terminates for any other reason before the expiration of the term (e.g., because of her death or disability or due to revocation of gaming license), the option will terminate.

Aircraft Arrangements. Messrs. Wynn and Schorr, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, have time-sharing agreements with Las Vegas Jet, LLC, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, covering their personal use of Company-owned aircraft. These time-share agreements require the Company to include as taxable compensation of such executive, the direct costs that the Company incurs in operating the aircraft, up to an amount determined by using the Internal Revenue Service Standard Industry Fare Level (SIFL) tables for his personal use the aircraft. During 2011, the following amounts were included in the executives’ taxable compensation pursuant to these timesharing arrangements: Mr. Wynn $324,186 and Mr. Schorr $136,534. In the event that direct costs in operating the aircraft exceed the amounts determined by using the SIFL method, such additional costs are paid for by the Company.

Reimbursable Costs. The Company periodically provides services to certain of its executive officers and directors, including the personal use of employees, construction work and other personal services. These certain officers and directors have deposits with the Company to prepay any such items. These deposits are replenished on an ongoing basis as needed. At December 31, 2011, Mr. Wynn and Elaine P. Wynn had net deposit balances with the Company of $156,989 and $209,396, respectively. In addition, the Company provides facilities, catering and related goods and services to all full-time employees at a discount depending on the amount spent, and provides certain other goods and services to some of it executives at a discount. Mr. Wynn paid the Company approximately $1.9 million in 2011 for such services in connection with a special event.

Tax Indemnification Agreement. In 2002, Stephen A. Wynn, Aruze USA, Baron Asset Fund, and the Kenneth R. Wynn Family Trust (referred to collectively as the “Valvino members”), Valvino and the Company entered into a tax indemnification agreement relating to their respective income tax liabilities from the contribution of their Valvino membership interests to the Company. The tax indemnification agreement generally provides that the Valvino members will be indemnified by the Company and its subsidiaries for additional tax costs (including interest and penalties) caused by reallocations of income or deductions that increase the taxable income or decrease the tax loss of the Valvino members for the period prior to the contribution of the Valvino membership interests. Any payment made pursuant to the agreement by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the Valvino members may be non-deductible for income tax purposes.

Other. In addition to the above, the Company (or its subsidiaries) employs (a) Eddie Tseng, the spouse of Ms. Chen, President of Wynn International Marketing and a director of the Company, as Senior Vice President of Customer Development of Worldwide Wynn, LLC; (b) Michael Pascal, the brother of Elaine P. Wynn, as a Senior Executive Host of Wynn Las Vegas, and (c) Mr. Michael Pascal’s wife, Mary Ann Pascal, as a Host at Wynn Las Vegas. The Audit Committee of the Company approved each such employment arrangement in advance and determined that compensation was at (or below) levels paid to non-family members. Total compensation paid to the above named individuals for 2011 included the following amounts calculated in the

same manner as the Summary Compensation Table values presented for named executive officers: (a) to Eddie Tseng, base salary and bonus of $572,000, and other compensation of $668, (b) to Michael Pascal, base salary and bonus of $147,500, and other compensation of $2,762, and (c) to Mary Ann Pascal, base salary and bonus of $240,000, and other compensation of $464. The Company anticipates that these individuals will continue to serve in their respective positions during 2012. In February 2012, the Company entered into a consulting agreement for internet marketing services with the daughter of Russell Goldsmith, a member of our board, for a fee of $10,000 per month.

Director Independence

Seven of the twelve members of the Company’s Board of Directors are independent under the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”). In addition, the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines require all independent directors to meet additional, heightened independence criteria that apply to audit committee members under the NASDAQ listing standards.

The Board of Directors has determined that the following directors are independent under the NASDAQ listing standards and that they also meet the additional, heightened independence criteria applicable to audit committee members under the NASDAQ listing standards: Messrs. Goldsmith, Irani, Miller, Moran, Shoemaker, Wayson and Zeman. Based upon information requested from each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, the Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that none of the independent directors has a material relationship with the Company. In assessing independence, the Board of Directors considered all relevant facts and circumstances, including any direct or indirect relationship between the Company and the director or his or her immediate family member. None of the independent directors has any economic relationship with the Company other than receipt of his director’s compensation. None of the independent directors is engaged in any related party transaction with the Company. Mr. Wynn, Mr. Okada, Ms. Wynn, Mr. Schorr and Ms. Chen have been determined not to be independent.
