Indenture financial
"The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of September 22, 2026"
An indenture is a legal agreement between a company that borrows money by issuing bonds and the people who buy those bonds. It explains the rules the company must follow, like paying back the money and keeping certain financial promises. This document helps both sides understand their rights and responsibilities.
make-whole amount financial
"plus a “make-whole” amount set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest"
A make-whole amount is the cash payment a borrower must give investors when it pays off a bond or loan early, designed to compensate them for lost future interest. Think of it like an early-termination fee that equals the current value of the remaining scheduled payments (often calculated using a set interest rate) so investors are put “made whole”; it matters because it changes how costly early refinancing is and affects bond values and investor returns.
change of control triggering event financial
"In the event of a change of control triggering event, the Issuers must offer to repurchase"
A change of control triggering event is a corporate transaction or shift—such as a merger, sale of a majority of shares, or a new party gaining board control—that automatically activates specific contractual rights or penalties. Investors care because these triggers can accelerate debt repayment, alter executive compensation, terminate agreements, or prompt buyouts, and those outcomes can materially affect a company’s value, cash flow and stock price like a sudden change in who runs or owns a household.
sale-leaseback transactions financial
"covenants that limit the ability of the Issuers and the guarantors to, among other things, (1) enter into sale-leaseback transactions"
A sale-leaseback transaction is when an owner sells a property or asset and immediately rents it back from the buyer, like selling your house and signing a lease to keep living in it. For investors, it matters because the seller converts a fixed asset into cash while taking on a new rent expense, which can boost short-term liquidity but change long-term earnings, debt levels and risk profiles that affect valuation and creditworthiness.
events of default financial
"The Indenture also contains customary events of default, including (1) failure to make required payments"
Events of default are specific breaches or failures listed in a loan, bond, or credit agreement that give lenders the right to act, such as demanding immediate repayment, raising interest rates, or taking secured assets. They matter to investors because triggering one is like setting off a financial alarm: it raises the chance of foreclosure, restructuring, or bankruptcy and can sharply reduce the value of a company’s stock or bonds and increase borrowing costs.

Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Indenture for 6.875% Senior Notes due 2035

On September 22, 2026, Wynn Resorts, Limited (the “Company”) announced that Wynn Resorts Finance, LLC (“WRF”) and its subsidiary, Wynn Resorts Capital Corp. (“Wynn Resorts Capital” and, together with WRF, the “Issuers”), each an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $900 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due 2035 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of September 22, 2026, among the Issuers, the guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”) and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Notes were offered and sold in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Notes will mature on March 15, 2035. Interest is payable in cash semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2027.

The net proceeds from this offering, together with cash on hand, will be used to (i) redeem in full Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp.’s outstanding 5.250% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 WLV Notes") and (ii) pay fees and expenses related to the issuance of the Notes and the redemption of the 2027 WLV Notes.

The Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by all of WRF’s domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the Issuers’ existing senior secured credit facilities, except Wynn Resorts Capital, which is the co-issuer of the Notes, the Issuers’ 5.125% senior notes due 2029, the Issuers’ 7.125% senior notes due 2031 and the Issuers' 6.250% senior notes due 2033.

The Issuers may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to September 15, 2029 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus a “make-whole” amount set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date.

On or after September 15, 2029, the Issuers may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Notes are subject to disposition and redemption requirements imposed by gaming laws and regulations of applicable gaming regulatory authorities.

The Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Issuers and the guarantors to, among other things, (1) enter into sale-leaseback transactions, (2) create or incur liens to secure debt, and (3) merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of the Issuers’ assets. These covenants are subject to exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Indenture.

In the event of a change of control triggering event, the Issuers must offer to repurchase the Notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus any accrued and unpaid interest, to, but not including, the repurchase date.

The Indenture also contains customary events of default, including (1) failure to make required payments, (2) failure to comply with certain covenants, (3) failure to pay certain other indebtedness, (4) certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, and (5) failure to pay certain judgments. An event of default under the Indenture allows either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, as applicable, issued under such Indenture to accelerate the amounts due under the Notes, or in the case of a bankruptcy or insolvency, will automatically cause the acceleration of the amounts due under the Notes.

The foregoing description of the Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
