Wynn Macau has announced it is allocating $596.4 million to its Wynn Resorts Macau (WRM) unit. The move is to comply with the capital requirements laid out in the special administrative region\u2019s (SAR) new gaming laws.<\/p>\n

Macau\u2019s updated gaming policies require concessionaires to hold a certain amount of cash on hand. They must also have a Macau-based managing director hold at least 15% of the voting shares in the entity holding the gaming license. To comply with the latter requirement, Wynn Macau boosted the voting shares held by Linda Chen to 15% from 10%, according to a regulatory filing. Chen currently serves as chief operating officer, executive director, and vice chairman.<\/p>\n

Subject to approval by the Macau government, WRM will amend its articles of association such that (i) all Class A nominative shares of WRM shall be held by the managing director of WRM, who is a permanent resident of Macau; and (ii) in the event of any termination of service or replacement of the managing director of WRM, all Class A nominative shares of WRM shall be transferred to the new managing director,\u201d according to the regulatory document issued by Wynn Macau.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As part of the capital restructuring, Chen receives nearly 730,000 Class A shares in the gaming company, while 2.44 million Class B shares are subscribed to Wynn Resorts Macau. Another 1.62 million Class C nominative shares will flow to Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN),<\/a> the US-based parent of Wynn Macau.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the Class A nominative shares held by Ms. Linda Chen have restricted rights and only entitle [her] to the nominal amount of dividend payable, the company will be effectively entitled to a 100% economic interest in Wynn Resorts (Macau),\u201d added Wynn Macau.<\/p>\n

Wynn Wins Macau License Renewal<\/h2>\n

News of Wynn Macau\u2019s capital restructuring emerged a day after the company, along with the other five concessionaires, was granted a new, provisional gaming license.<\/p>\n

\u201cWynn Resorts is pleased to announce that Wynn Resorts Macau received a provisional award of a gaming concession from the Macau government. The ultimate award of the gaming concession contract remains subject to the final documentation of its exact terms and conditions with the Macau government,\u201d according to a statement issued by the Las Vegas-based gaming company.<\/p>\n

Some analysts say that with the Macau renewal in the rearview mirror, a substantial overhang is removed from Wynn<\/a> and rival operators. Others see multiple catalysts potentially propelling Wynn shares to the upside.<\/p>\n

\n

For example, JPMorgan analyst Joseph Greff wrote in a note to clients on Monday that Wynn stock should benefit from China relaxing COVID-19 travel restrictions. The analyst also noted the investment community\u2019s expectations for the operator\u2019s performances on the Las Vegas Strip and at Encore Boston Harbor are \u201csubdued, creating a low bar.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He said that, based on 2024 estimates, the stock is attractively valued. Greff upgraded Wynn to \u201coutperform\u201d from \u201cneutral\u201d while lifting his price target on the stock to $91 from $71. That implies significant upside from Monday\u2019s close at $78.20.<\/p>\n

Wynn Previously Provided Support to Macau Unit<\/h2>\n

Like other US-based concessionaires, Wynn has previously provided financial support to its Macau business. In June, the Las Vegas company loaned<\/a> the Macau entity $500 million.<\/p>\n

As for the newly revealed capital restructuring, it won\u2019t have a material impact on Wynn Macau.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSince the company will be effectively entitled to a 100% economic interest in WRM, the reduction of voting rights in Wynn Resorts (Macau) held by the Company from 90% to 85% has no material financial impact on the Group,\u201d according to the filing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
