The company estimates that the net proceeds of approximately US$586m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Macau.- Wynn Macau Ltd<\/strong> has announced today (March 3) that it will issue convertible bonds due in 2029, worth US$600m. The company expects to receive around US$586m in net proceeds after accounting for commissions and other related expenses and the funds will be used for general corporate purposes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bonds, which will be issued to professional investors, can be converted into shares at an initial price of HK$10.24 per share. Upon conversion, the bonds will turn into roughly 459.7m shares, which amounts to 8.8 per cent of total issued share capital as of 3 March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBRE Securities told Macau Business that Wynn’s move is aimed at bolstering its balance sheet in Macau. The funds could be used to repay the US$600m of 4.875 per cent notes due in 2024. This would reduce the annual interest expense and extend the maturity by five years in exchange for a potential equity issuance of up to 40 per cent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JP Morgan analysts said the convert premium and 2029 maturity provide enough buffer and that the convertible bonds appear to be an economical way to enhance the balance sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wynn Macau<\/a> has recently reported that its operating revenue for 2022 decreased by 52.2 per cent on year-on-year terms to MOP6.37bn (US$787.5m). Operating revenues decreased by US$473.75m at Wynn Palace<\/strong> and US$314.8m at Wynn Macau<\/strong> due to decreased gaming volumes resulting from travel restrictions related to the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company had US$3.65bn in cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, as of December 31, 2022, and US$837m in borrowing capacity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
