Wynn Resorts board says NO to chairman candidate
The board Wynn Resorts Ltd., which was mired in the controversy over sexual abuse allegations against its previous, has reportedly rejected the new chairman candidate. It is said that Elaine Wynn, the majority stakeholder, had proposed the new candidate. The filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, which revealed the development, did not identify the candidate proposed by Ms Wynn. A report by Bloomberg News identified the person as Phil Satre, the former chief executive of Harrahâs Entertainment, now called Caesars Entertainment Corp. He is currently chairman of casino equipment maker International Game Technology Plc.
The news agency said Mr Satre had confirmed to Bloomberg he withdrew his name from consideration for a Wynn Resorts board seat, but Mr Sartre did not provided further details about the matter.
Wynn Resorts is the parent company of Macau casino operator Wynn Macau Ltd. The parent firm has expressed interest in bidding for a potential casino licence in Japan.
In her latest filing, Ms Wynn stated that her proposed candidate was âextremely well-qualifiedâ, having served âon the boards of at least six public companies, including as chairman of the board of three public companies, and has extensive credibility with gaming industry regulatorsâ. The document added that the person was not a âclose associateâ of Ms Wynn.
The filing said: âthe reason provided for [Wynn Resorts] boardâs decision was that neither the nominating and corporate governance committee nor the full board wanted to bring in an outsider as a vice chairman, despite the candidateâs qualifications.â
Ms Wynn further added that, âin an effort to resolve differences between the company and herself, [she] had offered to sign a multi-year standstill in exchange for the candidateâs appointment as chairman.â
The filing stated that the candidate had âmade a board leadership position (chair or vice chair) an express condition to his willingness to join the board, because he felt that a leadership role would be necessary for him to be in a position to help address the companyâs regulatory issues.â
The document added: âWhile the board offered the candidate a board seat, the board did so knowing that it would not meet the candidateâs condition, and he declined.â
In the filing, Ms Wynn again called for all board members of Wynn Resorts to be elected annually. She also expressed concerns that the board âwould do something inappropriate with respect to the terms of the departure of Kim Sinatra,â arguing that Wynn Resorts should seek advice whether to consider this a âfor causeâ termination. Ms Sinatra will cease to serve as the companyâs executive vice president, general counsel and secretary with effect from July 15.
Wynn Resorts has been under pressure from Ms Wynn, a co-founder of the firm, and from some investor advisory firms, to bring in new faces at senior level since the publicity given in January to allegations that former chairman and chief executive Steve Wynn had sexually harassed employees. The entrepreneur has denied the claims, and eventually left the firm in February.
The structure of the Wynn Resortsâ board has changed dramatically over the past three months, with 60 per cent of the directors that had been in place at the start of the year now having departed.
The casino company announced in April the appointment of three new directors for its board, all of them women.
