Elaine Wynn Seeks Stockholders Support For Re-election To Wynn Resorts Board

(RTTNews) - Elaine Wynn, co-founder, Board member and third-largest stockholder of Wynn Resorts (WYNN), filed her definitive proxy with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and sent a letter to all stockholders seeking support for her re-election to the Board of Directors at the company's 2015 annual meeting of stockholders.

In the letter, Elaine Wynn highlighted why she believes that she is the most qualified candidate standing for election to the Board and how she is best positioned to be a steward of the company in the future.

The letter highlighted that Elaine has played an integral role in the success of Wynn Resorts from its inception. Elaine is a strong and independent voice on the Board of Directors. Elaine is the third largest stockholder of the company, and her interests are therefore inextricably aligned with the Company's stockholders, a fact that she has no plans to change.

Elaine believes it is critical for the Board to include the perspectives of women. Elaine believes the reasons used by the Board to support her exclusion are confusing, incorrect and unsubstantiated.

Elaine said it believes the Board has abused its powers by taking the extreme step of reducing the number of directors in order to exclude a strong and knowledgeable voice from the Board.

Elaine believes that her decades of civic engagement in local and national leadership positions outside of Wynn Resorts add a unique perspective to the Board.
