Wynn Resorts, Limited (WYNN, Financial)
Institutional Shareholder Services, a leading independent proxy advisory firm, has recommended that Wynn Resorts, Limited (WYNN, Financial)Â stockholders vote on the WHITE proxy card at the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on April 24, 2015. It also recommended WYNN stockholders do not vote for Elaine Wynn on the gold card.
WYNN's Board of Directors has recommended that stockholders vote on the WHITE proxy card FOR the election of two Class I directors, Mr. John J. Hagenbuch and Mr. J. Edward Virtue, to serve until the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Board of Directors strongly believes that the Company's nominees are the most qualified candidates to serve on the Board.
Meanwhile, Elaine Wynn, co-founder, Board member and third-largest stockholder of WYNN, said that she believes that her role as co-founder of the company is an asset to the Board and her experience is unmatched by other Board candidates. She has filed a proxy statement with a GOLD proxy card with the SEC in order to solicit votes for her re-nomination to the Board.
According to Elaine Wynn, the question WYNN stockholders should be asking is a simple one: which of the candidates is best positioned to protect and grow stockholder value over the long-term?
In the middle of this situation, where at the end shareholders will have the final word, WYNN stock closed at $130.72, up $1.32 (or +1.02%) on Monday's trading session.
