LAS VEGAS, September 27, 2024 - Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ: WYNN) ("Wynn Resorts" or the "Company") announced today that Jacqui Krum will succeed Ellen Whittemore as General Counsel and Executive Vice President of Wynn Resorts, following Ms. Whittemore's retirement in early 2025.

Billings, CEO of Wynn Resorts, said, "Ellen Whittemore was, in the truest sense, the right person at the right time to help lead Wynn Resorts through a thicket of litigation and corporate governance changes. Ellen's track record, including her reputation as a person of the highest integrity, was essential in working with regulators, our Board, and employees during a time of transition and change. Recently, Ellen led the successful effort to resolve key remaining legal and litigation matters overhanging the Company, and I appreciate her hard work on those issues. Ellen devoted her efforts to making us a better company; she succeeded, and we are thankful."
