Las Vegas Sands Announces Completion of Financing for Marina Bay Sands in Singapore

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Las Vegas Sands Corp. announced today that the company has entered into a credit agreement which provides financing of up to SGD $5,442,604,530 for the development of the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. Borrowings under the credit agreement will bear interest at a spread of 2.25% above the Singapore Dollar SWAP Offer Rate for a selected maturity of one, two, three or six months. The current Singapore Dollar Swap Offer Rate for a maturity of three months is approximately 2.16%.

Las Vegas Sands Corp. President William Weidner stated, "We are pleased to have completed this important financing for our Marina Bay Sands development.

"The vote of confidence we have received from the international financial community, including leading Singapore-based financial institutions, is a testament both to our track record of successful Integrated Resort development worldwide and to the significant economic benefits the Marina Bay Sands, South Asia's first Integrated Resort, will deliver to the economy and people of Singapore," continued Weidner. "Our Marina Bay Sands development remains on track for a late 2009 opening, and we look forward to continuing to work closely with the Singapore authorities as we complete the final design components of this iconic development in the coming months."

Goldman Sachs, DBS Bank Ltd., UOB Asia Limited, and Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited acted as coordinators of the financing. The coordinators as well as affiliates of Citigroup, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Malayan Banking Berhad, Standard Chartered Bank, The Royal Bank of Scotland, Calyon, and The Bank of Nova Scotia acted as Mandated Lead Arrangers.
