Our operations in Macao are subject to a 12% statutory income tax rate, but in connection with the 35% gaming tax, Venetian Macau Limited (“VML,” a subsidiary of SCL) and its peers received a corporate income tax exemption on gaming operations through December 31, 2027. Additionally, we entered into a shareholder dividend tax agreement with the Macao government, which provided for a payment at an applicable rate of gross gaming revenue for the tax year 2023 through the tax year 2025 as a substitution for a 12% tax otherwise due from VML’s shareholders on dividend distributions paid from VML’s gaming profits. In January 2026, we requested this tax agreement be extended through December 31, 2027. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026, anticipates a similar shareholder dividend tax agreement will be entered into for 2026 and 2027; however, there is no assurance such agreement will be granted.
