Amendment to 2004 Equity Award Plan. |
On February 5, 2007, Las Vegas Sands Corp. (the Company) amended certain provisions of its
2004 Equity Award Plan (the Plan), including the following:
(a) the definition of Fair Market Value in Section 2(r) of the Plan was amended to mean, on
a given date, (i) if the Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the closing sale price
reported as having occurred on the primary exchange with which the Stock is listed and traded on
such date, or, if there is no such sale on that date, then on the last preceding date on which such
a sale was reported; (ii) if the Stock is not listed on any national securities exchange but is
quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system on a last sale basis, the average between the closing
bid price and ask price reported on such date, or, if there is no such sale on that date, then on
the last preceding date on which a sale was reported; or (iii) if the Stock is not listed on a
national securities exchange or quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system on a last sale basis,
the amount determined by the Committee to be the fair market value on such date based upon a good
faith attempt to value the Stock accurately and computed in accordance with applicable regulations
of the Internal Revenue Service.
(b) the first sentence of Section 13
of the Plan was amended to provide that the Committee shall make an equitable
adjustment or substitution, in order to prevent substantial enlargement or dilution of a
Participants rights as to the number, price or kind of a share of Stock or other consideration
subject to such Awards or as otherwise determined by the Committee to be equitable (i) in the event
of changes in the outstanding Stock or in the capital structure of the Company by reason of stock
or extraordinary cash dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalization,
reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations, exchanges, or other relevant changes in
capitalization occurring after the Date of Grant of any such Award or (ii) in the event of any
change in applicable laws or any change in circumstances which results in or would result in any
substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, Participants, or
which otherwise warrants equitable adjustment because it interferes with the intended operation of
the Plan; provided, however, that the manner of any such equitable adjustment shall be determined
by the Committee in its sole discretion.
(c) a new Section 4(e) was added to the Plan to permit the Committee to delegate to the Chief
Executive Officer acting together with either the President or the Executive Vice President of the
Company the authority to grant Awards under the Plan to any Eligible Person (other than a
Non-Employee Director or an officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries who is subject to the
provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act), provided that such grants are consistent with
guidelines established by the Committee from time to time.
Capitalized terms used in the foregoing description and not defined are used as defined in the Plan.

Form of Restricted Stock Award Agreement. |
On February 6, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the
Company approved a form of restricted stock award agreement to be used in connection with future
grants of restricted stock. A copy of the form of agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
The Company announced today that its subsidiaries Venetian Macao Limited (Venetian Macao)
and VML US Finance LLC (VML) are in discussions with the lenders under the Credit Agreement (the
Credit Agreement), dated as of May 25, 2006, by and among Venetian Macao, VML, the lenders
thereunder, The Bank of Nova Scotia as administrative agent, Banco Nacional Ultramarino and
Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation as co-documentation agents, and Goldman Sachs Credit Partners,
L.P., Lehman Brothers Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., as co-syndication agents and
arrangers, to amend the Credit Agreement and the related Disbursement Agreement. The proposed
amendments would, among other things, reduce the applicable margins on the interest rates
applicable to all classes of loans under the Credit Agreement, provide Venetian Macao and VML with
greater flexibility to use proceeds from the borrowings under these facilities and permit Venetian
Macao and VML to make additional investments. The amendments to the interest rate margins will
require the approval of all lenders under the Credit Agreement, and the other amendments will
require the approval of the majority lenders under the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Company
intends to exercise a portion of the accordion facility under the Credit Agreement. There can be
no assurances that the requisite lenders will approve these amendments or that these transactions
will be consummated.
The information in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
