PROXY SUMMARY

 

—	RESPONSE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Beginning in February 2020 through the date of this report, our operations have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic. Steps were taken by various countries, including those in which we operate, to restrict inbound international travel and implement closures of non-essential operations, including each of our Integrated Resorts, for certain periods in 2020.

Our principal focus during the COVID-19 Pandemic has been the safety and well-being of our Team Members and patrons and providing support for the communities in which we operate. Since February 2020, we have provided significant financial aid, donated food to organizations helping vulnerable members of society and delivered practical solutions such as donations of personal protective equipment (“PPE”), COVID-19 test kits and other essential equipment in our host markets.PROXY SUMMARY

— 2021: MANAGING THROUGH A CHALLENGING YEAR

The COVID-19 Pandemic hadcontinued to have a material negative impact on our operating results in 2020. Our revenues declined 74% year-on-year2021. Additionally, with the passing of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Sheldon G. Adelson, the Company completed a leadership transition. Nonetheless, we were able to $3.61 billion and we recorded a net loss in 2020 of $2.1 billion. Despitesuccessfully navigate the challenges our Company and industry faced, we stood by our communities and Team Members, forgoing furloughs and layoffs to maintain steady paychecks and health benefits when it mattered most. facing the Company:

Although we cannot predict with certainty the timing and pace of the recovery in travel and tourism spending across our market-leading Integrated Resortmarkets, we believe the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on travel patterns is temporary and that underlying demand for our product is strong.

In the process of managing through the challenging operating environment in Singapore.2021, we focused on a number of strategic initiatives over and above our day-to-day focus on our operations, our opportunities for growth and our financial strength. These included the following:

1. Our commitment to stockholders: listening and responding

In 2021, we undertook an extensive program of virtual meetings with stakeholders to discuss the operations and strategy of the Company. We also engaged in extensive dialogue with a wide range of investors on the issues of corporate responsibility, ESG and other matters of stockholder interest. We believe this dialogue provides important perspectives as we seek to deliver stockholder value through our corporate responsibility and ESG efforts.

The following governance and corporate responsibility issues were identified by our investors as the most important to our investors in 2021, and we took decisive action to respond to the issues identified in our dialogue with our stockholders:

2. Leadership transition and succession planning

It was with great sadness that we announced the passing of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Sheldon G. Adelson on January 11, 2021. The Board appointed Robert Goldstein to the position of Chairman and CEO. Mr. Goldstein has more than 25 years of senior leadership experience at Las Vegas Sands. The role of President and COO has been assumed by Patrick Dumont, previously our Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Randy Hyzak succeedssucceeded him in the CFO role, having previously served as our Chief Accounting Officer.

The planning and execution of leadership transition is one of the most important functions of the Board. We are pleased to have developed sufficient senior leadership talent within the organization to enable us to fill three executive positions with highly qualified internal candidates. We will continue to identify and develop executive talent within our organization to ensure effective future leadership transitions.3. Our Corporate Responsibility Program

LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP.AGENDA AND VOTING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE 2022 ANNUAL MEETING•  2021 PROXY STATEMENT    6

We made the decision to suspend our regular dividend program in April 2020, in response to the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 Pandemic. It is our expectation that the circumstances that led to that dividend suspension and the challenging operating conditions of the business in 2020 are temporary. Our underlying strategy of delivering high returns on invested capital and profitable growth remains in place. We look forward to future success in delivering against those objectives and the consequent resumption of a return of capital to stockholders after our business achieves recovery in cash flow generation and we consider it appropriate to do so.

We are committed to sustainable corporate governance practices that promote long-term value creation, transparency and accountability to our stockholders. Below are the highlights of our corporate governance practices.

LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP.•  2021 PROXY STATEMENT    7

The Company has a history of actively and transparently engaging with our stockholders. An important element of our stockholder engagement process is to understand any areas of particular concern. We acknowledge the lower than desired stockholder approval for our advisory votes on compensation for our named executive officers in the last three years. We have actively engaged with stockholders to gather feedback on the design and structure of our executive compensation programs. We value this important dialogue with stockholders on our executive compensation program design and we considered that dialogue as an important component of input as we designed the compensation packages for our executive officers completed in March 2021.

This dialogue on corporate responsibility, ESG and other matters of stockholder interest is fundamental to our relationship with our stockholders and directly impacts our planning and our ESG program design. We believe this dialogue provides important perspectives as we seek to deliver stockholder value through our corporate responsibility and ESG efforts.

Subsequent to those compensation program changes, we have continued to engage actively on this issue in order to explain the rationale for the alterations and solicit feedback from stockholders. This dialogue on corporate responsibility, ESG and any other matters of stockholder interest is fundamental to our relationship with our stockholders and directly impacts our planning and our ESG program design.

In addition, the NYSE corporate governance rules generally require all of the members of a company’s Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee to be independent directors. The Company qualifies as a “controlled company” under NYSE governance rules because the Estateestate of Mr. Adelson, Dr. Miriam Adelson and trusts and other entities for the benefit of the Adelson family members control more than 50 percent of the voting power of the Company’s Common Stock. The Board consists of a majority of independent directors, although, as a controlled company, the Company is exempt from the general NYSE requirement to have a majority of independent directors serve on the Board. The Board has a nominating and governance committee and a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors, although this is not required because as a controlled company the Company is exempt from the applicable NYSE requirement. Independent Directors The Board has determined six of the ten current members of the Board, namely Mses. Chau, and Jordan and Mao, and Messrs. Jamieson, Koppelman, Kramer and Levi, satisfy the criteria for independence under applicable rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the NYSE corporate governance rules. In making its determinations, the Board reviewed all the relevant facts and circumstances, the standards set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the NYSE rules and other applicable laws and regulations. Two of our outside directors, Messrs. Chafetz and Forman, have business and personal relationships with the Adelson family. Mr. Chafetz was a stockholder, vice president and director of the entity that owned and operated the COMDEX trade show and The Sands Expo and Convention Center, which were created and developed by Mr. Adelson. Mr. Forman was vice president and general counsel of this entity. Mr. Chafetz also is a trustee of several trusts for the benefit of Adelson family members that beneficially own shares of our Common Stock. For additional information, see “Proxy and Voting Information — How You Can Vote” and “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” above. These relationships with the Adelson family also include making joint investments and other significant financial dealings. As a result, the Adelson family, and Messrs. Chafetz and Forman may have their financial interests aligned and, therefore, the Board does not consider Messrs. Chafetz and Forman to be independent directors. Because Mr. Goldstein and Mr. Dumont are officers of the Company, they do not satisfy the criteria for independence under applicable rules promulgated under the Exchange Act and the NYSE corporate governance rules. Board Meetings The Board held tentwelve meetings during 2020.2021. The work of the Company’s directors is performed not only at meetings of the Board and its committees, but also by consideration of the Company’s business through the review of documents and in numerous communications among Board members and others.

LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP.•NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS  2021 PROXY STATEMENT    25 Nomination of Directors The Nominating and Governance Committee proposed to the Board the candidates nominated for election at this annual meeting. The Nominating and Governance Committee, in making its selection of director candidates, considered the appropriate skills and personal characteristics required in light of the then-current makeup of the Board and in the context of the perceived needs of the Company at the time. The Nominating and Governance Committee considers a number of factors in selecting director candidates, including:   • the ethical standards and integrity of the candidate in personal and professional dealings; the independence of the candidate under legal, regulatory and other applicable standards; the diversity of the existing Board, so that a body of directors from diverse backgrounds (including professional experience, expertise, race, ethnicity, gender, age and cultural background) is maintained; whether the skills and experience of the candidate will complement the skills and experience of the existing members of the Board; the number of other public company boards on which the candidate serves or intends to serve, with the expectation the candidate would not serve on the boards of more than three other public companies; the ability and willingness of the candidate to dedicate sufficient time, energy and attention to ensure the diligent performance of their Board duties; the ability of the candidate to read and understand fundamental financial statements and understand the use of financial ratios and information in evaluating the financial performance of the Company; the willingness of the candidate to be accountable for their decisions as a director; the ability of the candidate to provide wise and thoughtful counsel on a broad range of issues; the ability and willingness of the candidate to interact with other directors in a manner that encourages responsible, open, challenging and inspired discussion; whether the candidate has a history of achievements that reflects high standards; the ability and willingness of the candidate to be committed to, and enthusiastic about, the individual’s performance as a director for the Company, both in absolute terms and relative to their peers; whether the candidate possesses the courage to express views openly, even in the face of opposition; the ability and willingness of the candidate to comply with the duties and responsibilities set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and by-laws; the ability and willingness of the candidate to comply with the duties of care, loyalty and confidentiality applicable to directors of publicly traded corporations organized in the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation; • the independence of the candidate under legal, regulatory and other applicable standards; • the diversity of the existing Board, so that a body of directors from diverse professional and personal backgrounds is maintained; LAS VEGAS SANDS 2022 Proxy Statement 21     • whether the skills and experience of the candidate will complement the skills and experience of the existing members of the Board; • the number of other public company boards on which the candidate serves or intends to serve, with the expectation the candidate would not serve on the boards of more than three other public companies; • the ability and willingness of the candidate to dedicate sufficient time, energy and attention to ensure the diligent performance of his or her Board duties; • the ability of the candidate to read and understand fundamental financial statements and understand the use of financial ratios and information in evaluating the financial performance of the Company; • the willingness of the candidate to be accountable for her or his decisions as a director; • the ability of the candidate to provide wise and thoughtful counsel on a broad range of issues; • the ability and willingness of the candidate to interact with other directors in a manner that encourages responsible, open, challenging and inspired discussion; • whether the candidate has a history of achievements that reflects high standards; • the ability and willingness of the candidate to be committed to, and enthusiastic about, her or his performance as a director for the Company, both in absolute terms and relative to her or his peers; • whether the candidate possesses the courage to express views openly, even in the face of opposition; • the ability and willingness of the candidate to comply with the duties and responsibilities set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and by-laws; • the ability and willingness of the candidate to comply with the duties of care, loyalty and confidentiality applicable to directors of publicly traded corporations organized in the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation; • the ability and willingness of the candidate to adhere to the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, including the policies on conflicts of interest expressed therein; and • the ability and willingness of the candidate to adhere to the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, including the policies on conflicts of interest expressed therein; and such other attributes of the candidate and external factors as the Board deems appropriate. The Nominating and Governance Committee has the discretion to weigh these factors as itthe Board deems appropriate. The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider candidates recommended by directors and members of management and may, in its discretion, engage one or more search firms to assist in the recruitment of director candidates. Ms. Yibing Mao, who joined our Board in 2021, was recommended as a director nominee by one of our current directors. When conducting searches for new directors, the Nominating and Governance Committee will take reasonable steps to include diverse candidates in the pool of nominees and any search firm engaged by the Nominating and Governance Committee will affirmatively be instructed to seek to include diverse candidates. Although the Nominating and Governance Committee does not assign specific weights to any particular criteria listed above, and no particular criterion is necessarily applicable to all prospective nominees, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board both have a strong commitment to creating and maintaining diversity on the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee does not have a formal policy for considering director candidates recommended by stockholders and believes the processes and procedures in place for identifying, evaluating and selecting board members is sufficiently robust and takes into account, among other factors, stockholder dialogue and feedback. Board Leadership Structure BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE The Board believes Mr. Goldstein is best suited to serve as both its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer because he is the most familiar with the Company’s businesses and industry and best able to establish strategic priorities for the Company. In coming to this conclusion, the Board considered its evaluation of Mr. Goldstein’s previous performance as President and Chief OperatingExecutive Officer, his very positive relationships with other members of the Board and the strategic vision and perspective he would bringhas brought to the position of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Board wasis uniformly of the view that Mr. Goldstein would provideprovides excellent leadership of the Board in the performance of its duties and that naming him as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer would serveserves the best interest of stockholders. The Board has not appointed an Independent Lead Director because the communication and decision-making among the Board with the current leadership structure has proved very effective. The Board will continue to periodically consider the need to appoint an Independent Lead Director.   LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP.•  2021 PROXY STATEMENT    26     22 LAS VEGAS SANDS 2022 Proxy Statement The Board’s Role in Risk OversightCORPORATE GOVERNANCE   THE BOARD’S ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT The Board, directly and through its committees, is actively involved in the oversight of the Company’s risk management policies.

As described under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” below regarding bonuses for our named executive officers, Mr. Adelson was eligible to receive a bonus under his employment agreement, subject to the Company’s achievement of predetermined performance goals. During 2020, the Company did not meet the predetermined performance goals; as a result, Mr. Adelson did not receive a bonus payment for 2020. Under their employment agreements, the other named executive officers are eligible for bonuses and equity-based awards, up to a target percentage of their respective base salaries, based on the achievement of predetermined performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee. During 2020,2021, the Company did not meet the predetermined performance criteria; as a result, the other named executive officers did not receive bonus payments for 2020.2021. The Compensation Committee’s active oversight of bonus payouts under our annual short-term incentive program and equity-based compensation awards to executives, the discretionary nature of the Team Member bonuses, and the weighing of financial and individual performance factors means there may not be any direct correlation between any particular action by a Team Member and the Team Member’s receipt of a bonus. In addition, bonus payouts are capped at 250%200% for the Chairman and 100%CEO and President and COO and 125% for our other named executive officers, and all Team Members eligible to receive bonuses are subject to our forfeiture of improperly received compensation policy.   Meetings in Executive Session and Presiding Non-Management Director   LAS VEGAS SANDS 2022 Proxy Statement 23     MEETINGS IN EXECUTIVE SESSION AND PRESIDING NON-MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR In accordance with applicable rules of the NYSE and the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board has adopted a policy to meet at each regularly scheduled Board meeting in executive session without management directors or any members of the Company’s management being present.

We do this by tying compensation to the achievement of performance goals that promote creation of stockholder value and by designing compensation to attract and retain high-caliber executives in a competitive market for talent. Our executive compensation program is overseen by the Compensation Committee, which has developed an executive compensationthe program to accomplish the following primary objectives:   Attract and retain key executive talent to support the Company’s strategic growth priorities and culture;   Maximize long-term stockholder value through alignment of the compensation and interests of the executive officers with those of our stockholders;stockholders, including by granting equity-based compensation in the form of restricted stock units and stock options that incentivize growing our business in ways that drive stock price appreciation over the long term;   Reward the executive officers by aligning their compensation with the achievement of Company financial objectives and their individual performance goals with our strategic objectives; and   Incentivize the accomplishment of key operational objectives by incorporating performance criteria beyond stock price appreciation into our one-time performance-based stock option grants; and Promote good corporate citizenship in our executive officers.   LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP.  •  2022 Proxy Statement2021 PROXY STATEMENT 31 27     — — ELEMENTS OF EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION Annual Compensation Mix The above annual compensation mix is based on the employment agreements entered into by each named executive officer in 2021 and reflects the following: Target annual incentive denotes annual cash bonus and assumes “at target” achievement of goals; Excludes one-time sign-on equity grants received as part of the new employment agreement; Excludes one-time stock options provided in December 2021; and Excludes benefits such as security, personal aircraft usage and health coverage. The amounts represented above are the contractual annual amounts pursuant to the new employment agreements. Actual amounts earned may differ for the year.

Illustration of Compensation Mix Under New Employment Agreements New employment agreements were implemented with our executive officers in March 2021. The new agreements are designed to reduce the salary component as a proportion of overall compensation and increase the proportion of equity and at-risk components. We also expanded our performance metrics to include ESG factors as well as financial performance for both equity and non-equity incentive compensation. The following pro-forma illustrations demonstrate the approximate impact of these new agreements on the elements of executive compensation. CEO COMPENSATION MIX OTHER NEO COMPENSATION MIX Note: The above illustration for the 2021 employment agreements reflect the following: • Assumes “at target” achievement of goals for all performance-based compensation • Reflects the full impact of multi-year equity compensation components at target • Excludes equity granted outside of annual performance-based program • Other compensation has been estimated based on historic compensation costs associated with each individual     28   LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP.  •  2022 Proxy Statement2021 PROXY STATEMENT 32 — THE PROCESS OF SETTING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS   — THE PROCESS OF SETTING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION We have entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Adelson, Goldstein, Dumont, Hyzak and Hudson. The employment agreements provide the overall framework for the compensation for these named executive officers, including base salary, target bonus amounts and equity-based awards. The Compensation Committee approved the compensation packages for Messrs. Adelson, Goldstein, Dumont, Hyzak and Hudson at the time we entered into their respective employment agreements and any amendments thereto and approved all bonuses and equity awards granted during the terms of these agreements and the period in which each of these individuals has served as an executive officer. agreements. The Compensation Committee believes that most of the compensation for named executive officers should be at risk and tied to a combination of short-term Company performance and long-term stockholder value creation. As indicated above, 57%84% and 58%77% of the compensation of Mr. AdelsonGoldstein and our named executive officers, respectively, varies with either short-term or long-term Company performance. In establishing a mix of fixed and variable compensation, the Compensation Committee seeks to maintain its goal of making the majority of compensation tied to performance, while also affording compensation opportunities that, in success, would be competitive with alternatives available to the executive. Furthermore, when determining the compensation structure for Mr. Adelson, the Compensation Committee took into consideration his position as the majority stockholder of the Company through his and his family’s stock ownership. Because Mr. Adelson’s stockholdings served to align his interests with other stockholders, his compensation structure was designed to principally provide non-equity linked compensation. The Compensation Committee believes at-risk compensation provides the executive officers with clear objectives to meet annual financial targets and to continue the historical execution of our strategic objectives of growing our operations by continued investment in our Integrated Resort properties and increasing returns to stockholders, while also aligning the equity component of compensation to the creation of long-term stockholder value. Specifically, the Compensation Committee believes that granting equity-based compensation in the form of restricted stock units and stock options incentivizes management to continue to grow our business in ways that drive stock price appreciation over the long term. Due to the material negative impact that the COVID-19 Pandemic had on our operating results in 2021, our named executive officers did not receive any at-risk compensation related to the 2021 fiscal year. This was also the case in 2020.   — COMPENSATION BEST PRACTICES LAS VEGAS SANDS 2022 Proxy Statement 29     In order to further align the compensation of our named executive officers, recognizing there were no payouts under our management incentive compensation programs for either 2020 or 2021, and after considering input from Korn Ferry (the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant), the Compensation Committee granted performance-based stock options to Messrs. Goldstein, Dumont, Hyzak and Hudson in December 2021 outlined as below:   The specified ESG initiatives are: (a) obtaining LEED certification of our new standalone Las Vegas corporate offices; (b) completion of a review of our hiring and compensation practices; and (c) completion of the identification and definition of diversity, equity and inclusion principles for our SCL and MBS subsidiaries. Upon certain limited qualifying terminations of employment (i.e., termination without cause or for good reason), any unvested options will remain outstanding and eligible to vest subject to the achievement of three out of the four key performance objectives. To avoid windfall scenarios, the performance-based stock options do not contain retirement protections and always require satisfaction of the performance objectives. The Compensation Committee believes these one-time performance-based stock options create direct alignment between our executive officers and our stockholders and provide critical incentive and retention value with respect to our executive officers given the negative impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on other significant elements of our executive officer compensation program over the past two fiscal years. — COMPENSATION BEST PRACTICES Our executive compensation program reflects many best practices:   WHAT WE DO   WHAT WE DO NOT DO ✓ Provide the opportunity for stockholders to vote on the advisory “say-on-pay”“say-on-pay” proposal on an annual basis   No supplemental executive retirement plans ✓ Maintain a clawback policy for our cash and equity incentive awards   No guaranteed bonuses ✓ Utilize short-term and long-term performance-based incentives/measures   No repricing of stock options ✓ Fully disclose our incentive plan performance measures   No “golden parachute” excise tax gross ups ✓ Align our executive compensation structure with the interests of our stockholders     No “single-trigger” vesting or benefits solely upon the occurrence of a change in control ✓ A majority of executive compensation is variableat-risk and is tied to the Company’s performance     ✓ Retain an independent executive compensation consultant           30 LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP.  •  2022 Proxy Statement2021 PROXY STATEMENT 33 — MAJOR ELEMENTS OF EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS   — MAJOR ELEMENTS OF EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION The major elements of compensation for our executive officers and details regarding how each component was determined are described below. Base Salary Base salary levels for the named executive officers are set forth in their respective employment agreements. The base salary amounts were determined at the time we entered into the various employment agreements based on each individual’s professional experience and scope of responsibilities within our organization, compensation levels for others holding similar positions in other organizations and compensation levels for senior executives at the Company. Upon the effectiveness of his appointment as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer on January 26, 2021, Mr. Goldstein’s annual base salary was decreased from $4.5 million to $3.0 million as part of our effort to ensure that most of his compensation should be “at-risk.” Upon the effectiveness of his appointment as President and Chief Operating Officer on January 26, 2021, Mr. Dumont’s annual base salary was increased from $1.2 million to $2.5 million to reflect his increased level of seniority and responsibility. Short-term Incentives (Cash Bonus) For 2020,2021, our named executive officers were eligible for short-term performance-based cash incentives under their employment agreements, subject to the Company’s Executive Cash Incentive Plan. The Executive Cash Incentive Plan establishes a program of short-term incentive compensation awards for executive officers and other key executives that is directly related to our performance results. Due to the material negative impact that the COVID-19 Pandemic had on our operating results in 2021, our named executive officers did not receive any short-term performance-based cash incentives related to the 2021 fiscal year. This was also the case in 2020. Predetermined performance targets are used to establish the annual cash incentives for our named executive officers and are comprised of the Company’s adjusted property EBITDA, as adjusted for certain discretionary items deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee. For Messrs. Adelson, Goldstein, Dumont, Hyzak and Hudson, the Compensation Committee determined the 20202021 EBITDA-based performance target to be based on the Company’s consolidated adjusted property EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, adjusted to add back corporate expense and exclude the Management Incentive Program (described below) bonus accrual. Adjusted property EBITDA is used to measure the operating performance of our properties compared to those of our competitors. This metric establishes our ability to pay dividends, support the continued investment in our existing properties and future development projects, and our ability to return capital to stockholders through our share repurchase program. The Compensation Committee may subsequently approve additional discretionary items to be taken into account when determining the actual performance achieved during the period for purposes of determining the financial achievement percentage of the predetermined EBITDA-based performance targets. When determining the 2020 actual EBITDA-based performance for Messrs. Adelson, Goldstein, Dumont and Hudson, the Compensation Committee approved adjustments for the impact of certain variances in table games’ win percentages (hold normalization) and foreign exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and Singapore dollar. In determining the 2020 EBITDA-based performance targets, the Compensation Committee’s goal was to set an aggressive objective based on its review of the annual budget information provided by management and the Board’s discussions with our executive officers and management about the assumptions underlying the 2020 budget and the Company’s operating and development plans for 2020. The Compensation Committee believes the achievement of the 2020 performance target required Messrs. Adelson, Goldstein, Dumont and Hudson to perform at a high level to earn the target bonus payment. The Compensation Committee established a 2020 predetermined EBITDA-based performance target for Messrs. Adelson, Goldstein, Dumont and Hudson of $4.66 billion. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Company did not achieve the minimum predetermined EBITDA-based performance targets. As a result, no annual cash incentive bonus payments were made to our named executive officers for 2020. Mr. Adelson Under his amended employment agreement, Mr. Adelson was eligible to receive an annual cash incentive bonus contingent on the Company’s achievement of annual performance targets that are EBITDA-based. Mr. Adelson’s annual cash bonus ranged from $0 (if the Company achieved less than 85% of the predetermined EBITDA-based performance target) to a maximum 250% of his annual base salary (if the Company achieved 100% or greater of the predetermined EBITDA-based performance target) (the “Maximum Bonus”). If the Company achieved 85% of the EBITDA target, Mr. Adelson’s annual cash bonus would have been 20% of the Maximum Bonus and the amount of the annual cash bonus would have been determined using straight line interpolation of achievement between 85% and 100% of the EBITDA-based performance target. Messrs. Goldstein, Dumont and Hudson Under their employment agreements, Messrs. Goldstein, Dumont, Hyzak and Hudson are eligible to receive discretionary bonuses under the Company’s Management Incentive Program, subject to the Executive Cash Incentive Plan. The Management Incentive Program, which has been implemented by the Compensation Committee pursuant to the Company’s Executive Cash Incentive Plan, is the Company’s bonus program whose participants also include many of the Company’s Team Members. Under the Company’s 20202021 Management Incentive Program, the Company must achieve at least 90%85% of the predetermined EBITDA-based performance target in order for Messrs. Goldstein, Dumont, Hyzak and Hudson to be eligible to receive annual bonuses. Their bonus payment amounts can be up to 100%115% of their respective target awards. The Compensation Committee may subsequently approve additional discretionary items to be taken into account when determining the actual performance achieved during the period for purposes of determining the financial achievement percentage of the predetermined EBITDA-based performance targets. When determining the 2021 actual EBITDA-based performance for Messrs. Goldstein, Dumont, Hyzak and Hudson, the Compensation Committee approved adjustments for the impact of certain variances in table games’ win percentages (hold normalization) and foreign exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and Singapore dollar. In determining the 2021 EBITDA-based performance targets, the Compensation Committee’s goal was to set an aggressive objective based on its review of the annual budget information provided by management and the Board’s discussions with our executive officers and management about the assumptions underlying the 2021 budget and the Company’s operating and development plans for 2021. The Compensation Committee believes that achievement of the 2021 performance target would have required Messrs. Goldstein, Dumont, Hyzak and Hudson to perform at a high level to earn the target bonus payment.   LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP.  •  2022 Proxy Statement2021 PROXY STATEMENT 34 31     The Compensation Committee established a 2021 predetermined EBITDA-based performance target for Messrs. Goldstein, Dumont, Hyzak and Hudson of $1.44 billion. As mentioned above, due to the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Company did not achieve the minimum predetermined EBITDA-based performance targets. As a result, no annual cash incentive bonus payments were made to our named executive officers for 2021. No annual short-term incentives paid to NEOs in 2021. Long-term Incentives (Equity Awards) Mr. Adelson was and Messrs. Goldstein, Dumont, Hyzak and Hudson are eligible for long-term equity incentives under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2004 Equity Award Plan, which is administered by the Compensation Committee and was created to allow us to attract, retain and motivate Team Members and to enable us to provide incentives directly related to increases in our stockholder value. Mr. Adelson was entitled under his amended employment agreement to an annual stock option grant to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock in accordance with the Amended and Restated 2004 Equity Award Plan. The employment agreements for Messrs. Goldstein, Dumont, Hyzak and Hudson provided for sign-on equity incentive awards but did notin the form of restricted stock units and also provide for subsequent or annual grants of equity incentive awards.awards in the form of restricted stock units subject to meeting certain EBITDA-based performance criteria. The actual amount of annual grants of equity incentive awards is determined by the Compensation Committee however, is authorized to award such grants in its sole discretion. ProvidingThe Compensation Committee believes that providing such long-term equity incentives:   aligns align our executive officers’ long-term interest with those of our stockholders;stockholders by incentivizing management to continue to grow our business in ways that drive stock price appreciation over the long term;   ensures focus on building and sustaining stockholder value; and   promotes retention of our executive officers. For 2021, our named executive officers did not receive the annual grants of equity incentive awards in the form of restricted stock units as the Company did not meet the minimum EBITDA-based performance targets. Given there were no payouts under our management incentive compensation programs (including short-term and long-term incentives) for either 2020 or 2021, and after considering input from Korn Ferry, the Compensation Committee elected to grant performance-based stock options to Messrs. Goldstein, Dumont, Hyzak and Hudson in December 2021 that vest in equal annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, subject to (i) the achievement of three out of four key performance objectives on or prior to December 31, 2022 and (ii) continued employment on each annual vesting date. If the key performance objectives are not achieved on or prior to December 31, 2022, the performance-based stock options will terminate and be forfeited effective as of December 31, 2022. The four key performance objectives include: (1) completion of the sale of our Las Vegas operations and assets by June 30, 2022, (2) extension or renewal of our Macao casino concession by December 31, 2022, (3) completion of The Londoner Macao by June 30, 2022, and (4) completion of the following ESG initiatives: (x) obtaining LEED certification of our new standalone Las Vegas corporate offices, (y) completion of a review of our hiring and compensation practices and (z) completion of the identification and definition of diversity, equity and inclusion principles for our SCL and MBS subsidiaries. Upon certain limited qualifying terminations of employment (i.e., termination without cause or for good reason), any unvested options will remain outstanding and eligible to vest subject to the achievement of three out of the four key performance objectives. The Compensation Committee determined that each of these four goals would have a meaningful impact on shareholder value, and that setting the achievement target at three out of the four goals provides management with sufficient flexibility to appropriately manage the Company and pursue achievable goals in an operating environment, which continues to be impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic. To avoid windfall scenarios, the performance-based stock options do not contain retirement protections and always require satisfaction of the performance objectives. The Compensation Committee believes that these one-time performance-based stock options create direct alignment between our executive officers and our stockholders and provide critical incentive and retention value with respect to our executive officers given the negative impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on other significant elements of our executive officer compensation program over the past two fiscal years. Additionally, in connection with our NEO’s new employment agreements, in 2021 the Compensation Committee granted each of our NEOs a one-time award of restricted stock units, which will vest ratably on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the applicable NEO’s continued employment as of the applicable vesting date.     32 LAS VEGAS SANDS 2022 Proxy Statement COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS   For more information about equity incentive awards, see “— Executive Compensation Related Policies and Practices — Grant Practices for Stock Options, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units” and “Executive Compensation and Other Information — Employment Agreements.” Grants made during 20202021 are included in the 20202021 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table.   No annual long-term incentives awarded to NEOs in 2021.

LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP.  •  2021 PROXY STATEMENT 35 Employment Agreements in Place during 2020 Messrs. Adelson, Goldstein, Dumont, Hyzak and Hudson are employed pursuant to multi-year employment agreements that reflect the individual negotiations with each of them. We use multi-year employment agreements to foster retention and succession planning, to be competitive and to protect the business with restrictive covenants, such as non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions. The employment agreements provide for severance pay in the event of the involuntary termination of the executive’s employment without cause (or, where applicable, termination for good reason), which allows these executives to remain focused on the Company’s interests and, where applicable, serves as consideration for the restrictive covenants in their employment agreements. Employment agreement terms and compensation for our executive officers are summarized as follows: MR. ADELSON Employment Agreement Term •   Originally effective as of December 20, 2004 •   Amended employment agreement effective as of January 1, 2017 •   Mr. Adelson’s death on January 11, 2021 was a termination event The Compensation Committee believed amending his employment agreement was in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and, based on discussions with AETHOS, the terms of Mr. Adelson’s amended employment agreement were fair to the Company. Salary Mr. Adelson’s base salary in 2020 was $5,000,000 and remained unchanged from 2019.

Adelson, Goldstein, Dumont, Hyzak and Hudson provide for payments and the continuation of benefits upon certain terminations of employment, including for Messrs. Adelson, Goldstein, Dumont and Dumont,Hyzak, upon certain terminations of employment within two years following a change in control of the Company. Mr.  Adelson’s employment agreement allowed him to voluntarily terminate his employment at any time during the one-year period following a change in control. Mr. Goldstein’s and Mr. Dumont’s employment agreements provide the executive may voluntarily terminate his employment agreement upon 30 days’ and 90  days’ written notice, respectively, following a change in control, provided that his termination of employment may not be effective until twelve months following the change in control. In addition, the employment agreements with Messrs. Adelson, Goldstein, Dumont, Hyzak and Hudson include restrictive covenants relating to future employment. The Compensation Committee believes thethat eligibility to receive post-termination payments provideprovides important retention incentives during what can be an uncertain time for executives. TheyThe eligibility to receive such payments also provideprovides executives with additional monetary motivation to focus on and complete a transaction that the Board believes is in the best interests of our stockholders rather than to seek new employment opportunities. Under their employment agreements, if any payments to our executive officers are subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), the payments that are considered to be “parachute payments” will be limited to the greatest amount that can be paid without causing any excise tax to be applied to the executive or loss of deduction to the Company,but only if,by reason of such reduction,the net after-tax benefit to them (as defined in their employment agreement) exceeds the net after-tax benefit if the reduction were not made. The Company’s Amended and Restated 2004 Equity Award Plan was originally established in 2004.2004 and amended most recently in 2019. The purpose of the plan is to provide a means through which the Company may attract able persons to enter and remain in the employ of the Company. The change in control provisions of the plan were designed in furtherance of this goal. Further information about benefits upon certain terminations of employment (including following a change in control) are described under “Executive Compensation and Other Information — Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.” LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP.— TAX AND ACCOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION  •  2021 PROXY STATEMENT 42 — TAX AND ACCOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Section 162(m) of theThe Internal Revenue Code The Compensation Committee takes into account multiple considerations when determining the components of our executive compensation program, including the tax-deductibility of compensation. The Compensation Committee maintains the flexibility to pay non-deductible incentive compensation if it determines that doing so is in the best interest of the Company and our stockholders. Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows deductions for compensation paid to certain members of senior management in excess of $1 million per year. Historically, this deduction limitation did not apply to“performance-based”to “performance-based” compensation as described in the regulations under Section 162(m) and our executive compensation program was generally designed to maximize tax deductibility by satisfying the performance-based compensation exception to Section 162(m). On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”). The Act made significant changes to the executive compensation deduction rules in Section 162(m) including the elimination of the historic exception for qualified “performance-based” compensation in determining the deductibility limitation. In addition, the Act provided the Section 162(m) deduction limitation will apply to annual compensation paid to an individual who served as the chief executive officer or chief financial officer at any time during the taxable year or one of the three highest compensated officers (other than the chief executive officer or chief financial officer) for the taxable year (collectively, the “covered employees”). Once an individual is a covered employee for a taxable year beginning after December 31, 2016, the individual is considered a covered employee for all future years, including after termination of employment and even after death. These changes effectively eliminated the opportunity to design executive compensation programs for our named executive officers on a go-forward basis that are tax-deductible. tax-deductible in excess of $1 million per year. The Act includes a transition relief rule under which the changes to Section 162(m) described above will not apply to compensation payable pursuant to a written binding contract that was in effect on November 2, 2017 and is not materially modified after that date. To the extent applicable to our existing arrangements, the Company may avail itself of this transition relief rule.   — EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION RELATED POLICIES AND PRACTICES     38 LAS VEGAS SANDS 2022 Proxy Statement COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS   — EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION RELATED POLICIES AND PRACTICES Policies Regarding Stock Ownership and Hedging the Economic Risk of Stock Ownership The Company believes the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by each executive officer is a personal decision and encourages stock ownership, including through the compensation policies applicable to its executive officers. Accordingly, the Company has not adopted a policy requiring its executive officers to hold a minimum amount of the Company’s Common Stock during their employment at the Company. Under our securities trading policy, our officers, directors and Team Members are not permitted to hold our Common Stock in a margin account or pledge our Common Stock for a loan, sell our Common Stock short, buy or sell puts, calls or other derivative instruments relating to our Common Stock or enter into hedging or monetization transactions involving our Common Stock. Forfeiture of Improperly Received Compensation Policy The Board has adopted a forfeiture of improperly received compensation policy (the “Policy”), which applies to all Team Members of the Company and its affiliates eligible to receive a bonus, incentive or equity award based in whole or in part on financial performance measures. The Policy applies whenever (1) there is a restatement (as such term is defined in the Policy) and it results in a revision to one or more performance measures used to determine an annual bonus or other incentive or equity-based compensation paid or awarded to a Team Member in respect of the period(s) to which the restatement relates (the “relevant period”), (2) the relevant period commenced not more than three years prior to the time at which the need for the restatement is identified, (3) such revision results in a reduction in the amount or value of such bonus or other incentive or equity-based compensation and (4) such restatement is, in whole or in part, caused by the Team Member’s misconduct (“Misconduct,” as such term is defined in the Policy). The Board, or a designated Committee, may in its discretion require repayment and forfeiture of all or a portion of any bonus or incentive or equity-based LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP.•  2021 PROXY STATEMENT    43 compensation awarded to or received or earned by such Team Member in respect of the relevant period, generally to the extent such bonus or incentive or equity-based compensation exceeds the amount that would have been awarded, received or earned based on the revised performance measures. Whether a Team Member has engaged in Misconduct and the amount or value to be repaid and forfeited shall be determined inat the sole discretion of the Board or a designated Committee. Grant Practices for Stock Options, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units Grants of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units under our Amended and Restated 2004 Equity Award Plan are approved by the Compensation Committee or, for certain Team Members who are not directors or executive officers of the Company, approved jointly by our Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Operating Officer pursuant to a specific delegation of authority from the Compensation Committee.

The compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC (including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and any related material disclosed in the proxy statement) was approved, with more than 63%70% of the votes cast voting “for” approval of the “say-on-pay”“say-on-pay” proposal. The Compensation Committee acknowledges the lower than desired results of the “say-on-pay”“say-on-pay” vote in 20202021 and the previous twothree years and, as a result, we are actively engagingcontinuing to establish a dialogue with our stockholders on this important issue. Specifically, during 2020,2021, we engaged with representatives of the majority of our largest institutional stockholders to discuss specific concerns and solicit feedback in a number of areas, including our executive compensation structure. We value this important dialogue with stockholders on our executive compensation program design and we considered that dialogue as an important component of input as we designed the compensation packages for our executive officers completed in March 2021. We will continue to solicit input during 20212022 from stockholders and will present the results of these discussions to our Compensation Committee. For additional details on the breadth of our stockholder engagement efforts during 2020,2021, see “Stockholder Engagement” above. In connection with our appointments in early 2021 of Mr. Goldstein as Chairman and CEO, Mr. Dumont as President and COO and Mr. Hyzak as CFO, the Compensation Committee retained Korn Ferry, an independent compensation consulting firm (“Korn Ferry”), to provide updated peer group analysis and benchmarking with respect to the appropriate level of compensation for our executive officers, as well as recommendations and advice with respect to the execution of new or amended employment agreements with each of our executive officers. This updated peer group analysis and an overview of the benchmarking provided by Korn Ferry is described below under “– The Committee’s Compensation Consultant.” In March 2021, we entered into new or amended employment agreements with each of Messrs. Goldstein, Dumont, Hyzak and Hudson. The employment agreements provide for: • Employment terms effective through March 1, 2026, which are designed with sufficient duration to allow our executive officers to focus on the Company’s long-term performance without further distraction over compensation terms. • Attractive base salaries designed to retain executive talent and recognize individual responsibilities, performance, and leadership capabilities that are difficult to replicate. • Annual cash bonus opportunities equal to 200% of base salary for Messrs. Goldstein and Dumont, and 125% of base salary for Messrs. Hyzak and Hudson, subject to the achievement of rigorous performance criteria to be set annually by the Compensation Committee, and payable at 85% of target if the performance criteria are achieved at threshold levels but not to exceed 115% of target if the performance criteria are achieved at maximum levels. • One-time grants in 2021 of initial RSU awards that vest ratably on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, which are designed to increase the amount of compensation that is tied in part to equity appreciation. • Beginning in 2022, annual RSU award opportunities equal to 325% of base salary for Mr. Goldstein, 200% for Mr. Dumont and 125% for each of Messrs. Hyzak and Hudson, with the amount of the RSU award to be determined based on the achievement of rigorous performance criteria for the preceding fiscal year to be set annually by the Compensation Committee, and granted at 85% of target if the performance criteria are achieved at threshold levels but not to exceed 115% of target if the performance criteria are achieved at maximum levels; once granted, the RSU awards will vest ratably on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, and are designed to increase the amount of compensation that is tied in part to equity appreciation. LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP.•  2021 PROXY STATEMENT    44 • For Messrs. Goldstein, Dumont, Hyzak and Hudson certain perquisites and benefits, including aircraft usage and personal security, that are provided for the benefit of the Company, subject to tax gross-ups to the extent that the provision of such benefits (which have a business purpose but are nonetheless required to be reported as perquisites in accordance with SEC disclosure rules) result in taxable income to the executive. • For Messrs. Goldstein, Dumont, Hyzak and Hudson market-based severance payments and benefits payable upon a qualifying termination outside of a change in control. • For Messrs. Goldstein, Dumont and Hyzak “double-trigger” market-based severance payments and benefits payable upon a qualifying termination within 24 months following a change in control. • For Mr. Goldstein, if he terminates employment for any reason following the expiration of his employment term, he will receive accelerated vesting of any then-outstanding equity awards. These new or amended employment agreements eliminated certain types of provisions previously included in the Company’s executive employment agreements that our stockholders may have considered to be problematic, including: • The ability to voluntarily resign following a change in control and receive severance payments and benefits (“walk-rights”) • An insufficient emphasis on equity-based compensation that is designed to align the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders over the long-term. • Guaranteed annual equity incentive awards in fixed amounts. • Annual bonuses payable subject to achievement of a single performance metric. We look forward to continuing the important and valuable dialogue with our stockholders regarding our executive compensation program structure and design.   — THE COMMITTEE’S COMPENSATION CONSULTANT LAS VEGAS SANDS 2022 Proxy Statement 39     — THE COMMITTEE’S COMPENSATION CONSULTANTS For 2020,2021, the Compensation Committee retained AETHOS Consulting Group (“AETHOS”) as its independent compensation consultant. AETHOS provides its advice on an as-needed basis upon the request of the Compensation Committee. For a discussion of the analysis and recommendations provided by AETHOS with respect to our non-employee director compensation program for 2021,2022, see “Director Compensation” below. The Compensation Committee determined AETHOS to be independent under applicable SEC and NYSE rules, based on the Compensation Committee’s review of the services provided to the Company as described above and information provided by AETHOS, and concluded no conflict of interest exists that would prevent AETHOS from independently advising the Compensation Committee. In early 2021, the Compensation Committee also retained Korn Ferry to provide updated benchmarking with respect to the appropriate level of compensation for our executive officers in connection with our recent leadership transition, as well as recommendations and advice with respect to our execution of new or amended employment agreements with each of our executive officers. As part of its competitive pay analysis, the Compensation Committee considered information provided by Korn Ferry that compared executive compensation levels for Messrs. Goldstein, Dumont, Hyzak and Hudson against the compensation levels of similarly-situated executives in comparable positions at our peer group companies, as identified by Korn Ferry and described below. For purposes of these analyses, the Compensation Committee worked with Korn Ferry to identify two peer groups. The primary group (our“Primary(our “Primary Peer Group”) includes companies in the hospitality industry that compete with us for the same executive-level talent and are of similar size, complexity and scope and share other characteristics with us. The secondary group (our “Secondary Peer Group”) consists of a broader market group of companies that are included in FORTUNE magazine’s “World’s Most Admired Companies” list, meet specified size parameters, and earn approximately 50% or more of their revenues outside of the United States. Developing a Primary Peer Group and Secondary Peer Group allowed us to develop a broad set of comparables for Messrs. Goldstein and Hyzak and a combined set of comparables for Messrs. Dumont and Hudson (positions for which there were fewer publicly-disclosed direct matches than for the CEO and CFO positions).

As part of this process, the Compensation Committee measured our program’s competitiveness by comparing relevant market data against actual pay levels within each compensation component, and in the aggregate, for each executive officer position. As part of its assessment, the Compensation Committee determined that the current level of compensation for our executive officers was generally below market, based on a comparison of the total direct compensation provided to our executive officers against the total direct compensation provide by our peers to similarly-situated executives, especially with respect to the long-term incentive component of compensation. For purposes of updating our executive compensation programs, in order to retain and motivate our executive team, the Compensation Committee generally compared the target total direct compensation of each of our executive officers in relation to the 75th percentile of our peer companies for similar positions, with actual target total direct compensation recommendations ranging from the 50th to the 92nd percentile after consideration of various factors, including our performance relative to our peers, the unique characteristics of the Company and the individual executive’s position, and succession planning and retention considerations. Korn Ferry also provided advice with respect to the structure and magnitude of the performance-based stock options granted to our named executive officers in December 2021. The Compensation Committee determined Korn Ferry to be independent under applicable SEC and NYSE rules, based on the Compensation Committee’s review of the services provided to the Company as described above and information provided by Korn Ferry, and concluded no conflict of interest exists that would prevent Korn Ferry from independently advising the Compensation Committee.   LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP.•  2021 PROXY STATEMENT    46 LAS VEGAS SANDS 2022 Proxy Statement 41     COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the foregoing Compensation Discussion and Analysis contained in this Proxy Statement with management and, based on the review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included by reference in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and this Proxy Statement.

For 2021, Messrs. Goldstein and our Executive Cash Incentive Plan. In accordance with his employment agreement, Mr. Adelson’s annual cash bonus opportunity ranged from $0 (if the Company achieved less than 85%Dumont were eligible to receive bonuses of the predetermined EBITDA-based performance target) to a maximum 250%200% of histheir annual base salary (if the Company achieved 100% or greater of the predetermined EBITDA-based performance target). For 2020,salaries and Messrs. Goldstein, DumontHyzak and Hudson were eligible to receive discretionary bonuses of 100%125% of their annual base salaries, provided the threshold performance targets,in each to the extent the performance criteria set by the Compensation Committee were met. For Messrs. Goldstein, Dumont, Hyzak and Hudson, the bonuses are payable at 85% of target if the performance criteria are achieved at the threshold payout level, and will not exceed 115% of target if the performance criteria are achieved at the maximum payout level. The actual bonus payout is determined by the Compensation Committee. See the discussion under “— Employment Agreements,” as well as under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Elements of Executive Officer Compensation and Why We Chose to Pay Each Element — Short-term Incentives” for more information regarding bonus incentive awards. Due to the material negative impact that the COVID-19 Pandemic had on our operating results in 2021, our named executive officers did not receive any bonuses in respect of performance in 2021, consistent with 2020. (2) The amounts shown in these columns represent the one-time performance-based stock options granted to our named executive officers in December 2021 that vest in equal annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, subject to (i) the achievement of three out of four key performance objectives on or prior to December 31, 2022 and (ii) continued employment on each annual vesting date. If the key performance objectives are not achieved on or prior to December 31, 2022, all of the performance-based stock options will terminate and be forfeited effective as of December 31, 2022. The four key performance objectives include: (1) completion of the sale of our Las Vegas operations and assets by June 30, 2022, (2) extension or renewal of our Macao casino concession by December 31, 2022, (3) completion of The Londoner Macao by June 30, 2022, and (4) completion of the following ESG initiatives: (x) obtaining LEED certification of our new standalone Las Vegas corporate offices, (y) completion of a review of our hiring and compensation practices and (z) completion of the identification and definition of diversity, equity and inclusion principles for our SCL and MBS subsidiaries. Upon certain limited qualifying terminations of employment (i.e., termination without cause or for good reason), any unvested options will remain outstanding and eligible to vest subject to the achievement of three out of the four key performance objectives. To avoid windfall scenarios, the performance-based stock options do not contain retirement protections and always require satisfaction of the performance objectives. See the discussion under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Elements of Executive Officer Compensation and Why We Chose to Pay Each Element — Long-term Incentives (Equity Awards)” for more information regarding the one-time performance-based stock options. (3) The amounts shown in this column represents the one-time initial awards of time-based RSUs issued to our named executive officers in connection with their new or amended employment agreements. These initial RSU awards vest ratably on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the named executive officer’s continued employment as of the applicable vesting date. (4) Calculated based on the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718 regarding share-based payments. For a discussion of the relevant assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts, see Note 1516 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, included in the Company’s 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.   LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP.•  2021 PROXY STATEMENT    50 LAS VEGAS SANDS 2022 Proxy Statement 45     — OUTSTANDING EQUITY AWARDS AT 2021 FISCAL YEAR-END OUTSTANDING EQUITY AWARDS AT 2020 FISCAL YEAR-END The following table sets forth information concerning our stock options and shares of restricted stock held by Messrs.

In accordance with his employment agreement, Mr. Adelson’s estate became eligible to receive the cash payments (i.e., continued payment of base salary for 12 months, but no incentive bonus payments with respect to 2021 performance, since the applicable performance metrics for 2021 were not achieved due to the material negative impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic), accelerating vesting of options and continued health benefits for his dependents as shown in the table.   LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP.  •  2022 Proxy Statement2021 PROXY STATEMENT 67 57     CEO PAY RATIO CEO PAY RATIO As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our Team Members and the annual total compensation of Mr. Adelson,Goldstein, our Chief Executive Officer (our “CEO”) for 2020:2021:   CEO Pay Ratio       CEO PAY RATIO           CEO Annual Total Compensation(1)   $ 11,344,715   $ 31,054,900     Median Employee Annual Total Compensation   $ 42,809   $ 35,879     CEO to Median Employee Pay Ratio     265:1     866:1     (1) The annual total compensation of our CEO, as reported in the 20202021 Summary Compensation Table under “Executive Compensation and Other Information.”Information” has been adjusted to reflect Mr. Goldstein’s annualized total compensation as CEO assuming he was in such position for the entire year of 2021.   —CEO compensation used to calculate 2021 pay ratio includes full value of one-time performance options and RSU awards that are subject to vesting and, for the performance options, achievement of performance criteria. METHODOLOGY   To identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, as well as to determine the annual total compensation of the “median employee,” the methodology and the material assumptions, adjustments and estimates that we used were as follows:   • We determined, as of December 31, 2020, our employee population consisted of 46,210 individuals working at our parent company and consolidated subsidiaries, with 19% of these individuals located in the United States and 81% located outside of the United States. Of these employees, 44,780 individuals are full-time or part-time employees, with the remainder employed on a seasonal or temporary basis. • We elected to exclude our seasonal or temporary employees who haven’t worked since July 1, 2020, because they were not employees as of December 31, 2020. • We determined 2020 earnings based on the following elements: We determined, as of December 31, 2021, our employee population consisted of 46,148 individuals working at our parent company and consolidated subsidiaries, with 23% of these individuals located in the United States and 77% located outside of the United States. Of these employees, 43,976 individuals are full-time or part-time employees, with the remainder employed on a seasonal or temporary basis. We elected to exclude our seasonal or temporary employees who haven’t worked since July 1, 2021, because they were not employees as of December 31, 2021. We determined 2021 earnings based on the following elements:   —– U.S. employees: Medicare wages reported on 20202021 Internal Revenue Service Form W-2,   —– Singapore employees: 20202021 cash compensation reported to the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore,   —– the remaining employees: all cash compensation reported in the local payroll system,   —– we used the exchange rate on December 31, 20202021 to convert each non-U.S. employee’s total compensation to U.S. dollars, and   —– we annualized the base salary of all full-time and part-time employees who were hired in 2020,2021, but did not work for us or our consolidated subsidiaries for the entire fiscal year. We did not make a full-time equivalent adjustment for any employee. Using this methodology, we determined the “median employee” was a full-time employee located in Las Vegas,Macao, with wages and overtime pay for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2020,2021, in the amount of $32,601.$33,492. With respect to the annual total compensation of the “median employee,” we identified and calculated the elements of such employee’s compensation for 20202021 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, resulting in annual total compensation of $42,809.$35,879. Because the SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio allow companies to use a variety of methodologies, apply certain exemptions and make assumptions, adjustments and estimates that reflect their compensation practices, the pay ratio we report above may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported by other companies. In addition, in accordance with SEC rules, the annual total compensation of our CEO for 2021 includes the grant date fair value, as determined pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 718, of both (i) the one-time initial awards of time-based RSUs issued to our named executive officers in connection with their new employment agreements in March 2021, which are multi-year grants that vest ratably on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, subject to continued employment on each vesting date and (ii) the one-time performance-based stock options granted to our named executive officers in December 2021, which are multi-year grants that vest in accordance with the terms described on page 30 of this Proxy Statement.       58 LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP.  •  2022 Proxy Statement2021 PROXY STATEMENT 68 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION DIRECTOR COMPENSATION The elements of annual non-employee director compensation for 20202021 were as follows:   Annual Board Retainer   $ 150,000   Annual Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Grant(1)   $ 100,000   One-time Stock Option Grant for New Directors(2)   $ 100,000   Annual Cash Retainer - Audit Committee Chairperson   $ 25,000   Annual Cash Retainer - Audit Committee Members   $ 15,000   Annual Cash Retainer - Other Committee Chairpersons(3)   $ 15,000   Annual Cash Retainer - Other Committee Members(3)   $ 5,000   Board Meeting Attendance per Meeting(4)   $ 1,500   Board Committee Meeting Attendance per Meeting(4)   $ 1,000   Telephonic Board Meeting Attendance per Meeting(4)   $ 750   Telephonic Board Committee Meeting Attendance per Meeting(4)   $ 500       Annual Board Retainer   $ 150,000       Annual Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Grant(1)   $ 175,000       One-time Stock Option Grant for New Directors(2)   $ 100,000       Annual Cash Retainer — Audit Committee and Special Litigation Committee Chairperson   $ 25,000       Annual Cash Retainer — Audit Committee and Special Litigation Committee Members   $ 15,000       Annual Cash Retainer — Other Committee Chairpersons(3)   $ 15,000       Annual Cash Retainer — Other Committee Members(3)   $ 5,000       Board Meeting Attendance per Meeting(4)(5)   $ 1,500       Board Committee Meeting Attendance per Meeting(4)(5)   $ 1,000       Telephonic Board Meeting Attendance per Meeting(4)(5)   $ 750       Telephonic Board Committee Meeting Attendance per Meeting(4)(5)   $ 500     (1) Each non-employee director may elect to receive either restricted stock or restricted stock units.

None of the non-employee directors has elected to defer any payments to date. Non-employee directors are also reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with their service as directors, including travel expenses for meeting attendance. The goal of our director compensation program is to attract, motivate and retain directors capable of making significant contributions to the long term success of the Company and its stockholders. No changes to our director compensation program were made in 2020. In early 2021, the Compensation Committee asked AETHOS to provide advice on the elements of, and amounts payable under, our non-employee director compensation program, based on a comparison of our current director compensation program against the director compensation programs maintained by our peer group companies, as identified by AETHOS and described below. Based on these recommendations, the Board approved an increase for 2021 in the annual restricted stock or restricted stock unit grant provided to our non-employee directors from $100,000 to $175,000. In addition, the Board eliminated the payment of meeting attendance fees in early 2021, due to their declining prevalence in the market. In connection with the review of our non-employee director compensation program, the following peer group companies were identified by AETHOS, with the view that if the Company was required to fill an independent director position, the Company would seek to nominate or appoint the types of individuals who are independent directors of these companies. These companies are in comparable industries, compete for the same talent and investment dollars, and are of a similar size, complexity and scope, as the Company. For purposes of updating our annual non-employee director compensation program for 2021, the Compensation Committee generally compared the total compensation of each of our non-employee directors to the median total compensation of the non-employee directors of our peer companies.   LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP. • 2021 PROXY STATEMENT 69 • American Airlines Group Inc. • Hyatt Hotels Corporation • Starbucks Corporation • American Express Company • Loews Corporation • The Walt Disney Company • Caesars Entertainment, Inc. • Marriott International, Inc. • United Continental Holdings, Inc. • Carnival Corporation & plc • McDonald’s Corporation • ViacomCBS Inc.  • The Coca-Cola Company • MGM Resorts International • Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. • Colgate-Palmolive Company • Nike, Inc. • Wynn Resorts, Limited • Delta Air Lines, Inc. • Penn National Gaming, Inc. • Yum!

The fees charged by Sands Aviation are based upon its actual costs of employing or retaining these personnel, which are then allocated between the Company and Interface Operations. The method of allocating these costs varies depending upon the nature of the service provided. For example, pilot services are allocated based upon the actual time spent operating aircraft for the Company and for Interface Operations, respectively. The services of Sands Aviation’s aircraft mechanics are allocated based on the number and manufacturer of aircraft serviced and administrative personnel are allocated based upon the number of aircraft maintained by the Company and Interface Operations, respectively. In addition, hangar lease and other operating costs are allocated based upon various factors, including the number and base location of aircraft maintained by the Company and Interface Operations, respectively. During 2021, Sands Aviation charged Interface Operations approximately $18.1 million for its use of Sands Aviation’s aviation and related personnel, operating costs and other overhead costs.       64 LAS VEGAS SANDS 2022 Proxy Statement CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS Time Sharing Agreements The Company and its subsidiaries use aircraft owned by companies controlled by the Adelson family for business purposes, including flying patrons to our properties. The Company believes its use of these aircraft provides the Company with a significant competitive advantage in attracting patrons to the Company’s properties and similar aircraft with comparable amenities are not generally available for charter. The Company believes the amounts paid to companies controlled by the Adelson family for the use of the aircraft are less than the Company would be required to pay to a third party provider, if comparable aircraft were available, and also believes the amounts paid pursuant to the agreements relating to the use of the aircraft described below do not provide for profits or a return on investment to the companies controlled by the Adelson family. The Company has entered into several aircraft time sharing agreements and aircraft cost sharing agreements with Interface Operations. Under the agreements, the party using an aircraft pays fees of up to (i) twice the cost of the fuel, oil and other additives used, (ii) all fees, including fees for landing, parking, hangar, tie-down, handling, customs, use of airways and permission for overflight, (iii) all expenses for catering and in-flight entertainment materials, (iv) all expenses for flight planning and weather contract services, (v) all travel expenses for pilots, flight attendants and other flight support personnel, including food, lodging and ground transportation and (vi) all communications charges, including in-flight telephone. Under the agreements, the Company charged Interface Operations approximately $1.7$2.7 million in respect of Interface Operations’ 20202021 use of the Company’s aircraft, and Interface Operations charged the Company approximately $1.1$2.4 million in respect of the Company’s 20202021 use of Interface Operations’ aircraft. In addition, the Company has entered into an aircraft cost allocation agreement with Interface Operations Bermuda Ltd. (“Interface Bermuda”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Interface Operations, providing the Company access to a Boeing 747 aircraft and an Airbus A-340 aircraft. Under the agreement, the Company has agreed to pay Interface Bermuda fees of up to (i) a pro ratapro-rata share of all fixed costs, such as hangar, insurance, pilot salaries and training, maintenance, subscription services, support personnel and other similar items (exclusive of tax depreciation), (ii) actual costs of fuel, oil and other additives used, (iii) all fees, including fees for landing, parking, hangar, tie-down, handling, customs, use of airways and permission for overflight, (iv) all expenses for catering and in-flight entertainment materials, (v) all expenses for flight planning and weather contract services, (vi) all travel expenses for pilots, flight attendants and other flight support personnel, including food, lodging and ground transportation and (vii) all communications charges, including in-flight telephone. In 2020,2021, no charges were incurred by the Company for the Boeing 747. Interface Bermuda charged the Company approximately $0.4 million$48,000 in respect of the Company’s 20202021 use of Interface Bermuda’s Airbus 340 aircraft. Aircraft Maintenance Master Services Agreement Sands Aviation and Citadel Completions LLC (“Citadel”), an entity owned by a trust for the benefit of certain members of the Adelson family, have entered into an aircraft maintenance master services agreement under which Citadel may perform aircraft refurbishment and maintenance services on aircraft managed by Sands Aviation. During 2020,2021, Citadel charged Sands Aviation approximately $0.5$0.8 million for services provided by Citadel under this agreement.

Although the vote is advisory and is not binding on the Board, the Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation decisions. We refer to this non-binding advisory vote as the “say-on-pay”“say-on-pay” vote. The “say-on-pay”“say-on-pay” vote is required to be offered to our stockholders at least once every three years. In 2017, our stockholders recommended we provide them with the opportunity to provide their “say-on-pay”“say-on-pay” vote each year, and our Board has accepted that recommendation. The Board is committed to corporate governance best practices and recognizes the significant interest of stockholders in executive compensation matters. As discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Compensation Committee believes our current executive compensation program directly links executive compensation to our performance and aligns the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders. In addition, our compensation philosophy places more emphasis on variable elements of compensation (such as annual cash bonuses and equity-based compensation) than fixed remuneration. For example, a significant portion of our executive compensation is based on the Company’s achievement of predetermined performance-based financial targets. Our executives also receive equity incentive awards to better link their compensation to the Company’s performance. We encourage you to read our Compensation Discussion and Analysis contained in this proxy statement for a more detailed discussion of our compensation policies and procedures. Our stockholders have the opportunity to vote for, against or abstain from voting on the following resolution: “Resolved, that the stockholders approve the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC (which includes the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and any related material disclosed in this proxy statement).” The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person (virtually) or by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote thereon is required to approve this resolution. The above-referenced disclosures appear at pages 30-6726-57 of this proxy statement.   THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR “FOR” APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF THE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AS DISCLOSED PURSUANT TO THE COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE RULES OF THE SEC (WHICH INCLUDES THE COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, THE COMPENSATION TABLES AND ANY RELATED MATERIAL DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT)   LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP.  •  2022 Proxy Statement2021 PROXY STATEMENT 79 69     PROXY STATEMENT PROXY STATEMENT —— PROXY AND VOTING INFORMATION Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) has provided you with these proxy materials in connection with its solicitation of proxies to be voted at the annual meeting of stockholders.
