Item 8.01

Other Events

On December 5, 2022, Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) issued a press release announcing its intention to offer (the “Offering”) $500 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2027 (the “Notes”) in a private placement to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company also expects to grant the initial purchasers of the Notes an option to purchase up to an additional $75 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes for settlement within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the Notes are initially issued.

The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the Offering to pay the cost of the convertible note hedge transactions described below (after such cost is partially offset by the proceeds to the Company from the warrant transactions described below). The Company expects to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the Offering to (i) redeem all of Marriot Ownership Resorts, Inc.’s outstanding 6.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Secured Notes”) at a redemption price equal to 103.063% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, (ii) repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility, (iii) repurchase up to $55 million in value of its shares of common stock pursuant to its existing share repurchase program concurrently with the pricing of this offering in privately negotiated transactions effected through one or more of the initial purchasers and/or their respective affiliates, as agent and (iv) pay fees, premiums and expenses in connection with the foregoing. This Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the 2025 Secured Notes.

In connection with the pricing of the Notes, the Company expects to enter into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers of the Notes, their respective affiliates and/or other financial institutions (the “hedge counterparties”). The Company also expects to enter into warrant transactions with the hedge counterparties.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

No Offer or Solicitation

This communication is for informational purposes only and is not intended to and does not constitute an offer to buy, nor a solicitation of an offer to sell, subscribe for or buy any securities or the solicitation of any vote or approval in any jurisdiction pursuant to or in connection with the proposed transactions or otherwise, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act and otherwise in accordance with applicable law.
