Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Indenture and Notes
On September 18, 2025, Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc. (the "Issuer"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation ("MVW" or the "Company"), entered into an Indenture (the "Indenture"), by and among the Issuer, the guarantors party thereto and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, in connection with the issuance and sale by the Issuer to Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as the representative of the several initial purchasers (the "Initial Purchasers"), and the other Initial Purchasers of $575 million aggregate principal amount of the Issuer's 6.500% Senior Notes due 2033 (the "Notes").
The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the Notes, together with cash on hand, (i) for the repayment of $575 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Issuer's 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due at or prior to maturity on January 15, 2026 (the "2026 Convertible Notes") (provided, that during the period between the closing of the offering of the Notes and the maturity date of the 2026 Convertible Notes, the Issuer intends to use such net proceeds to repay borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and/or invest in cash equivalent securities) and (ii) to pay transaction expenses and fees in connection with the foregoing.
The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 6.500% per year, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on April 1, 2026. The Notes will mature on October 1, 2033.
The Notes will initially be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by MVW and each of MVW's subsidiaries that guarantees the Corporate Credit Facility (as defined below), and, in the future, by each of MVW's subsidiaries (other than receivables subsidiaries or foreign subsidiaries) that becomes a borrower or a guarantor under a credit facility or other capital markets debt securities of the Issuer or any guarantor of the Notes. "Corporate Credit Facility" means MVW's corporate credit facility consisting of (i) a $800 million seven-year Term Loan Credit Facility, (ii) a $800 million five-year Revolving Credit Facility and (iii) a $450 million Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Facility, the proceeds of which may only be used to finance (or reimburse cash used for) any redemption or repurchase of the 2026 Convertible Notes. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Facility was terminated.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer and the guarantors thereof, rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the Issuer's and the guarantors' existing and future senior indebtedness (including borrowings under the Corporate Credit Facility and the Issuer's or Company's outstanding senior notes and convertible notes), will be senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of the Issuer and the guarantors, are effectively junior to all of the Issuer's and the guarantors' existing and future secured indebtedness (including under the Corporate Credit Facility) to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness, and are structurally subordinated to any existing and future obligations of any of MVW's subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes.
Prior to October 1, 2028, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus a "make-whole" premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed to, but not including, the date of redemption. Additionally, prior to October 1, 2028, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.500% of the principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed to, but not including, the date of redemption. On or after October 1, 2028, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on October 1 of the years indicated below:
