The Board's recommendations are set forth after the description of each item in this proxy statement. In summary, the Board recommends a vote: . FOR election of the nominated directors (see Item 1 on page 8)9); . FOR ratification of the appointmentrestatement of Arthur Andersen LLP asthe Marriott International, Inc. 1998 Comprehensive Stock and Cash Incentive Plan, including an increase of 9 million shares of the Company's independent auditorsClass A common stock authorized for fiscal 1999issuance (see Item 2 on page 25)28); . FOR approval of amendingAGAINST the Company's certificate of incorporation to reflect the elimination of one of the two classes of common stock, and authorization to file a restated certificate of incorporation to embody this amendmentshareholder proposal regarding cumulative voting (see Item 3 on page 26); 34). FOR approval. AGAINST the shareholder proposal to set a goal of amendingestablishing a Board of Directors with at least two-thirds of its members being "independent directors" as defined in the Company's certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Class A common stock to 800 millionshareholder proposal (see Item 4 on page 27); and35). . AGAINST approvalthe shareholder proposal to establish a policy providing for a transition to a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee composed entirely of "independent directors" as defined in the shareholder proposal (see Item 5 on page 28)36). . AGAINST the shareholder proposal to create a committee of independent directors to prepare a report describing risks to shareholders of operating and/or franchising hotels in Myanmar (see Item 6 on page 37). . AGAINST the shareholder proposal to adopt, implement and enforce a workforce code of conduct based on the International Labor Organization's Conventions on workplace human rights (see Item 7 on page 39). . AGAINST the shareholder proposal to adopt a policy that in the future independent accountants will provide only audit services to the Company and no other services (see Item 8 on page 41). Unless you give other instructions on your proxy card, the persons named as proxy holders on the proxy card will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors. With respect to any other matter that properly comes before the meeting, the proxy holders will vote as recommended by the Board of Directors or, if no recommendation is given, in their own discretion. 2 What vote is required to approve each item? In the election of directors, the four nominees who receive the highest number of "FOR" votes will be elected. A "WITHHELD" vote does not affect the election of directors. For Items 1, 2 and 5,each other item, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the item will be required for approval. A properly executed proxy marked "ABSTAIN" with respect to any item will not be voted on that item, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.the number of shares represented and entitled to vote. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a negative vote. For Item 3, the approval of amending the certificate of incorporation of the Company to reflect the elimination of one of the two classes of common stock, and authorization to file a restated certificate of incorporation to embody this amendment, and Item 4, the approval of amending the certification of incorporation of the Company to increase the number of authorized shares of Class A common stock to 800 million, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A common stock outstanding on the record date will be required for approval. In addition, the amendment of certain sections of the Company's certificate of incorporation (the "Higher Vote Sections") requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 2/3 of the voting power of all shares of Class A common stock outstanding on the record date. If Item 3 receives the affirmative vote of the holders of 2/3 of the voting power of all shares of Class A common stock outstanding on the record date, then an amendment including the changes to the Higher Vote Sections will be effected. If Item 3 receives the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares of Class A common stock outstanding on the record date, but less than 2/3 of the voting power of all shares of Class A common stock outstanding on the record date, then an amendment excluding the changes to the Higher Vote Sections will be effected. However, the proposed amendment to the Higher Vote Sections consists solely of the deletion of references to the class of common stock that is no longer outstanding and that is proposed to be eliminated. Failure to remove these references will not have any practical effect. If you hold your shares in "street name" through a broker or other nominee, your broker or nominee may not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to some of the items to be acted upon. Thus, if you do not give your broker or nominee specific instructions, your shares may not be voted on those items and will not be counted in determining the number of shares necessary for approval for Items 1, 2 and 5.each item. Shares represented by such "broker non-votes" will, however, be counted in determining whether there is a quorum. 3 Who will count the vote?

Independent Auditors The Audit Committee recommended to the Board that Arthur Andersen LLP serve as our independent auditors for 2002. Before making its recommendation to the Board, the Audit Committee carefully considered Arthur Andersen's qualifications as our independent auditors. The Board approved the appointment on February 7, 2002. Although historically we have submitted the appointment of our independent auditors for shareholder approval, given the uncertainty and the pace of developments related to Arthur Andersen's recent challenges, the Board does not believe it is appropriate to seek shareholder approval of the appointment of Arthur Andersen at this time. The Audit Committee, however, will continue to closely monitor Arthur Andersen's response to its challenges and will consider the possibility that a change of independent auditors may be appropriate. Representatives of Arthur Andersen LLP are expected to be present at the annual meeting and are expected to be available to respond to questions. Report of the Audit Committee The Audit Committee reviews the Company's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process. The Company's independent auditors are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of our audited financial statements to generally accepted accounting principles. In this context, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and the independent auditors the Company's audited financial statements for the three fiscal years ended December 28, 2001. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees). In addition, the Audit Committee has received from the independent auditors the written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) and discussed with them their independence from the Company and its management. Finally, the Audit Committee has considered whether the independent auditors provision of non-audit services to the Company is compatible with the auditors' independence. Relying on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board has approved, that the Company's audited financial statements for the three fiscal years ended December 28, 2001 be included in the Company's Annual Report on SEC Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2001, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The principles include building a strong relationship between shareholder return and executive compensation, providing incentives to achieve both short and long-term goals, and providing an overall level of remuneration which is competitive and reflective of performance. The Committee met fivefour times during 1998.2001. The Chief Executive Officer and other senior executive officers are not present at the meetings unless requested by the Committee. Compensation Philosophy and Programs In administering senior executive officer compensation, theThe Committee's objective is to establish a total paycompensation program for the Company that appropriately balances compensation costs with salaries and incentives sufficient to retain and motivate key executives. Senior human resources management of the Company presents proposals and recommendations on senior executive officer compensation to the Committee for their review and evaluation. To establish compensation targetslevels, the Committee uses data provided by the Company that is obtained from independent consultants. The data reflects compensation practices with companies of approximately Marriott's size (the comparison group) who participate in a variety of compensation surveys. The Committee believes that targeting compensation at a level comparable tobetween median and the 75/th percentile of other large companies appropriately reflects the conditions of labor market for Company executives. The Committee establishes target cash compensation levels (base salary plus target bonus) at the median level of cash compensation for the comparison group. The Committee establishes long-term incentive levels on the average of two-year median long-term incentive values for the comparison group. Companies in the comparison group may be included in the S&P Lodging-HotelsHotel/Motel Index used in the shareholder return performance graphchart included in this Proxy Statement, althoughStatement; however, the comparison group is not made up exclusively of companies used in that Index. As the Company is comprised of both lodging and service lines of businesses and also recruits senior executives from outside the hospitality industry, the Committee believes that the broad-based comparison group is a more appropriate basis for establishing comparable pay programs. / Base Salary The Company has an executive compensation salary structure approved by the Committee, which includes salary ranges established around a salary grade midpoint. Each position's salary grade range and target bonus opportunity areis established based on the median leveltargeted levels of total cash compensation for similar positions in the survey data. Actual base salaries are set within the prescribed salary range, based on a subjective assessment of factors including tenure, experience, and individual performance. This assessment is not subject to weightings or formulas. Individual annual salary increases reflect the position within the salary range, the merit increase guidelines established by the Company, and individual performance over the prior year. The Committee establishes merit increase guidelines based on survey information of annual salary increase budgets for the comparison group, along with an assessment of the Company's labor costs for management employees. Annual Cash Incentives The Company has established the 1998 Comprehensive Stock and Cash Incentive Plan, which is focused on financial objectives. In addition, the Company maintains the Executive Officer Individual 18 Performance Plan, which is focused on human resource and other business requirements, to help motivate the attainment of annual objectives. 21 Under each plan, goals and specific objectives are established for a minimum level, a target level, and a maximum level of performance. Senior human resources management of the Company provided the Committee with recommended individual performance objectives for the Chief Executive Officer and each of the other named executives for the Committee's review and input. For each objective, actual performance is measured against these levels in order to determine the actual payment. No payment is made if performance fails to meet the minimum level for a particular objective. The 19982001 incentive plans for the Chief Executive Officer and other senior executive officers included objectives related to Company financial performance, individual performance, human resource goals, customer satisfaction, and lodging growth objectives. Stock Incentives The Committee believes that stock ownership by senior executive management is essential for aligning management's interest with that of shareholders. To emphasize this principle, in February 1999, the Company established stock ownership guidelines for the Company's senior management. The guidelines require the top 65 executives in the Company to own a multiple of their individual salary grade midpoint in Company stock. Executives will have five years in which to meet this goal. The majority of the executives have met their goals. The Company offers several stock-based incentive programs under the Company's 1998 Comprehensive Stock and Cash Incentive Plan. Through deferredgrants stock incentive awards, approximately 3,500 managers, including the Chief Executive Officer and other senior executive officers, receive an award of shares equal in value to 20% of their annual cash bonus. The award is distributed ratably over a ten-year period or at retirement if so elected by certain levels of management, and is contingent upon continued employment. In addition, the Company also makes grants of stock options. Stock options areas the primary long-term incentive of the Company. The number of option shares subject to options granted to each executive officer is related to a guideline number established for each eligible salary grade or level based on the survey data described above. The Committee establishes a competitive range of share awards around the guideline award,per eligible position, and individual awards are determined based on a subjective assessment of individual performance, contribution and future potential. Under the terms of the Company's 1998 Comprehensive Stock and Cash Incentive Plan, awards of restricted stock and deferred stock contracts are also made to key management employees. These awards tend to be relatively infrequent and are used to recognize special performance of key executives or as an employment inducement. The Company considers a number of factors when determining stock grants such as individual performance, the size of competitive long-term awards, key contributions, and previous share grants. 1998In January 2001, sixteen senior executives, including Mr. Marriott, received a grant of Restricted Stock that was subject to release from restrictions based on the achievement of performance goals related to the Company's Return on Invested Capital. Due to extreme changes in the economic environment and our industry, these grants were later cancelled. 2001 Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and NamedReported Executive Officers The Committee reviewed the 19982001 salaries for J.W. Marriott, Jr., and all other executive officers in November 1997.February 2001. Mr. Marriott received a 5.5% increase inMarriott's base pay on January 3, 1998, which resultedwas maintained at $1,000,000, resulting in his annualno base pay rate increasing to $950,000.increase. This salary is belowwithin the median range for the comparison group. The other fourIn light of the economic events following September 2001, Mr. Marriott elected to forgo his salary for the fourth quarter of 2001. Mr. Shaw received a 5.4% base salary increase, Mr. Ryan a 5.3% increase, Mr. Sullivan a 9.6% increase, and Mr. Sorenson a 14.4% increase. All salary increases for the named senior executive officers in the Summary Compensation Table in this Proxy Statement received base salary increases ranging from 4.5%were made to 6.2%, effective January 3, 1998. As a group, the other named senior executive officers have base salaries thatbetter approximate the median of the comparison group. 1922 Under the 1998 Comprehensive Stock and Cash Incentive Plan, Mr. Marriott's maximum annual incentive opportunity as a percentage of base salary was 55%75% based on attaining a corporate cash flow objective and 22% related toan earnings per share.share objective. Under the Executive Officer Individual Performance Plan, his maximum opportunity was 22%25% related to individual objectives, 12.5% on growth objectives, and 11%12.5% related to customer satisfaction. In 1998, the Company exceeded the maximum level of performance for both corporate cash flow and earnings per share objectives.For 2001, Mr. Marriott accomplishedelected to forgo his bonus in light of the majorityeconomic events of his individual objectives, including performance for customer satisfaction which met the target level (but was below the maximum level). The aggregate target level of bonus award for Mr. Marriott was 80% and the maximum level of bonus award was equal to 110% of eligible fiscal year salary. The total award payment of $1,001,300 corresponded to 105.4% of salary. Mr. Marriott's annual cash incentive payment was below the median for the comparison group. From a total cash compensation perspective (base plus bonus), his annual compensation is below the median for the comparison group. In addition, Mr. Marriott received 6,846 shares of Deferred Bonus Stock, which was equal in value to 20% of his bonus.September 2001. The other named senior executive officers are also participants in the 1998 Comprehensive Stock and Cash Incentive Plan. Performance measuresMeasures utilized include Company and, in some cases, business-group cash flow, customer satisfaction, lodging rooms growth objectives and individual objectives. The aggregate target payments for these other named executives were set at 50%60% to 60%80% of salary and the maximum aggregate payments from 80%90% to 90%110% of salary. Actual total award payments for 19982001 ranged from 75.5%25% to 85.5%40% of salary. In recognition ofBased on outstanding contributions during the year, and to continue to offer a competitive total compensation program, several of the other named executives received restricted stock awards in 1998. Mr. Shaw received a restricteddeferred stock grantcontract in 2001 of 40,00050,000 shares andvesting in equal annual installments over 5 years, assuming continued employment. Mr. Sullivan received a restricted stock grant in 2001 of 25,000 shares.30,000 shares, and Mr. Sorenson received a restricted stock grant in 2001 of 35,000 shares, each subject to release from restrictions in equal annual amounts over 5 years, assuming continued employment. In 1998,2001, stock option grants were made to Mr. Marriott and the other named executive officers. Mr. Marriott received an option in February 2001 to acquire 192,000350,000 shares, in November 1998 that vestswith vesting over four years. This grant, as well as similar grants to the other named executive officers, was all at thewithin guideline levelranges established for their specific salary grade. In February 1997, special supplemental option grants were made to Mr. Marriott and the other named executive officers to acquire from 80,000 to 150,000 shares, which will vest in February 2005. The options may vest earlier at the end of year 2000, 2001, and 2002 if Marriott International's stock price appreciation is at or above the 75th percentile of the S&P 500. The primary objective of these grants is to focus executive management on opportunities for significant stock price appreciation. If the options vest at the end of the third year, the total compensation paid to the senior management team for that period of time will approximate the 75th percentile of compensation paid to executives in similar positions in other high performing companies. Impact of Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) Under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, provisions were added to the Internal Revenue Code under Section 162(m) that limit the tax deduction for compensation expense in excess of one million dollars paid to each of certain executive officers. However, performance-based compensation can be excluded from the limit so long as it meets certain requirements. The Committee believes the 1998 Comprehensive Stock and Cash Incentive Plan satisfies the requirements for exemption under the Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). Payments made under this 20 Plan qualify as performance-based compensation and constitute the majority of aggregate annual incentive paymentamounts payable for Mr. Marriott and all other named executive officers. Although theThe Executive Officer Individual Performance Plan does not meet the requirementsrequirement necessary for exemption as performance-based compensation,compensation; however, the Committee believes that incentives for performance relative to certain Company objectives, such as personnel planning, customer satisfaction and other non- financialnon-financial business requirements are relevant and appropriate. For 1998,2001, the annual salary plus the bonus paid to Mr. Marriott and the other named executive officers were in each case less than one million dollars after allowing for amounts deferred into the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. The Committee reserves the right to pay non-deductible compensation if it considers that to be in the best interest of the shareholders and the Company. The stock option awards made under the terms of the 1998 Comprehensive Stock and Cash Incentive Plan are exempt as performance-based compensation for purposes of calculating the one million-dollar limit. Due to the Company's focus on performance-based compensation plans and continued deferral of compensation by certain executive officers, the Committee expects to continue to qualify mostthat the vast majority of compensation paid to the group aswill be tax deductible. 23 Summary The Compensation Policy Committee believes that the compensation programs of the Company are well structured to encourage attainment of objectives and foster a shareholder perspective in management. The Committee feels that the awards made in 19982001 were competitive and appropriate and serve shareholders' long-term interest.

Transactions with Host Marriott Corporation On October 8,In 1993, Old Marriott was spun off as a separate public company from its former parent company, Marriott Corporation (which changed its name to Host Marriott Corporation) ("Host Marriott"). Host Marriott retained the ownership of lodging properties and certain other assets. Old Marriott continued the businesses of lodging management, senior living services, distribution services and certain other businesses. Host Marriott reorganized its business operations in 1998 to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"); acquired a portfolio of luxury hotels for $1.5 billion; and completed partnership roll-ups representing new hotel property acquisitions approximating $650 million; and divested newly created lease and sublease interests in substantially all of Host Marriott's lodging properties, including the properties in its newly acquired portfolio. Effective as of January 1, 2001, a Host Marriott taxable subsidiary reacquired the lease and sublease interests that it had divested as part of the 1998 REIT conversion. In December 2000, we acquired, through an unconsolidated joint venture (the "Courtyard Joint Venture") with an affiliate of Host Marriott, 120 Courtyard by Marriott hotels. The acquisition was made pursuant to a settlement of litigation in which we, Host Marriott, and certain of our and their subsidiaries and affiliates were defendants. The joint venture was financed with approximately $200 million in mezzanine debt loaned to the joint venture by us and with equity contributed in equal shares by us and by Host Marriott. Our total investment in the joint venture, including the mezzanine debt, is approximately $300 million. One of our subsidiaries manages these 120 hotels under long-term agreements. In recognition of the significant changes in the lodging industry over the last ten years and the age of our agreements with Host Marriott, many provisions of which predate our 1993 Spin-Off, we and Host Marriott concluded that we could mutually enhance the long term strength and growth of both companies by updating our existing relationship. Accordingly, we are currently negotiating certain changes to our management agreements for Host Marriott-owned hotels. The modifications under discussion would, if made, be effective as of the beginning of our 2002 fiscal year and would remain subject to the consent of various lenders to the properties and other third parties. If made, these changes would, among other things, . Provide Host Marriott with additional approval rights over budgets and capital expenditures; . Extend the effective management agreement termination dates for several hotels; 26 . Expand the pool of hotels that Host Marriott could sell with franchise agreements to one of our approved franchisees and revise the method of determining the number of hotels that may be sold without a management agreement or franchise agreement; . Lower the incentive management fees payable to us by amounts dependent in part on underlying hotel profitability at eight hotels; . Reduce certain expenses to the properties and lower Host Marriott's working capital requirements; . Confirm that we and our affiliates may earn a profit (in addition to what we earn through management fees) on certain transactions relating to Host Marriott-owned properties, and establish the specific conditions under which we may profit on future transactions; and . Terminate our existing right to purchase up to 20 percent of Host Marriott's outstanding common stock upon certain changes of control and clarify our rights in each of our management agreements to prevent either a sale of the hotel to our major competitors or specified changes in control of Host Marriott involving our major competitors. We cannot assure you that these negotiations will be successful, that the changes will be substantially as we have described above, or that the consents necessary to implement these changes will be obtained. The monetary effect of the anticipated changes will depend on future events such as the operating results of the hotels. We do not expect these modifications to have a material financial impact on us. At July 31, 1998,February 28, 2002, J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott and their respective immediate family members beneficially owned approximately 6.505.9 percent and 6.476.9 percent, respectively, of the common stock of Host Marriott. J.W. Marriott, Jr. is presently a director of Host Marriott, with a term expiring in May 2002, but is not standing for reelection. Richard E. Marriott, who has announced his intention to resign from our Board of Directors in May 2002, is the Chairman of the Board of Host Marriott, and J.W. Marriott, Jr. is a director of Host Marriott.

The principal terms of Old Marriott common stock outstanding on March 27, 1998. Atthe 2002 Plan, including changes to the 1998 annual meetingPlan are summarized below. Shares Available under the Plan The 1998 Plan currently provides for the issuance of shareholders of the Company, shareholders voted on whether to retain the two classes of common stock of the Company that had been authorized and issued as part of the Spinoff. As a result of this shareholder vote, on May 21, 1998, the Board of Directors effected the conversion of each outstanding share of the Company's common stock into one share71 million shares of the Company's Class A common stock. AtApproximately 36.7 million shares of the same time,original share authorization for the 1998 Plan were used to convert then-existing awards under Old Marriott's 1996 Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan following the Spin-Off, leaving approximately 19.3 million shares available for new awards since March 28, 1998. During 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 awards were granted with respect to approximately 7.4 million shares, 7.8 million shares, 6.0 million shares, 5.8 million shares, and 8.0 million shares, respectively, under the 1998 Plan. The 2002 Plan provides that no employee will be eligible to receive awards covering more than 750,000 shares of Common Stock (up from 500,000 under the 1998 Plan) in any one fiscal year (excluding for this purpose any conversion awards in connection with the Spin-Off described below). The number of shares available and subject to outstanding awards, as well as this limitation will be appropriately adjusted by the Compensation Policy Committee in the event of any change in capitalization, such as a stock split, or a corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, separation, including a spinoff or other distribution of stock or property of the Company, any reorganization (whether or not taxable) or any partial or complete liquidation of the Company. The 1998 Plan required that no more than 20% of the shares available will be issued with respect to awards other than stock options and non-employee director awards. The 2002 Plan removes this restriction to allow greater flexibility for the Compensation Policy Committee to design competitive compensation packages for employees. Administration The 2002 Plan is administered by the Compensation Policy Committee appointed by the Board pledged to take the necessary action to amend the Company's certificate of incorporation to reflect the eliminationDirectors of the dual class common stock structure. Purpose. The purposeCompany, the members of Item 3 is: . to approve amending the Company's certificate of incorporation to reflect the elimination of onewhich are non-employee directors of the two classesCompany. The 29 Compensation Policy Committee has broad discretion to determine the employees eligible for awards and the type of common stock;awards to be granted and . to authorizeinterpret the filing of a restated certificate of incorporation embodying this amendment. Article Fourthprovisions of the Company's certificate2002 Plan. The 2002 Plan provides that, upon a change in control of incorporation sets forth the authorized capitalCompany, the Compensation Policy Committee or the Board will provide for the substitution, vesting, distribution, exercise, cancellation or exchange for value of the outstanding awards. Eligibility Employees of the Company (including employees who are also members of the Board) are eligible to participate in the 2002 Plan. The Compensation Policy Committee has discretion to determine which employees will receive awards. Non-employee directors of the Company are eligible solely for purposes of receiving certain director stock awards and making deferral elections with respect to director fees. In addition, employees and non-employee directors of the Company, and describescertain individuals who are former employees of the rightsCompany and preferences thereof. Article Fourthits predecessors, received certain conversion awards in connection with the Spin-Off. Type of Awards Stock Option Awards. Under the 2002 Plan, options may be granted to employees that either qualify or do not qualify (nonqualified awards) for tax treatment as "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. All outstanding stock option awards under the 2002 Plan are nonqualified. The option price may not be less than 100 percent of the fair market value of Class A common stock on the date the option is granted. The 2002 Plan prohibits repricing of option awards. Approximately 3,000 employees are eligible for the management stock option awards program. Each option may have a term of up to 15 years, as determined by the Compensation Policy Committee. Since February 2001, stock options have been issued with a 10-year term; stock options issued prior to that have 15-year terms. If an optionee ceases to be an employee or goes on leave of absence for more than 12 months (except in the case of a leave approved by the Compensation Policy Committee) while holding an exercisable option, the option will terminate if not exercised within the following three months. Nonqualified options granted to optionees who subsequently become "approved retirees" (termination of employment by reason of permanent disability or retirement with approval from the Compensation Policy Committee after 20 years of service or after attaining age 55 with 10 years of service and while a noncompetition agreement is honored) will continue to vest and will not expire until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the option in accordance with its original term or (ii) five years from the date of termination of employment. (Prior to amendment, the 1998 Plan provided one year for exercise of a vested option by an employee who terminated by reason of permanent disability.) If an optionee dies while employed by the Company more than one year after the date the options are granted, the remaining options may be exercised until the earlier of the expiration date for such options or one year after the optionee's death. If an optionee dies while an approved retiree, all the optionee's options become fully vested and may be exercised until the earlier of the expiration date for such options or one year after the optionee's death. If an optionee who is not an approved retiree dies after termination of employment, the optionee's remaining options may be exercised to the same extent and during the same period that the optionee could have exercised the options if the optionee had not died. Restricted Stock Awards. The 2002 Plan provides that there are 800 million authorizedadditional compensation incentives to key employees in the form of shares of commonrestricted stock consisting of 300 million authorizedthe Company. Approximately 50 key employees are eligible to receive restricted stock awards based on the Compensation Policy Committee's 30 guidelines. Delivery of shares is subject to the lapse of a restriction period, continued employment with the Company and satisfaction of such other requirements as may be imposed by the Compensation Policy Committee, including, but not limited to, achievement of specific performance objectives of the Company, the business unit or the individual. A percentage of the shares subject to an award of restricted stock, as determined by the Compensation Policy Committee, may be released from restriction following an employee's retirement with the Committee's approval at or beyond age 55 with 10 years of service or with 20 years of service. Shares are also released from restriction upon the employee's death or permanent disability. Deferred Stock Awards. Deferred shares of Class A common stock may be granted to employees annually as Deferred Stock Bonus Awards or Deferred Stock Agreements. The Compensation Policy Committee decided to suspend Deferred Stock Bonus Awards indefinitely commencing with the 2001 fiscal year. Approximately 85 key employees are eligible for Deferred Stock Agreements. Deferred Stock Bonus Awards previously granted represented a part of the annual performance bonus awards to employees. Eligible award recipients were able to elect either a current award or a deferred award. A current award is distributed in 10 annual installments commencing one year after the award is granted. Any undistributed shares subject to a current award are forfeited and 500the award terminated if the employee's employment with the Company is terminated for any reason other than termination of employment at or beyond age 55 with 10 years of service, termination of employment after 20 years of service with retirement approval from the Compensation Policy Committee, permanent disability or death. Any undistributed shares not subject to forfeiture continue to be paid to the employee or the employee's beneficiary under the distribution schedule that would have applied to those shares if the employee had not terminated employment, or over such shorter period as the Compensation Policy Committee may determine. A deferred award will be distributed to the recipient, as elected by such recipient, either in a lump sum or in up to 10 installments beginning the January following termination of employment. Deferred award shares contingently vest pro rata in annual installments commencing one year after the award is granted to the employee, and continuing on each January 2 thereafter until the expiration of a 10-year period from the commencement date. All shares subject to the deferred award will vest upon termination of employment after reaching age 55 with 10 years of service, termination of employment after 20 years of service with retirement approval from the Compensation Policy Committee, permanent disability or death. Vesting will stop when employment terminates for any other reason. Vested deferred shares awarded pursuant to a Deferred Stock Agreement are distributed in 10 consecutive annual installments or over such shorter period as the Compensation Policy Committee may direct. The distribution will commence in the January following the date the employee retires or becomes permanently disabled or otherwise ceases to be an employee of the Company. Under some awards, distribution is deferred to age 65 following cessation of employment. Shares vest contingently over a specified term or in pro rata annual installments until age 65. A percentage of the shares subject to a Deferred Stock Agreement, as determined by the Compensation Policy Committee, will vest following an employee's retirement with the Committee's approval at or beyond age 55 with 10 years of service or with 20 years of service. Shares also vest upon the employee's death or permanent disability. Special Recognition Stock Awards. The 2002 Plan provides for awards designed to provide recognition of employee performance for special efforts on behalf of the Company. While all full-time, nonunion employees will be eligible, actual awards are limited in the discretion of the Compensation Policy Committee. 31 Other Awards. The Compensation Policy Committee may grant to employees any other awards denominated or payable in cash, Class A common stock, a Class A common stock equivalent or appreciation unit or security convertible into Class A common stock or in any combination of these forms. The other share-based awards may be issued alone or in tandem with other awards and made subject to any terms and conditions as determined by the Compensation Policy Committee and specified in the award agreements. The Compensation Policy Committee also may grant cash performance-based awards not based on Class A common stock on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. No individual may receive a payment with respect to a cash performance-based award in excess of $4 million authorizedin any calendar year. Performance Measures. In order to comply with the requirements for exclusion from the limit on the tax deduction of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Compensation Policy Committee may condition the grant or payment of awards to employees on the attainment of performance objectives. Under the 1998 Plan, the performance objectives are measured by one or more of the following factors regarding the Company or the applicable business unit: (i) consolidated cash flows, (ii) consolidated financial reported earnings, (iii) consolidated economic earnings, (iv) earnings per share of Class A common stock, (v) business unit financial reported earnings, (vi) business unit economic earnings, (vii) business unit cash flow, and (viii) appreciation in the price of the Company's Class A common stock, considered alone or as measured against the performance of a group of companies approved by the Compensation Policy Committee. The 2002 Plan adds to this list performance objectives measured by one or more of the following factors: (i) return on invested capital, (ii) consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), and (iii) business unit EBITDA. Directors' Stock Awards and Fee Deferral Elections. The Board may, after each annual meeting of the shareholders, designate non-employee directors who will receive awards of deferred shares of Class A common stock. The awards are fully vested when granted. The awards are distributed in shares of Class A common stock and 10 million authorized sharesover a ten-year period following retirement from the Board. Non-employee directors are directors who are not full-time, salaried employees of preferred stock. Article Fourth is proposed to be amended to eliminate the authorizationCompany. The 2002 Plan also provides for the classdeferral of fees for non-employee directors at their election. The election must be made prior to an Annual Meeting and remains in effect until the next Annual Meeting. The amounts deferred are credited, as of the date of deferral, to a bookkeeping account as stock units. The number of stock units credited to the account is equal to the fee amount divided by the per share value of Class A common stock referredon the date the fee amount would have been paid. The stock units are fully vested when credited to the accounts. The accounts are credited with additional stock units as the "common stock", leavingof each dividend payment date on the Class A common stock, asto reflect the only authorized classdividend payment payable on shares of Class A common stock. Upon a non-employee director's resignation, retirement or death (or if the non-employee director is not re-elected), the stock of the Company. Likewise, the provisionsunits in the existing certificate of incorporation setting forth the rights and preferences of the two classes of common stock are proposed todirector's account will be deleted from Article Fourth, as they are no longer necessary. The text of Article Fourth as it is proposed to be amended by Item 3 (and by Item 4) is attached as Annex A. In addition to the changes to Article Fourth described above, the only other proposed change to the existing certificate of incorporation is to delete references to the second class of common stock where they appear throughout the certificate of incorporation. A vote for Item 3 is also a vote for the filing of a restated certificate of incorporation embodying the amendments proposedpaid in Item 3. Shareholders are reminded that share certificates representing common stock are automatically deemed to represent the samean equal number of shares of Class A common stock and do not needin a lump sum or in equal annual installments over a period as elected by the director.

The option becomes fully vested on 32 the date of the next Annual Meeting. The exercise price is the fair market value of a restated certificate of incorporation embodying this amendment. 26 ITEM 4--APPROVAL OF AMENDING THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK TO 800 MILLION. Background. As described above under Item 3, as a result of a vote of the Company's shareholders at the 1998 annual meeting of shareholders, on May 21, 1998, the Board of Directors effected the conversion of each outstanding share of the Company's common stock into one share of the Company's Class A common stock. Purpose. The purposestock on the date of Item 4 isgrant. Non-employee directors are not eligible for other stock awards. Conversion Awards. Pursuant to approve amendingagreements entered into in connection with the Company's certificate of incorporation to increaseSpin-Off, certain conversion awards were made under the number of authorized1998 Plan in shares of Class A common stock, to 800 million. Article Fourthin replacement of the Company's certificate of incorporation provides that, upon the conversion of all shares of common stock into shares of Class A common stock, the number of authorizedcertain awards denominated in shares of Class A common stock of Old Marriott outstanding on the Company shall be 800 million (from 300 million authorized shares prioreffective date of the Spin-Off and held by individuals who were not employees of Old Marriott after the Spin-Off. These conversion awards are administered under the 2002 Plan. The awards are subject to the conversion),terms and conditions substantially similar to those governing the numberawards as they were in effect before the Spin-Off. Approximately 4,000 individuals, including ten directors, received conversion awards under the 1998 Plan, covering a total of authorized shares of common stock of the Company shall be zero (from 500approximately 36.7 million authorized shares prior to the conversion). The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that shareholder approval is required to increase the authorized number of shares of a class of common stock. To ensure compliance with Delaware law, the Company is seeking shareholder approval for this increase in authorized shares of Class A common stock. However, if Item 3Federal Income Tax Consequences. The following is approveda brief description of the federal income tax consequences generally arising with respect to stock option awards that may be granted under the 2002 Plan. This discussion is intended for the information of shareholders considering how to vote at the Annual Meeting and not as tax guidance to participants in the 2002 Plan. To the extent that any option does not satisfy the requirements for an incentive stock option, it will be treated as a nonqualified stock option. An option holder generally will not recognize income for federal income tax purposes at the time a nonqualified stock option is granted and generally will recognize ordinary income upon exercise of a nonqualified stock option in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Class A common stock on the exercise date and the second classexercise price. When shares acquired upon exercise of commona nonqualified stock is eliminated as described above, the total number of authorized shares of common stockoption are sold or otherwise disposed of, the Companyoption holder will not increase or decrease, but will remain at 800 millionrecognize gain (or loss) equal to the difference between the amount realized and the option holder's tax basis in the shares. The text of Article Fourth as it is proposed to be amended by Item 4 (and Item 3) is attached as Annex A. At March 5, 1999, there were 247,078,029 issued and outstandingAn option holder's tax basis in shares of Class A common stock received upon exercise of a nonqualified stock option generally is the sum of the Company.exercise price paid and the ordinary income recognized as a result of exercising the nonqualified stock option. The conversionCompany will be entitled to a deduction for federal income tax purposes with respect to the exercise of a nonqualified stock option at the same time and in the same amount as ordinary income is recognized by the option holder. An option holder will not recognize ordinary taxable income upon the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option. However, the option holder may be subject to the alternative minimum tax upon exercise of an award that qualifies as an incentive stock option. Upon sale of the commonshares acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock into Class A commonoption, any gain recognized will be taxed as capital gain if such shares have been held for at least two years from the date the incentive stock in May 1998 resulted in a doublingoption was granted and at least one year from the date the shares were transferred to the option holder. Any sale or other disposition of the numbershares acquired upon exercise of outstandingan incentive stock option prior to the expiration of the holding period described in this paragraph is deemed a "disqualifying disposition" unless the option is exercised after the option holder's death by the option holder's estate or by the person who acquired the right to exercise the option by reason of the option holder's death. Upon a disqualifying disposition, an option holder will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the excess of the fair market value of shares on the date the option was exercised over the exercise price or (b) the excess of the amount realized upon such disposition over the exercise price. If the amount realized exceeds the fair market value of the shares on the date of the exercise, the excess will be treated as capital gain. An option holder's tax basis in shares of Class A common stock (there were approximately 128 million sharesreceived upon exercise of Class A common33 an incentive stock and an identical number of shares of common stock, issuedoption is equal to the exercise price paid. The Company will not be entitled to a deduction for federal income tax purposes at the Spinoff).time an incentive stock option is granted or exercised or, unless a disqualifying disposition has occurred, at the time the shares acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option are sold. If an option holder makes a disqualifying disposition, the Company will be entitled to take a deduction at the same time and in the same amount as the ordinary income recognized by the option holder. The Company has reserved 9,465,376 shares of Class A common stock for issuance upon conversionBoard recommends a vote FOR ratification of the Company's Liquid Yield Option Notes due 2011. The Company also has share issuance obligations underrestatement of the Marriott International, Inc. 1998 Comprehensive Stock and Cash Incentive Plan, (56including an increase of 9 million shares authorized for issuance; options for approximately 31.5 million shares were outstanding at December 31, 1998, of which options for approximately 19.1 million shares were exercisable), and under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan (5 million shares authorized for issuance). However, the Company has in the past, and plans to continue, using shares repurchased by the Company in the open market, rather than authorized but unissued shares, to satisfy its employee plan share requirements. The additional authorized shares of Class A common stock can be issuedauthorized for corporate purposes without further shareholder approval, unless such approval is required by applicable law or regulation. Althoughissuance under the Company currently has no plans to issue any significant amount of shares of Class A common stock (other than 2,081,962 shares to be issued in March 1999 as partial consideration for the Company's acquisition of Execustay Corporation), future purposes for issuances of the additional shares could include paying stock dividends, subdividing outstanding shares through stock splits, effecting acquisitions of other businesses or properties, securing additional financing for the Company through the issuance of additional shares of Class A common stock, and satisfying share issuance requirements under existing or future employee benefit plans (although the Company plans to continue its practice of using shares repurchased in the open market to satisfy these requirements for its existing plans). These purposes are no different than the purposes for which the originally authorized 800 million shares could be issued. 27 As with any share issuance, the issuance of additional shares of Class A common stock without further shareholder approval may, among other things, have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and on the equity of the present holders of Class A common stock and on their voting power. The Class A common stock has ten votes per share, while shares of common stock had one vote per share. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of amending the Company's certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Class A common stock to 800 million.1998 Plan. ITEM 5--SHAREHOLDER3--SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL TO ADOPT CUMULATIVE VOTING FOR ELECTION OF DIRECTORS A shareholder (Mrs.Mrs. Evelyn Y. Davis Editor,(Editor of Highlights and Lowlights, Watergate Office Building, 2600 Virginia Avenue, N.W.,NW, Suite 215, Washington, D.C. 20037), a shareholder who owns 400 shares of Company Class A common stock, has notified the Company of her intention to propose the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:Meeting of Shareholders: "RESOLVED: That the shareholdersstockholders of Marriott International, assembled in Annual Meeting in person and by proxy, hereby request the Board of Directors to take the necessary steps to provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors, which means each shareholderstockholder shall be entitled to as many votes as shall equal the number of shares he or she owns multiplied by the number of directors to be elected, and he or she may cast all of such votes for a single candidate, or any two or more of them as he or she may see fit." In support of the resolution, Mrs. Davis has submitted the following statement: "Many states have mandatory cumulative voting, so do National Banks. In addition, many corporations have adopted cumulative voting. Last year the owners of 33,321,030 shares, representing 165,618,800 votes, representing approximately 14.2% of the voting power18% of shares voting, voted for thisFOR my proposal." "If you AGREE, please mark your proxy FOR this resolution." Board Response The Board, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, have considered this proposal. The Board recommends that shareholders vote against it for the following reasons:reasons. Each director of the Company currently is elected by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company's shares. This permits the directors to administer the affairs of the Company for the benefit of all shareholders. The Board believes that cumulative voting is undesirable, because it is directed toward the election of one or more directors by a special group of shareholders. The shareholdersubset of shareholders or special group electing a director by cumulative voting may seek to have that director represent the shareholder'sthose shareholders' or group's special interest, rather than the interests of the shareholders as a whole. This partisanship among directors and voting on behalf of special interestsinterest voting could interfere with the effectiveness of the Board and could be contrary to the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. The majority of states, including Delaware, where the Company is incorporated, do not require cumulative voting. The Company's present method of electing directors is employed by over 88%90% of 34 companies listed in the Standard and Poor's 500 Index and by most companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Board believes that this method is appropriate to ensure that directors will represent all the shareholders, and not just a particular group. The Board recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal. 28ITEMS 4 AND 5-- SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN ATTRIBUTES OF INDIVIDUALS TO BE DIRECTORS OR MEMBERS OF THE NOMINATING AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE The Company received two separate but similar shareholder proposals from International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers' Pension Fund ("IBEW") and Massachusetts Laborers' Pension Benefit Fund. ITEM 4 IBEW (1125 15/th Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20005), a shareholder that owns 8,769 shares of Company Class A common stock, has notified the Company of its intention to propose the following resolution at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders: / "RESOLVED, that the shareholders of Marriott International, Inc. ("Company") request that the Company's Board of Directors set a goal of establishing a board of directors with at least two-thirds of its members being independent directors. The Board should pursue this goal and transition to an independent Board through its power to nominate candidates to stand for election by shareholders. For purposes of this resolution, a director would not be considered independent if he or she is currently or during the past five years has been: . Employed by the Company or an affiliate in an executive capacity; . Employed by a firm that is one of the Company's paid advisors or consultants; . Employed by a significant customer or supplier; . Employed by a tax-exempt organization that receives significant contributions from the Company; . Paid by the Company pursuant to any personal services contract with the Company; . Serving in an executive capacity or as a director of a corporation on which the Company's chairman or chief executive officer is a board member; or . Related to a member of management of the Company." In support of the resolution, IBEW has submitted the following statement: "The board of directors plays a critical role in determining a company's long-term success. A board helps meet the challenge of maximizing long-term corporate value through those roles attributed to it by law and regulation. A board serves as management monitor, working to assemble a well-qualified senior management team. In conjunction with senior management, a board contributes to the development and implementation of a corporation's competitive strategies, while also serving as the architect of an executive compensation plan that provides necessary incentives and rewards to accomplish long-term corporate success. The board of directors must operate independently of the corporation's chief executive officer and senior management if it is to fulfill its duty to hire, oversee, compensate, and, if necessary, replace management. Independence has been referred to as "a director's greatest virtue" (Robert Rock, 35 Chair of National Association of Corporate Directors, "Directors and Boards," Summer edition 1996) and we believe independent boards are better positioned to remove non-performing senior executives. "In order to best fulfill its responsibilities and ensure the corporation's long-term success, we believe that at least two-thirds of a board's members should be "independent" directors. The Company's Board of Directors as presently composed does not meet the two-thirds independence standard. Five of ten board members are not independent. Richard Marriott is related to a member of management. J.W. Marriott and Mr. Shaw are employed by the Company in an executive capacity. Dr. Henry Cheng Kar-Shun and members of his family, according to the Company's Proxy statement, "directly or indirectly owns or leases hotel properties that are operated by subsidiaries of the Company." Mr. Pearce serves as Vice Chairman of the Board of General Motors, on whose Board J.W. Marriott also serves. "As long-term shareholders, we believe an independent board best represents shareholders. Adoption of this resolution would encourage our company to work towards this goal. We urge you to support this resolution." ITEM 5 Massachusetts Laborers' Pension Fund (14 New England Executive Park, Suite 200, P.O. Box 4000, Burlington, Massachusetts 01803-0900), a shareholder that owns approximately 1,500 shares of Company Class A common stock, has notified the Company of its intention to propose the following resolution at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders: "RESOLVED, that the shareholders of Marriott International, Inc. ("Company") hereby request that the Company Board of Directors adopt an Independent Board Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Policy that provides for a transition to a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee composed entirely of independent directors as Committee openings occur." Massachusetts Laborers' Pension Fund included the same definition for determining who is considered an "independent director," as the definition of such term included in the proposal of the IBEW set forth above. In support of the resolution, Massachusetts Laborers' Pension Fund has submitted the following statement: "A Board of Director's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is charged with the role of selecting candidates for the corporation's board. The board of directors fulfills the vital function of hiring, monitoring, compensating and, when necessary, replacing senior management. It participates with and oversees management as it first develops and then executes the corporation's strategic plans. "The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee performs the important task of seeking out, interviewing and ultimately recommending new board nominees that will stand for election by the shareholders. The Board Nominating Committee should be composed entirely of directors independent of management who can take the necessary actions to seek, nominate, and present new director candidates to the shareholders. The definition of "independent" director advanced in the resolution will ensure that those members of our Company's Nominating Committee will be 36 totally independent of management and best able to undertake their responsibilities in developing an independent Board focused on the Company's long-term success. "Implementation of this resolution would strengthen the process by which director nominees are selected at our Company. At present, our Company's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee includes Mr. Harry Pearce. Mr. Pearce serves on the company's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, while at the same time, J. W. Marriott, Jr., the Company's CEO, serves on the compensation Committee of General Motors. Mr. Pearce is Vice Chairman of the Board of General Motors. "As long-term shareholders, we urge your support of this important corporate governance reform that we believe will contribute to the Company's long-term success." Board Response To Items 4 and 5 The Board, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, have considered these proposals. The Board recommends that shareholders vote against them for the following reasons. We strongly believe in the importance of a diverse and highly qualified board of directors. A sizable majority of the Board consists of persons who would satisfy any reasonable test of independence, including the definition used by the New York Stock Exchange. We note that there are only two Company employees on the Board of Directors and neither is on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. In addition, Mr. Pearce resigned as an executive officer of General Motors Corporation on May 29, 2001 and is no longer a board member of General Motors Corporation as of June 5, 2001. We have been well served by our present policy on board and committee membership, which selects nominees for election based on a variety of criteria, including overall business experience and specific expertise, and gives due consideration to any relationships with the Company. Any material relationships between the Company and any director are disclosed under Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Adoption of these proposals would unduly restrict the candidates available for service on the Board. The proposals also would limit consideration of candidates who have sound judgment, extensive experience, and a thorough knowledge of the operations of the Company. The proposals would, for example, apply to highly qualified persons simply because they are employed by companies that do business with us. The proposals could also inhibit us from obtaining services from another company simply because one of its employees is a current Company director. The Board believes that the Company's current policies regarding the independence of directors and the independence of members of the Company's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees are appropriate. The Board recommends a vote AGAINST Items 4 and 5. ITEM 6--SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL TO CREATE A COMMITTEE OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS TO PREPARE A REPORT DESCRIBING RISKS TO SHAREHOLDERS OF OPERATING AND/OR FRANCHISING HOTELS IN MYANMAR American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations ("AFL-CIO") (815 16/th Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20006), a shareholder that owns 200 shares of Company Class A / 37 common stock, has notified the Company of its intention to propose the following resolution at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders: "RESOLVED: The shareholders of Marriott International, Inc. ("Marriott" or the "Company") urge the Board of Directors to create a committee of independent directors to prepare a report at reasonable expense describing the risks to shareholders of operating and/or franchising hotels in Burma, including possible risks to Marriott's brand name resulting from association with human rights abuses in Burma." In support of the resolution, AFL-CIO has submitted the following statement: "According to the American Hotel and Lodging Association, Marriott operates and/or franchises two hotels in Burma, the Renaissance Inya Lake Yangon and the Ramada Hotel Yangon International Airport. "Burma has been ruled for over a decade by a military dictatorship widely condemned for human rights abuses. The U.S. government has banned new investment in Burma, and many U.S. companies have voluntarily withdrawn from the country. The United Nations, the U.S. Department of Labor, the International Labor Organization and various human rights groups have published reports on forced labor and other human rights violations in Burma. "In addition, numerous reports link the use of forced labor in Burma to the development of the tourism industry, one of the few sources of foreign exchange for the military regime. According to a 1998 report by the U.S. Department of Labor, 'there have been numerous allegations since 1994 that the Government of Burma has forced many thousands of people to contribute their labor to tourism development projects. Many hotels and other tourists facilities which the Government of Burma has built in more remote areas were also reportedly built with forced labor.' In February 2001, the U.S. Department of State also noted that there are 'reports that the Government used forced labor to construct infrastructure to support tourism.' "One of Marriott's most valuable assets is the Marriott brand name. According to the Company's 1999 annual report, 'The Marriott business model is focused not on bricks and mortar, but rather on building the value of our brands.' However, by operating in Burma, our Company may run the significant risk that the Marriott brand name may be associated with human rights abuses of the military regime, damaging the Company's most important asset. Indeed, Marriott is now subject to a nationwide boycott in the United States by the Free Burma Coalition, a coalition of student groups. "In 2000, Best Western International, one of the world's largest hotel brand companies, announced that it was withdrawing from Burma, removing its brand name from a hotel in Yangon. Best Western told reporters that the hotel would 'not operate as a Best Western Hotel until the political and social situation in [Burma] has stabilized,' and ruled out sublicensing any new hotels in Burma until 'civil rights' issues were solved. "Given Marriott's small investment in Burma, we are deeply concerned that the potential benefits of operating in Burma may be outweighed by significant risks to the Marriott brand name. Accordingly, we believe an assessment of the risks by a committee of independent directors is necessary. "We urge you to vote FOR this resolution." 38 Board Response The Board, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, have considered this proposal. The Board recommends that shareholders vote against it for the following reasons. We have a strong commitment to protecting human rights, both at home and abroad. The Board has adopted a Statement of Public Policy that states, "Marriott supports and respects the protection of human rights within the company's sphere of influence and ensures that our business operations are not complicit in human rights abuses." Under this Statement of Public Policy, the Company "supports and upholds the elimination of discriminatory practices with respect to employment and occupation; the elimination of all forms of forced and compulsory labor; [and] the effective abolition of child labor . . . ." Our commitment to human rights transcends local politics. We recognize that the government of Myanmar (in what formerly was known as Burma) has been criticized for issues related to civil rights. However, we do not believe that terminating our minor business contacts in Myanmar is an effective means to address this significant issue. We do not own any hotels in Myanmar. Our only connection to this country is through a management agreement for operation of two hotels in the capital city of Myanmar. Our involvement in this business interest resulted from our 1997 acquisition of the Renaissance Hotel Group N.V. Formerly, we were a party to another management agreement for another hotel in the same city, but we have terminated that agreement. None of these hotels are located in the remote areas where the proposal indicates that forced labor was used to develop resorts, and no forced labor has been employed at the hotels at least since our involvement. We believe that the employees who work at the hotels subject to the existing management agreement benefit from our involvement with those properties. We are proud of the steps we take to train our employees and advance their careers in the hospitality industry. While terminating the management agreement would not necessarily result in the termination of these employees' jobs, it would mean that they would not have continued access to the benefits and opportunities for career advancement that we provide our employees. In light of our favorable treatment of employees, our record of supporting and advancing the careers of our employees everywhere, and the small size of our business contacts in Myanmar, we do not believe that there is a risk that we will become "associated with" human rights abuses in Myanmar. Accordingly, we believe that the assumption underlying the proposal - that there is a risk to the Marriott brand name from our minor contacts with Myanmar - is ill-founded, and that endeavoring to prepare a report on any such risks is not a useful expenditure of corporate funds or management effort. The Board recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal. ITEM 7--SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL TO ADOPT, IMPLEMENT AND ENFORCE A WORKFORCE CODE OF CONDUCT BASED ON THE INTERNATIONAL LABOR ORGANIZATION'S CONVENTIONS ON WORKPLACE HUMAN RIGHTS Hotel Employees & Restaurant Employees International Union ("HERE") (1219 28/th Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20007), a shareholder that owns 70 shares of Company Class A common stock, has / 39 notified the Company of its intention to propose the following resolution at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders: "The shareholders urge the Board of Directors to adopt, implement and enforce a workplace code of conduct based on the International Labor Organization's ("ILO") Conventions on workplace human rights, including the following principles: 1. All workers shall have the right to form and join trade unions and to bargain collectively (ILO Conventions 87 and 98). 2. Workers' representatives shall not be the subject of discrimination and shall have access to all workplaces necessary to enable them to carry out their representation functions (ILO Convention 135)." In support of the resolution, HERE has submitted the following statement: "The success of Marriott International's business depends on consumer and governmental goodwill. According to Marriott's 2000 annual report, the Company's growth 'is fueled by customer preference for our hotels and by owner and franchisee demand for our brands.' Since the Marriott's [sic] brand name is one of the Company's most significant assets, Marriott would benefit from adopting and enforcing a code of conduct based on ILO conventions that would ensure that the Company is not associated with human rights violations in the workplace. Such action would protect the Company's brand name and/or its relationships with its customers and the numerous governments under which the Company operates and with which it may do business. "The risk that Marriott could be associated with workplace human rights violations is potentially high. For example, Marriott International manages and/or franchises hotels in Burma, China, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates where, according to the United States Department of State and International Confederation of Free Trade Unions, labor rights are not adequately protected by law and/or public policy. "In addition, Marriott's respect for labor rights has been questioned in the United States. For example, in a report published in 2000, Human Rights Watch cited the Company's labor dispute at the San Francisco Marriott Hotel as a case study of 'violations of workers' freedom of association.' The San Francisco property is currently the subject of a boycott. "We urge you to vote FOR this resolution." Board Response The Board, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, have considered this proposal. The Board recommends that shareholders vote against it for the following reasons. We are committed to providing a fair and productive workplace through a continuing partnership with our employees. We believe that our success in these efforts is demonstrated by our widespread recognition as a diverse and desirable place to work. Recent accolades for our commitment to our employees include recognition by Fortune magazine as one of the "100 Best Companies to Work For" as well as one of the "Top 50 Companies For Minorities," receipt of the prestigious 2002 Catalyst Award for demonstrated success in advancing women's leadership in the workplace, recognition as one of the 50 best companies to work for in Canada for 2002 according to the Globe and Mail's "Report on Business" magazine, being named one of the ten best companies for working mothers by Working Mother magazine and being on their best companies list for the eleventh consecutive year and 40 inclusion on the list of "The 50 Best Companies for Latinas to Work for in the US," as compiled by LatinaStyle magazine. In light of our existing commitment to our employees, we believe that adoption of a workplace code of conduct based on ILO Conventions would be a step in the wrong direction. The conventions advocated by the proposal in many cases are not designed for private employers, such as the Company, but instead are intended for government employees. In addition, we believe that it would be difficult, if not impossible, to reconcile a uniform code of conduct based on the ILO Conventions with the laws of each of the 63 countries and territories where we operate. Finally, we believe that changing our existing employee policies would be costly and disruptive without delivering any corresponding benefit given the success we continue to enjoy with our existing programs. Although this proposal refers to human rights concerns, we do not view this proposal as questioning our commitment to human rights. In fact, the Board has adopted a Statement of Public Policy affirming that, "Marriott supports and respects the protection of human right within the company's sphere of influence and ensures that our business operations are not complicit in human rights abuses." We are committed to supporting human rights and maintaining our hotels as diverse and desirable places to work. We believe it is no coincidence that the proposal was submitted by the parent of a local union that is involved in collective bargaining negotiations with us. We believe this proposal, rather than promoting shareholder value, in fact would detract from it. The Board recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal. ITEM 8--SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL TO ADOPT A POLICY THAT IN THE FUTURE INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS WILL PROVIDE ONLY AUDIT SERVICES TO THE COMPANY AND NO OTHER SERVICES Financial Investors Trust (370 17/th Street, Suite 3100, Denver, Colorado 80202-5627), a shareholder that owns 16,746 shares of Company Class A common stock, has notified the Company of its intention to propose the following resolution at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders: / "RESOLVED: That the shareholders of Marriott International, Inc. request that the Board of Directors adopt a policy that in the future the firm that is appointed to be the Company's independent accountants will only provide audit services to the Company and not provide any other services." In support of the resolution, Financial Investors Trust has submitted the following statement: "The Securities and Exchange Commission passed new proxy statement rules that took effect February 5, 2001, which require companies to disclose how much they pay their accounting firms for audit services and non-audit services. "According to a Wall Street Journal article of April 10, 2001: 'The nation's biggest companies last year paid far more money than previously estimated to their independent accounting firms for services other than auditing, newly disclosed figures show, renewing questions about whether 41 such fees create conflicts of interest for auditing firms....At issue: How objective can an accounting firm be in an audit when it is also making millions of dollars providing the client with other services.' "That Wall Street Journal article reported that of the 307 S&P 500 companies it had surveyed, the average fees for non-audit services were nearly three times as big as the audit fees. The Company's 2001 proxy statement disclosed that it had paid its independent auditor - Arthur Andersen LLP - $1 million for audit work and $30.2 million directly and indirectly for additional work [$4.8 million directly and $25.3 million indirectly for financial systems design and implementation fees by Accenture (formerly Andersen Consulting) before Arthur Andersen LLP divested Accenture]. "When the SEC was seeking comments on its accountant disclosure rules, substantial institutional investors urged that auditors should not accept non-audit fees from companies. "It is respectfully submitted that it would be in the best interests of the Company's shareholders if the Board of Directors adopts a policy that in the future any firm appointed to be the Company's independent accountants shall only provide audit services to the Company and not provide any other services." Board Response The Board, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, have considered this proposal. The Board recommends that shareholders vote against it for the following reasons. We believe that it is in our shareholders' best interests to maintain the flexibility to determine the most suitable vendor for services that we require. In making those determinations, we are able to consider a wide range of factors, such as cost, efficiency, expertise, familiarity with the Company, and protection of trade secrets and other confidential information. Applying these and other criteria, the Board in the past has determined that non-audit services provided by the independent accountants can be high-quality, focused and cost-efficient, especially when the independent accountants' expertise in a particular field is coupled with its knowledge of our business operations and our financial systems. Among the services which our independent accountants have provided in the past, which would fall outside of the Security and Exchange Commission's narrow definition of "audit services," are tax compliance and consultation services, statutory audits of subsidiaries, acquisition due diligence, transaction and accounting consultation and assistance with registration statements. Although we recognize that by retaining our independent accountants for non-audit services, we must address concerns about any appearance of a conflict of interest with the audit role of the independent accountants, we already have established and well-recognized procedures in place to monitor and preserve accountants' independence. For example, the Audit Committee of the Board receives written disclosures provided for under Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (a board formed by the SEC and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to address independence matters affecting public companies' audit firms), relating to relationships that may bear on the accountants' independence. Consistent with Standard No. 1, the Audit Committee and the Company's accountants regularly discuss the accountants' independence in light of those written disclosures. Taking into account these procedures, the Audit Committee each year specifically considers whether the accountants' provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the accountants' independence. Furthermore, as required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange 42 Commission, we disclose the amount of fees paid to our accountants for non-audit services (See page 16 of this proxy statement). We also provide shareholders an opportunity to provide their views on our selection of independent accountants, by seeking annual shareholder ratification of our selection. We believe these procedures facilitate Board oversight and robust discussion on issues that might affect the accountants' independence. Retaining the flexibility to hire our independent accountants for non-audit services is also consistent with the position stated by the Securities and Exchange Commission in December 2000 when it amended its auditor independence rules. After carefully considering the arguments on all sides, the SEC rejected a total ban on non-audit services and continued to permit auditors to provide a wide variety of non-audit services to their audit clients. The Board recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal. 43 OTHER MATTERS The Company's management knows of no other matters which may be presented for consideration at the 19992002 annual meeting. However, if any other matters properly come before the annual meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy intend to vote such proxy in accordance with their judgment on such matters. AAny shareholder who desires a copy of the Company's 19982001 Annual Report on Form 10-K is being mailed to shareholders together with this Proxy Statement. Any shareholder who desires an additional copy may obtain one, without charge, by addressing a request to the Secretary, Marriott International, Inc., Dept. 52/862, Marriott Drive, Washington, D.C. 20058. The Company's copying costs will be charged if copies of exhibits to the 10-K are requested. BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS /S/ W. DAVID MANN W. David Mann/s/ DOROTHY M. INGALLS Dorothy M.
