Item 8.01. Other Events.

On August 15, 2018, Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (“MVW”) issued a press release to announce the amendment (the “Amendment”) of the previously announced exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) for the outstanding 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Existing IAC Notes”) of Interval Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of ILG, Inc. (“ILG”), for a combination of new 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Exchange Notes”) of Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of MVW, and cash. Pursuant to the Amendment, (i) eligible holders whose Existing IAC Notes are validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the expiration date of the Exchange Offer will be eligible to receive the total exchange consideration for their tendered and accepted Existing IAC Notes, even if such Existing IAC Notes were not tendered prior to the early tender date for the Exchange Offer and (ii) if consents of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing IAC Notes outstanding are not received in the related consent solicitation, ILG or one of its subsidiaries will become a co-issuer of the Exchange Notes rather than a guarantor of the Exchange Notes. All other terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer and the related consent solicitation, as described in the confidential offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement dated July 26, 2018, remain unchanged. A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report 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 of 1933, as amended, and otherwise in accordance with applicable law.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Information included or incorporated by reference in this communication, and information which may be contained in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and press releases or other public statements, contains or may contain “forward-looking” statements, as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 or by the SEC in its rules, regulations and releases. These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements of plans, objectives, expectations (financial or otherwise) or intentions.

Forward-looking statements are any statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding MVW and ILG’s expectations, beliefs, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding the future. Among other things, these forward-looking statements may include statements regarding the proposed combination of MVW and ILG; our beliefs relating to value creation as a result of a potential combination of MVW and ILG; the expected timetable for completing the transactions; benefits and synergies of the transactions; future opportunities for the combined company; and any other statements regarding MVW’s and ILG’s future beliefs, expectations, plans, intentions, financial condition or performance. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expects,” “should,” “believes,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” or other words of similar meaning.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, our financial and business prospects, our capital requirements, our financing prospects, our relationships with associates and labor unions, our ability to consummate potential acquisitions or dispositions, our relationships with the holders of licensed marks, and those additional factors disclosed as risks in other reports filed by us with the SEC, including those described in Part I of the MVW’s most recently filed Annual Report onForm 10-K and subsequent reports onForms 10-Q and 8-K as well as in ILG’s most recently filed Annual Report onForm 10-K and subsequent reports onForms 10-Q and 8-K and in the joint proxy statement/prospectus included in the registration statement onForm S-4 filed by MVW with the SEC, and any amendments thereto.

Other risks and uncertainties include the timing and likelihood of completion of the proposed transactions between MVW and ILG, including the timing, receipt and terms and conditions of any required governmental and regulatory approvals for the proposed transactions that could reduce anticipated benefits or cause the parties to abandon the transactions; the possibility that MVW’s stockholders may not approve the issuance of the MVW shares to be issued in connection with the proposed transactions; the possibility that ILG’s stockholders may not approve the proposed transactions; the possibility that the expected synergies and value creation from the proposed transactions will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period; the risk that the businesses of MVW and ILG will not be integrated successfully; the potential impact of disruption from the proposed transactions making it more difficult to maintain business and operational relationships; the risk that unexpected costs will be incurred; the ability to retain key personnel; the availability of financing; the possibility that the proposed transactions do not close, including due to the failure to satisfy the closing conditions; as well as more specific risks and uncertainties. You should carefully consider these and other relevant factors, including those risk factors in this communication and other risks and uncertainties that affect the businesses of MVW and ILG described in their respective filings with the SEC, when reviewing any forward-looking statement. We caution readers that any such statements are based on currently available operational, financial and competitive information, and they should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s opinion only as of the date on which they were made. Except as required by law, we disclaim any obligation to review or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances as they occur.
