Re: | Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc. and ILG, LLC Registration Statement on Form S-4 |
(SEC File No. 333-231300) Originally Filed on May 8, 2019
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-231300) (the “Registration Statement”) of Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc., a Delaware corporation, ILG, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and each of the guarantor entities listed onSchedule A hereto (collectively, the “Registrants”), registering the offers to exchange up to $88,165,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 and $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.500% Senior Notes due 2026 (collectively with the respective guarantees thereof, the “Exchange Notes”) for like aggregate principal amounts of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 and 6.500% Senior Notes due 2026 (collectively with the respective guarantees thereof, the “Outstanding Notes”), respectively.
Please be advised that the Registrants are registering the exchange offers in reliance on the position of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) enunciated in: Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation, SEC No-Action Letter (available May 13, 1988); Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc., SEC No-Action Letter (available June 5, 1991); and Shearman & Sterling, SEC No-Action Letter (available July 2, 1993). In addition, the Registrants hereby represent that they have not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any person to distribute the Exchange Notes to be received in the exchange offers and, to the best of the Registrants’ information and belief, each person participating in the exchange offers will be acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business and will not have any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes to be received in the exchange offers. In this regard, the Registrants will make each person participating in any of the exchange offers aware, by means of the prospectus relating to the exchange offers (the “Exchange Offer Prospectus”) and the related letter of instruction, that if such person is participating in an exchange offer for the purpose of distributing the applicable series of Exchange Notes to be acquired in an exchange offer, such person (i) cannot rely on the Staff position enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation or interpretative letters to similar effect and (ii) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in connection with a secondary resale transaction. The Registrants acknowledge that such a secondary resale transaction by such person participating in an exchange offer for the purpose of distributing the applicable series of Exchange Notes should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.
The Registrants represent that with respect to any broker-dealer that participates in the exchange offers with respect to Outstanding Notes acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or trading activities each such broker-dealer must confirm that it has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with the Registrants or an affiliate of the Registrants to distribute the Exchange Notes. In addition, the Registrants will include in the letter of instruction to be executed by an exchange offeree in order to participate in the applicable exchange offer the following additional provisions, in substantially the form set forth below:
• | The exchange offeree does not intend to engage in a distribution of the Exchange Notes. |
• | If the exchange offeree is a broker-dealer holding Outstanding Notes acquired for its own account as a result |
of market-making activities or other trading activities, such broker-dealer acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of Exchange Notes received in respect of such Outstanding Notes pursuant to the exchange offer. |
If you have any questions or comments or desire further information in respect of the Registration Statement, please do not hesitate to contact Richard B. Aftanas of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, counsel to the Registrants, at (212) 446-4722.
