UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20549 Schedule 14f-1/A Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Trendwest Resorts, Inc. (Exact name of registrant as specified in its corporate charter) 000-22979 ---------- Commission File No. Oregon 93-1004403 State of Incorporation (IRS Employer Identification No.) 9805 Willows Road Redmond, Washington 98052 (Address of principal executive offices) (425) 498-2500 (Registrant's telephone number, including area code) April 30, 2002 Trendwest Resorts, Inc. Schedule 14f-1 Introduction This information statement is being furnished pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 14f-1 thereunder, in connection with a proposed change in the membership of the board of directors of Trendwest Resorts, Inc (the "Board"). The date of this information statement is April 15, 2002. This information statement is being mailed to stockholders of record as of April 11, 2002 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 15, 2002. On March 30, 2002, JELD-WEN, inc. ("JELD-WEN") and certain other shareholders (together with JELD-WEN, the "Selling Stockholders") of Trendwest entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Cendant Corporation ("Cendant") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant ("Merger Sub"). Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Merger Sub will purchase all shares of Trendwest common stock held at the time of purchase by the Selling Stockholders and certain other shareholders of Trendwest (the "Stock Purchase") in exchange for shares of common stock of Cendant, par value $0.01 per share, designated as CD common stock. The shares of Trendwest common stock held by the Selling Stockholders constitute approximately 91% of the number of shares of Trendwest common stock outstanding as of the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement. In addition, concurrently with the Stock Purchase Agreement, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization with Cendant, Merger Sub and JELD-WEN (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged into us, following the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by Cendant with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the shares of common stock of Cendant to be issued in the merger, upon the filing by Merger Sub of articles of merger with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Oregon or at such other time as Cendant and Trendwest shall have agreed and specified in the articles of merger (the "Effective Time"). Following the merger, Trendwest will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we agreed that promptly upon consummation of the Stock Purchase, Cendant shall be entitled to designate such number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, of the Board (giving effect to the directors elected or designated by Cendant pursuant to this sentence) multiplied by the percentage that the aggregate number of shares of Trendwest common stock owned by Merger Sub, Cendant and any of their affiliates bears to the total number of shares of Trendwest common stock then outstanding. Trendwest shall, upon Cendant's request, use its best efforts promptly either to increase the size of the Board, including by amending the Bylaws of Trendwest if necessary so as to increase the size of the Board, or to secure the resignations of such number of its incumbent directors other than directors on Trendwest's designated special committee, or both, as is necessary to enable such designees of Cendant be so elected or appointed to the Board, and Trendwest shall take all actions available to it to cause such designees of Cendant to be so elected or appointed at such time. At such time, Trendwest shall, upon Cendant's request, also take all action necessary to cause persons designated by Cendant to constitute the same percentage (rounded up to the next whole number) as is on the Board of each committee of the Board. In the event that Cendant's designees are elected or appointed to the Board, then, until the Effective Time, neither Cendant nor Merger Sub shall take any action to remove any of the special committee directors without cause or fail to nominate for re-election or elect such directors to another term and, in any case, in the event that any of such individuals shall resign or decline to be nominated for re-election, the Board shall have at least two directors who meet the independence requirements of the rules and regulations of Nasdaq (including any of the special committee directors) (the "Independent Directors"), provided, that, in such event, if the number of Independent Directors shall be reduced below two for any reason whatsoever, any remaining Independent Directors (or Independent Director, if there be only one remaining) shall be entitled to designate persons to fill such vacancies who shall be deemed to be Independent Directors or, if no Independent Director then remains, the other directors shall designate two persons to fill such vacancies who shall not be shareholders, affiliates, employees or associates of Trendwest, JELD-WEN, Cendant or Merger Sub, and such persons shall be deemed to be Independent Directors. Notwithstanding anything in the Merger Agreement to the contrary, in the event that Cendant's designees constitute 2 a majority of the directors on the Board, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Independent Directors shall be required after the consummation of the Stock Purchase and prior to the effective time of the merger, to (a) amend or terminate the Merger Agreement by Trendwest, (b) exercise or waive any of Trendwest's rights, benefits or remedies under the Merger Agreement if such exercise or waiver would materially and adversely affect holders of shares of Trendwest common stock other than Cendant or Merger Sub, or (c) take any other action under or in connection with the Merger Agreement if such action would materially and adversely affect holders of shares of Trendwest common stock other than Parent or Merger Sub; provided, that, if there shall be no such directors, such actions may be effected by unanimous vote of the entire Board. We expect that William F. Peare, Jeffery P. Sites, Jerol E. Andres, Douglas P. Kintzinger, and Roderick C. Wendt will resign as directors (the "resigning directors") and be replaced by directors designated by Cendant (the "incoming directors"). The change in directors is expected to occur at the next meeting of our Board following the closing under the Stock Purchase Agreement, but no earlier than ten (10) days after the date on which this information statement is filed with the SEC and mailed to all holders of record of our common stock as required by Rule 14f-1 of Exchange Act. THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT IS REQUIRED BY SECTION 14(F) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 AND RULE 14F-1 THEREUNDER IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPOINTMENT OF CENDANT'S DESIGNEES TO THE BOARD. NO ACTION IS REQUIRED BY OUR STOCKHOLDERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE RESIGNATION AND APPOINTMENT OF ANY DIRECTOR. Voting Securities As of March 28, 2002, there were 38,173,114 shares of our common stock outstanding. Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on each matter which may come before a meeting of the stockholders. 3 Change of Control The following summaries of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Merger Agreement and Stock Option Agreement (the "Agreements") are summaries and are qualified in their entirety by references to the agreements which we filed as exhibits to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2002. General On March 30, 2002, the Selling Stockholders entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Cendant and Merger Sub. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Merger Sub will purchase all shares of Trendwest common stock held at the time of purchase by the Selling Stockholders in exchange for a number of shares of common stock of Cendant, designated as CD common stock equal to the exchange ratio described below per share of Trendwest common stock. The Selling Stockholders have agreed in the Stock Purchase Agreement not to transfer to any person any of their shares of Trendwest common stock prior to termination of the Stock Purchase Agreement, except, in the case of JELD-WEN, in connection with the MountainStar Redemption (as described below). The shares of Trendwest common stock held by the Selling Stockholders constitute approximately 91% of the number of shares of Trendwest common stock outstanding as of the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement. In addition, we entered into the Merger Agreement pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged into us following consummation of the purchase under the Stock Purchase Agreement and the satisfaction of certain other conditions. The transactions under the Agreements, as structured, are intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the number of shares of CD common stock to be issued per share of Trendwest common stock to the Selling Stockholders will determined by dividing $24.00 by the average closing price of CD common stock for the 10 consecutive NYSE trading days ending on (and including) the second trading day immediately prior to, and excluding, the closing under the Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Average Cendant Share Price"), as follows: Average Cendant Share Price Exchange Ratio $16.15 or less 1.486 $16.15-$18.50 1.486 to 1.297 $18.50 or greater 1.297 Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Trendwest shareholders other than JELD-WEN will receive shares based on an exchange ratio that is the higher of the exchange ratio in the Stock Purchase as described above and an exchange ratio determined according to the same formula but based on the average of the closing sales prices of CD Common Stock for the ten consecutive NYSE trading days ending on (and including) the second trading day immediately prior to (and excluding) the date that Cendant's registration statement covering shares to be issued to Trendwest shareholders other than the Selling Stockholders becomes effective (the " Average Cendant Merger Trading Price"). In addition, in the event that the Average Cendant Merger Trading Price is less than $13.50, the exchange ratio will be increased so that Trendwest shareholders other than JELD-WEN will receive that number of CD common stock determined by dividing $20.06 by the Average Cendant Share Price. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub, after the satisfaction of certain conditions, will merge with and into Trendwest, with Trendwest continuing as the surviving corporation. Following the merger, Trendwest will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant. Accordingly, the acquisition by Cendant of Trendwest will, as described above, be consummated in two steps. In the first step of the transaction - the Stock Purchase - approximately 90% of the outstanding shares of Trendwest common stock will be purchased from the Selling Stockholders. If the Average Cendant Share Price per share is less than $13.50, JELD-WEN will have a right to terminate the transaction. In the second step of the transaction, the remaining approximately 10% of the outstanding shares of Trendwest common stock will be acquired pursuant to the merger. Cendant intends to effect the merger without a meeting of shareholders of Trendwest in accordance with the provisions of Section 60.491 of the Oregon Revised Statutes, which allow an 4 entity which owns at least 90% of the outstanding shares of another entity (as would be the case with Merger Sub in respect of Trendwest) to merge with that entity no sooner than 30 days following the delivery to all shareholders of a notice of its intent to effect such a merger (accompanied by a summary plan of merger) simply by filing articles of merger with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Oregon. In addition, under Oregon law, in the case of a "short form" merger effected pursuant to Section 60.491 of the Oregon Revised Statutes, shareholders that otherwise would be entitled to exercise dissenters' appraisal rights do not have these rights if the stock affected is registered on a national securities exchange or is quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System ("Nasdaq") as a National Market System issue at the time that a summary plan of merger is mailed to shareholders pursuant to Section 60.491 of the Oregon Revised Statutes. Since Trendwest common stock is quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System as a National Market System issue, dissenters' appraisal rights will not be available in connection with the merger. Immediately prior to the closing under the Stock Purchase Agreement, in accordance with the Merger Agreement and pursuant to a Conditional Stock Redemption Agreement between JELD-WEN and us, we will transfer the assets comprising the MountainStar development project and certain assets related thereto to JELD-WEN in redemption of approximately 1.8 million shares of Trendwest common stock valued at $24 per share (the "MountainStar Redemption"). After the redemption, the shares will be canceled. The purchase price for MountainStar will be equal to the carrying value of MountainStar on our books at the closing date of the MountainStar Redemption, which is estimated to be approximately $75.5 million less the sum of the amount of debt on the balance sheet of MountainStar (which we expect will approximate $32.4 million on the date of the MountainStar Redemption) to be assumed by JELD-WEN as a consequence of the MountainStar Redemption. The merger agreement provides that if the average price of CD common stock is less than $10.00 on the closing date of the merger, then the MountainStar Redemption will be cancelled, JELD-WEN and Trendwest will be returned to their respective positions prior to the MountainStar Redemption and the shares that would have been redeemed will be purchased from JELD-WEN by Merger Sub under the stock purchase agreement at the price per share paid for JELD-WEN's other Trendwest shares. We have retained the right to repurchase MountainStar for a period of two months after the closing of the second step of the transaction in exchange for the net book value of MountainStar, payable in shares of Cendant common stock. In addition, we have retained rights to develop timeshare condominiums on the MountainStar property in Washington State As an inducement to Cendant's entering into the Merger Agreement, we entered into a Stock Option Agreement (the "Stock Option Agreement"), dated as of March 30, 2002, with Merger Sub and Cendant. Pursuant to the Stock Option Agreement, we granted an option (the "Option") to Merger Sub to purchase at a purchase price of $24 per share, shares of Trendwest common stock. The Option may be exercised by Merger Sub at any time and from time to time after Merger Sub purchases, pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, at least 71% of the outstanding shares of Trendwest common stock. This option is intended to ensure that Merger Sub is able to effect the merger without a vote of the Trendwest shareholders by means of the "short-form" merger provisions of Section 60.491 of the Oregon Revised Statutes. Changes to the Board of Directors We expect that William F. Peare, Jeffery P. Sites, Jerol E. Andres, Douglas P. Kintzinger, and Roderick C. Wendt will resign as directors (the "resigning directors") and be replaced by directors designated by Cendant (the "incoming directors"). The change in directors is expected to occur at any time following the closing under the Stock Purchase Agreement, but no earlier than ten (10) days after the date on which this information statement is filed with the SEC and mailed to all holders of record of Trendwest common stock as required by Rule 14f-1 of the Exchange Act. This step may be accomplished at a meeting or by written consent of the Board providing that the size of the Board will be increased and/or sufficient numbers of current directors will resign such that, immediately following such action, the number of vacancies to be filled by Cendant's designees will constitute at least a majority of the available positions on the Board. Cendant has informed us that it will choose the incoming directors from the individuals listed below. Each of the following individuals has consented to serve as one of our directors if appointed or elected. Cendant has advised us that, to the best of Cendant's knowledge, except as set forth below, none of the Cendant designees is currently a director of, or holds any position with, us and have not been involved in any transactions with us or any 5 of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Cendant has informed us that, to the best of its knowledge, none of the designees has been convicted in a criminal proceeding, excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors, or has been a party to any judicial or administrative proceeding during the past five years, except for matters that were dismissed without sanction or settlement, that resulted in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining the person from future violations of, or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or a finding of any violation of federal or state securities laws. <Table> <Caption> Name Age Business Experience James E.

William Peare and Jeffery Sites have entered into employment agreements with us. For 2002 under the employment agreements, Mr. Peare will receive a base annual salary of $180,000 and Mr. Sites will receive a base annual salary of $150,000. In addition, each will have the opportunity to receive performance bonuses. The agreements contain a covenant not to compete for a period of two years in the event of termination of employment for any reason. If employment is terminated by us without cause, the employee will receive his base salary for a period of one year following the date of termination plus the amount of bonus earned during the preceding twelve months. Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance Under SEC rules, our directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of any Trendwest equity security are required to file periodic reports of their ownership, and changes in that ownership, with the SEC. Based solely on our review of copies of these reports and representations of such reporting persons, we believe during fiscal 2001, such SEC filing requirements were satisfied, except Roderick C. Wendt, Director, filed a late Form 4 detailing a stock disposition transaction for March 2001. Board Committees and Other Board Information The Board currently consists of eight directors who are divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible. The members of each class serve three-year terms, with one class elected annually. Directors who are not our employees or an employee of JELD-WEN receive a fee of 25,000 per year. All non-employee directors are reimbursed for out of pocket expenses for each board meeting attended. The Board has an audit committee and a compensation committee. The audit committee reviews our accounting practices, internal accounting controls and financial results and oversees the engagement of our independent auditors. The current members of our audit committee are Messrs. Demorest and Hollern and Ms. Tubbs, all of whom are independent. The compensation committee reviews and recommends to the Board salaries, bonuses and other forms of compensation for our executive officers and administers our stock option plan. The current members of the compensation committee are Messrs. Hollern and Kintzinger and Ms. Tubbs. During 2001, the Board met 8 times, the audit committee met 3 times and the compensation committee met once. Each member of the Board attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and committees on which such director served. We expect that certain of the incoming directors may serve on our audit committee and compensation committee. 13 Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management The following table sets forth information regarding ownership of our common stock by each person known to us to own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the common stock on April 15, 2002. <Table> <Caption> Shares of Common Stock Beneficially Percent of Name and Address of Beneficial Owner Owned Class --------------------------------------------- --------------------- ---------------- JELD-WEN, inc 30,883,097 80.9% 3250 Lakeport Blvd Klamath Falls, Oregon 97601 Richard L.

(4) We have been informed that, to the best knowledge of Cendant, except for the shares of our common stock which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Cendant by virtue of the Stock Purchase Agreement, none of the incoming directors beneficially owns any equity securities. The incoming directors disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares of our common stock which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Cendant by virtue of the Stock Purchase Agreement. 14 Certain Relationships and Related Transactions A. Designees of Cendant In fiscal year 2001, Trendwest was party to an agreement with Resort Condominiums International, LLC (RCI), a subsidiary of Cendant, and participated in the vacation interval exchange networks operated by RCI. This agreement was terminated in 2001. The net amount owed by Trendwest to Cendant in 2001 conjunction with its participation in the RCI agreement was approximately $1.9 million. All the potential director designees are officers of Cendant. B. Officers and Directors of Trendwest Relationship with JELD-WEN, inc. Background. JELD-WEN owns approximately 81% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of March 26, 2002. Roderick Wendt and Douglas Kintzinger are directors and Richard Wendt was a director until March 1997. Richard Wendt, Roderick Wendt and Douglas Kintzinger are all directors of JELD-WEN. In addition, Richard Wendt, Roderick Wendt and Douglas Kintzinger own 34.8%, 1.1% and 0.5%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of JELD-WEN as of December 31, 2001. Administrative Services. JELD-WEN provides a self-insured health, life and disability benefits plan to its employees, in which we participate. We paid JELD-WEN approximately $6.2 million in 2001 to include our employees within the JELD-WEN plan. JELD-WEN also self-insures its worker's compensation liability, and we also participate in that plan. We paid JELD-WEN approximately $1.2 million in 2001 to include our employees within the JELD-WEN plan. Credit Facility. We maintain an unsecured, open, revolving credit line with JELD-WEN of $10 million which is payable on demand. We pay JELD-WEN interest at prime plus one percent. As of December 31, 2001, borrowings under this agreement were $7.1 million. To the extent we have excess funds available to loan JELD-WEN, such loans earn interest at prime minus two percent. There were no lendings to JELD-WEN during 2001. The terms of the line of credit are the same as JELD-WEN provides to its other subsidiaries and divisions. We believe that the terms of the line of credit as a whole are no less favorable than could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party. MountainStar Development. We are developing a resort in central Washington state known as MountainStar. Prior to June 2000, JELD-WEN owned the land and we were acting as the developer. In June of 2000, we acquired the MountainStar development from JELD-WEN. The purchase price was $47.6 million, consisting of $25 million in cash, a $17.7 million unsecured note payable to Parent and the settlement of a $4.9 million intercompany receivable from JELD-WEN. The excess of the purchase price over JELD-WEN's historical cost was treated as a non-cash reduction to retained earnings due to the accounting requirement to use historical cost on such a transfer from a controlling shareholder. We recorded the asset at JELD-WEN's historical cost of $44.3 million; the excess $3.3 million of the purchase price over this amount reduced retained earnings. The cash payment was funded primarily through our existing credit facilities. Relationship with Subsidiaries (collectively, Eagle Crest, Inc. and Running Y Resort, Inc.) Receivables Purchase. On September 28, 2001, we entered into an agreement with Eagle Crest, Inc. (Eagle Crest) and Running Y Resort, Inc. (Running Y) (collectively "Affiliate"), wholly-owned subsidiaries of JELD-WEN, to acquire $12.1 million of notes receivable at Affiliate's historical cost of face value plus accrued interest in exchange for a cash payment of $8.6 million and a $3.5 million promissory note. The promissory note is non-interest bearing, payable in equal monthly installments, and is due in full on the earlier of September 28, 2002 or the closing date of our next securitization transaction following the acquisition date. Under the agreement, any remaining principal balance on notes receivable acquired from Affiliate which default reduce the outstanding amount owed by us under the promissory note. 15 Land Acquisition. In addition, we acquired land from Affiliate for future development in McCall, Idaho, in exchange for a non-interest bearing promissory note of $1.3 million. This note matures on the earlier of September 28, 2003, or commencement of construction on the property by us. At December 31, 2001, the total amount due to Affiliate was $4.5 million. Marketing Agreement. In conjunction with the above transactions, Affiliate entered into an agreement with us and WorldMark to transfer all of its developed unsold resort properties to WorldMark in exchange for the right to sell WorldMark vacation credits equal to the credit value of the properties. We agreed to purchase notes receivable resulting from the subsequent sale of vacation credits by Affiliate at face value. Affiliate will refund to us any remaining principal balance on notes receivable purchased from Affiliate that default. Additionally, we receive a fee from Affiliate for each vacation credit sale made by Affiliate and must pay a commission fee to Affiliate for any upgrades of vacation credit sales originated by Affiliate. During 2001 we purchased $5.7 million of receivables and received $.2 million of fees from Affiliate and paid $.2 million of commission fees to Affiliate. Through 1999, we acquired certain notes receivable from Affiliate under a similar agreement which expired in 1999. Relationship with Creative Media Development Servicing Agreement. We purchase merchandise, including incentives and/or promotional products, from Creative Media Development, Inc. (CMD), a subsidiary of JELD-WEN, pursuant to the Servicing Agreement dated August 21, 2001. Except for work in process, this agreement is terminable at will by either party at no cost. During 2001, we purchased merchandise totaling approximately $.1 million from CMD. Employment Relationships Frederick C.
