On September 13, 2021, Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release providing a business update amidst the evolving coronavirus situation and announcing that: (1) it has terminated, effective September 9, 2021, its waiver of certain covenants under its corporate credit facility, (2) it will prepay the remaining $250 million of its 6.500% senior unsecured notes due 2026 on September 15, 2021 and has issued a notice that it will redeem $250 million of its outstanding 6.125% senior secured notes due 2025 in October 2021, and (3) its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.54 per share of common stock and has authorized a share repurchase program. The specific timing, amount and other terms of share repurchases under the program will depend on market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements and other factors.

The dividend is payable to the Company’s shareholders of record as of September 23, 2021 and is expected to be paid on October 7, 2021.

The Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $250 million of the Company’s common stock. Shares may be purchased in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

A copy of the Company’s press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01.

The information in Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Form 8-K constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of federal securities laws, including statements about contract sales expectations for the third quarter, which are not historical facts. The Company cautions you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to numerous and evolving risks and uncertainties that we may not be able to predict or assess, such as:, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including reduced demand for vacation ownership and exchange products and services, volatility in the international and national economy and credit markets, worker absenteeism, quarantines or other government-imposed travel or health-related restrictions; the length and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, including its short and longer-term impact on the demand for travel and on consumer confidence; the impact of the availability and distribution of effective vaccines on the demand for travel and consumer confidence; the effectiveness of available vaccines against variants of the virus, including the Delta variant; the pace of recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic or as effective treatments or vaccines become widely available; competitive conditions; the availability of capital to finance growth; the effects of steps we have taken and may continue to take to reduce operating costs and/or enhance health and cleanliness protocols at our resorts due to the COVID-19 pandemic; political or social strife, and other matters referred to under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and which may be discussed in our periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in subsequent SEC filings, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied herein. These statements are made as of date of issuance and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
