ORLANDO, Fla. – May 20, 2021 – Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: VAC) (“MVW” or the “Company”)  announced today the completion of its first timeshare receivable securitization of 2021, offered pursuant to Rule 144A and outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. $425 million of notes (the “Notes”) were issued in the transaction, backed by a pool of approximately $434 million of vacation ownership loans from all of the Company’s timeshare brands, including loans acquired with the recent Welk acquisition. The overall weighted average interest rate of the Notes is 1.52 percent and the transaction has a gross advance rate of 98 percent.

“The strong investor demand for this offering resulted in the lowest interest rate ever achieved by a MVW 144A securitization and is further evidence of the strength of our leisure-focused business model and growth strategies,” said John Geller, president & chief financial officer.

 The Notes were issued by MVW 2021-1W LLC (the “LLC”) in four classes: approximately $207 million of Class A Notes, approximately $107 million of Class B Notes, approximately $80 million of Class C Notes, and approximately $31 million of Class D Notes. The Class A Notes have an interest rate of 1.14 percent, the Class B Notes have an interest rate of 1.44 percent, the Class C Notes have an interest rate of 1.94 percent, and the Class D Notes have an interest rate of 3.17 percent.

Approximately $325 million of the loans were purchased on May 20, 2021, by the LLC, and all or a portion of the remaining loans may be purchased by the LLC prior to October 30, 2021. Of the $425 million in proceeds from the transaction, $106 million will be held by the LLC until it purchases all or a portion of the remaining loans or, if not used for that purpose, returned to the investors. In addition, approximately $8 million was used to pay transaction expenses and fund required reserves, and the remaining $311 million will be used for general corporate purposes. In connection with the 2021-1W securitization, the Company will redeem the MVW 2014-1, MVW 2015-1, Welk 2013-A and Welk 2015-A transactions for approximately $72 million with the majority of this paper to be purchased by the LLC.

The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities law.
