ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Marriott
Vacations Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: VAC) ("Marriott Vacations
Worldwide," "MVW," "we," "us" or "our") today announced that its
wholly owned subsidiary, Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc. (the
"Issuer"), is amending its previously announced offer to exchange
(the "Exchange Offer"), and the related consent solicitation (the
"Consent Solicitation") with respect to, any and all of the
outstanding $350.0 million aggregate
principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 (the "Existing IAC
Notes") issued by Interval Acquisition Corp. ("IAC"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of ILG, Inc. (including any successor, "ILG"),
held by Eligible Holders (as defined below) for (i) up to an
aggregate principal amount of $350.0
million of new 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 (the "Exchange
Notes") to be issued by the Issuer and (ii) cash.

Pursuant to the amendment, (i) Eligible Holders whose Existing
IAC Notes are validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or
prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 30, 2018 (such date and time, as the same
may be extended, the "Expiration Date"), will be eligible to
receive the "Total Exchange Consideration" (as set forth in the
table below) for all such Existing IAC Notes that are accepted for
exchange on the "Settlement Date" (which will occur promptly after
the Expiration Date), even if such Existing Notes were not tendered
prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 8, 2018 (the "Early Tender Date") 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 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 Consent Solicitation described in the Offering
Memorandum and the related letter of transmittal and consent remain
unchanged.

As of the date hereof, according to D.F. King & Co., Inc.,
the exchange agent and information agent in connection with the
Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, less than a majority of
the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Existing IAC Notes
have been validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn), all of
which are expected to be exchanged for Exchange Notes upon the
consummation of the Combination Transactions, irrespective of
whether the requisite amount of consents in the Consent
Solicitation are received (and not validly withdrawn).
The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation are being made in
connection with the previously announced combination of MVW with
ILG (the "Combination Transactions") pursuant to that certain
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 30, 2018, by and among MVW, ILG and certain
of their direct and indirect subsidiaries (the "Merger Agreement").
The parties' obligations to complete the Combination Transactions
are subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement,
but the consummation of the Combination Transactions is neither
subject to a financing condition nor is it subject to the
completion of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation.
Documents relating to the Exchange Offer and Consent
Solicitation will only be distributed to holders of Existing IAC
Notes who certify that they are (i) "qualified institutional
buyers" within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or (ii) persons outside
the United States that are not
"U.S. persons" within the meaning of Regulation S under the
Securities Act and that are not acquiring the Exchange Notes for
the account or benefit of a U.S. person (such holders, "Eligible
Holders").
The Exchange Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States or to any U.S. persons
except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not
subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities
Act. The Exchange Notes have not been registered under the
Securities Act or the securities laws of any other
jurisdiction.
The complete terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer and
Consent Solicitation are described in the Offering Memorandum and
related letter of transmittal and consent. The Offering Memorandum
and related letter of transmittal will only be made available to
holders who confirm their status as Eligible Holders. Eligible
