Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 1, 2016, Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) relating to the revolving credit facility provided by the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 10, 2014, as amended (as amended by the Second Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, its subsidiary Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc. (the “Borrower”), the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (“JPMorgan” or the “Administrative Agent”), Bank of America, N.A. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as co-syndication agents (the “Syndication Agents”), and Bank of America, N.A. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as co-documentation agents (the “Documentation Agents”).

Among other things, the Second Amendment amends certain of the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement in a manner more favorable to the Company. The minimum consolidated tangible net worth covenant has been amended to require the Company to maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth (as defined in the Credit Agreement) consisting of the sum of (1) 70 percent, rather than 75 percent, of the relevant baseline net worth and (2) 70 percent, rather than 80 percent, of increases in such net worth resulting from certain equity offerings. In addition, the Company will be required to maintain a ratio of its borrowing base amount (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least 1 to 1, rather than 1:25 to 1, to the sum of (1) total extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement and (2) the excess (if any) of all unrealized losses over all unrealized profits of certain swap agreements. The Second Amendment also adds certain technical provisions with respect to the impact of European Union bail-in banking legislation on liabilities of certain non-U.S. financial institutions. The other terms of the Credit Agreement are substantially similar to those in effect prior to the execution of the Second Amendment.

***

The description of the Second Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment, which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are hereby incorporated by reference.

From time to time, the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agents, the Syndication Agents and the other financial institutions party to the Credit Agreement or their affiliates may have performed, and may in the future perform, various commercial banking, investment banking and other financial advisory services for the Company and its affiliates for which they have or will receive customary fees and expenses. In particular, some of these financial institutions or their affiliates participate, or may in the future participate, in the Company’s vacation ownership notes receivable warehouse facility and may also have participated, or may in the future participate, in transactions involving the securitization of vacation ownership notes receivable undertaken by the Company’s subsidiaries.
