Item 8.01 Other Events.

On September 21, 2016, Interval Leisure Group, Inc. (“ILG”) and Vistana Signature Experiences, Inc. (“Vistana”) entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (“Starwood”), Preferred Guest, Inc. and Marriott International Inc. (“Marriott”) to clarify certain rights and obligations under the License, Services, and Development Agreement, dated May 11, 2016, the SPG Affiliation Agreement, dated May 11, 2016 and related agreements between Vistana and Starwood in light of the closing of the business combination between Marriott and Starwood.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Marriott agreed to maintain SPG and Marriott Rewards as separate loyalty programs for an interim period, while allowing certain cross-redemption between the two programs. For a period of at least three years, SPG points earned by Vistana owners in connection with their Vistana ownership may only be used in the SPG program and Marriott Rewards points earned by Marriott Vacation Worldwide Inc. (“MVW”) owners in connection with their MVW ownership may only be used in the Marriott Rewards program. The Agreement also limits Vistana’s ability to market to Marriott Rewards sourced members and MVW’s ability to market to SPG sourced members. SPG sourced members are first SPG members who later become Marriott Rewards members after the Marriott-Starwood business combination. Marriott Rewards sourced members are first Marriott Rewards members who later become SPG members after the Marriott-Starwood business combination. In addition, the Agreement provides for separation of the Starwood and Marriott call centers for an interim period and provides that, during such interim period, Marriott will only permit call transfer activities, if any, for a timeshare business using Starwood’s call centers to be performed for Vistana.
