Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 24, 2011, DPM Acquisition, LLC (the “Buyer”), an unrestricted subsidiary of Diamond Resorts Corporation (the “Company”), entered into a “stalking horse” Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Pacific Monarch Resorts, Inc., Vacation Interval Realty, Inc., Vacation Marketing Group, Inc., MGV Cabo, LLC, Desarrollo Cabo Azul, S. de R.L. de C.V., and Operadora MGVM S. de R.L. de C.V. (collectively, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which the Buyer has agreed to purchase certain real estate and timeshare related assets, including declarant rights in certain owners associations (collectively, the “Assets”), subject to the terms and conditions contained therein. The Sellers are debtors in a Chapter 11 case before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, Santa Ana Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”).

The effectiveness of the Agreement is subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The Sellers have sought to declare the Buyer as the “stalking horse” bidder in an auction of the Assets under Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As the stalking horse bidder, the Buyer’s offer to purchase the Assets, as set forth in the Agreement, would be the standard by which any other bids to purchase the Assets would be evaluated. Other interested bidders who submit qualifying offers would be permitted to participate in the auction of the Assets.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Buyer has agreed, absent any higher or otherwise better bid, to acquire the Assets from the Sellers for $49,250,000 in cash (subject to certain adjustments), plus the assumption of specified liabilities related to the Assets. Upon the expiration of the financing contingency set forth in the Agreement, the Buyer will deposit into escrow an aggregate amount equal to 10% of the cash portion of the purchase price (the “Deposit”), which will be credited to the purchase price on the completion of the acquisition of the Assets. If the Agreement is terminated, the Deposit will be returned to the Buyer unless the Buyer defaults under the Agreement, in which event the Deposit will be retained by the Sellers. If, after the financing condition set forth in the Agreement has been timely satisfied, the Bankruptcy Court approves the Agreement and the Sellers consummate an alternative sale of the Assets to someone other than the Buyer, the Sellers shall pay to the Buyer a break up fee equal to $2 million.

The completion of the acquisition of the Assets is subject to a number of conditions, which, among others, include the entry of the Bid Procedures Order and the Approval Order by the Bankruptcy Court, the performance by each party of its obligations under the Agreement and the material accuracy of each party’s representations.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The Agreement has been included to provide note holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Sellers. The Agreement contains representations and warranties by the Sellers, on the one hand, and by the Buyer, on the other hand, made solely for the benefit of the other. These representations and warranties were made as of specific dates, may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the Buyer and the Sellers in connection with negotiating the terms of the Agreement, may have been included in the Agreement for the purpose of allocating risk between the Buyer and the Sellers rather than to establish matters as facts and should only be read in conjunction with the other information that the Buyer or the Sellers file with the Bankruptcy Court or that the Company makes publicly available in reports, statements or other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A copy of the news release announcing the entry into the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
