Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On November 17, 2015, Diamond Resorts International, Inc. (the “Company”) completed a securitization involving the issuance of $180 million of investment-grade rated securities. The issuance was completed through Diamond Resorts Owner Trust 2015-2 (“DROT 2015-2”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, consisting of two tranches of vacation ownership loan-backed notes (collectively, the “DROT 2015-2 Notes”). The interest rates for the $159.38 million Class A tranche notes and the $20.62 million Class B tranche notes are 2.99% and 3.54%, respectively. The overall weighted average interest rate is 3.05%. The advance rate for this transaction is 96%.

The DROT 2015-2 Notes were offered and sold to the initial purchaser in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and were subsequently offered and sold by the initial purchaser only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and, outside the United States, only to non-US investors pursuant to Regulation S. The DROT 2015-2 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities law. Unless so registered, the DROT 2015-2 Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States, except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

The description of the securitization transaction set forth above in this Item 1.01 and Item 2.03 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of (1) the Sale Agreement, dated as of November 17, 2015, by and between Diamond Resorts Seller 2015-2, LLC and Diamond Resorts Owner Trust 2015-2, and (2) the Indenture, dated as of November 17, 2015, by and among Diamond Resorts Owner Trust 2015-2, Diamond Resorts Financial Services, Inc. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
