ITEM 8.01 Other Events.

On June 7, 2016, Marriott International, Inc. (“we” or “us”) entered into a Terms Agreement with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and the other Underwriters listed on Schedule I thereto (the “Terms Agreement,” which incorporates by reference the Underwriting Agreement General Terms and Provisions, dated June 9, 2006 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) (which we previously filed on June 14, 2006 as Exhibit 1.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K)) to issue $750 million aggregate principal amount of our 2.300% Series Q Notes due 2022 (the “Series Q Notes”) and $750 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.125% Series R Notes due 2026 (the “Series R Notes” and, together with the Series Q Notes, the “Notes”). On June 10, 2016, we received net proceeds of approximately $1.48 billion from the offering of the Notes, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated expenses of the offering. We expect to use these proceeds, together with the other sources of funds described in the Prospectus Supplement (as defined below), to finance the cash consideration portion of the Merger Consideration (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement) and related fees and expenses incurred by us in connection with the Starwood Combination (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement) or, if the Starwood Combination is not consummated, for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, stock repurchases or repayment of outstanding commercial paper or other borrowings.

We will pay interest on: (a) the Series Q Notes on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2017; and (b) the Series R Notes on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on December 15, 2016. The Series Q Notes and Series R Notes will mature on January 15, 2022, and June 15, 2026, respectively, and we may redeem them, in whole or in part, at our option, under the terms provided in the applicable Form of Note.

We issued the Notes under an indenture dated as of November 16, 1998 with The Bank of New York Mellon, as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank, as trustee (the “Indenture”) (which we previously filed as Exhibit 4.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 1999).

In connection with the public offering of the Notes, we filed a Prospectus dated February 19, 2015 and a Prospectus Supplement dated June 7, 2016 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, each of which forms a part of our Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-202172) (the “Registration Statement”). We are filing the Terms Agreement, the Indenture Officer’s Certificates pursuant to Section 301 of the Indenture, the forms of Series Q and Series R Notes, and a legal opinion of our counsel, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, on the Notes as exhibits to this report for the purpose of incorporating them as exhibits to the Registration Statement.
