Hilton Grand Vacations Announces Launch of Senior Notes Offering

MCLEAN, Va. – Hilton Grand Vacations Borrower LLC (the “Issuer”) and Hilton Grand Vacations Borrower Inc. (together with the Issuer, the “Issuers”) announced today the planned offering, subject to market and other conditions, of $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”). The Notes are being offered in connection with the previously announced intention by Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (“Hilton Parent”), the indirect parent of the Issuers, to spin off its timeshare business, following which Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. (“HGV”), the indirect parent of the Issuers and an indirect subsidiary of Hilton Parent, will be an independent, publicly traded company.

The Notes to be offered have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities laws. The Notes may not be offered or sold within the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Notes will be offered by the initial purchasers only to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

This press release is being issued pursuant to Rule 135(c) under the Securities Act, and it is neither an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
