Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 14, 2018, Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. (the “Company”), HNA Tourism Group Co., Ltd. (“HNA”) and HNA Holdco I LLC (the “Selling Stockholder”), an affiliate of HNA, entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (the “Representatives”), as representatives of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Underwriters agreed to purchase from the Selling Stockholder 22,250,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company at a price of $44.74688 per share.

The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholder.

The Company, HNA and the Selling Stockholder made certain representations, warranties and covenants in the Underwriting Agreement and also agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Underwriters and their affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The Underwriters and their affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory and investment banking services for us, for which they may receive customary fees and expenses, and may currently be, or may in the future be, lenders to us under facilities that we have entered into or may in the future enter into from time to time.

A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 1.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The summary set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 1.1

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 13, 2018, Mr. Yasheng Huang, a director designated by HNA to the Company’s Board of Directors pursuant to a stockholders agreement between the Company and HNA, resigned at the request of HNA, effective upon the closing of the offering referenced above. As disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the Commission on March 13, 2018, Mr. Kenneth Tai Lun Wong, the other director designated by HNA to the Company’s Board of Directors, also resigned effective upon the closing of the offering referenced above.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

Concurrent with the offering, the Selling Stockholder granted to the Company an option to repurchase from the Selling Stockholder, in a privately negotiated transaction, up to 4,340,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to a Master Amendment and Option Agreement previously disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the Commission on March 13, 2018. The Company exercised this option with respect to 2,500,000 shares (the “Share Repurchase”). The purchase price for the shares covered by the Share Repurchase is $44.74688 per share, which is the price per share at which the Underwriters will purchase shares of Common Stock from the Selling Stockholder in the offering. The shares repurchased by the Company in the Share Repurchase will be retired. The offering is not conditioned upon the completion of the Share Repurchase, but the Share Repurchase is conditioned upon the closing of the offering.
