DIAMOND RESORTS CORPORATION ANNOUNCES EXCHANGE OFFER FOR

12% SENIOR SECURED NOTES
Diamond Resorts Corporation announces exchange offer for 12% Senior Secured Notes
LAS VEGAS, Nev., (July 14, 2011) Diamond Resorts Corporation (the Company) today announced
that it has commenced an exchange offer (the Exchange Offer) for any and all of its outstanding
$425,000,000 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the Outstanding Notes) for an equal amount of its
new 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the Exchange Notes), which have been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). Holders of Outstanding Notes may
exchange them for an equal principal amount of Exchange Notes. The Exchange Notes will be identical
in all material respects to the Outstanding Notes, except that the Exchange Notes have been
registered under the Securities Act pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-4
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), will bear a different CUSIP number
from the Outstanding Notes and will not entitle their holders to registration rights or rights to
earn additional interest under circumstances relating to our registration obligations applicable to
the Outstanding Notes.
The Company is making the Exchange Offer to satisfy its obligations under the registration rights
agreement entered into by the Company, Diamond Resorts Parent, LLC, Diamond Resorts Holdings, LLC,
certain of the Companys subsidiaries and the initial purchasers of the Outstanding Notes, pursuant
to which the Company committed to use its reasonable best efforts to issue the Exchange Notes
pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act in exchange for the Outstanding
Notes, which were privately placed and are subject to certain transfer restrictions. The Exchange
Offer will not affect the Companys outstanding debt levels, as the Exchange Notes will be issued
only upon cancellation of a like principal amount of currently outstanding Outstanding Notes. The
Company will not receive any proceeds from the Exchange Offer.
The Exchange Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August 10, 2011, unless
extended or terminated. Tenders of Outstanding Notes must be properly made before the Exchange
Offer expires and may be withdrawn at any time before the Exchange Offer expires. Documents
describing the terms of the Exchange Offer, including the prospectus and transmittal materials for
making tenders, can be obtained from the exchange agent, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, by
making a written request to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, 608 2nd Avenue South, 12th
Floor, MAC: N9303-121, Minneapolis, MN 55402, Attn: Bondholder Communications.
This news release is for informational purposes only, and is not an offer to buy or the
solicitation of an offer to sell any security. The Exchange Offer is being made only pursuant to
the Exchange Offer documents, including the prospectus and letter of transmittal that are being
distributed to the holders of Outstanding Notes and have been filed with the SEC.
