Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On October 16, 2015, Diamond Resorts Corporation (“DRC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Diamond Resorts International, Inc. (the “Company”), completed its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Ocean Beach Club, LLC, Gold Key Resorts, LLC, Professional Hospitality Resources, Inc., Vacation Rentals, LLC and Resort Promotions, Inc. (collectively, the “Gold Key Companies”) relating to their operation of their vacation ownership business in Virginia Beach, VA and the Outer Banks, NC. The transactions were consummated pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 14, 2015, by and among DRC and the Gold Key Companies (as described by the Company in its Form 8-K filed on August 18, 2015). Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, DRC acquired management contracts, real property interests, unsold vacation ownership interests and other assets of the Gold Key Companies, adding six additional managed resorts to the Company’s resort network, in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $167.5 million. An aggregate of $5 million of such purchase price was deposited into an escrow account and will be held by an escrow agent to secure the obligations of the Gold Key Companies under the Asset Purchase Agreement.

On October 19, 2015, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the transactions with the Gold Key Companies. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
