Qualifications.  Our board of directors is comprised of individuals with an array of operating, finance, sales and legal experience in a variety of industries. As such, they each bring an informed perspective on matters we face as a public company, including experience reading and understanding and/or preparing financial statements, compensation determinations, regulatory compliance, corporate governance, public affairs and legal matters. Our board of directors believes that each of the directors is qualified to serve as a director and member of the committees on which each serves because of the skills and qualifications acquired based on the following experience:

 

·                  Mr. Flower’s financial, investment and public company experience as a senior finance executive of a large public company;

 

·                  Ms. Freed’s sales, marketing, call center and consumer insight experience in the leisure and tourism industry as a senior executive with cruise companies;

 

·                  Mr. Hollingsworth’s merger and acquisition transaction experience, financial analysis skills and experience with corporate governance and management compensation plans;

·                  Mr. Howard’s operations, financial, accounting and public company experience as a chief executive officer, chief operating officer and finance executive at public and private companies and as a former certified public accountant;

 

·                  Mr. Korman’s business and legal experience as a business advisor and senior operating executive in areas involving strategy, financial analysis and planning, capital formation and a variety of transactions;

 

·                  Mr. Kuhn’s financial, legal and public company experience and his experience reading and understanding financial statements as a managing director at an investment banking firm and as the general counsel of a public company;

Several of our directors also serve or have in the past served on the boards of one or more other publicly traded companies.

Overview

 

During 2015, ILG benefitted from including the HVO business for a full year. Following this acquisition ILG realigned our segment reporting and now reports in two segments: Exchange and Rental, and Vacation Ownership. Exchange and Rental includes the Interval International and the exchange businesses of Hyatt Residence Club and Trading Places International as well as the Aqua-Aston vacation rental business. Vacation Ownership includes the management businesses of Vacation Resorts International, VRI Europe, HVO and Trading Places International and HVO’s vacation ownership sales and financing. Our 2015 results were negatively affected by currency fluctuations.

A significant portion of each executive’s pay is variable and based on corporate performance. The following charts show the pay mix at target for the chief executive officer and the average pay mix at target for the other named executive officers.

Compensation

 

ILG’s compensation program rewards annual performance through an annual bonus program and long-term value creation through performance-contingent equity participation. Based on prior benchmarking analyses, the total compensation opportunities at target levels of performance are provided near the median of the peer group, with individual differentiation to reflect, among other things, executive experience, performance, internal equity, and unique customer relationships that may be difficult to replace.

 

Compensation Methodology

 

Roles and Responsibilities.  Our executive officer compensation program is administered by our compensation and human resource committee. In 2015, the compensation committee engaged Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC to provide executive compensation advisory services to the compensation committee. Meridian also prepared a report for ILG’s nominating committee on director compensation.

 

Meridian provides the compensation committee with support on market information and perspective on executive pay practices. At the request of the compensation committee, Meridian participated in select discussions during the compensation committee’s meetings with respect to reviewing and changing incentive programs.

 

Our chief executive officer makes recommendations to the compensation committee regarding salary and bonus payments for the other named executive officers. In addition, our chief executive officer, chief operating officer and chief financial officer make recommendations on performance goals based on board approved budgets and internal forecasts, and provide information and recommendations as to whether performance goals were achieved. The compensation committee evaluates these recommendations and approves the compensation for the named executive officers. With respect to the chief executive officer, this review is conducted in executive session without the presence of the chief executive officer.

 

Peer Groups.  The compensation committee and management determined not to undertake an executive compensation benchmarking analysis in connection with the 2015 compensation decisions, in accordance with the practice of performing a full bench-marking study every three years, with the next study to be used for 2016 compensation decisions.

Relative TSR group.  The industry peer group described below is used for the 2015 relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance RSUs discussed below as well as the Russell 2000 index companies as a whole. This peer group includes those companies in the Russell 2000 that have the Hotels, Restaurant and Leisure GICS Code 253010, referred to as the industry peer group. The industry peer group was not used to benchmark pay levels.

 

Elements of Compensation

 

The total compensation program for ILG’s named executive officers consists of salary, annual incentives, long-term incentives, perquisites and other benefits. The compensation committee and management believe these programs are tailored to meet ILG’s business objectives and environment. The program for the three named executive officers with enterprise-wide responsibilities differs from the structure provided to the business leaders and will be discussed separately.

 

Salary.  Management and the compensation committee consider a number of factors in recommending and determining base salaries of named executive officers, including corporate performance and with respect to an individual executive the assumption of additional responsibilities, internal equity, periodic benchmarking, historical compensation for executives of acquired companies and other factors which demonstrate an executive’s value to ILG.

 

ILG Executives:

 

The amounts of salary for Mr. Nash, Ms. Marbert and Mr. Harvey are based upon the levels agreed in their respective employment agreements entered into in 2008. All of these agreements had an initial four year term with automatic one year renewals unless the executive or the company gives 30 days’ notice prior to the end of the then current term. Accordingly, the agreements rolled forward for another year in August 2015. The compensation committee has the authority to increase but not decrease the level of salary set forth in each of these agreements. No such changes were effected in 2015.

 

Business Leaders:

 

Mr. Gilbert entered into an employment agreement effective September 2014 and Mr. Bloom’s employment agreement was effective January 2015. These agreements specify the negotiated amount of base salary to incent Mr. Gilbert to join the ILG team in his role and to retain Mr. Bloom in his role.

 

Annual Incentives.  ILG’s annual incentive program is designed to reward performance on an annual basis. Because of the variable nature of the program, and because in any given year bonuses have the potential to comprise a significant component of an executive’s total compensation, the bonus program represents an important incentive tool to achieve ILG’s annual objectives and to attract, motivate and retain executive talent.

 

Our annual incentive program, implemented under our 2013 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan, provides for a cash payment based upon ILG financial performance, and, for certain named executive officers, their specific business and individual performance. ILG generally pays bonuses during the first quarter following finalization of financial results for the prior year and compensation committee approval.

 

ILG Executives:

 

For 2015, annual incentives for Mr. Nash, Ms. Marbert and Mr. Harvey were determined, in whole or in part, based on ILG’s consolidated Adjusted EBITDA performance and revenue. Adjusted EBITDA and revenue were selected as the performance measures because they reflect the financial focus of ILG and align the program with ILG’s key business goals. These targets are designed to reward both top line growth and expense controls. The target Adjusted EBITDA and revenue levels were based on the 2015 budget approved by the board of directors. Please see Appendix A for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA.

 

The following table shows the Adjusted EBITDA goals for 2015 for the annual incentive program. Payouts range from a minimum of 0% to a maximum of 200% of target, with results interpolated for points in between established goals:

Actual 2015 Adjusted EBITDA was $183.7 million, 98.2% of the target Adjusted EBITDA and revenue was $696.5 million, 97% of target revenue. Therefore, the annual incentives earned based on Adjusted EBITDA and revenue performance were 94.0% and 89.9% of the respective target amounts. However, Mr. Nash and Ms. Marbert agreed to forego a portion of their earned annual incentive to maintain a bonus amount proportional to that provided to other executives of ILG. This incentive amount equaled approximately 85% of their target annual incentive. The following table shows the annual incentive amounts paid to each of these named executive officers:

With respect to the portion of the incentives based on subjective individual performance, Mr. Harvey agreed to forego a portion of the annual incentive to maintain a bonus amount proportional to that provided to other executives of ILG.  As a result the compensation committee determined, following a discussion with Mr. Nash regarding the overall performance of ILG for 2015, the individual performance of Mr. Harvey and the bonus levels of other executives, to award an amount equal to 53% of the target amount with his total annual incentive equaling approximately 85% of target.

 

Business leaders:

 

The employment agreements with each of Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Bloom provide a framework for incentive compensation.

For Mr. Gilbert, his annual incentive compensation has several components. First, Mr. Gilbert can earn up to 80% of his base salary based on Adjusted EBITDA and revenue performance for ILG’s exchange business as well as his individual performance. Amounts based on Adjusted EBITDA and revenue either meet the hurdle and are earned, or miss the hurdle and receive less than the full amount with 75% earned at 95% of target, 50% earned at 90% of target and nothing earned below 90% of target.

Based on the results of the applicable exchange business for 2015, Adjusted EBITDA exceeded target by 1.2% but revenue was less than the $342.6 million target by 1.3%. Therefore, Mr. Gilbert earned all of the target incentive for the Adjusted EBITDA and earned 93.8% of the revenue-based portion. He also earned 50% of his additional performance based incentive. However, based on the overall performance of the exchange business and the bonus levels of other executives of this business, no portion of the discretionary bonus was awarded.

For Mr. Bloom, his employment agreement provides that his annual incentive has several components. Mr. Bloom can earn up to 60% of his base salary based on Adjusted EBITDA and revenue performance for ILG’s Aqua-Aston business as well as his individual performance. Amounts based on Adjusted EBITDA and revenue either meet the hurdle and are earned, or miss the hurdle and receive less than the full amount with 75% earned at approximately 92.5% of target, 50% earned at 85% of target and nothing earned below 85% of target.

He did not earn his additional performance based incentive and, based on considerations of the overall performance of the Aqua-Aston business and the bonus levels of other executives of this business, no portion of the discretionary bonus was awarded.

Long-Term Incentives.  In determining ILG’s long-term incentive programs, the compensation committee believes that by providing a meaningful portion of an executive officer’s compensation in stock, his or her incentives are aligned with our stockholders’ interests in a manner that drives better performance over time. In setting individual award levels, important considerations include effective recruitment, retention, performance, incentives necessary for strong future performance and issues of internal equity.

 

Our long-term incentive program, implemented under our 2013 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan, generally consists of two components, each of which is subject to performance hurdles. The first component is referred to as annual RSUs. The annual RSUs are performance-based restricted stock units that are granted during the first quarter of the fiscal year and are deemed earned only after a determination by the compensation committee that the specified performance conditions have been met during the performance year in which they are granted. Once earned, these annual RSUs vest in equal portions on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, subject to continued employment.

 

The second component is referred to as performance RSUs which are earned based on performance over a multi-year period. These performance-based RSUs are granted during the first quarter of the fiscal year and vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, following a determination by the compensation committee of the number of shares earned based on the specified, multi-year performance conditions.

 

2015 Grants

 

Consistent with prior years, in 2015 for each of the named executive officers—75% of the value of the total long-term incentive opportunity was granted through annual RSUs and 25% was granted through performance RSUs. This allocation reflects the compensation committee’s goal of aligning executive’s and stockholders’ interests, while mitigating the impact that the evolving business environment on this industry have on ILG’s and our executives’ ability to meet performance targets.

 

For Mr. Nash and Ms. Marbert, the compensation committee determined to maintain the size of the grant consistent with 2014 with Mr. Nash’s targeted amount equal to $2.2 million and Ms. Marbert’s targeted amount equal to $700,000. Unlike Mr. Nash and Ms. Marbert, Mr. Harvey had not had an increase in the amount of his target grant level in 2014 and the compensation committee determined to increase his target grant level from $400,000 to $475,000, thereby providing recognition for his efforts while increasing the proportion of the equity component of overall compensation and providing additional shareholder alignment to long-term value creation. Mr. Gilbert’s target grant of $100,000 was made based on the fact that he had received a large cliff-vesting award when he joined the company in September 2014, while Mr. Bloom’s targeted amount equaled $200,000. These amounts were converted to a number of units based on a trailing twenty trading day average of the stock price on the date prior to determination of the amount of grant by the compensation committee on February 24, 2015.

 

The grant levels were determined based on the particular experience, performance, roles and responsibilities of the individual executives and are summarized as follows:

Annual RSUs.  If earned, the annual RSUs will vest 25% each year with full vesting occurring four years after the date of grant. For 2015, the requirement for earning the annual RSUs was achievement of at least one of the following performance conditions that were set in late February of 2015: (1) Interval membership count as of the end of the second, third or fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 exceeding the specified amount, (2) the number of Interval exchange and getaway transactions during 2015 exceeding a specified amount; (3) the retention rate of Interval members for the twelve month period ended as of the end of the second, third or fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 exceeding a specified percentage; (4) the

number of managed resorts as of the end of the second, third or fourth fiscal quarter exceeding the specified amount, or (5) HVO achieving at least a specified amount of contract sales for 2015. Management provided a schedule of the relevant metrics in order for the compensation committee to certify that the relevant targets have been met for the 2015 grant. These awards were earned and will vest as described above.

 

Performance RSUs.  The performance RSUs granted in 2015 as part of the long-term incentives have two components: 60% vest based on a cumulative three-year Adjusted EBITDA target for 2015-2017, and the remaining 40% vest based on relative total shareholder return of our common stock against two peer groups over the period from December 31, 2014 through December 31, 2017.The compensation committee selected these metrics to encourage bottom line growth and reward shareholder returns. The two peer groups for the relative TSR-based grants are the Russell 2000 index and the industry peer group described above.

 

2013 Grants.  With respect to the 2013 performance RSUs, the compensation committee determined to base the vesting of the performance RSU awards on a cumulative three-year Adjusted EBITDA target for 60% and awards on the relative total shareholder return for 40%.

 

For the Adjusted EBITDA-based awards, if a higher or lower level of cumulative Adjusted EBITDA performance was achieved for 2013-2015, the number of shares earned was increased or decreased accordingly. If minimum performance levels were not achieved, no performance shares would be earned. The following table describes the relationship between the target cumulative Adjusted EBITDA for 2013-2015 for the performance RSUs. Performance RSUs earned could be a minimum of 0% or a maximum of 200% of the target, interpolated for points in between, based on ILG’s Adjusted EBITDA performance:

For this purpose, as for the annual incentives, Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (attributable to common stockholders beginning January 1, 2014) excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense, (2) depreciation expense, (3) amortization expense, (4) goodwill and asset impairments, (5) income tax provision, (6) interest income and interest expense, (7)  acquisition related professional fees and beginning with the year ended December 31, 2014 all acquisition and restructuring costs, (8) other non-operating income and expense, and (9) one time charges. See Appendix A for reconciliation.

 

Shares earned based on cumulative Adjusted EBITDA for 2013-2015 performance vested on the third anniversary of the grant date, following certification of performance by the compensation committee and subject to continued employment. The combined Adjusted EBITDA for 2013 through 2015 of $528.4 million was greater than the cumulative target Adjusted EBITDA for 2013 through 2015 of $500.0 million. Therefore, the 2013 performance RSUs were earned at 128.4% of target amounts.

 

For performance RSUs earned based on the relative TSR on ILG stock measured against the Russell 2000 index and the industry peer group for the period from December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2015, the relative TSR is determined as the annualized rate of return as measured by stock price appreciation over the measurement period described above, taking dividends into account and using a 20 trading-day average of reported closing prices. The first peer group is the Russell 2000 Index, of which ILG is a component. The second peer group is the subset of Russell 2000 companies, including ILG, with the Hotels, Restaurant and Leisure GICS Code 253010. In crafting this performance measure, the compensation committee noted the small number of publicly traded peer companies for ILG and determined that the industry peer group provided an externally defined group of companies in aligned businesses with similar market capitalization for measuring market performance while the full Russell 2000 provides a broad market perspective. The compensation committee determined to weight these two peer groups equally. The relative TSR against each peer group will be measured as follows with percentiles being interpolated for amounts in between:

For the December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2015 period, ILG stock ranked at the 26th percentile against the index and the 17th percentile against the industry group, which equates to no payout on these RSUs.

 

Leadership RSUs

 

For 2013, the compensation committee also approved the grant of executive leadership RSU awards to each of the ILG executives. These RSUs vest on the third anniversary of the grant date and are deemed earned only after determination by the compensation committee that the specified performance conditions have been met during the year in which they were granted. The compensation committee approved these grants to provide a larger percentage of the overall compensation in equity and increase the long-term incentive following the final vesting of initial grants made in connection with spin- off in 2008. These grants do not recur on an annual basis.

 

Dividends.  During 2015, ILG maintained a regular quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share. Under the award agreements for the RSUs, these awards accrue dividend equivalents and the compensation committee determined such accrual be made in additional RSUs which vest at the times and subject to the conditions of the underlying awards. These amounts are included under the heading “Other Annual Compensation” in this proxy statement pursuant to applicable rules.

 

Stock Ownership Guidelines.  To further align the interests of our executives with the interests of stockholders, our board of directors, upon recommendation of the compensation committee, adopted stock ownership guidelines for all executive officers. The guidelines require each senior executive to own a multiple of his or her base salary in the form of ILG common stock generally within five years of assuming his or her position. The required levels of ownership are designed to reflect the level of responsibility that the executive positions entail. The stock ownership guidelines for our executive officer positions are shown in the table below:

 

Position Level

 

Stock Ownership Guidelines

Chief Operating Officer

 

3 × base salary

 

Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice Presidents and Business Presidents

 

2 × base salary

 

Senior Vice Presidents

 

1 × base salary

 

 

The guidelines are administered by the compensation committee. As of February 29, 2016, all of our named executive officers were in compliance with the guidelines, with the business leaders included at the Executive Vice President level.

 

Clawback Provisions, Hedging and Pledging Policies.  The compensation committee adopted a recoupment policy for annual and long-term incentive compensation in the event of certain financial restatements. This policy provides that the compensation committee may require the reimbursement or forfeiture of any annual incentive payment and any long-term incentive payment or award to an executive for the three years prior to a material restatement of financial results. This policy applies if that executive engaged in fraud or intentional misconduct that caused the need for a material restatement of results, the payment was based on achieving results that were the subject of the material restatement and a lower or no payment would have been made based upon the restated results.

 

In addition, both the granted RSUs have clawback provisions in the event an executive is terminated for cause or it is determined that during the two-year period prior to termination there was an event or circumstance that would have been grounds for termination for cause. In such event, ILG has the right to cancel all annual and performance RSUs that have not yet vested. In addition, to the extent any RSUs vested within two years following the event that was or would have been grounds for termination for cause, ILG may cause such executive to return any shares or pay amounts realized from the settlement of shares issued upon vesting of such RSUs.

Pledging and Hedging Prohibition

 

Under our Policy on Securities Trading, our directors, executives and other employees are prohibited from pledging ILG shares or engaging in hedging transactions involving ILG stock or derivatives as well as engaging in short sales involving ILG stock.

 

Change of Control and Severance

 

ILG believes that providing executives with severance and change of control protection is important to allowing executives to fully value the forward-looking elements of their compensation packages, and therefore limit retention risk during uncertain times. ILG’s employment arrangements with Mr. Nash and Ms. Marbert provide for salary continuation and payment of a pro-rated bonus for the year of termination in the event of certain qualifying employment terminations beyond the control of the executive. Mr. Nash’s employment agreement, also requires either (1) a decrease of payments upon a change of control if such payments would have exceeded 2.99 times the base amount under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code by no more than 110% or (2) a gross-up of payments subject to excise tax if the payments due upon a change of control would have exceeded 2.99 times the base amount by more than 110%. The employment agreements with Mr. Harvey and Mr. Bloom provide for one year of salary continuation in the event of a qualifying termination.

 

The employment agreement with Mr. Gilbert provides for salary continuation through the end of the term of the agreement in the event of a qualifying termination, provided that a qualifying termination after the second anniversary of the effective date of the agreement requires payment of continued salary for one year plus a pro rated portion of the annual incentive paid to the executive the prior year. These arrangements are described below in “Executive Compensation—Executive Agreements.”

 

In addition, the employment agreements, with each of Mr. Nash, Ms. Marbert, Mr. Harvey and Mr. Gilbert provide that vesting of RSUs will accelerate upon a qualifying termination if the vest date (determined as if all such RSUs vested in equal annual installments) would have occurred during the period of salary continuation (or for Mr. Gilbert the following 12-month period). These employment agreements further provide that vesting of RSUs will accelerate upon a change of control if the vest date (determined as if all such RSUs vested in equal annual installments) would have occurred during the two years following the change of control. The terms and conditions of the RSUs held by our named executive officers provide that the vesting of such RSUs will be accelerated upon a qualifying termination following a change of control.

 

Other Compensation

 

During 2015 we provided a limited number of perquisites and other compensation to our named executive officers. These perquisites included group term life insurance policies for each named executive officer, supplemental disability policies and related tax re-imbursement for our chief executive officer and chief operating officer, and an auto allowance for our chief executive officer. The values of these benefits, and the accrued dividend equivalents described above, are reported under the heading “Other Annual Compensation” in this proxy statement pursuant to applicable rules.

 

The executive officers do not participate in any deferred compensation or retirement program other than ILG’s 401(k) plan. ILG has established a 401(k) plan for our employees that is intended to qualify under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Generally, all employees, including the named executive officers, are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan from their start of service. Eligible employees electing to participate in the 401(k) plan may defer from one percent of their compensation up to the statutorily prescribed limit, on a pre-tax basis, by making a contribution to the plan. ILG’s discretionary matching contributions equal 50% of each participant’s contribution of up to 6% of the participant’s salary, not to exceed 3% of the participant’s compensation for certain businesses which include the named executive officers. Employer matching contributions vest after two years of service.

 

Our chief executive officer has on occasion had family members accompany him on business trips on the private aircraft in which ILG owns a fractional interest for business trips. In each case, he reimburses ILG for the greater of the incremental costs of such use or the cost of a commercial first class ticket.

 

Tax Deductibility.  Our compensation committee’s practice generally has been to structure ILG’s compensation program in such a manner so that the compensation may be deductible by ILG for federal income tax purposes. However, the compensation committee uses discretion and may at times structure compensation that does not meet the IRS rules regarding deductibility.

 

Committee Consideration of Results of Stockholder Advisory Vote.  Our stockholders approved holding a say-on-pay vote every three years. At our 2014 annual meeting of stockholders, our executive compensation program received the support of over 89% of shares represented at the meeting. The compensation committee has considered the results of this vote and views this outcome as evidence of stockholder support of its executive compensation decisions and policies. Our

stockholders will again be asked to provide a non-binding advisory vote on our executive compensation at our 2017 annual meeting of stockholders.

 

2016 Compensation Decisions

 

In accordance with historical practices, the compensation committee set annual incentive awards and granted equity awards to the named executive officers in February 2016. With respect to the annual incentives, the compensation committee determined to revise the weighting for the various factors for Mr. Harvey, Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Bloom. For 2016, their annual incentive will be 60% based on adjusted EBITDA targets, 10% based on revenue targets and 30% based on individual performance. In addition, because of ILG”s lower stock price and restrictions on the number of grants contained in the merger agreement for the pending acquisition of Vistana, the dollar amount of the grants to the ILG executives was approximately 85% of the prior year amount.  For the business presidents, Mr. Gilbert’s prior year award was low given he had recently received a signing grant when he rejoined the company in September 2014 and therefore, his 2016 grant increased to $300,000 while the dollar amount of the grant for Mr. Bloom was approximately two thirds of the prior year.

 

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

 

Ms. Freed, Mr. Stein and Mr. Murphy served on our compensation and human resources committee during 2015 and none has been an officer or employee of ILG. None of ILG’s executive officers or directors serves or has served on the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of ILG’s board of directors or compensation committee.

 

Compensation and Human Resources Committee Report

 

The compensation and human resources committee reviewed and discussed the compensation discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2015 with ILG’s management. Based on the review and discussions with management, the compensation and human resources committee recommended to the board of directors that the compensation discussion and analysis be included in ILG’s annual report on Form 10-K and this proxy statement.

*                                         Includes amounts since September 1, 2014 for Mr. Gilbert.

 

(1)                                 Represents the aggregate grant date fair value of awards computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 in connection with RSUs granted during the applicable year under our 2013 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan. These awards consist of annual RSUs and performance RSUs. Awards with amounts that change based upon performance conditions are computed based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions assuming target performance for Adjusted EBITDA-based awards and based upon a Monte Carlo simulation for relative TSR based awards as discussed in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2015 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2016. For the value of the 2015 performance RSUs, aggregate grant date fair values at target are as follows: Nash—$721,594; Marbert—$229,587; Harvey—$155,795, Gilbert—$32,793 and Bloom—$65,612. A description of the awards can be found in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Elements of Compensation—Long-Term Incentives” section above.

 

In accordance with SEC rules, we are also required to disclose the aggregate grant date fair value for awards with performance conditions assuming maximum performance. The aggregate grant date fair value of the 2015 performance RSUs, assuming maximum performance, are as follows: Nash—$1,443,188; Marbert—$459,174; Harvey—$311,590, Gilbert—$65,586 and Bloom—$131,224.

 

(2)                                 Amounts earned under the annual incentive program are paid following compensation committee certification of the achievement of performance following completion of the fiscal year.

 

(3)                                 See the table below for all other compensation included in this column for 2014 with dividends accrued on RSUs at target levels. In addition, as described above in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Other Compensation,” Mr. Nash has on occasion had family members accompany him on business trips on the private aircraft in which ILG owns a fractional interest and has reimbursed ILG for the greater of the incremental costs of such use or the cost of a commercial first class ticket.

anniversary of the grant date, and (B) in the second line - annual RSUs awarded under the long-term incentive program which vest pro rata over four years, in each case as described in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Compensation—Long-Term Incentives” above.

 

(3)                                 The grant date fair value was calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. For the value of the performance RSUs based on Adjusted EBITDA, at the date of grant we estimated the future payout at the target level, for the performance shares based on relative TSR, we used a Monte Carlo simulation as discussed in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2015 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC as of February 26, 2016. The grant date fair value does not reflect the current value of these awards or the value of any future payout.

Pension Benefits for Fiscal Year 2015 and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation for Fiscal Year 2015

 

ILG does not offer a pension plan and none of the named executive officers are eligible to participate in a deferred compensation plan offered by ILG.

 

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

 

Change of Control

 

Pursuant to the terms of ILG’s equity compensation plans and the award agreements thereunder, upon a change of control, as defined in the applicable executive employment agreement, or if the executive does not have an employment agreement, as defined in the relevant plan, the named executive officers are generally entitled to accelerated vesting of equity awards if, following such change in control, their employment is terminated by ILG for any reason other than death, disability or cause (as defined in the relevant employment agreement or plan document), or by the executive for good reason (as defined in the relevant employment agreement or plan document) (a “Qualifying Termination”).

 

Additionally, under the employment agreements for each of Mr. Nash, Ms. Marbert, Mr. Harvey and Mr. Gilbert, he or she will be entitled to accelerated vesting of the RSUs granted under those agreements and equity awards granted after the effective date of those agreements in August 2008 (or September 1 2014 for Mr. Gilbert), if the vest date would have occurred within two years of the change in control date, with each such award treated as if it vested in equal annual installments. In addition, Mr. Nash’s employment agreement contains a provision requiring ILG to gross-up payments that are subject to an excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, in the event the payment triggering the gross-up provision is 110% or less of the base amount times 2.99 (referred to as the safe harbor amount), instead of a gross-up, the amounts payable shall be reduced to the safe harbor amount.

 

Severance

 

Cash.  Upon a Qualifying Termination, ILG executive officers are entitled to salary continuation of, with respect to Mr. Nash and Ms. Marbert, 24 months, with respect to Mr. Harvey and Mr. Bloom, 12 months. Additionally, under Mr. Nash’s and Ms. Marbert’s employment agreements, Mr. Nash and Ms. Marbert, each is are entitled to pro-rated portions of the bonus he or she would otherwise earn during the year in which the Qualifying Termination occurs, payable at the time such bonus would otherwise be determined. Upon a Qualifying Termination of Mr. Gilbert, he is entitled to salary continuation through the end of the initial term of his agreement, unless such termination occurs after the second anniversary of the effective date of the agreement, in which case each is entitled to salary continuation for 12 months plus a pro-rated

 

21



 

amount of the bonus the executive was paid the prior year. Mr. Bloom will also receive a 12 month continuation of health benefits, or if not permissible, a lump sum payment to cover the applicable premium under COBRA.

 

Equity.  Upon a Qualifying Termination, Mr. Nash, Ms. Marbert, Mr. Harvey and Mr. Gilbert will receive accelerated vesting for any equity awards granted after the effective date of the applicable employment agreement that would otherwise have vested within the salary continuation period (or for Mr. Gilbert the following 12-month period), with each such award treated as if it vested in equal annual installments. In addition, in the event of a Qualifying Termination, each of the five named executive officers will be entitled to one-third of the shares that would otherwise vest for each completed 12-month period following the grant date with respect to performance-based RSUs that vest at the end of three years. Note that generally in the case of a Qualifying Termination for death, the awards vest in full, and for disability, the awards continue to vest for up to three years following the termination date.

 

Obligations.  The amounts payable upon a Qualifying Termination are all subject to the execution of a general release and to compliance with confidentiality, non-compete, non-solicitation of employees and non-solicitation of customer covenants set forth in the relevant employment agreements. Salary continuation payments will be offset by the amount of any compensation earned by an executive from other employment during the severance payment period.

 

The amounts shown in the table assume that the termination or change in control was effective as of December 31, 2015 and that the price of ILG common stock on which certain calculations are based was the closing price of $15.61 on The NASDAQ Stock Market on that date. These amounts are estimates of the incremental amounts that would have been paid out to the executive upon such terminations/change in control, and do not take into account equity grants made, and contractual obligations entered into, after December 31, 2015. The actual amounts to be paid out can only be determined at the time the event actually occurs.

(1)                                 Under Mr. Nash’s agreement, if the payments are less than 110% of the safe harbor amount the amount paid will be reduced to the safe harbor amount and if the payments are more than 110% of the safe harbor amount, the amount will be grossed up. The 280G gross-up amount does not take account of mitigation for payments being paid in consideration of non-competition, non-solicitation and similar agreements or as reasonable compensation.

 

(2)                                 Any amounts paid that are considered excess parachute payments under Section 280(g) of the Code will not be deductible by ILG.

(3)                                 With respect to Mr. Gilbert, these payments represent salary continuation through the end of the initial term of his agreement.

 

(4)                                 The value of accelerated performance RSUs included in these amounts is based on the target numbers. These RSUs provide that the compensation committee may determine that a larger number of RSUs would have vested absent a change of control and cause such larger number of RSUs to vest.

 

Director Compensation

 

Non-Employee Director Arrangements.  Each member of the ILG board of directors who is not an employee of ILG or its affiliates receives an annual retainer and member and chairs of committees receive additional annual retainers. For 2015, the retainers were as follows:

 

·                  Board service—$65,000 per year

 

·                  Members of audit and compensation committees (excluding chairs)—$15,000 per year

 

·                  Members of nominating and executive committee—$10,000 per year

 

·                  Chair of audit committee—$35,000 per year

 

·                  Chair of compensation committee—$30,000 per year.

 

In addition, each non-employee director receives a grant of restricted stock units, or RSUs, with a dollar value of $125,000 upon re-election on the date of ILG’s annual meeting of stockholders. The terms of these restricted stock units provide for (i) vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date with settlement in shares of common stock, (ii) cancellation and forfeiture of unvested units in their entirety upon termination of service with the ILG board of directors (other than for death or disability) and (iii) full acceleration of vesting upon a change in control of ILG. Non-employee directors are also reimbursed for all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with attendance at ILG board and committee meetings.

 

Director Stock Ownership Guidelines.  In order to further align the interests of our directors with those of our stockholders, our board of directors maintains stock ownership guidelines for non-employee directors. These guidelines generally require directors that are not employed by us or our affiliates to maintain ownership of our common stock in an amount not less than three times the amount of the annual cash retainer for board service, subject to a grace period of five years from either the adoption of the policy or commencement of service. Deferred stock units and restricted stock units are included in the calculation.

 

The guidelines are administered by the nominating committee. As of February 29, 2016, all of our non-employee directors were in compliance with the guidelines.

 

Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors.  Under ILG’s Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, non-employee directors are able to defer all or a portion of their board and board committee fees. Eligible directors who defer all or any portion of these fees can elect to have such fees applied to the purchase of share units, representing the number of shares of ILG common stock that could have been purchased on the relevant date, or credited to a cash fund. If any dividends are paid on ILG common stock, dividend equivalents will be credited on the share units. The cash fund will be credited with deemed interest at an annual rate equal to the weighted average prime lending rate of JPMorgan Chase Bank. After a director ceases to be a member of the ILG board of directors, he or she will receive (i) with respect to share units, such number of shares of ILG common stock as the share units represent and (ii) with respect to the cash fund, a cash payment in an amount equal to deferred amounts, plus accrued interest. These payments will be made in either one lump sum or up to five installments, as previously elected by the eligible director at the time of the related deferral election.

 

The following table and footnotes provide information regarding the compensation of non-employee members of ILG’s board of directors for fiscal year 2015.

(3)                                 Includes dollar amount of dividends on restricted stock units that are accrued as additional RSUs. For Mr. Kuhn and Mr. Stein these amounts also include the dollar amount of dividends on deferred fees that are accrued as additional share units.

 

(4)                                 Mr. Hollingsworth joined the board in February 2015 when he began to receive pro-rated retainer payments.

 

(5)                                 Each of Messrs. Freed, Howard, Korman, Kuhn, McInerney, Murphy and Stein held 7,336 RSUs as of December 31, 2015. Mr. Flowers and Mr. Hollingsworth held 4,839 RSUs as of December 31, 2015.

 

The nominating committee has primary responsibility for establishing non- employee director compensation arrangements, which are designed to provide competitive compensation necessary to attract and retain high quality non- employee directors and to encourage ownership of ILG stock to further align directors’ interests with those of ILG’s stockholders. When considering non- employee director compensation arrangements, the nominating committee consulted a competitive benchmarking report prepared by the compensation and human resources committee’s independent consultant, Meridian, prior to determining the adjustments made in September 2014.

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

 

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

 

Transactions with Related Persons

 

ILG has adopted a written policy for the review of transactions with related persons by the audit committee of the board of directors. The policy requires review, approval or ratification of transactions exceeding $120,000 in which ILG is a participant and in which an ILG director, executive officer, a significant stockholder or an immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons has a direct or indirect material interest. The audit committee determines whether these transactions are in, or not inconsistent with, the best interests of ILG and its stockholders, taking into consideration whether they are on terms no less favorable to ILG than those available with other parties and the related person’s interest in the transaction. The relationships and related party transactions described below relating to Liberty were entered into prior to or in connection with ILG’s spin-off from IAC in August 2008. The terms “related person” and “transaction” have the meanings set forth in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

 

Agreements with Liberty Media Corporation

 

As of February 23, 2016, Liberty beneficially owned (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) 16,643,957 shares or 29.0% of ILG common stock. The following summary describes the material terms of the governance

 

26



 

arrangements between ILG and Liberty and related matters and is qualified by reference to the full Amended Spinco Agreement and Amended Registration Rights Agreement, which previously have been filed with the SEC.

 

Amended Spinco Agreement

 

On October 27, 2015, ILG and Liberty entered into an agreement which provided for the amendment and restatement of the Spinco Agreement, dated May 13, 2008, by and among Liberty, certain affiliates of Liberty and IAC/Interactive Corp., as subsequently assigned to ILG on August 20, 2008 (the “Amended Spinco Agreement”). The Amended Spinco Agreement provides that, at the closing of the proposed merger of ILG’s subsidiary with and into Vistana, Liberty will be entitled to appoint two directors to the ILG Board of Directors (rather than the three designees Liberty currently has the right to appoint). So long as Liberty continues to beneficially own at least 10% of ILG’s common stock, Liberty will maintain the right to appoint two directors to the ILG Board of Directors. The Amended Spinco Agreement restricts Liberty and its affiliates from acquiring in excess of 35% of ILG’s outstanding shares of common stock without the consent of ILG and restricts transfers by the Liberty Parties (as defined in the agreement) of equity securities of ILG to any person except as specified.

 

During the period when Liberty continues to have the right to nominate directors to ILG’s board of directors, if ILG’s board of directors determines to pursue certain types of transactions on a negotiated basis (either through an “auction” or with a single bidder), Liberty is granted certain rights to compete with the bidder or bidders, including the right to receive certain notices and information, subject to specified conditions and limitations. In connection with any such transaction that ILG is negotiating with a single bidder, ILG’s board must consider any offer for a transaction made in good faith by Liberty but is not obligated to accept any such offer or to enter into negotiations with Liberty.

 

If a third party (i) commences a tender or exchange offer for at least 35% of the capital stock of ILG other than pursuant to an agreement with ILG or (ii) publicly discloses that its ownership percentage (based on voting power) exceeds 20% and ILG’s Board fails to take certain actions to block such third party from acquiring an ownership percentage of ILG (based on voting power) exceeding the Applicable Percentage, the Liberty Parties generally will be relieved of the obligations described under “Acquisition Restrictions” above to the extent reasonably necessary to permit Liberty to commence and consummate a competing offer.

 

The Amended Spinco Agreement, and the respective rights and obligations thereunder, will terminate if Liberty’s beneficial ownership falls below 10% of ILG’s outstanding equity, unless Liberty’s ownership was reduced below 10% not in conjunction with Liberty transferring its shares. In the event Liberty’s ownership is reduced below 10% not in conjunction with Liberty transferring its shares, Liberty’s rights will terminate three years from the date of the Amended Spinco Agreement.

 

Amended Registration Rights Agreement

 

On October 27, 2015, ILG and Liberty entered into an agreement which provided for the amendment and restatement of the registration rights agreement, dated as of August 20, 2008, by and among ILG, Liberty and an affiliate of Liberty. The amended and restated registration rights agreement provides Liberty with four demand registration rights and sets the aggregate offering price threshold for any demand registration statement at $50 million. Furthermore, ILG must prepare a demand registration statement requested by Liberty on the earlier of the termination of the merger agreement for the Vistana transaction and 60 days following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

 

Other

 

An officer of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., Victoria L. Freed, is part of our board of directors. Through the travel services we offer, we sell Royal Caribbean cruises. During 2015, we recorded revenue of $0.9 million for these sales and Royal Caribbean had $7.1 million of gross sales from our bookings of their cruises, which in each case is less than 5% of gross revenues for the year.

 

Director Independence.

 

ILG’s board of directors currently consists of eleven members. The board of directors has affirmatively determined that each of Mr. Flowers, Ms. Freed, Mr. Hollingsworth, Mr. Howard, Mr. Korman, Mr. Kuhn, Mr. McInerney, Mr. Murphy and Mr. Stein are “independent directors” within the meaning of the NASDAQ’s listing standards. In making this determination, the board of directors considers information regarding transactions, relationships and arrangements involving

 

27



 

ILG and its businesses and each director that it deems relevant to independence, including those required by NASDAQ listing standards. This information is obtained from director responses to a questionnaire circulated by ILG management, ILG records and publicly available information. ILG management monitors those transactions, relationships and arrangements that are relevant to determinations of independence, and solicits updated information potentially relevant to independence from internal personnel and directors, to determine whether there have been any developments that could potentially have an adverse impact on ILG’s prior independence determinations.

 

Consistent with these considerations, the board of directors has reviewed all relationships and material transactions past and present between ILG and the members of the board (and their respective affiliated companies) and has affirmatively determined that each of Mr. Flowers, Ms. Freed, Mr. Hollingsworth, Mr. Howard, Mr. Korman, Mr. Kuhn, Mr. McInerney, Mr. Murphy and Mr. Stein are “independent directors” within the meaning of the NASDAQ’s listing standards. In particular, the board considered past and present relationships which directors had with ILG, its former parent, IAC, with Liberty Interactive Corporation (formerly Liberty Media Corporation) as well as, for Ms. Freed, commercial transactions between ILG’s businesses and Royal Caribbean International’s businesses and for Mr. Murphy, his minority interest in a resort that is in the Interval Network. With respect to the remaining directors, Mr. Nash and Ms. Marbert are executives of ILG.
