Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 8, 2017, Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into Omnibus Amendment No. 5 (the “Amendment”) to certain of the agreements associated with the $250 million warehouse credit facility that the Company and certain of its subsidiaries amended and restated in September 2014 (as amended by the Amendment, the “Warehouse Credit Facility”), including, among others: (1) the Third Amended and Restated Indenture and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2014 (the “Indenture”), by and among Marriott Vacations Worldwide Owner Trust 2011-1 (the “Trust”), Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc. (“MORI”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”); and (2)  the Second Amended and Restated Sale Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2014 (the “Sale Agreement”), by and between MORI SPC Series Corp. and the Trust; and (3) the Third Amended and Restated Standard Definitions attached or incorporated into certain of the agreements associated with the Warehouse Credit Facility (the “Standard Definitions”).
The Warehouse Credit Facility allows for the securitization of vacation ownership notes receivable on a non-recourse basis. From time to time, MORI SPC Series Corp., a subsidiary of the Company, will sell to the Trust vacation ownership notes receivable that it purchases from MORI. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Trust will pledge such vacation ownership notes receivable to the Trustee to secure notes issued by the Trust. The advance rate for vacation ownership notes receivable securitized using the Warehouse Credit Facility varies based on the characteristics of the securitized vacation ownership notes receivable. As a result of the Amendment, the revolving period for the Warehouse Credit Facility has been extended to March 7, 2019. In addition, among other things, the Amendment reduced certain fees payable by the Company with respect to amounts available under the Warehouse Credit Facility and removed reserve requirements associated with the Company’s obligation to, in certain circumstances, enter into hedging arrangements.
Wells Fargo also serves as the trustee and, in some cases, the back-up servicer with respect to certain other transactions involving the securitization of vacation ownership notes receivable undertaken by the Company’s subsidiaries. In addition, from time to time, the financial institutions that provide funding to the Company pursuant to the Warehouse Credit Facility or their affiliates have performed, and may in the future perform, various commercial banking, investment banking and other financial advisory services for the Company and its affiliates for which they have received, and will receive, customary fees and expenses. In particular, these financial institutions or their affiliates are party to the Company’s revolving corporate credit facility and may also have participated in transactions involving the securitization of vacation ownership notes receivable undertaken by the Company’s subsidiaries.
