The Firm recently represented Hilton Grand Vacations Borrower LLC and Hilton Grand Vacations Inc., as co-issuers (the “co-issuers”), in connection with a Rule 144A/Regulation S offering by Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), as selling securityholder, of $300 million aggregate principal amount of the co-issuers’ 6.125% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “HGV Notes”). The HGV Notes were initially issued by the co-issuers to Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. (“Park Hotels”), an affiliate of the co-issuers, in exchange for certain timeshare business assets in contemplation of the announced intention by Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (“Hilton”), the indirect parent of the co-issuers, to spin-off its timeshare business. Prior to the settlement of the HGV Notes offering, the Firm represented Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Hilton Grand Vacations”) in a debt-for-debt exchange of (i) the HGV Notes held by Park Hotels for (ii) certain debt of Park Hotels held by an affiliate of Goldman Sachs.
Hilton Grand Vacations is a timeshare company that markets and sells vacation ownership intervals, manages resorts in top leisure and urban destinations and operates a points based vacation club.
