Note 20: Planned Acquisition

On March 10, 2021, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary Hilton Grand Vacations Borrower LLC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with Dakota Holdings, Inc. (“Diamond”), which is controlled by the investment funds and vehicles managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management Inc. (“Apollo”) and certain stockholders of Diamond, under which we agreed to acquire Diamond, in a stock transaction with an equity fair value of approximately $1.4 billion as of that date. Under the Merger Agreement, Apollo and other Diamond stockholders are expected to receive approximately 34.5 million shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, subject to customary adjustments. Upon transaction close, existing HGV shareholders are expected to own approximately 72% of the combined company and Apollo is expected to own approximately 28% of the combined company. The transaction has been approved by the Board of Directors for both companies. Consummation of this transaction is subject to customary conditions, including approval from shareholders of both us and Diamond, receipt of any required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

We intend to finance the transaction through a combination of cash on hand, assumption of debt and incremental debt financing. The transaction is anticipated to close during the summer of 2021.
