Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K, including exhibits hereto, contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the current expectations of the Company about its prospects and opportunities. The Company has tried to identify these forward looking statements by using words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “forecast,” “believe,” “guidance,” “projection,” “target” or similar expressions, but these words are not the exclusive means for identifying such statements. The Company cautions that a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, adverse trends or disruptions in economic conditions generally or in the vacation ownership, vacation rental and travel industries; adverse changes to, or interruptions in, relationships with the Company's affiliates and other third parties, including termination of the Company's hospitality management contracts; the Company's ability to maintain an optimal inventory of vacation ownership interests (VOIs) for sale; the Company's ability to sell, securitize or borrow against its consumer loans; decreased demand from prospective purchasers of VOIs; adverse events or trends in vacation destinations and regions where the resorts in our network are located; changes in the Company's senior management; the Company's ability to comply with regulations applicable to the vacation ownership industry; the effects of the Company's indebtedness and its compliance with the terms thereof; the Company's ability to successfully implement its growth strategy; the success of the Company's acquisitions and other strategic transactions; and the Company's ability to compete effectively.

For a detailed discussion of factors that could affect the Company's future operating results, please see the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the disclosures under “Risk Factors” in those filings. Except as expressly required by the federal securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, changed circumstances or future events or for any other reason.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure and Reconciliation

The press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 presents for the applicable periods the Company's Adjusted EBITDA, which is a financial measure that has not been calculated, and is not presented, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). See "Capital Resources and Liquidity" and "Presentation of Certain Financial Metrics" in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 for a reconciliation of this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure and a discussion of the Company's reasons for presenting this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure.
