Material Changes and Transaction Details
The filing details an amendment to the exchange offer for ILG's Existing IAC Notes. Key changes include:

- Exchange Consideration: The offer involves exchanging Existing IAC Notes for a combination of new 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 (Exchange Notes) of Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of MVW) and cash.
