| 4 | Questions and Answers about the Meeting | 2026 PROXY STATEMENT MARRIOTT VACATIONS WORLDWIDE |
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
| Q. | Why did I receive a one-page notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of printed proxy materials? |
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permits companies to furnish proxy materials to stockholders by providing access to these documents over the Internet instead of mailing a printed copy. Accordingly, we mailed a Notice to stockholders who elected to receive proxy materials by email. These stockholders have the ability to access, view and print the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice and request a printed set of proxy materials.
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
| Q. | Can I get electronic access to the proxy materials if I received printed materials? |
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
If you received a printed copy of our proxy materials, you can also view the proxy materials for the meeting electronically at proxyvote.com. You may also choose to receive future proxy materials by email. Choosing to receive your future proxy materials by email will lower our costs of delivery and reduce the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting. If you choose to receive our future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email next year with instructions containing a link to view those proxy materials and a link to the proxy voting site. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect until you terminate it or for so long as the email address provided by you is valid.
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
| Q. | What items will be voted on at the Annual Meeting? |

In addition, management will respond to appropriate questions from stockholders submitted in advance of the meeting.
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
| Q. | What are the Board’s voting recommendations? |
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
The Board’s recommendation is set forth together with the description of each Item in this Proxy Statement. The Board recommends a vote FOR each nominee for director in Item 1 and FOR Items 2, 3 and 4.
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
| Q. | What is the difference between being a record holder and a beneficial owner of shares held in street name? |
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
A record holder holds shares directly in his, her or its own name with the Company’s transfer agent. Shares held in “street name” refer to shares that are held in the name of a bank or broker on a person’s behalf. Many stockholders hold their shares in street name. For such shares, the bank or broker is considered the record holder for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct that organization how to vote the shares held in your account.
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
| Q. | How do I vote? |
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
| | BY TELEPHONE 800-690-6903 (record holders) | | BY INTERNET www.proxyvote.com | | BY MAIL completing and returning your proxy card | | AT THE VIRTUAL MEETING by electronic vote at the virtual meeting |
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
Whether you are a stockholder of record or a beneficial stockholder, you may direct how your shares are voted without participating in the Annual Meeting. We encourage stockholders to vote well before the Annual Meeting even if they plan to attend the virtual meeting, by completing proxies online or by telephone, or, if they received printed copies of materials, by mailing their proxy cards. Stockholders can vote via the Internet in advance of or during the Annual Meeting. Stockholders who attend the virtual Annual Meeting should follow the instructions at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/VAC2026 to vote during the meeting. Voting online during the meeting will replace any previous votes. Record holders who received a copy of this Proxy Statement and accompanying proxy card in the mail can vote by filling out the proxy card, signing it and returning it in the postage paid return envelope. Record holders can also vote by telephone (800-690-6903) or by Internet (www.proxyvote.com). Voting instructions are provided on the proxy card. If you are a beneficial owner, you must vote by giving instructions to your bank or broker. You should follow the voting instructions on the form that you receive from your bank or broker.
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
| MARRIOTT VACATIONS WORLDWIDE 2026 PROXY STATEMENT | Questions and Answers about the Meeting | 5 |
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
| Q. | How will my proxy be voted? |
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
Your proxy card, when properly signed and returned to us, or processed by telephone or via the Internet, and not revoked, will be voted in accordance with your instructions. We are not aware of any other matter that may be properly presented other than those described above. If any other matter is properly presented, the persons named in the enclosed proxy card will have discretion to vote on such matter in their best judgment. If you are a beneficial owner, your bank or broker must vote according to specific instructions they receive from you, the beneficial owner. If your bank or broker does not receive specific instructions, they may in some cases vote the shares in their discretion, but are not permitted to vote on certain proposals and may elect not to vote on any of the proposals unless you provide voting instructions as to how to vote the shares. Therefore, we urge you to give voting instructions to your broker on all four voting items. Voting your shares will help to ensure that your interests are represented at the meeting. If you do not provide voting instructions and your bank or broker elects to vote your shares on some but not all matters, it will result in a ‘broker non-vote’ for the matters on which the bank or broker does not vote. Broker non-votes will be considered as present for quorum purposes, but they will not be considered entitled to vote on the matters on which the bank or broker does not vote and will not be counted in determining the outcome of the vote on any such matters.
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
| Q. | What if I don’t mark the boxes on my proxy? |
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
If you just sign and submit your proxy card without providing voting instructions, your shares will be voted “FOR” each director nominee listed in this Proxy Statement and “FOR” Items 2, 3 and 4 as recommended by the Board and at the discretion of the persons named in the enclosed proxy card with respect to any other matters that are properly presented.
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
| Q. | How many votes are needed to approve an item? |
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
Directors will be elected by a plurality of all the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, either online or represented by a properly completed or authorized proxy. This means that the nine nominees who receive the highest number of “FOR” votes cast will be elected as directors. Stockholders cannot cumulate votes in the election of directors. Votes that are withheld will not be counted as votes cast on the matter and will have no effect on the outcome of the election. Broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the outcome of the matter. The affirmative vote of holders of shares representing a majority in voting power, present online or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal, is necessary for approval of Items 2, 3 and 4. Proxy cards marked as abstentions on Items 2, 3 and 4 will count as present and entitled to vote and therefore will have the effect of a negative vote. Broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the outcome of the matter.
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
| Q. | What constitutes a quorum? |
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
The presence at the meeting, online or by proxy, of the holders of a majority in voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum. Proxies received will be included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present at the meeting, even if marked as broker non-votes or with abstentions on certain items.
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
| Q. | Who can attend the Annual Meeting? |
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
Only stockholders as of the record date, their proxy holders and our invited guests may attend the Annual Meeting.
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
| Q. | Can I attend and participate in the Annual Meeting online if I vote by proxy? |
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
Yes. Attending the Annual Meeting online does not revoke your proxy.
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
| Q. | Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy after I return my proxy card, or after I vote by telephone or electronically? |
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
Yes. Even after you have submitted your proxy, you may change your vote at any time before the proxy is exercised at the Annual Meeting. Regardless of the way in which you submitted your original proxy, you may change it by:
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
| • | returning a later-dated signed proxy card; |
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
| • | delivering a written notice of revocation to Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation, 7812 Palm Parkway, Orlando, Florida, 32836, Attention: Corporate Secretary; |
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
| • | voting by telephone or the Internet at www.proxyvote.com until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 14, 2026; or |
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
| • | submitting a later-dated vote during the virtual Annual Meeting (www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/VAC2026). |
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
If your shares are held through a broker or other nominee, and you are not provided a 16-digit control number, you will need to contact that institution if you wish to change your voting instructions.

DIRECTOR NOMINEES
| PROPOSALS FOR VOTE |
ITEM 1 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
ITEM 1 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS The Board currently consists of eleven members, each with a term expiring at the Annual Meeting. Commencing with the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the entire Board will be subject to election on an annual basis. The Board proposes that Charles E. “C.E.” Andrews, Christian A. Asmar, Matthew E. Avril, James A. Dausch, Lizanne Galbreath, Jonice M. Gray, Dianna F. Morgan, Stephen R. Quazzo and William J. Shaw be elected for a term expiring at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The Board does not intend to fill the vacancies created by the expiration of Mr. McCarten’s and Ms. Galligan’s terms; instead, the number of directors will be reduced to nine, effective as of the 2026 Annual Meeting. Mr. Asmar was appointed to the Board pursuant to a Support Agreement dated May 27, 2025 (the “Support Agreement”) between the Company and Impactive Capital LP and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Impactive Capital”). The Support Agreement also includes, among other provisions, certain standstill and voting commitments by Impactive Capital. Each of the nominees has consented to be named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected. If any of them should become unavailable to serve as a director, the Board may designate a substitute nominee. In that case, the persons named as proxies will vote for the substitute nominee designated by the Board. Information about the nominees, as well as directors with terms expiring at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, is set forth below in the section titled “Report on the Board of Directors and its Committees” beginning on page 18.
ITEM 1 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
| ✓ | Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR each of the nine director nominees. |
Shares Subject to the Restated Plan and Director Pay Limits
Shares Subject to the Restated Plan and Director Pay Limits The Restated Plan provides that the following shares of our Common Stock are reserved for issuance under the plan since its inception in 2020: 5,015,000 shares (comprised of the original 1,265,000 shares approved in 2020, the additional 1,250,000 shares approved in 2024, and the additional 2,500,000 requested under this proposal), plus the number of shares reserved under the Prior MVW Plan that were not the subject of outstanding awards as of the date the 2020 Plan first became effective in 2020, plus any shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2020 Plan or Prior Plans that would be replenished to that plan’s share reserve, as explained below. All of these shares may be issued upon the exercise of ISOs or any other type of award authorized by the Restated Plan. These share amounts are subject to adjustment in the event of specified adjustments in our capitalization. See “Adjustments in Capitalization” below. The aggregate value of cash fees paid, along with the grant date value of any awards granted under the Restated Plan, to a non-employee director shall not exceed $750,000 during any fiscal year. The number of shares reserved under the Restated Plan will be depleted on the date of grant of an award by the maximum number of shares, if any, with respect to which the award is granted. An award that provides for settlement solely in cash will not cause any depletion of the reserve at the time the award is granted. The share reserve under the Restated Plan can be replenished or increased by certain terminated or forfeited awards. Specifically, to the extent (1) an award granted under the Restated Plan lapses, expires, terminates or is cancelled without the issuance of shares under the award (whether due currently or on a deferred basis), (2) it is determined during or at the conclusion of the term of an award that all or some portion of the shares with respect to which the award was granted will not be issuable on the basis that the conditions for such issuance will not be satisfied, (3) shares are forfeited under an award, (4) shares are tendered, or shares otherwise issuable under an award are withheld in payment of an exercise price of an option or in payment of any federal, state, local or other tax withholding obligations, or shares are not issued as a result of the net settlement of an award, or (5) shares are issued under any award and we subsequently reacquire them pursuant to rights reserved upon the issuance of the shares, then those shares will be recredited to the Restated Plan’s reserve and may again be used for new awards under the Restated Plan. Shares recredited to the Restated Plan’s reserve pursuant to clause (5) in the preceding sentence, however, may not be issued pursuant to ISOs. Shares purchased by us using proceeds from option exercises may not be recredited to the reserve. If, after the effective date of the Restated Plan, any shares subject to awards granted under the 2020 Plan or Prior Plans would become available to be re-credited to the 2020 Plan’s or the Prior Plans’ reserves if such plans were still in effect (determined by applying the share reserve replenishment provisions described above), then those shares will be available for the purpose of granting awards under the Restated Plan, thereby increasing the reserve.
OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS Our Board currently consists of eleven members. At our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders approved and adopted an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to phase in the declassification of our Board commencing with the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

With the exceptions of Mr. Andrews and Mr. Shaw, who were last elected at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and Mr. Asmar, who joined the Board pursuant to the Support Agreement, effective May 27, 2025, each of the director nominees was last elected at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Board does not intend to fill the vacancy created by the expiration of Mr. McCarten’s and Ms. Galligan’s terms; instead, the number of directors will be reduced to nine effective as of the 2026 Annual Meeting. All of our director nominees currently serve as directors on our Board. The tables below set forth information regarding the members of our Board nominated for re-election. Our Board has determined that all members of our Board are “independent directors” meeting the applicable requirements of the Listing Rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) other than Matthew E.

SELECTION OF DIRECTOR NOMINEES
SELECTION OF DIRECTOR NOMINEES The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies and recruits candidates for election to the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates the composition of the Board at least annually to assess the skills and experience that are currently represented on the Board as a whole, and in individual directors, as well as the skills and experience that the Board may find valuable in the future. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee selects and recommends to the Board director candidates based on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s evaluation of each candidate’s character, judgment, personal and professional ethics, personal and professional integrity, values, background experience, technical skills, affiliations, familiarity with national and international issues affecting our business and demonstrated exceptional ability and judgment. Although we do not have a formal policy regarding diversity, our Board seeks diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives among its members. Candidates are selected who not only bring a depth of experience but also provide skills and knowledge complementary to the Board and our business. Candidates must be committed to representing the long-term interests of our stockholders and fulfilling a director’s duties and responsibilities, which include attending Board meetings and our annual stockholders meeting, and preparing for Board meetings by advance review of any meeting materials. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommends to the Board the Company’s candidates for election or reelection to the Board at each annual meeting of stockholders, as well as candidates to be elected by the Board as necessary to fill vacancies and newly created directorships. The Board proposes a slate of nominees to the stockholders for election to the Board. The Board also determines the number of directors on the Board. Pursuant to the Support Agreement with Impactive Capital, the Company agreed to appoint Mr. Asmar to the Board. Before entering into the Support Agreement, members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee interviewed Mr. Asmar, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee discussed and evaluated Mr. Asmar’s candidacy in accordance with the criteria described above, and the Board unanimously approved Mr. Asmar’s appointment to the Board. The Support Agreement provides for customary director replacement procedures in the event Mr. Asmar ceases to serve as a director under certain circumstances as specified in the Support Agreement. Please refer to Transactions with Certain Stockholders for more information regarding the Support Agreement. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies candidates for director on its own as well as by considering recommendations from other members of the Board, officers and employees of the Company, and other sources that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee deems appropriate. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will also consider candidates for Board membership recommended by stockholders. Stockholders may recommend candidates for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by submitting the names and supporting information to: Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation, 7812 Palm Parkway, Orlando, Florida, 32836, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Candidates recommended by stockholders are considered on the same basis as those from other sources. The supporting information should include the information required by our Bylaws in connection with the nominations of persons for election to the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate all candidates, regardless of source, in light of the Board-approved criteria.

February 2025 Compensation Actions
| Compensation Element | Compensation Decisions | | Base Salary | With the exception of Mr. Avril, who was appointed interim CEO in November 2025, all of the NEOs received base pay increases in 2025. Based on the CPC’s desire to bring Mr. Marino’s compensation closer to market median, a larger base pay increase was approved. In determining the amount of the adjustments, the CPC considered individual contributions to overall corporate results, Company budget, salary level relative to market and prior compensation actions. | | Annual Bonus | For 2025, our financial objectives, which account for 80% of the amounts payable under our management bonus plan (the “Bonus Plan”), were Adjusted EBITDA and Total Revenue (which are defined below under “Bonuses and Incentives”). The remaining 20% of amounts payable under the Bonus Plan was based on corporate responsibility initiatives. | | Equity Compensation | With the exception of Mr. Avril, all of our NEOs received increases in their equity compensation in 2025 to align their interests with stockholder interests. The amount of each NEO’s award was determined by considering market data and internal factors. Consistent with prior years (other than for Mr. Avril), our equity award mix for 2025 consisted of the following: 50% performance based stock units (“PSUs”), 20% stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and 30% restricted stock units (“RSUs”), based on grant date value. In connection with his appointment as interim President and CEO, which was expected to be a short-term engagement, in November 2025, Mr. Avril received 33% SARs and 67% RSUs based on grant date fair value. |

PHILOSOPHY
| • | Motivate and Balance Short-term and Long-term Performance: Compensation should be designed to motivate executive officers to perform their duties in ways that would help achieve current year as well as longer-term objectives. This has been achieved by offering a mix of short-term cash-based and long-term equity-based incentives. |
Pay for Performance is Key Compensation Program Principle
Pay for Performance is Key Compensation Program Principle A large portion of the total pay opportunity for our NEOs is performance based or tied to stock performance. This means that it is contingent upon achieving specific results that are essential to the Company’s short- and long-term success and growth in stockholder value. As described in more detail in the following pages, the performance-based components of the 2025 compensation program include annual and long-term incentives that are comprised of PSUs, SARs and RSUs. The CPC has not established a specific formula for the allocation of performance-based compensation components and instead retains the discretion to modify the allocation from year to year. The chart below reflects the percentage of our former CEO’s and the average of each other NEO’s total target compensation (excluding Mr. Avril) that was performance-based in 2025. In November 2025, Mr. Avril, whom was an active Board Member at the time, was appointed as the Company’s interim President and CEO, and served in that role until he was appointed as CEO effective February 16, 2026. The target pay mix approved in November 2025 for Mr. Avril’s service as the interim President and CEO was approximately 80% equity based and 20% base salary.
Additional Principles and Corporate Governance Policies

The NYSE Clawback Policy was adopted in May 2023 and complies with the NYSE rules for erroneously awarded compensation. In addition, we maintain an Other Conduct Clawback Policy whereby the Board may recoup any compensation received, including time-based equity awards, by a named executive officer who has |

Market Data
Market Data To assist in determining the levels of compensation for our NEOs in 2025, Exequity LLP (“Exequity”), the CPC’s compensation consultant, recommended an appropriate peer group for approval by the CPC and management. Considerations for developing the peer group included company size as measured by revenues (generally one-half to two times the Company’s revenues) and market capitalization (companies with very low or very high market capitalization relative to the Company were excluded), industry and business model similarities, and trading on a major exchange. Toll Brothers, Inc., which had been a member of our peer group until 2024, was removed from the peer group for 2025 due to industry comparability and market capitalization relative to the Company. The companies in the peer group used as the basis for 2025 compensation decisions consisted of the following:
Market Data
| Peer Group Companies | | | Bloomin’ Brands, Inc. Boyd Gaming Corporation Caesars Entertainment, Inc. Choice Hotels International, Inc. Darden Restaurants, Inc. Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. Hyatt Hotels Corporation | Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. PENN Entertainment, Inc. Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. Travel + Leisure Co. Vail Resorts, Inc. Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc. Wynn Resorts, Limited |
Market Data
In addition, in part due to the fact that there are very few public company direct competitors, the CPC determined that it was appropriate to consider the compensation practices of a general industry peer group as an additional reference point for its 2025 executive pay decisions. Accordingly, the CPC considered the compensation practices of a general industry peer group consisting of forty companies in the hospitality, consumer products and retail industry that participated in the Aon Survey Group database (i.e., 20 hospitality, consumer products and retail companies with revenues greater than, and 20 hospitality, consumer products and retail companies with revenues less than, the Company’s revenues).

Role of the Compensation Consultant
Role of the Compensation Consultant In 2025, the CPC engaged Exequity to provide executive compensation consulting services. Exequity’s services to the CPC have included updates on best practices and market trends in executive and director compensation, recommendations regarding executive and director compensation, and an independent review of compensation proposals by the Company’s senior management. Exequity attended meetings of the CPC at the Committee’s request and was available to provide guidance as questions and issues arose. During 2025, Exequity did not perform any services for the Company other than in connection with providing advice and recommendations on executive and director compensation. The CPC determined that Exequity is independent after consideration of the factors set forth in the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

Bonuses and Incentives
Bonuses and Incentives 2025 Annual Bonus For 2025, with the exception of Mr. Avril, the NEOs were eligible to participate in the Bonus Plan, which was intended to reward executives for achievement of pre-established financial and corporate responsibility objectives tied to 2025 performance. The potential and actual awards under the Bonus Plan are reported in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards for Fiscal Year 2025 table and Summary Compensation Table, respectively. The CPC approved the following target awards as a percentage of base salary for the NEOs:
Bonuses and Incentives
| Name | 2025 Target | 2024 Target | Percent Change | | Mr. Avril | NA | NA | NA | | Mr. Geller | 150% | 150% | 0% | | Mr. Marino | 110% | 100% | 10% | | Mr. Miller | 110% | 100% | 10% | | Mr. Hunter | 100% | 100% | 0% | | Ms. Gustafson | 100% | 90% | 11% |
Bonuses and Incentives
Mr. Marino, Mr. Miller, and Ms. Gustafson’s bonus target changes reflect approved increases to competitively position them against peer group medians. In determining the target award percentage for each eligible NEO, as well as in determining the differences in the target award percentages among the NEOs, the CPC considered market data and internal factors, including pay equity with other officers, differences in responsibilities, and future potential. Threshold performance was required in order to pay 25% of such NEO’s target award and the maximum award for each NEO was 200% of such NEO’s target award. There were two financial objectives tied to the Bonus Plan for 2025: Adjusted EBITDA and Total Revenue. These financial objectives were tied to 80% of the executive officer’s total bonus opportunity, and were weighted at 60% and 20%, respectively. These financial performance measures were selected because they are important indicators of the Company’s profitability and growth. Former CEO, Mr. Geller, and Mr. Marino developed the specific performance level percentages for these objectives, which were reviewed and approved by the CPC. For all eligible NEOs, Adjusted EBITDA was the most heavily weighted performance criteria because it is reflective of the Company’s operating performance for 2025. For purposes of the Bonus Plan, “Adjusted EBITDA” means EBITDA (as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K) for the 2025 fiscal year, excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense, impairments, transaction and integration costs, gains and losses on the disposal of assets or businesses, gains and losses on foreign currency exchange related activity, gains and losses on insurance settlements, litigation charges, estimated impacts on natural disasters, and activity not associated with the Company’s ongoing core operations, and including the appropriate approved financial impact

of new business ventures. No adjustment is made for consumer financing interest expense associated with the term securitization transactions in calculating Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not prescribed by GAAP. The Adjusted EBITDA target was set at $780 million, a level we believed to be achievable but not certain to be met.
Bonuses and Incentives
| Adjusted EBITDA Achievement Target | Payout as a Percent of Target | | Less than $702 million | 0% | | $702 million | 25% | | $780 million | 100% | | $858 million or more | 200% |
Bonuses and Incentives
For purposes of the Bonus Plan, “Total Revenue” means total revenues for the 2025 fiscal year, excluding cost reimbursement and property owner association consolidation revenues (as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K), intercompany revenue eliminations and the net down of vacation ownership rental revenue in accordance with ASC 978, and including the appropriate approved financial impact of new business ventures. The Total Revenue target was set at $3,649 million, a level we believed to be achievable but not certain to be met. For 2025, the eligible NEOs were eligible to receive the portion of the bonus attributable to Total Revenue based on the following achievement levels:
Bonuses and Incentives
| Total Revenue Achievement Target | Payout as a Percent of Target | | Less than $3,467 million | 0% | | $3,467 million | 25% | | $3,649 million | 100% | | $3,832 million or more | 200% |
Bonuses and Incentives
For each of the financial measures, achievement falling between two of the stated performance achievement levels resulted in the payment for that portion of the bonus being interpolated between the corresponding bonus levels, except that there is no interpolation between 0% and 25%. Accordingly, there is no payout if achievement is below the threshold level of achievement of 25%. In addition to the financial performance measures, the Bonus Plan for the eligible NEOs included performance measures based on corporate responsibility, measuring varying degrees of associate engagement and customer satisfaction with a combined weighting of 20% of the total bonus opportunity. The corporate responsibility measures were approved by the CPC and subsequently evaluated objectively, and, like Adjusted EBITDA and Total Revenue targets, are intended to establish high standards, consistent with our quality goals, which we believed were achievable but not certain to be met. “Associate Engagement” is represented by the assessment of our engagement survey accountability index and the inclusive culture index for the entire Company, as measured by an independent third party based upon the Company’s associates’ responses to a broad multi-employer survey. Additionally, customer satisfaction was based on the results of customer and guest satisfaction surveys we developed. Different surveys are used for different aspects of our business, such as Guest Satisfaction, Sales and Marketing Satisfaction and Owner Services Satisfaction. These surveys address topics such as overall satisfaction, quality of service, and cleanliness of properties. We believe that these performance measures are important contributors to achieving success within our industry. Payout under this performance measure can be zero or at threshold, target or maximum award levels or, in most cases, interpolated between award levels. However, there is no interpolation between zero and threshold. The CPC reviewed certain items that impacted Adjusted EBITDA in 2025, as defined. Adjusted EBITDA was adjusted by the CPC for short-term incentive purposes (i.e., annual management bonus purposes) consistent with the above definition for costs relating to amortization of cloud computing costs. This adjustment decreased the achievement level of the Adjusted EBITDA goal by approximately $6.0 million. Total Revenue was not adjusted by the CPC for short-term incentive purposes (i.e., annual management bonus purposes). The payout for the Corporate responsibility metric was negatively adjusted based on the CPC’s discretion. Given the overall company financial performance, this non-financial metric payout was decreased by 12.4 percentage points from 40% to 27.6% achievement. The 2025 short-term incentive payout was calculated using, $744.8 Adjusted EBITDA achieved 66.12% of target, resulting in a component payout of 39.67%; $3,413.9 million of Total Revenue resulted in a component payout of 0.0% payout; and the corporate responsibility component achieved 138.0% of target, resulting in a payout of 27.6% (reflecting the CPC’s discretion). The total adjusted bonus payout was 67.27% of the target bonus for the period, which resulted in the following payments for our NEOs:
Bonuses and Incentives
| Name | 2025 Bonus Payout | | Mr. Avril | NA | | Mr. Geller* | NA | | Mr. Marino | $425,500 | | Mr. Miller | $622,717 | | Mr. Hunter | $336,476 | | Ms. Gustafson | $319,545 |
Bonuses and Incentives

Bonuses and Incentives
2026 Annual Bonus For the 2026 Bonus Plan, the CPC has increased it’s focus on financial metrics. While still believing non-financial metrics are important, customer satisfaction will remain with a reduced % component for the short-term incentive. Corporate responsibility metrics relating to the annual employee engagement survey have been removed.
Stock Awards
Stock Awards Stock Awards Granted in 2025 Equity compensation awards are typically granted to the NEOs on an annual basis under the 2020 Equity Plan. With multi-year and, in some cases, performance-based vesting conditions, and the opportunity for long-term capital appreciation, the annual stock awards help us achieve our objectives of attracting and retaining key executive talent, linking NEO pay to long-term Company performance and aligning the interests of NEOs with those of stockholders. Mr. Avril’s equity award was granted by the CPC in November 2025 in connection with his appointment as interim President and CEO. The CPC approved the following annual equity awards for 2025 for our NEOs:
Stock Awards
When approving the annual equity awards in March 2025 the amount of each NEO’s award, as well as the differences in the award amounts among the NEOs, were determined by considering market data (as described above) and internal factors, including pay equity with other officers, differences in responsibilities, job performance, and future potential. The CPC’s consideration of the external market pay practices of various companies discussed above under “Market Data” resulted in the determination to increase the value of the awards for each of the NEOs. Based on the review of market data, all of our NEOs’ equity grants were increased to align with the peer groups equity target medians. Mr. Marino’s larger equity adjustment recognizes the CPC’s desire to close the gap to market and bring his long-term incentive target closer to median. The awards are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table for 2025 and the Grants of Plan-Based Awards for Fiscal Year 2025 table. The value of the awards was allocated among Performance Units, SARs and RSUs as follows:
Stock Awards
| Type of Award | Percentage of 2025 Award | Percentage of 2024 Award | | Performance Units | 50% | 50% | | SARs | 20% | 20% | | RSUs | 30% | 30% |
Stock Awards
The allocations were set so as to advance the executives’ alignment with stockholders by increasing their equity ownership, while tying a portion of the awards to future stock price performance. The RSUs are time-based stock awards that focus on retention of the executives and SARs are granted to further align the executives’ and stockholders’ interests by requiring an increase in stock price in order for the executives to recognize value from the awards. For the 2025-2027 Performance award, the CPC has replaced the Adjusted EBITDA goal in the long-term incentive program with Adjusted EPS. This decision was based on a review of both short term and long term incentive designs in the competitive market and peer groups. The CPC believes the change to Adjusted EPS will better align the Company’s long-term incentive program with stockholder expectations while promoting sustained performance of the Company over both the shorter- and longer-term. The Performance Units granted in 2025 represent the right to receive shares of our Common Stock after the end of the performance period beginning January 1, 2025 and ending December 31, 2027, in an amount determined based on the Company’s achievement over the performance period with respect to two performance objectives: Adjusted EPS and Adjusted return on invested capital (“Adjusted ROIC”), each weighted equally. “Adjusted ROIC” means Adjusted EBIT, defined as Adjusted EBITDA less Depreciation and Amortization as reported in the Company’s annual reports on Form 10-K over the performance period, as a percentage of Net Total Invested Capital. “Net Total Invested Capital” means the average of the beginning of the performance period and the end of the performance period total assets less current liabilities (excluding non-securitized debt) and securitized debt, provided that any cash in excess of $150 million will be disregarded for purposes of determining total assets. The Adjusted EPS and Adjusted ROIC targets were set at levels we believed to be achievable but not certain to be met. The number of Performance Units actually earned will be determined following the end of the performance period and will be equal to 50% of the granted number of Performance Units multiplied by a percentage corresponding to the achievement level of the Adjusted EPS performance objective plus 50% of the granted number of Performance Units multiplied by a percentage corresponding to the achievement level of the Adjusted ROIC performance objective. The number of shares that will be received can range from zero to two times the number of Performance Units granted. For the 2024-2026 and 2025-2027 PSUs,

the CPC established performance metrics for each year in the performance period. However, the number of PSUs earned for the 2024-2026 and 2025-2027 performance periods, if any, will not be paid until after the end of the last performance period for such award based on the Company’s achievement over each of the three annual performance periods with respect to two performance objectives. Listed below are estimated performance and payout levels for the 2025-2027 PSUs and 2024-2026 PSUs based on 2025 actual results:

If performance falls between levels, the vesting percentage will be determined by the CPC based on straight-line interpolation; provided, however, that no payout will be made with respect to either the Adjusted EPS performance objective or the Adjusted ROIC performance objective for achievement less than threshold. Performance Units will not vest if the NEO does not continue to be an active employee of the Company during the entire period from the grant date through the performance period (unless the NEO retires as an approved retiree or dies or is disabled during such period) or engages in competition or acts that are or potentially are injurious to the Company’s operations, financial condition or business reputation during that period; the NEOs are also prohibited from soliciting any of our employees to leave our employment during the period from the grant date until the first anniversary of the termination of the officer’s employment for any reason. If an NEO retires as an approved retiree during the performance period, a pro rata portion of the Performance Units will continue to vest on the same terms. If an NEO dies or is disabled during the performance period, a pro-rata portion of the Performance Units will vest assuming achievement at the target level of performance. 2023—2025 Performance Units Following the end of 2025, each of the NEOs who received Performance Units in 2023 received zero shares upon the vesting of such Performance Units. These performance shares represented the right to receive shares of our Common Stock at the end of the performance period beginning January 1, 2023, and ending December 31, 2025, in an amount determined based on the Company’s cumulative achievement over the performance period with respect to two performance objectives: Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted ROIC, each weighted equally. The targets were set in February of 2022 at levels we believed to be achievable but not certain to be met.

Long-Term Disability Plan Our NEOs and approximately 430 other associates are eligible to participate in the Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation Executive Long-Term Disability Plan (the “LTD Plan”). The purpose of the LTD Plan is to improve the ability of the Company to attract and retain executive and senior level associates by providing such associates with enhanced long-term disability insurance. The LTD Plan is subject to certain provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The LTD Plan consists of two parts: (1) a group long-term disability policy (the “Group Policy”) that pays, after a 180-day elimination period, 60 percent of eligible compensation, which initially consists of base salary, bonus and incentive compensation (“Eligible Compensation”), capped at $10,000 per month, to a specific age, which initially is age 65 (the “Limiting Age”), the entire cost of which is paid by the Company; and (2) an individual disability insurance policy (the “Individual Policy”) that pays 75 percent of Eligible Compensation up to $10,000 per month, to the Limiting Age. We pay 100% of the premium cost required for the Individual Policy for our currently employed executive leadership team which includes all of our NEOs and pay for the first $1,000 of coverage under the Individual Policy for other participants. The right to receive any payment under the Group Policy will cease upon termination of employment. The Individual Policy is portable; the participant may continue coverage by paying the full premiums after termination of employment. The total maximum benefit amount for the combination of the two parts of the LTD Plan is $20,000 per month or $240,000 per year. Life Insurance We paid for life insurance with a payout to designated beneficiaries on death for Mr. Geller in the amount of two times his base salary (up to a maximum of $1.5 million) and for each other currently employed NEO the Company pays for life insurance in the amount of one times their base salary (up to a maximum of $750,000). 401(k) Plan Our NEOs are eligible to participate in our 401(k) Plan on the same basis as our other associates. Participants in the 401(k) Plan may contribute a portion of their compensation to the plan each year. Our highly compensated employees, including the NEOs, may be subject to limits on the amounts of their contributions to the plan that are not applicable to non-highly compensated employees to the extent required by applicable tax law. We determine on an annual basis whether to make matching employer contributions, which will not exceed six percent of the participant’s eligible compensation, or such other limits that are imposed by applicable tax law. Any employer contributions that we made to the 401(k) Plan accounts of the NEOs for 2025 are shown in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table below. Deferred Compensation Our NEOs and approximately 1,375 other associates are eligible to participate in the MVW Deferred Compensation Plan. In addition, some of our NEOs have balances under the Marriott International, Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (“Marriott Deferred Compensation Plan”), in which many of them were able to participate prior to the Company’s spin-off from Marriott International, Inc. in 2011 (the “Spin-Off”). We provide the MVW Deferred Compensation Plan because the CPC wishes to permit certain of our employees to defer the obligation to pay taxes on compensation and bonuses that they are entitled to receive. The MVW Deferred Compensation Plan permits them to do this, while also receiving a fixed rate of return (determined annually prior to the start of the plan year) or a rate of return based on various market-based investment alternatives on deferred amounts. We believe that providing this benefit is important as a retention and recruitment tool as many of the companies with which we compete for executive talent provide a similar plan for their senior employees. Under the terms of the MVW Deferred Compensation Plan, each participant may elect to defer receipt of up to 80 percent of his or her base salary, bonuses, non-equity incentive plan compensation and/or commissions until such future date as he or she elects in accordance with the terms of the MVW Deferred Compensation Plan. The Company may credit participants’ accounts with additional amounts, referred to as employer credits, in an amount equal to any matching contributions that the participant did not receive for a year under the 401(k) Plan, or any successor plan thereto, due to the participant’s election to defer amounts under the MVW Deferred Compensation Plan. In addition, the Company may, in its sole discretion, credit participants’ accounts with additional employer credits which will vest at a rate of 25 percent per year on the first four anniversaries of the date the discretionary employer credit was allocated to the participant’s account (unless otherwise determined), provided that the participant remains in continued service with the Company. On a participant’s separation from service, unvested discretionary employer credits are generally forfeited. Upon a change in control of the Company, a participant’s death, or becoming an approved retiree, all employer credits will immediately vest in full. A participant in the MVW Deferred Compensation Plan may elect to receive his or her deferred amounts and vested employer credits in a lump sum or in installments over five, ten, fifteen or twenty years at either a separation from service or upon any of the first five anniversaries of a separation from service. Alternatively, a participant may elect to receive his or her deferred amounts and vested employer credits in a lump sum in January of a specified year, so long as employer credits are deferred for at least four years and all other amounts are deferred for at least three years. The Company has adopted a special grantor trust to provide protection, up to the amounts set aside in the trust, against the risk of shifting corporate priorities, the Company’s inability to pay benefits, and/or the occurrence of a change in control. The trust does not protect against the risk of corporate insolvency. To enable the Company to meet its financial commitment under the plan, the Company, by way of the established trust, has acquired a Corporate Owned Life Insurance policy on the lives of certain participants in the MVW Deferred Compensation Plan, the proceeds of which are payable to the trust. Participants whose lives are insured consent to this insurance and understand this insurance will be owned by and payable to the trust.

For 2025, participants were able to select a fixed rate of return of 3.5% or a rate of return based on various market-based investment alternatives, such as mutual funds with various investment profiles, and were also able to select such a rate for their existing account balances. Earnings under the MVW Deferred Compensation Plan or the Marriott Deferred Compensation Plan that were credited at a fixed rate of interest in excess of 120% of the applicable federal long-term rate are reported in the Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings column of the Summary Compensation Table. Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) is intended to provide the Company’s eligible employees, including our NEOs, with an opportunity to participate in the Company’s success by permitting them to acquire an ownership interest in the Company through periodic payroll deductions that will be applied towards the purchase of shares of our Common Stock at a five percent discount from the average of the high and low stock price on the last day of the offering period. Change in Control Arrangements Our NEOs are participants in the Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation Change in Control Severance Plan (the “Change in Control Plan”). However, pursuant to Mr. Avril’s employment agreement, he only participates in such plan if it provides benefits that are more favorable than provided under his employment agreement. Adoption of the Change in Control Plan was intended to maximize stockholder value by retaining key executives through the closing of a Change in Control (as defined below), and to motivate executives to drive business success independent of the possible occurrence of a Change in Control. All of our executive officers are eligible to participate in the Change in Control Plan. Under the Change in Control Plan, the receipt of benefits is subject to a “double trigger,” under which benefits, including the acceleration of vesting and/or settlement of equity and cash awards, are available only if the participant’s employment is terminated in connection with the Change in Control unless the awards are not assumed in connection with the Change in Control, in which case a single trigger applies. A “change in control” occurs if there is a consummation of certain acquisition, merger, sale, liquidation or similar events or there is a change in a majority of Board members as described in the Change in Control Plan (a “Change in Control”). Under the terms of the Change in Control Plan, and subject to the conditions thereof, an executive officer who participates in the Change in Control Plan will receive severance benefits if his or her employment is terminated involuntarily by the Company or any of its affiliates, other than due to Cause, Total Disability (as those terms are defined in the Change in Control Plan), or death, or is terminated by the executive officer for Good Reason (as defined in the Change in Control Plan), in each case, within two years following a Change in Control of the Company (a “Termination”). Provided that the executive officer executes a waiver and release of claims in favor of the Company, he or she will be entitled to the following severance benefits: (1) a cash severance payment, payable in a lump sum, equal to two times (or three times, in the case of the President and CEO of the Company) the sum of his or her Base Salary and Target Bonus (as those terms are defined in the Change in Control Plan); (2) twenty-four months (or thirty-six months, in the case of the President and CEO of the Company) of Company-subsidized medical, dental and life-insurance coverage for such executive officer and his or her spouse and dependents, at the same benefit level as provided to the executive immediately prior to the Change in Control, or the cash equivalent of the present value of such coverage; (3) any unpaid bonus as of the Termination date for any previously-completed fiscal year; and (4) a pro-rata target bonus for the fiscal year in which the executive officer’s employment is terminated. In addition to receipt of the severance benefits described above, upon Termination, an executive officer’s stock options and other equity-related compensation will be treated as follows: (1) all restricted stock, RSUs or other share-based awards in a form substantially similar to restricted stock or RSUs will become fully vested as of the Termination date; (2) all unvested or unexercisable options, SARs or other share-based awards in a form substantially similar to options or SARs will become fully vested and exercisable until the earlier of the end of (a) their original term or (b) 12 months (or in the case of certain approved retirees, five years) following the Termination date; and (3) all of the executive officer’s other cash performance units or other share-based awards subject to performance-based vesting criteria will be deemed to be fully vested as of the Termination date and will be paid immediately thereafter based on a presumed achievement of target levels of performance. However, in the event that no substitute awards, shares or other equity interests are available as of the Change in Control, the participant will become fully vested in his or her awards as of the Change in Control date, and all awards will be immediately distributed or paid, or, in the case of options and SARs, will become fully exercisable. In the discretion of the CPC, distributions may be made in the form of a cash payment equal in amount to the value of the shares distributed or, in the case of options or SARs, the intrinsic value of such awards. Any payment otherwise due under the Change in Control Plan will be reduced if necessary so that the payment will not constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. The Change in Control Plan does not provide for a gross-up of excise taxes on such “parachute payments.”

Clawbacks
Clawbacks Under our clawback policy, in the event that the Company is required to restate its financial results due to material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws as generally applied, except in limited circumstances, the Company will seek to recoup incentive-based compensation that is or was erroneously granted, earned, or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a financial reporting measure on or after May 11, 2023. Compensation received up to three years prior to the restatement is subject to potential recoupment under the policy. In addition, the Company maintains an Other Conduct Clawback Policy whereby the Board may recoup compensation (including time-based equity awards) received by an NEO who has engaged in conduct that violates our Business Conduct Guide or in willful misconduct or fraud that causes harm to the Company. Compensation received up to three years prior to the restatement or conduct and after the date of adoption of the policy is subject to potential recoupment under the policy. Under the Equity Plans we have the authority to limit or eliminate the ability of any executive to exercise options and SARs or to receive a distribution of our Common Stock under RSUs or other stock awards (whether time- or performance-based) if the executive engaged in criminal or tortious conduct that was injurious to us or engaged in competition with us.

Employment Agreements
Employment Agreements Historically, the Company has not entered into employment agreements with its executive officers. In February 2026, in connection with the appointment of Mr. Avril as CEO and Michael A. Flaskey as President and Chief Operating Officer, we entered into employment agreements with each of them. The agreements provide clarity regarding the terms and conditions of their employment, including provisions for termination with and without cause and upon a change in control, clawbacks, and certain restrictive covenants, including post-employment non-competition provisions, and are expected to help support an orderly leadership transition.

SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE
| (2) The value reported for Stock Awards and Option/SAR awards is the aggregate grant date fair value of the awards granted in the fiscal year as determined in accordance with accounting guidance for share-based payments, although we recognize the expense of the awards for financial reporting purposes over the service period of the awards. The assumptions for making the valuation determinations are set forth in Footnote 17 “Share-Based Compensation” of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2025 Annual Report. For additional information on these awards, see the Grants of Plan-Based Awards for Fiscal Year 2025 table below. The value reported for the Performance Units granted in 2025 is the grant date value assuming performance at target, which was the most probable outcome of the performance conditions on the grant date. The values of the Performance Units granted in 2025 at the grant date assuming the maximum level of performance conditions is achieved are: Mr. Avril, NA; Mr. Geller, $6,999,991; Mr. Marino, $2,099,972; Mr. Miller, $2,000,033; Mr. Hunter, $1,400,023; and Ms. Gustafson, $899,952. |

Grants of Plan-Based Awards for Fiscal Year 2025
| (1) “Bonus” refers to our Bonus Plan in which our NEOs, other than Mr. Avril, participated. “Performance,” “SARs” and “RSUs” refers to Performance Units, SARs and RSUs, respectively, granted under the 2020 Equity Plan. |
Grants of Plan-Based Awards for Fiscal Year 2025
| (2) “Grant Date” applies to equity awards reported in the “Estimated Possible Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plan Awards,” “All Other Stock Awards” and “All Other Options/SAR Awards” columns. The CPC approved grants of annual Performance Units, SARs and RSUs for the NEOs (other than Mr. Avril) on February 19, 2025, and the grant date of these awards was March 4, 2025 consistent with the Company’s Equity Grant Policy. The CPC approved grants to Mr. Avril of annual non-employee director share awards on December 5, 2024, and the grant date of these awards was May 14, 2025 consistent with the Company’s Equity Grant Policy. The CPC approved grants to Mr. Avril in connection with his appointment as interim President and CEO on November 9, 2025 and the grant date of these awards was November 13, 2025. |

| (3) These columns are intended to include potential payouts corresponding to the achievement of the threshold, target and maximum performance objectives under the Bonus Plan. |
Grants of Plan-Based Awards for Fiscal Year 2025
| (4) The awards were granted with an exercise or base price equal to the average of the high and low stock price on the NYSE on the date of grant. |
Grants of Plan-Based Awards for Fiscal Year 2025
| (5) The value reported for Equity Incentive Plan Awards, Stock Awards and Option/SAR Awards is the aggregate grant date fair value of the awards granted in 2025 as determined in accordance with accounting standards for share-based payments. The value reported for the Performance Units is the grant date value assuming performance at the target level, which was the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the grant date. The assumptions for making the valuation determinations are set forth in Footnote 17 “Share-Based Compensation” of the Notes to our annual Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2025 Annual Report. |
Grants of Plan-Based Awards for Fiscal Year 2025
The Grants of Plan-Based Awards table reports the potential dollar value of cash incentive awards under the Bonus Plan at their threshold, target and maximum achievement levels, and the number and grant date fair value of Performance Units, SARs, RSUs and Non-Employee Director Share Awards granted under the 2020 Equity Plan, in each case granted to each NEO during the 2025 fiscal year. For cash incentives, this table reports the range of potential amounts that could have been earned by the executive under the Bonus Plans for 2025, whereas the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column in the Summary Compensation Table reports the actual value earned by the executive for 2025. Annual RSU and SAR grants under the 2020 Equity Plan typically vest in four equal annual increments beginning approximately a year after the grant date, contingent on continued employment. Mr. Avril’s November 2025 RSU and SAR awards vest on the earlier of one year from the grant date or termination of employment. Even when vested, an executive could lose the right to exercise or receive a distribution of any outstanding stock awards if the executive’s employment terminated due to serious misconduct as defined in the Equity Plans, if it is determined that the executive has engaged in competition or has engaged in criminal conduct or other behavior that was actually or potentially harmful or if the executive receives erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation in the event that we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to our material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws. These awards do not accrue or pay cash dividends and do not bear voting rights until they vest (in the case of RSUs) or are exercised (in the case of SARs) and shares are issued to the grantee. Performance Units represent the right to receive shares of our Common Stock at the end of a performance period, which with respect to the Performance Units granted in 2025 began January 1, 2025 and will end on December 31, 2027, contingent on continued employment through such date. The number of shares that will be received following the end of the performance period will be based on the Company’s achievement over the period with respect to specified performance objectives and can range from zero to two times the number of Performance Units granted. Performance Units will be forfeited if the NEO engages in competition or acts that are or potentially are injurious to the Company’s operations, financial condition or business reputation during the performance period or if the executive receives erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation in the event that we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to our material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws; the NEOs are also prohibited from soliciting any of our employees to leave our employment during the period from the grant date until the first anniversary of the termination of the officer’s employment for any reason. Performance Units do not accrue or pay cash dividends and do not bear voting rights until they vest and shares are issued to the grantee. For information regarding treatment of the equity awards upon a termination of employment, see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation for Fiscal Year 2025
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation for Fiscal Year 2025 The following table discloses contributions, earnings, distributions and balances under the MVW Deferred Compensation Plan and the Marriott Deferred Compensation Plan for the 2025 fiscal year. Our executives ceased to be eligible to make further contributions under the Marriott Deferred Compensation Plan as of the Spin-Off. We agreed to reimburse Marriott International for any payments made to our employees under the Marriott Deferred Compensation Plan. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts relate to contributions, earnings, distributions and balances under the MVW Deferred Compensation Plan.

All of these amounts that are attributable to 2025 salary are reported in the Summary Compensation Table, and all of the amounts that are attributable to 2024 non-equity incentive plan compensation were included in the 2024 Summary Compensation Table. |

| (5) These amounts consist of the aggregate notional earnings during 2025 of each NEO’s account in the MVW Deferred Compensation Plan or the Marriott Deferred Compensation Plan. Such earnings are reported in the Summary Compensation Table only to the extent that they were credited at a fixed rate of interest in excess of 120% of the applicable federal long-term rate. The fixed rate of return in the MVW Deferred Compensation Plan and the Marriott Deferred Compensation Plan was less than 120% of the applicable federal long-term rate; thus, there was no excess return in 2025. |

| (6) Of these amounts, the following were previously reported in the Summary Compensation Table of previously filed proxy statements: Mr. Avril, $0; Mr. Geller, $1,426,778; Mr. Marino, $93,659; Mr. Miller, $1,262,451; Mr. Hunter, $234,542; and Ms. Gustafson, $0. |

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation for Fiscal Year 2025
For 2025, we credited amounts subject to the fixed rate of return in participant plan accounts with a rate of return of 3.5%. For 2025, Marriott International credited participant plan accounts with a rate of return of 3.75%, determined largely based on Marriott International’s estimated long-term cost of borrowing. To the extent that either of these fixed rates exceeds 120% of the applicable federal long-term rate, the excess is reported in the Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings column of the Summary Compensation Table. The terms of the MVW Deferred Compensation Plan are described above under “Deferred Compensation Plan.” Under the Marriott Deferred Compensation Plan, the NEOs could defer the receipt of up to 80% of their salary, bonus, non-equity incentive plan compensation and/or commissions, which amounts were immediately vested. In addition, the NEOs were eligible to receive a discretionary match or other discretionary contributions, which were vested when made (other than discretionary contributions made for any year prior to 2009, which vested 25 percent per year for each year that the executive remained employed by Marriott International or us), all of which have vested. Because our executives ceased to be eligible to make further contributions under the Marriott Deferred Compensation Plan as of the Spin-Off, no match or discretionary company contribution was received by any of the NEOs for 2025. Our NEOs can receive a distribution of the vested portion of their Marriott Deferred Compensation Plan accounts upon termination of employment (including retirement or disability) or, in the case of deferrals by the executive (and related earnings), upon a specified future date while still employed (an “in-service distribution”), as elected by the executive. Each plan year’s deferrals have a separate distribution election. Distributions payable upon termination of employment are payable as: (i) a lump sum cash payment; (ii) a series of annual cash installments payable over a designated term not to exceed twenty years; or (iii) five annual cash payments beginning on the sixth January following termination of employment, in each case as elected by the executive. In the case of amounts of $10,000 or less, or when no election regarding the form of distribution was made, the distribution is made in a lump sum. The Spin-Off did not by itself trigger a distribution upon termination of employment under the Marriott Deferred Compensation Plan, and continued employment with the Company is treated as employment for purposes of the Marriott Deferred Compensation Plan.

| (2) Upon termination with cause, no benefits would be payable. In addition, there are no contractual rights providing for payment upon a termination without cause other than in connection with a change in control. Any such payments would be based upon negotiation at the time of such termination. At the time of Mr. Geller’s termination, he entered into a separation agreement, and the amounts herein reflect payments made to Mr. Geller pursuant to the terms thereof, including (a) $5,083,486, representing two times his 2025 base salary plus target bonus and (b) $1,286,301, representing his 2025 bonus award at target prorated through November 10, 2025. MVW Equity Awards reflect the treatment of outstanding restricted stock units, performance shares and stock appreciation rights previously issued to Mr. Geller based upon the fair market value on November 10, 2025. |

| severance payment, payable in a lump sum, equal to two times (or three times, in the case of the CEO of the Company; or zero times, in the case of the interim CEO of the Company) the sum of his or her Base Salary and Target Bonus; (2) twenty-four months (or thirty-six months, in the case of the CEO of the Company) of Company-subsidized medical, dental and life-insurance coverage for such NEO and his or her spouse and dependents, at the same benefit level as provided to the executive immediately prior to the Change in Control, or the cash equivalent of the present value of such coverage (“Benefit Coverage”); (3) any unpaid salary or bonus as of the Termination date for any previously-completed fiscal year (“Earned Amounts”); (4) a pro-rata bonus for the fiscal year in which the NEO’s employment is terminated assuming achievement at the target level of performance; (5) vesting of all restricted stock, RSUs or other share-based awards in a form substantially similar to restricted stock or RSUs as of the Termination date; (6) vesting of all unvested or unexercisable options, SARs or other share-based awards in a form substantially similar to options or SARs, which will be exercisable until the earlier of the end of their original term or 12 months (or in the case of certain approved retirees, five years) following the Termination date; and (7) the vesting and immediate payment of all other cash performance units or other share-based awards subject to performance-based vesting criteria based on a presumed achievement of target levels of performance. No amounts are shown for Earned Amounts as we have assumed there would be no such amounts unpaid on the last day of the fiscal year. Certain terms in this footnote are defined above under “Change in Control Arrangements.” |
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
| (4) Upon retirement after either reaching age 55 and completing ten years of service, disability or death, the NEO would be entitled to a pro-rata bonus based on target achievement under the 2025 Bonus Plan. The amount shown with respect to annual bonus for each NEO is the actual payout amount for 2025. See Note 3 for a description of annual bonus amounts payable following a Change in Control. |
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
| (5) Consists of the Benefit Coverage payable under the Change in Control Plan. |
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
| (6) Upon retirement or permanent disability (as defined in the pertinent plan), an NEO may continue to vest in and receive distributions under outstanding stock awards for the remainder of their vesting period and may exercise options and SARs for up to five years in accordance with the awards’ original terms; provided however that upon permanent disability, the Performance Units will immediately vest assuming achievement at the target level of performance. Annual stock awards provide that if the executive retires within one year after the grant date, the executive forfeits a portion of the stock award proportional to the number of days remaining within that one-year period. For these purposes, retirement means a termination of employment with retirement approval of the CPC by an executive who had attained age 55 with 10 years of service. In all cases, however, the CPC or its designee has the authority to revoke approved retiree status if an executive’s employment terminated for serious misconduct or was subsequently found to have engaged in competition or engaged in criminal conduct or other behavior that was actually or potentially harmful to the Company. An NEO who dies as an employee or approved retiree would immediately vest in his or her options, SARs and other stock awards. As of December 31, 2025, Mr. Miller, and Mr. Hunter met the age and service conditions for retirement eligibility. The value of Performance Units vesting upon retirement is calculated based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of December 31, 2025; the value of Performance Units vesting upon disability or death is calculated assuming achievement at the target level of performance. See Note 3 for a description of treatment of outstanding equity awards following a Change in Control. Mr. Avril’s awards are governed by his award agreements. |
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
| (7) Consists of the value of unvested employer credits under the MVW Deferred Compensation Plan. The Company may credit participants’ accounts with employer credits that will vest at a rate of 25% per year on the first four anniversaries of the date the discretionary employer credit was allocated to the participant’s account (unless otherwise determined), provided that the participant remains in continued service with the Company. Upon a change in control of the Company or a participant’s death or retirement after reaching age 55 and completing ten years of service, all employer credits will immediately vest in full. Although the Marriott Deferred Compensation Plan also provided for employer credits, no NEO has unvested employer credits under the Marriott Deferred Compensation Plan. |
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
The benefits reported in the table and narrative above are in addition to benefits available prior to the occurrence of any termination of employment, including benefits available under then-exercisable SARs and options and vested MVW Deferred Compensation Plan balances, and benefits available generally to salaried employees such as benefits under the 401(k) Plan, group medical and dental plans, life and accidental death insurance plans, disability programs and health and dependent care spending accounts. Amounts actually received if any of the NEOs cease to be employed will vary based on factors such as the timing during the year of any such event, the price of the Company’s stock, the NEO’s age, and any changes to our benefit arrangements and policies. We may determine to provide additional or different benefits in connection with any executive’s termination.
CEO PAY RATIO
CEO PAY RATIO Under rules adopted pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, we are required to calculate and disclose the total compensation paid to our median employee, as well as the ratio of the total compensation paid to the median employee as compared to the total compensation paid to our Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) who is our CEO. Under the relevant rules, we are required to identify the median employee by use of a consistently applied compensation measure. We chose to utilize compensation rules that were consistent with the Summary Compensation Table. We did not perform adjustments to the compensation paid to part-time employees to calculate what they would have been paid on a full-time basis. As of December 31, 2025, the date for the determination of the median employee, we had approximately 21,100 employees in 25 countries for purposes of this determination, however, the vast majority of these employees were in North America. In identifying the median employee, we excluded workers in 16 countries totaling 991 associates (approximately 4.7% of our workforce) as permitted by the de minimis exemption rules, given the small portion of the total employee population in these countries.

We excluded the following number of workers from the following countries in the identification of the median employee.

CEO PAY RATIO
After applying our methodology and excluding the employees listed above, we identified the median employee. Our median employee compensation as calculated using Summary Compensation Table requirements was $49,290. During 2025, two individuals served as the Company’s CEO. Mr. Geller served as CEO from January 1, 2025 through November 10, 2025, and Mr. Avril served as CEO from November 10, 2025 through December 31, 2025. For purposes of this pay ratio disclosure, the Company annualized the compensation of Mr. Avril, the individual serving as CEO at fiscal year-end, as permitted by SEC guidance. Accordingly, the annual total compensation of Mr. Avril was calculated by annualizing his base salary for the full year. Compensation elements that are not annualizable, including equity awards and all other compensation, were not annualized. This resulted in annualized 2025 compensation of $4,879,032 for Mr. Avril. Therefore, our CEO to median employee pay ratio is 99:1. Note that the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios. This information is being provided for compliance purposes. Neither the CPC nor management of the Company used the pay ratio measure in making compensation decisions.

PAY VS. PERFORMANCE
PAY VS. PERFORMANCE Under rules adopted pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, we are required to disclose pay versus performance for our PEO and the other NEOs. Under the relevant rules, we are required to provide (i) the compensation actually paid to these individuals compared to the Summary Compensation Table, (ii) the total stockholder return (“TSR”) for the Company and chosen peer group, calculated against an initial investment value of $100, (iii) our net income and (iv) another selected Company measure. The table below represents each of these requirements, beginning with fiscal year 2021. The Company utilized the S&P Composite 1500 Hotels, Resorts & Cruise TSR Index, for the peer group. This index has been utilized historically in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K in connection with the required performance graph and most closely aligns with our line of business. Adjusted EBITDA, as previously defined, was chosen as the Company-selected financial measure as it is an important indicator of the Company’s operating performance. It is also a measure of our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, expand the business, and return cash to the stockholders. As it relates to compensation decisions, Adjusted EBITDA allows for period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing core operations before the impact of excluded items. The CPC establishes goals that are designed to maintain high standards that are achievable but not certain to be met. The CPC reviews a number of performance metrics when assessing the Company’s performance. However, for compensation decisions, the following metrics are the most important:
PAY VS. PERFORMANCE
| • | Adjusted EBITDA, with its relative importance noted above, used in the short-term incentive program |
PAY VS. PERFORMANCE
| • | Total Revenue, a top line financial measure that captures the business and brand contributions to overall Company financials, used in the short-term incentive program |
PAY VS. PERFORMANCE
| • | Adjusted Return on Invested Capital, a strong driver of free cash flow and important comparator to other companies, used in the long-term incentive program |
PAY VS. PERFORMANCE
| • | Adjusted earnings per share, aligns the Company’s long-term incentive program with stockholder expectations while promoting sustained performance of the Company over both the shorter- and longer-term, used in the long-term incentive program |

PAY VS. PERFORMANCE
| 1 | Compensation actually paid is calculated starting with the total compensation as reported in the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”), and then the SCT value of restricted stock and units (including performance-based awards) plus SAR awards are deducted. The amount equal to the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year or awards granted in any prior fiscal year that fail to meet the applicable vesting conditions during the covered fiscal year are then deducted. Added to the calculation are: fair value, as of year-end, of awards granted in the first year that are outstanding and unvested; the change in fair value from the prior to current years for awards granted in prior fiscal years that are outstanding and unvested; and the change in fair value as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior fiscal year) for awards granted in any prior fiscal year for which all applicable vesting conditions were satisfied by the end of the covered fiscal year. The fair value of awards that are subject to performance conditions are based on the most probable outcome at the end of the covered fiscal year. |
