On November 24, 2015, Intrawest Resorts Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), through its wholly owned indirect subsidiaries, Intrawest U.S. Holdings, Inc. and Intrawest ULC, entered into a definitive agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to sell Intrawest Resort Club Group (“IRCG”), its vacation club business, to Diamond Resorts Corporation (the “Purchaser”) and Diamond Resorts International, Inc. (together with the Purchaser, “Diamond”) for a purchase price of approximately $85 million, subject to certain closing and post-closing adjustments (the “IRCG Transaction”).  IRCG is engaged in the business of developing, selling interests in, and managing (a) Club Intrawest, a points-based timeshare vacation club at certain locations in the United States, Canada and Mexico, (b) a fractional timeshare program with properties located in Zihuatanejo, Mexico, and (c) an internal exchange program for members of the vacation club operated through Extraordinary Escapes Corporation (the “Business”).

The purchase price will consist of cash consideration and the assumption of certain liabilities, including certain lease obligations and certain other continuing contract obligations. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities of the parties. Completion of the IRCG Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions for transactions of this type, including certain third-party consents.

At the closing of the IRCG Transaction, Diamond will acquire substantially all of the assets used in operation of the Business, including, but not limited to, certain management contracts, accounts receivable, notes and other amounts receivable, certain real property, the resort points available for sale, and all of the equity interests in certain wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries of the Company. The Purchase Agreement contains customary termination rights of the parties and allows any party to terminate the Purchase Agreement if closing has not occurred by March 31, 2016.
