Additional Information and Where to Find It
This Current Report on Form 8-K is not a recommendation, an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell ordinary shares of Playa or any other securities. This Current Report on Form 8-K may be deemed to be solicitation material in respect of the EGM Proposals (defined below). Playa intends to file with the SEC a definitive proxy statement in connection with an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of Playa, at which the Playa shareholders will vote on certain proposed resolutions (the “EGM Proposals”) in connection with the transactions with Hyatt Hotels Corporation (“Hyatt”) referenced in the exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and will mail the definitive proxy statement and a proxy card to each shareholder entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting. SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT (INCLUDING ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) WHEN SUCH DOCUMENTS BECOME AVAILABLE, AS THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT HOLDERS OF PLAYA’S SECURITIES SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING DECISION. Shareholders can obtain these documents when they are filed and become available free of charge from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Copies of the documents filed with the SEC by Playa will be available free of charge on Playa’s website, investors.playaresorts.com, or by contacting Playa’s investor relations department at [email protected].
Participants in the Solicitation
Playa, its directors and executive officers and other members of its management and employees, as well as Hyatt and its directors and executive officers, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from Playa’s shareholders in connection with the EGM Proposals. Information about Playa’s directors and executive officers and their ownership of Playa’s ordinary shares is set forth in the proxy statement for Playa’s 2024 annual general meeting of shareholders, which was filed with the SEC on April 22, 2024. Information about Hyatt’s directors and executive officers is set forth in the proxy statement for Hyatt’s 2024 annual meeting of shareholders, which was filed with the SEC on April 4, 2024. Shareholders may obtain additional information regarding the direct and indirect interests of the participants in the solicitation of proxies in connection with the EGM Proposals, including the interests of Playa’s directors and executive officers in the transaction, which may be different than those of Playa’s shareholders generally, by reading the proxy statement and other relevant documents regarding the transaction which will be filed with the SEC.
Forward-Looking Statements
The exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements,” as defined by federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements reflect Playa’s current expectations and projections about future events at the time, and thus involve uncertainty and risk. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "will," "could," "would," "should," "may," "plan," "estimate," "intend," "predict," "potential," "continue," and the negatives of these words and other similar expressions generally identify forward looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the proposed
transaction, including the benefits of the proposed transaction; filings and approvals relating to the proposed transaction; the expected timing of the completion of the proposed transaction; the ability to complete the proposed transaction considering the various closing conditions; and the accuracy of any assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including uncertainties as to the timing of the tender offer and other proposed transactions; uncertainties as to how many of Playa’s shareholders will tender their shares in the offer or approve the resolutions to be solicited at the extraordinary general meeting of Playa’s shareholders; the possibility that various closing conditions for the proposed transaction may not be satisfied or waived, including that a governmental entity may prohibit, delay or refuse to grant approval for the consummation of the proposed transaction; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the purchase agreement with Hyatt; the effects of the proposed transaction (or the announcement thereof) on relationships with employees, customers, other business partners or governmental entities; transaction costs; the risk that the proposed transaction will divert management’s attention from Playa’s ongoing business operations; changes in the Company’s businesses during the period between now and the closing; risks associated with litigation; and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in documents Playa files with the SEC, including those described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Playa’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2025, as such factors may be updated from time to time in Playa’s periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, as well as the Schedule 14D-9 filed by Playa and the proxy statement and other documents to be filed by Playa. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this release and in Playa's filings with the SEC. While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. Playa disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes after the date of this communication, except as required by applicable law. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based only on information currently available to us (or to third parties making the forward-looking statements).
