Our registration of the resale of shares of Class A Common Stock does not mean that the Selling Shareholders will sell any of the securities offered hereby.

We provide more information about how the shares of Class A Common Stock may be sold in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 17.

We will not receive proceeds from the resale of the shares of Class A Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders.

We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares of Class A Common Stock. The Selling Shareholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their respective sales of the shares of Class A Common Stock.

INVESTING IN OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK INVOLVES RISKS. SEE THE “RISK FACTORS” ON PAGE 8 OF THIS PROSPECTUS AND ANY SIMILAR SECTION CONTAINED IN ANY APPLICABLE PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT CONCERNING FACTORS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE INVESTING IN OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) using a “shelf” registration process. By using a shelf registration statement, the Selling Shareholders named in this prospectus (including, if applicable, the donees, pledgees, transferees, assignees, designees, distributees or other successors-in-interest who later come to hold any of the interest of any such Selling Shareholder in the securities registered hereby other than through a public sale) may, from time to time, sell up to 10,932,790 shares of our Class A Common Stock in one or more offerings as described in this prospectus. To the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular offering of such securities by the Selling Shareholders, we or the Selling Shareholders will provide a prospectus supplement to this prospectus that contains specific information about the securities being offered and sold and the specific terms of that offering. To the extent permitted under applicable law, we and the Selling Shareholders may also authorize one or more free writing prospectuses that may contain material information relating to these offerings. Any such prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus with respect to that offering.

Neither we nor the Selling Shareholders take any responsibility for, nor provide any assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. Neither we nor the Selling Shareholders will make an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement to this prospectus is accurate only as of the date on its respective cover, that the information appearing in any applicable free writing prospectus is accurate only as of the date of that free writing prospectus, and that any information incorporated by reference is accurate only as of the date of the document incorporated by reference, unless we indicate otherwise. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. This prospectus incorporates by reference, and any prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus may contain and incorporate by reference, market data and industry statistics and forecasts that are based on independent industry publications and other publicly available information. Although we believe these sources are reliable, neither we nor the Selling Shareholders guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information and neither we nor the Selling Shareholders have independently verified this information. In addition, the market and industry data and forecasts that may be included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or any applicable free writing prospectus may involve estimates, assumptions and other risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus, and under similar headings in other documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this prospectus, including any statements regarding our results of operations, financial position, growth strategy, seasonality, business strategy, policies, and approach are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, in some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future results, performance, or achievements, and one should avoid placing undue reliance on such statements. Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to us. Such beliefs and assumptions may or may not prove to be correct. Additionally, such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to various factors, including, but not limited to:

There may be additional risks that we consider immaterial or which are unknown. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks.

The forward-looking statements in this prospectus are based upon information available to us as of the date of this prospectus, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements and our actual future results, levels of activity, performance, and achievements may be materially different from what we expect.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus, whether as a result of any new information, future events, or otherwise.

We file reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. The SEC maintains a website that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information about issuers, such as us, who file electronically with the SEC. The address of that website is http://www.sec.gov.

Our website address is http://www.vacasa.com. The information on our website, however, is not, and should not be deemed to be, a part of this prospectus.

This prospectus and any prospectus supplement are part of a registration statement that we filed with the SEC and do not contain all of the information in the registration statement. The full registration statement may be obtained from the SEC or us, as provided below. Other documents establishing the terms of our Class A Common Stock are or may be filed as exhibits to the registration statement or documents incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

Investment in our Class A Common Stock involves risks. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should carefully consider the risk factors incorporated by reference to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, and the risk factors and other information contained in any applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus. The occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our securities to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also carefully read the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” (or any similarly titled section) included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K.

All of the shares of Class A Common Stock offered by the Selling Shareholders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Shareholders for their respective accounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales.

The Selling Shareholders will pay any underwriting fees, discounts, selling commissions, stock transfer taxes and certain legal expenses incurred by such Selling Shareholders in disposing of their shares of Class A Common Stock, and we will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of such securities covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, Nasdaq listing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accountants.

The following description of our capital stock and certain provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), may not contain all the information you should consider before investing in our Class A Common Stock. This description is summarized from, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, which have been publicly filed with the SEC, and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. See “Where You Can Find More Information; Incorporation by Reference.” Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as applicable.

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 1,000,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, 500,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), 30,000,000 shares of Class G common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Class G Common Stock” and, together with the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, the “Common Stock”), and 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”).

Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to stockholders for their vote or approval, except as required by applicable law.

Holders of our Class A Common Stock and our Class B Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to stockholders for their vote or approval. The holders of our Class G Common Stock are not entitled to vote (except as required by applicable law).

Certain stockholders have significant influence over the management and affairs of the Company. This concentration of ownership and voting power could delay, defer or even prevent an acquisition by a third party or other change of control of the Company and may make some transactions more difficult or impossible without the support of such stockholders, even if such events are in the best interests of minority stockholders.

Our Class G Common Stock is non-voting and is not entitled to any votes on any matter that is submitted to a vote of our stockholders, except as required by Delaware law. Delaware law would permit holders of our Class G Common Stock to vote, with one vote per share, on a matter if we were to:

As a result, in these limited instances, the holders of a majority of our Class G Common Stock could defeat any amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation. For example, if a proposed amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation provided for our Class G Common Stock to rank junior to our Class A Common Stock or our Class B Common Stock with respect to (i) any dividend or distribution, (ii) the distribution of proceeds were we to be acquired, or (iii) any other right, Delaware law would require the separate vote of the holders of our Class G Common Stock, with each share of our Class G Common Stock entitled to one vote per share. In this instance, the holders of a majority of our Class G Common Stock could defeat that amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation.

The holders of our Class A Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds.

The holders of our Class B Common Stock and our Class G Common Stock will not have any right to receive dividends other than stock dividends consisting of shares of our Class B Common Stock and our Class G Common Stock, respectively, paid proportionally with respect to each outstanding share of the applicable class of our Common Stock, in connection with a stock dividend declared and paid on our Class A Common Stock. Stock dividends with respect to each class of our Common Stock may only be paid with shares of our Common Stock of the same class.

The holders of our Class A Common Stock, our Class B Common Stock and our Class G Common Stock will not be entitled to receive economic consideration for their shares in a form that is different from, or in an amount that is in excess of the per share amount payable to, the other holders of the applicable class of our Common Stock in the event of a merger, consolidation or other business combination requiring the approval of our stockholders or a tender or exchange offer to acquire any shares of our Common Stock; provided that holders of our Class B Common Stock will not be entitled to receive consideration in the form of cash or property (other than stock consideration) in connection with any such merger, consolidation or other business combination.

Upon our liquidation or dissolution, the holders of all classes of our Common Stock are entitled to their respective par value, and the holders of our Class A Common Stock will then be entitled to share ratably in those of its assets that are legally available for distribution to stockholders after payment of liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any holders of our Preferred Stock then outstanding. Other than their par value, the holders of our Class B Common Stock and our Class G Common Stock will not have any right to receive a distribution upon our liquidation or dissolution.

Subject to the terms of the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Vacasa Holdings LLC, dated as of December 6, 2021, the members of Vacasa Holdings (other than Vacasa, Inc.) may, from time to time, cause Vacasa Holdings to redeem any or all of their vested common units of Vacasa Holdings (“OpCo Units”) in exchange for, at our election (subject to certain exceptions), either cash (based on the market price for a share of our Class A Common Stock) or shares of our Class A Common Stock. At our election, such transactions may be effectuated via a direct exchange of our Class A Common Stock by us for the redeemed OpCo Unit. In the event that OpCo Units are redeemed (whether for cash or shares of Class A Common Stock), our Certificate of Incorporation provides that we will cause an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock to be retired, which shares of Class B Common Stock may not be reissued.

Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, the shares of our Class G Common Stock issued convert into shares of our Class A Common Stock, in increments of one-third each, when the closing price of our Class A Common Stock on the securities exchange on which they are then listed equals or exceeds certain price thresholds for any 20 days within a 30 trading-day period. The first price threshold is $250.00 per share, the second price threshold is $300.00 per share, and the third price threshold is $350.00 per share (in each case, as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like). Upon the occurrence of the first price threshold, the second price threshold and the third price threshold, the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock that will be issued upon the conversion of the applicable shares of our Class G Common Stock will equal 120,983, 136,105 and 154,253, respectively.

In addition, immediately prior to the closing of any Strategic Transaction (as defined in our Certificate of Incorporation, but primarily including certain change-in-control transactions) that results in all of the holders of our Class A Common Stock having the right to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property of another person, the Class G Common Stock then outstanding will automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock at the Class G Strategic Transaction Ratio (as defined below) and, as a result, will be entitled to share in the cash, securities or other property received by the holders of Class A Common Stock in connection with such Strategic Transaction. The “Class G Strategic Transaction Ratio” is defined as a ratio such that the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of all shares of Class F common stock of the Company, par value of $0.00001 per share (the “Class F Common Stock”), and Class G Common Stock in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, would represent no more than 25% of the sum of (i) the total number of all TPG Pace Class A Shares issued and outstanding upon completion of the TPG Pace IPO (without giving effect to any redemptions in connection with the Closing), plus (ii) the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued or deemed issued or issuable upon the conversion of the shares of Class F Common Stock and Class G Common Stock, plus (iii) unless waived by the holders of a majority of the shares of Class G Common Stock then in issue, the FPA Shares, equal to: (A) the number of shares of Class G Common Stock then outstanding, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Black Scholes per share value of the Class G Common Stock (as determined by a third-party selected by our board of directors) and the denominator of which is the per share value of the Class A Common Stock in the strategic transaction as of immediately prior to the closing of such transaction; provided the fraction shall not exceed 1.

Any shares of Class G Common Stock that remain outstanding on December 6, 2031 will be automatically transferred to Vacasa, Inc. for no consideration and will be retired and cancelled in accordance with our Certificate of Incorporation.

Our Class A Common Stock and our Class B Common Stock are not subject to any conversion rights.

None of our Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class G Common Stock has any pre-emptive or other subscription rights.

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 30,000,000 shares of our Preferred Stock. Our board of directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law and our Certificate of Incorporation, to determine the terms and conditions of our Preferred Stock, including whether the shares of our Preferred Stock will be issued in one or more series, the number of shares to be included in each series and the powers (including the voting power), designations, preferences, and rights of the shares. Our board of directors is also authorized to designate any qualifications, limitations, or restrictions on the shares without any further vote or action by the stockholders. The issuance of our Preferred Stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Company and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of our Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class G Common Stock, which could have a negative impact on the market price of our Class A Common Stock. We have no current plan to issue any shares of our Preferred Stock.

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, (A) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court of Chancery”) will be the sole and exclusive forum for (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of us, (2) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, agent, or other employee or stockholder of ours to us or our stockholders, (3) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery, or (4) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each case subject to such Court of Chancery having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction thereof, the federal district court of the State of Delaware; and (B) the federal district courts of the United States shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exclusive forum provision shall not apply to claims seeking to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States have exclusive jurisdiction. Our Certificate of Incorporation also provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of its capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the foregoing. By agreeing to this provision, however, stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

The provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws and of the DGCL summarized below may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that you might consider in your best interest, including an attempt that might result in your receipt of a premium over the market price for your shares of our Class A Common Stock.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain certain provisions that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and that may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a future takeover or change in control of us unless such takeover or change in control is approved by our board of directors.

These provisions include:

Classified Board. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that our board of directors is divided into three classes of directors, with the classes as nearly equal in number as possible. As a result, approximately one-third

of our board of directors will be elected each year. The classification of directors will have the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to change the composition of our board of directors. Our Certificate of Incorporation also provides that, subject to any rights of holders of any series of our Preferred Stock then outstanding to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the number of directors will be fixed exclusively pursuant to a resolution adopted by the board of directors.

In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, other than directors elected by holders of any series of our Preferred Stock then outstanding pursuant to the terms of such Preferred Stock, (i) until the Sunset Date (as defined in our Certificate of Incorporation), directors may be removed with or without cause by the affirmative vote of holders representing a majority of the total voting power of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, voting together as a single class, and (ii) from and after the Sunset Date, directors may only be removed for cause and by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total voting power of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, voting together as a single class.

Action by Written Consent; Special Meetings of Stockholders. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that (i) until the Sunset Date, stockholder action may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a written consent setting forth the action to be taken is signed by stockholders having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, and (ii) after the Sunset Date, stockholder action can be taken only at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and cannot be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws also provide that, subject to any special rights of the holders of any series of our Preferred Stock and except as otherwise required by law, (i) until the Sunset Date, special meetings of the stockholders can be called by the Secretary at the request of holders representing 25% of the total voting power of our Common Stock, and (ii) after the Sunset Date, special meetings of the stockholders can only be called by our board of directors. Except as described above, stockholders are not permitted to call a special meeting or to require our board of directors to call a special meeting.

Advance Notice Procedures. Our Bylaws have established an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders, and for stockholder nominations of persons for election to the board of directors to be brought before an annual or special meeting of stockholders.

Stockholders at an annual meeting will only be able to consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given our Secretary timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder’s intention to bring that business or nomination before the meeting; provided that, subject to our Certificate of Incorporation, until the Sunset Date, any holder of record of at least 25% in voting power of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote in an election of directors may nominate any person for election at an annual meeting or at a special meeting in person at the annual meeting or special meeting, without prior notice. Although our Bylaws do not give the board of directors the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, as applicable, our Bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our Company.

Super-Majority Approval Requirements. The DGCL generally provides that the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total voting power of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation requires a greater percentage. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, following the Sunset Date, the affirmative vote of holders representing 66 2/3% of the total voting power of our issued and outstanding Common Stock eligible to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, will be required to amend, alter, change, or repeal specified provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, including those relating to the classified board, actions by written consent of stockholders, calling of special meetings of stockholders, and amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, among others. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, following the Sunset Date, the affirmative vote of the holders of 66 2/3% of the total voting power of our outstanding Common Stock entitled to vote in the election of directors will be required for the stockholders to amend our Bylaws. This requirement of a super-majority vote to approve amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws could enable a minority of our stockholders to exercise veto power over any such amendments.

Authorized but Unissued Shares. Authorized but unissued shares of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions, and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of a majority of our Common Stock by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger, or otherwise.

Business Combinations with Interested Stockholders. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that we are not subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination, such as a merger, with an “interested stockholder” (which includes a person or group owning 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock) for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Accordingly, we are not subject to any anti-takeover effects of Section 203. Nevertheless, our Certificate of Incorporation contains provisions that have a similar effect to Section 203, except that they provide that the Existing VH Holders, their respective affiliates and successors and their direct and indirect transferees will not be deemed to be “interested stockholders,” regardless of the percentage of our voting stock owned by them and, accordingly, will not be subject to such restrictions.

Our Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and provides that we will provide them with customary indemnification and advancement of expenses. We have entered into customary indemnification agreements with each of our executive officers and directors that provide them, in general, with customary indemnification in connection with their service to us or on our behalf.

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we renounce any interest or expectancy in any transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for us, and no stockholder or director of Vacasa, Inc. (other than any of our directors who is also an officer) (each, an “Exempted Person”) will have any duty to present such corporate opportunity to us, nor will any Exempted Person be liable to us or our affiliates or stockholders for breach of any duty by reason of such Exempted Person pursuing such opportunity, directing such opportunity to another person, or otherwise failing to present such opportunity to us. Our Certificate of Incorporation further provides that no Exempted Person will have any duty not to engage in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as us or any of our subsidiaries, including those deemed to be in competition with us.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, as well as the terms of the subscription agreements and forward purchase agreements we entered into in connection with the Business Combination, the stockholders party thereto are entitled to certain “demand” registration rights, as well as certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to other registration statements filed by us and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (subject, in each case, to certain exceptions and limitations). We have agreed to bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

The transfer agent for our common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Each person investing in our Class A Common Stock held through The Depository Trust Company must rely on the procedures thereof and on institutions that have accounts therewith to exercise any rights of a holder of our Class A Common Stock.

For as long as any shares of our Class A Common Stock are listed on Nasdaq or on any other stock exchange operating in the United States, the laws of the State of New York shall apply to the property law aspects of our Class A Common Stock (including securities exercisable for or convertible into our Class A Common Stock) reflected in the register administered by our transfer agent.

Our Class A Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “VCSA.”

This prospectus relates to the resale from time to time of an aggregate of up to 10,932,790 shares of our Class A Common Stock, including shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the date of this prospectus and shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Initial Notes and additional notes that we may deliver as interest payments on the Initial Notes, as described under “Prospectus Summary—Senior Secured Convertible Notes.” The Selling Shareholders may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the shares of Class A Common Stock set forth below pursuant to this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement. When we refer to the “Selling Shareholders” in this prospectus, we mean the persons listed in the table below, and the donees, pledgees, transferees, assignees, designees, distributees or other successors-in-interest who later come to hold any of the Selling Shareholders’ interest in the Class A Common Stock other than through a public sale.

The following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, the names of the Selling Shareholders, certain beneficial ownership information with respect to the Selling Shareholders, and the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that the Selling Shareholders may offer pursuant to this prospectus. This table was prepared based on information provided to us by the Selling Shareholders, and it is possible that certain of such Selling Shareholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of some or all of the securities shown below subsequent to the date as of which they provided such information.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if such person possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security. Under those rules, beneficial ownership includes securities that the individual or entity has the right to acquire, such as through the conversion of convertible notes, within 60 days following a specified date. For purposes of the following table, we have assumed that all accrued interest eligible to be paid in kind under the terms of the Initial Notes will be paid as such. In addition, solely for purposes of this table, we have treated all shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Initial Notes and the additional notes we assume will be delivered as interest payments thereon as being beneficially owned by the applicable Selling Shareholder as of the date hereof. The inclusion of any shares of Class A Common Stock in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership for any Selling Shareholder named below.

Unless otherwise noted, the address for each beneficial owner listed below is c/o Vacasa, Inc., 850 NW 13th Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97209.

We cannot advise you as to whether any Selling Shareholder that holds Convertible Notes will convert such Convertible Notes into shares of Class A Common Stock, or whether the Selling Shareholders will in fact sell any or all of the shares of Class A Common Stock covered by this prospectus.

Selling Shareholder information for each additional Selling Shareholder, if any, will be set forth by prospectus supplement to the extent required prior to the time of any offer or sale of such Selling Shareholder’s shares pursuant to this prospectus. To the extent permitted by law, a prospectus supplement may add, update, substitute, or change the information contained in this prospectus, including the identity of each Selling Shareholder and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock registered on its behalf. A Selling Shareholder may sell or otherwise transfer all, some or none of such shares of Class A Common Stock in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Other than as described above or elsewhere in this prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference herein, none of the Selling Shareholders has any material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates.

The Selling Shareholders, which, as used herein, includes donees, pledgees, transferees, assignees, designees, distributees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of our Class A Common Stock or interests in our Class A Common Stock received after the date of this prospectus from the Selling Shareholders as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer, distribute or otherwise dispose of certain of their shares of Class A Common Stock or interests in our Class A Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which shares of our Class A Common Stock, as applicable, are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The Selling Shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of their shares of Class A Common Stock or interests therein:

The Selling Shareholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some shares of our Class A Common Stock owned by them and, if a Selling Shareholder defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell such shares of Class A Common Stock, as applicable, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment or supplement to this prospectus amending the list of the Selling Shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as the Selling Shareholders under this prospectus. The Selling Shareholders also may transfer shares of our Class A Common Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of shares of our Class A Common Stock or interests therein, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of our Class A Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Shareholders may also sell shares of our Class A Common Stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge shares of our Class A Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other

financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities that require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares of our Class A Common Stock offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Shareholders from the sale of shares of our Class A Common offered by them will be the purchase price of such shares of our Class A Common Stock less discounts or commissions, if any. The Selling Shareholders reserve the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of shares of our Class A Common Stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from any offering by the Selling Shareholders.

The Selling Shareholders also may in the future resell a portion of our Class A Common Stock in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule, or pursuant to other available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

The Selling Shareholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of shares of our Class A Common Stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of shares of our Class A Common Stock may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. If any Selling Shareholder is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, then the Selling Shareholder will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Underwriters and their controlling persons, dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us and the Selling Shareholders, to indemnification against and contribution toward specific civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

To the extent required, at the time a particular offer is made, the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, and any applicable discounts, commissions, concessions or other compensation with respect to such offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

To facilitate the offering of shares of our Class A Common Stock offered by the Selling Shareholders, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our Class A Common Stock. This may include over-allotments or short sales, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more shares of Class A Common Stock than were sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option, if any. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of our Class A Common Stock by bidding for or purchasing shares of Class A Common Stock in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if shares of Class A Common Stock sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of our Class A Common Stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we have agreed to indemnify the Selling Shareholders party thereto against certain liabilities that they may incur in connection with the sale of the securities registered hereunder, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments that the Selling Shareholders may be required to make with respect thereto. In addition, we and the Selling Shareholders may agree to indemnify any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent against certain liabilities related to the selling of the securities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we have agreed to maintain the effectiveness of this registration statement until all securities registered pursuant thereto have been sold under this registration statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act, are no longer outstanding, or otherwise cease to constitute registrable securities under the terms of such agreement. In addition, we have agreed to pay all expenses in connection with this offering, other than underwriting fees, discounts, selling commissions, stock transfer taxes and certain legal expenses. The Selling Shareholders will pay, on a pro rata basis, any underwriting fees, discounts, selling commissions, stock transfer taxes and certain legal expenses relating to the offering. Unless otherwise set forth in a prospectus supplement, the Selling Shareholders will receive all the net proceeds from the resale of shares of our Class A Common Stock.

A Selling Shareholder that is an entity may elect to make an in-kind distribution of Class A Common Stock to its members, partners or shareholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part by delivering a prospectus. To the extent that such members, partners or shareholders are not affiliates of ours, such members, partners or shareholders would thereby receive freely tradable shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the distribution through this registration statement.

We have agreed to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of shares of our Class A Common Stock to be offered and sold pursuant to this prospectus, which we expect to be approximately $0.1 million.
