Other Events.

On February 20, 2024, Marriott International, Inc. (“we”) entered into a Terms Agreement with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Fifth Third Securities, Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and the other Underwriters listed on Schedule I thereto (the “Terms Agreement,” which incorporates by reference the Underwriting Agreement General Terms and Provisions, dated March 3, 2021 (which we previously filed on March 5, 2021 as Exhibit 1.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K)) to issue $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 4.875% Series NN Notes due 2029 (the “Series NN Notes”) and $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 5.300% Series OO Notes due 2034 (the “Series OO Notes” and, together with the Series NN Notes, the “Notes”). On February 22, 2024, we received net proceeds of approximately $1.468 billion from the offering of the Notes, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated expenses of the offering. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, stock repurchases or repayment of outstanding indebtedness.

We will pay interest on the Series NN Notes on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on May 15, 2024, and we will pay interest on the Series OO Notes on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on May 15, 2024. The Series NN Notes will mature on May 15, 2029, and the Series OO Notes will mature on May 15, 2034. We may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at our option, under the terms provided in the applicable Form of Note.

We issued the Notes under an indenture dated as of November 16, 1998 with The Bank of New York Mellon, as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank, as trustee (the “Indenture”) (which we previously filed as Exhibit 4.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 1999).

In connection with the public offering of the Notes, we filed a Prospectus dated February 13, 2024 and a Prospectus Supplement dated February 20, 2024 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, each of which forms a part of our Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-277039) (the “Registration Statement”). We are filing the Terms Agreement, the Indenture Officers’ Certificate pursuant to Section 301 of the Indenture, the Forms of Notes, and a legal opinion of our counsel, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, on the Notes as exhibits to this report for the purpose of incorporating them as exhibits to the Registration Statement.
