Dear Marriott Vacations Worldwide Stockholders:

It is my pleasure to inform you that the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (the “Annual Meeting”) will be conducted online on Tuesday, May 13, 2025 beginning at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time. Stockholders of record may attend and vote during the Annual Meeting via the Internet at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/VAC2025. You may also attend the meeting by proxy. You may submit questions in advance of the meeting at www.proxyvote.com. Beneficial owners should review their voting instruction form or Notice of Internet Availability for how to vote in advance of and participate in the Annual Meeting online. For further information about the virtual Annual Meeting, please see the Questions and Answers About the Meeting beginning on page 4.

The following Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement includes information about the matters to be acted upon by stockholders at the Annual Meeting. We hope that you will exercise your right to vote as promptly as possible. You may vote through the Internet, by telephone or by mailing your completed proxy card (or voting instruction form, if you hold your shares through a broker).

We are mailing many of our stockholders a Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) rather than a full set of our proxy materials. The Notice contains instructions on how to access our proxy materials on the Internet, as well as instructions on how to obtain a paper copy of the full set of proxy materials if a stockholder so desires. This process is more environmentally friendly and reduces our costs to print and distribute these materials to stockholders. All stockholders of record who do not receive the Notice will receive a full set of our proxy materials.

We appreciate your continued support and interest in Marriott Vacations Worldwide.

Sincerely,

William J. Shaw

Chairman of the Board

The 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (the “Company”) will be held at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, virtually, via the Internet at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/VAC2025. At the meeting, stockholders will act on the following matters:

Only stockholders of the Company at the close of business on March 14, 2025, the record date, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. For instructions on voting, please refer to the notice you received in the mail or, if you requested a hard copy of the Proxy Statement, your enclosed proxy card.

In the event of a technical malfunction in connection with the virtual Annual Meeting, the chair of the meeting will convene the meeting at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the date specified above and at the Company’s address specified above solely for the purpose of adjourning the meeting to reconvene at a date, time and physical or virtual location announced by the chair of the meeting. Under these circumstances, we will post information regarding the announcement on the Investor Relations page of the Company’s website at www.marriottvacationsworldwide.com.

Internet Availability

We are taking advantage of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules that allow companies to furnish proxy materials to their stockholders through the Internet. We believe these rules allow us to provide you with the information you need while lowering the costs of delivery and reducing the environmental impact of the Annual Meeting. On or about March 27, 2025, a Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) or the Proxy Statement and form of proxy will be mailed to stockholders as of the record date. If you received a Notice by mail, you will not receive printed copies of the proxy materials, unless you specifically request them. Instead, the Notice instructs you on how to access and review all of the important information contained in the Proxy Statement and in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as how to submit your proxy over the Internet. If you received the Notice and would still like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials, you may request a printed copy of the proxy materials by following the instructions in the Notice.

		By Order of the Board of Directors,
		James H Hunter, IV

PROXY STATEMENT

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (“we,” “us,” “Marriott Vacations Worldwide,” “MVW” or the “Company”) is soliciting stockholders’ proxies in connection with the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof (the “Annual Meeting”). The mailing to stockholders of the Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) will take place on or about March 27, 2025.

Marriott Vacations Worldwide has made these materials available to you on the Internet or has delivered printed versions of these materials to you by mail in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board for use at our Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement describes the matters on which you, as a stockholder, are entitled to vote. It also gives you information on these matters so that you can make an informed decision.

You may attend the Annual Meeting online, including to vote, by logging in at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/VAC2025. The Annual Meeting will begin at approximately 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, with log-in beginning at 8:45 a.m. on Tuesday, May 13, 2025.

You may attend and vote during the Annual Meeting via the Internet at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/VAC2025. You may also attend the meeting by proxy. You may submit questions in advance of the meeting at www.proxyvote.com.

You are entitled to participate in the virtual Annual Meeting only if you were a stockholder of record who owned the Company’s common stock at the close of business on March 14, 2025. Each holder of record is entitled to one vote per share. There were 34,563,443 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote on March 14, 2025.

To attend online and participate in the Annual Meeting, stockholders of record will need to use their control number on their Notice or proxy card to log into www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/VAC2025; beneficial owners who do not have a control number may gain access to the meeting by logging into their brokerage firm’s website and selecting the stockholder communications mailbox to link through to the virtual Annual Meeting. Instructions should also be provided on the voting instruction card provided by their broker, bank, or other nominee.

We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time. Please allow time for online check-in, which will begin at 8:45 a.m. Eastern Time. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the Annual Meeting during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the virtual Annual Meeting landing page at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/VAC2025.

You may submit a question in advance of the meeting at www.proxyvote.com. The Company will try to answer as many questions as possible during the time scheduled. Answers to appropriate investor questions received before the Annual Meeting will be posted on the Investor Relations page of the Company’s website as soon as practicable after the Annual Meeting to the extent such questions were not answered at the Annual Meeting. Additional information regarding the question and answer process, including the types of questions permitted, the time allotted for the question and answer session, and how questions will be addressed and disclosed, will be available in the Annual Meeting Rules of Conduct, which will be posted at the virtual Annual Meeting website during the Annual Meeting.

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.

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.

Stockholders will vote on the following items at the Annual Meeting, if each is properly presented at the meeting:

In addition, management will respond to appropriate questions from stockholders submitted in advance of the meeting.

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, FOR Items 2 and 3, and ONE Year on Item 4.

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.

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/VAC2025 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.

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.

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 and 3, and “ONE Year” on Item 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.

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 eight 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.

With respect to Item 4, there are four choices for stockholders: every year; every two years; every three years; or they may chose to abstain. If none of the four choices for this Item receive the affirmative vote of the holders of shares representing a majority in voting power, present online or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal, the Board will consider the choice that receives the highest number of votes as the choice supported by our stockholders. The Board will take the voting results on such proposal into account in determining whether to hold the advisory vote on executive compensation every year, every two years or every three years.

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.

Only stockholders as of the record date, their proxy holders and our invited guests may attend the Annual Meeting.

Yes. Attending the Annual Meeting online does not revoke your proxy.

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:

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.

ITEM 1 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board currently consists of thirteen members. The Board size will decrease to eleven members upon the retirement of Messrs. Gellein and Martinez effective immediately prior to the commencement of the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. 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. Under our Certificate of Incorporation, as so amended, directors were first elected for one-year terms at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the directors elected at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be elected for one-year terms, and beginning with the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the entire Board will be elected on an annual basis. The Board proposes that Matthew E. Avril, James A. Dausch, Lizanne Galbreath, John E. Geller, Jr., Mary E. Galligan, Jonice M. Gray, Dianna F. Morgan, and Stephen R. Quazzo be elected for a term expiring at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Mr. Avril was recommended to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by a non-management director and Mr. Dausch was recommended to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by a stockholder.

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 10.

ITEM 2 – RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) has appointed Ernst & Young as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s 2025 fiscal year. Although the Audit Committee has discretionary authority to appoint the independent auditor, the Board is seeking stockholder ratification of the appointment as a matter of good corporate governance. The Board and the Audit Committee believe that the continued retention of Ernst & Young as the Company’s independent auditor is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. If the appointment of Ernst & Young is not ratified by stockholders, the Audit Committee will take that into consideration when determining whether to continue the firm’s engagement. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee at its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company.

Representatives of Ernst & Young are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting online, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire, and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

ITEM 3 – ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

We are asking stockholders to approve an advisory resolution on the Company’s named executive officer compensation as reported in this Proxy Statement. As described below in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 26, the Compensation Policy Committee of the Board (the “CPC”) has structured our executive compensation program to achieve the following key objectives:

We urge stockholders to read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement, which describes in more detail how our executive compensation policies and procedures operate and are designed to achieve our compensation objectives, as well as the Summary Compensation Table and other related compensation tables and narrative, which provide detailed information about the compensation of our NEOs. The CPC and the Board believe that the policies and procedures articulated in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section below are effective in achieving our goals and that the compensation of our NEOs reported in this Proxy Statement reflects and supports these compensation policies and procedures.

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, and as a matter of good corporate governance, we are asking stockholders to approve the following advisory resolution at the Annual Meeting:

RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (the “Company”) approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary Compensation Table and the related compensation tables, notes and narrative in the Proxy Statement for the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

This advisory resolution, commonly referred to as a “say-on-pay” resolution, is not binding on the Board. Although non-binding, the Board and the CPC will review and consider the voting results when making future decisions regarding our executive compensation program. As described in Item 4 below, stockholders are also being given the opportunity to express their preference for the frequency of future advisory votes to approve executive compensation. The Board’s current policy is to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation on an annual basis. The Board and the CPC will consider the outcome of the advisory vote in Item 4 below. Unless the Board modifies its policy on the frequency of holding advisory votes on executive compensation, after the 2025 Annual Meeting, our next “say-on-pay” resolution will occur at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

ITEM 4 – ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

We are asking stockholders to vote on whether future advisory votes on executive compensation like Item 3 above should occur every year, every two years or every three years. After careful consideration, the Board has determined that holding an advisory vote on executive compensation every year is most appropriate for us at this time because it would continue to enable our stockholders to provide us with timely input regarding the compensation of named executive officers. In addition, while our executive compensation program is designed to motivate executive officers to perform their duties in ways that would help achieve both current year and longer-term objectives, the Board recognizes that executive compensation disclosures are made annually. The Board recommends that stockholders vote to hold such future advisory votes every year.

In the event the Board decides to make changes to our executive compensation program following a stockholder advisory vote, you should note that because the advisory vote occurs well after the beginning of the compensation year, and because the different elements of our executive compensation program are designed to operate in an integrated manner and to complement one another, in many cases, it may not be appropriate or feasible to implement such changes by the time of the following year’s annual meeting of stockholders.

Although this advisory vote is not binding on the Board, the Board and the CPC value your opinion and will carefully review the voting results on this proposal in establishing the frequency with which future say-on-pay votes will be held. Notwithstanding the Board’s recommendation and the outcome of the stockholder vote, the Board may in the future decide to conduct advisory votes on a less frequent basis and may vary its practice based on factors such as discussions with stockholders and the adoption of material changes to compensation programs.

You are not voting to approve or disapprove the Board’s recommendation. Instead, you may specify your preference regarding the frequency of future say-on-pay votes by selecting one year, two years, or three years or abstaining.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Our Board currently consists of thirteen members. The Board size will decrease to eleven members upon the retirement of Messrs. Gellein and Martinez effective immediately prior to the commencement of the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. 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. Under our Certificate of Incorporation, as so amended, directors were first elected for one-year terms at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the directors elected at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be elected for one-year terms, and beginning with the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the entire Board will be elected on an annual basis.

All of our director nominees currently serve as directors on our Board. The tables below set forth information regarding the members of our Board continuing in office or 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 John E. Geller, Jr., our President and Chief Executive Officer.

Nominees for Director

The Board has nominated eight directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting to serve for a one-year term ending with the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until the director’s successor is duly elected and qualified, or the director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

SUMMARY OF DIRECTOR ATTRIBUTES AND SKILLS AS OF THE ANNUAL MEETING

Our Board members have a diversity of experience and bring a wide variety of skills, qualifications and viewpoints that strengthen the Board’s oversight role on behalf of our stockholders. The following highlights certain key characteristics of our directors. Additional information can be found in their biographies.

Board Composition as of the Annual Meeting

Please refer to Item 1, “Business,” of our 2024 Annual Report for information regarding our executive officers.

2024 BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS AND ATTENDANCE

Our Board met six times in 2024. No incumbent member of the Board attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board and the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which such director served. Directors are expected to attend annual meetings of stockholders, and each of our directors attended the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

COMMITTEE CHARTERS

The charters of the Audit, Compensation Policy, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees, as well as our Corporate Governance Guidelines, are available via the Investor Relations section of our website (www.marriottvacationsworldwide.com) by clicking on “Corporate Governance.” Copies of the committee charters also may be obtained upon request from our Corporate Secretary. Other committees may also be established by our Board from time to time.

The composition of our committees during 2024 and through the date of this Proxy Statement is set forth in the chart below.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Audit Committee. The Board has determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee is independent as defined under our Corporate Governance Principles, the NYSE Listing Standards and applicable SEC rules for audit committee members. The internal and independent auditors have unrestricted access to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee meets privately with each of the independent auditors, the internal auditors and members of management. The Audit Committee met seven times in 2024. Each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate under applicable SEC and NYSE standards. In addition, Mr. Andrews, Mr. McCarten and Mr. Quazzo each possesses accounting or related financial management expertise within the meaning of the NYSE Listing Standards and qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under the applicable SEC rules. Our Corporate Governance Principles establish a limit on the number of audit committees of publicly traded companies on which members of the Company’s Audit Committee may serve, including our Audit Committee, at three.

The responsibilities of the Audit Committee include, among other things:

Compensation Policy Committee. The Board has determined that each of the members of the CPC is independent as defined under our Corporate Governance Principles and the NYSE Listing Standards for compensation committee members. The CPC met four times in 2024.

The responsibilities of the CPC include, among other things:

The CPC may delegate any of its responsibilities to subcommittees as the CPC may deem appropriate.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board has determined that each of the members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is independent as defined under our Corporate Governance Principles and the NYSE Listing Standards. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met five times in 2024.

The responsibilities of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee include, among other things:

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

None of the members of the CPC is or has been an officer or employee of the Company or had any relationship that is required to be disclosed as a transaction with a related party or as an interlocking relationship.

MEETINGS OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS

Our Corporate Governance Principles require the Board to have at least two regularly scheduled executive sessions a year for the non-management directors without management present and require the independent directors to meet in executive session at least annually. The Chairman, who is currently Mr. Shaw, presides at such executive sessions.

The Board is committed to good corporate governance, good business practices and transparency in financial reporting. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee annually reviews the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles, a copy of which is available via the Investor Relations section of our website (www.marriottvacationsworldwide.com) by clicking on “Corporate Governance” under the “Investor Relations” tab. A copy of the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles also may be obtained upon request from our Corporate Secretary.

SEPARATION OF BOARD CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

While the Board has no formal policy requiring the separation of the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, William J. Shaw, an independent director, currently serves as Chairman of the Board. Our Board regularly reviews our leadership structure and has determined that separating the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is the optimal leadership structure for the Company at this time, allowing our Chief Executive Officer to focus on his duties while benefiting from the Chairman’s significant experience at Marriott International and in the hospitality industry. The Board believes that having an independent Chairman improves the ability of the Board to exercise its oversight role over management and provides opportunities for discussion and evaluation of management decisions and the direction of the Company.

BOARD AND COMMITTEE EVALUATIONS

The Board and its committees annually evaluate their own performance. The evaluation process is overseen by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which recommends enhancements to Board and committee effectiveness as appropriate. The process includes distribution of questionnaires to each director, Board and committee discussions in executive session led by the Chairman or relevant committee chair, and opportunities for discussions between individual directors and the Chairman, committee chairs, and/or the Corporate Secretary.

The results from the 2024 evaluation process were positive and confirmed our belief that our Board upholds a high level of Board effectiveness and governance.

INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY

At Marriott Vacations Worldwide, we are in the business of bringing people together. Like our customers, our associates come from diverse backgrounds, offering invaluably distinct perspectives. Throughout the year, we infused our associate communications and associate experience programming with touchpoints designed to educate, commemorate, and celebrate key events and milestones, and further build on our vibrant culture of inclusion. We have an Executive Inclusion Council, which is comprised of senior leaders dedicated to enabling and championing inclusion initiatives throughout the organization. Our inclusion and diversity commitment statement is “MVW is committed to cultivating inclusion and fostering diversity in all aspects of our business.

We provide treasured vacation experiences to our customers around the world and work to create an inclusive, diverse, and caring environment for our associates. We support a Life Fulfilled for all individuals and embrace the notion that we are Better Together.”

2024 Workforce Composition (as of 12/31/2024)

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. Mr. Avril was recommended to the Board by a non-management director and Mr. Dausch was recommended to the Board by a stockholder.

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.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

The Company has determined that all of the current directors, other than John E. Geller, Jr., have no material relationship with the Company and are independent under the criteria set forth in the applicable rules of the SEC, the NYSE Listing Standards and the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles. Additionally, all of the members of the Audit Committee, Compensation Policy Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are independent under such standards, including any heightened standards applicable to committee members.

RISK OVERSIGHT

Our Board is responsible for overseeing our processes for assessing and managing risk. The Board considers our risk profile when reviewing our annual business plan and incorporates risk assessment into its decisions. In performing its oversight responsibilities, our Board receives an annual enterprise risk assessment report from our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and our Senior Vice President, Internal Audit & Corporate Responsibility (who is our Chief Audit Executive), and discusses the most significant risks facing us. The Board believes that its risk oversight process would be effective under a variety of Board leadership structures, and therefore, it does not materially affect the Board’s choice of leadership structure.

Each of the Board’s committees addresses risks that fall within that committee’s area of responsibility.

Our Audit Committee is responsible for a number of risk oversight functions, including the periodic review of the audit plan of the internal audit department, the tax function, treasury operations, and insurance, as well as conducting oversight of legal and regulatory risks, artificial intelligence and related regulations, cybersecurity and data security. The Audit Committee receives regular reports from: the corporate controllership and our outside independent accounting firm on financial reporting matters; the internal audit department about significant findings; and the General Counsel regarding legal and regulatory risks; and as discussed below with respect to cybersecurity. The Audit Committee incorporates its risk assessment function into its reports to the Board.

Our CPC evaluates any incentives and risks arising from or related to our compensation programs and plans and assesses whether the incentives and risks are appropriate. As discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis below, the CPC believes that our compensation programs do not present risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The CPC is also responsible for oversight of risks related to our workforce and key aspects of the Company’s human resources strategies, policies and programs with respect to organizational development activities, including, but not limited to, initiatives relating to inclusion and diversity and other social responsibility matters.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee plays a central role in oversight of corporate responsibility risk and the Company’s corporate responsibility functions, objectives, strategy, and performance, as further discussed below.

OVERSIGHT OF CYBERSECURITY

Our Audit Committee is responsible for oversight of cybersecurity risk. The Audit Committee regularly reviews our cybersecurity and data security risks and mitigation strategies. At least twice each year, the Audit Committee receives reports and presentations from members of our team responsible for overseeing our cybersecurity risk management, including our Senior Vice President, Global Information Security, and our Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer, and periodically receives reports and presentations from third parties. The Company has a dedicated team that is responsible for managing enterprise-wide information security strategy, policy, standards, architecture and processes. This team follows a documented process to identify, quantify and mitigate security risks. Risks are reported to and reviewed by senior leadership, and more significant risks are reported to our executive officers and the Audit Committee. In addition, we require our associates to receive annual training on our information security policies. This includes but is not limited to information classification and handling, data privacy, physical security, phishing, malware and ransomware, social engineering, identifying and reporting information security incidents, and secure credit card handling as well as additional topics based on job roles and responsibilities.

BOARD AND COMMITTEE OVERSIGHT OF CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

Oversight of corporate responsibility matters happens at multiple levels within our corporate responsibility governance structure. Our Board has overall responsibility for managing corporate responsibility risks and opportunities and is provided with updates on corporate responsibility matters at least quarterly. Each of the Board’s committees assists the Board in fulfilling this responsibility by overseeing the corporate responsibility-related risks in areas over which they have responsibility.

Our business conduct guide, supplier code of conduct, human rights policy and 2023 Corporate Responsibility Report are posted on our website at www.marriottvacationsworldwide.com under the “Our Values” tab. We encourage you to read more about how we are working to build a more inclusive and purpose-driven culture on our Investor Relations and Our Values sections of our website.

COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD

Stockholders and other interested parties wishing to communicate with our Board as a group or with any individual director (including the Chairman of the Board) may do so by sending an e-mail to business.ethics@mvwc.com or sending a letter to Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation, 7812 Palm Parkway, Orlando, Florida, 32836, Attention: Chief Audit Executive. Such communications may be confidential and/or anonymous. All such concerns are forwarded to the appropriate directors for their review and are reviewed and addressed by us in the same way that we address other concerns.

OTHER DIRECTORSHIPS

Our Corporate Governance Principles limit the number of boards of publicly traded companies on which the Company’s directors may serve, including our Board, to two for directors who are executive officers of publicly traded companies and four for other directors.

CODE OF CONDUCT

Our Board has adopted a code of conduct, our Business Conduct Guide, that applies to all of our directors, officers and associates, including our President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer. Our Business Conduct Guide is available in the Investor Relations section of our website (www.marriottvacationsworldwide.com) and is accessible by clicking on “Corporate Governance.” Any amendments to our Business Conduct Guide and any grant of a waiver from a provision of our Business Conduct Guide requiring disclosure under applicable SEC rules may be disclosed at the same location as the Business Conduct Guide in the Investor Relations section of our website or on a Current Report on Form 8-K.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee is composed solely of independent directors meeting the requirements of applicable SEC and NYSE rules. Each member is financially literate for audit committee purposes under the NYSE rules, and three members of the Audit Committee also qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of SEC regulations. The key responsibilities of the Audit Committee are set forth in its charter, which was adopted by us and approved by the Board and is posted under “Corporate Governance” in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.marriottvacationsworldwide.com.

As more fully described in the Audit Committee charter, our Audit Committee assists the Board in its oversight of risks related to financial reporting, accounting, financial practices, legal and regulatory matters, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and data security. Our Audit Committee also oversees reporting and internal controls and disclosure procedures concerning the Company’s corporate responsibility program. Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of our consolidated financial statements, accounting and financial reporting principles, and maintaining an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting. Ernst & Young, our independent registered public accountant, is responsible for performing an independent audit of our consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”).

The Audit Committee has selected Ernst & Young as our independent registered public accountant for 2025. Ernst & Young has served as our independent registered public accountant since 2011. The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of our independent registered public accountant. The Audit Committee regularly reviews Ernst & Young’s independence and performance in deciding whether to retain Ernst & Young or engage another firm as our independent registered public accountant. In the course of these reviews, the Audit Committee considers, among other things:

In accordance with SEC rules and Ernst & Young policies, audit partners are subject to rotation requirements to limit the number of consecutive years an individual partner may provide service to us. For lead and concurring audit partners, the maximum number of consecutive years of service in that capacity is five years. The process for selection of our lead audit partner pursuant to this rotation policy involves a meeting between the Chair of the Audit Committee and the candidate for the role, as well as discussion by the full Audit Committee and with management. The lead partner from Ernst & Young who was assigned to us in 2020 completed her service upon the issuance of the 2024 audit report. A new lead audit partner was assigned to us for 2025 and will complete his five years of service with us upon completion of the 2029 audit.

The Audit Committee engages in an annual evaluation of our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, assessing the firm’s quality of service, the firm’s sufficiency of resources, the quality of the communication and interaction with the firm, and the firm’s independence, objectivity, and professional skepticism. The Audit Committee also considers the advisability and potential impact of selecting a different independent public accounting firm.

The Audit Committee and the Board believe that the continued retention of Ernst & Young as our independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interest of our stockholders.

The Audit Committee regularly meets and holds separate discussions with management, our internal auditors, and Ernst & Young. Prior to their issuance, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed our quarterly and annual consolidated financial statements (including the presentation of non-GAAP financial information) and disclosures under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (including significant accounting policies and judgments) with management, our internal auditors and Ernst & Young. During 2024, management, our internal auditors and Ernst & Young also made presentations to the Audit Committee on specific topics of interest, including: corporate responsibility matters, our information technology systems and controls; changes in significant estimates; our critical accounting policies; our critical audit matters; new accounting guidance and the potential impact of new accounting pronouncements; integration and transformation initiatives; our strategy and the implementation of new systems; and cybersecurity.

The Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management and Ernst & Young regarding the fair and complete presentation of our results and the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. Management has represented to the Audit Committee that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and Ernst & Young. The Audit Committee has discussed with Ernst & Young the matters that are required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC. The Audit Committee discussed with Ernst & Young their independence from the Company and our management, including the matters, if any, in the written disclosures delivered pursuant to the applicable requirements of the PCAOB. The Audit Committee has concluded that Ernst & Young’s provision of audit and non-audit services to us and our affiliates is compatible with Ernst & Young’s independence.

The Audit Committee discussed with Ernst & Young the overall scope and plans for their audit, including the estimated audit fees and non-audit fees. The Audit Committee has also discussed with our Senior Vice President, Internal Audit & Corporate Responsibility, the overall scope of and plans for our internal audits. The Audit Committee met with Ernst & Young and with our internal auditors, in each case, with and without other members of management present, to discuss the results of their respective examinations, the evaluations of our internal controls and the overall quality and integrity of our financial reporting. Additionally, the Audit Committee has reviewed the performance, responsibilities, budget, and staffing of our internal audit department.

Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board has approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PRE-APPROVAL OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR FEES AND SERVICES POLICY

The Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval of Independent Auditor Fees and Services Policy provides for pre-approval of all audit, audit-related, tax and other permissible non-audit services provided by our principal independent auditor on an annual basis and as needed. The Audit Committee has delegated authority to the Audit Committee Chair to pre-approve principal independent auditor services where we deem it necessary or advisable that such services commence prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting (provided that the Audit Committee Chair informs the Audit Committee of any such services and the estimated fees that were pre-approved at the next regularly scheduled meeting). During 2024, all such services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FEE DISCLOSURE

The following table presents aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young, for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements and statutory audits for fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 and aggregate fees billed in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 for audit-related services, tax services and all other permissible non-audit services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee approved all of the fees presented in the table below. The Audit Committee is also responsible for overseeing the fee negotiations associated with the retention of Ernst & Young for the audit of our financial statements and internal control over financial reporting.

For purposes of the preceding table, the professional fees are classified as follows:

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Our NEOs for whom compensation information is presented in the Summary Compensation Table below are:

Our executive compensation programs are designed to reward financial results and effective strategic leadership to build sustainable value for stockholders by correlating the timing and amount of actual pay with performance over various time horizons without excessive risk-taking.

Our executive compensation program includes the following key elements:

December 2023 and February 2024 Compensation Actions

The CPC made the following key compensation decisions for 2024, which are discussed in greater detail in the following pages:

PHILOSOPHY

The CPC has approved, and periodically reviews, compensation principles that form the basis of our compensation philosophy and reflect our belief that strong and consistent leadership is the key to long-term success in our industry. Accordingly, our compensation program is designed around the following three principles:

COMPENSATION PROGRAM PRINCIPLES AND GOVERNANCE

Pay for Performance is Key Compensation Program Principle

A large portion of the total pay opportunity for our named executive officers 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 2024 compensation program include annual and long-term incentives that are comprised of Performance Units, 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 CEO’s and the average of each other named executive officer’s total target compensation that was performance-based in 2024:

Additional Principles and Corporate Governance Policies

Our executive compensation programs contain features that are intended to embody our compensation principles and promote strong executive compensation corporate governance.

COMPENSATION PROCESS

Market Data

To assist in determining the levels of compensation for our named executive officers in 2024, 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.

Brookdale Senior Living Inc., which had been a member of our peer group until 2023, was removed from the peer group for 2024 due to market capitalization relative to the Company. In addition, the CPC added Caesars Entertainment, Inc. and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd to the peer group due to their size and industry business model similarities relative to the Company.
