Frequently Asked Questions for Bluegreen
Vacation Club Owners, Non-Club Owners (Legacy), and Sampler Members
We recently announced our merging into Hilton Grand Vacations after entering a merger agreement. This
is an exciting chapter in our company’s history that we are confident will provide even more incredible
experiences for our owners, members, and guests. However, this is just the first step in a process that will
still require regulatory and shareholder approvals. We will continue to operate as two separate companies
until the closing, which we don’t anticipate until the first half of 2024.
While we currently don’t have all the answers yet, we want to address some questions you may have
about what this announcement means for you as a valued owner, member, and/or guest of Bluegreen
Vacations.
About the Acquisition
1. Why is Hilton Grand Vacations (HGV) acquiring Bluegreen Vacations now?
Consolidation is not uncommon in various industries, including the timeshare industry. Bluegreen is
more than 50 years old and we have a portfolio of quality properties, a strong owner base, and
strategic alliances, such as Bass Pro, Choice, and NASCAR.
In today’s environment, upgrading to enhanced technology, systems, and customer experiences is
essential. Bluegreen continues to want the best opportunities available for its owners, members, and
guests. After a thorough and comprehensive search, we selected HGV, a recognizable brand, as an
ideal partner to carry forward the legacy traditions of Bluegreen and its culture of customer service
and caring for our owners and associates.
2. How is this going to impact Bluegreen owners?
Hilton Grand Vacations is a larger company and has a wider array of offerings than Bluegreen.
Bluegreen has approximately 220,000 owners and HGV has approximately 500,000 owners.
Bluegreen has approximately 50 Club properties in its portfolio and HGV has approximately 150
properties in its portfolio.
By leveraging the best that HGV and Bluegreen have to offer in terms of brand, marketing partners,
resort experiences and talent, together we will provide expanded and unforgettable vacation
experiences and opportunities to grow in ways we never could have as separate companies.
Until notified otherwise, you will continue to access available Bluegreen inventory the same way you
do now. Bluegreen will continue to operate as an independent company until closing, which is not
anticipated until the first half of 2024.
3. Will Hilton Grand Vacations have the same focus on commitment to excellence and access?
Yes. We believe that you will continue to receive the same level of service you’ve come to expect
from us at Bluegreen, and access to your vacation ownership and membership will be seamless.
4. How can we stay informed of new developments?
Once the acquisition closes and as details are finalized, we will communicate with you to keep you
informed. If you need to speak to someone today, please utilize the chat feature on
bluegreenowner.com or call Club Services at 800-456-CLUB.
5. When will the acquisition take place?
We are only at the beginning stages. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions,
including required regulatory and shareholder approvals. The transaction is anticipated to close
during the first half of 2024, pending all necessary and required approvals.
6. Will Bluegreen remain a publicly traded company?
No. Bluegreen will no longer remain a public company. After the closing, Bluegreen will be a wholly
owned subsidiary of HGV. HGV will continue to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
under the ticker symbol “HGV.”
7. Will the acquisition affect the terms of my current timeshare ownership with Bluegreen?
Bluegreen and HGV will remain two independent and distinct companies until closing. Your vacation
ownership will remain the same and you will continue to make reservations and manage your
ownership the same way you do now. After closing, HGV will notify you of any modifications to the
reservations system.
8. Will my fees go up after the acquisition?
HGV is a professional company with years of experience in managing resorts and providing
maintenance. You will be notified should there be any change to your fees, much the same way you
are notified by Bluegreen.
9. Does this transition include HGV acquiring all of Bluegreen’s properties?
After closing, HGV will take over all Bluegreen-managed properties and acquire all
Bluegreen owned inventory.
10. It was announced that Bass Pro Shops is part of the acquisition. What does this mean
for owners?
We have been advised that Bass Pro will continue to be a strategic partner of HGV.
11. Will Bluegreen resorts be rebranded into the HGV family of brands?
We have been advised that HGV may, over time, rebrand Bluegreen properties into the HGV family of
brands. Any rebranding of resorts will take place over a phased, multi-year period.
12. Who can I contact with additional questions or concerns related to the acquisition?
Once the acquisition closes and as details are finalized, we will communicate with owners to keep
you informed. If you need to speak to someone today, please utilize the chat feature on
bluegreenowner.com or call Club Services at 800-456-CLUB.
