Marriott International Announces Early Results and Increase in Maximum Principal Amount of its Debt Tender Offer

BETHESDA, MD - September 22, 2021 - Marriott International, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAR) today announced the early results of its previously announced offer to purchase for cash up to $800,000,000 in aggregate principal amount (such aggregate principal amount, subject to increase by the Company, the "Maximum Principal Amount") of the notes listed in the table below (the "Notes"). The offer to purchase the Notes is referred to herein as the "Offer." Additionally, Marriott today announced that it has amended the Offer by increasing the Maximum Principal Amount from $800,000,000 to $1,000,000,000. All other terms of the previously announced Offer remain unchanged.

The Offer was made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated September 8, 2021 (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Offer to Purchase"), including among other things, the Financing Condition. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase.

Title of Security

5.750% Series EE Notes due 2025

(the "Series EE Notes")

3.750% Series P Notes due 2025

(the "Series P Notes")

3.750% Series V Notes due 2025

(the "Series V Notes")

Marriott will accept Notes in accordance with their Acceptance Priority Level specified in the table above (each, an "Acceptance Priority Level," with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 3 being the lowest Acceptance Priority Level), subject to the terms and conditions described elsewhere in the Offer to Purchase, including the Maximum Principal Amount and proration.

All documentation relating to the Offer, including the Offer to Purchase, together with any updates, are available from the Tender and Information Agent (as defined below) and is also available via the Offer website: http://www.dfking.com/MAR.

Marriott expects to announce the pricing of the Offer later today, September 22, 2021.

Since the amount of Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Time exceeded the Maximum Principal Amount, the Company is accepting Series EE Notes only on a prorated basis and the Company will not accept any Series P Notes or Series V Notes. The aggregate principal amount of each Holder's validly tendered Series EE Notes accepted for purchase was determined by multiplying the aggregate principal amount of Series EE Notes validly tendered by such Holder by a proration factor of approximately 89.4%, subject to the rounding and further scaling provisions detailed in the Offer to Purchase.

Subject to satisfaction or waiver of the General Conditions and the Financing Condition by such date, all Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase will be purchased by the Company on the "Early Settlement Date," which is expected to occur on September 23, 2021. Payment for the Notes that are purchased will include accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes, rounded to the nearest cent per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date. Marriott expects the Financing Condition to be satisfied upon the closing of its offering (the "New Notes Offering") of $700,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.750% Series II Notes due 2033 (the "New Notes"). The New Notes Offering is expected to close today, September 22, 2021.

The Offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 5, 2021 (unless the Offer is extended or terminated) (such date and time, the "Expiration Time"). Withdrawal rights expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 21, 2021. Notes that have been tendered may no longer be withdrawn. Since the amount of the Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Time exceeded the Maximum Principal Amount, no additional Notes will be accepted for purchase after the Early Tender Time.

Subject to applicable law and limitations described in the Offer to Purchase, Marriott expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to amend, extend or, upon failure of any condition described in the Offer to Purchase to be satisfied or waived, to terminate the Offer at any time at or prior to the Expiration Time. Marriott also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law, to terminate the Offer at any time at or prior to the Expiration Time.
