On August 18, 2025, Marriott International, Inc. (“we”) entered into a Terms Agreement with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, PNC Capital Markets LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., Truist Securities, Inc. 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 $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 4.200% Series TT Notes due 2027 (the “Series TT Notes”), $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 4.500% Series UU Notes due 2031 (the “Series UU Notes”) and $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 5.250% Series VV Notes due 2035 (the “Series VV Notes” and, together with the Series TT Notes and the Series UU Notes, the “Notes”). We issued the Notes on August 20, 2025. Net proceeds of the offering are approximately $1.477 billion, 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 TT Notes on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2026, we will pay interest on the Series UU Notes on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on April 15, 2026 and we will pay interest on the Series VV Notes on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on April 15, 2026. The Series TT Notes will mature on July 15, 2027, the Series UU Notes will mature on October 15, 2031, and the Series VV Notes will mature on October 15, 2035. 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 August 18, 2025 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.
