Marostica was designated as a Class II director and will serve until Hyatt’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, continuing until a successor is duly elected and qualified.

Hyatt Hotels Corporation announced that Thomas J. Pritzker has retired as Executive Chairman of the Board effective immediately and will not stand for re-election as a Class II director at the 2026 Annual Meeting. He will continue to serve as a director for the remainder of his term.
The Board appointed Mark S. Hoplamazian, Hyatt’s President and Chief Executive Officer, as Chairman of the Board, combining the chairman and CEO roles effective immediately. Hyatt’s dual-class ownership structure under its charter remains unchanged by this leadership transition.
The 2007 Stockholders’ Agreement’s voting provisions, which required certain Class B shares to follow Board recommendations, terminate now that Mr. Pritzker is no longer Executive Chairman. As of the date of the report, 2,270,395 shares of Class B common stock, representing approximately 4.0% of total voting power, were subject to that agreement. Two other voting agreements remain in effect and unchanged.

Comparable system-wide hotel RevPAR rose 4.0% in the quarter and 2.9% for 2025, while all-inclusive resorts Net Package RevPAR increased 8.3% in the quarter and 8.6% for the year, showing healthy demand. Net income attributable to Hyatt was a loss of $20 million in the quarter and $52 million for 2025, but Adjusted Net Income reached $126 million in Q4 and $209 million for the year as one-time transaction, integration, and impairment items were excluded.
Adjusted EBITDA grew to $292 million in Q4 and $1,159 million for 2025, up 5.8% year over year. Net rooms grew 7.3% with a pipeline of about 148,000 rooms, underscoring continued expansion.

Hyatt Hotels Corporation has closed its previously announced sale of the Playa resort real estate portfolio, completing transactions that in total generate $2.0 billion in proceeds from 15 all-inclusive properties across Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica. The main asset sale to a buyer backed by KSL Capital Partners and Rodina includes a $200 million preferred equity investment by Hyatt and the potential for up to $143 million in additional earnout payments if certain operating thresholds are met.
Hyatt affiliates have entered into long-term commercial arrangements covering 13 of the 14 remaining properties, including 50-year hotel management agreements that keep Hyatt managing these resorts under terms consistent with its other all-inclusive deals. Separately, due to damage from Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica, 2025 full year Adjusted EBITDA outlook for Playa is reduced by $10 million at the midpoint, and Hyatt’s 2025 Adjusted EBITDA excluding Playa is now expected to be at the low end of the prior $1,090 million to $1,110 million range, primarily from weaker Distribution segment performance tied to cancellations in Jamaica.
Hyatt Hotels Corporation has completed a public offering of $400,000,000 of 5.400% Senior Notes due 2035. The company received approximately $396.2 million in net proceeds after underwriting discounts and expenses. Hyatt intends to use these proceeds to redeem all of its outstanding 4.850% notes due 2026, and to cover related fees and general corporate purposes. The new notes pay interest semi-annually each June 15 and December 15, starting June 15, 2026, and mature on December 15, 2035.
The notes are senior unsecured obligations ranking equally with Hyatt’s other unsecured unsubordinated debt and are structurally subordinated to liabilities of its subsidiaries. Hyatt may redeem the notes before September 15, 2035 at a make-whole price, and noteholders can require Hyatt to repurchase the notes at 101% of principal plus interest if a defined change of control event occurs. Hyatt has issued a redemption notice for all $400,000,000 of its 2026 notes, with a redemption date of December 15, 2025, to be funded with the new offering’s proceeds.
Hyatt Hotels Corporation has released unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflecting its acquisition of Playa Hotels & Resorts, N.V., which was completed on June 17, 2025.

The information, provided as Exhibit 99.1, helps readers understand the combined company’s scale and financial profile after the Playa transaction.

Hyatt Hotels Corporation furnished an update announcing results for its quarter ended September 30, 2025. The company issued a press release and published a supplemental investor presentation accessible via its investor relations website.
Both materials are furnished, not filed, and are incorporated by reference as Exhibits 99.1 (press release) and 99.2 (supplemental presentation). The filing notes these items are not subject to Section 18 liabilities of the Exchange Act and are only incorporated by specific reference where stated.
Hyatt Hotels Corporation entered a new senior unsecured revolving credit facility providing $1.5 billion of committed liquidity that matures on October 30, 2030. The agreement replaces the company’s 2022 facility. As of October 30, 2025, there were no borrowings outstanding.
The facility supports U.S. dollar borrowings and, subject to a $250 million sublimit, certain other currencies, and permits issuance of up to $300 million in letters of credit. Pricing varies with Hyatt’s debt ratings: base rate loans add 0.000%–0.250% per annum, while SOFR or applicable foreign‑currency rate loans add 0.775%–1.250% per annum, plus a facility fee of 0.090%–0.225% on committed amounts. Hyatt may also increase commitments by up to an additional $1 billion, subject to lender participation.
The agreement includes customary covenants, representations, and default provisions, and allows prepayment at any time subject to notice. This enhances financial flexibility without immediate cash inflow since no amounts are currently drawn.
Hyatt Hotels Corporation filed an amended Form 8-K to add unaudited pro forma financial information related to its completed acquisition of Playa Hotels & Resorts, N.V. Hyatt, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, purchased all issued and outstanding Playa ordinary shares at $13.50 per share in cash, subject to applicable withholding taxes and without interest, under a previously signed Purchase Agreement and tender offer.
The amendment supplies investors with combined financial views by including Hyatt’s unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, plus a pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2025. It also attaches Playa’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025. No other changes were made to the original report describing the acquisition.
Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) has entered into a transformative agreement to monetize the real-estate portion of its recently acquired Playa Hotels & Resorts platform while retaining long-term management control.
On 29 June 2025, Hyatt subsidiary HI Holdings Playa B.V. signed a Share Purchase Agreement with Turquoise Topco Limited—a joint venture backed by KSL Capital Partners and Rodina—to sell Playa Resorts Holding B.V. for an all-cash price of US$2.0 billion, subject to customary adjustments. An additional earn-out of up to US$143 million may be received if specified operating thresholds are met.
Transaction structure and financing: Buyer will use a mix of equity from KSL/Rodina, third-party debt, and a US$200 million preferred-equity investment from Hyatt. Closing is targeted before year-end 2025 and is contingent upon standard conditions, including clearance under Mexico’s Economic Competition Federal Law.
Strategic rationale: At closing, Hyatt and Buyer will enter into 50-year hotel-management agreements across the sold portfolio, preserving Hyatt’s all-inclusive fee structure and enabling an asset-light model that locks in long-duration, recurring revenue streams without balance-sheet exposure to owned real estate.
Following completion of the real-estate sale, Hyatt estimates its net purchase price for Playa’s asset-light management business at approximately US$555 million (gross purchase price less asset sale proceeds). Management projects stabilized Adjusted EBITDA of US$60–65 million in 2027, implying an EV/EBITDA multiple of 8.5×–9.5×; the multiple would decline further if the earn-out is achieved.
Key exhibits filed: (i) Exhibit 10.1 – Share Purchase Agreement, (ii) Exhibit 99.1 – press release dated 30 June 2025, and (iii) Exhibit 99.2 – supplemental investor presentation.
Risks & timing: The deal remains subject to regulatory approvals, financing completion by Buyer, and other customary closing conditions. Forward-looking statements highlight potential for deal termination, litigation, incremental costs, or regulatory delays that could materially affect outcomes.
Overall, the announced asset sale accelerates Hyatt’s ongoing shift toward an asset-light model, provides significant liquidity, and secures long-term management contracts, although completion risk and reliance on future operating performance for earn-out payments remain material considerations for investors.
