“Our second offering of 2019 was very well received by the market,” said Michael Hug, the chief financial officer of Wyndham Destinations. “The combination of strong demand and a lower benchmark rate allowed us to upsize the transaction by $50 million to $450 million while tightening the transaction by 61 basis points when compared to our last Sierra transaction in March of 2019. The coupon of 2.96% was the lowest since the Sierra 2016-3 issuance.”

The transaction was completed in reliance upon Rule 144A and Regulation S as a placement of securities not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities law.
