Item 1.01.     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Overview
On May 20, 2026, Travel + Leisure Co. (the “Company”) and U.S. Bank Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), entered into the fifth supplemental indenture (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture”) to the indenture, dated December 13, 2019 (the “Base Indenture” and, together with the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), in connection with the issuance and sale of $900,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.250% senior secured notes due 2031 (the “Notes”) to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and certain other initial purchasers (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”). The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to redeem all of its outstanding 6.625% secured notes due July 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), towards repayment of outstanding borrowings under its secured revolving credit facility due June 2030 and, to the extent there are any remaining proceeds, for general corporate purposes.
Interest; Ranking; Guarantees
The Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.250% per year payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing December 1, 2026. The Notes are senior secured obligations and are equal in right of payment with the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness from time to time outstanding, including obligations under its Credit Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2018, with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, the several lenders and letter of credit issuers from time to time party thereto, and the other parties thereto (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) (except to the extent of any guarantees thereof) and the 2026 Notes, the Company’s 6.00% Notes due 2027, the Company’s 4.50% Notes due 2029, the Company’s 4.625% Notes due 2030 and the Company’s 6.125% Notes due 2033. The Notes are effectively senior to unsecured and junior lien claims against the Company’s subsidiaries to the extent of the value of the collateral securing the Notes at such subsidiary. To the extent the claims under the Notes exceed the value of collateral securing the Notes, the Notes will be structurally subordinated to claims against the Company’s subsidiaries, including trade claims and claims under the guarantees on the Credit Agreement. The Notes are structurally subordinated to all obligations of each of the Company’s subsidiaries in excess of the value of the collateral of such subsidiary securing the Notes, including claims with respect to trade payables.
The Notes are not guaranteed. However, the Indenture provides that in the future, subsidiary guarantees may be added, released, or terminated under certain circumstances.
Optional Redemption
Prior to June 1, 2028, the Company will be entitled at its option to redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus a “make-whole premium” plus any accrued and unpaid interest. At any time on or after June 1, 2028, the Company may redeem all or a portion of the Notes at certain redemption prices above their face amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. On or after June 1, 2030 the Company will be able to redeem the Notes at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
Change of Control
Subject to certain limitations, in the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the Indenture), the Company will be required to offer to repurchase the Notes at a price of 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of repurchase.
Covenants; Events of Default
The Indenture contains certain covenants, including, among others, covenants that restrict the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to incur debt secured by liens and to enter into sale and leaseback transactions. The Indenture also contains customary provisions for events of default including for failure to pay principal or interest when due and payable, failure to comply with covenants or agreements in the Indenture or the Notes and failure to cure or obtain a waiver of such default upon notice, a default under other debt of the Company or certain of its subsidiaries such that at least the greater of (a) $100 million and (b) 1.5% of Consolidated Total Assets (as defined in the Indenture), which acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled within 30 days of notice, and events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. In the case of an event of default, the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest may be accelerated.
Certain Relationships
The Initial Purchasers and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial lending services in the ordinary course of business with the Company or its affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions. Certain of the Initial Purchasers may hold the 2026 Notes and therefore may receive a portion of the proceeds from the Notes upon the redemption of the 2026 Notes. Certain



of the initial purchasers and/or their affiliates may be lenders and/or agents under the revolving credit facility and therefore may receive a portion of the proceeds from the Notes upon the Company’s repayment of its outstanding borrowings thereunder.

The Base Indenture, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture and the form of Note are filed hereto as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.
