(“HGV”) in its definitive agreement to acquire Bluegreen Vacations, a leading vacation ownership company, for $75 per share in an all-cash transaction, representing a total consideration of approximately $1.5 billion, inclusive of net debt.
The transaction will increase HGV’s membership base from 525,000 to more than 740,000 and its resort portfolio from 150 to nearly 200 properties in 14 geographies and eight new states.
