COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Bass Pro Shops Marketing Agreement Commitments
In November 2023, we entered into a 10-year exclusive marketing agreement with Bass Pro Shops (“Bass Pro”), a nationally-recognized retailer of fishing, marine, hunting, camping and sports gear, that provides us with the right to market and sell vacation packages at kiosks in Bass Pro’s and Cabela’s retail locations and through other means. This agreement became effective on the Bluegreen Acquisition Date. As a part of this agreement, we are required to make certain minimum annual payments and certain variable payments based upon the number of travel packages sold during the year or the number of Bass Pro and Cabela’s retail locations HGV maintains during the year.
As of March 31, 2026, HGV had sales and marketing operations at a total of 144 Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s Stores, including 7 virtual kiosks.
Other Commitments
We have fulfilled certain arrangements with developers where we were committed to purchase vacation ownership units or other real estate at a future date to be marketed and sold under our Hilton Grand Vacations brand. As of March 31, 2026, we were committed to purchase approximately $212 million of inventory over a period of 9 years and $42 million of other commitments in the normal course of business. The actual amount and timing of the acquisitions are subject to change pursuant to the terms of the respective arrangements, which could also allow for cancellation in certain circumstances.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we fulfilled $14 million of purchases required under our inventory commitments. As of March 31, 2026, our remaining obligations pursuant to these arrangements were expected to be incurred as follows:

Litigation Contingencies
We are involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business, some of which includes claims for substantial sums. We evaluate these legal proceedings and claims at each balance sheet date to determine the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and, when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss. We record a contingent litigation liability when it is determined that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we accrued liabilities of approximately $8 million, respectively, for all legal matters.
While we currently believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows, or materially adversely affect overall trends in our results of operations, legal proceedings are inherently uncertain and unfavorable rulings could, individually or in aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
Surety Bonds
We utilize surety bonds related to the sales of VOIs in order to meet regulatory requirements of certain states. The availability, terms and conditions and pricing of such bonding capacity are dependent on, among other things, continued financial strength and stability of the insurance company affiliates providing the bonding capacity, general availability of such capacity and our corporate credit rating. We have commitments from surety providers in the amount of $400 million as of March 31, 2026, that primarily consist of escrow and subsidy related bonds.
