Offering of the Notes

On November 26, 2025, Hyatt Hotels Corporation (the “Company”) issued and sold $400,000,000 of its 5.400% Senior Notes due 2035 (the “Notes”) in a public offering (the “Offering”) pursuant to an effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-274272) (the “Registration Statement”). The Company received net proceeds from the Offering of approximately $396.2 million, after deducting underwriters’ discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to repay all of the 4.850% notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). The Company will use any remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes the Company may deem necessary or advisable, and to pay fees and expenses related to the Offering.

Indenture

The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated August 30, 2023 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a fourth supplemental indenture, dated November 26, 2025 (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee, setting forth the terms of the Notes.

The Base Indenture was included as Exhibit 4.5 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-274272), filed on August 30, 2023, and is incorporated herein by reference. The Fourth Supplemental Indenture and the form of the Notes are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The Fourth Supplemental Indenture and the form of the Notes are also filed with reference to, and are hereby incorporated by reference in, the Registration Statement.

Terms of the Notes

Interest and Maturity. The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 5.400% per annum, which will be payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2026. The Notes will mature on December 15, 2035.

Redemption. At any time prior to September 15, 2035, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest plus a “make-whole” amount calculated at the applicable Treasury Rate, plus 20 basis points.

Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the Indenture), the holders of the Notes may require the Company to purchase for cash all or a portion of the holders’ Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

Covenants. The Indenture does not limit the ability of the Company or its subsidiaries to issue or incur other debt or issue preferred stock. Subject to certain important exceptions, the Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability and the ability of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries to create liens on principal property, enter into sale and leaseback transactions with respect to principal property and enter into mergers or consolidations or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

Ranking. The Notes rank equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s other existing and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness, senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s future subordinated indebtedness and effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future secured obligations to the extent of the value of the assets securing such obligations. The Notes are not obligations of, nor are they guaranteed by, any of the Company’s subsidiaries. As a result, the Notes are structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future liabilities (including trade payables) of each of the Company’s subsidiaries.

The descriptions of the Indenture and the Notes herein are summaries and are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the Indenture and the Notes.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

Underwriting Agreement

The Notes were sold pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, dated as of November 17, 2025 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), by and among the Company and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., PNC Capital Markets LLC and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein. The Underwriting Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell the Notes to the underwriters and the underwriters agreed to purchase the Notes from the Company for resale to the public in the Offering.

The Underwriting Agreement is attached as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The Underwriting Agreement is also filed with reference to, and is hereby incorporated by reference in, the Registration Statement.

Legal Opinion Letter

In connection with the Offering, a legal opinion letter of Latham & Watkins LLP regarding the validity of the Notes is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto. The legal opinion letter is also filed with reference to, and is hereby incorporated by reference in, the Registration Statement.

Redemption of the 2026 Notes

On November 20, 2025, the Company issued a notice of redemption to holders of its 2026 Notes for the redemption of all $400,000,000 outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes. The redemption date for the 2026 Notes will be December 15, 2025. The redemption price for the 2026 Notes will be calculated in accordance with the indenture governing the 2026 Notes and will be equal to the sum of 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

After such redemption, no 2026 Notes will remain outstanding. The Company intends to fund the redemption with the proceeds from the Offering. The foregoing does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the 2026 Notes.
