Item 1.01.	Entry Into a Material Agreement.

On August 7, 2017, ClubCorp Club Operations, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“ClubCorp Operations”), entered into a Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 7, 2017, by and between ClubCorp Operations and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture” ). The Supplemental Indenture amends that certain Indenture, dated as of December 15, 2015 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance of ClubCorp Operations’ 8.25% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”).

As previously disclosed, on July 9, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Constellation Club Parent, Inc. and Constellation Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”). In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, on July 25, 2017, Merger Sub launched a tender offer to purchase any and all outstanding Notes and a consent solicitation in respect of certain proposed amendments to the Indenture. The Supplemental Indenture was entered into in connection with the tender offer and consent solicitation following receipt of the requisite tenders and consents from holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Monday, August 7, 2017. The Supplemental Indenture, when it becomes operative, will effect those amendments to the Indenture proposed in connection with the tender offer and consent solicitation, which amendments will eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and eliminate or modify certain reporting obligations, certain events of default and related provisions contained in the Indenture. The amendments to the Indenture will not become operative until the tendered Notes are accepted for purchase by Merger Sub, pursuant to the terms of the tender offer and consent solicitation. After the amendments to the Indenture become operative, Notes that were not tendered or were not purchased in the tender offer and consent solicitation will remain outstanding and will be subject to the terms of the Indenture as modified by the Supplemental Indenture.

The foregoing description of the Supplemental Indenture and the amendments contained therein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Supplemental Indenture, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.



Item 3.03.	Material Modification of Rights to Security Holders.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 is incorporated by reference herein as such information relates to the Notes.



Item 7.01.	Regulation FD Disclosure.

On August 7, 2017, Merger Sub issued a press release announcing the receipt of the requisite consents in connection with Merger Sub’s tender offer and consent solicitation with respect to the Notes. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
