As you know, on May 22, 2012 DPM Acquisition, LLC successfully acquired substantially all of the assets of Pacific Monarch Resorts, Inc. Among the initial feedback received from the ownership base was a desire for a simpler way of searching availability and vacation planning. We have developed online booking solution that we believe satisfies the request, and the first step to utilizing this service is to register for an online account. For simplicity purposes, if you previously registered on MonarchGrandVacations.com, we have pre-registered you at our website with those same credentials. You can use your e-mail address in the field labeled Username – to move forward click here. If you have not previously registered on MonarchGrandVacations.com, to complete the registration process you will need the same 8 digit master number or contract number previously used as part of registration, along with your phone number. For reference purpose, if you have the quarterly statement available we have highlighted where you can find this number. ]]> We are pleased to announce that all owners of the Monarch Grand Vacations are now able to search availability and schedule vacations online at DiamondResorts.com. As part of delivering this service, we have adjusted the following for usage purposes: As you know, your points, or "VOP" represent the symbolic unit of measurement of your rights within the reservation system. We are proportionately increasing both your points and the schedule to align with Diamond Resorts point schedules already in use at DiamondResorts.com. As an owner of Monarch Grand Vacations, the Vacation Ownership Points ("VOP") you are allocated for use each 24 month use term has been increased by a factor of 60 to align with Diamond Resorts Points values. For example: On January 17, 2005, Mary purchased 100 VOP of Monarch Grand Vacations. Her transaction closed escrow in early February, and her anniversary was set as April 1, 2005. She had to make use of these points by March 31, 2007. She was allocated 100 VOP on April 1, 2005 and subsequently on April 1, 2007/2009/2011, with the same two year use term. For usage purposes, moving forward, instead of 100 VOP each use term, Mary will be credited with 6,000 points at the beginning of each use term. On July 12, 2006, John purchased 155 VOP of Monarch Grand Vacations. His transaction closed escrow in late July, and his anniversary was set as September 1, 2006. He had to make use of these points by August 31, 2008. He was allocated 155 VOP on September 1, 2006 and subsequently on September 1, 2008/2010/2012, with the same two year use term. For usage purposes, moving forward, instead of 155 VOP each use term, John will be credited with 9,300 points at the beginning of each use term. Both the "VOP Vacation Schedule" and "VOP" for all Monarch Grand Vacations owners have been adjusted similar to the examples illustrated above. It is our hope that you recognize that this adjustment in the symbolic currency of measurement will not impact your ability to continue to enjoy vacations as you have in the past. If you have any questions, please feel free to visit the FAQ section of our website. Additionally, we have adjusted the “VOP Vacation Schedule” by the same factor of 60.
