8. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
2011 Acquisitions
In 2011, we contributed approximately $51 million (€37 million) in cash for the intellectual property and associated 50 percent interests in two new joint ventures formed for the operation, management and development of AC Hotels by Marriott, initially in Europe but eventually in other parts of the world. The hotels will be managed by the joint ventures or franchised at the direction of the joint ventures. As noted in Footnote No. 15, “Contingencies,” we have a right and, in some circumstances, an obligation to acquire the remaining interest in the joint ventures over the next nine years.
In 2011, we acquired certain assets and a leasehold on a hotel for an initial payment of $34 million (€25 million) in cash plus fixed annual rent. See Footnote No. 21, “Leases,” for additional information. As noted in Footnote No. 15, “Contingencies,” we also have a right and, in some circumstances, an obligation to acquire the landlord’s interest in the real estate property and attached assets of this hotel for $58 million (€45 million) during the next three years.
Late in 2011, we paid cash deposits of $6 million on a property we planned to develop into a hotel. Subsequent to fiscal year-end 2011, we acquired the associated land and a building for $160 million in cash.
2011 Dispositions
On November 21, 2011, we completed the spin-off of our timeshare operations and timeshare development business through a special tax-free dividend to our shareholders of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of MVW, our wholly owned subsidiary. We made a pro rata distribution to our shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 10, 2011 of one share of MVW common stock for every ten shares of Marriott common stock. We recognized no gain or loss as a result of the spin-off transaction. Please see Footnote No. 17, “Spin-off” for additional information.
In 2011, we completed a bulk sale of land and developed inventory for net cash proceeds of $17 million and recorded a net gain of $2 million, which was included in the results of our former Timeshare segment.
In 2011, we sold our 11 percent interest in one hotel, concurrently terminated the associated lease agreement, and entered into a long-term management agreement. Cash proceeds totaled $1 million, and we recognized a $2 million loss. Our sale of the 89 percent interest in 1999 was accounted for under the financing method with proceeds reflected as long-term debt. In conjunction with the sale of the 11 percent interest in 2011, assets decreased by $19 million and liabilities decreased by $17 million.
2010 Acquisitions
In 2010, we acquired one land parcel for hotel development and one hotel for cash consideration of $175 million. We also acquired timeshare and fractional units for use in The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club program for cash consideration of $112 million, which included a deposit of $11 million, paid in 2009.
2010 Dispositions
In 2010, we sold two limited-service properties, one full-service property, and one land parcel for cash proceeds of $114 million and recorded a net gain of $27 million. We accounted for each of the sales under the full accrual method in accordance with accounting for sales of real estate. We will continue to operate the one full-service property and one of the limited-service properties under management agreements. The one other limited-service property left our system.
2009 Acquisitions and Dispositions
We made no significant acquisitions or dispositions in 2009.
