Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On
July 9, 2020, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (“RCL”) acquired the 33.33% interest in Silversea
Cruise Holding Ltd. that it did not already own (the “Silversea Shares”). Silversea Cruise Holding Ltd. is now a wholly
owned subsidiary of RCL. As consideration for the Silversea Shares, RCL issued to Heritage Cruise Holding Ltd. (the “Seller”),
an affiliate of Mr. Lefebvre, five million two hundred thousand (5,200,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share,
of RCL (the “RCL Shares”). This issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Seller represented to RCL that it is
an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of the Securities Act and that it is acquiring the RCL Shares for its
own account for investment and not with a view towards distribution in a manner which would violate the Securities Act or any applicable
state or other securities laws. Any share certificates or book-entry evidence representing the RCL Shares shall bear an appropriate
legend or notation.
Pursuant
to the agreement governing the acquisition of the Silversea Shares and the issuance of the RCL Shares, among other things, the
parties terminated any obligation of RCL to issue to the Seller any contingent consideration in connection with RCL’s acquisition
of a 66.67% interest in Silversea Cruise Holding Ltd. on July 31, 2018.
A copy of a press release
related to this announcement is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
