Item 5.02    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers;
Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

(b) Departure of Officer

On February 7, 2024, Valerie Henry, our Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer notified us that she will be resigning in order to pursue an opportunity at a different company. We anticipate that Ms. Henry will remain our employee in her current capacity through March 1, 2024. Her resignation was not the result of any disagreement between her and us regarding our accounting operations, policies or practices.

(c) Appointment of Officer

Following Ms. Henry’s last day of employment, Paul Seavey, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will assume the responsibilities of principal accounting officer. Mr. Seavey’s biographical data is incorporated herein by reference as set forth in our proxy statement filed on March 15, 2023. With respect to the disclosure required by Item 401 of Regulation S-K, there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Seavey and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as an officer, and there are no family relationships between Mr. Seavey and any of our directors or executive officers. With respect to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, there are no relationships or related transactions between Mr. Seavey and us that would be required to be disclosed. No new compensatory arrangements will be entered into with Mr. Seavey in connection with Mr. Seavey assuming the role of principal accounting officer.

This report includes certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used, words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe,” “project,” “intend,” “may be” and “will be” and similar words or phrases, or the negative thereof, unless the context requires otherwise, are intended to identify forward-looking statements and may include, without limitation, information regarding our expectations, goals or intentions regarding the future, and the expected effect of our acquisitions. Forward-looking statements, by their nature, involve estimates, projections, goals, forecasts and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in a forward-looking statement due to a number of factors, which include, but are not limited to the following: (i) the mix of site usage within the portfolio; (ii) yield management on our short-term resort and marina sites; (iii) scheduled or implemented rate increases on community, resort and marina sites; (iv) scheduled or implemented rate increases in annual payments under membership subscriptions; (v) occupancy changes; (vi) our ability to attract and retain membership customers; (vii) change in customer demand regarding travel and outdoor vacation destinations; (viii) our ability to manage expenses in an inflationary environment; (ix) our ability to integrate and operate recent acquisitions in accordance with our estimates; (x) our ability to execute expansion/development opportunities in the face of supply chain delays/shortages; (xi) completion of pending transactions in their entirety and on assumed schedule; (xii) our ability to attract and retain property employees, particularly seasonal employees; (xiii) ongoing legal matters and related fees; (xiv) costs to restore property operations and potential revenue losses following storms or other unplanned events; and (xv) the potential impact of, and our ability to remediate material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

For further information on these and other factors that could impact us and the statements contained herein, refer to our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” sections in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Form 10-K/A and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Form 10-Q/A.
    
These forward-looking statements are based on management's present expectations and beliefs about future events. As with any projection or forecast, these statements are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. We are under no obligation to, and expressly disclaim any obligation to, update or alter our forward-looking statements whether as a result of such changes, new information, subsequent events or otherwise.
We are a fully integrated owner of lifestyle-oriented properties and own or have an interest in 451 properties located predominantly in the United States consisting of 172,465 sites as of January 29, 2024. We are a self-administered, self-managed, real estate investment trust with headquarters in Chicago.
