Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) at June 30, 2024. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below. These material weaknesses have not been remediated as of June 30, 2024.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As described in Part II, Item 9A "Controls and Procedures" of our 2023 Annual Report, as of December 31, 2023, management identified a material weakness relating to the design of management's review controls of potential triggering events related to the evaluation for impairment of goodwill relating to our Park Holidays business within the UK reporting segment.

Subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2024, management identified a material weakness relating to the design of management's review controls of the testing for long-lived asset impairments as of March 31, 2024, relating to certain other properties within the UK reporting segment. Management has concluded that this material weakness did not create any material misstatement to previously issued financial statements for any prior periods or the current period.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses

The Company and its Board of Directors are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment. Management, with oversight from the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, has developed, and is implementing, a comprehensive plan to remediate the material weaknesses. Remediation efforts are focused on more rigorous policies and procedures and sufficiency of reviews for the Company's evaluation of impairment for goodwill and long-lived assets. These efforts will include enhanced education and training, including continuing professional education related to the evaluation of goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment, development of a continuous process for monitoring, assessment and communication, as well as involvement of additional key stakeholders in reviews.

Management believes the measures described above will remediate the material weaknesses that we have identified. As management continues to evaluate and improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we may decide to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify certain of the remediation measures identified.

We will not be able to conclude whether these efforts will fully remediate the material weaknesses until the updated controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that such controls are operating effectively.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, we continued to enhance and refine our processes, procedures, and controls in conjunction with the launch and adoption of a new integrated ERP system, which replaced many of our existing core financial systems. The system enhances efficiencies and simplifies our accounting and reporting processes.

Except as discussed in the preceding paragraph and above under "Remediation of Material Weaknesses," there were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various legal proceedings. Refer to "Legal Proceedings" in Part 1 - Item 1 - Note 17, "Commitments and Contingencies," in our accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Environmental Matters

Item 103 of Regulation S-K requires disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that we reasonably believe will exceed an applied threshold not to exceed $1.0 million. Applying this threshold, there are no environmental matters to disclose for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
