Item 7.01.

Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously reported in its press release, dated August 1, 2016, Diamond Resorts International, Inc. (the “Company”) postponed its second quarter 2016 earnings release because its independent registered public accounting firm, BDO USA, LLP, has expressed the view that the Company may not have correctly applied the relative sales value inventory valuation model in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for 2014 and subsequent periods. As disclosed in its press release, if the Company determines that a change in relative sales value methodology is determined to have occurred which results in a material adjustment, the Company would file amendments to its periodic reports impacted by such adjustment with restated financial information.

While the Company continues to review this matter, the Company believes that any changes to its financial statements would have been triggered by a 2014 event and would result in an increase in the Company’s net income for 2014, and relatively smaller decreases in the Company’s net income for 2015 and the first quarter of 2016. To the extent required, the Company would expect to file any amended periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the beginning of next week, and the Company also expects to release its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 by the beginning of next week. In addition, the Company expects to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 no later than Tuesday, August 9, 2016 (the deadline for filing such report).

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
