Item 8.01    Other Events.

As previously reported in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on January 4, 2017, Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (the "Company") completed the separation of a portfolio of its hotels and resorts and its timeshare business into two publicly traded companies: Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. ("Park") and Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. ("HGV"), respectively. As a result of these separations, the combined historical results of operations and financial position of Park and HGV have been reported as discontinued operations beginning with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2017 (the "First Quarter 2017 10-Q"), filed with the SEC on May 2, 2017. In addition, on May 24, 2017, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC (the "May 24, 2017 8-K") in order to retrospectively revise and supersede certain information in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 (the "2016 10-K") to reflect Park and HGV as discontinued operations.

This Form 8-K further revises and supersedes the following item included in the 2016 10-K solely in order to revise Note 24 of the financial statements included in the 2016 10-K to present separate columnar disclosure with respect to Hilton Domestic Operating Company Inc. ("HOC") in its capacity as successor issuer of the Company’s 4.250% Senior Notes due 2024. Information with respect to HOC, which previously served as a guarantor of the 5.625% Senior Notes due 2021 (the "2021 Notes") issued by Hilton Worldwide Finance LLC and Hilton Worldwide Finance Corp. (the "HWF Issuers") prior to the redemption of the 2021 Notes in March 2017, and currently serves as a guarantor of the 4.625% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes") and the 4.875% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 Notes") issued by the HWF Issuers, had previously been presented on a combined basis in the columnar disclosure for all guarantors of the 2021 Notes, the 2025 Notes and the 2027 Notes, as applicable.

Part II-Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

The exhibits included with this Current Report on Form 8-K, which are incorporated herein by reference, have been updated solely for matters relating to the reclassification of the historical results of operations and financial positions of Park and HGV as discontinued operations, and to update the presentation of historical guarantor information as described above and have not otherwise been updated for events occurring after the filing of the 2016 10-K. Therefore, this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the exhibits hereto, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2016 10-K and filings made by the Company with the SEC subsequent to the 2016 10-K filing, including the May 24, 2017 8-K and First Quarter 2017 10-Q.
