Item 1.01     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     As previously disclosed, on July 27, 2006, Realogy Corporation (“Realogy”) entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement that sets forth the agreements among Realogy, Cendant Corporation (“Cendant”), Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (“Wyndham”) and Travelport Inc. (“Travelport”) regarding the principal transactions necessary to effect the simultaneous separations of Realogy and Wyndham from their former parent company, Cendant. The Separation and Distribution Agreement also sets forth other agreements that govern certain aspects of Realogy’s ongoing relationships with Cendant, Wyndham and Travelport after the separations of Realogy and Wyndham, which were completed on July 31, 2006. A copy of the Separation and Distribution Agreement was attached as Exhibit 2.1 to Realogy’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 31, 2006. Under the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Cendant is obligated to contribute a significant portion of the proceeds (after taxes, fees and expenses and the retirement of Travelport borrowings) from the sale of Travelport to Realogy and Wyndham. Section 12.3 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement required Realogy to use its share of the proceeds that Cendant receives in the sale of Travelport solely to reduce Realogy’s indebtedness.
     On August 23, 2006, Realogy, Cendant, Travelport and Wyndham entered into a letter agreement, under which Cendant, Travelport and Wyndham (1) consented to the use by Realogy of up to $1 billion of the Travelport proceeds it receives principally for the purpose of repurchasing shares of Realogy common stock until such time as Realogy obtains long-term financing to replace its interim loan facility and (2) waived, and released Realogy from, Realogy’s obligation under the Separation and Distribution Agreement to utilize such amount of the Travelport proceeds to repay and/or reduce outstanding amounts under the Realogy’s existing credit facilities (or any replacement thereto) so long as such amount of the Travelport proceeds are used in the manner described in clause (1). The letter agreement became effective upon the closing of Cendant’s sale of Travelport on August 23, 2006.
     A copy of the letter agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference into this item.
Item 7.01     Regulation FD Disclosure.
     On August 23, 2006, Cendant announced that it had completed the sale of Travelport to affiliates of The Blackstone Group for $4.3 billion in cash (subject to closing adjustments). Realogy has been advised by Cendant that Realogy’s share of the proceeds from such sale (after taxes, fees and expenses and the retirement of Travelport borrowings) is estimated at approximately $1.4 billion.
     On August 23, 2006, Realogy issued a press release announcing (1) that its Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to 48 million shares of its approximately 250 million outstanding shares, or approximately 19% of its outstanding stock, (2) its intention to use available cash, including up to $1 billion of the expected proceeds from the sale of Travelport, to fund the Realogy share repurchase program, with the balance of the Travelport proceeds to be used to reduce Realogy’s outstanding unsecured indebtedness, and (3) updated full year financial projections for 2006. A copy of Realogy’s press release issued on August 23, 2006 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference into this item.
