Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On October 21, 2026, Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. (“Host LP”), for whom Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (“Host Inc.”) is sole general partner, entered into an amendment and restatement (the “Restatement”) of its existing senior unsecured bank credit facility dated as of January 4, 2023 with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and certain other agents and lenders (as amended, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), for the purpose of replacing and refinancing (1) its existing $1,500,000,000 revolving credit facility tranche that was scheduled to mature in January 2027 (without taking into account the available extension option) with a new revolving credit facility tranche in the same committed amount (the “Revolver”), (2) its existing $500,000,000 term loan facility tranche that was scheduled to mature in January 2027 (without taking into account the extension option) with a new term loan facility tranche in the same principal amount (the “Term A-1 Facility”) and (3) its existing $500,000,000 term loan facility tranche that was scheduled to mature in January 2028 with a new term loan facility tranche in the same principal amount (the “Term A-2 Facility,” and together with the Term A-1 Facility, the “New Term Facilities”). The Restatement provides, among other things, for:
•an interest rate on all U.S. Dollar borrowings based on SOFR or a base rate plus, in each case, a margin that, subject to the adjustments described below, varies according to Host LP’s unsecured long-term debt rating, with such margin being (1) in the case of Revolver borrowings, a margin ranging from 65 to 135 basis points for SOFR borrowings and from zero to 35 basis points for base rate borrowings and (2) in the case of the New Term Facilities borrowings, a margin ranging from 70 to 155 basis points for SOFR borrowings or a margin ranging from zero to 55 basis points for base rate borrowings;
•in the case of the Revolver, a facility fee payable on the total amount of the Revolver commitment at a rate that, subject to the adjustments described below, varies according to Host LP’s unsecured long-term debt rating, with such fee ranging from 10 to 30 basis points;
•a new leverage-based pricing adjustment feature applicable any time that Host LP’s leverage ratio is not more than 4.00:1.00, in which case the otherwise applicable margin and the facility fee rates are reduced to the rates that would apply if Host LP’s unsecured long-term debt rating were one notch higher than the actual ratings then in effect;
•continuation of the sustainability pricing adjustment feature under the Existing Credit Agreement that (i) in the case of the Revolver, may result in an increase or decrease of the interest rate applicable to revolving loans of up to 4.0 basis points and an increase or decrease of the facility fee of up to 1.0 basis point and (ii) in the case of the New Term Facilities, may result in an increase or decrease of the interest rate applicable to term loans of up to 5.0 basis points, in each case, with the amount of such adjustment determined annually on the basis of an annual audited report of Host LP’s performance against established targets for (1) the percentage of our consolidated portfolio with green building certifications and (2) the percentage of electricity used at all our consolidated properties that is generated by renewable resources;
•a maturity date of (1) in the case of the Revolver, January 15, 2031, which date may be extended by up to a year by the exercise of either a 1-year extension option or up to two 6-month extension options, in each case, subject to certain customary conditions including the payment of an extension fee, (2) in the case of the Term A-1 Facility, January 15, 2031, which date may be extended up to a year by the exercise of a 1-year extension option, which is subject to certain customary conditions including the payment of an extension fee and (3) in the case of the Term A-2 Facility, January 15, 2032 (with no extension option);
•a foreign currency subfacility for Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, Euros, British Pounds Sterling and, if available to the lenders, Mexican Pesos of up to the foreign currency equivalent of $500,000,000, subject to a lower amount in the case of Mexican Pesos borrowings;
•an option for Host LP to add in the future up to $1,250,000,000 of commitments, which may be used for additional revolving credit facility borrowings and/or term loans, subject to obtaining additional loan commitments and the satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the Restatement;
•a subfacility of up to $100,000,000 for swingline borrowings and a subfacility of up to $100,000,000 for issuances of letters of credit;
•no required scheduled amortization payments prior to the maturity date of the Revolver, the Term A-1 Facility or the Term A-2 Facility, as applicable; and
•financial covenants (including covenants concerning leverage, fixed charge coverage and unsecured interest coverage) that are substantially the same as under the Existing Credit Agreement, including that, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, (i) our fixed charge coverage ratio may not be less than 1.25:1.00, (ii) our leverage ratio may not exceed 7.25:1.00 and (iii) our unsecured interest coverage ratio may not be less than (x) 1.75:1.00 if our leverage ratio is less than 7.00:1.00 or (y) 1.50:1.00 if our leverage ratio is equal to or greater than 7.00:1.00.
Borrowings under the Restatement may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including for the consummation of acquisitions. As of October 21, 2026, Host LP had no amounts outstanding under the Revolver other than existing letters of credit, $500,000,000 outstanding under the Term A-1 Facility and $500,000,000 outstanding under the Term A-2 Facility.
Other Covenants and Events of Acceleration
With the exception of the removal of certain debt and lien covenants that were applicable under the Existing Agreement, the Restatement imposes restrictions on customary matters that were generally also restricted in the Existing Credit Agreement.
The Restatement also includes financial covenant tests applicable to the incurrence of debt that are generally consistent with the limitations applicable under the senior notes indentures for our investment grade senior notes.
The Restatement includes usual and customary events of default for facilities of this nature, and provides that, upon occurrence and continuation of an event of default, payment of all amounts payable under the credit facilities may be accelerated, and the lenders’ commitments may be terminated. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain insolvency or bankruptcy related events of default, all amounts payable under the credit facilities will automatically become due and payable and the lenders’ commitments will automatically terminate.
The foregoing does not purport to be a complete description of the terms of the Restatement and such description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Restatement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Existing Relationships with the Lenders
Host LP has ongoing relationships with many of the lenders that are parties to the Restatement for which they have received customary fees and expenses. Certain of the lenders provide commercial banking services, including participations in mortgage loans and the provision of cash management services. Host LP has also entered into interest rate swap agreements and other hedging arrangements with certain lenders from time to time. Affiliates of certain of the lenders have also acted as underwriters for issuances of Host LP’s senior notes, as well as sales agents for issuances of equity securities of Host Inc. The Bank of New York Mellon also acts as trustee for our senior notes.
