Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 6, 2025, Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. (“Host L.P.”), for whom Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. acts as sole general partner, entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, BofA Securities, Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, BofA Securities, Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC agreed to serve as representatives of the several underwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement in connection with the public offering by Host L.P. of $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.700% Series M senior notes due 2032 (the “Series M senior notes”).

The net proceeds to Host L.P. from the sale of the Series M senior notes, after deducting the underwriting discount, de minimis original issue discount and estimated transaction expenses, are estimated to be approximately $490 million. Host L.P. intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Series M senior notes, together with cash on hand, to redeem all of the outstanding $500 million aggregate principal amount of Host L.P.’s Series E senior notes due 2025 (the “Series E senior notes”).

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is being filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On May 7, 2025, Host L.P. gave notice that it intends to redeem all of the outstanding Series E senior notes. The redemption date for the Series E senior notes is May 22, 2025 (the “Redemption Date”), pursuant to an irrevocable notice delivered by The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, on Host L.P.’s behalf on May 7, 2025.

The Series E senior notes were issued pursuant to the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 15, 2015 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), to Host L.P.’s Indenture, dated as of May 15, 2015, among Host L.P. and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. Under the terms of the Series E senior notes, the redemption price will be (a) 100.000% of the principal amount thereof plus (b) accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

The Series E senior notes are being redeemed with the net proceeds from Host L.P.’s issuance of its Series M senior notes, together with cash on hand.
