Form 8-K for HOST HOTELS & RESORTS, INC.


25-Jul-2012

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Creation of a Direct Fina


Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

See discussion of the amendment to the existing bank credit facility set forth below in Item 2.03, which is incorporated herein by reference.



Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. ("Host Inc.") and Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. ("Host LP"), for whom Host Inc. acts as sole general partner, are reporting that on July 25, 2012 Host L.P. entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to its existing bank credit facility dated as of November 22, 2011 with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, relating to a $1,000,000,000 revolving loan facility (the "Existing Credit Facility") for the purpose of adding a new term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000 (the "Term Loan"). Proceeds of the Term Loan will be used for debt repayment. The Term Loan was established through an exercise of the option under the Existing Credit Facility to increase the amount of the facility by up to $500,000,000. The Amendment also amended the Existing Credit Facility to retain the ability to exercise this option in the future for up to an additional $500,000,000 of commitments, subject to obtaining additional loan commitments and the satisfaction of the other conditions specified in the Existing Credit Facility.

The Term Loan will mature in July 2017. The maturity date of the revolving loan commitments under the Existing Credit Facility remains unchanged, with an initial scheduled maturity date in November 2015 and an option to extend such maturity for an additional year if certain conditions are met. The Term Loan does not require any scheduled amortization payments prior to maturity. Host LP will pay interest on the Term Loan at floating interest rates plus a margin ranging from (i) 165 to 265 basis points (depending on Host LP's consolidated leverage ratio) or (ii) following the date on which Host LP's long-term unsecured debt rating is investment grade and Host LP elects ratings-based pricing, 115 to 200 basis points (depending on Host LP's unsecured long-term debt rating). The Term Loan is otherwise subject to the same terms and conditions as those in the Existing Credit Facility regarding subsidiary guarantees and pledges of security interests in subsidiaries, operational covenants, financial covenants and events of default.

Existing Relationships with the Lenders

Host LP has ongoing relationships with most of the Term Loan lenders and the lenders that are parties to the Existing Credit Facility 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. 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 also acts as trustee for our senior notes.
