Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets, Results of Ope


Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of
Assets

On January 25, 2013, Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. (the "Company") completed the sale of a four-hotel 1,222-room portfolio and a commercial laundry facility (collectively, the "Portfolio"), in Rochester, Minnesota, to an unaffiliated third party (the "Buyer"), for a gross price of $230.0 million. The four hotels include the 660-room Kahler Grand, the 271-room Kahler Inn & Suites, the 202-room Marriott Rochester and the 89-room Residence Inn by Marriott Rochester. The Company has retained a $25.0 million preferred equity investment in the four-hotel Portfolio that yields an 11% dividend. In addition, the Company has retained a $14.0 million liability related to the Portfolio's pension plan, which could be triggered in certain circumstances, including termination of the pension plan. The Company has also provided a $3.7 million working cash advance to the Buyer that will be repaid to the Company from the Portfolio's available cash flow. Concurrent with the Portfolio sale, the Company has defeased the outstanding $26.7 million mortgage secured by the Kahler Grand for a total cost of approximately $30.0 million, prepaid the $0.4 million loan secured by the commercial laundry facility, and has written off $51,000 in related deferred financing fees.

There are no material relationships between the Buyer and the Company or any of its affiliates, or any director or officer of the Company, or any associate of any such director or officer, other than in respect of the Portfolio sale.

Exhibit No. Description
99.1 Press release dated January 25, 2013


Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The Company's historical financial information as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was derived from historical information originally reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 6, 2012. The Company's historical information for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was derived from its audited historical information originally reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2012.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information gives effect to the following transactions:

† The January 2013 sale of the Kahler Grand, the Kahler Inn & Suites, the Marriott Rochester, the Residence Inn by Marriott Rochester and a commercial laundry facility (the "Portfolio" sale), all located in Rochester, Minnesota for a gross sale price of $230.0 million;

† The January 2013 defeasance of debt secured by the Kahler Grand, and prepayment of debt secured by the commercial laundry facility, along with the related write-off of $51,000 in deferred financing fees; and

† The September 2012 sale of the Doubletree Guest Suites Minneapolis, the Hilton Del Mar, the Marriott Troy and an office building next to the Marriott Troy, along with the August 2012 sale of the Marriott Del Mar (collectively, the "2012 Dispositions").

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012 is presented as if the Portfolio sale and related repayment of debt in January 2013 had occurred on September 30, 2012. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 are presented as if the Portfolio sale and related repayment of debt in January 2013 had occurred on January 1, 2011. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 are presented as if the Portfolio sale and related repayment of debt in January 2013 along with the 2012 Dispositions had occurred on January 1, 2009. In the opinion of the Company's management, all significant adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of the Portfolio sale and related repayment of debt along with the 2012 Dispositions transactions that can be factually supported within the SEC regulations covering the preparation of pro forma financial statements have been made.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented for informational purposes only and do not purport to represent the Company's financial position or results of operations as if the transactions had occurred on the dates discussed above. They also do not project or forecast the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations for any future date or period.

The unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read together with the Company's historical consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 filed with the SEC on November 6, 2012, and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2012. The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and upon assumptions that management believes are reasonable; however, the Company cannot assure you that actual results would not differ from the pro forma information and perhaps in material and adverse ways. No attempt has been made to update matters in the unaudited pro forma financials except to the extent expressly provided above.

SUNSTONE HOTEL INVESTORS, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012 is based on the Company's historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012, as adjusted to assume that the following transactions which occurred in January 2013, had occurred on September 30, 2012:

† The sale of the Kahler Grand, the Kahler Inn & Suites, the Marriott Rochester, the Residence Inn by Marriott Rochester and a commercial laundry facility (the "Portfolio" sale), all located in Rochester, Minnesota for a gross sale price of $230.0 million; and

† The defeasance of debt on the Kahler Grand and the prepayment of debt on the commercial laundry facility, whose debt totaled $27.7 million as of September 30, 2012.

In management's opinion, all material adjustments to reflect the effects of the preceding transactions have been made. The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012 is presented for illustrative purposes only, and is not necessarily indicative of what the Company's actual financial position would have been had the transactions described above occurred on September 30, 2012, nor does it purport to represent the Company's future financial position.

Notes and Management Assumptions:



A.       Reflects the Portfolio sale as follows (in thousands):



Gross sale price                  $ 230,000
Preferred equity investment (1)     (25,000 )
Estimated closing costs              (6,092 )
Working capital advances (2)         (3,653 )
Net sale price                    $ 195,255



(1) The Company entered into a joint venture agreement with the Buyer and retains a $25.0 million perpetual preferred investment ("Preferred Equity Investment") with an eleven percent (11%) dividend rate, resulting in a deferred gain on the sale of $25.0 million. The gain will be deferred until the Preferred Equity Investment is repaid. The Preferred Equity Investment is recorded at cost on the balance sheet, net of the deferred gain, resulting in a net book value of zero on the accompanying pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012.

(2) Includes a working cash advance to the buyer of the Portfolio that will be repaid to the Company from the Portfolio's available cash flow.

Other balance sheet adjustments for the Portfolio sale reflect the disposal of the net book value of the investment in hotel properties and related capital accounts and associated increase to retained earnings for the net estimated gain on sale using values in existence as the September 30, 2012 pro forma consolidated balance sheet date.

B. Reflects the Repayment of Debt as follows:

† Defeasance of debt on the Kahler Grand and the prepayment of debt on the commercial laundry facility, whose debt totaled $27.7 million as of September 30, 2012;

† Total defeasance and prepayment costs of $2.9 million, which will be included in discontinued operations in the Company's first quarter 2013 statement of operations;

† Write-off of related deferred financing fees which totaled approximately $60,000 as of September 30, 2012. This write-off will be included in discontinued operations in the Company's first quarter 2013 statement of operations; and

† Release of $0.7 million of restricted cash from the lender escrow reserves.
