Item 8.01 Other Events

On February 26, 2013, Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. ("Host L.P."), for whom Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. ("Host Inc.") acts as a sole general partner, gave notice that it intends to redeem the remaining $175 million in outstanding principal amount of Host L.P.'s 3.25% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2024 (the "Exchangeable Debentures"). The redemption date for the Exchangeable Debentures is March 28, 2013 (the "Redemption Date") pursuant to an irrevocable notice delivered by the trustee on Host L.P.'s behalf on February 26, 2013. The Exchangeable Debentures were issued pursuant to a supplement to Host L.P.'s Amended and Restated Indenture, dated August 5, 1998, (the "Indenture") originally among HMH Properties, Inc. (now Host L.P.), the subsidiary guarantors named therein, and HSBC Bank USA f/k/a Marine Midland Bank (now succeeded by The Bank of New York Mellon), as trustee. Under the terms of the Exchangeable Debentures, the redemption price will be 100.000% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

Because Host L.P. has called the Exchangeable Debentures for redemption on the Redemption Date, the Exchangeable Debentures became exchangeable during the period beginning February 26, 2013 and ending at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 26, 2013, which is the second Business Day prior to the Redemption Date. The current exchange price is 67.4215 shares of Host Inc. common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Exchangeable Debentures (which is equivalent to an exchange price of $14.83 per share). Based on the exchange price, we expect that holders of Exchangeable Debentures will elect to exchange their Exchangeable Debentures for shares of Host Inc. common stock rather than receive the cash redemption price as long as the common stock price exceeds $14.83.

Assuming that all holders of Exchangeable Debentures elect to exchange their Exchangeable Debentures for shares of Host Inc. common stock, Host Inc. expects to issue approximately 11.8 million shares of common stock based on the current exchange price of 67.4215 shares of Host Inc. common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Exchangeable Debentures. Host Inc. will issue the shares of common stock in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
