Pebblebrook Hotel Trust Announces Exercise In Full of Underwriters’ Over-Allotment Option and Subsequent Closing of 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2026 - Seite 2

In connection with the pricing of the Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the underwriters, their respective affiliates and other financial institutions (the “Option Counterparties”). The capped call transactions cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of Common Shares underlying the Notes. The capped call transactions are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution to Common Shares upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of such converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The cap price of the capped call transactions was initially $33.0225, which represents a premium of 75.0% over the last reported sale price of Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on December 10, 2020, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions.

The Option Counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to Common Shares and/or purchasing or selling Common Shares or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions prior to the maturity of the Notes (and are likely to do so following any conversion, repurchase, or redemption of the Notes, to the extent the Company exercises the relevant election under the capped call transactions). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of Common Shares or the Notes, which could affect the ability of holders to convert the Notes. To the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of the Notes, it could also affect the number of Common Shares and value of the consideration that holders will receive upon conversion of the Notes.

The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to pay the cost of the capped call transactions, including the additional capped call transactions the Company entered into pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase additional Notes. The Company contributed the remainder of the net proceeds to its operating partnership. The operating partnership will use the net proceeds to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company’s senior unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured term loans.
