(NYSE: RHP) (the “Company”), a leading lodging and hospitality real estate investment trust that specializes in group-oriented, upscale convention center resorts and entertainment experiences, today addressed recent media reports regarding the Company’s Opry Entertainment Group (“OEG”) business.

We remain focused on bringing artists and audiences together through iconic live entertainment experiences. We have previously shared our view that enabling OEG to operate outside of our REIT structure over time is important for its long-term growth trajectory, and we believe strategic partnerships can further support its growth.

We expect to play an integral role in the continued growth of OEG irrespective of any strategic partnerships being considered.”
The Company has not entered into any agreements, and there are no assurances that any transaction will occur.
