Service Properties Trust Provides Business Update

Key Terms

senior unsecured notes financial

Senior unsecured notes are a type of loan a company borrows from investors, promising to pay back with interest. They are called "unsecured" because they aren’t backed by specific assets like buildings or equipment, but "senior" because they are paid back before other debts if the company gets into trouble. Investors see them as a relatively safer way for companies to raise money.

make-whole premium financial

A make-whole premium is an extra payment a borrower must give bondholders when repaying debt early to compensate them for lost future interest; think of it as a lump-sum “catch-up” to leave lenders financially where they would have been if the loan had run its full term. It matters to investors because it affects how much they receive on early redemption and influences a company’s decision to refinance or repay debt, altering bond value and expected returns.

Announces Partial Early Redemption of Senior Unsecured Notes due February 2027

NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Service Properties Trust (Nasdaq: SVC) (“SVC”) today provided an update on its hotel dispositions and recent actions to strengthen its balance sheet.

Hotel Sales

Year to date, SVC has sold 112 hotels with a total of 14,631 keys for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $859 million. SVC remains under agreement to sell two additional hotels for a total sales price of approximately $12 million, and expects to complete one of those sales by year end and the other in January 2026.

An agreement for the sale of seven focused-service hotels totaling 890 keys for a total sales price of approximately $88 million has been terminated and SVC is evaluating sale alternatives for these hotels. Additionally, SVC intends to initiate marketing efforts in early 2026 to sell seven full-service hotels totaling 2,010 keys for projected gross proceeds of $90 million to $110 million.

Debt Redemption

SVC also announced today the early redemption of $300 million of its aggregate $400 million of outstanding unsecured senior notes due February 2027 at a redemption price equal to the redeemed principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to, but not including, the redemption date of January 16, 2026, and the applicable make-whole premium. SVC expects to fund this redemption with the proceeds from completed hotel sales.

Chris Bilotto, President and Chief Executive Officer of SVC, made the following statement:

“In 2025, we made strong progress on our strategic priorities, successfully selling non-core, focused-service hotel assets and reallocating capital to strengthen our balance sheet. Building on this track record, we enter 2026 targeting transactions with the remaining focused-service hotels while advancing our broader deleveraging strategy through planned dispositions of full-service assets. These actions, combined with our commitment to improving operating performance and reducing leverage, will best position us to create long-term value for shareholders.”
