Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. ("Park" or the "Company") PK announced today that certain of its subsidiaries, Park Intermediate Holdings LLC (the "Operating Company"), PK Domestic Property LLC ("PK Domestic LLC") and PK Finance Co-Issuer Inc. (together with the Operating Company and PK Domestic LLC, the "Issuers"), completed the previously announced offerings of $550 million aggregate principal amount of 7.500% senior secured notes due 2025 (the "Initial Notes") and $100 million aggregate principal amount of 7.500% senior secured notes due 2025 (together with the Initial Notes, the "Notes"). The Notes will pay interest semi-annually in arrears, at a rate of 7.500% per year, and will mature on June 1, 2025. The Notes are guaranteed by Park and certain subsidiaries of the Operating Company that guarantee indebtedness under the Company's senior credit facilities. The Notes are secured, subject to permitted liens, by a first priority security interest in all of the capital stock of certain wholly owned subsidiaries of certain of the guarantors and PK Domestic LLC, which collateral also secures the obligations under the Company's senior credit facilities on a first priority basis.

The Company used $150 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the Initial Notes to repay amounts outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility and intends to use the next $350 million of the net proceeds from the offerings of the Notes for general corporate purposes and the remaining net proceeds from the offerings of the Notes to repay equal amounts under the Company's revolving credit facility and its 2016 term loan.

"I am pleased to announce the successful completion of our first bond offering, marking Park's access to a diversified source of capital during this challenging economic environment," said Thomas J. Baltimore, Jr., Chairman and CEO of Park. "We were pleased with the strong investor interest we received, which allowed us to upsize the offering and repay a portion of the debt related to our revolving credit facility and term loan. With approximately $1.8 billion in liquidity and no major maturities until late 2021, Park is well positioned to weather the current operating environment."

The Notes and the related guarantees were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities laws. The Notes were not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Notes were offered only to persons reasonably believed to be "qualified institutional buyers" in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a sale of, the Notes or any other securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to Park's current expectations regarding the performance of its business, financial results, liquidity and capital resources, the effects of competition and the effects of future legislation or regulations, the expected completion of anticipated dispositions, the declaration and payment of future dividends, and other non-historical statements. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts, and in some cases, can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words "outlook," "believes," "expects," "potential," "continues," "may," "will," "should," "could," "seeks," "projects," "predicts," "intends," "plans," "estimates," "anticipates" or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. You should not rely on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Company's control and which could materially affect its results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, performance or future achievements or events. Currently, one of the most significant factors is the potential adverse effect of COVID-19, on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance, its hotel management companies and its hotels' tenants, and the global economy and financial markets. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company, its hotel managers, tenants and guests at the Company's hotels will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others.
