This prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus relate to the offer and sale from time to time of shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having a total aggregate offering price of up to $600,000,000, through J.P. Morgan Securities LLC,
BofA Securities, Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Jefferies LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., Truist Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (each, a sales agent and collectively, the
sales agents), as our exclusive sales agents or, if applicable, as forward sellers (as defined below) pursuant to the terms of a Distribution Agreement (the Distribution Agreement) among us, the sales agents and each of
JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, Bank of America, N.A., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Jefferies LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, The Bank of Nova Scotia, Truist Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (each, a
forward purchaser and collectively, the forward purchasers), as forward purchasers.
Our common stock is listed on
the Nasdaq Global Select Market (Nasdaq), under the symbol HST. On May 30, 2023, the last reported sale price of our common stock on Nasdaq was $16.59 per share.
To assist us in complying with U.S. federal income tax requirements applicable to real estate investment trusts, among other purposes, our
charter contains certain restrictions on the transfer and ownership of our common stock, including an ownership limit of 9.8% of our common stock. See Description of Capital StockRestrictions on Transfer and Ownership in the
accompanying prospectus.
The Distribution Agreement contemplates that, in addition to the issuance and sale by us of shares of our common
stock to or through the sales agents, we may enter into separate forward sale agreements with each of the forward purchasers. If we enter into a forward sale agreement with any forward purchaser, we expect that such forward purchaser (or its
affiliate) will attempt to borrow from third parties and sell, through the relevant sales agent, shares of our common stock to hedge such forward purchasers exposure under such forward sale agreement. We refer to a sales agent, when acting as
sales agent for the relevant forward purchaser, as, individually, a forward seller and, collectively, the forward sellers. Unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, references herein to the
related or relevant forward purchaser mean, with respect to any sales agent, the affiliate of such sales agent that is acting as forward purchaser or, if applicable, such sales agent acting in its capacity as forward
purchaser. We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of shares of our common stock borrowed by a forward purchaser (or its affiliate) and sold through a forward seller.
We currently expect to fully physically settle each forward sale agreement, if any, with the relevant forward purchaser on one or more dates
specified by us on or prior to the maturity date of such forward sale agreement, in which case we expect to receive aggregate net cash proceeds at settlement equal to the number of shares specified in such forward sale agreement multiplied by the
relevant forward price per share. However, subject to certain exceptions, we may also elect, in our sole discretion, to cash settle or net share settle all or any portion of our obligations under any forward sale agreement, in which case we may not
receive any proceeds (in the case of cash settlement) or will not receive any proceeds (in the case of net share settlement), and we may owe cash (in the case of cash settlement) or shares of our common stock (in the case of net share settlement) to
the relevant forward purchaser. See Plan of Distribution for further information.
The shares of our common stock to which
this prospectus supplement relates will be offered and sold through the sales agents over a period of time and from time to time in transactions that are deemed to be at the market offerings as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at then-current market prices or in other transactions permitted by law, pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, as may be amended from time to time. Accordingly, an indeterminate number of shares of our common
stock will be sold up to the number of shares of our common stock that will result in gross proceeds of up to $600,000,000. The sales agents are not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of our common stock, but, subject to the terms
and conditions of the Distribution Agreement, each sales agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell on our behalf and, in the case of shares offered through such sales agent as forward seller, on behalf of the relevant forward
purchaser, any shares of our common stock to be designated by us under the Distribution Agreement. We will pay each sales agent a commission that will not exceed, but may be lower than, 2% of the gross proceeds of the sale of shares of our
common stock sold by such sales agent pursuant to this prospectus supplement. Under the Distribution Agreement, we may also sell shares of common stock to a sales agent as principal for its own account, at a price to be agreed upon at the time of
sale. If we sell shares to a sales agent as principal, we will enter into a separate terms agreement with such sales agent, and we will describe the agreement in a separate prospectus supplement or pricing supplement. In connection with each forward
sale agreement, we will pay the applicable forward seller a commission, in the form of a reduction to the initial forward price under the related forward sale agreement, at a mutually agreed rate up to 2% of the gross sales price per share of the
borrowed shares of our common stock sold through such forward seller during the applicable forward selling period for such shares (subject to certain possible adjustments to such gross sales price for daily accruals and any quarterly dividends
having an ex-dividend date during such forward selling period).
The net proceeds we
receive will be the gross proceeds received from such sales by us to or through the sales agents less the commissions and any other costs we may incur in issuing the shares of our common stock and any net proceeds we receive pursuant to any
settlement of any forward sale agreement with the relevant forward purchaser. We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of shares of our common stock borrowed by a forward purchaser (or its affiliate) and sold through a forward seller. See
Plan of Distribution for further information.
Investing in our common stock involves risks. See Risk
