Service Properties Trust Amends Management Agreement with Radisson

Amended Agreement Supported by $22.0 Million Guaranty

Service Properties Trust (Nasdaq: SVC), or SVC, today announced that it reached an agreement with a subsidiary of Radisson Hospitality, Inc., or Radisson, to amend their previous management agreement for nine hotels owned by subsidiaries of SVC.

Under the amended agreement, Radisson will continue to manage eight of the hotels, including five Radisson Hotels and Resorts and three Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, for a 10-year term effective as of August 1, 2021. Among other terms, the new agreement with Radisson provides as follows:

  • SVC’s owner’s priority return is set at $10.2 million annually, supported by a $22.0 million guaranty for 75% of the aggregate annual owner’s priority return beginning in 2023.
  • A management fee equal to 3% of gross revenue for Radisson branded hotels and 5% of gross revenue for Country Inn & Suites hotels payable to Radisson will be an operating cost paid senior to SVC’s owner’s priority return.
  • Following payment of SVC’s owner’s priority return and reimbursement of certain advances, if any, Radisson may earn a 20% incentive management fee and SVC will receive the remaining cash flow.
  • SVC will fund approximately $12 million for renovations expected to be completed by the end of 2022. As such funding is advanced by SVC, the aggregate annual owner's priority return due to SVC under the amended agreement will increase by 6% of the amounts funded.

John Murray, President and Chief Executive Officer of SVC, made the following statement:

“SVC and Radisson have had a productive business relationship since 2005. The amended agreement extends that relationship at least through 2031, maintains credit support for SVC’s owner’s priority return and provides for renovation activity, which will enhance the portfolio and is expected to result in improved coverage of SVC’s owner’s priority return for the portfolio.”

SVC and Radisson transitioned management of one hotel to Sonesta International Hotels Corporation, or Sonesta, under the Royal Sonesta brand on October 31, 2021. SVC also owns approximately 34% of Sonesta.
