Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On April 6, 2011, a subsidiary of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (the “Company”) completed its acquisition of the 450-room The Westin Gaslamp Quarter hotel for $110.0 million from Starwood CMBS I, LLC, an unaffiliated third party. The Company also reimbursed the seller $10.0 million for the seller’s capital investment in the recently completed guestrooms renovation. The hotel will continue to be managed by Westin Operator LLC (“Starwood”), the hotel’s current manager, pursuant to a management agreement between the Company’s taxable real estate investment trust subsidiary and Starwood. The management agreement is for a 20-year term, which term the manager, in its sole and absolute discretion, may extend by up to two additional ten-year terms, and provides for base management fees and incentive management fees within the ranges described in the Company’s final prospectus for its public equity offering filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on July 23, 2010. The management agreement is non-terminable by the Company except upon the manager’s failure to meet performance tests as defined in the management agreement. In addition, the agreement contains other terms and provisions customarily found in hotel management agreements. The transaction was funded entirely with available cash.
