Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 17, 2005, Host Marriott Corporation announced that Host Marriott, L.P., for whom Host Marriott Corporation acts as sole general partner, has received the consents necessary to adopt proposed amendments to the indenture governing its 8 3/8% Series E Senior Notes due 2006 (the “Notes”) in connection with a previously commenced tender offer and related consent solicitation for any and all of the outstanding Notes. A total of approximately $279.7 million, or over 93% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on March 16, 2005. The offer and consent solicitation is scheduled to expire at midnight, New York City time, on Thursday, March 31, 2005.
Host Marriott, L.P., The Bank of New York, as trustee, and the note guarantors named in the indenture have executed a Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture setting forth the amendments to eliminate most of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default, and to modify certain delivery obligations in the event of defeasance of the Notes. The amendments to the indenture are binding upon all holders of the Notes, including those not tendering pursuant to the offer and consent solicitation. The text of the news release issued in connection with the announcement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

This announcement is not an offer to purchase, a solicitation of an offer to sell or a solicitation of consent with respect to any securities. The Offer is being made solely by the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated March 3, 2005.
