SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

The table below supplements or amends the table of stockholders contained on pages 33 through 34 of the Prospectus dated October 7, 2004. Where the name of a selling stockholder identified in the table below also appears in the table in the Prospectus, the information set forth in the table below regarding that selling stockholder supersedes the information in the Prospectus. Currently there is outstanding $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. debentures. We may issue the offered shares of common stock to the selling stockholders if, and to the extent, that they exchange their debentures for shares of common stock. The following table provides information regarding the selling stockholders and the number of shares of common stock they are offering for resale.

 

Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes below, we believe that the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned. Because the selling stockholders may offer, pursuant to this prospectus, all or some portion of the common stock listed below, no estimate can be given as to the amount of common stock that will be held by the selling stockholder upon consummation of any sales. In addition, the selling stockholders listed in the table may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, in transactions exempt from registration requirements of the Securities Act, some or all of their debentures or common stock since the date as of which such information was provided to us. The percentage ownership data is based on 523,593,145 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of December 29, 2006.

 

Unless otherwise set forth below, no selling stockholder has had any material relationship with us or any of our affiliates within the past three years, other than as a stockholder.

 

We have prepared the table based on information given to us by, or on behalf of, the selling stockholders on or before March 2, 2007. Information about the selling stockholders may change over time. Any changed information given to us by the selling stockholders will be set forth in prospectus supplements or amendments to this prospectus if and when necessary.
