News Release
Pebblebrook Hotel Trust Completes $36.0 Million, 5.28 Percent, Secured Debt Financing
Bethesda, MD, January 21, 2011 Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (NYSE: PEB) (the
Company) today announced that it has successfully executed a new $36.0 million secured loan with
Goldman Sachs Commercial Mortgage Capital, L.P., at a fixed annualized interest rate of 5.28
percent and a term of five years. The loan is collateralized by a first mortgage on the Doubletree
Bethesda Hotel in Bethesda, Maryland. Proceeds from the loan will be used to fund future
acquisitions and for general business purposes.
With the completion of this financing, the Company has approximately $282.0 million of cash on
its balance sheet. In addition, the Company has $210.6 million of debt outstanding at a weighted
average annual interest rate of 4.28 percent. The Company has no outstanding balance on its $150.0
million senior secured credit facility.
We are pleased with our continued success accessing the debt markets, which has enabled us to
take advantage of the attractive interest rate environment, advised Raymond D. Martz, Chief
Financial Officer of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust. We are also encouraged by the strong interest from
the banking industry in our high-quality, well located properties, supported by our well received
sponsorship. The capital that we have generated from our recently completed debt transactions,
combined with the available capacity from our credit facility, will continue to allow us to take
advantage of acquisition opportunities in the marketplace. We believe that acquisition activity in
the hotel industry will be robust in 2011 and we anticipate that our Company will be very active
throughout the year.
