On August 5, 2016, Extended Stay America, Inc. (the “Corporation”) issued a press release announcing that its subsidiary, ESH Hospitality, Inc. (“ESH REIT” and, together with Extended Stay America, Inc., the “Company”), is seeking to raise new senior secured credit facilities (the “ESH REIT Credit Facilities), including a new $350 million revolving credit facility to replace its existing $250 million revolving credit facility and a new $1,300 million senior secured term loan (the “Term Loan”). In addition, the Corporation intends to enter into a new $50 million revolving credit facility to replace its existing $50 million revolving credit facility (together with the ESH REIT Credit Facilities, the “New Credit Facilities”).

ESH REIT expects to use proceeds from the Term Loan, together with cash and borrowings under the new ESH REIT revolving credit facility, to repay in full its existing approximately $1,500 million mortgage loan and to pay the related fees and expenses.

The consummation of the New Credit Facilities and proposed refinancing of the existing mortgage loan are subject to a number of factors, and there can be no guarantee that ESH REIT or the Corporation will enter into the New Credit Facilities or that ESH REIT will refinance the existing mortgage loan on favorable terms or at all.

The furnishing of the information in this Item 7.01 is not intended to, and does not, constitute a determination or admission by the Company that this information is material or complete, or that investors should consider this information before making an investment decision with respect to any security of the Company.
