On June 19, 2017, Ashford Hospitality Prime, Inc. ("Ashford Prime" or the "Company") announced that it has reached an agreement for an extension of the ground lease at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines hotel (the “Hotel”).
The four-star, 394-room Hotel sits on 11.38 acres owned by the City of San Diego. Located adjacent to the legendary Torrey Pines Golf Course and the Torrey Pines State Preserve, the first-class amenities and dramatic views of the Pacific Ocean make the Hotel one of the premier resorts in the San Diego area. The Hotel is owned in a joint venture between subsidiaries of Ashford Prime and Park Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (NYSE: PK) with Ashford Prime holding a 75% interest in the joint venture. The lease, which currently expires in 2043, will be extended by 24 years and will now expire in 2067. Through this agreement, the Company was also able to secure options to further extend the ground lease by either 10 or 20 additional years depending on the amount of capital expenditures invested in the Hotel during the term.

A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
