Xenia Hotels & Resorts Provides Business Update

ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Xenia Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (NYSE: XHR) ("Xenia" or the "Company") today provided an update on its recently amended credit facilities, hotel operations, and liquidity.

Corporate Credit Facility Amendments

On October 14, 2020, the Company entered into further amendments on the Company's corporate credit facilities (the "October CCF Amendments"). The effectiveness of the October CCF Amendments is subject to certain conditions, including the prepayment in full of the Company's two term loans maturing in 2022 and the receipt of $95 million of net proceeds from specified transactions, which may include asset sales, debt or equity offerings, or other capital markets activity.

Key terms of the October CCF Amendments include the following:

• Increased commitments under the revolving credit facility by $23 million to $523 million through February 2022, after which the total commitments will decrease to $450 million through February 2024.  This reflects a two year extension of the maturity date
   
• Extension of the waiver period for the testing of the financial covenants through year end 2021 and extending the modification of certain financial covenants, once quarterly testing resumes, through the first quarter of 2023
   
• Modification of the application of mandatory prepayments. The amendments require the Company, in the event that the revolving credit facility outstanding balance is less than $350 million, to apply 50% of net proceeds raised through various activities, including debt issuances, equity issuances, and dispositions, to repay its revolving credit facility, with the balance of the proceeds retained by the Company.  If the revolving credit facility outstanding balance is greater than $350 million, there is no change to the application of mandatory prepayments
   
• Extension of the minimum liquidity covenant through the second quarter of 2022

Operating Update

Currently, 37 of the Company's 38 hotels and resorts are open and operating.  The Company is continuing to evaluate the timing of recommencement of operations at Hyatt Regency Portland at the Oregon Convention Center.

The following table provides operating information for the Company's portfolio during the third quarter. This information includes the days the hotels and resorts were open and operating during the periods presented, categorized by timing of recommencement of operations.

Liquidity Update

The Company applied a portion of net proceeds from its recent sale of Residence Inn Boston Cambridge to partially repay its revolving credit facility and its two term loans maturing in 2022.  Proceeds from a proposed debt financing, along with cash available on the Company's balance sheet, will be applied to pay off its two term loans maturing in 2022 in full and pay off the $51 million mortgage loan secured by Marriott Dallas Downtown.  As a result, the Company will have addressed all near-term debt maturities with its next debt maturity occurring in 2023. 

Pro forma for the proposed debt financing and subsequent debt payoff, the Company will have approximately $450 million of liquidity inclusive of unrestricted cash and availability on its revolving credit facility. This does not include net proceeds from the sale of Marriott Napa Valley Hotel & Spa which is anticipated to close before the end of October.

Additionally, the Company has revised its estimate of average monthly recurring cash expenses to reflect the recommencement of operations at its properties as follows:
