Item
8.01. Other Events.
On
December 22, 2006, Hospitality Properties Trust, or the Company, issued
12,000,000 of its common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per
share, or Common Shares, at $47.51 per share in an underwritten public offering.
In connection with the offering, the Company granted the underwriters an option
to purchase up to an additional 1,800,000 Common Shares at $47.51 per share
to
cover over-allotments, if any, within 30 days from the date of the related
underwriting agreement. On January 5, 2007, the Company issued an additional
1,800,000 Common Shares pursuant to this over-allotment option. The estimated
net proceeds from both issuances, after underwriting and other offering
expenses, were $626.9 million. The Company expects to use the net proceeds
from
these issuances as previously described in Item 8.01 of the Company’s
Current Report on Form 8-K, dated December 18, 2006 relating to the
offering.
A
final prospectus supplement relating to the Common Shares has been filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall
not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor
shall
there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification
under the securities laws of any such state.
