On June 23, 2016, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Chesapeake Lodging Trust (the “Trust”) entered into a loan agreement with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("MetLife") to obtain a $150.0 million loan maturing in July 2026. The loan is secured by a first mortgage lien on the Trust’s Hyatt Regency Boston, and the related equipment, fixtures, personal property and other assets associated with the hotel. Proceeds from the loan are expected to be used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Trust’s revolving credit facility.

The loan carries a fixed interest rate of 4.25% per annum, with principal and interest payments based on a 30-year principal amortization. The loan agreement and related documents contain representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and events of default customary for property mortgage financings of this type.
