Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc.’s 3.75% Senior Notes Remain Convertible

Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (NYSE: RHP) (the “Company”) announced today that its 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due October 1, 2014 remain convertible at the option of the holders through September 30, 2013, the last business day of the current fiscal quarter. The Company issued the notes in September 2009.

The notes remain convertible because the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading-day period ending on June 28, 2013, was greater than 120 percent of the conversion price in effect on such day.

The Company will deliver shares of its common stock or pay cash upon conversion of any notes surrendered through September 30, 2013. If shares are delivered, cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares only. The notes are currently convertible at a rate of 45.5431 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equal to a conversion price of $21.96 per share.

The notes could be convertible after September 30, 2013, if the sale price condition described above is met in any future fiscal quarter or if any of the other conditions to conversion set forth in the indenture governing the notes are met.
