Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On January 22, 2026 , Service Properties Trust, or SVC, sold one hotel with a total of 133 keys for a sales price of $7.1 million, excluding closing costs, pursuant to one of the agreements, or the 35 Hotel Sale Portfolio, that SVC previously entered into to sell 113 hotels with a total of 14,803 keys for a combined sales price of $913.3 million, excluding closing costs, or the Sale Hotels. Since January 1, 2025, SVC has sold 105 of the Sale Hotels with a total of 13,758 keys for a combined sales price of $820.3 million, excluding closing costs, all of which were completed in accordance with their respective sale agreements, and eight other hotels with a total of 1,006 keys for a combined sales price of $45.6 million, excluding closing costs. SVC is currently remarketing eight Sale Hotels that were previously under agreement to sell for a combined sales price of $93.0 million, excluding closing costs. As of January 22, 2026 , aggregate proceeds from hotel dispositions totaled $865.9 million, excluding closing costs. As previously disclosed, SVC expects to use the proceeds from the sales of the Sale Hotels to repay debt.
SVC has sold all 35 of the hotels in the 35 Hotel Sale Portfolio, with the pool of properties sold constituting significant dispositions for purposes of Item 2.01 of Form 8-K. Accordingly, pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K with respect to the 35 Hotel Sale Portfolio is included as Exhibit 99.1, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Warning Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. Whenever SVC uses words such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, “will”, “may” and negatives or derivatives of these or similar expressions, SVC is making forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon SVC’s present intent, beliefs or expectations, but forward-looking statements are not guaranteed to occur and may not occur. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by SVC’s forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. For example, the sales of the remaining Sale Hotels are subject to conditions; accordingly, SVC cannot be sure that it will complete these sales, that these sales will not be delayed, that the terms will not change, the prices will not be lower than previously agreed to, or, if the sales are completed, that it will use the proceeds as currently expected.
The information contained in SVC’s filings with the SEC, including under the caption “Risk Factors” in SVC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, or incorporated herein or therein, identifies other important factors that could cause differences from SVC’s forward-looking statements. SVC’s filings with the SEC are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
You should not place undue reliance upon SVC’s forward-looking statements.
Except as required by law, SVC does not intend to update or change any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
