These forward looking statements are based upon HPT’s present beliefs and expectations, but these statements and the implications of these statements are not guaranteed to occur and may not occur for various reasons, some of which are beyond HPT’s control.

This press release states that the Crowne Plaza Milwaukee West is ideally located in and economically vibrant suburban community just west of downtown Milwaukee, that the area is supported by strong demand generators and that it is surrounded by some of Milwaukee’s largest employers.

In fact, the market dynamics of this area may not remain strong and demand by various businesses surrounding the hotel may weaken. In addition, Mr. Murray states that this acquisition supports HPT’s relationship driven strategy to invest in hotels located in diverse markets with steady demand drivers. This may imply that HPT will successfully engage with its operators to invest in additional hotels located in diverse markets with steady demand drivers. However, HPT and its operators may be unable to identify properties that HPT wants to acquire and HPT may fail to reach agreement with the sellers and HPT’s operators and complete the purchases. Further, any properties that HPT may acquire may not generate returns or rents that exceed its operating and capital costs.

For these reasons, among others, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward looking statements in this press release.
