Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered and accepted for purchase.

Included in the Total Consideration for Notes tendered and accepted for purchase on or prior to the Early Tender Deadline.

The Offer is being made upon, and is subject to, the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated May 15, 2024, or the Offer to Purchase. The Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 13, 2024, unless extended by SVC, or the Expiration Date, or earlier terminated. Tenders of Notes may be withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 29, 2024, which is also the Early Tender Deadline, but may not be withdrawn thereafter except in certain limited circumstances as described in the Offer to Purchase.

The total consideration, or the Total Consideration, to be paid in the Offer for Notes that are validly tendered and not withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to a fixed spread over the yield to maturity of the U.S. Treasury reference security specified in the table above and in the Offer to Purchase and will include an early tender payment of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase, or the Early Tender Payment. Holders of Notes who validly tender their Notes following the Early Tender Deadline and prior to the Expiration Date will only receive the applicable “Tender Offer Consideration” per $1,000 principal amount of any such Notes tendered by such holders that are accepted for purchase, which is equal to the Total Consideration minus the Early Tender Payment. The Total Consideration will be determined at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on May 30, 2024 unless extended by SVC, or the Pricing Date.

Tenders of Notes will be accepted only in principal amounts equal to $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Holders who tender less than all of their Notes must continue to hold Notes of such series in the minimum authorized denomination of $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Payments for Notes purchased will include accrued and unpaid interest from and including the most recent interest payment date for the Notes up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date. The settlement date for Notes that are validly tendered prior to the Early Tender Deadline, or the Early Settlement Date, is expected to be June 3, 2024, subject to all conditions to the Offer having been either satisfied or waived by SVC. The settlement date for the Notes that are tendered following the Early Tender Deadline but prior to the Expiration Date is expected to be June 17, 2024, or the Final Settlement Date, subject to all conditions to the Offer having been either satisfied or waived by SVC.

In connection with the Offer, SVC is soliciting consents from holders of Notes to proposed amendments to the Indenture which would allow SVC to deposit U.S. government securities with the trustee for the Notes in order to effect the Satisfaction and Discharge (as defined below) of the Indenture as it relates to the Notes.

SVC’s obligation to consummate the Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, which are more fully described in the Offer to Purchase, including, among others, SVC’s completion of a new issuance of one or more series of senior guaranteed unsecured notes, or the New Notes Offerings, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which generates net proceeds in an amount sufficient to effect (i) the repurchase of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer, and (ii) deposit into a trust account an amount of cash and U.S. Treasury securities sufficient to pay all remaining amounts due on the Notes in order to discharge the Indenture in accordance with its terms and conditions with respect to any Notes that remain outstanding after the settlement of SVC’s purchase of Notes pursuant to the Offer on the Early Settlement Date, if applicable, or the Satisfaction and Discharge. SVC currently expects that, following the consummation of the New Notes Offerings, it will effect the Satisfaction and Discharge with respect to any Notes not purchased in the Offer on the Early Settlement Date. However, SVC is not obligated to undertake the Satisfaction and Discharge on the timeline anticipated, or at all.

No assurance can be given that the New Notes Offerings will be completed. The New Notes Offerings are not conditioned upon the consummation of the Offer. In no event will the information contained in this press release regarding the New Notes Offerings constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in the New Notes Offerings.
