Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results to differ materially from those anticipated at the time the forward-looking statements are made. These risks include, but are not limited to: we own upper upscale and luxury hotels in an industry that is highly competitive; events beyond our control, including economic slowdowns or recessions, global pandemics such as those caused by COVID-19 and its variants, natural disasters, civil unrest and terrorism; rising hotel operating costs may not be offset by increased room rates; system security risks, data protection breaches, cyber-attacks and systems integration issues; a significant portion of our hotels are geographically concentrated so we may be harmed by economic downturns or natural disasters in these areas; we face possible risks associated with the physical and transitional effects of climate change; uninsured or underinsured losses could harm our financial condition; the operating results of some of our hotels are significantly reliant upon group and transient business generated by large corporate customers, and the loss of such customers for any reason could harm our operating results; the increased use of virtual meetings and other similar technologies could lessen the need for business-related travel; our hotels have an ongoing need for capital investment and we may incur significant capital expenditures in connection with acquisitions, repositionings and other improvements, some of which are mandated by applicable laws or regulations or agreements with third parties, and the costs of such renovations, repositionings or improvements may exceed our expectations or cause other problems; delays in the acquisition, renovation or repositioning of hotel properties may have adverse effects on our results of operations and returns to our stockholders; accounting for the acquisition of a hotel property or other entity involves assumptions and estimations that could differ materially from the actual results achieved; volatility in the debt and equity markets may adversely affect our ability to acquire, renovate, refinance or sell our hotels; we may pursue joint venture investments that could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority; we may be subject to unknown or contingent liabilities related hotels we sell or acquire; we may seek to acquire a portfolio of hotels or a company, which could present more risks than the acquisition of a single hotel; the illiquidity of real estate investments and the lack of alternative uses of hotel properties could significantly limit our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our hotels; we may issue or invest in hotel loans, which could involve risk of loss; one of our hotels is subject to a ground lease with an unaffiliated party, the termination of which by the lessor for any reason, including due to our default on the lease, could cause us to lose the ability to operate the hotel altogether and may adversely affect our results of operations; because we are a REIT, we depend on third-parties to operate our hotels, should any of these third-parties experience a negative event our operating results may be harmed; our franchisors and brand managers may adopt new policies or change existing policies which could result in increased costs to us; future adverse litigation judgments or settlements resulting from legal proceedings could have an adverse effect on our financial condition; claims by persons regarding our properties could affect the attractiveness of our hotels or cause us to incur additional expenses; the hotel business is seasonal and seasonal variations in business volume will cause quarterly fluctuations in our revenue; changes in the debt and equity markets may adversely affect the value of our hotels; certain of our hotels have in the past become impaired and additional hotels may become impaired in the future; laws and governmental regulations may restrict the ways in which we use our hotel properties and increase the cost of compliance with such regulations. Noncompliance with such regulations could subject us to penalties and losses; corporate responsibility, specifically related to ESG, may impose additional costs and expose us to new risks; termination of any of our franchise, management or operating lease agreements could cause us to lose business; the growth of alternative reservation channels could adversely affect our business and profitability; the failure of tenants in our hotels to make rent payments under our retail and restaurant leases may adversely affect our results of operations; we rely on our corporate and hotel senior management teams, the loss of whom may cause us to incur costs and harm our business; if we fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results; we have outstanding debt which may restrict our financial flexibility; certain of our debt is subject to variable interest rates, which can create uncertainty in forecasting our interest expense and may negatively impact our operating results; and other risks and uncertainties associated with the Company’s business described in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that the expectations will be attained or that any deviation will not be material.

HILTON KEY WEST RESORT & MARINA Brand Conversion to Drive Incremental Earnings and Value Creation 10 • The former Oceans Edge Resort & Marina will transition to Hilton Key West Resort & Marina on July 1, 2026. • The conversion is expected to drive incremental earnings at the resort as the property benefits from Hilton’s stronger distribution channels and lower customer acquisition costs relative to its prior independent operating model. • In conjunction with the conversion, the resort will undergo a focused renovation that will be partially funded with operator incentives. Work will be completed in phases through mid-2027. • The resort will be managed by Hilton and will continue to offer 175 waterfront rooms & suites, six pools, a full-service marina, multiple food and beverage offerings, and a range of amenities and recreational activities. • As part of the rebranding, Sunstone obtained favorable provisions that allow it to retain flexibility with the asset over the medium-term.
