The proceeds from this offering are intended for the repurchase of certain 1.75% convertible senior notes due in 2026.
The repurchase of these is expected to be conducted through privately negotiated transactions.
Pebblebrook Hotel Trust anticipates that holders selling their 2026 notes may engage in or unwind derivatives related to the company’s common shares, or buy or sell shares to hedge their positions as part of these transactions.
The company recognises that many holders of the 2026 notes implement a convertible arbitrage strategy and maintain a short position in common shares.
