Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On September 29, 2010, a subsidiary of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (the “Company”) completed its
acquisition of the 140-room Grand Hotel Minneapolis for $33.0 million from 615 2nd
Avenue South-Minneapolis LLC, an unaffiliated third party. The hotel will be managed by Kimpton
Hotels & Restaurant Group, LLC (“Kimpton”) pursuant to a management agreement between the Company’s
taxable real estate investment trust subsidiary and Kimpton. The management agreement is for a
10-year term and provides for base management fees and incentive management fees within the ranges
described in the Company’s final prospectus for its public equity offering filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”) on July 23, 2010. The management agreement also provides for
termination at the Company’s option at any time, and without cause, by giving written notice and
paying a termination fee. In addition, the agreement contains other terms and provisions
customarily found in hotel management agreements. The transaction was funded entirely with
available cash.
