Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. has entered into a new senior unsecured credit facility. Under the facility, the company's total available capacity increases from $150 million to $400 million. Facility pricing ranges from 155 to 230 basis points over LIBOR, depending on the company's leverage, and represents a decline in pricing of approximately 30 to 60 basis points. The facility term is four years, expiring in April 2019, with an option to extend for an additional one year subject to satisfaction of certain customary conditions. The facility also includes an accordion option which allows the company to request additional lender commitments for up to a total capacity of $800 million. The company currently has no outstanding balance on the $400 million revolving credit facility.

"We are pleased to announce the completion of this new credit facility that further enhances our ability to achieve our long-term capital goals with increased flexibility and debt capacity," commented Bryan Giglia, Chief Financial Officer. "We appreciate the overwhelming support from our lender relationships, as their increased commitments to the new facility further demonstrate their confidence in our balance sheet and corporate strategy."
