Host Inc.’s common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market and trades under the symbol “HST.”

As of February 17, 2023, there were 15,832 holders of record of Host Inc.’s common stock. However, because many of the shares of our common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, we believe that there are considerably more beneficial owners of our common stock than record holders. As of February 17, 2023, there were 1,094 limited partners of Host L.P. (in addition to Host Inc.). OP units are redeemable for cash, or, at our election, for Host Inc. common stock.
