Item 5. Other Information

On August 26, 2024, Mr. Walter Rakowich, a director of Host Inc., adopted a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c). Under the trading plan, Mr. Rakowich will sell 40% of the shares of Host Inc.'s common stock he receives as part of his annual director stock award following the annual meetings in 2025 and 2026, to the extent he is elected as a director at those meetings. As described in the Company’s proxy statement for its annual meeting, non-employee directors receive an annual director stock award effective after election at the annual meeting. Because the number of shares that non-employee directors receive is calculated by dividing a dollar amount ($180,000 for 2024) by the share price of Host Inc.'s common stock on the date of the annual meeting, the aggregate number of shares to be sold under the trading plan is not currently ascertainable. However, if we assume the director stock award remains $180,000 in 2025 and 2026, and we estimate using Host Inc.'s closing share price of $17.24 on October 31, 2024, the aggregate number of shares to be sold under the trading plan is estimated to be 8,352 shares. The trading plan will have a duration of 641 days based on the latest termination date of the plan of May 29, 2026.
