Legal Proceedings, Guarantees and Contingencies We are involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business regarding the operation of our hotels and company matters.

Hurricane Loss Contingency While the majority of our hotels in Florida were affected by Hurricane Ian, which made landfall on September 28, 2022, the most significant damage sustained during the storm occurred at The Ritz-Carlton, Naples and Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort and Spa. Due to evacuation mandates and/or loss of commercial power, five of our properties in Florida were temporarily closed, three of which fully reopened within days of landfall. The Hyatt Regency Coconut Point sustained extensive damage to the grounds, pools/waterpark, and poolside food and beverage outlets, including damage from flooding; but the hotel remained open to first responders. The hotel reopened to guests on November 7, 2022, as part of a phased reopening, with the pool facilities reopening currently in progress and targeted for completion by June 2023. The Ritz-Carlton, Naples sustained more significant damage due to storm surge, which breached the beach dune and flooded the lowest level of the hotel. The Ritz-Carlton, Naples remained closed for the remainder of the year and is targeting a phased reopening strategy to begin in the summer of 2023.

There could be delays in restoration work at the hotels for a variety of factors outside our control, and there can be no assurances that we will be able to complete the restorations within the time frames noted above. We are still evaluating the complete property and business interruption impacts of the storm. However, our current estimate of the book value of the property and equipment written off and remediation costs is approximately $105 million, for which we have recorded a corresponding insurance receivable of $105 million. Provided planned reopening dates can be maintained, we believe our insurance coverage should be sufficient to cover substantially all of the property remediation and reconstruction costs and the near-term loss of business; however, there can be no assurances that this coverage will be sufficient to cover the entirety of the business interruption impact from the storm, especially if the hotel is unable to open as currently anticipated. As of February 17, 2023, we have received approximately $50 million of insurance proceeds related to these claims. Tax Indemnification Agreements Because of certain federal and state income tax considerations of the former owners of two hotels currently owned by Host L.P., we have agreed to restrictions on selling such hotels, or repaying or refinancing mortgage debt, for varying periods.
