The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant adverse impact on U.S. and global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets beginning in the first quarter of 2020. The adverse economic impact continues as various restrictive measures remain in place in many jurisdictions where we own hotels, including quarantines, restrictions on travel, school closings, limitations on the size of gatherings and/or restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to negatively impact almost every industry directly or indirectly, including having a severe impact on the U.S. lodging industry generally and our company specifically.

At the start of the pandemic, we suspended operations at 35 hotels and, as of September 30, 2020, operations remain suspended at nine of these hotels. The ongoing effects of COVID-19 on our operations and future bookings have had, and will continue to have, a material negative impact on our financial results and cash flows, and such negative impact may continue well after restrictive measures imposed by federal, state, local and other government authorities to contain the outbreak have been lifted. In September 2020, we drew down $746 million on the revolver portion of our credit facility as a precautionary measure in order to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility. We are continuing to take further measures to preserve our liquidity, including operating expense reductions, capital expenditures deferrals, suspension of future dividends and suspension of common stock repurchases. We also have reached agreements with our hotel managers to temporarily suspend furniture, fixture and equipment (“FF&E”) replacement fund contributions for our hotels and to defer certain hotel initiatives and brand standards.

Due to the ongoing effects of COVID-19 on our operations, as of September 30, 2020, our EBITDA-to-interest coverage ratio fell below the required terms of our senior notes indenture. As such, we no longer are able to incur additional debt while the ratio is below these required terms.

As of September 30, 2020, our consolidated portfolio, primarily consisting of luxury and upper upscale hotels, is located in the following countries:

United States		75
Brazil		3
Canada		2
Total		80
