        <footnote id="F1">Each deferred stock unit represents the right to receive one share of common stock of the Issuer.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The deferred stock units were granted to the director in lieu  of an annual stock award, are fully vested and will be settled in shares of the Issuer's common stock on a date selected by the reporting person pursuant to the Host Hotel's &amp; Resorts, Inc.'s Non-Employee Directors' Deferred Stock Compensation Plan.</footnote>
    </footnotes>

    <remarks>REMARK TO FORM:   This amendment is being filed because on May 16, 2019, the Reporting Person filed a Form 4 reporting an award of 7,238.8831 Deferred Stock Units-Lump Sum Vesting that did not in fact occur.</remarks>
