Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As noted below under Item 5.07, Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (“Host” or the “Company”), the general partner of Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P., held its annual meeting of stockholders on May 15, 2024. At the annual meeting, the Company’s stockholders, upon the recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Company, approved the Host Hotels & Resorts 2024 Comprehensive Stock and Cash Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”), which was previously adopted by the Board subject to approval by stockholders. The 2024 Plan is a new plan that replaces the Company’s 2020 Comprehensive Stock and Cash Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2024 Plan, among other things, reserves 22,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), for issuance, less the number of shares of Common Stock subject to any award granted under the 2020 Plan after March 1, 2024.

A description of the material terms of the 2024 Plan was included in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 5, 2024 (the “Proxy Statement”). The foregoing and the summary of the 2024 Plan in the Proxy Statement are not complete summaries of the terms of the 2024 Plan and are qualified by reference to the text of the 2024 Plan, included as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

The Company held its annual meeting of stockholders on May 15, 2024. Stockholders were asked to vote on four proposals: the election of directors, the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accountants for 2024, an advisory vote to approve executive compensation, and approval of the 2024 Plan.
