On February 9, 2022, Mr. John B. Morse, Jr. expressed his intention to not stand for re-election to the Board of Directors of Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and his term will therefore end at the conclusion of the 2022 Annual Meeting. Mr. Morse joined the Company's Board of Directors in 2003 and his retirement comes after 20 years of distinguished service to the Company. Mr. Morse confirmed to the Board that his determination to not stand for re-election is not the result of any disagreement with the Company relating to its operations, policies or practices.

The Board also determined that, effective at the conclusion of the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the size of the Board shall be decreased from nine to eight directors.
