Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On November 13, 2025, Service Properties Trust, or SVC, sold seven hotels with a total of 839 keys located in five states for a combined sales price of $48.0 million, excluding closing costs, pursuant to two of the agreements that SVC previously entered into to sell 113 hotels with a total of 14,803 keys for a combined sales price of $913.3 million, excluding closing costs, or the Sale Hotels. To date, SVC has sold 51 of the Sale Hotels with a total of 6,947 keys for a combined sales price of $393.8 million, excluding closing costs, and SVC remains under agreement to sell 62 Sale Hotels with a total of 7,856 keys for a combined sales price of $519.5 million, excluding closing costs. The remaining 62 Sale Hotels will be sold in phases, expected to be completed by the end of 2025. As previously disclosed, SVC expects to use the proceeds from the sales of the Sale Hotels to repay debt.

Twenty-two hotel sales, including four of the seven hotels sold on November 13, 2025 with a total of 459 keys located in three states for a combined sales price of $23.5 million, excluding closing costs, SVC has completed through November 13, 2025 pursuant to one of the agreements, or the 45 Hotel Sale Portfolio, for the Sale Hotels constitute significant dispositions for purposes of Item 2.01 of Form 8-K. Accordingly, pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K with respect to the 45 Hotel Sale Portfolio is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

For further information regarding SVC's completed hotel sales, please see its Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on September 10, 2025, September 18, 2025, September 24, 2025 (filed with Item 2.01), September 29, 2025, October 1, 2025, October 6, 2025, October 21, 2025, October 28, 2025, and November 4, 2025.

Warning Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. Whenever SVC uses words such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, “will”, “may” and negatives or derivatives of these or similar expressions, SVC is making forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon SVC’s present intent, beliefs or expectations, but forward-looking statements are not guaranteed to occur and may not occur. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by SVC’s forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. For example, the pending sales of the remaining Sale Hotels are subject to conditions; accordingly, SVC cannot be sure that it will complete these sales, that these sales will not be delayed, that the terms will not change or, if the sales are completed, that it will use the proceeds as currently expected.

The information contained in SVC’s filings with the SEC, including under the caption “Risk Factors” in SVC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, or incorporated herein or therein, identifies other important factors that could cause differences from SVC’s forward-looking statements. SVC’s filings with the SEC are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

You should not place undue reliance upon SVC’s forward-looking statements.

Except as required by law, SVC does not intend to update or change any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information.

SVC's unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025 and SVC's unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and the notes related thereto with respect to the 45 Hotel Sale Portfolio are filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements reflect SVC's financial position as if the sales of the 22 hotels in the 45 Hotel Sale Portfolio sold through November 13, 2025 were completed as of September 30, 2025 and

SVC's results of operations as if the sales of these hotels were completed as of January 1, 2024. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of SVC's expected financial position or results of operations for any future period. Differences could result from numerous factors, including future changes in SVC's portfolio of investments, capital structure, property level operating expenses and revenues, including returns received from SVC's hotels or rents expected to be received pursuant to SVC's existing leases or leases SVC may enter into, changes in interest rates and other reasons. Actual future results are likely to be different from amounts presented in these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and such differences may be significant.
