Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 10, 2010, a subsidiary of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (the "Company") executed an amendment to a prior agreement that the Company entered into on May 24, 2010 to acquire an upscale full-service hotel in the Minneapolis-St. Paul region from an unaffiliated third party. This amendment reduced the purchase price of the hotel to $33.0 million from $36.0 million. During the Company's due diligence period, the lease of one of the property's tenants was renegotiated. The reduced purchase price reflects the reduced annual rent under the renegotiated lease. The Company expects to fund the purchase price with proceeds from the Company’s initial public offering. The Company may also utilize new borrowings to pay a portion of the purchase price. The closing is expected to occur within 60 days, however, because the acquisition is subject to customary closing requirements and conditions, the Company can give no assurance that the transaction will be consummated during that time period, or at all.
