This 8-K provides the detailed financial results for Q1 2026 and the specifics of major financing activities, concurrently reported with the 10-Q. The company reported a substantial net loss of $151.2 million and low Normalized FFO per share for the quarter. Critically, Service Properties Trust successfully completed a highly dilutive $542.3 million public equity offering in April 2026, issuing 479.2 million common shares at $1.20 per share. This capital raise, combined with a $745 million asset-backed securitization, enabled the company to redeem over $1.5 billion in senior notes, significantly improving its debt maturity profile and liquidity.
