Executive Summary

Ryman Hospitality Properties filed a 424B5 to offer 5,100,000 shares of common stock (plus a 765,000-share greenshoe option) to fund a portion of the $1.38 billion acquisition of the JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes and The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes. The offering is not contingent on the acquisition closing, and proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes if the deal falls through. This equity raise, announced alongside record Q2 2026 earnings (revenue $749M, Adjusted EBITDAre $258.3M) and an increased FY2026 guidance midpoint of $894M, dilutes existing shareholders by ~8.1% (8.7% with greenshoe) but finances a high-quality, accretive acquisition at a 12.5x EBITDA multiple with a 6.6% cap rate.

Key Facts

• Offering 5,100,000 common shares (5,865,000 if greenshoe exercised) at $120.84 reference price; underwriters include BofA, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo.
• Proceeds fund part of the $1.38B Grande Lakes Acquisition (JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes, Ritz-Carlton Orlando, golf course); balance via cash on hand and debt.
• Grande Lakes trailing 12-month Adj. EBITDAre of $110M implies a ~12.5x purchase multiple; net operating income of $91.2M implies a 6.6% cap rate.
• Post-offering shares outstanding: 68.2M (68.98M with greenshoe), dilution of ~8.1% (8.7%) from 63.1M shares outstanding as of June 30, 2026.
• Q2 2026 record revenue of $749M and Adj. EBITDAre of $258.3M beat consensus; FY2026 guidance raised $11M midpoint to $894M.
• Acquisition expected to close Q3 2026; offering closes prior and is not contingent on acquisition.
• Lock-up agreements for execs/directors for 45 days; 45% lock-up applies to officers/directors, none to the company.
• Estimated net proceeds ~$585M (assuming $120.84 price, ~3.5% underwriting discount) — $600M gross less ~$15M fees and $15k expenses.
• RHP has $3.97B total debt; net proceeds and some debt will fund the $1.38B purchase price.

Financial Impact

~$600M gross primary offering (8.1% dilution); funds ~43% of $1.38B acquisition price; remaining balance via debt and cash on hand.

Risk Factors

• Acquisition may not close (subject to customary conditions); if it fails, proceeds used for general corporate purposes with no committed plan — a negative outcome.
• Dilution of ~8.1% (8.7% with greenshoe) puts near-term pressure on EPS and FFO/share; the market may not fully compensate for deal accretion until closing.
• Integration risk: combining Grande Lakes into RHP's portfolio may face operational challenges and higher costs.
• Interest rate sensitivity: REIT valuations and financing costs are sensitive to rising rates; the deal's remaining $800M debt assumption adds leverage.
• Market reaction to equity offerings in hospitality/REIT sector can be negative due to perceived dilution risk.
