OPERATING INFORMATION

Status of the Offering

We commenced our reasonable best efforts initial public offering of up to 80.0 million shares of common stock on January 7, 2014 (excluding shares to be issued under the distribution reinvestment plan, or DRIP). On February 3, 2014, we satisfied the general escrow conditions of our initial public offering of common stock. On such date, we received and accepted aggregate subscriptions equal to the minimum of $2.0 million in shares of common stock, broke escrow and issued shares to AR Capital, LLC, the parent of our sponsor, in the amount of 0.5 million at a purchase price of $22.50 per share. Subscriptions from residents of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Washington will be held in escrow until we have received aggregate subscriptions of at least $100.0 million, $20.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively.

We will offer shares of our common stock until January 7, 2016, unless the offering is extended in accordance with the Prospectus, provided that the offering will be terminated if all 80.0 million shares of our common stock are sold before such date (subject to our right to reallocate shares offered pursuant to the DRIP for sale in our primary offering).

Shares Currently Available for Sale

As of February 28, 2014, there are 0.1 million shares of our common stock outstanding. As of February 28, 2014, there are approximately 79.9 million shares of our common stock available for sale, excluding shares available under our DRIP.

Declaration of Distributions

On February 3, 2014, our board of directors authorized, and we declared, a distribution rate which will be calculated based on stockholders of record each day during the applicable period at a rate of $0.00465753425 per day, based on a per share price of $25.00. The distributions will begin to accrue upon the earlier to occur of: (i) April 1, 2014 and (ii) 15 days following our initial property acquisition. The distributions will be payable by the fifth day following each month-end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month.

There can be no assurance that any such distributions will be paid to stockholders.

The amount of distributions payable to our stockholders is determined by our board of directors and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for distribution; our financial condition; capital expenditure requirements, as applicable; requirements of Maryland law; and annual distribution requirements needed to qualify and maintain our status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Our board of directors may reduce the amount of distributions paid or suspend distribution payments at any time.

As of the date hereof, we own no operating properties and have no historical operating cash flows. Additionally, our organizational documents permit us to pay distributions from unlimited amounts of any source, and we may use sources other than operating cash flows to fund distributions, including proceeds from this offering, which may reduce the amount of capital we ultimately invest in properties or other permitted investments, and negatively impact the value of your investment.

Management and Accounting Firm Updates

On January 15, 2014, our board of directors appointed William M. Kahane and Stanley R. Perla as directors of the Company. Messrs. Kahane and Perla will each serve as a director for a term expiring upon the earlier of (i) the next annual meeting of our stockholders and until his successor is duly elected and qualified or (ii) his death, removal or resignation. Mr. Kahane currently serves as our chief executive officer and president and is a principal of AR Capital, LLC, which is the parent of our sponsor (among other non-traded real estate investment trusts and direct investment programs), indirectly wholly owns our special limited partner, advisor and property manager and owns a 60% interest in our sub-property manager. Mr. Perla is an independent director and will serve on our audit committee as the audit committee chairman and qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K.


 
 

Effective February 3, 2014, pursuant to the approval of our audit committee, we dismissed Grant Thornton LLP, or Grant Thornton, and engaged KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm effective as of that same date. Grant Thornton’s reports on our financial statements as of August 7, 2013 and our financial statements of our predecessor portfolio did not contain any adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinions and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Our dismissal of Grant Thornton was not the result of any disagreements with Grant Thornton.

Description of Potential Real Estate Investments

The following disclosure replaces in its entirety the section “Potential Acquisitions on page 171 of the Prospectus.

“Potential Acquisitions

In connection with the membership interest purchase agreement entered into by AR Capital, LLC with Barceló Crestline Corporation and Crestline Hotels & Resorts, Inc. for the acquisition of 60% of the membership interests in our sub-property manager (see “Management — Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Barceló Crestline Corporation”), certain affiliates of our sub-property manager agreed to make six properties available to us for purchase once we commence our initial public offering. The acquisition of such properties was subject to approval by our board of directors and customary closing conditions. On January 30, 2014, we entered into asset purchase agreements to acquire these six properties. The six properties are located throughout the east coast of the United States in various locations (including the northeast, mid-Atlantic and southeast regions) and vary from select-service to full-service hotels.

Although we have entered into asset purchase agreements relating to the acquisition of such properties, there is no guarantee that we will be able to consummate the acquisition of such assets.

The properties described below were selected for potential acquisition because they each meet our investment criteria relating to location, market position and hotel condition, as described under “Investment Objectives and Criteria — Primary Investment Focus.” The properties are globally branded select-service and full-service hotels, or, in the case of the Georgia Tech Hotel, a hotel affiliated with a university, and located near landmarks such as corporate headquarters, colleges or universities, tourist attractions, airports, retail centers or convention centers. The hotels are located in high barrier-to-entry markets with multiple demand generators and sustainable growth, and they are market share leaders in their respective locations. We believe each hotel is currently well maintained, with minimum deferred maintenance or renovation required. In addition, we believe each hotel will be purchased at a discount to replacement cost. In connection with the acquisition opportunities described below, we will either commission or utilize a recent independent appraisal performed on the property to establish a fair market value in order to determine the necessary discount to replacement cost. The purchase price for the properties was determined based on a number of factors,


 
 

including underwriting of historical and projected cash flow from the property, discounted cash flow, internal rate of return and market comparable analyses, analyses of national comparable sales, inspection of each hotel and its market, reviews of recent appraisal and loan documentation, as well as consultations with market experts such as brokers, appraisers, asset managers and the current property manager.

A description of the expected terms of the two asset purchase agreements is below. The terms of the final agreements are qualified in their entirety by the terms set forth in the asset purchase agreements.


 
 

Asset Purchase Agreement — the Courtyard Baltimore, the Courtyard Providence, the Homewood Suites Stratford and the Georgia Tech Hotel

On January 30, 2014, we, through wholly owned subsidiaries of our operating partnership, ARC Hospitality Baltimore, LLC, ARC Hospitality Providence, LLC, ARC Hospitality Stratford, LLC, and ARC Hospitality GA Tech, LLC, entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale with HFP Hotel Owner II, LLC, CSB Stratford, LLC and CC Technology Square, LLC to purchase the fee simple interest in each of the Courtyard Baltimore, the Courtyard Providence and the Homewood Suites Stratford, and an operating lease interest in the Georgia Tech Hotel, for a contract purchase price of $102 million, exclusive of closing costs, subject to certain adjustments at closing. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, with respect to the Georgia Tech Hotel, we will pay $5 million of the purchase price at closing, $3 million of the purchase price one year from the date of closing and $1 million of the purchase price two years from the date of closing. We intend to fund such aggregate purchase price by assuming a loan from an unaffiliated third party with a current maximum principal balance of $45.5 million, which is secured by the Courtyard Baltimore and the Courtyard Providence, and executing a promissory note in favor of the sellers at the closing for the balance of the purchase price. Additionally, the sellers of such assets will be entitled to an earnout payment calculated based upon an earnings target for hotel operations during the second year following our acquisition of such assets (excluding the Georgia Tech Hotel).

Pursuant to the terms of such asset purchase agreement, our obligation to close upon the acquisition of the four hotel assets is subject to certain conditions customary to closing. There will be no due diligence period prior to closing. However, our sponsor has completed all customary due diligence for each asset prior to the execution of the asset purchase agreement. Although we believe that the acquisition of the four hotels pursuant to this asset purchase agreement is probable, there can be no assurance that the acquisition will be consummated or that it will be consummated upon the terms described herein. The sellers will agree to indemnify us against any losses incurred by us, to the extent that such losses arise out of breaches of their representations and warranties contained in the asset purchase agreement, breaches of certain covenants in the agreement, and for any liabilities to third parties arising out of the use, operation or maintenance of the properties prior to the closing of the acquisition and, additionally, for any liabilities to any third parties arising out of the use, operation or maintenance of the properties prior to closing. The aggregate liability of the sellers pursuant to this indemnity will be up to an amount not to exceed 5% of the purchase price and will only be paid to the extent that, and in the amount by which, such losses exceed $50,000. We will agree to indemnify the sellers for any losses incurred by them, to the extent such losses arise out of breaches of our representations and warranties or certain covenants in the asset purchase agreement or any obligations for which we receive a purchase price credit at closing and, additionally, for any liabilities to any third parties arising out of the use, operation or maintenance of the properties subsequent to closing. The asset purchase agreement will contain customary representations and warranties by the sellers.

Asset Purchase Agreement — Hilton Garden Inn Blacksburg and the Westin Virginia Beach

Any transfer of a member’s interest in either TCA Block 7 Hotel, L.L.C. or BSE/AH Blacksburg Hotel, L.L.C. requires consent from all the other members of that respective entity.

Pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement, our obligation to close upon the acquisition of the equity interests in entities which own a joint venture interest in the two hotel assets described above is subject to certain conditions customary to closing. There will be no due diligence period prior to closing. However, our sponsor has completed all customary due diligence for each asset prior to the execution of the asset purchase agreement. Although we believe that the acquisition of such interests is probable, there can be no assurance that the acquisition will be consummated or that it will be consummated upon the terms described herein. The seller has agreed to indemnify us against any losses incurred by us to the extent that such losses arise out of breaches of their representations and warranties and any breaches of certain covenants in the asset purchase agreement. The aggregate liability of the seller pursuant to this indemnity will be up to an amount not to exceed 5% of the purchase price and will only be paid to the extent that, and in the amount by which, such losses exceed $50,000.
