NexPoint Hospitality Trust (TSXV: NHT.U) (“NHT”) and Condor
Hospitality Trust, Inc. (NYSE American: CDOR) (“Condor”) today
announced the execution of a definitive agreement (the “Merger
Agreement”), under which NHT’s operating partnership, NHT Operating
Partnership, LLC (“NHT OP”), will acquire all of the outstanding
equity interests of Condor and its operating partnership by merger.
The total consideration payable pursuant to the transaction is
approximately US$318 million, which will be satisfied by a
combination of cash and debt, including the assumption of certain
debt.
Transaction Highlights
- In line with NHT’s growth strategy, NHT will acquire 15
select-service and extended stay hospitality properties,
representing 1,908 guestrooms across eight U.S. states (the
“Portfolio”).
- The transaction will expand NHT’s geographic footprint into
Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi and South Carolina
and increase its presence in Florida and Texas.
- Following closing of the transaction, NHT’s gross asset value
is expected to increase to approximately US$700 million.
- The merger consideration of US$11.10 per share to be paid to
holders of shares of common stock represents a premium of
approximately 34% over Condor’s unaffected share price of US$8.27
as of July 19, 2019, the most recent trading day before the public
announcement of the proposal to acquire Condor.
A presentation further detailing the merits of the proposed
transaction can be found under “News & Presentations” in the
Investor Relations section of NHT’s website
(http://www.nexpointhospitality.com).
“We’re excited about NexPoint Hospitality Trust’s strategic
merger with Condor Hospitality Trust. The transaction instantly
expands NHT’s geographical footprint and balances NHTs strategic
value-add portfolio with durable, core, extended-stay hotels.”
stated NHT’s Chief Executive Officer, Jim Dondero. “We believe the
future for quality extended-stay and select-service hotels remains
bright.”
Bill Blackham, Condor’s Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We
are pleased with our strategic alternatives process concluding with
a transaction we believe is attractive for our shareholders. NHT is
acquiring our very high quality portfolio of outperforming select
service hotels and Condor shareholders are receiving a liquidity
event at an attractive premium to our unaffected share price prior
to the transaction announcement.”
Key Transaction Terms
- Completion of the transaction, which is expected to occur in
the fourth quarter of 2019, is subject to customary closing
conditions, including the approval of Condor’s common and preferred
shareholders. There can be no assurances that any such conditions
will be satisfied or waived or that the acquisition of the
Portfolio will be completed.
- NHT OP has entered into voting agreements with certain
shareholders of Condor that hold approximately 53% of the
outstanding common shares and 100% of the preferred shares of
Condor, pursuant to which, such holders have agreed to vote their
shares of Condor in favor of the transaction.
- The transaction is not contingent on receipt of financing. NHT
OP has entered into an equity commitment letter with NexPoint
Advisors, L.P. (“NexPoint”), pursuant to which NexPoint has agreed
to provide equity financing for the purchase price payable under
the Merger Agreement (the “Equity Financing”). In addition to the
Equity Financing, NHT will assume approximately US$8.65 million of
in-place property level mortgage financing and expects to obtain
secured financing to finance a portion of the purchase price and
refinance certain debt of Condor.
- Upon closing of the transaction, holders of common stock of
Condor would receive US$11.10, without interest thereon, per share,
holders of 6.25% Series E Preferred Stock of Condor would receive
US$10.00 per share and limited partners of Condor’s operating
partnership, Condor Hospitality Limited Partnership (“Condor OP”),
would receive US$0.21346 per Condor OP partnership interest.
- The transaction is an arm’s length transaction and no non-arm’s
length party of NHT holds any interest in Condor or its
assets.
- NHT expects to maintain its current quarterly dividend of
US$0.075 per unit or US$0.300 per unit on an annualized basis.
