American Realty Capital Hospitality Trust Announces $450 Million Financing Commitment from Deutsche Bank

NEW YORK, July 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- American Realty Capital Hospitality Trust, Inc. ("ARC Hospitality" or the "Company") announced today that it has entered into a commitment letter with Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. to provide up to $450 million in financing for the Company's previously announced acquisitions of separate, independent hotel portfolios from affiliates of each of Summit Hotel Properties (NYSE: INN), Noble Investment Group, LLC and Wheelock Street Capital, LLC. The three hotel portfolios are expected to be acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $743.9 million in seven separate closings tentatively scheduled over the next nine months, and encompass 44 hotels totaling 5,271 rooms in 18 states.

Subject to certain conditions, including the lender's satisfactory completion of due diligence and the negotiation and execution of definitive loan documentation, this new term loan facility may be drawn from time to time to fund the Company's acquisition of the 44 hotels and for general working capital purposes. The new borrowing facility is expected to have a term of up to five years including extension options and bear interest at a rate equal to 30-day LIBOR plus a spread of between 2.75% and 3.25%. The Company's fee interests in the hotels acquired will secure the term loans. Closing of the facility is expected to occur in August in advance of the first scheduled closing in which hotels will be acquired across the three portfolios.
