Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On May 14, 2013, BRE Select Hotels Corp (the “Company”) completed its previously announced acquisition of Apple REIT Six, Inc. (“Apple Six”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 29, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and between the Company, BRE Select Hotels Holdings LP (“Buyer”) and Apple Six, pursuant to which Apple Six merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding common share and related Series A preferred share of Apple Six were exchanged for (i) $9.20 in cash and (ii) one share of 7% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Company with an initial liquidation preference of $1.90 per share (the “New Preferred Shares”). As a result of the Merger, the Company acquired the business of Apple Six, a real estate investment trust. As of March 31, 2013, Apple Six owned 66 hotels located in 18 states with an aggregate of 7,658 rooms.

The initial liquidation preference of $1.90 per share will be subject to downward adjustment should net costs and payments relating to certain legacy litigation and regulatory matters exceed $3.5 million. The New Preferred Shares will include an option for the holder of any New Preferred Shares to redeem all or a portion of such holder’s New Preferred Shares at the liquidation preference, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends, after 7-1/2 years following the issuance of the New Preferred Shares in connection with the Merger and an initial dividend rate of 7% per share. The New Preferred Shares will also be redeemable by the Company at any time at the liquidation preference, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends. The dividend rate on the New Preferred Shares will increase to 11% per share if the New Preferred Shares are not redeemed within five years following the issuance of the New Preferred Shares in connection with the Merger. The New Preferred Shares issued in connection with the Merger will not be listed on any securities exchange.

On May 14, 2013, in connection with the acquisition of Apple Six pursuant to the Merger Agreement certain indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “Mortgage Borrowers”) obtained a $600,000,000 mortgage loan (the “Mortgage Loan”) from Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp. and Bank of America, N.A. (collectively, the “Lenders”). The Mortgage Loan is secured by first-priority, cross-collateralized mortgage liens on sixty-five of the sixty-six properties owned or ground-leased by certain subsidiaries of the Company, all related personal property, reserves, a pledge of all income received by the Mortgage Borrowers with respect to the properties and a security interest in a cash management account.

Certain indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company that own direct ownership interests in the Mortgage Borrowers (the “Mezzanine A Borrowers”) obtained a $100,000,000 loan (the “Mezzanine A Loan”) from the Lenders. Certain other indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company that own direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Borrowers (the “Mezzanine B Borrowers” and, together with the Mezzanine A Borrowers, the “Mezzanine Borrowers” and, together with the Mortgage Borrowers, the “Borrowers”) obtained a $75,000,000 loan (the “Mezzanine B Loan” and, together with the Mezzanine A Loan, the “Mezzanine Loans” and, together with the Mortgage Loan, the “Loans”) from the Lenders. Each of the Mezzanine Loans is secured by first-priority, cross-collateralized pledges of the direct or indirect ownership interests of each of the Mezzanine Borrowers in the Mortgage Borrowers, all related personal property, reserves, a pledge of all income received by each of the Mezzanine Borrowers with respect to its direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Borrowers and a security interest in a cash management account.

Each portion of the collateral security of the Mezzanine Loans is cross-defaulted with the Mortgage Loan and each portion of the collateral security of the Mezzanine B Loan is cross-defaulted with the Mezzanine A Loan.

In addition to the payment of the cash consideration in the Merger, the proceeds from the Loans were used to repay Apple Six’s credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., to repay or redeem certain of Apple Six’s mortgage debt, for other costs and expenses relating to the transactions in connection with the Merger Agreement and to establish reserves, including certain reserves required to be established under the terms of the Loans.

The initial interest rate of the Mortgage Loan is equal to the one-month London interbank offered rate for deposits, or LIBOR, plus a margin rate of approximately 3.34%. The initial interest rate of the Mezzanine A Loan is equal to the one-month LIBOR plus a margin rate of 5.75%. The initial interest rate of the Mezzanine B Loan is equal to the one-month LIBOR plus a margin rate of 6.95%. In connection with the Loans, the Borrowers entered into interest rate cap agreements, which cap the base interest rate before applying the applicable margins on the Loans, for an aggregate notional amount of $775 million, a termination date of May 15, 2016 and a strike rate of 4.00%. The Loans are scheduled to mature on May 14, 2016, with an option for the Borrowers to extend the initial term for two one-year extension terms, subject to certain conditions. In the event the Borrowers exercise the second one-year extension option, there will be a one-time increase in the applicable interest rate by 25 basis points for the last one-year extension period. The Loans are not subject to any mandatory amortization.

The Loans contain various representations and warranties, as well as certain financial, operating and other covenants that will among other things, limit the Company’s ability to:

Defaults under the Loans include, among other things, the failure to pay interest or principal when due, material misrepresentations, transfers of the underlying security for the Loans without any required consent from the applicable Lender, defaults under material agreements relating to the properties, including franchise and management agreements, bankruptcy of a Borrower or the Company, failure to maintain required insurance and a failure to observe other covenants under the Loans, in each case subject to any applicable cure rights.

The Loans are not prepayable during the first twelve months of the initial term of the Loans, except that each Borrower may prepay up to 15% of the Loan to which it is a party during such twelve month period and at any time thereafter without prepayment penalty or fee. The Borrowers may prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, at any time after the twelfth month of the initial term of the Loans, except that, if a prepayment is made at any time during the period from the thirteenth month through the eighteenth month of the initial term of the Loans and such prepayment, when aggregated with all other prepayments made by a Borrower of the applicable Loan, exceeds 15% of the amount of the Loans funded to such Borrower, then such Borrower will pay to the Lenders an amount equal to the present value of the interest payable on the principal being prepaid for the period from the date of the prepayment through the eighteenth month of the initial term of the Loans. Any prepayment made after the eighteenth month of the initial term of the Loans may be made without any prepayment penalty or fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any prepayment of the Loans with casualty or condemnation proceeds or any prepayment to enable the Borrowers to remove a ground leased property as collateral security due to a default by a Borrower under the applicable ground lease will not be subject to any limitation on prepayment or any prepayment fee or penalty.

In addition, the applicable Borrowers for each Loan and the Company will have recourse liability under the Loans for certain matters typical of a transaction of this type, including, without limitation, relating to losses arising out of actions by the Borrowers, the Company, Blackstone Real Estate Partners VII or their respective affiliates which constitute fraud, intentional misrepresentation, misappropriation of funds (including insurance proceeds), removal or disposal of any property after an event of default under the Loans, a material violation of the due on sale/encumbrance covenants set forth in the loan agreements, willful misconduct that results in waste to any property and any material modification or voluntary termination of a ground lease without the Lenders’ prior written consent if required under the loan agreements. The applicable Borrowers for each Loan and the Company will also have recourse liability for the Loans in the event any security instrument or loan agreement is deemed a fraudulent conveyance or a preference, in the event of a voluntary or collusive involuntary bankruptcy of any Borrower or any operating lessee of the properties, in the event Borrower, the Company, Blackstone Real Estate Partners VII or their respective affiliates consent to or join in the application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or examiner of any Borrower, or the operating lessee of any of the properties or any property or any Borrower or any operating lessee of the properties making an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

Concurrently with the Merger Agreement, Apple Six entered into an assignment and transfer agreement with Apple Nine Advisors, Inc. and Apple Fund Management, LLC, which was a wholly owned subsidiary of Apple Six. Pursuant to this agreement, effective immediately following the effective time of the Merger, Apple Six assigned all of its interests in Apple Fund Management, LLC to Apple Nine Advisors, Inc. Apple Fund Management, LLC previously provided support services to Apple Six and its affiliates. Following completion of the Merger, WHM LLC will provide support services to the Company and its subsidiaries.
