Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On October 1, 2013, a qualified intermediary of Hyatt Hotels Corporation (the “Company”), acquired The Peabody Orlando hotel, a 1641-room convention center hotel in Orlando, Florida, from UST Hotel Joint Venture, Ltd. (“Seller”) in a like-kind exchange transaction, for approximately $717 million in cash (subject to standard and customary proration and closing adjustments) (the “Acquisition”).
The foregoing description of the Acquisition is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, as amended, dated August 27, 2013, between Hyatt Equities, LLC and Seller, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on August 28, 2013, and incorporated herein by reference.
Forward-Looking Statements
Forward-Looking Statements in this 8-K, which are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Our actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “likely,” “will,” “would” and variations of these terms and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by us and our management, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among others, the rate and pace of economic recovery following economic downturns; levels of spending in business and leisure segments as well as consumer confidence; declines in occupancy and average daily rate; if our third-party owners, franchisees or development partners are unable to access the capital necessary to fund current operations or implement our plans for growth; changes in the competitive environment in our industry and the markets where we operate; our ability to access the capital markets; and other risks discussed in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which filings are available from the SEC. We caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are made as of the date of this 8-K. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any of these forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, new information or future events, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable laws. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
