Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
Summit Hotel OP, LP (the Operating Partnership), the operating partnership subsidiary of Summit Hotel Properties, Inc. (Summit), intends to file a Form 15 to voluntarily suspend its duty to file periodic and other reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and voluntarily deregister its units of limited partnership interest designated as common units under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). The Operating Partnership expects to file the Form 15 with the SEC on December 12, 2013. As a result of filing the Form 15 with the SEC, the Operating Partnership will no longer be required to file annual, quarterly or periodic reports with the SEC. The anticipated filing of the Form 15 by the Operating Partnership will not impact the registration of Summits common stock under the Exchange Act or Summits obligations as a reporting issuer under the Exchange Act.
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains statements that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are based upon the Operating Partnerships expectations, but these statements are not guaranteed to occur. There can be no assurance that the Operating Partnership will file a Form 15, suspend its reporting obligations or deregister its common units.
