Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On November 2, 2015, American Realty Capital Hospitality Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) completed the acquisition of two hotels (the “First Noble Closing Hotels”) from affiliates of Noble Investment Group, LLC for an aggregate purchase price of $48.6 million, which was funded with $3.6 million previously paid as an earnest money deposit, $19.0 million from the Company’s ongoing initial public offering and $26.0 million from an advance, secured by a mortgage on the First Noble Closing Hotels, under the Company’s existing term loan agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) with Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and BMO Capital Markets, as joint lead arrangers and joint book-running managers, and Bank of Montreal, as syndication agent.

 

Following the advance, approximately $122.8 million was outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement at an interest rate of 3.95% per annum. Assuming the full $450 million of lender commitments are available as expected, the Company has approximately $327.2 available for additional advances under the Term Loan Agreement, which may be used: (i) to fund closing consideration required to complete the six remaining separate closings of hotels to be acquired in the Company’s previously announced pending acquisitions of separate, independent hotel portfolios from affiliates of each of Summit Hotel Properties, Inc. (NYSE:INN), Noble Investment Group, LLC and Wheelock Street Capital, LLC; or (ii) for general working capital purposes. Each advance is subject to customary funding conditions and there can be no assurance that all, or any, of the advances will be funded.

 

The First Noble Closing Hotels were purchased pursuant to agreements among wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company’s operating partnership and affiliates of Noble Investment Group, LLC, which were first entered into on June 15, 2015. These agreements, as amended, provide for the purchase and sale of fee simple interests in the First Noble Closing Hotels and 11 other hotels (collectively, the “Noble Portfolio”) in four separate closings for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $300.0 million, subject to closing prorations and other adjustments. Two of the remaining closings are scheduled to occur in December 2015, and the third remaining closing is scheduled to occur in the first quarter of 2016. All three remaining closings are expected to be funded in a similar manner to the first closing, and the Company has certain rights to postpone the final two remaining closings.
