Item 1.01              Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Pursuant to the consent solicitation announced on August 1, 2017 (the “Consent Solicitation”), FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership (“FelCor LP”) solicited consents from holders of its 6.000% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) to amend the indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of May 21, 2015, by and among FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (“FelCor”), FelCor LP, the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture) and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association (the “Trustee”), governing the Notes to, among other things, provide that FelCor LP’s obligation under the Indenture to make a “Change of Control Offer” (as defined in the Indenture) will not apply to the Mergers (as defined in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of April 23, 2017, by and among FelCor, FelCor LP, RLJ Lodging Trust, RLJ Lodging Trust, L.P., Rangers Sub I, LLC and Rangers Sub II, LP) or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and to add certain definitions relating to the Mergers (the “Proposed Amendment”).

 

Based on the receipt of the requisite number of consents in the Consent Solicitation, on August 9, 2017, FelCor, FelCor LP, the guarantors party thereto and the Trustee executed a supplemental indenture to the Indenture (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) with respect to the Proposed Amendment.  The First Supplemental Indenture became effective immediately upon execution, but the First Supplemental Indenture and the Proposed Amendment will not become operative until immediately preceding the effective time of the Partnership Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and the consent fee of $2.50 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes will only be paid upon consummation of the Mergers, which is expected to occur on or about August 31, 2017.

 

The foregoing description of the First Supplemental Indenture and the Proposed Amendment therein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the First Supplemental Indenture, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
