Introductory Note

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed in connection with the consummation on August 31, 2017 of the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated April 23, 2017, by and among RLJ Lodging Trust (“RLJ”), RLJ Lodging Trust, L.P. (“RLJ LP”), Rangers Sub I, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of RLJ LP (the “Company”), Rangers Sub II, LP, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RLJ LP, FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (“FelCor”) and FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership (“FelCor LP”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, FelCor merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of RLJ LP (the “Merger”).

 

Prior to the consummation of the Merger, FelCor was a party to (i) that certain Indenture (the “Secured Indenture”), dated as of December 17, 2012, by and among FelCor LP, FelCor, the other guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, registrar paying agent and collateral agent (the “Trustee”) and (ii) that certain Indenture (the “Unsecured Indenture” and, together with the Secured Indenture, the “Indentures”), dated as of May 21, 2015, by and among FelCor LP, FelCor, the other guarantors party thereto and the Trustee. Pursuant to the terms of the Indentures, a successor of FelCor must file all reports required to be filed by Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), regardless of whether such entity is required to file reports with the Commission generally. Following consummation of the Merger, the Company entered into a supplemental indenture to each of the Secured Indenture and the Unsecured Indenture, as described below, and, therefore, as successor by merger of FelCor, assumed FelCor’s reporting obligations under each of the Indentures.
