DoubleTree Portfolio

On March 8, 2022, the Company began the marketing process to sell its DoubleTree Portfolio. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has sold the Beaverton, Vancouver and Bend properties for a combined purchase price of US$67.5 million. The Company had executed purchase and sale agreements on the Tigard property for a purchase price of US$24.5 million. However, the buyer defaulted on the agreement and relinquished the escrow to the Company. The Company is still actively marketing the Tigard property and hopes to complete the sale of the property before year end. Additionally, the Company has executed a purchase and sale agreement on the Olympia property for a purchase price of US$12.75 million and expects the transaction to close in the third quarter of 2023. The Company used the proceeds from the Beaverton, Bend, and Vancouver sales to pay off the DT Portfolio debt. The proceeds from the remaining sales will be used to pay down other outstanding debt the Company holds.

HIX Nashville Portfolio

On February 6, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with a broker to actively start marketing the Holiday Inn Express Nashville for sale. The Company is targeting a sales price of US$125 million. As of the date of this report, the Company has received bids between US$115 million and US$120 million. Management is confident that the Company will receive an offer at the target price in the near future. The Company plans to retire the entirety of the HIX Nashville debt with the proceeds of the sale.
