DoubleTree Portfolio

On March 8, 2022, the Company began the marketing process to sell its DoubleTree Portfolio. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has sold the Beaverton property and Vancouver property for a combined purchase price of US$29 million. The Company has executed purchase and sale agreements on the Tigard property and Bend property for a combined purchase price of US$53 million and expects these transactions to close in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company will use the proceeds from the sale to pay down the outstanding debt on the DoubleTree Portfolio.

The Company has opted to no longer sell the Olympia property at this time.

NHT Capitalization Updates

NHT previously announced that a subsidiary of NHT had, between July 1, 2022, and September 30, 2022, issued convertible notes (the "Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of US$8.5 million (the "Liquidity Transactions") to affiliates of NHT's external advisor.

The Notes bear interest at varying rates and are repayable in membership interests ("Membership Interests") of NHT's operating subsidiary, NHT Operating Partnership, LLC (the "OP"), which are redeemable for trust units of NHT ("Trust Units") at the option of NHT in its sole discretion. The approval of the TSX Venture Exchange will be required prior to any conversion of the Membership Interests into Trust Units. NHT used the proceeds of the Liquidity Transactions for general working capital purposes.  Management believes the Liquidity Transactions will further strengthen NHT's balance sheet and liquidity profile to better position itself as the hospitality industry continues to rebound from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The fair market value of each Note does not exceed and did not exceed at the time of issuance of such Note 25% of NHT's market capitalization.

Each of the Liquidity Transactions constituted a related party transaction as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Liquidity Transactions were completed in reliance on (i) an available exemption from the formal valuation requirement of MI 61-101 provided in paragraph (a) of Section 5.5 of MI 61-101 and (ii) an available exemption from the minority shareholder requirement of MI 61-101 provided in paragraph (a) of Section 5.7(1) of MI 61-101.
