BOSTON, Dec. 11, 2013 /CNW/ - Plymouth Realty Capital Corp. ("Plymouth") (TSXV: PH.P), a capital pool company, announces today that it intends to proceed with a private placement (the "Offering") of units (the "Units") at a price of $0.15 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of a minimum of $5 million and a maximum of $15 million to fund the previously announced acquisition of the "Hampton Inn" branded hotel in New Jersey as its "Qualifying Transaction" and, to the extent proceeds sufficiently exceed the minimum, the "Hampton Inn" branded hotels in Florida and Massachusetts.  Each Unit will comprise one common share of Plymouth and one unlisted non-transferable common share purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one common share of Plymouth at a price of $0.15 per share for a two year period from the date of issuance.

The Units will be offered and sold to qualified investors on a best efforts basis through M Partners Inc. or a syndicate of agents led by M Partners Inc. and, absent an available exemption, will be subject to a four month hold period.  The agents will be paid a cash commission equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and will receive an option to purchase, at any time up to 24 months from the date of issuance, up to that number of Plymouth common shares equal to 7.5% of the number of shares issued in the Offering at a price of $0.15 per share.

Closing of the Offering will occur contemporaneously with, or immediately prior to, the closing of the "Qualifying Transaction", which is currently anticipated to be on or about January 31, 2014.

Plymouth's common shares are currently halted and Plymouth anticipates they will remain halted until the documentation required by the TSXV for the proposed "Qualifying Transaction" can be provided to the TSXV.
