American Hotel Income Properties REIT LP (“
AHIP”
or the “
Company”) (TSX: HOT.UN, TSX: HOT.U, TSX:
HOT.DB.U) announced today that it has entered into an agreement
with a syndicate of underwriters (the
“
Underwriters”) led by CIBC Capital Markets and
BMO Capital Markets to issue to the public on a bought deal basis,
subject to regulatory approval, US$50,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures at a price
of US$1,000 per debenture with a coupon of 6.00% per annum (the
“
Debentures”). The Debentures will mature on
December 31, 2026 and are convertible at the option of the holder
into limited partnership units of AHIP (each, a
“
Unit” or collectively “
Units”)
at US$4.95 per Unit (the “
Conversion Price” and
collectively with all other terms, the
“
Offering”).
AHIP has also granted to the Underwriters an
over-allotment option to purchase up to US$5,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of additional Debentures, representing 10% of the
size of the Offering. The over-allotment option is exercisable in
whole or in part anytime for a period of up to 30 days following
closing of the Offering to cover over-allotments, if any, and for
market stabilization purposes.
The Debentures will be convertible at the option
of the holder into Units at any time prior to maturity at the
Conversion Price, which represents an approximate 30% premium to
the current market price of the Units (based on an exchange rate
of 1.2495 on November 10, 2021). The Conversion Price of the
Debentures also represents a conversion rate of
approximately 202.0203 Units for each US$1,000 principal
amount of Debentures, subject to adjustment in accordance with the
trust indenture governing the Debentures.
The Debentures will bear interest at a rate of
6.00% per annum and will be payable semi-annually on June 30 and
December 31 until maturity on December 31, 2026, with the first
payment commencing on June 30, 2022. The Debentures will not be
redeemable by AHIP prior to December 31, 2024. On or after December
31, 2024, but prior to December 31, 2025, the Debentures will be
redeemable, in whole or in part, at a price equal to par plus
accrued and unpaid interest, at AHIP’s option, provided that the
volume-weighted average trading price of the Units on the Toronto
Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) is not less than 125%
of the Conversion Price. On and after December 31, 2025 and prior
to the maturity date, the Debentures will be redeemable, in whole
or in part, at a price equal to par plus accrued and unpaid
interest, at AHIP’s option.
AHIP intends to use the net proceeds from the
Offering, together with cash on hand, to fund the intended
redemption of the Company’s outstanding convertible unsecured
subordinated debentures due on June 30, 2022, with an aggregate
principal amount outstanding of US$48,875,000, trading on the TSX
under the trading symbol “HOT.DB.U” (the “2022
Debentures”). Any additional net proceeds resulting from
an exercise of the over-allotment option will be used, in lieu of
cash on hand, to fund the aforementioned intended redemption of the
2022 Debentures, with any remainder used to partially pay down the
Company’s revolving credit facility.
The closing of the Offering is expected to occur
on or about November 26, 2021. The Offering is subject to customary
regulatory approvals, including the TSX. The Debentures will be
offered in each of the provinces of Canada by way of a short form
prospectus (the “Prospectus”) to be filed with
securities regulators in all provinces of Canada and may also be
offered by way of private placement in the United States.
Upon completion of the Offering, it is AHIP’s
intention to send a notice of redemption, effective December 31,
2021 (the “Redemption Date”), in respect of all of
the outstanding 2022 Debentures, for an aggregate redemption price
equal to the sum of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of
the 2022 Debentures of US$48,875,000 and all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon up to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. The
2022 Debentures will cease to bear interest from and after the
Redemption Date. The redemption of the 2022 Debentures will be
effected in accordance with the terms of the trust indenture dated
June 9, 2017, between the Company and Computershare Trust Company
of Canada.
The securities offered have not been registered
under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be
offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an
applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This press
release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation
of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in
any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be
unlawful.
