Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) that are not historical facts (including any statements concerning investment objectives, other plans and objectives of management for future operations or economic performance, or assumptions or forecasts related thereto) are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). These statements are only predictions. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees. Actual events or our investments and results of operations could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “predict,” “potential” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology.

The forward-looking statements included herein are based upon our current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:

our ability to raise proceeds in our Public Offering (as defined below);

our ability to effectively deploy the proceeds raised in our Public Offering;

adverse effects of the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19), including a potential general reduction in business and personal travel and potential travel restrictions in regions where our hotels are located;

changes in economic conditions generally and the real estate and debt markets specifically;

our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms;

our levels of debt and the terms and limitations imposed on us by our debt agreements;

our ability to successfully identify and acquire properties on terms that are favorable to us;

risks inherent in the real estate business, including potential liability relating to environmental matters and the lack of liquidity of real estate investments;

changes in demand for rooms at our hotel properties;

the fact that we pay fees and expenses to our advisor and its affiliates that were not negotiated on an arm’s-length basis and the fact that the payment of these fees and expenses increases the risk that our stockholders will not earn a profit on their investment in us;

our ability to retain our executive officers and other key personnel of our advisor, our property manager and other affiliates of our advisor;

our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to pay distributions to our stockholders;

legislative or regulatory changes (including changes to the laws governing the taxation of REITs (as defined below);

the availability of capital;

changes in interest rates; and

changes to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Any of the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements could be inaccurate. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included in this Annual Report. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Annual Report and the risk that actual results will differ materially from the expectations expressed in this Annual Report will increase with the passage of

time. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this Annual Report, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included in this Annual Report, the inclusion of such forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the objectives and plans set forth in this Annual Report will be achieved.

PART I

Item 1.

Business

Overview

Procaccianti Hotel REIT, Inc., (which is referred to in this Annual Report, as context requires, as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was formed on August 24, 2016, under the laws of Maryland to acquire and own a diverse portfolio of hospitality properties consisting primarily of select-service, extended-stay and compact full-service hotel properties throughout the United States. As of December 31, 2019, we owned an interest in three select-service hotel properties. We elected to be taxed as, and currently operate as, a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2018.

Substantially all of our business is conducted through Procaccianti Hotel REIT, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership that is wholly-owned by us (the “Operating Partnership”). We are the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. We are externally managed by our advisor, Procaccianti Hotel Advisors, LLC (“PHA”) pursuant to an advisory agreement by and among us, our Operating Partnership and PHA, dated August 2, 2019 (as amended, the “Advisory Agreement”). PHA is an affiliate of our sponsor, Procaccianti Companies, Inc. (“Sponsor”).

Subscription proceeds from K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares in our Private Offering and our Public Offering, as discussed below, have been and will be applied to investments in hotel properties or real estate-related investments relating to hotel properties. We will experience a relative increase in liquidity as we receive additional subscriptions for shares and a relative decrease in liquidity as we spend net offering proceeds in connection with the acquisition and operation of our hotel properties. The number of properties and other assets we will acquire will depend upon the number of shares sold and the resulting amount of net proceeds available for investment in properties and other assets.

We intend to make reserve allocations as necessary to aid our objective of preserving capital for our investors by supporting the maintenance and viability of properties we acquire in the future. If reserves and any other available income become insufficient to cover our operating expenses and liabilities, it may be necessary to obtain additional funds by borrowing, refinancing properties or liquidating our investment in one or more properties. There is no assurance that such funds will be available, or if available, that the terms will be acceptable to us.

On September 30, 2016, we commenced a private offering (“Private Offering”) of shares of Class K common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“K Shares”), and units, which are comprised of four K Shares and one share of Class A common stock, each $0.01 par value per share (“Units”), for $10.00 per K Share and $50.00 per Unit, with a targeted maximum offering of  $150,000,000 in K Shares (including K Shares sold as part of a Unit) to accredited investors only pursuant to a confidential private placement memorandum exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). PHA and its affiliates agreed to purchase Class A common stock (separate from the purchase of Units), at $10.00 per share (“A Shares”). We terminated our Private Offering prior to the commencement of the Public Offering (as defined below), and, as of such termination, received approximately $15,582,755 in gross proceeds from the sale of K Shares and A Shares, including Units, in the Private Offering. Of the $15,582,755 in gross proceeds received, $2,954,095 was from the sale of A Shares to TPG Hotel REIT Investor, LLC (“THR”), an affiliate of PHA, to fund organization and offering expenses associated with the K Shares and Units.

On August 14, 2018, we commenced our public offering (“Public Offering”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (Registration No. 333-217578) (“Registration Statement”), filed under the Securities Act with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), to offer up to $550,000,000 in shares of common stock, including $500,000,000 in shares of common stock pursuant to the primary offering, consisting of the following three share classes: K Shares at an initial offering price of  $10.00 per K Share, K-I Shares (“K-I Shares”), at an initial offering price of  $9.50 per K-I Share, and K-T Shares (“K-T Shares”), at an initial offering price of  $10.00 per K-T Share and $50,000,000 in shares of common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”), at $9.50 per K Share, $9.50 per K-I Share and $9.50 per

1


TABLE OF CONTENTS

K-T Share. On November 16, 2018, we revised the offering price per K-I Share in the primary offering from $9.50 to $9.30 per K-I Share.

On May 23, 2019, our board of directors determined an estimated net asset value (“NAV”) per share of all classes of our capital stock, each calculated as of March 31, 2019, as follows: (i) $10.00 per K Share; (ii) $10.00 per K-I Share; (iii) $10.00 per K-T Share; (iv) $3.97 per A Share; and (v) $0.00 per B Share. On March 22, 2018, our board of directors determined an estimated NAV per share of all classes of the our capital stock, each calculated as of February 28, 2018, as follows: (i) $10.00 per K Share; (ii) $10.00 per K-I Share; (iii) $10.00 per K-T Share; (iv) $0.00 per A Share; and (v) $0.00 per B Share. The NAV per share of all classes of our capital stock was published before the COVID-19 pandemic, and may differ significantly from our actual estimated NAV per share until such time as sufficient information is available and analyzed, the financial impact is fully evaluated, and the appropriate adjustment is made to our estimated NAV per share, as determined by our board of directors. Any resulting disparity may be to the detriment of a purchaser of our shares. We expect to release the updated NAV per share of all classes of our capital stock calculated as of March 31, 2020, which may be lower than the current NAV per share of all classes of our capital stock.

Since the commencement of the Public Offering and as of December 31, 2019, we received approximately $19,530,181 in gross proceeds from the sale of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares in the Public Offering, inclusive of proceeds from the sale of  $28,102 of K Shares, $32,596 of K-I Shares and $630 of K-T Shares pursuant to the DRIP. Additionally, on October 26, 2018 and June 10, 2019, we received $1,500,000 and $690,000, respectively, from the sale of A Shares to THR in private placements. We intend to use the proceeds from A Shares to pay the selling commissions, dealer manager fees, stockholder servicing fees, and other organizational and offering expenses related to the K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares sold in the primary offering portion of our Public Offering. In addition, we will allocate proceeds from the sale of A shares in amounts that represent the difference between (i) the applicable estimated NAV per K-I Share and the offering price of K-I Shares sold in our primary offering and (ii) any discount to the initial offering price of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares arising from reduced or waived selling commissions (other than reduced selling commissions for volume discounts) or dealer manager fees.

As of March 26, 2020, we had sold 3,328,016 K Shares, 631,699 K-I Shares, 47,989 K-T Shares and 537,410 A Shares in all our offerings for gross proceeds of  $33,066,604, $5,878,256, $479,675 and $5,374,095, respectively, and $44,798,630 in the aggregate. These gross proceeds are inclusive of 5,884 K Shares, 6,100 K-I Shares and 439 K-T Shares issued pursuant to our DRIP, for gross offering proceeds of  $55,899, $57,950 and $4,175, respectively, and $118,024 in the aggregate.

We expect to offer shares of our common stock in the Public Offering over a two-year period. If we have not sold all of the shares to be offered in the Public Offering within two years from the effective date of the Registration Statement, we may continue the Public Offering until August 14, 2021. We may, in our sole discretion, terminate the Public Offering at any time.

If our board of directors determines that it is in our best interest, we may conduct follow-on public offerings upon the termination of the Public Offering. Our charter does not restrict our ability to conduct offerings in the future.

The negative impact on room demand within our portfolio stemming from the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is significant. We experienced an initial decline in hotel revenue that began in February in a limited number of markets. However, with the increased spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) across the globe, the impact has accelerated rapidly throughout our hotel portfolio. The market and economic challenges associated with COVID-19 could materially affect (i) the value and performance of our investments, (ii) our ability to pay future distributions, if any, (iii) the availability or terms of financings, (iv) our ability to make scheduled principal and interest payments, and (v) our ability to refinance any outstanding debt when contractually due. A more detailed discussion of the potential effects of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on our business is contained in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2019 Highlights

As of December 31, 2019:

we raised gross offering proceeds of  $15,582,755 in our Private Offering, which terminated in August 2018, gross offering proceeds of  $19,530,181 in our Public Offering, and gross offering proceeds of  $2,190,000 from issuances of A Shares to THR in a private placement;

our board of directors determined an estimated NAV per share of  $10.00 for each of our K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares; $3.97 per A Share and $0.00 per B Share, as of March 31, 2019;

we currently pay quarterly distributions at a 6.0% annualized distribution rate based on a distribution base of  $10.00 per K Share, $10.00 per K-I Share and $10.00 per K-T Share. On March 3, 2020, our stockholders voted to amend our charter to increase the rate at which cash distributions accrue from a 6.0% annualized distribution rate to a 7.0% annualized distribution rate for each of the K Share, K-I Share, K-T Share and A Shares based on each respective distribution base. The Articles of Amendment to our charter will be filed with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation on or around March 31, 2020; and

we, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Operating Partnership, owned 100% of the fee simple interest in a select-service hotel property and, through our joint venture with Procaccianti Convertible Fund, LLC (“PCF”), an affiliate of our Sponsor, owned a 51% interest in two select-service hotel properties. Each property was purchased from sellers unaffiliated with us, our Sponsor, PCF, PHA or their affiliates.

Investment Objectives

We invest in commercial real estate properties with an intended focus on the hotel sector. Our primary investment objectives are:

to provide stable income for stockholders through the payment of cash distributions;

to preserve and return stockholders’ capital contributions; and

to maximize risk-adjusted returns on stockholders’ investment.

Investment Strategy

We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares in the Public Offering and other sources of debt and equity financing, including the net proceeds of any future private placement or public offering we may pursue, to invest in a diverse portfolio of real estate investments located throughout the United States, primarily in the hospitality sector. We intend to acquire existing hotel properties and enter into management agreements for their operations, with the objective of providing a stable and secure source of income for our stockholders and maximizing potential returns upon disposition of our assets through capital appreciation. Within our hotel portfolio, we will focus on investments in “upper midscale,” “upscale,” and “upper upscale” properties that satisfy our investment goals.

While our emphasis will be on stabilized, income-producing hospitality assets, a limited portion of our overall portfolio may include properties that offer modest value-add opportunities through limited capital improvements, revenue enhancements, operational improvements, and correction of expense inefficiencies. We may seek to acquire such assets directly or through joint ventures. Additionally, we may seek to acquire real-estate related loans or preferred equity securities of other real estate companies, all of which we collectively refer to herein as “real estate-related assets,” in each case with the intent of acquiring the underlying real estate, provided that the underlying real estate generally meets our criteria for direct investment. We may also acquire any other investment that, in the opinion of our board of directors, meets our investment objectives, is consistent with our intent to operate as a REIT, and is in our stockholders’ best interests.

After we have invested substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering and other sources of debt and equity financing, we expect that hospitality properties will comprise between 90% and 100% of the aggregate cost of our portfolio. Mortgage loans, other real-estate related debt, and preferred equity should

3


TABLE OF CONTENTS

comprise up to 10% of the aggregate cost of our portfolio. Our board of directors may revise this targeted portfolio allocation from time to time, or at any time, if it determines that a different portfolio composition is in our stockholders’ best interests.

Real Estate Portfolio

As of December 31, 2019, we, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Operating Partnership, owned 100% of the fee simple interest in the Hotel Indigo Traverse City, a select-service hotel property, and, through our joint venture with PCF an affiliate of our Sponsor, owned a 51% interest in two select-service hotel properties, the Staybridge Suites St. Petersburg and the Springhill Suites Wilmington. Each property was purchased from sellers unaffiliated with us, our Sponsor, PCF, PHA or their affiliates. These properties were financed with a combination of debt and offering proceeds from the Private Offering.

The following table summarizes our three select-service hotel properties as of December 31, 2019:

Property Name* Date Acquired Location Ownership<br>Interest Contract <br>Purchase <br>Price(1)(2) Rooms Mortgage <br>Debt<br>Outstanding
Springhill Suites Wilmington 05/24/2017(1) Wilmington, NC 51% $ 18,000,000 120 $ 11,268,000
Staybridge Suites <br>St. Petersburg 06/29/2017(1) St. Petersburg, FL 51% $ 20,500,000 119 $ 13,325,000
Hotel Indigo <br>Traverse City 08/15/2018 Traverse City, MI 100% $ 26,050,000 107 $ 15,092,000(3)

*

We believe each property is suitable for its present and intended purposes and adequately covered by insurance.

(1)

Represents the date and contract purchase price of PCF’s acquisition of the Springhill Suites Wilmington and the Staybridge Suites St. Petersburg. We exercised our option under an option agreement to purchase a 51% membership interest in PCF on March 29, 2018.

(2)

Contract purchase price excludes acquisition fees and costs.

(3)

Original principal loan balance was $17,836,000. As of December 31, 2019, the Company repaid $2,744,000 of the original outstanding principal balance.

During the year ending December 31, 2020, we plan to invest in upgrades and improvements that are normal in our course of business. We anticipate using cash on hand in our furniture, fixtures and equipment reserve accounts.

Borrowing Policies

Under our charter, our borrowings may not exceed 300% of our total “net assets” (as defined in our charter) as of the date of any borrowing (which is the maximum level of indebtedness permitted under the Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts revised and adopted by the North American Securities Administrators Association on May 7, 2007, or the NASAA REIT Guidelines, absent a satisfactory showing that a higher level is appropriate), which is generally expected to be approximately 75% of the cost of our investments. However, we can exceed this threshold if doing so is approved by a majority of our independent directors and is disclosed to our stockholders in our next quarterly report with an explanation of the justification for the excess borrowing.

Examples of justifications that could be found by a majority of our independent directors include: (i) if the value of our portfolio declined and new borrowings were necessary to repay existing obligations, (ii) to pay sufficient distributions to maintain our REIT status, or (iii) to buy a property where an exceptional acquisition opportunity presented itself and the terms of the debt and nature of the property were such that the debt did not increase the risk that we would become unable to meet our financial obligations as they became due. There is no limitation on the amount we may borrow for the purchase of any single property, but our portfolio leverage cannot exceed 75% of the cost of our investments without justification; however,

4


TABLE OF CONTENTS

we intend to target a leverage ratio of the greater of 50% loan-to-value or loan-to-cost. During the initial stages of our offering, however, our leverage ratio could exceed our target leverage ratio. Should a majority of our independent directors find justification, there will be no limitation on our portfolio leverage.

We intend to maintain amounts outstanding under long-term debt arrangements or lines of credit so that we will have more funds available for investment in properties, which will allow us to acquire a more diversified portfolio. However, the percentage of debt financing we utilize at any given time will be dependent upon various factors to be considered in the sole discretion of our board of directors, including, but not limited to, our ability to raise equity proceeds from the sale of our securities in this and future offerings, our ability to pay distributions, the availability of properties meeting our investment criteria, the availability of debt financing, and changes in the cost of debt financing. To help finance our initial acquisitions, we may utilize short-term borrowings. However, after our initial property acquisitions, as a general principle, we anticipate that the term of any debt financing we utilize will correspond to the anticipated holding period for the respective property.

Our use of leverage increases the risk of default on mortgage payments and a resulting foreclosure of a particular property. To the extent that we do not obtain mortgage loans on our properties, our ability to acquire additional properties will be limited. When interest rates on mortgage loans are high or financing is otherwise unavailable on a timely basis, we may purchase certain properties for cash with the intention of obtaining a mortgage loan for a portion of the purchase price at a later time. PHA will seek to obtain financing on our behalf on the most favorable terms available. Lenders may have recourse to assets not securing the repayment of indebtedness.

PHA may refinance properties during the term of a loan in various circumstances, such as when a decline in interest rates makes it beneficial to prepay an existing mortgage, when an existing mortgage matures, or if an attractive investment becomes available and the proceeds from refinancing can be used to purchase such investment. The benefits of the refinancing may include an increased cash flow resulting from reduced debt service requirements, an increase in distributions from proceeds of the refinancing, if any, and/or an increase in property ownership if some refinancing proceeds are reinvested in real estate.

We may repay borrowings under any future credit facility or under any future long-term mortgage debt with proceeds from the sale of properties, operating cash flow, long-term mortgage debt, proceeds from the Public Offering, proceeds from any future private or public offering, or proceeds from any other future securities offerings.

As of December 31, 2019, our total outstanding indebtedness totaled $39,779,194. This amount did not exceed 300% of the value of our net assets.

Economic Dependency

We depend on PHA for certain services that are essential to us, including the identification, evaluation, negotiation, purchase and disposition of properties and other investments, management of the daily operations of our real estate portfolio, and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event that PHA is unable to provide these services to us, we will be required to obtain such services from other sources, and our failure to identify such other sources could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. We also depend upon our dealer manager for the sale of our shares of common stock in our offering.

Competition

The hotel industry is highly competitive. Our hotel properties will compete on the basis of location, room rates, quality, range of services, brand affiliation, and reservation systems, among many other factors. New hotel properties may be constructed, which results in new competitors in a market, in some cases without corresponding increases in demand for hotel rooms. We expect to face competition from many sources. We will face competition from other hotel properties both in the immediate vicinity and the geographic market where our hotel properties will be located. Over-building of hotel properties in the markets in which we operate may increase the number of rooms available and may decrease occupancy and room rates, which would adversely affect our operations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We will also compete with alternative lodging products for guests. Certain companies, including AIRBNB, homeaway.com and VRBO.com offer vacation and overnight lodging to the public. This competition could reduce occupancy levels and rental revenues at our properties, which would adversely affect our profitability and impede our growth.

We will compete with numerous real estate companies and other owners of real estate in seeking hotel properties for acquisition and pursuing buyers for dispositions. We expect that other real estate investors, including insurance companies, private equity funds, sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, other REITs and other well-capitalized investors, will compete with us to acquire existing properties, and many of these investors will have greater sources of capital to acquire properties. This competition could increase prices for properties of the type we would likely pursue and adversely affect our profitability and impede our growth. Competition when multiple hospitality investors are seeking to dispose of properties can conversely decrease prices for properties, which, if we are trying to dispose of properties, could adversely affect our profitability and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

Income Taxes

We elected to be taxed as, and currently qualify as, a REIT under the Code commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2018. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to its stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent it distributes qualifying dividends to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year following the year we initially elected to be taxed as a REIT, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to our stockholders. However, we are, and intend to continue to be, organized and operated in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT.

Distribution Policy

In order to qualify as a REIT, we generally are required to make aggregate annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gain. Our board of directors may authorize distributions in excess of those required for us to maintain REIT status depending on our financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.

We currently pay regular quarterly distributions to our stockholders. We expect to continue to pay distributions quarterly unless our results of operations, our general financial condition, applicable provisions of Maryland law or other factors make it imprudent to do so. Our goal is to eventually be in a position to make monthly distribution payments. The timing and amount of distributions will be determined by our board of directors, in its discretion, and may vary from time to time. Our board of directors’ discretion will be influenced in substantial part by its obligation to cause us to comply with the REIT requirements of the Code. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to pay distributions on our shares of common stock.

Our board of directors has adopted a policy to refrain from funding distributions with offering proceeds; instead, we plan to fund distributions from cash flows from operations and capital transactions (other than the Public Offering or other securities offerings, but which may include the sale of one or more assets). However, our charter does not restrict us from paying distributions from any particular source, including proceeds from securities offerings, and our board of directors has the ability to change our policy of only paying distributions from cash flows from operations or capital transactions (other than the Public Offering or other securities offerings, but which may include the sale of one or more assets). However, in accordance with Maryland law, we may not make distributions that would: (1) cause us to be unable to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or (2) cause our total assets to be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus, unless our charter provides otherwise, senior liquidation preferences.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our charter currently provides that amounts that would be needed, if we were to dissolve at the time of such distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of holders of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares shall not be added to our total liabilities for these purposes. Subject to the preceding, our board of directors will determine the amount of distributions we will pay to our stockholders. We have not established a minimum distribution level. As a result of the potential impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on our business, we expect that the board of directors will reconsider our current distribution policy and may take further action with respect to distributions for our common stock, and could consider eliminating, suspending, or significantly reducing the payment of distributions until more information regarding the effect of the virus and its duration is available. We intend to pay quarterly distributions with respect to the quarter ended March 31, 2020 with operating cash flow, consistent with prior distributions. Our board of directors will make determinations as to the payment of future distributions on a quarter by quarter basis; however, distributions will continue to accrue pursuant to our charter.

Conflicts of Interest

PHA will experience potential conflicts of interest in connection with the management of our business affairs, including the following:

through a facilities, personnel, equipment, and cost sharing agreement between PHA and Sponsor (which we refer to as a cost sharing agreement), PHA utilizes employees from affiliated entities, including our Sponsor, in connection with various services, such as acquisitions, asset management, human resources, accounting, tax, valuation, information technology services, office space, employees, compliance, and legal;

PHA shares personnel with its affiliates, and such personnel must determine which investment opportunities to recommend to us or another program or joint venture managed by PHA or an affiliate, and must determine how to allocate resources among us and any other future programs or investments managed by PHA or its affiliates;

PHA, our property manager, their affiliates, and their employees share resources and allocate their time between us and the other real estate investment projects and business activities in which they may be involved;

PHA may structure the terms of joint ventures between us and programs sponsored by our Sponsor’s affiliates;

PHA and its affiliates will have to allocate their time between us and other real estate programs and activities in which they are involved;

PHA and its affiliates receive fees in connection with the purchase, management, and sale of our properties, regardless of the quality of the property acquired or the services provided to us;

due to the apparent preference of public markets for internally managed companies, a decision to list our shares on a national securities exchange could be preceded by a decision to become internally managed. Given PHA’s familiarity with our assets and operations, we could prefer to become internally managed by acquiring PHA. Even though PHA will not receive internalization fees, such an internalization transaction could result in significant payments to affiliates of PHA irrespective of whether our stockholders received the returns on which we have conditioned other back-end compensation, and we would not be required to seek a stockholder vote to become internally managed; and

all of our officers will face these conflicts because of their affiliation with PHA.

Regulations

Our investments are subject to various federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations, including, among other things, zoning regulations, land use controls, environmental controls relating to air and water quality, noise pollution, and indirect environmental impacts such as increased motor vehicle activity. We believe that we have all permits and approvals necessary under current law to operate our investments.

TABLE OF CONTENTS​

Seasonality

The hotel industry historically has been seasonal in nature. Seasonal variations in occupancy at our hotel properties, and other hotel properties we may acquire, may cause quarterly fluctuations in our revenues. Specifically, business class hotels tend to draw lower occupancy rates during holidays, as there is less business travel on such dates. To the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient during any quarter, due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenue, we expect to utilize cash on hand or, if necessary, any available other financing sources to make distributions.

Employees

We have no paid employees. The employees of PHA or its affiliates provide management, acquisition, advisory and certain administrative services for us. Pursuant to our advisory agreement with PHA, we will reimburse PHA for costs incurred in providing these administrative services. PHA will be required to allocate the cost of such services to us based on objective factors such as total assets, revenues and/or time allocations. At least annually, our board of directors will review the amount of administrative services expense reimbursable to PHA to determine whether such amounts are reasonable in relation to the services provided. As of December 31, 2019, PHA has forfeited its right to collect reimbursement for providing these administrative services provided through such date.

Financial Information About Industry Segments

Our current business consists of owning, managing, operating, leasing, acquiring, developing, investing in, and disposing of real estate assets. We internally evaluate all of our real estate assets as one industry segment, and, accordingly, we do not report segment information.

Environmental Matters

All real properties and the operations conducted on real properties are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety. In connection with ownership and operation of real estate, we may be potentially liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. We intend to take commercially reasonable steps to protect ourselves from the impact of these laws, including obtaining environmental assessments of all properties that we acquire. We also carry environmental liability insurance on our properties, which provides coverage for pollution liability for third-party bodily injury and property damage claims.

Available Information

We are subject to the reporting and information requirements of the Exchange Act and, accordingly, we file Annual Reports, Quarterly Reports, and other information with the SEC. Access to copies of our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other filings with the SEC, including amendments to such filing, may be obtained free of charge from our website, https://www.prochotelreit.com. These filings are available promptly after we file them with, or furnish them to, the SEC. We are not incorporating our website or any information from the website into this Annual Report. The SEC also maintains a website, http://www.sec.gov, that contains our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K and other filings with the SEC. Access to these filings is free of charge.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

The factors described below represent our principal risks. Other factors may exist that we do not consider to be significant based on information that is currently available or that we are not currently able to anticipate.

Risks Relating to an Investment in Us

No public market currently exists for our securities, and we have no current plans to list our shares on an exchange. If you are able to sell your securities, you would likely have to sell them at a substantial discount from the offering price.

There is no current public market for our securities, and we currently have no plans to list any of the securities we are offering on a national securities exchange or to liquidate our assets by a specified date. You

TABLE OF CONTENTS

may not sell your securities unless the buyer meets the applicable suitability and minimum purchase standards. Any sale of your shares must also comply with applicable securities laws. Our charter also contains a limitation on ownership that prohibits any person or entity from actually, constructively, or beneficially acquiring or owning more than 9.8% in value of the aggregate of the outstanding shares of our capital stock (which includes K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares), or more than 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the aggregate of the outstanding shares of any class or series of shares of our stock, unless exempted, prospectively or retroactively, by our board of directors. Our board of directors may waive this ownership limit with respect to a particular person if the board receives certain representations and warranties as required by our charter. This provision may inhibit large investors from purchasing your shares. Moreover, our share repurchase program includes numerous restrictions that limit your ability to sell your K Shares, K-I Shares or K-T Shares to us, and our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate our share repurchase program upon 30 days’ notice. Therefore, it will be difficult for you to sell your shares promptly or at all. If you are able to sell your shares, you will likely have to sell them at a substantial discount from the price at which you purchased them from us. It is also likely that your shares will not be accepted as the primary collateral for a loan. You should purchase our shares only as a long-term investment because of their illiquid nature.

We may be unable to pay or maintain cash distributions or increase distributions over time.

There are many factors that can affect the availability and timing of cash distributions to stockholders. Distributions will be based principally on cash available from our operations. The amount of cash available for distribution is affected by many factors, such as our ability to acquire commercial real estate assets as offering proceeds become available, income from such investments, and our operating expense levels, as well as many other variables. Actual cash available for distribution may vary substantially from estimates. With our limited operating history, we cannot assure you that we will be able to pay or maintain a level of distributions or that distributions will increase over time. We cannot give any assurance that returns from the investments that we acquire will increase, that the securities we buy will increase in value or provide constant or increased distributions over time, or that future acquisitions of commercial real estate will increase our cash available for distribution to stockholders. Our actual results may differ significantly from the assumptions used by our board of directors in establishing the distribution rate to stockholders. We may not have sufficient cash from operations to make a distribution required to qualify for or maintain our REIT status, which may materially adversely affect your investment.

We have a limited operating history, which makes our future performance and the performance of your investment difficult to predict.

We were organized on August 24, 2016. We have limited operations. Our lack of operating history significantly increases the risk and uncertainty you face in investing in our shares.

Purchases of shares of stock by our directors, our officers, officers and employees of our advisor or TPG, other affiliates, and individuals designated by management in our offering should not influence investment decisions of independent, unaffiliated investors.

Our directors, officers and employees of our advisor, TPG and other affiliates and individuals designated by management may purchase K Shares and K-I Shares in the offering. Management may designate individuals who have prior business and/or personal relationships with our executive officers, directors, advisor, or sponsor, including, without limitation, any service provider, to purchase our K-I Shares and K Shares and to receive certain discounts. There can be no assurance as to the amount, if any, of K Shares and K-I Shares that these parties may acquire in the offering. Any shares purchased by directors, officers, and employees of our dealer manager, other affiliates or friends of ours will be purchased for investment purposes only. However, the investment decisions made by any such directors, officers, officers and employees of our advisor or TPG, other affiliates, or friends should not influence your decision to invest in our shares of common stock and you should make your own independent investment decision concerning the risks and benefits of an investment in our securities.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If we are unable to find suitable investments, we may not be able to achieve our investment objectives or pay distributions.

We will be competing to acquire real estate investments with other REITs, real estate limited partnerships, pension funds and their advisors, bank and insurance company investment accounts and other entities. Many of our competitors have greater financial resources and a greater ability to borrow funds to acquire properties than we do. We cannot be sure that our advisor will be successful in obtaining suitable investments on financially attractive terms or that, if our advisor makes investments on our behalf, our objectives will be achieved. The more money we raise in our offering, the greater will be our challenge to invest all of the net offering proceeds on attractive terms. Therefore, the size of our offering increases the risk that we may pay too much for real estate acquisitions. If we, through our advisor, are unable to find suitable investments promptly, we will hold the proceeds from the K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares in our offering in an interest-bearing account or invest the proceeds in short-term, investment-grade investments and may, ultimately, liquidate. We expect we will earn yields substantially lower than the income that we anticipate receiving from investments in the future that meet our investment objectives. As a result, any distributions we make while our portfolio is not fully invested in properties meeting our investment objectives may be substantially lower than the distributions that we expect to pay when our portfolio is fully invested in properties meeting our investment objectives. In the event we are unable to timely locate suitable investments, we may be unable or limited in our ability to pay distributions.

If we raise substantial offering proceeds in a short period of time, we may not be able to invest all of the net offering proceeds promptly, which may cause our distributions and the long-term returns to our investors to be lower than they otherwise might be.

We could suffer from delays in locating suitable investments. The more money we raise in our offering, the more difficult it will be to invest the net offering proceeds promptly. Therefore, the size of our offering increases the risk of delays in investing our net offering proceeds. Our reliance on our advisor to locate suitable investments for us at times when the management of our advisor is simultaneously seeking to locate suitable investments for other investment programs sponsored by our advisor’s affiliates could also delay the investment of the proceeds of our offering. Delays we encounter in the selection and acquisition of income-producing properties would likely limit our ability to pay distributions to you and reduce your overall returns.

The personnel of our advisor do not have significant experience in operating under the constraints imposed on us as a REIT, which may hinder the achievement of our investment objectives.

The Code imposes numerous constraints on the operations of REITs that do not apply to many of the other investment vehicles managed by our sponsor, our advisor and their affiliates. Our qualification as a REIT will depend upon our ability to meet requirements regarding our organization and ownership, distributions of our income, the nature and diversification of our income and assets and other tests imposed by the Code. Any failure to so comply could cause us to fail to satisfy the requirements associated with REIT status. The personnel of our advisor do not have significant experience operating under these constraints, which may hinder our ability to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities and to achieve our investment objectives. As a result, we cannot assure you that our advisor will be able to operate our business under these constraints. If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year after electing REIT status, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at corporate rates. In addition, we would generally be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year of losing our REIT status. Losing our REIT status would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to stockholders because of the additional tax liability. In addition, distributions to stockholders would no longer qualify for the dividends-paid deduction, and we would no longer be required to make distributions. If this occurs, we might be required to borrow funds or liquidate some investments in order to pay the applicable tax.

We depend upon key personnel of Procaccianti Companies, Inc. (our Sponsor), Procaccianti Hotel Advisors, LLC (our advisor), and TPG Hotels and Resorts, Inc. and its affiliates and/or designees (our property manager).

We are an externally managed REIT and therefore we do not have any internal management capacity or employees. We will depend to a significant degree on the diligence, skill and network of business contacts

10


TABLE OF CONTENTS

of certain of our executive officers and other key personnel of our advisor to achieve our investment objectives, including Messrs. Procaccianti, Vickowski, Bacon and Leven and Ms. Procaccianti, all of whom would be difficult to replace. We expect that our advisor will evaluate, negotiate, structure, close and monitor our investments in accordance with the terms of the advisory agreement. We also will depend on our property manager for hotel property management and construction services.

We depend upon the senior professionals of our advisor and our property manager to maintain relationships with potential investments, and we intend to rely upon these relationships to provide us with potential investment opportunities. We do not intend to purchase “key person” insurance coverage with respect to key personnel and the key personnel of our advisor or property manager. We cannot assure you that these relationships will yield attractive investment opportunities. If these individuals do not maintain their existing relationships with our advisor or property manager or maintain existing relationships or develop new relationships with other sources of investment opportunities, we may not be able to grow our investment portfolio. In addition, individuals with whom the senior professionals of our advisor and our property manager have relationships are not obligated to provide us with investment opportunities. Therefore, we can offer no assurance that such relationships will generate investment opportunities for us.

Our advisor is an affiliate of, and under common control with, Procaccianti Companies and will, in turn, depend upon access to the investment professionals and other resources of Procaccianti Companies and its affiliates to fulfill its obligations to us under the advisory agreement. Our advisor will also depend on Procaccianti Companies to obtain access to deal flow generated by its professionals. We believe that our future success depends, in a large part, on Procaccianti Companies’ ability to hire and retain highly skilled managerial, operational and marketing personnel. Competition to retain such personnel is intense, and we cannot assure you that Procaccianti Companies will be successful. Through a cost sharing agreement between our advisor and the sponsor, our advisor may utilize employees from affiliated entities, including Procaccianti Companies, in connection with various services such as human resources, accounting, tax, valuation, information technology services, office space, employees, compliance, and legal. Under this cost sharing agreement, these costs are allocated to our advisor based on a per employee charge that is assigned to provide services to it. To the extent an employee is not fully allocated to our advisor, the charge for services is pro-rated accordingly. Procaccianti Companies and our advisor or its affiliates pay all of the employees assigned to provide services to our advisor. We cannot assure you that Procaccianti Companies and its affiliates will fulfill their obligations under this agreement with our advisor. If Procaccianti Companies and its affiliates fail to perform, we cannot assure you that our advisor will enforce the cost sharing agreement, that such agreement will not be terminated by either party, or that we will continue to have access to the investment professionals of Procaccianti Companies and its affiliates, or their market knowledge and deal flow.

Because we are prohibited from operating hotel properties pursuant to certain tax laws relating to our qualification as a REIT, the entities through which we own the hotel properties will lease the hotel properties to one or more TRSs. We expect all or substantially all of these subsidiaries will enter into property management agreements with one or more affiliated property management companies. These affiliated property management companies may include TPG Hotels & Resorts, Inc., an affiliate of our sponsor and advisor, and TPG’s wholly owned subsidiaries, which we collectively refer to as TPG, or other affiliates and/or designees of TPG. We refer to TPG and such other affiliates and/or designees collectively as our property manager. If we acquire hotel property where we cannot use our property manager to manage the property, we may use a third-party property management company. Generally, however, we expect a substantial portion, if not all, of our hotel properties to be managed by our property manager.

If our advisor is unable to manage our investments effectively, we may be unable to achieve our investment objectives.

Our ability to achieve our investment objectives will depend on our ability to manage our business and to grow our business. This will depend, in turn, on our advisor’s ability to identify, invest in and monitor properties that meet our investment criteria. The achievement of our investment objectives on a cost-effective basis will depend upon our advisor’s execution of our investment process, its ability to provide competent, attentive and efficient services to us and our access to financing on acceptable terms. Our advisor has substantial responsibilities under the advisory agreement. The personnel of our advisor are engaged in

11


TABLE OF CONTENTS

other business activities that could distract them and divert their time and attention such that they can no longer dedicate a significant portion of their time to our business or such that they might otherwise slow our rate of investment. Any failure to manage our business and our future growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We may not replicate the historical results achieved by other entities managed or sponsored by affiliates of our advisor, members of our advisor’s investment committee or by Procaccianti Companies or its affiliates.

Our primary focus of acquiring and investing in a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate consisting primarily of hospitality properties across the United States differs from that of certain existing investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles that are or have been managed by affiliates of our advisor or members of our advisor’s investment committee or that are or have been sponsored by Procaccianti Companies or its affiliates. In addition, many of the previously sponsored investment programs by Procaccianti Companies were significantly different from us in terms of targeted assets, regulatory structure and limitations, investment strategy and objectives and investment personnel. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results, and there can be no assurance that we will achieve comparable results of those Procaccianti Companies affiliates. In addition, investors in our K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares are not acquiring an interest in any such investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles that are or have been managed by affiliates of our advisor or members of our advisor’s investment committee or sponsored by Procaccianti Companies or its affiliates. We also cannot assure you that we will replicate the historical results achieved by members of the investment committee, and we caution you that our investment returns could be substantially lower than the returns achieved by them in prior periods. Additionally, all or a portion of the prior results may have been achieved in particular market conditions that may never be repeated.

Because we are conducting a “blind pool” offering, you will not have the opportunity to evaluate our investments before we make them, which makes an investment in us more speculative.

We have not identified all of the properties we will acquire with the net proceeds from the sale of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares in our offering. Our ability to identify well-performing properties and achieve our investment objectives depends upon the performance of our advisor in the acquisition of our investments and the determination of any financing arrangements. The size of our offering increases the challenges that our advisor will face in investing our net offering proceeds promptly in attractive properties, and the continuing high demand for the type of properties we desire to purchase increases the risk that we may pay too much for the properties that we do purchase. We will seek to invest substantially all of the net proceeds from our K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares, after the payment of certain fees and expenses, in a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate investments consisting primarily of hotel properties across the United States in accordance with our investment objectives and using the strategies described in this Annual Report. However, you will be unable to evaluate the economic merit of specific real estate projects before we invest in them. We expect to rely entirely on the ability of our advisor to select suitable and successful investment opportunities. We will not provide you with information to evaluate our proposed investments prior to our acquisition of those investments. Because of the illiquid nature of our shares, even if we disclose information about our potential investments before we make them, it will be difficult for you to sell your shares promptly or at all. Furthermore, our board of directors will have broad discretion in implementing investment policies. These factors increase the risk that your investment may not generate returns consistent with your expectations.

Distributions paid from sources other than our cash flows from operations, particularly from proceeds of our offering, will result in us having fewer funds available for the acquisition of properties and other real estate-related investments and may dilute your interests in us, which may adversely affect our ability to fund future distributions with cash flows from operations and may adversely affect your overall return.

We have paid, and may continue to pay, distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations. Distributions declared for periods in which we did not own an interest in the two select-service properties described herein were funded with proceeds from subordinated promissory notes that we entered into with our advisor. While our board has adopted a policy to refrain from funding distributions with offering proceeds, our charter contains no such limitation and our board of directors may change our distribution policy in its sole discretion at any time subject to the provisions of Maryland law. Under

12


TABLE OF CONTENTS

Maryland law, we may not make distributions that would: (1) cause us to be unable to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or (2) cause our total assets to be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus senior liquidation preferences, if any. Our charter currently provides that amounts that would be needed, if we were to dissolve at the time of such distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of holders of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares shall not be added to our total liabilities for these purposes.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, we paid aggregate distributions of  $1,104,017, including $1,042,690 of distributions paid in cash and 6,456 shares of our common stock issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan for $61,327. For the year ended December 31, 2019, our net income was $102,952, we had FFO of  $1,672,661 and net cash provided by operations of  $3,108,133. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we funded $1,104,017, or 100%, and $0 or 0% of total distributions paid, including shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, from cash flow from operations and notes payable, respectively. Since inception, of the $1,631,573 in total distributions paid through December 31, 2019, including shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, we funded $1,537,379 or 94% from cash flow from operations and $94,194 or 6% from notes payable. For information on how we calculate FFO and the reconciliation of FFO to net loss, see Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations.”

If we fund distributions from the proceeds of our offering, we will have less funds available for acquiring properties or other real estate-related investments. As a result, the return you realize on your investment may be reduced. Funding distributions from borrowings could restrict the amount we can borrow for investments, which may affect our profitability. Funding distributions with the sale of assets or the proceeds of our offering may affect our ability to generate cash flows. Funding distributions from the sale of additional securities could dilute your interest in us if we sell our shares of common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into our shares of common stock to third-party investors. Payment of distributions from the mentioned sources could restrict our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, affect our profitability, or affect the distributions payable to you upon a liquidity event, any or all of which may have an adverse effect on your investment.

Our advisor can resign on 60 days’ notice from its role as advisor, and we may not be able to find a suitable replacement within that time, resulting in a disruption in our operations that could adversely affect our financial condition, business, and results of operations and cash flows.

Our advisor has the right, under the advisory agreement, to resign at any time upon not less than 60 days’ written notice, whether we have found a replacement or not. If our advisor resigns, we may not be able to find a new advisor or hire internal management with similar expertise and ability to provide the same or equivalent services on acceptable terms within 60 days, or at all. If we are unable to do so quickly, our operations are likely to experience a disruption, and our financial condition, business and results of operations, as well as our ability to pay distributions, are likely to be adversely affected. In addition, the coordination of our management and investment activities is likely to suffer if we are unable to identify and reach an agreement with a single institution or group of executives having the expertise possessed by our advisor and its affiliates. Even if we are able to retain comparable management, the integration of such management and its lack of familiarity with our investment objectives may result in additional costs and time delays that may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We will incur significant costs as a result of being a public company.

As a public company, we will be required to register our securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and we will incur legal, accounting and other expenses, including costs associated with the periodic reporting requirements applicable to a company whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act, as well as additional corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and other rules implemented by the SEC.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We depend on information systems, and systems failures could significantly disrupt our business, which may, in turn, negatively affect our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

Our business depends on the communications and information systems of Procaccianti Companies, to which we have access through our advisor. In addition, certain of these systems are provided to Procaccianti Companies by third-party service providers. Any failure or interruption of such systems, including as a result of the termination of an agreement with any such third-party service provider, could cause delays or other problems in our activities. This, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and negatively affect our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

Cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents may adversely affect our business by causing a disruption to our operations, a compromise or corruption of our confidential information, and/or damage to our business relationships, all of which could negatively impact our financial results.

A cyber incident is considered to be any adverse event that threatens the confidentiality, integrity or availability of our information resources. These incidents may be an intentional attack or an unintentional event and could involve gaining unauthorized access to our information systems for purposes of misappropriating assets, stealing confidential information, corrupting data or causing operational disruption. The result of these incidents may include disrupted operations, misstated or unreliable financial data, liability for stolen assets or information, increased cybersecurity protection and insurance costs, litigation and damage to our tenant and investor relationships. As our reliance on technology has increased, so have the risks posed to our information systems, both internal to our advisor and its affiliates and those that have been outsourced. There is no guarantee that any processes, procedures and internal controls our advisor implements will prevent cyber intrusions, which could have a negative impact on our financial results, operations, business relationships or confidential information.

Our rights and the rights of our stockholders to recover claims against our directors are limited, which could reduce your and our recovery against them if they negligently cause us to incur losses.

Maryland law provides that a director has no liability in that capacity if he or she performs his or her duties in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in our best interests and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. Our charter provides that no director generally shall be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages and that we generally will indemnify them for losses unless, in the case of an independent director, such director is grossly negligent or engages in willful misconduct or, in the case of our directors who are also our executive officers or affiliates of our advisor, unless such directors are negligent or grossly negligent or engage in willful misconduct. As a result, you and we may have more limited rights against our directors than might otherwise exist under common law, which could reduce your and our recovery from these persons if they act in a negligent manner. In addition, we may be obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by our independent directors (as well as by our other directors, officers, employees and agents) in some cases, which would decrease the cash otherwise available for distributions to you.

Risks Related to Our Offering and Our Corporate Structure

We intend to disclose funds from operations and modified funds from operations, each a non-GAAP financial measure, in future communications with investors, including documents filed with the SEC; however, funds from operations and modified funds from operations are not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and you should consider GAAP measures to be more relevant to our operating performance.

We will use, and we intend to disclose to investors, funds from operations, or FFO, and modified funds from operations, or MFFO, which are non-GAAP financial measures. FFO and MFFO are not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined in accordance with GAAP, and investors should consider GAAP measures to be more relevant in evaluating our operating performance. FFO and MFFO, on the one hand, and GAAP net income or loss, on the other hand, differ because FFO and MFFO exclude gains or losses from sales of property and asset impairment write-downs, and add back depreciation and amortization and adjust for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. MFFO further excludes acquisition-related

14


TABLE OF CONTENTS

expenses, amortization of above- and below-market leases, fair value adjustments of derivative financial instruments, deferred rent receivables and the adjustments of such items related to non-controlling interests.

Because of the differences between FFO and MFFO and GAAP net income or loss, FFO and MFFO may not be accurate indicators of our operating performance, especially during periods in which we are acquiring properties. In addition, FFO and MFFO are not indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and investors should not consider FFO and MFFO as alternatives to cash flows from operations or an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Neither the SEC nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO and MFFO. Also, because not all companies calculate FFO and MFFO the same way, comparisons with other companies may not be meaningful.

No investor may own more than 9.8% of our stock unless exempted by our board of directors, which may discourage a takeover that could otherwise result in a premium price to our stockholders.

Our charter, with certain exceptions, authorizes our directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to preserve our qualification as a REIT. There is a limitation on ownership that prohibits any person or entity from actually, constructively or beneficially acquiring or owning more than 9.8% in value of the aggregate of the outstanding shares of our capital stock (which includes K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares), or more than 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the aggregate of the outstanding shares of any class or series of shares of our stock, unless exempted, prospectively or retroactively, by our board of directors. Our board of directors may waive this ownership limit with respect to a particular person if the board receives certain representations and warranties as required by our charter. This restriction may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price for holders of our capital stock.

Our charter permits our board of directors to issue stock with terms that may subordinate the rights of our holders of K-I Shares, K-T Shares, K Shares, B Shares, and A Shares or discourage a third party from acquiring us in a manner that could result in a premium price to our stockholders.

Our board of directors may classify or reclassify any unissued K-I Shares, K-T Shares, K Shares, B Shares, or A Shares into other classes or series of stock and establish the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption of any such stock. Thus, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a new class of capital stock with terms and conditions that could have priority as to distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation over the rights of the holders of our existing K-I Shares, K-T Shares, K Shares, B Shares, and A Shares. Such new class of stock could also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price to holders of our existing capital stock.

We may grant stock-based awards to our directors, employees and consultants pursuant to a long-term incentive plan, which will have a dilutive effect on your investment in us.

Our board of directors intends to adopt a long-term incentive plan, pursuant to which we will be authorized to grant restricted stock, stock options, restricted or deferred stock units, performance awards or other stock-based awards to directors, employees and consultants selected by our board of directors for participation in the plan. We currently intend to issue awards of restricted K Shares to our independent directors under our long-term incentive plan. Our executive officers, as key personnel of our advisor, also may be entitled to receive awards in the future under our long-term incentive plan. If we issue additional stock-based awards to eligible participants under our long-term incentive plan, the issuance of these stock-based awards will dilute your investment in our shares of capital stock purchased in our offering.

Certain expected features of the long-term incentive plan could have a dilutive effect on your investment in us, including (1) a lack of annual award limits, individually or in the aggregate (subject to the limit on the maximum number of shares which may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the plan), (2) the fact that the limit on the maximum number of shares which may be issued pursuant to awards

15


TABLE OF CONTENTS

granted under the plan will not be tied to the amount of proceeds raised in the offering, and (3) share counting procedures which we expect will provide that shares subject to certain awards, including, without limitation, substitute awards granted by us to employees of another entity in connection with our merger or consolidation with such company or shares subject to outstanding awards of another company assumed by us in connection with our merger or consolidation with such company, will not be subject to the limit on the maximum number of shares which may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the plan.

You will have limited control over changes in our policies and operations, which increases the uncertainty and risks you face as a stockholder.

Our board of directors determines our major policies, including our policies regarding financing, growth, debt capitalization, REIT qualification and distributions. Our board of directors may amend or revise these and other policies without your vote except to the extent that such policies are set forth in our charter. Our board’s broad discretion in setting policies and your inability to exert control over those policies increases the uncertainty and risks you face as a stockholder.

Under the Maryland General Corporation Law and our charter, our stockholders are generally entitled to vote only on the following matters: (a) election and removal of directors; (b) amendment of the charter, except that our board of directors may amend our charter without stockholder approval to (i) increase or decrease the aggregate number of our shares or the number of shares of any class or series that we have the authority to issue, (ii) effect certain reverse stock splits, and (iii) change our name or the name or other designation or the par value of any class or series of our stock and the aggregate par value of our stock; (c) effect our liquidation or dissolution; and (d) to the extent required under Maryland law, effect a merger, conversion or consolidation of us, a statutory share exchange, or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets. With respect to all matters, other than the election or removal of directors, our board of directors must first adopt a resolution declaring that a proposed action is advisable and direct that such matter be submitted to our stockholders for approval or ratification. These limitations on voting rights may limit your ability to influence decisions regarding our business. Holders of our K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and A Shares will have identical voting rights.

We may change our targeted investments without stockholder consent.

We expect our portfolio of investments in commercial real estate to consist primarily of hospitality properties. Though this is our current target portfolio, we may make adjustments to our target portfolio based on real estate market conditions and investment opportunities, and we may change our targeted investments and investment guidelines at any time without the consent of our stockholders. Any such change could result in our making investments that are different from, and possibly riskier than, the investments described in this Annual Report. Our charter requires that our independent directors review our investment policies at least annually to determine that the policies we are following are in the best interests of our stockholders. These policies may change over time. A change in our targeted investments or investment guidelines, which may occur without your consent, may increase our exposure to interest rate risk, default risk and real estate market fluctuations, all of which could adversely affect our ability to make distributions to you and the value of the securities we are offering through our prospectus.

You may not be able to have your K-I Shares, K Shares or K-T Shares repurchased under the share repurchase program; if you are able to have your K-I Shares, K Shares or K-T Shares repurchased under the share repurchase program, you may not be able to recover the amount of your investment.

Our board of directors has adopted a share repurchase program available to holders of our K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares, but there are significant conditions and limitations that limit your ability to have your K-I Shares, K Shares or K-T Shares repurchased under the plan. Repurchases of our K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares, when requested, are at our sole discretion and generally will be made quarterly. A holder of K Shares, K-I Shares or K-T Shares, as applicable, must have beneficially held its shares for at least one year prior to offering them for sale to us through our share repurchase program, unless the K Shares, K-I Shares or K-T Shares, as applicable, are being repurchased in connection with a stockholder’s death, qualifying disability or other exigent circumstance as determined by our board of directors in its sole discretion.

16


TABLE OF CONTENTS

The per share repurchase price will depend on the length of time you have held such shares as follows:

after one year from the purchase date, 92.5% of the most recent per share net asset value of the K Shares, K-I Shares or K-T Shares, as applicable;

after two years from the purchase date, 95% of the most recent per share net asset value of the K Shares, K-I Shares or K-T Shares, as applicable;

after three years from the purchase date, 97.5% of the most recent per share net asset value of the K Shares, K-I Shares or K-T Shares, as applicable; and

after four years from the purchase date, 100% of the most recent per share net asset value of the K Shares, K-I Shares or K-T Shares, as applicable.

Our repurchase of any K-I Shares, K Shares or K-T Shares will be limited to the extent that we do not have, as determined in our board of director’s discretion, sufficient funds available to fund any such repurchase.

We are not obligated to repurchase shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program. We will limit the number of shares repurchased pursuant to our share repurchase program as follows: (1) we will not repurchase in excess of 5.0% of the weighted average number of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares outstanding during the trailing 12 months prior to the end of the fiscal quarter for which repurchases are being paid (provided, however, that while shares subject to a repurchase requested upon the death of a stockholder will be included in calculating the maximum number of shares that may be repurchased, shares subject to a repurchase requested upon the death of a stockholder will not be subject to the percentage cap); and (2) funding for the repurchase of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares will be limited to net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares under our DRIP and any other operating funds that may be authorized by our board of directors, in its sole discretion.

Additionally, in the event that any stockholder fails to maintain a minimum balance of  $2,000 of K-I Shares, K Shares or K-T Shares, we may repurchase all of the shares held by that stockholder at the NAV repurchase price in effect on the date we determine that the stockholder has failed to meet the minimum balance, less any applicable repurchase discount.

Most of our assets will consist of properties which cannot be readily liquidated without affecting our ability to realize full value upon their disposition. Therefore, we may not have sufficient liquid resources to satisfy all repurchase requests. The share repurchase program will terminate immediately if our K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares or any successor securities, are listed on any national securities exchange. In addition, our board of directors may amend, suspend (in whole or in part) or terminate the share repurchase program at any time upon 30 days’ notice. Further, our board of directors reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject any requests for repurchases.

The provisions of our share repurchase program may limit your ability to have your shares repurchased should you require liquidity and could limit your ability to recover the amount that you invested in our K-I Shares, K Shares or K-T Shares. The terms of our share repurchase program contain fewer limitations for repurchases sought as a result of a stockholder’s death, qualifying disability or other involuntary exigent circumstance, in the sole discretion of the board of directors.

On March 20, 2020, our board of directors decided to temporarily suspend repurchases under our share repurchase program effective with repurchase requests that would otherwise be processed in April 2020 due to the negative impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the Company’s portfolio to date. However, we will continue to process repurchases due to death in accordance with the terms of our share repurchase program. We will announce any updates concerning its share repurchase program in a Current Report on Form 8-K. Any unprocessed requests will automatically roll over to be considered for repurchase when we fully reopens our share repurchase program, unless a stockholder withdraws the request for repurchase five business days prior to the next repurchase date.

Risks Related to Our Offering

The estimated NAV per K-I Share, K Share and K-T Share are estimates as of a given point in time and likely will not represent the amount of net proceeds that would result if we were liquidated or dissolved or completed a merger or other sale of the company.

The estimated NAV per share and any subsequent values are likely to differ from the price at which a stockholder could resell such shares because: (1) there is no public trading market for our shares at this time; (2) the price does not reflect, and will not reflect, the fair value of our assets as we acquire them, nor does it represent the amount of net proceeds that would result from an immediate liquidation of our assets or sale of the Company, because the amount of proceeds available for investment from our offering is net of acquisition fees and expenses; (3) the estimated NAV per share does not take into account how market fluctuations affect the value of our investments, including how the current conditions in the financial and real estate markets may affect the value of our investments; (4) the estimated NAV per share does not take into account how developments related to individual assets may increase or decrease the value of our portfolio; and (5) the estimated NAV per share does not take into account any premiums to value that may be achieved in a liquidation or sale of our assets. Further, the value of our shares will fluctuate over time as a result of, among other things, developments related to individual assets we may acquire and responses to the real estate and capital markets. The estimated NAV per share does not reflect a discount for the fact that we are externally managed. There are currently no SEC, federal and state rules that establish requirements specifying the methodology to employ in determining an estimated NAV per share; provided, however, that pursuant to FINRA rules, the determination of the estimated NAV per share must be conducted by, or with the material assistance or confirmation of, a third-party valuation expert and must be derived from a methodology that conforms to standard industry practice. Subsequent estimates of our estimated NAV per share will be done at least annually. Our estimated NAV per share is an estimate as of a given point in time and likely does not represent the amount of net proceeds that would result from an immediate sale of our assets.

Our estimated NAV per share is based upon a number of estimates, assumptions, judgments and opinions that may not be, or may later prove not to be, accurate or complete, which could make the estimated valuations incorrect. As a result, our estimated NAV per share may not reflect the amount that you might receive for your shares in a market transaction, and the purchase price you pay may be higher than the value of our assets per share of common stock at the time of your purchase.

Currently, there are no SEC, federal or state rules that establish requirements specifying the methodology to employ in determining an estimated NAV per share. The audit committee of our board of directors, pursuant to authority delegated by our board of directors, was responsible for the oversight of the valuation process, including the review and approval of the valuation process and methodology used to determine our estimated NAV per share, the consistency of the valuation methodologies with real estate industry standards and practices and the reasonableness of the assumptions used in the valuations. Pursuant to the prior approval of the audit committee of our board of directors, which is solely comprised of our independent directors, in accordance with the valuation policies previously adopted by our board of directors, we engaged Robert A. Stanger & Co., Inc., or Stanger, an independent third-party valuation firm, to assist with determining the estimated NAV per share. Our estimated NAV per share was determined after consultation with our advisor and Stanger. Stanger prepared a net asset value report or the NAV Report, which estimates the estimated NAV per K-I Share, K Share and K-T Share as of the NAV pricing date. The valuation was based upon the estimated value of our assets less the estimated value of our liabilities divided by the number of shares outstanding on an adjusted fully diluted basis, calculated as of the NAV pricing date, and was performed in accordance with the IPA Valuation Guidelines. The estimated NAV per share was determined by our board of directors. Subsequent estimates of our estimated NAV per K-I Share, K Share and K-T Share will be prepared at least annually. Our estimated NAV per share is an estimate as of a given point in time and likely does not represent the amount of net proceeds that would result from an immediate sale of our assets. The estimated NAV per share is not intended to be related to any values at which individual assets may be carried on financial statements under applicable accounting standards. We do not intend to release any of the data supporting the estimated NAV per share.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

It may be difficult to accurately reflect material events that may impact our estimated NAV per share between valuations, and accordingly we may be selling and repurchasing shares at too high or too low a price.

Our independent third-party valuation expert will calculate estimates of the market value of our principal real estate and real estate-related assets that we acquire, and our board of directors will determine the net value of such real estate and real estate-related assets and liabilities taking into consideration such estimates provided by the independent third-party valuation expert. Our board of directors is ultimately responsible for determining the estimated NAV per share. Since our board of directors will determine our estimated NAV per share at least annually, there may be changes in the value of our properties that are not fully reflected in the most recent estimated NAV per share. As a result, the published estimated NAV per share may not fully reflect changes in value that may have occurred since the prior valuation. Furthermore, our advisor will monitor our portfolio, but it may be difficult to reflect changing market conditions or material events that may impact the value of our portfolio between valuations, or to obtain timely or complete information regarding any such events. Therefore, the estimated NAV per share published before the announcement of an extraordinary event may differ significantly from our actual estimated NAV per share until such time as sufficient information is available and analyzed, the financial impact is fully evaluated, and the appropriate adjustment is made to our estimated NAV per share, as determined by our board of directors. Any resulting disparity may be to the detriment of a purchaser of our shares or a stockholder selling shares pursuant to our share repurchase program.

The most recent estimated NAV per shares were published before the COVID-19 pandemic, and may differ significantly from our actual estimated NAV per share until such time as sufficient information is available and analyzed, the financial impact is fully evaluated, and the appropriate adjustment is made to our estimated NAV per share, as determined by our board of directors. Any resulting disparity may be to the detriment of a purchaser of our shares. We expect to release updated estimated NAV per shares calculated as of March 31, 2020, which may be lower than the current estimated NAV per shares.

Our ability to conduct our offering successfully depends, in part, on the ability of the dealer manager to successfully establish, operate and maintain a network of broker-dealers.

The success of our public offering, and correspondingly our ability to implement our business strategy, is dependent upon the ability of our dealer manager to establish and maintain a network of licensed securities broker-dealers and other agents to sell our securities. While principals of our dealer manager, S2K Financial LLC, have experience in selling securities of other non-traded REITs, S2K Financial LLC is a relatively new wholesale broker-dealer that has not yet conducted any other offerings similar to our offering. The past success of the dealer manager’s principals cannot be relied upon as predictive of the dealer manager’s performance in our offering. There is therefore no assurance that the dealer manager will be able to sell a sufficient number of shares to allow us to have adequate funds to make our investments. If the dealer manager fails to perform, we may not be able to raise adequate proceeds through our public offering to implement our investment strategy. In addition, because we are conducting a “best efforts” offering, we may not raise proceeds in our offering sufficient to meet our investment objectives. If we are unsuccessful in implementing our investment strategy, you could lose all or a part of your investment.

Your interest in us could be diluted if we issue additional shares, which could reduce the overall value of your investment.

Existing stockholders and potential investors in our offering do not have preemptive rights to any shares we issue in the future. Our charter authorizes the issuance of 248,125,000 shares of capital stock, of which (a) 55,500,000 shares are classified as Class K-I Common Stock with a par value of  $0.01 per share, which we refer to as our K-I Shares, (b) 55,500,000 shares are classified as Class K Common Stock with a par value of  $0.01 per share, which we refer to as our K Shares, (c) 116,000,000 shares are classified as Class K-T Common Stock with a par value of  $0.01 per share, which we refer to as our K-T Shares, (d) 125,000 shares are classified as Class B Capital Stock with a par value of  $0.01 per share, which we refer to as our B Shares, and (e) 21,000,000 shares are classified as Class A Common Stock with a par value of  $0.01 per share, which we refer to as our A Shares. Our board of directors may amend the charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares or the number of authorized K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares, A Shares, or shares of any other class or series of stock without stockholder

TABLE OF CONTENTS

approval. After your investment in us, our board may elect to (1) sell additional shares in our offering or future private placements or public offerings; (2) issue shares of capital stock under a long-term incentive plan to our independent directors or to employees of our advisor or its affiliates; (3) issue shares to our advisor, our Service Provider, or their successors or assigns, in payment of an outstanding fee obligation or as consideration in a related-party transaction; or (4) issue K Shares (or another class of securities as determined by our board of directors) to sellers of properties we acquire in connection with an exchange of property for limited partnership interests of our operating partnership. To the extent we issue additional equity interests after your purchase in our offering, your percentage ownership interest in us will be diluted. Further, depending upon the terms of such transactions (most notably the offering price per share, which may be less than the price paid per share in any offering under our prospectus) and the value of our properties, existing stockholders may also experience a dilution in the book value of their investment in us. Investors who purchase shares in our offering will likely suffer dilution of their equity investment in us as a result of the issuance of shares pursuant to the DRIP and the issuance of shares to purchasers who qualify for volume discounts, as DRIP purchases and volume discount purchases represent a discount to the initial purchase price per K Share, K-I Share and K-T Share in our primary offering, as applicable, and we will not sell additional A Shares to our advisor or its affiliates to fund the difference between the initial purchase price and discounted price in connection with such sales as we do for discounts to the initial purchase price of shares that are not through volume discounts and K-I Shares sold in our primary offering (in order for net proceeds available to invest to equal $10.00 per K-I Share, K Share and K-T Share).

The potential return to holders of K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares in our offering would be limited should we return in excess of 9.84% on their investment.

By investing 100% of the proceeds from K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares in assets, we believe we provide holders of K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares with a greater likelihood of preservation of capital and consistent distributions that are not funded with return of capital sources. In exchange for this lower risk, holders of our K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares would be limited in their potential return on investment, as compared to a traditional public non-traded REIT structure, should we return in excess of 9.84% on their investment.

S2K Servicing, LLC (the “Service Provider”) may receive certain distributions as the holder of the B Shares regardless of its performance under the Services Agreement.

The Service Provider, as a holder of B Shares, may be entitled to receive a special distribution with respect to participation in excess cash and remaining liquidation cash equal to 12.5% of such excess cash and 12.5% of such remaining liquidation cash. The Service Provider may be entitled to this special distribution regardless of how well it performs under the Services Agreement.

If we were to become internally managed, we would pay substantial fees to our advisor prior to holders of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares receiving their agreed-upon investment returns. In addition, we will pay substantial fees and expenses to our property manager and their affiliates, and will reimburse our advisor and its affiliates for expenses, which payments increase the risk that you will not earn a profit on your investment.

Pursuant to our agreements with affiliated property managers, we may pay significant property management fees to our property manager and may be obligated to reimburse our property manager for certain expenses it incurs in providing services. We also will be obligated under our advisory agreement with our advisor to reimburse our advisor and its affiliates for expenses they incur in connection with their providing services to us, including certain personnel services.

We may also pay significant fees during our listing/liquidation stage. Although most of the fees payable during our listing/liquidation stage are contingent on holders of K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares first enjoying agreed-upon investment returns, affiliates of our advisor could also receive significant payments even without our reaching specific investment-return thresholds should we seek to become internally managed. Due to the apparent preference of the public markets for internally managed companies, a decision to list our shares on a national securities exchange could be preceded by a decision to become internally managed. Given our advisor’s familiarity with our assets and operations, we might prefer to become internally managed by acquiring our advisor. Even though our advisor will not receive internalization fees, such an

20


TABLE OF CONTENTS

internalization transaction could result in significant payments to affiliates of our advisor irrespective of whether you received the returns on which we have conditioned other back-end compensation, and we would not be required to seek a stockholder vote to become internally managed.

These fees and other potential payments increase the risk that the amount available for distribution to stockholders upon a liquidation of our portfolio would be less than the purchase price of the shares in our offering. Substantial consideration paid to our advisor and its affiliates also increases the risk that you will not be able to resell your shares at a profit, even if our shares are listed on a national securities exchange.

If we internalize our management functions, the percentage of our outstanding capital stock owned by our other stockholders could be reduced, and we could incur other significant costs associated with being self-managed.

In the future, our board of directors may consider internalizing the functions performed for us by our advisor by, among other methods, acquiring our advisor’s assets. The method by which we could internalize these functions could take many forms. There is no assurance that internalizing our management functions would be beneficial to us and our stockholders.

If we elect not to renew the advisory agreement or terminate the advisory agreement without “cause” as defined in the advisory agreement (i.e., other than in connection with a listing of our shares or a transaction involving a merger or acquisition or other than for cause), which we define as a “Non-cause Advisory Agreement Termination,” we would be obligated to make a cash payment to our advisor in the amount of any deferred asset management fees, plus any interest accrued thereon, the full acquisition fees previously earned, plus any interest accrued thereon, and the full disposition fees previously earned, plus any interest accrued thereon, regardless of the value of our assets or our net assets. The Service Provider (an affiliate of our dealer manager) would be entitled to receive 25% of any such payments as a fee pursuant to the Services Agreement. In addition, pursuant to our charter, we would be obligated to repurchase our A Shares for an amount equal to the greater of: (1) any accrued common ordinary distributions on our A Shares plus the stated value of the outstanding A Shares ($10.00 per A Share) or (2) the amount the holders of A Shares would be entitled to receive if we liquidated and received net liquidation proceeds equal to the fair market value (determined by appraisals as of the termination date) of our investments less any loans secured by such investments, limited in the case of non-recourse loans to the value of investments securing such loans. The amounts payable on account of the repurchase of A Shares may be paid, in the discretion of a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, in the form of promissory notes bearing interest at the then-current rate, as determined in good faith by a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors. Any B Shares then outstanding would remain outstanding.

As mentioned above, we could internalize our management function via multiple forms. If we acquire our advisor’s assets, stockholders may be entitled to certain merger consideration, but we are not obligated to repurchase our A Shares.

An acquisition of our advisor could also reduce earnings per share and funds from operation per share.

Additionally, we may not realize the perceived benefits or we may not be able to properly integrate a new staff of managers and employees or we may not be able to effectively replicate the services provided previously by our advisor, property manager or their affiliates. Internalization transactions, including without limitation, transactions involving the acquisition of affiliated advisors or property managers have also, in some cases, been the subject of litigation. Even if these claims are without merit, we could be forced to spend significant amounts of money defending claims which would reduce the amount of funds available for us to invest in properties or other investments and to pay distributions. All of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions.

If we are unable to obtain funding for future capital needs, cash distributions to you and the value of our investments could decline.

We must comply with operating standards and terms and conditions imposed by the franchisors of the hotel properties under which our hotel properties will operate. Hotel properties generally have an ongoing

21


TABLE OF CONTENTS

need for renovations and other capital improvements, including replacements, from time to time, of furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Franchisors of hotel properties will require that we make periodic capital improvements pursuant to our management agreements or as a condition of maintaining franchise licenses. Generally, we will be responsible for the cost of these capital improvements. Hotel renovation involves substantial risks, including:

construction cost overruns and delays;

the disruption of operations and displacement of revenue, including revenue lost while rooms, restaurants or meeting spaces under renovation are out of service;

the cost of funding renovations and an inability to obtain financing on attractive terms;

the return on our investment in these capital improvements;

inability to obtain all necessary zoning, land use, building, occupancy, and construction permits;

possible environmental problems; and

disputes with franchisors or property managers regarding compliance with relevant franchise agreements or management agreements.

We intend to use substantially all of the proceeds of K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares from our offering, net of expenses, to acquire and invest in real estate investments in the United States in accordance with our investment objectives and using the strategies described in this Annual Report. We have not established limits on the use of proceeds of K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares from our offering and, while we do not intend to do so, we may use such proceeds to fund distributions to our stockholders. We do not intend to reserve significant proceeds from our offering for future capital needs. Accordingly, if we need significant capital in the future to improve or maintain our properties or for any other reason, we will have to obtain financing from other sources, such as cash flow from operations, borrowings, property sales or future equity offerings. These sources of funding may not be available on attractive terms or at all. If we cannot procure additional funding for capital improvements, our investments may generate lower cash flows or decline in value, or both, which would limit our ability to make distributions to you and could reduce the value of your investment. However, our board of directors has the authority under our organizational documents, in its sole discretion, to the extent permitted by Maryland law, to fund distributions from other sources, including, without limitation, the sale of assets, borrowings, offering proceeds and the deferral of fee and expense reimbursements by our advisor.

The inability of our advisor to purchase A Shares in an amount sufficient to fund the payment of organizational and offering expenses associated with the sale of K-I Shares, K Shares, and K-T Shares may cause the long-term returns to our investors to be lower than they otherwise might be.

Our advisor agreed to purchase A Shares in a private placement in an amount sufficient to fund the payment of organizational and offering expenses associated with the sale of K-I Shares, K Shares, and K-T Shares. We reviewed the background, financial health, and prior performance of our advisor as well of our sponsor and their affiliates, and while we believe that our advisor and its affiliates, each have respectively, the ability to perform under any agreements obligating them to purchase A Shares, each could fail to make the appropriate purchases. Our advisor and its affiliates’ failure to fulfill their obligations to purchase A Shares in an amount sufficient to fund the payment of organizational and offering expenses associated with the sale of K-I Shares, K Shares, and K-T Shares would adversely affect our ability to fund such organizational and offering expenses and adversely affect your overall return.

Our board of directors has opted out of provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law relating to deterring or defending hostile takeovers. Although we will not currently be afforded this protection, our board of directors could opt into these provisions of Maryland law in the future, which may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and may prevent you from receiving a premium price for their shares in connection with a business combination.

Under Maryland law, “business combinations” between a Maryland corporation and certain interested stockholders, or affiliates of interested stockholders, are prohibited for five years after the most recent date

22


TABLE OF CONTENTS

on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, share exchange, or, in circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. An interested stockholder is defined as:

any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock; or

an affiliate or associate of the corporation who, at any time during the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding securities of the corporation.

After the five-year prohibition, any business combination between a Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder generally must be recommended by the board of directors of the corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:

80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation; and

two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation other than shares held by the interested stockholder with whom or with whose affiliate the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder.

Also, under Maryland law, control shares of a Maryland corporation acquired in a control share acquisition have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of stockholders entitled to cast two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Shares owned by the acquirer, an officer of the corporation or an employee of the corporation who is also a director of the corporation, are excluded from the vote on whether to accord voting rights to the control shares. We have opted out of these provisions of Maryland law, by board resolution in the case of the business combination provisions and in our bylaws in the case of the control share acquisition provisions. However, should our board opt into these provisions of Maryland law, it may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer. Similarly, provisions of Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the Maryland General Corporation Law could provide similar anti-takeover protection.

We are conducting a “best efforts” offering, and if we are unable to raise substantial funds, we will be limited in the number and type of investments we may make, and the value of your investment in us may be reduced in the event our assets underperform.

Our offering is being made on a “best efforts” basis, whereby our dealer manager and broker-dealers participating in the offering are only required to use their best efforts to sell our shares and have no firm commitment or obligation to purchase or sell any specific number or dollar amount of our shares of common stock. To the extent that less than the maximum number of shares is subscribed for, the opportunity for diversification of our investments may be decreased, and the returns achieved on those investments may be reduced as a result of allocating all of our expenses over a smaller capital base.

There is a risk that you may not receive distributions or that our distributions may not grow over time.

We intend to make distributions, initially on a quarterly basis but with the goal of eventually making distributions on a monthly basis, to our stockholders out of assets legally available for distribution. We will pay such quarterly distributions within 30 days of the end of each calendar quarter. We cannot assure you that we will achieve investment results that will allow us to make a specified level of cash distributions or any increases in cash distributions. Furthermore, if more stockholders of K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares opt to receive cash distributions rather than participate in our DRIP, we may be forced to liquidate some of our investments in order to make distribution payments required for us to maintain our qualification as a REIT. All distributions will be paid at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our earnings, our financial condition, maintenance of our REIT status, compliance with applicable regulations and such other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant from time to time. We cannot assure you that we will pay distributions to our stockholders in the future.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Investing in our shares may involve an above average degree of risk and is intended for long-term investors.

The investments we make in accordance with our investment objectives and strategies may result in a higher amount of risk of loss of principal than alternative investment options. Our investments in real estate assets may be highly speculative and aggressive, and therefore, an investment in our shares may not be suitable for someone with lower risk tolerance. In addition, our K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares are intended for long-term investors.

Our stockholders’ investment return may be reduced if we were to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). If we lose our exemption from registration under the 1940 Act, we would not be able to continue its business unless and until we register under the 1940 Act.

We do not intend to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act. As of December 31, 2019, we had controlling interests in 3 hotel properties, and investments in real estate will represent the substantial majority of our total asset mix, which would not subject us to the 1940 Act. In order to maintain an exemption from regulation under the 1940 Act, we must engage primarily in the business of buying real estate.

To maintain compliance with our 1940 Act exemption, we may be unable to sell assets we would otherwise want to sell and may need to sell assets we would otherwise wish to retain. In addition, we may be required to acquire additional income- or loss-generating assets that we might not otherwise acquire or forego opportunities to acquire interests in companies that we would otherwise want to acquire. If we are required to register as an investment company but fail to do so, we would be prohibited from engaging in our business, and criminal and civil actions could be brought against us. In addition, our contracts would be unenforceable unless a court required enforcement, and a court could appoint a receiver to take control of us and liquidate our business.

We are an “emerging growth company” under the federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

In April 2012, President Obama signed into law the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act. We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from, or reduced disclosure obligations relating to, various reporting requirements that are normally applicable to public companies.

We could remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of  (a) the last day of the first fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of   $1,000,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or more, (b) December 31 of the fiscal year that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act (which would occur if the market value of our capital stock registered under the Exchange Act held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million, measured as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and we have been publicly reporting for at least 12 months) or (c) the date on which we have issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies are not required to (1) provide an auditor’s attestation report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (2) comply with certain more stringent audit rules adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (unless the SEC determines otherwise), (3) provide certain disclosures relating to executive compensation generally required for larger public companies or (4) hold stockholder advisory votes on executive compensation. We have not yet made a decision as to whether to take advantage of any or all of the JOBS Act exemptions that would be applicable to us if we became a public reporting company. If we do take advantage of any of these exemptions, we do not know if some investors will find our securities less attractive as a result.

Additionally, the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” may take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies. This means an “emerging growth company” can delay adopting certain accounting standards until such standards are otherwise applicable to private companies. However, we are electing to “opt out” of such extended transition period and will therefore comply with new

24


TABLE OF CONTENTS

or revised accounting standards on the applicable dates on which the adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that any decision to opt out of such extended transition period for compliance with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

Fees and expenses may adversely impact our ability to pay distributions.

Identifying attractive investment opportunities and performing due diligence with respect to prospective investments will require significant expenditures, which we will bear whether or not we acquire the investment. In addition, acquiring investments may require us to participate in auctions or other forms of competitive bids, which may also require significant expenditures, including expenses relating to legal fees, the fees of third-party advisors, and other costs. Moreover, even after investments are made, the returns may not be realized by the stockholders for a period of several years.

Furthermore, affiliates of Procaccianti Companies may perform services for us in connection with the selection and acquisition of investments and the management of our assets. They will be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses, which would be paid in addition to any acquisition fees and asset management fees payable to our advisor. Payment or accrual of fees will result in immediate dilution to the value of your investment, and any such current payments will reduce the amount of cash available to acquire investments. Payment of such fees and expenses increases the risk that the amount available for distribution to our stockholders would be less than the purchase price of the securities sold in our offering.

Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest

There are significant potential conflicts of interest that could affect our investment returns.

As a result of our arrangements with Procaccianti Companies and its affiliates, there may be times when Procaccianti Companies, our advisor, our property manager, or their affiliates have interests that differ from those of our stockholders, giving rise to a conflict of interest.

Our officers and directors serve or may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as we do, or of investment funds managed by our advisor or its affiliates. Similarly, our advisor, property manager, or their affiliates may have other clients with similar, different or competing investment objectives. In serving in these multiple capacities, they may have obligations to other clients or investors in those entities, the fulfillment of which may not be in the best interests of us or our stockholders. For example, our officers have, and will continue to have, management responsibilities for other investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles managed or sponsored by our advisor and its affiliates. Our investment objectives may overlap with the investment objectives of such affiliated investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles. As a result, those individuals may face conflicts in the allocation of investment opportunities among us and other investment funds or accounts advised by or affiliated with our advisor. Our advisor will seek to allocate investment opportunities among eligible accounts in a manner that is consistent with its allocation policy. However, despite the right of first offer we have, in the event our advisor’s allocation policy does not require a definitive allocation of an opportunity among eligible accounts, we can offer no assurance that such opportunities to us in the most favorable manner

Our advisor, sponsor, property manager, and dealer manager and their officers and employees and certain of our executive officers and other key personnel face competing demands relating to their time, and this may cause our operating results to suffer.

Our advisor, sponsor, property manager, and dealer manager and their officers and employees and certain of our executive officers and other key personnel and their respective affiliates are key personnel, general partners, sponsors, managers, owners, advisors, and selling agents of other investment programs, including Procaccianti Companies or its affiliates’ sponsored investment products, some of which have investment objectives and legal and financial obligations similar to ours and may have other business interests as well. Additionally, based on our sponsor’s experience, a significantly greater time commitment is required of senior management during the development stage when a REIT is being organized, funds are initially being raised, and funds are initially being invested, and less time is required as additional funds are raised and the offering matures. Because these persons have competing demands on their time and resources,

25


TABLE OF CONTENTS

they may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time between our business and these other activities. If this occurs, the returns on our investments may suffer.

Our advisor faces conflicts of interest relating to the terms under our advisory agreement and under our charter, which could result in actions that are not necessarily in the long-term best interests of our stockholders, including required payments if we terminate our advisory agreement under certain circumstances.

Under our advisory agreement, our advisor or its affiliates will be entitled to certain payments that are structured in a manner intended to provide incentives to our advisor to perform in our best interests and in the best interests of our stockholders. However, because our advisor is entitled to receive substantial minimum compensation and reimbursements, including in the form of personnel reimbursements, regardless of performance, our advisor’s interests may not be wholly aligned with those of our stockholders. In addition, our advisor could be motivated to recommend riskier or more speculative investments in order for us to generate the specified levels of performance or sales proceeds that would entitle our advisor to receive certain fees as well as certain special distributions on our A Shares, including distributions on account of  “excess cash” and “remaining liquidation cash.” Under the advisory agreement, these amounts are deferred until certain performance thresholds are met. As a result of these subordinated payments, our advisor may engage in more speculative transactions on our behalf, which could result in greater losses than a more conservative investment approach.

The advisory agreement with our advisor was not negotiated on an arm’s-length basis and may not be as favorable to us as if it had been negotiated with an unaffiliated third party.

The advisory agreement was negotiated between related parties. Consequently, its terms, including fees payable to our advisor, may not be as favorable to us as if it had been negotiated with an unaffiliated third party. In addition, we may choose not to enforce, or to enforce less vigorously, our rights and remedies under the agreement because of our desire to maintain our ongoing relationship with our advisor and its affiliates. Any such decision, however, may breach our fiduciary obligations to our stockholders. However, any recovery against our board of directors may be limited by the terms of our charter.

Our advisor’s liability will be limited under the advisory agreement, and we have agreed to indemnify our advisor against certain liabilities, which may lead our advisor to act in a riskier manner on our behalf than it would when acting for its own account.

Under the advisory agreement, our advisor will not assume any responsibility to us other than to render the services called for under that agreement, and it will not be responsible for any action of our board in following or declining to follow our advisor’s advice or recommendations. Our advisor maintains a contractual, as opposed to a fiduciary, relationship with us. Under the terms of the advisory agreement, our advisor, its officers, members and personnel, and any person controlling or controlled by our advisor will not be liable to us, any subsidiary of ours, our directors, our stockholders or any subsidiary’s stockholders or partners for acts or omissions performed in accordance with and pursuant to the advisory agreement, except those resulting from acts constituting negligence or misconduct. In addition, we have agreed to indemnify our advisor and each of its officers, directors, members, managers and employees from and against any claims or liabilities, including reasonable legal fees and other expenses reasonably incurred, arising out of or in connection with our business and operations or any action taken or omitted on our behalf pursuant to authority granted by the advisory agreement, except where attributable to negligence or misconduct. These protections may lead our advisor to act in a riskier manner when acting on our behalf than it would when acting for its own account.

Our advisor and our property manager are affiliates, which might cause our advisor to decline to pursue certain property investments.

The relationship between our advisor and our property manager may cause our advisor to decline to select a property for acquisition where there is a long-term management contract in place because our property manager would not be able to win the contract. Accordingly, our advisor may turn down certain investments even if the property would otherwise be an attractive investment for investors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

General Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate

Economic, market and regulatory changes that impact the real estate market generally may cause our operating results to suffer and decrease the value of our properties.

Our operating results will be subject to risks generally incident to the ownership of real estate, including:

changes in general or local economic conditions;

changes in the supply of or demand for similar or competing properties in an area;

changes in interest rates and the availability of permanent mortgage financing, which may render the sale of a property or loan difficult or unattractive;

changes in tax, real estate, environmental and zoning laws; and

periods of high interest rates and tight money supply.

Any of the above factors, or a combination thereof, could result in a decrease in the value of our potential properties, which would have an adverse effect on our operations, on our ability to pay distributions to you and on the value of your investment.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has significantly impacted our occupancy rates and RevPar.

Our business has been adversely affected by the impact of, and the public perception of a risk of, a pandemic disease. In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was identified in Wuhan, China, which has subsequently spread to other regions of the world, and has resulted in increased travel restrictions and extended shutdown of certain businesses in affected regions. As discussed further below in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, since late February, we have experienced a significant decline in occupancy and RevPAR and we expect the occupancy and RevPAR reduction associated with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) to continue as we are recording significant reservation cancellations as well as a significant reduction in new reservations relative to prior expectations. A continued outbreak of the virus in the U.S. would likely further reduce travel and demand at our hotels. A prolonged occurrence of the virus may result in health or other government authorities imposing restrictions on travel or other market impacts. The hotel industry and our portfolio are already experiencing the postponement or cancellation of business conferences and similar events. Additionally, the public perception of a risk of a pandemic or media coverage of these diseases, or public perception of health risks linked to perceived regional food and beverage safety, particularly if focused on regions in which our hotels are located, may adversely affect us by reducing demand for our hotels. Currently, no vaccines have been developed, and there can be no assurance that an effective vaccine can be discovered in time to protect against a potential pandemic. Any of these events could result in a sustained, significant drop in demand for our hotels and could have a material adverse effect on us.

We may obtain only limited warranties when we purchase a property and would have only limited recourse if our due diligence did not identify any issues that lower the value of our properties, which could adversely affect our financial condition and ability to make distributions to you.

The seller of a property often sells such property in its “as is” condition on a “where is” basis and “with all faults,” without any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use or purpose. In addition, purchase agreements may contain only limited warranties, representations and indemnifications that will only survive for a limited period after the closing. The purchase of properties with limited warranties increases the risk that we may lose some or all our invested capital in the property as well as the loss of rental income from that property.

Our inability to sell a property when we desire to do so could adversely impact our ability to pay cash distributions to you.

The real estate market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand, that are beyond our control. We

27


TABLE OF CONTENTS

cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any property for the price or on the terms set by us, or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us. We cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of a property.

We may be required to expend funds to correct defects or to make improvements before a property can be sold. We cannot assure you that we will have funds available to correct such defects or to make such improvements. Moreover, in acquiring a property, we may agree to restrictions that prohibit the sale of that property for a period of time or impose other restrictions, such as a limitation on the amount of debt that can be placed or repaid on that property. These provisions would restrict our ability to sell a property.

We may be required to indemnify the purchasers of our investments.

In connection with the disposition of a property from our portfolio, we may be required to make representations about our assets typical of those made in connection with the sale of any property. We may also be required to indemnify the purchasers of such investment to the extent that any such representations turn out to be inaccurate, incorrect, or misleading. These arrangements may result in contingent liabilities, which might ultimately have to be funded by us out of assets other than the net proceeds made available from such disposition.

We may not be able to sell our properties at a price equal to, or greater than, the price for which we purchased such property, which may lead to a decrease in the value of our assets.

The value of a property to a potential purchaser may not increase over time, which may restrict our ability to sell a property, or if we are able to sell such property, may lead to a sale price less than the price that we paid to purchase the property.

We may acquire or finance properties with lock-out provisions, which may prohibit us from selling a property, or may require us to maintain specified debt levels for a period of years on some properties, which could have an adverse effect on your investment.

Lock-out provisions could materially restrict us from selling or otherwise disposing of or refinancing properties. These provisions would affect our ability to turn our investments into cash and thus affect cash available for distributions to you. Lock-out provisions may prohibit us from reducing the outstanding indebtedness with respect to any properties, refinancing such indebtedness on a non-recourse basis at maturity, or increasing the amount of indebtedness with respect to such properties. Lock-out provisions could impair our ability to take other actions during the lock-out period that could be in the best interests of our stockholders and, therefore, may have an adverse impact on the value of the shares, relative to the value that would result if the lock-out provisions did not exist. In particular, lock-out provisions could preclude us from participating in major transactions that could result in a disposition of our assets or a change in control even though that disposition or change in control might be in the best interests of our stockholders.

Acquiring or attempting to acquire multiple properties in a single transaction may adversely affect our operations.

From time to time, we may attempt to acquire multiple properties in a single transaction. Portfolio acquisitions can be more complex than single-property acquisitions, and the risk that a multiple-property acquisition does not close may be greater than in a single-property acquisition. Portfolio acquisitions also may result in us owning investments in geographically dispersed markets, placing additional demands on our ability to manage the properties in the portfolio. In addition, a seller may require that a group of properties be purchased as a package even though we may not want to purchase one or more properties in the portfolio. In these situations, if we are unable to identify another person or entity to acquire the unwanted properties, we may be required to operate or attempt to dispose of these properties. To acquire multiple properties in a single transaction we may be required to accumulate a large amount of cash. We would expect the returns that we earn on such cash to be less than the ultimate returns in real property and therefore, accumulating such cash could reduce the funds available for distributions. Any of the foregoing events may have an adverse effect on our operations.

28


TABLE OF CONTENTS

We may be unable to adjust our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions or sell a property if or when we decide to do so, limiting our ability to pay cash distributions to our stockholders.

Many factors that are beyond our control affect the real estate market and could affect our ability to sell properties for the price, on the terms or within the time frame that we desire. These factors include general economic conditions, the availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand. Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, we have a limited ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions. Further, before we can sell a property on the terms we want, it may be necessary to expend funds to correct defects or to make improvements. However, we can give no assurance that we will have the funds available to correct such defects or to make such improvements. We may be unable to sell our properties at a profit. Our inability to sell properties at the time and on the terms we want could reduce our cash flow and limit our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and could reduce the value of our stockholders’ investments in us. Moreover, in acquiring a property, we may agree to restrictions that prohibit the sale of that property for a period of time or impose other restrictions, such as a limitation on the amount of debt that can be placed or repaid on that property. We cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of a property. Our inability to sell a property when we desire to do so may cause us to reduce our selling price for the property. Any delay in our receipt of proceeds, or diminishment of proceeds, from the sale of a property could adversely impact our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

Uninsured losses relating to real property or excessively expensive premiums for insurance coverage could reduce our net income and the return on your investment.

There are types of losses, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution or environmental matters that are uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments. Insurance risks associated with potential terrorist acts could sharply increase the premiums we pay for coverage against property and casualty claims. Additionally, mortgage lenders in some cases have begun to insist that hotel property owners purchase coverage against terrorism as a condition of providing mortgage loans. Such insurance policies may not be available at a reasonable cost, if at all, which could inhibit our ability to finance or refinance our properties. In such instances, we may be required to provide other financial support, either through financial assurances or self-insurance, to cover potential losses. We may not have adequate coverage for such losses. If any of our properties incur a casualty loss that is not fully insured, the value of that asset will be reduced by such uninsured loss. In addition, other than any working capital reserve or other reserves we may establish, or any line of credit we may obtain, we do not expect to have any sources of funding specifically designated for funding repairs or reconstruction of any uninsured damaged property. Also, to the extent we must pay unexpectedly large amounts for insurance, we could suffer reduced earnings that would result in lower distributions to you.

We may be subject to contingent or unknown liabilities related to properties that we may acquire for which we may have limited or no recourse against the sellers.

The properties that we may acquire may be subject to unknown or contingent liabilities for which we may have limited or no recourse against the sellers. Unknown liabilities might include liabilities for, among other things, cleanup or remediation of undisclosed environmental conditions, claims of guests, vendors or other persons dealing with the properties prior to the acquisition of such property and tax liabilities. Because many liabilities, including tax liabilities, may not be identified within the applicable contractual indemnification period, we may have no recourse against any of the owners from whom we acquire such properties for these liabilities. The existence of such liabilities could significantly adversely affect the value of the property subject to such liability. As a result, if a liability were asserted against us based on ownership of any such properties, then we might have to pay substantial sums to settle it, which could adversely affect our cash flows.

Actions of joint venture partners could reduce the returns on our joint venture investments and decrease your overall return.

We have entered into the joint venture and may enter into additional joint ventures to acquire or improve properties with some of the proceeds of our offering. Such investments may involve risks not otherwise present with other methods of investment in real estate, including, for example, the following risks:

29


TABLE OF CONTENTS

that our co-venturer, co-tenant or partner in an investment could become insolvent or bankrupt;

that such co-venturer, co-tenant or partner may at any time have economic or business interests or goals that are, or that become, inconsistent with our business interests or goals; or

that such co-venturer, co-tenant or partner may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests or contrary to our policies or objectives.

Any of the above might subject a property to liabilities in excess of those contemplated and thus reduce our returns on that investment and the value of your investment.

Such investments may also have the potential risk of impasses on decisions, such as a sale, because neither we nor the co-venturer would have full control over such joint venture. In addition, to the extent our participation represents a minority interest, a majority of the participants may be able to take actions which are not in our best interests because of our lack of full control. Disputes between us and co-venturers may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and/or directors from focusing their time and effort on our business. Consequently, actions by or disputes with co-venturers might result in subjecting properties owned by the joint venture to additional risk. In addition, we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our co-venturers.

Our advisor faces conflicts of interest relating to joint ventures with its affiliates, which could result in a disproportionate benefit to the other venture partners at our expense.

We have entered into the joint venture and may enter into additional joint ventures with our sponsor or with other programs sponsored by affiliates of our advisor for the acquisition of hotel properties. Our sponsor or advisor may face a conflict in structuring the terms of the relationship between our interests and the interests of the co-venturer. Since our sponsor and advisor will control both the co-venturer and, to a large extent, us, agreements and transactions between the co-venturers with respect to any such joint venture will not have the benefit of arm’s-length negotiation of the type normally conducted between unrelated co-venturers. This may result in the co-venturer receiving benefits greater than the benefits that we receive. In addition, we may assume liabilities related to such joint venture that exceed the percentage of our investment in the joint venture.

Costs imposed pursuant to governmental laws and regulations may reduce our net income and the cash available for distributions to you.

Real property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to protection of the environment and human health. We could be subject to liability in the form of fines, penalties or damages for noncompliance with these laws and regulations. These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges, air emissions, the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials, the remediation of contamination associated with the release or disposal of solid and hazardous materials, the presence of toxic building materials, and other health and safety-related concerns.

Some of these laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on the tenants, owners or operators of real property for the costs to investigate or remediate contaminated properties, regardless of fault, whether the contamination occurred prior to purchase, or whether the acts causing the contamination were legal.

Our hotel properties’ operations, the condition of properties at the time we buy them, operations in the vicinity of our properties, such as the presence of underground storage tanks, or activities of unrelated third parties may affect our properties.

The presence of hazardous substances, or the failure to properly manage or remediate these substances, may hinder our ability to sell, rent or pledge such property as collateral for future borrowings. Any material expenditures, fines, penalties, or damages we must pay will reduce our ability to make distributions and may reduce the value of your investment.

30


TABLE OF CONTENTS

The costs of defending against claims of environmental liability, of complying with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property, or of paying personal injury claims could reduce the amounts available for distribution to you.

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous real property owner or operator may be liable for the cost of removing or remediating hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property. These costs could be substantial. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Environmental laws also may impose liens on property or restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures or prevent our property manager from operating such properties. Environmental laws provide for sanctions for noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties. Certain environmental laws and common law principles could be used to impose liability for the release of and exposure to hazardous substances, including asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint. Further, compliance with new or more stringent laws or regulations or stricter interpretation of existing laws may require us to incur material expenditures. Future laws, ordinances or regulations may impose material environmental liability. Third parties may seek recovery from real property owners or operators for personal injury or property damage associated with exposure to released hazardous substances. The costs of defending against claims of environmental liability, of complying with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property, or of paying personal injury claims could reduce the amounts available for distribution to you. We generally will obtain a Phase I environmental assessment for each property we intend to acquire. However, in certain circumstances, we may purchase a property without obtaining such assessment if our advisor determined it is not warranted, specifically in circumstances where our advisor determines to rely upon an assessment certified by, sought and secured by the sellers of the property. A Phase I environmental assessment or site assessment is an initial environmental investigation to identify potential liabilities associated with the current and past uses of a given property. In addition, we will attempt to obtain a representation from the seller that, to its knowledge, the property is not contaminated with hazardous materials.

In the event the Phase I environmental site assessment uncovers potential environmental problems with a property, our advisor will determine whether we will pursue the investment opportunity and whether we will have a Phase II environmental site assessment performed. The factors we may consider in determining whether to conduct a Phase II environmental site assessment include, but are not limited to, (i) the types of operations conducted on the property and surrounding property, (ii) the time, duration and materials used during such operations, (iii) the waste handling practices of any tenants or property owners, (iv) the potential for hazardous substances to be released into the environment, (v) any history of environmental law violations on the subject property and surrounding property, (vi) any documented environmental releases, (vii) any observations from the consultant that conducted the Phase I environmental site assessment, and (viii) whether any party (i.e., surrounding property owners, prior owners or tenants) may be responsible for addressing the environmental conditions. We will determine whether to conduct a Phase II environmental site assessment on a case by case basis.

We may face risks relating to asbestos.

Certain federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances govern the removal, encapsulation or disturbance of asbestos containing materials, or ACMs, when such materials are in poor condition or in the event of renovation or demolition of a building. These laws and the common law may impose liability for release of ACMs and may allow third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury associated with exposure to ACMs. ACMs may have been used in the construction of a number of the properties that we may acquire. We will implement an operations and maintenance program at each of the properties at which we discover ACMs, if any. We can provide no assurance that we will not incur any material liabilities as a result of the presence of ACMs at our properties.

We may face risks relating to lead paint.

Some of the properties we may acquire may have lead paint, and we may have to implement an operations and maintenance program at such properties. We can provide no assurance that we will not incur any material liabilities as a result of the presence of lead paint at our properties.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We may face risks relating to chemical vapors and subsurface contamination.

We are also aware that environmental agencies and third parties have, in the case of certain properties with on-site or nearby contamination, asserted claims for remediation, property damage or personal injury based on the alleged actual or potential intrusion into buildings of chemical vapors (e.g., radon) or volatile organic compounds from soils or groundwater underlying or in the vicinity of those buildings or on nearby properties. We can provide no assurance that we will not acquire properties exposing us to such liabilities or that we will not incur any material liabilities as a result of vapor intrusion at our properties.

We may face risks relating to mold growth.

Mold growth may occur when excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period of time. Concern about indoor exposure to mold has been increasing, as exposure to mold may cause a variety of adverse health effects and symptoms, including allergic or other reactions. We will establish procedures for promptly addressing and remediating mold or excessive moisture when we become aware of its presence regardless of whether we believe a health risk is present. However, we can provide no assurance that mold or excessive moisture will be detected and remediated in a timely manner. If a significant mold problem arises at one of our hotel properties, we could be required to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold from the affected hotel and could be exposed to other liabilities that may exceed any applicable insurance coverage, which may materially affect our business, assets, or results of operations and, consequently, amounts available for distribution to stockholders.

Costs associated with complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act may decrease cash available for distributions.

Our properties may be subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, or the Disabilities Act. Under the Disabilities Act, all places of public accommodation are required to comply with federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The Disabilities Act has separate compliance requirements for “public accommodations” and “commercial facilities” that generally require that buildings and services be made accessible and available to people with disabilities. The Disabilities Act’s requirements could require removal of access barriers and could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, monetary penalties or, in some cases, an award of damages. Any funds used for Disabilities Act compliance will reduce our net income and the amount of cash available for distributions to you.

A concentration of our investments in the hospitality sector or a particular state or region may leave our profitability vulnerable to a downturn or slowdown in the sector or state or region.

Our investments are concentrated in the hospitality sector. As a result, we are subject to risks inherent in investments in a single type of property. For example, the potential effects on our revenues, and as a result, on cash available for distribution to our stockholders, resulting from a downturn or slowdown in the hospitality sector could be more pronounced than if we had more fully diversified our investments. We could be subject to increased exposure from economic and other competitive factors should a concentration of assets be held within any particular geographic area. To the extent general economic conditions worsen in one or more of these markets, or if any of these areas experience a natural disaster, the value of our portfolio and our market rental rates could be adversely affected. As a result, our results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, including cash available to pay distributions to our stockholders, and our ability to satisfy our debt obligations could be materially adversely affected.

To the extent we engage in a strategy for acquiring value-enhancement hotel properties, such a strategy involves greater risks than more conservative investment strategies.

If we execute a “value-enhancement” strategy whereby we seek to acquire hotel properties that offer a high current yield and/or are underperforming assets with the potential to increase in value through a market-based recovery, brand repositioning, investments in capital improvements, revenue enhancements, operational improvements and expense inefficiencies, such a strategy involves greater risks than more conservative investment strategies. The risks related to these value-enhancement investments include risks related to delays in the repositioning or improvement process, higher than expected capital improvement costs,

32


TABLE OF CONTENTS

the additional capital needed to execute our modest value-add program, including possible borrowings or raising additional equity necessary to fund such costs, and ultimately that the repositioning process may not result in the higher profits anticipated. In addition, our value-enhancement properties may not produce revenue while undergoing capital improvements. Furthermore, we may also be unable to complete the improvements of these properties and may be forced to hold or sell these properties at a loss. For these and other reasons, we cannot assure you that we will realize growth in the value of any value-enhancement hotel properties we acquire, and as a result, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders could be adversely affected.

Acquiring properties from distressed sellers involves a higher risk of loss than would a strategy of investing in other properties.

We may opportunistically acquire hotel properties from distressed sellers. Traditional performance metrics of real estate assets may not be meaningful for opportunistic real estate. Non-stabilized properties, for example, do not have stabilized occupancy rates to provide a useful measure of revenue. Further, an appraisal of a non-stabilized property, in particular, involves a high degree of subjectivity due to high vacancy levels and uncertainties with respect to future market average daily rates and timing of occupancy stabilization. Accordingly, different assumptions may materially change the appraised value of the property. In addition, the value of the property will change over time.

Risks Related to Hotel Investments

As a REIT, we cannot directly operate our hotel properties, and expect to rely principally on our property manager to operate our hotel properties.

Because we are prohibited from operating hotel properties pursuant to certain tax laws relating to our qualification as a REIT, the entities through which we own the hotel properties will lease the hotel properties to one or more TRSs, which will enter into property management agreements with a hotel property manager, generally expected to be one or more entities affiliated with our advisor. These affiliated property management companies may include TPG Hotels & Resorts, Inc., an affiliate of our sponsor and advisor, and TPG’s wholly owned subsidiaries, which we collectively refer to as TPG, or other affiliates and/or designees of TPG. We refer to TPG and such other affiliates and/or designees collectively as our property manager. Our property manager will operate and manage our hotel properties. The TRSs will enter into any franchise agreements to brand our hotels. We cannot assure you that our property manager or any other third-party hotel property manager we retain will manage our properties in a manner that is consistent with its obligations under its property management agreements with our TRSs or our TRSs’ obligations under hotel franchise agreements, that the property manager will not be negligent in its performance or engage in other criminal or fraudulent activity, or that the property manager will not otherwise default on its management obligations. We will not have the authority to require any hotel property to be operated in a particular manner or to govern any particular aspect of the daily operations of any hotel property (for example, setting room rates). Thus, even if we believe our hotel properties are being operated inefficiently or in a manner that does not result in satisfactory occupancy rates, revenue per available room, or RevPAR, and average daily rates, or ADR, we may not be able to make the property manager change its method of operating our hotel properties. Our results of operations, financial position, cash flows and our ability to service debt and to make distributions to stockholders are, therefore, dependent on the ability of our property manager to operate our hotel properties successfully, and its failure to do so could adversely impact our ability to service debt and to make distributions to our stockholders.

Our leases with TRSs will subject us to the risk of increased hotel operating expenses.

Our TRSs will be required to pay us rent based in part on revenues from our hotel properties and, therefore, subject us to the risk of increased hotel operating expenses. Our operating risks include decreases in hotel revenues and increases in hotel operating expenses, which would adversely affect the ability of our TRSs to pay us rent due under leases, including, but not limited to, increases in:

wage and benefit costs;

repair and maintenance costs;

33


TABLE OF CONTENTS

energy costs;

property taxes;

fee increases required by hotel brand franchisors;

insurance costs; and

other operating expenses.

Increases in these operating expenses can have a significant adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

Unanticipated expenses and insufficient demand for hotel properties in new geographic markets could adversely affect our profitability and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

As part of our business strategy, we may acquire hotel properties in geographic areas in which our property manager may have little or no operating experience or in which potential customers may not be familiar with the brand of the particular hotel. As a result, we may incur costs relating to the operation and promotion of such hotel properties that are substantially greater than those incurred in other areas. These hotel properties may attract fewer customers than other hotel properties we may acquire, and at the same time, we may incur substantial additional costs with such hotel properties. As a result, the results of operations at any hotel properties we may acquire that are in unfamiliar markets or that may not have familiar brands in the market may be less than those of other hotel properties we may acquire. Unanticipated expenses and insufficient demand at a new hotel property, therefore, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to general risks associated with operating hotel properties.

We intend to acquire hotel properties, which have different economic characteristics than many other real estate assets, and a hotel REIT is structured differently than many other types of REITs. A typical office property, for example, has long-term leases with third-party tenants, which provide a relatively stable long-term stream of revenue. Our TRSs will engage our property manager or third-party hotel property managers, pursuant to property management agreements, and will pay such property managers a fee for managing the hotel. Our TRSs generally will receive all of the operating profit or losses at such hotel properties after payment of our property manager’s fee and reimbursement of expenses. Moreover, virtually all hotel guests typically stay at a hotel for only a few nights, which causes the room rate and occupancy levels at hotel properties to change every day, and which results in earnings that can be highly volatile.

In addition, our hotel properties (and the hotel properties underlying any real estate-related investments we acquire) will be subject to various operating risks common to the hotel industry, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:

adverse effects of the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19), including a potential general reduction in business and personal travel and potential travel restrictions in regions where our hotels are located;

competition from other hotel properties in the relevant markets;

over-building of hotel properties in markets in which our hotels are located, which results in increased supply and adversely affects occupancy and revenues at our hotel properties;

dependence on business and commercial travelers and tourism;

increases in operating costs due to inflation, increased energy costs and other factors that may not be offset by increased room rates;

increases in assessed property taxes from changes in valuation or real estate tax rates;

increases in the cost of property insurance;

changes in governmental laws and regulations, fiscal policies and zoning ordinances and the related costs of compliance;

34


TABLE OF CONTENTS

unforeseen events beyond our control, such as terrorist attacks, travel related health concerns which could reduce travel, including pandemics and epidemics such as H1N1 influenza (swine flu), avian bird flu, SARS, zika virus, imposition of taxes or surcharges by regulatory authorities, travel-related accidents, travel infrastructure interruptions, and unusual weather patterns, including natural disasters such as hurricanes, tsunamis or earthquakes;

adverse effects of international, national, regional and local economic and market conditions and increases in energy costs or labor costs and other expenses affecting travel, which may affect travel patterns and reduce the number of business and commercial travelers and tourists;

adverse effects of a downturn in the hotel or tourism industries; and

risks generally associated with the ownership of hotel properties and real estate, as we discuss in more detail below.

These factors could adversely affect the net operating profits of our TRSs, which in turn would adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, the value of our securities, and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

The hotel industry is seasonal, which will affect our results of operations from quarter to quarter.

The hotel industry is seasonal in nature. This seasonality can result in quarterly fluctuations in our financial condition and operating results, including the amount available for distributions on our shares. Our quarterly operating results may be adversely affected by factors outside of our control, including weather conditions and poor economic factors in certain markets in which we operate. Our cash flows may not be sufficient to offset any shortfalls that occur as a result of these fluctuations. As a result, we may have to reduce distributions or enter into short-term borrowings in some quarterly periods in order to make distributions to our stockholders.

The cyclical nature of the hotel industry may result in fluctuations in our operating performance, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

The hotel industry historically has been highly cyclical in nature. Fluctuations in hotel demand and, therefore, hotel operating performance, are caused largely by general economic and local market conditions, which subsequently affect levels of business and leisure travel. In addition to general economic conditions, new hotel room supply is an important factor that can affect the hotel industry’s performance, and overbuilding has the potential to further exacerbate the negative impact of an economic recession. Room rates and occupancy, and thus RevPAR, tend to increase when demand growth exceeds supply growth. An adverse change in hotel fundamentals could result in returns that are substantially below our expectations or result in losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

Many of our real estate-related costs are fixed, and will not decrease even if revenues from our hotel properties decrease.

Many costs, such as real estate taxes, insurance premiums and maintenance costs, generally are not reduced when a hotel is not fully occupied, room rates decrease or other circumstances cause a reduction in revenues. In addition, newly acquired or renovated hotel properties may not produce the revenues we anticipate immediately, or at all, and the hotel’s operating cash flow may be insufficient to pay the operating expenses and debt service associated with such new hotel property. If we are unable to offset real estate costs with sufficient revenues across our portfolio, our operating results and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders may be adversely affected.

The popularity of booking hotels through internet travel intermediaries may adversely affect our profitability.

The increasing use of internet travel intermediaries by consumers may cause fluctuations in operating performance during the year and otherwise adversely affect our profitability and cash flows. Our property manager will rely upon internet travel intermediaries such as Travelocity.com, Expedia.com and Priceline.com to generate demand for our hotel properties. As internet bookings increase, these intermediaries may be

35


TABLE OF CONTENTS

able to obtain higher commissions, reduced room rates or other significant contract concessions from our property manager. Moreover, some of these internet travel intermediaries are attempting to offer hotel rooms as a commodity, by increasing the importance of price and general indicators of quality (such as “three-star downtown hotel”) at the expense of brand identification. These intermediaries hope that consumers will eventually develop brand loyalties to their reservations system rather than to hotel franchise brands. If the amount of sales made through internet intermediaries increases significantly and results in a decrease in consumer loyalty to the brands under which our hotel properties are franchised, our room revenues may be lower than expected, and our profitability may be adversely affected.

Our revenues and profitability may be adversely affected by increased use of business-related technology, which may reduce the need for business-related travel.

The increased use of teleconference and video-conference technology by businesses could result in decreased business travel as companies increase the use of technologies that allow multiple parties from different locations to participate at meetings without traveling to a centralized meeting location. To the extent that such technologies play an increased role in day-to-day business and the necessity for business-related travel decreases, hotel room demand and our revenues, profitability and ability to make distributions to our stockholders may be adversely affected.

Future terrorist attacks or changes in terror alert levels could materially and adversely affect our business.

Terrorist attacks have adversely affected the U.S. travel market and hospitality industries since 2001, often disproportionately to the effect on the overall economy. The extent of the impact that actual or threatened terrorist attacks in the U.S. or elsewhere could have on domestic and international travel and our business in particular cannot be determined, but any such attacks or the threat of such attacks could have a material adverse effect on travel and hotel demand, our ability to finance our business and our ability to insure our hotel properties. Any of these events could materially and adversely affect our business, our operating results and our prospects.

We compete with other hotels for guests, which could adversely affect the occupancy levels and rental revenues at our properties.

The hotel industry is highly competitive. Our hotel properties will compete on the basis of location, room rates, quality, range of services, brand affiliation, and reservation systems, among many other factors. New hotel properties may be constructed, which results in new competitors in a market, in some cases without corresponding increases in demand for hotel rooms. We expect to face competition from many sources. We will face competition from other hotel properties both in the immediate vicinity and the geographic market where our hotel properties will be located. Over-building of hotel properties in the markets in which we operate may increase the number of rooms available and may decrease occupancy and room rates, which would adversely affect our operations.

We will also compete with alternative lodging products for guests. Certain companies, including AIRBNB, homeaway.com and VRBO.com offer vacation and overnight lodging to the public. This competition could reduce occupancy levels and rental revenues at our properties, which would adversely affect our profitability and impede our growth.

We will face competition that could limit our ability to acquire additional investments or dispose of properties, which could adversely affect our profitability and impede our growth.

We will compete with numerous real estate companies and other owners of real estate in seeking hotel properties for acquisition and pursuing buyers for dispositions. We expect that other real estate investors, including insurance companies, private equity funds, sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, other REITs and other well-capitalized investors, will compete with us to acquire existing properties, and many of these investors will have greater sources of capital to acquire properties. This competition could increase prices for properties of the type we would likely pursue and adversely affect our profitability and impede our growth. Competition when multiple hospitality investors are seeking to dispose of properties can conversely decrease prices for properties, which, if we are trying to dispose of properties, could adversely affect our profitability and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

36


TABLE OF CONTENTS

Failure to maintain franchise licenses could decrease our revenues.

The inability to maintain franchise licenses could decrease our revenues. Maintenance of franchise licenses for our hotel properties is subject to maintaining our franchisors’ operating standards and other terms and conditions. Franchisors periodically inspect hotel properties to ensure that such hotel properties are maintained in accordance with their standards. Failure to maintain our hotel properties in accordance with these standards or comply with other terms and conditions of the applicable franchise agreement could result in a franchise license being canceled. If a franchise license terminates due to our failure to make required improvements or to otherwise comply with its terms, we may also be liable to the franchisor for a termination fee. As a condition to the maintenance of a franchise license, our franchisor could also require us to make capital expenditures, even if we do not believe the capital improvements are necessary, desirable, or likely to result in an acceptable return on our investment. We may risk losing a franchise license if we do not make franchisor-required capital expenditures.

If our franchisor terminates the franchise license, we may try either to obtain a suitable replacement franchise or to operate the hotel property without a franchise license. The loss of a franchise license could materially and adversely affect the operations or the underlying value of the hotel property because of the loss associated with the brand recognition and/or the marketing support and centralized reservation systems provided by the franchisor. A loss of a franchise license for one or more hotel properties could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and our cash flows, including our ability to service debt and make distributions to our stockholders.

We are subject to risks associated with the employment of hotel personnel, particularly with respect to hotels that employ unionized labor.

Our property managers will be responsible for hiring and maintaining the labor force at each of our hotel properties. Although we will not directly employ or manage employees at our hotel properties, we still will be subject to many of the costs and risks generally associated with the hotel labor force, particularly with respect to hotel properties with unionized labor. From time to time, hotel operations may be disrupted as a result of strikes, lockouts, public demonstrations or other negative actions and publicity. We also may incur increased legal costs and indirect labor costs as a result of contract disputes or other events. The resolution of labor disputes or re-negotiated labor contracts could lead to increased labor costs, either by increases in wages or benefits or by changes in work rules that raise hotel operating costs. We do not have the ability to affect the outcome of these disputes.

Risks Associated with Real Estate-Related Assets

The real estate-related assets in which we may invest may involve greater risks of loss than senior loans secured by the same properties.

We may invest in real estate-related assets that take the form of first or second mortgages, B-Notes, mezzanine loans secured by a pledge of the ownership interests of the entity owning the real property or an entity that owns (directly or indirectly) the interest in the entity owning the real property, or preferred equity interests in an entity that owns (directly or indirectly) the underlying real estate. Our acquisition of these types of assets will be with the intent of acquiring the underlying real estate. Such investment opportunities may involve a higher degree of risk than long-term senior mortgage lending secured by income-producing real property because the investment may be or become unsecured or undersecured as a result of foreclosure by a lender with a higher priority in the capital structure. If the entity owning the property becomes a debtor in a bankruptcy case, we may not be able to realize on our strategy of acquiring the underlying real estate, in which case the value of our investment would be limited to the amount realizable on the value of our investment. In that case, we may not have full recourse to the underlying assets of such entity, or the assets of the entity may not be sufficient to satisfy our debt or to allow us to realize a return of or on our preferred equity investment. If an entity defaults on our debt or debt senior to our position, or if the property holding entity becomes a debtor in a bankruptcy proceeding, our debt or preferred equity will be satisfied only after the debt more senior to ours, if any. As a result, we may not recover some or all of our investment.

37


TABLE OF CONTENTS

We may acquire secured debt or preferred equity with the intent to own and may experience significant costs and delays in acquiring the underlying property.

We may acquire outstanding debt secured by a hotel property or by interests in an entity owning a hotel property, or a preferred equity position in the capital structure relating to such a property, from lenders and investors if we believe we can ultimately foreclose or otherwise acquire ownership of the underlying property in the near-term through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or other means. However, if we do acquire such debt or equity position, borrowers or upper tier equity holders may seek to assert various defenses to our foreclosure or other actions and we may not be successful in acquiring the underlying property on a timely basis, or at all, in which event we could incur significant costs and experience significant delays in acquiring such properties, all of which could adversely affect our financial performance and reduce our expected returns from such investments. In addition, we may not earn a current return on such investments. This particularly holds true if the loan that we acquire, or the loan in the structure in which we acquire the preferred equity interest, is in default. Such investments may be further subject to regulatory constraints.

Any distressed investments we make, or investments that later become non-performing, may subject us to losses and other risks relating to bankruptcy proceedings, which could materially and adversely affect us.

We may make distressed investments (e.g., investments in defaulted, out-of-favor or distressed bank loans) in an attempt to acquire the real estate underlying such investments. Some of our investments may be secured by properties that typically are highly leveraged, with significant burdens on cash flow and, therefore, involve a high degree of financial risk. During an economic downturn or recession, loans or securities of financially or operationally troubled borrowers or issuers are more likely to go into default than loans or securities of other borrowers or issuers. Loans or securities of financially or operationally troubled issuers are less liquid and more volatile than loans or securities of borrowers or issuers not experiencing such difficulties. Investment in the loans of financially or operationally troubled borrowers involves a high degree of credit risk.

In certain limited cases (e.g., in connection with a workout, restructuring or foreclosure proceeding involving one or more of our investments), the success of our investment strategies with respect thereto will depend, in part, on our ability to acquire loan modifications. These financial difficulties may never be overcome and may cause borrowers to become subject to bankruptcy or other similar administrative proceedings.

In such cases, there is a possibility that we may incur substantial or total losses on our investments and, in certain circumstances, become subject to certain additional potential liabilities that may exceed the value of our original investment therein. For example, under certain circumstances, a lender that has inappropriately exercised control over the management and policies of a debtor may have its claims subordinated or disallowed or may be found liable for damages suffered by parties as a result of such actions. In any reorganization or liquidation proceeding relating to our investments, we may lose our entire investment, may be required to accept cash or securities with a value less than our original investment and/or may be required to accept different terms, including payment over an extended period of time. In addition, under certain circumstances, payments to us may be reclaimed if any such payment or distribution is later determined to have been a fraudulent conveyance, preferential payment, or similar transaction under applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws. Furthermore, bankruptcy laws and similar laws applicable to administrative proceedings may delay our ability to realize on collateral for loan positions we hold, may adversely affect the economic terms and priority of such loans through doctrines such as equitable subordination or may result in a restructuring of the debt through principles such as the “cramdown” provisions of the bankruptcy laws. Any of the foregoing results could materially and adversely affect us.

The value of the real estate securities that we may invest in may be volatile.

The value of real estate securities, including those of REITs, fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market and economic developments. In the short term, equity prices can fluctuate dramatically in response to these developments. Different parts of the market and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments and then can affect a single issuer, multiple issuers within the same industry, the economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole. The real estate industry is sensitive to

38


TABLE OF CONTENTS

economic downturns. The value of securities of companies engaged in real estate activities can be affected by changes in real estate values and rental income, property taxes, interest rates and tax and regulatory requirements. In addition, the value of a REIT’s equity securities can depend on the capital structure and amount of cash flow generated by the REIT.

We expect a portion of our portfolio of real estate-related assets to be illiquid and we may not be able to adjust our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions.

We may purchase real estate securities in connection with privately negotiated transactions that are not registered under the relevant securities laws, resulting in a prohibition against their transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition except in a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirement of, or is otherwise in accordance with, those laws. As a result, our ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions may be relatively limited. The mezzanine and bridge loans we may purchase will be particularly illiquid investments due to their short life, their unsuitability for securitization and the greater risk of our inability to recover loaned amounts in the event of a borrower’s default.

Interest rate and related risks may cause the value of our real estate-related assets to be reduced.

We will be subject to interest rate risk with respect to any investments in fixed income securities, such as preferred equity and debt securities, and to a lesser extent distribution paying A Shares. Interest rate risk is the risk that these types of securities will decline in value because of changes in market interest rates. Generally, when market interest rates rise, the fair value of such securities will decline, and vice versa.

During periods of rising interest rates, the average life of certain types of securities may be extended because of slower than expected principal payments. This may lock in a below-market interest rate, increase the security’s duration and reduce the value of the security. This is known as extension risk. During periods of declining interest rates, an issuer may be able to exercise an option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled, which is generally known as call risk or prepayment risk. If this occurs, we may be forced to reinvest in lower yielding securities. This is known as reinvestment risk. Preferred equity and debt securities frequently have call features that allow the issuer to redeem the security prior to its stated maturity. An issuer may redeem an obligation if the issuer can refinance the debt at a lower cost due to declining interest rates or an improvement in the credit standing of the issuer. These risks may reduce the value of any real estate-related securities investments we acquire.

Our investments in real estate-related assets will be subject to the risks related to the underlying real estate.

Real estate loans secured by properties are subject to the risks related to underlying real estate. The ability of a borrower to repay a loan secured by a property typically is dependent upon the successful operation of such property rather than upon the existence of independent income or assets of the borrower. If the net operating income of the property is reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. Any default on the loan could result in our acquiring ownership of the property, and we would bear a risk of loss of principal to the extent of any deficiency between the value of the collateral and the principal and accrued interest of the mortgage loan. In addition, foreclosure of a mortgage loan can be an expensive and lengthy process that could have a substantial negative effect on our anticipated return on the foreclosed loan.

We will not know whether the values of the properties ultimately securing any loans we acquire will remain at the levels existing on the dates we acquire those loans. If the values of the underlying properties decline, our risk will increase because of the lower value of the security associated with such loans. In this manner, real estate values could impact the values of our loan investments.

If we liquidate prior to the maturity of our real estate-related assets, we may be forced to sell those investments on unfavorable terms or at a loss.

Our board of directors may choose to liquidate our assets, including our real estate-related assets. If we liquidate those investments prior to their maturity, we may be forced to sell those investments on unfavorable terms or at a loss. For instance, if we are required to liquidate mortgage loans at a time when prevailing

39


TABLE OF CONTENTS

interest rates are higher than the interest rates of such mortgage loans, we likely would sell such loans at a discount to their stated principal values.

Risks Associated with Debt Financing

We may incur mortgage indebtedness and other borrowings, which we have broad authority to incur, that may increase our business risks and decrease the value of your investment.

We expect that in most instances, we will acquire real properties by using either existing financing or borrowing new funds. In addition, we may incur mortgage debt and pledge all or some of our real properties as security for that debt to obtain funds to acquire additional real properties. We may borrow if we need funds to satisfy the REIT tax qualification requirement that we distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain. We also may borrow if we otherwise deem it necessary or advisable to assure that we maintain our qualification as a REIT.

There is no limitation on the amount we may borrow against any single improved property. Our charter provides that the maximum amount of our total indebtedness shall not exceed 300% of our total “net assets” (total assets (other than intangibles) at cost, before deducting depreciation, reserves for bad debts or other non-cash reserves, less total liabilities) as of the date of any borrowing (which is the maximum level of indebtedness permitted under the NASAA REIT Guidelines, absent a satisfactory showing that a higher level is appropriate), which is generally expected to be approximately 75% of the cost of our investments.

Notwithstanding this 75% leverage limitation, we intend to target the greater of 50% loan-to-value or loan-to-cost. However, during the initial stages of our offering, our leverage ratio could exceed our target leverage ratio. We may exceed our leverage limit if such excess is approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report following such borrowing, along with justification for exceeding such limit. However, this charter limitation does not apply to individual real estate assets or investments. In addition, it is our intention to limit our borrowings to 75% of the aggregate fair market value of our assets (calculated after the close of our offering and once we have invested substantially all the proceeds of our offering), unless excess borrowing is approved by a majority of the independent directors and disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report following such borrowing along with justification for such excess borrowing. However, subsequent events, including changes in the fair market value of our assets, could result in our exceeding these limits. We expect that during the period of our offering we will seek such independent director approval of borrowings in excess of these limitations since we will then be in the process of raising our equity capital to acquire our portfolio. As a result, we expect that our debt levels will be higher until we have raised equity capital and repaid a portion of our initial leverage. High debt levels would cause us to incur higher interest charges, would result in higher debt service payments and could be accompanied by restrictive covenants. These factors could limit the amount of cash we have available to distribute and could result in a decline in the value of your investment.

If there is a shortfall between the cash flow from a property and the cash flow needed to service mortgage debt on a property, then the amount available for distributions to stockholders may be reduced. In addition, incurring mortgage debt increases the risk of loss since defaults on indebtedness secured by a property may result in lenders initiating foreclosure actions. In that case, we could lose the property securing the loan that is in default, thus reducing the value of your investment. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our properties would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but would not receive any cash proceeds. In such event, we may be unable to pay the amount of distributions required in order to maintain our REIT status. We may give full or partial guarantees to lenders of mortgage debt to the entities that own our properties. When we provide a guaranty on behalf of an entity that owns one of our properties, we will be responsible to the lender for satisfaction of the debt if it is not paid by such entity. If any mortgages contain cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions, a default on a single property could affect multiple properties. If any of our properties are foreclosed upon due to a default, our ability to pay cash distributions to our stockholders will be adversely affected which could result in our losing our REIT status and would result in a decrease in the value of your investment.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and adversely affect our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

We expect that we will incur indebtedness in the future. To the extent that we incur variable rate debt, increases in interest rates would increase our interest costs, which could reduce our cash flows and our ability to pay distributions to you. In addition, if we need to repay existing debt during periods of rising interest rates, we could be required to liquidate one or more of our investments in properties at times that may not permit realization of the maximum return on such investments.

Lenders may require us to enter into restrictive covenants relating to our operations, which could limit our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

When providing financing, a lender may impose restrictions on us that affect our distribution and operating policies and our ability to incur additional debt. Loan agreements we enter may contain covenants that limit our ability to further mortgage a property, discontinue insurance coverage or replace our advisor. In addition, loan documents may limit our ability to replace a property’s property manager or terminate certain operating or lease agreements related to a property. These or other limitations would decrease our operating flexibility and our ability to achieve our operating objectives.

Our derivative financial instruments that we may use to hedge against interest rate fluctuations may not be successful in mitigating our risks associated with interest rates and could reduce the overall returns on our stockholders’ investments.

We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our assets, but no hedging strategy can protect us completely. We cannot assure you that our hedging strategy and the derivatives that we use will adequately offset the risk of interest rate volatility or that our hedging transactions will not result in losses. In addition, the use of such instruments may reduce the overall return on our investments. These instruments may also generate income that may not be treated as qualifying REIT income for purposes of the 75% Gross Income Test or the 95% Gross Income Test. Finally, while we have not experienced negative interest rates in the United States, some central banks in Europe and Asia have cut interest rates below zero, and the Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve has not ruled out the possibility that it may in the future adopt similar policies in the United States. Because of the novelty that negative interest rates would present, it is possible that such rates would adversely affect the functionality of our interest rate risk management and other models. This could lead to disruptions in our hedging and other risk management programs, result in significant fair value losses on the derivatives we use to manage interest rate risk, reduce our net interest income, increase our operational risk, and have other unforeseen consequences.

Interest-only and adjustable rate indebtedness may increase our risk of default and ultimately may reduce our funds available for distribution to our stockholders.

We may finance our property acquisitions using interest-only mortgage indebtedness. During the interest-only period, the amount of each scheduled payment will be less than that of a traditional amortizing mortgage loan. The principal balance of the mortgage loan will not be reduced (except in the case of prepayments) because there are no scheduled monthly payments of principal during this period. After the interest-only period, we will be required either to make scheduled payments of amortized principal and interest or to make a lump-sum or “balloon” payment at maturity. These required principal or balloon payments will increase the amount of our scheduled payments and may increase our risk of default under the related mortgage loan. Our ability to make a balloon payment at maturity is uncertain and may depend upon our ability to obtain additional financing or our ability to sell the property. At the time the balloon payment is due, we may or may not be able to refinance the balloon payment on terms as favorable as the original loan or sell the property at a price sufficient to make the balloon payment. The effect of a refinancing or sale could affect the rate of return to stockholders and the projected time of disposition of our assets. In addition, payments of principal and interest made to service our debts may leave us with insufficient cash to pay the distributions that we are required to pay to maintain our qualification as a REIT. Any of these results would have a significant, negative impact on our stockholders’ investments.

41


TABLE OF CONTENTS

Finally, if the mortgage loan has an adjustable interest rate, the amount of our scheduled payments also may increase at a time of rising interest rates. Increased payments and substantial principal or balloon maturity payments will reduce the funds available for distribution to our stockholders because cash otherwise available for distribution will be required to pay principal and interest associated with these mortgage loans.

We have broad authority to utilize leverage and high levels of leverage could hinder our ability to make distributions and decrease the value of your investment.

Our charter does not limit us from utilizing financing until our borrowings exceed 300% of our total “net assets” (as defined in our charter in accordance with the NASAA REIT Guidelines), which is generally expected to approximate 75% of the aggregate cost of our investments, however, we intend to target a leverage ratio of 50%. During the initial stages of our offering, our leverage ratio could exceed our target leverage ratio. Further, we can incur financings in excess of this limitation with the approval of our independent directors. High leverage levels would cause us to incur higher interest charges and higher debt service payments and the agreements governing our borrowings may also include restrictive covenants. These factors could limit the amount of cash we have available to distribute to you and could result in a decline in the value of your investment.

Changes in banks’ inter-bank lending rate reporting practices or the method pursuant to which LIBOR is determined may impact our variable rate debt and adversely affect our ability to manage and hedge our debt.

LIBOR and other indices are the subject of recent national, international, and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. Some of these reforms are already effective while others are still to be implemented. These reforms may cause such benchmarks to perform differently than in the past, or have other consequences which cannot be predicted. LIBOR is calculated by reference to a market for interbank lending that continues to shrink, as it’s based on increasingly fewer actual transactions. This increases the subjectivity of the LIBOR calculation process and increases the risk of manipulation. Actions by the regulators or law enforcement agencies, as well as ICE Benchmark Administration (the current administrator of LIBOR), may result in changes to the manner in which LIBOR is determined or the establishment of alternative reference rates. For example, on July 27, 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021.

It is likely that, over time, U.S. Dollar LIBOR will be replaced by the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. However, the manner and timing of this shift is currently unknown. SOFR is an overnight rate instead of a term rate, making SOFR an inexact replacement for LIBOR. There is currently no perfect way to create robust, forward-looking, SOFR term rates. Market participants are still considering how various types of financial instruments and securitization vehicles should react to a discontinuation of LIBOR. It is possible that not all of our variable rate debt will transition away from LIBOR at the same time, and it is possible that not all of our variable rate debt will transition to the same alternative reference rate, in each case increasing the difficulty of hedging. Switching existing financial instruments and hedging transactions from LIBOR to SOFR requires calculations of a spread. Industry organizations are attempting to structure the spread calculation in a manner that minimizes the possibility of value transfer between counterparties, borrowers, and lenders by virtue of the transition, but there is no assurance that the calculated spread will be fair and accurate or that all asset types and all types of securitization vehicles will use the same spread. We and other market participants have less experience understanding and modeling SOFR-based assets and liabilities than LIBOR-based assets and liabilities, increasing the difficulty of investing, hedging, and risk management. The process of transition involves operational risks. It is also possible that no transition will occur for many financial instruments, meaning that those instruments would continue to be subject to the weaknesses of the LIBOR calculation process. At this time, it is not possible to predict the effect of any such changes, any establishment of alternative reference rates or any other reforms to LIBOR that may be implemented. If LIBOR ceases to exist, we may need to renegotiate with borrowers and financing institutions that utilize LIBOR as a factor in determining the interest rate to replace LIBOR with the new standard that is established. As such, the potential effect of any such event on our cost of capital and interest income cannot yet be determined.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Risks

Failure to qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT would adversely affect our operations and our ability to make distributions.

We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or a REIT, beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2018. In order for us to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must satisfy certain requirements set forth in the Code and Treasury Regulations that may depend on various factual matters and circumstances that are not entirely within our control. We intend to structure our activities in a manner designed to satisfy all of these requirements. However, if certain of our operations were to be recharacterized by the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, such recharacterization could jeopardize our ability to satisfy all of the requirements for qualification as a REIT. Morris, Manning & Martin LLP has rendered its opinion that we will qualify as a REIT, based upon our representations as to the manner in which we will be owned, invest in assets, and operate, among other things. However, our qualification as a REIT will depend upon our ability to meet, through investments, actual operating results, distributions, and satisfaction of the various tests imposed by the Code, the requirements to be taxed as a REIT under the Code and Treasury Regulations. Morris, Manning & Martin LLP will not review these operating results or compliance with the qualification standards on an ongoing basis. This means that we may fail to satisfy the REIT requirements in the future. Also, any legal opinion from Morris, Manning & Martin LLP represents that firm’s legal judgment based on the law in effect as of the date of the filing of such opinion with a registration statement for our offering or any future public offering in which we elect to engage. Morris, Manning & Martin LLP’s opinion is not binding on the IRS or the courts, and we will not apply for a ruling from the IRS regarding our status as a REIT. Future legislative, judicial, or administrative changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws could be applied retroactively, which could result in our disqualification as a REIT.

If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year and we do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at corporate rates. In addition, we would generally be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year we lose our REIT status. Losing our REIT status would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to stockholders because of the additional tax liability. In addition, distributions to stockholders would no longer qualify for the dividends paid deduction, and we would no longer be required to make distributions. If this occurs, we might be required to borrow funds or liquidate some investments in order to pay the applicable tax.

To qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must meet annual distribution requirements, which may result in us distributing amounts that may otherwise be used for our operations and which could result in our inability to acquire assets.

To obtain the favorable tax treatment afforded to REITs under the Code, we generally will be required each year to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gain. To the extent that we do not distribute all of our net capital gains or distribute at least 90%, but less than 100%, of our REIT taxable income, as adjusted, we will have to pay tax on those amounts at regular corporate tax rates. Furthermore, if we fail to distribute during each calendar year at least the sum of   (a) 85% of our ordinary income for that year, (b) 95% of our capital gain net income for that year, and (c) any undistributed taxable income from prior periods, we would have to pay a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the excess of the required distribution over the sum of  (a) the amounts that we actually distributed and (b) the amounts we retained and upon which we paid income tax at the corporate level. These requirements could cause us to distribute amounts that otherwise would be spent on investments in real estate assets, and it is possible that we might be required to borrow funds, possibly at unfavorable rates, or sell assets to fund these distributions. Although we intend to make distributions sufficient to meet the annual distribution requirements and to avoid U.S. federal income and excise taxes, it is possible that we might not always be able to do so.

You may have current tax liability on distributions you elect to reinvest in our K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares but would not receive cash from such distributions, and therefore you would need to use funds from another source to pay such tax liability.

If you participate in our DRIP, you will be deemed to have received, and for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be taxed on, the amount reinvested in K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares, as applicable, to

43


TABLE OF CONTENTS

the extent the amount reinvested is properly treated as being paid out of  “earnings and profits”. As a result, unless you are a tax-exempt entity, you may have to use funds from other sources to pay your tax liability on the distributions reinvested in our common stock.

Certain of our business activities potentially may be subject to the prohibited transactions tax, which could reduce the return on your investment.

If we dispose of a property (other than foreclosure property) during the first few years following its acquisition, such property may be treated as inventory or property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business, which would subject us to a 100% tax on any gain recognized on the sale under applicable provisions of the Code related to “prohibited transactions,” unless certain safe harbor requirements are satisfied. Whether property is inventory or otherwise held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business depends on the particular facts and circumstances surrounding each property. Properties we own, directly or through any subsidiary entity, including our operating partnership, but generally excluding our TRSs, may, depending on how we conduct our operations, be treated as inventory or property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. Any losses we incur on such prohibited transactions may not be used to offset gains from prohibited transactions. Any taxes we pay would reduce our cash available for distribution to you. Our concern over paying the prohibited transactions tax may cause us to forego disposition opportunities that would otherwise be advantageous if we were not a REIT.

Distributions payable by REITs generally are subject to a higher tax rate than regular corporate dividends under current law.

The maximum U.S. federal income tax rate for “qualified dividends” payable to U.S. stockholders that are individuals, trusts and estates generally is 20%. Dividends payable by REITs, however, are generally not eligible for the reduced rates for qualified dividends and are taxed at ordinary income rates (however, distributions (other than distributions designated as capital gain distributions and distributions traceable to distributions from a taxable REIT subsidiary), which are received by a pass-through entity or an individual, are eligible for a 20% deduction from gross income under the current tax laws that will expire if not extended at the end of 2025). Although the reduced rate for “qualified dividends” does not adversely affect the taxation of REITs or dividends payable by REITs, to the extent that the reduced rates continue to apply to regular corporate qualified dividends, investors that are individuals, trusts and estates may perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stock of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends.

In certain circumstances, we may be subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes as a REIT, which would reduce our cash available for distribution to you.

Even if we maintain our status as a REIT, we may be subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes. For example, as noted above, net income from the sale of properties that are inventory or held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business will be subject to a 100% tax, absent the satisfaction of certain safe harbor requirements. Furthermore, and as also noted above, we may not be able to make sufficient distributions to avoid excise taxes applicable to REITs. We also may decide to retain net capital gain we earn from the sale or other disposition of properties and pay income tax directly on such income. In that event, our stockholders would receive a credit for the tax we paid. That is, our stockholders would be treated as if they earned that income and paid the tax on it directly. However, stockholders that are tax-exempt, such as IRAs, charities, or qualified pension plans, would have no benefit from their deemed payment of such tax liability unless they file U.S. federal income tax returns and seek a refund of such tax. Further, a 100% excise tax would be imposed on certain transactions between us and any potential TRSs that are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. We also may be subject to state and local taxes on our income or property, either directly or at the level of the other companies through which we indirectly own our assets. Any taxes we pay would reduce our cash available for distribution to you.

Our TRSs will be subject to corporate-level taxes, and our dealings with our TRSs may be subject to a 100% excise tax.

A REIT may own the stock of one or more subsidiaries it, together with such subsidiaries, elects to treat as TRSs. Our TRSs will be subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income tax on their taxable income.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The after-tax net income of our TRSs would be available for distribution to us. A TRS may hold assets and earn income that would not be qualifying assets or income if held or earned directly by a REIT. A REIT cannot earn qualifying income from the operation of a hotel, motel or similar property, but can earn qualifying rental income if it leases a “qualified lodging facility” to a TRS, which then retains an “eligible independent contractor” to operate the facility. We may use our TRSs generally for other activities as well, such as to hold properties for sale in the ordinary course of a trade or business or to hold assets to conduct activities that we cannot conduct directly as a REIT. A TRS will be subject to applicable U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign income tax on its taxable income, including corporate income tax on the TRS’s income, and is, as a result, less tax efficient than with respect to income we earn directly. In addition, the rules, which are applicable to us as a REIT, as described in the immediately preceding risk factor, also impose a 100% excise tax on certain transactions between us and any of our TRSs if such transactions are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. For example, to the extent that the rent paid by one of our TRSs exceeds an arm’s-length rental amount, such amount would be potentially subject to a 100% excise tax. While we intend that all transactions between us and our TRSs would be conducted on an arm’s-length basis, and therefore, any amounts paid by our TRSs to us would not be subject to the excise tax, no assurance can be given that the IRS would not disagree with such conclusion and levy an excise tax on such transactions.

If our leases to our TRSs are not respected as true leases for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would fail to qualify as a REIT.

To qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy two gross income tests, under which specified percentages of our gross income must be derived from certain sources, such as “rents from real property.” In order for rent paid to us by our TRSs to qualify as “rents from real property” for purposes of the REIT gross income tests, the leases must be respected as true leases for U.S. federal income tax purposes and not be treated as service contracts, joint ventures, or some other type of arrangement. If our leases are not respected as true leases for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would fail to qualify as a REIT, which would materially adversely impact the value of an investment in our securities and in our ability to pay distributions to you.

If our hotel properties are not “qualified lodging facilities” or our “qualified lodging facilities” are not properly leased to a TRS or the managers of such “qualified lodging facilities” do not qualify as “eligible independent contractors,” we could fail to qualify as a REIT.

In general, we cannot earn qualifying income from the operation of any hotel facilities and can only indirectly earn qualifying income from “qualified lodging facilities” on an after-tax basis through leases of such properties to one or more TRSs. A “qualified lodging facility” is a hotel, motel, or other establishment in which more than one-half of the dwelling units are used on a transient basis at which or in connection with which wagering activities are not conducted. Rent paid by a lessee that is a “related party tenant” of ours generally will not be qualifying income for purposes of the two gross income tests applicable to REITs; however, there are exceptions to this related party tenant rule for certain leases of  “qualified lodging facilities” to TRSs. The rent we receive from a TRS that leases “qualified lodging facilities” from us will not be disqualified as qualifying “rents from real property” if the TRS retains an independent management company that qualifies as an “eligible independent contractor” under the Code to operate and manage the hotel property.

An “eligible independent contractor” is an independent contractor that, at the time such contractor enters into a management or other agreement with a TRS to operate a “qualified lodging facility,” is actively engaged in the trade or business of operating “qualified lodging facilities” for any person not related, as defined in the Code, to us or the TRS. Among other requirements, in order to qualify as an independent contractor, a manager must not own, directly or by applying certain ownership attribution provisions of the Code, more than 35% of our outstanding shares of stock, and no person or group of persons can own more than 35% of our outstanding shares and 35% of the ownership interests of the manager (with respect to ownership interests in such managers that are publicly traded, only holders of more than 5% of such ownership interests count towards the 35% test). We anticipate that substantially all of our management contracts will be with management companies affiliated with our sponsor and advisor. The ownership attribution rules that apply for purposes of the 35% thresholds are complex. There can be no assurance that the permitted levels of ownership of our stock attributable to our property managers and their owners will not be exceeded. If that occurs, then our property management companies would not be “eligible independent

45

contractors,” and the rents we receive from our TRSs would fail to qualify for the gross income tests, which could result in our failing to qualify as a REIT. Failure to qualify as a REIT would materially adversely impact the value of an investment in our securities and in our ability to pay distributions to you.

Complying with REIT requirements may force us to forgo and/or liquidate otherwise attractive investment opportunities.

To qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must ensure that we meet the REIT gross income tests annually and that at the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash items, government securities, and qualified real estate assets, including certain mortgage loans and certain kinds of mortgage-related securities. The remainder of our investment in securities (other than government securities, TRSs, qualified REIT subsidiaries, and qualified real estate assets) generally cannot include more than 10% of the outstanding securities by vote or value of any one issuer. In addition, in general, no more than 5% of the value of our assets can consist of the securities (other than government securities, TRSs, qualified REIT subsidiaries, and qualified real estate assets) of any one issuer, and no more than 20% of the value of our total assets for tax years can be represented by securities of one or more TRSs. In addition, not more than 25% of our assets may consist of debt instruments issued by publicly offered REITs that qualify as “real estate assets” only because of the express inclusion of   “debt instruments issued by publicly offered REITs” in the definition of   “real estate assets.” If we fail to comply with these requirements at the end of any calendar quarter other than our first REIT calendar quarter, we must correct the failure within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter or qualify for certain statutory relief provisions to avoid losing our REIT qualification and suffering adverse tax consequences. As a result, we may be required to liquidate from our portfolio or not make otherwise attractive investments in order to maintain our qualification as a REIT. These actions could have the effect of reducing our income and amounts available for distribution to our stockholders.

Recharacterization of sale-leaseback transactions may cause us to lose our REIT status, which would subject us to U.S. federal income tax at corporate rates, which would reduce the amounts available for distribution to you.

We may purchase properties and lease them back to the sellers of such properties. While we will use our best efforts to structure any such sale-leaseback transaction such that the lease will be characterized as a “true lease,” thereby allowing us to be treated as the owner of the property for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the IRS could challenge such characterization. In the event that any such sale-leaseback is challenged and recharacterized as a financing transaction or loan for U.S. federal income tax purposes, deductions for depreciation and cost recovery relating to such property would be disallowed. If a sale-leaseback transaction were so recharacterized, we might fail to satisfy the REIT qualification asset tests or income tests and, consequently, could lose our REIT status effective with the year of recharacterization. Alternatively, the amount of our REIT taxable income could be recalculated, which also might cause us to fail to meet the annual distribution requirement for a taxable year in the event we cannot make a sufficient deficiency distribution.

Legislative or regulatory action could adversely affect the returns to our investors.

In recent years, numerous legislative, judicial and administrative changes have been made in the provisions of U.S. federal income tax laws applicable to investments similar to an investment in shares of our common stock. Additional changes to the tax laws are likely to continue to occur, and we cannot assure you that any such changes will not adversely affect our taxation and our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT or the taxation of a stockholder. Any such changes could have an adverse effect on an investment in our shares or the resale potential of our assets. Our stockholders are urged to consult with their tax advisor with respect to the impact of recent legislation on their investment in our shares and the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in our shares.

Although REITs generally receive better tax treatment than entities taxed as regular corporations, it is possible that future legislation would result in a REIT having fewer tax advantages, and it could become more advantageous for a company that invests in real estate to elect to be treated for U.S. federal income tax

46


TABLE OF CONTENTS

purposes as a regular corporation. As a result, our charter provides our board of directors with the power, under certain circumstances, to revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election and cause us to be taxed as a regular corporation, without the vote of our stockholders. Our board of directors has fiduciary duties to us and could only cause such changes in our tax treatment if it determines in good faith that such changes are in the best interests of the Company.

We urge you to consult with your own tax advisor with respect to the status of any legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in shares of our common stock.

If our operating partnership is classified as a “publicly traded partnership” under the Code, its income may be subject to taxation, which would reduce the cash available for distribution to you and likely result in a loss of our REIT status.

We intend to maintain the status of the operating partnership as a partnership, and not as an association or a publicly traded partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, if the IRS were to successfully challenge the status of the operating partnership as a partnership for such purposes, it would be taxable as a corporation. In such event, this would reduce the amount of distributions that the operating partnership could make to us. This would also likely result in our losing REIT status, and, if so, becoming subject to a corporate level tax on our own income. This would substantially reduce any cash available to pay distributions. In addition, if any of the partnerships or limited liability companies through which the operating partnership owns its properties, in whole or in part, loses its characterization as a partnership and is otherwise not disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it would be subject to taxation as a corporation, thereby reducing distributions to the operating partnership. Such a recharacterization of an underlying property owner could also threaten our ability to maintain our status as a REIT.

Foreign purchasers of our K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares may be subject to FIRPTA tax upon the sale of their shares or upon the payment of a capital gain dividend, which would reduce any gains they would otherwise have on their investment in our shares.

A foreign person disposing of a U.S. real property interest, including shares of a U.S. corporation whose assets consist principally of U.S. real property interests, is generally subject to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980, as amended, which is frequently referred to as FIRPTA, on the gain recognized on the disposition. The FIRPTA tax does not apply, however, to certain non-U.S. pension plans or to the disposition of stock in a REIT if the REIT is “domestically controlled.” A REIT is “domestically controlled” if less than 50% of the REIT’s stock, by value, has been owned directly or indirectly by persons who are not qualifying U.S. persons during a continuous five-year period ending on the date of disposition or, if shorter, during the entire period of the REIT’s existence. We cannot assure you that we will qualify as a “domestically controlled” REIT. If we were to fail to so qualify, gain realized by foreign investors on a sale of our shares would be subject to FIRPTA tax, unless one or more classes of our shares were traded on an established securities market and the foreign investor did not at any time during a specified testing period directly or indirectly own more than 10% of the value of that class of shares.

A foreign investor also may be subject to FIRPTA tax upon the payment of any dividend by us, which dividend is attributable to gain from sales or exchanges of U.S. real property interests, subject to a similar exception for less than 10% holders of a class of shares traded on an established securities market. We encourage you to consult your own tax advisor to determine the tax consequences applicable to you if you are a foreign investor.

Retirement Plan Risks

If our assets are deemed to be ERISA plan assets, the Advisor and we may be exposed to liabilities under Title I of ERISA and the Code.

In some circumstances where an ERISA plan holds an interest in an entity, the assets of the entire entity are deemed to be ERISA plan assets unless an exception applies. This is known as the “look-through rule.” Under those circumstances, the obligations and other responsibilities of plan sponsors, plan fiduciaries and plan administrators, and of parties in interest and disqualified persons, under Title I of

47


TABLE OF CONTENTS​​​​

ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, as applicable, may be applicable, and there may be liability under these and other provisions of ERISA and the Code. We believe that our assets should not be treated as plan assets because the shares should qualify as “publicly-offered securities” that are exempt from the look-through rules under applicable Treasury Regulations. We note, however, that because certain limitations are imposed upon the transferability of shares so that we may qualify as a REIT, and perhaps for other reasons, it is possible that this exemption may not apply. If that is the case, and if the Advisor or we are exposed to liability under ERISA or the Code, our performance and results of operations could be adversely affected. Prior to making an investment in us, you should consult with your legal and other advisors concerning the impact of ERISA and the Code on your investment and our performance.

The SEC standard of conduct for investment professionals could impact our ability to raise additional capital.

On June 5, 2019, the SEC adopted “Regulation Best Interest,” a new standard of conduct for broker-dealers under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that includes: (i) the requirement that broker-dealers refrain from putting the financial or other interests of the broker-dealer ahead of the retail customer, (ii) a new disclosure document, the consumer or client relationship summary, or Form CRS, which would require both investment advisers and broker-dealers to provide disclosure highlighting details about their services and fee structures and (iii) interpretative guidance that establishes a federal fiduciary standard for investment advisers.

Regulation Best Interest is complex and therefore provides a transition period until June 30, 2020 to give firms sufficient time to come into compliance. You are urged to consult with your own advisors regarding the impact that Regulation Best Interest may have on purchasing and holding interests in our company. Regulation Best Interest or any other legislation or regulations that may be introduced or become law in the future could have negative implications on our ability to raise capital from potential investors, including those investing through IRAs.

Item 5.

Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Market Information

As of March 26, 2020, we had approximately 4,643,336 shares of common stock outstanding held by a total of approximately 841 stockholders of record. The number of stockholders is based on the records of DST Systems, Inc., who serves as our transfer agent.

No public trading market currently exists for our shares of common stock and we currently have no plans to list our shares on a national securities exchange. Consequently, there is the risk that our stockholders may not be able to sell their shares at a time or price acceptable to them. Unless we list our shares on a national securities exchange, we do not expect that a public market for the shares will develop.

Pursuant to our Public Offering, we are publicly offering K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares, at an offering price of  $10.00 per K Share, $9.30 per K-I Share and $10.00 per K-T Share in the primary offering, and $9.50 per K Share, $9.50 per K-I Share and $9.50 per K-T Share pursuant to our DRIP.

To assist the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) members and their associated persons that participated in our public offering of common stock, pursuant to NASD Conduct Rule 2340, we disclose in each annual report distributed to stockholders a per share estimated value of the shares, the method by which it was developed, and the date of the data used to develop the estimated value. In addition, PHA will prepare annual statements of estimated share values to assist fiduciaries of retirement plans subject to the annual reporting requirements of ERISA in the preparation of their reports relating to an investment in our shares. For these purposes, our board of directors, at the recommendation of the audit committee, which is comprised solely of independent directors, unanimously approved and established an estimated NAV per share of  $10.00 per each of the K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares as of March 31, 2019 (the “NAV Pricing Date”).

The estimated NAV per share of each of our K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares is based on the estimated value of our assets less the estimated value of our liabilities divided by the number of shares outstanding on a diluted basis, calculated as of the NAV Pricing Date.

The estimated NAV per share was determined after consultation with PHA and Robert A. Stanger & Co, Inc., an independent third-party valuation firm, the engagement of which was approved by the audit committee. The audit committee, pursuant to authority delegated by our board of directors, was responsible for the oversight of the valuation process, including the review and approval of the valuation process and methodology used to determine our estimated NAV per share, the consistency of the valuation and appraisal methodologies with real estate industry standards and practices and the reasonableness of the assumptions used in the valuations and appraisals. The valuation was performed in accordance with the provisions of Practice Guideline 2013-01, Valuations of Publicly Registered Non-Listed REITs, issued by the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (“IPA”) in April 2013, in addition to SEC guidance. FINRA rules provide no guidance on the methodology an issuer must use to determine its estimated value per share. As with any valuation methodology, our independent valuation firm’s methodology is based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that may not be accurate or complete. Different parties with different assumptions and estimates could derive a different estimated value per share, and these differences could be significant. The estimated NAV per share is not audited and does not represent the fair value of our assets or liabilities according to GAAP. Accordingly, with respect to the estimated value per share, we can give no assurance that:

a stockholder would be able to resell his or her shares at the estimated NAV per share;

stockholder would ultimately realize distributions per share equal to the estimated NAV per share upon liquidation of our assets and settlement of our liabilities or a sale of the company;

our shares of common stock would trade at the estimated NAV per share on a national securities exchange;

49


TABLE OF CONTENTS

an independent third-party appraiser or other third-party valuation firm would agree with the estimated NAV per share; or

the methodology used to estimate our value per share would be acceptable to FINRA or for compliance with ERISA reporting requirements.

Further, the value of our shares will fluctuate over time in response to developments related to individual assets in the portfolio and the management of those assets and in response to the real estate and finance markets. We expect to engage an independent valuation firm to update the estimated NAV per share at least annually.

The latest estimated NAV per shares were published before the COVID-19 pandemic, and may differ significantly from our actual estimated NAV per share until such time as sufficient information is available and analyzed, the financial impact is fully evaluated, and the appropriate adjustment is made to our estimated NAV per share, as determined by the board of directors. Any resulting disparity may be to the detriment of a purchaser of our shares. We expect to release updated estimated NAV per shares calculated as of March 31, 2020, which may be lower than the current estimated NAV per shares.

For a full description of the methodologies used to value our assets and liabilities in connection with the calculation of the estimated NAV per share of each of our share classes, see the prospectus contained in our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-217578), as may be amended or supplemented from time to time.

Distribution Information

We elected to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2018. To qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute 90% of our annual taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and by excluding net capital gains, to our stockholders. Generally, distributions that our stockholders receive will be taxed as ordinary income to the extent they are from current or accumulated earnings and profits. To the extent that we pay distributions, and such distributions exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess distributions will be treated first as a return of capital to the extent of a stockholder’s tax basis in his or her shares and then as capital gain. Our charter does not restrict us from paying distributions from any particular source, including proceeds from securities offerings. We have not established a minimum distribution level.

We authorized payment of distributions to the holders of K Shares based on daily record dates for each day during the period commencing July 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019 and to the holders of K-I Shares and K-T Shares commencing October 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019. The distributions were calculated at a rate of  $0.00016438356 per K Share, K-I Share and K-T Share per day, which if paid each day over a 365-day period is equivalent to a 6.00% annualized distribution rate based on a distribution rate of  $10.00 per share of K Shares, $10.00 per share of K-I Shares and $10.00 per share of K-T Shares. There were no distributions accrued or paid for Class A common stock as of December 31, 2019.

For additional information on our distributions, see Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Distributions.”

As a result of the potential impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on our business, we expect that the board of directors will reconsider our current distribution policy and may take further action with

TABLE OF CONTENTS

respect to distributions of our common stock, and could consider eliminating, suspending, or significantly reducing the payment of distributions until more information regarding the effect of the virus and its duration is available. We intend to pay quarterly distributions with respect to the quarter ended March 31, 2020 with operating cash flow, consistent with prior distributions. Our board of directors will make determinations as to the payment of future distributions on a quarter by quarter basis; however, distributions will continue to accrue pursuant to our charter.

Use of Proceeds

From the commencement of the Public Offering through December 31, 2019, we sold 1,448,797 K Shares at a weighted average price of  $9.99 per share for gross proceeds of  $14,470,247, 488,277 K-I Shares at a weighted average price of  $9.30 per share for gross proceeds of  $4,543,206, 45,540 K-T Shares at a weighted average price of  $10.00 per share for gross proceeds of  $455,400, for total gross proceeds of $19,468,853 in the Public Offering. During the same period, pursuant to the DRIP, we issued 2,958 K Shares to investors at a weighted average price of  $9.50 per K Share for aggregate proceeds of  $28,102, 3,431 K-I Shares at a weighted average price of  $9.50 per K-I Share for aggregate proceeds of  $32,596 and 66 K-T Shares at a weighted average price of  $9.50 per K-T Share for aggregate proceeds of  $630.

From commencement of the Public Offering through December 31, 2019, we had incurred $1,589,880 of selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees in connection with the Public Offering, which were paid for with proceeds from the issuance of A Shares to THR.

From inception through December 31, 2019, we recognized selling commissions, dealer manager fees, and organization and other offering costs in the Private Offering as follows:

Type of Expense Amount Amount Estimated/Actual
Selling commissions and dealer manager fees $ 1,058,501 Actual
Other organization and offering costs 1,083,912 Actual
Total $ 2,142,413

The amounts above were charged against additional paid in capital on the balance sheet to the extent that the total organization and offering costs recognized would not exceed 15% of gross proceeds from the Private Offering.

From inception through December 31, 2019, we recognized selling commissions, dealer manager fees, stockholder servicing fees, and organization and other offering costs in the Public Offering as follows:

Type of Expense Amount Amount Estimated/Actual
Selling commissions, stockholder servicing fees and dealer manager <br>fees $ 1,589,880 Actual
Other organization and offering costs 1,668,148 Actual
Total $ 3,258,028

The amounts above were charged against additional paid in capital on the balance sheet to the extent that the total organization and offering costs recognized would not exceed 15% of gross proceeds from the Public Offering.

As of December 31, 2019, the net offering proceeds to us from our Private Offering and our Public Offering, after deducting the total expenses incurred as described above, were approximately $31,902,695.

Subsequent to December 31, 2019 and through March 26, 2020, we sold approximately 617,467 K Shares at a weighted average price of  $9.95 per share for gross proceeds of  $6,141,798, approximately 137,312 K-I Shares at a weighted average price of  $9.30 per share for gross proceeds of  $1,277,000, and approximately 2,000 K-T Shares at a weighted average price of  $10.00 per share for gross proceeds of  $20,000, for total gross proceeds of  $7,438,798 in the Public Offering. During the same period, pursuant to the DRIP, we issued 2,926 K Shares to investors at a price of  $9.50 per K Share for gross proceeds of  $27,797,

TABLE OF CONTENTS​

2,669 K-I Shares at a price of  $9.50 per K-I Share for gross proceeds of  $25,354 and 373 K-T Shares to investors at a price of  $9.50 per K-T Share for gross proceeds of  $3,545.

We expect to continue to use the net proceeds from our Public Offering to acquire and own a diverse portfolio of hospitality properties consisting primarily of select-service, extended-stay, and compact full-service hotel properties throughout the United States. We may also make investments in distressed debt and preferred equity where the intent is to acquire hotel properties underlying such investments. As of December 31, 2019, we had an ownership interest in three hotel properties for a total purchase price of $34,575,340, inclusive of acquisition and closing costs. These hotel property acquisitions were funded from net proceeds from our Private Offering and borrowings.

Share Repurchase Program

We have a share repurchase program that may provide an opportunity for stockholders to have their shares of common stock repurchased by us, subject to certain restrictions and limitations. On March 20, 2020, our board of directors decided to temporarily suspend repurchases under our share repurchase program effective with repurchase requests that would otherwise be processed in April 2020 due to the negative impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the Company’s portfolio to date. However, we will continue to process repurchases due to death in accordance with the terms of our share repurchase program. Refer to Note 9 — “Stockholders’ Equity” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for a discussion of the details of our share repurchase program.

During the three months ended December 31, 2019, we fulfilled repurchase requests and repurchased K Shares pursuant to our share repurchase program as follows:

Period Total Number of<br>Shares Requested to <br>be Repurchased(1) Average Price <br>Paid per Share Total Numbers of <br>Shares Purchased as <br>Part of Publicly <br>Announced Plans and <br>Programs Approximate Dollar <br>Value of Shares <br>Available that may yet <br>be Repurchased under <br>the Program
October 2019 $ (2)
November 2019 $ 10.00 4,278 ​<br> (2)
December 2019 $ ​<br> (2)
4,278

(1)

We generally repurchase shares on the last business day of the month following the end of each fiscal quarter in which repurchase requests are received. The shares repurchased in November 2019 related to repurchase requests received during the prior quarter. There were no shares requested to be repurchased during the quarter ended December 31, 2019.

(2)

The number of shares that may be redeemed pursuant to the share repurchase program during any calendar year is limited to 5.0% of the weighted average number of K Shares, K-I Shares, and K-T Shares outstanding during the trailing 12 months prior to the end of the fiscal quarter for which repurchases are being paid (provided, however, that while shares subject to a repurchase requested upon the death of a stockholder will be included in calculating the maximum number of shares that may be repurchased, shares subject to a repurchase requested upon the death of a stockholder will not be subject to the percentage cap).

During the year ended December 31, 2019, we repurchased approximately $65,906 of K Shares, which represented all repurchase requests received in good order and eligible for repurchase through the December 31, 2019 repurchase date. As December 31, 2019, we had no outstanding and unfulfilled repurchase requests. No K-I Shares or K-T Shares were requested to be, or were, repurchased during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. See also the Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements section preceding Part I of this Annual Report. As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Procaccianti Hotel REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, our Operating Partnership, and to their respective subsidiaries.

Overview

We were formed on August 24, 2016, under the laws of Maryland to acquire and own a diverse portfolio of hospitality properties consisting primarily of select-service, extended-stay and compact full-service hotel properties throughout the United States. As of December 31, 2019, we owned an interest in three select-service hotel properties. We elected to be taxed as, and currently operate as, a REIT under the Code, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2018.

Subscription proceeds from K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares in our Private Offering and our Public Offering, as discussed below, have been and will be applied to investments in hotel properties or real estate-related investments relating to hotel properties. We will experience a relative increase in liquidity as we receive additional subscriptions for shares and a relative decrease in liquidity as we spend net offering proceeds in connection with the acquisition and operation of our hotel properties. The number of properties and other assets we will acquire will depend upon the number of shares sold and the resulting amount of net proceeds available for investment in properties and other assets.

We intend to make reserve allocations as necessary to aid our objective of preserving capital for our investors by supporting the maintenance and viability of properties we acquire in the future. If reserves and any other available income become insufficient to cover our operating expenses and liabilities, it may be necessary to obtain additional funds by borrowing, refinancing properties or liquidating our investment in one or more properties. There is no assurance that such funds will be available, or if available, that the terms will be acceptable to us.

On September 30, 2016, we commenced a Private Offering of shares of Class K common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and Units, which are comprised of four K Shares and one share of Class A common stock, each $0.01 par value per share, for $10.00 per K Share and $50.00 per Unit, with a targeted maximum offering of   $150,000,000 in K Shares (including K Shares sold as part of a Unit) to accredited investors only pursuant to a confidential private placement memorandum exempt from registration under the Securities Act. PHA and its affiliates agreed to purchase shares of Class A common stock (separate from the purchase of Units), at $10.00 per share (A Shares). We terminated our Private Offering prior to the commencement of the Public Offering, and, as of such termination, received approximately $15,582,755 in gross proceeds from the sale of K Shares and A Shares, including Units, in the Private Offering. Of the $15,582,755 in gross proceeds received, $2,954,095 was from the sale of shares of A Shares to THR to fund organization and offering expenses associated with the K Shares and Units.

On August 14, 2018, the SEC declared our Registration Statement on Form S-11 effective, and we commenced our Public Offering to offer up to $550,000,000 in shares of common stock, including $500,000,000 in shares of common stock pursuant to the primary offering, consisting of the following three share classes: K Shares, at an initial offering price of  $10.00 per share, K-I Shares, at an initial offering price of  $9.50 per share, and K-T Shares, at an initial offering price of  $10.00 per share and $50,000,000 in shares of common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, at $9.50 per K-I Share, $9.50 per K Share and $9.50 per K-T Share. On November 16, 2018, we revised the offering price per K-I Share from $9.50 to $9.30 per K-I Share, exclusive of the DRIP, which remained at $9.50 per K-I Share. Since the commencement of the Public Offering and as of December 31, 2019, we received approximately $19,530,181 in gross proceeds from the sale of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares in the Public Offering, including shares issued pursuant to the DRIP. Additionally, we received $2,190,000 from the sale of A Shares to THR. We intend to use the proceeds from A Shares to pay the selling commissions, dealer manager fees, stockholder servicing fees, and other organizational and offering expenses related to the K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares sold in the primary offering portion of our Public Offering. In addition, we will allocate proceeds from the sale of A shares in amounts that represent the difference between (i) the

53


TABLE OF CONTENTS

applicable estimated NAV per K-I Share and the offering price of K-I Shares sold in our primary offering and (ii) any discount to the initial offering price of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares arising from reduced or waived selling commissions (other than reduced selling commissions for volume discounts) or dealer manager fees.

As of March 26, 2020, we had sold 3,328,016 K Shares, 631,699 K-I Shares, 47,989 K-T Shares and 537,410 A Shares in all our offerings for gross proceeds of  $33,066,604, $5,878,256, $479,675 and $5,374,095, respectively, and $44,798,630 in the aggregate, including 5,884 K Shares, 6,100 K-I Shares and 439 K-T Shares issued pursuant to our DRIP, for gross offering proceeds of  $118,024.

We expect to sell the shares of our common stock offered in the Public Offering over a two-year period. If we have not sold all of the shares to be offered in the Public Offering within two years from the effective date of the Registration Statement, we may continue the Public Offering until August 14, 2021. We may, in our sole discretion, terminate the Public Offering at any time.

If our board of directors determines that it is in our best interest, we may conduct follow-on public offerings upon the termination of the Public Offering. Our charter does not restrict our ability to conduct offerings in the future.

S2K Financial LLC is the dealer manager for our offering and is responsible for the distribution of our common stock in our offering. PHA is our advisor and is an affiliate of our Sponsor. Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, PHA manages our day-to-day operations and our portfolio of properties and real estate-related assets. PHA sources and presents investment opportunities to our board of directors and provides investment management, marketing, investor relations and other administrative services on our behalf. We have no paid employees and rely on PHA to provide substantially all of our services. Pursuant to our Advisory Agreement with PHA, we will reimburse PHA for costs incurred in providing these administrative services. PHA will be required to allocate the cost of such services to us based on objective factors such as total assets, revenues and/or time allocations. At least annually, our board of directors will review the amount of administrative services expense reimbursable to PHA to determine whether such amounts are reasonable in relation to the services provided. As of December 31, 2019, PHA has forfeited its right to collect reimbursement for providing these administrative services provided through such date.

In addition, pursuant to provisions contained in our charter and in the Advisory Agreement, our board of directors has the ongoing responsibility of limiting our total operating expenses (as defined in our charter) for the trailing four consecutive quarters to amounts that do not exceed the greater of 2% of our average invested assets (as defined in our charter) or 25% of our net income (as defined in our charter), calculated in the manner set forth in our charter, unless a majority of the directors (including a majority of the independent directors) has made a finding that, based on unusual and non-recurring factors that they deem sufficient, a higher level of expenses is justified. In the event that a majority of the directors (including a majority of the independent directors) does not determine that such excess expenses are justified, PHA must reimburse to us the amount of the excess expenses paid or incurred (the “Excess Amount”).

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, the twelve months ended March 31, 2019, the twelve months ended June 30, 2019, the twelve months ended September 30, 2019 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, our total operating expenses exceeded the greater of 2% of our average invested assets and 25% of our net income, or Excess Amounts. We incurred operating expenses of approximately $1,241,562 and incurred an Excess Amount of approximately $1,169,242 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018. We incurred operating expenses of approximately $1,520,345 and incurred an Excess Amount of approximately $1,273,355 during the twelve months ended March 31, 2019. We incurred operating expenses of approximately $1,567,373 and incurred an Excess Amount of approximately $1,143,625 during the twelve months ended June 30, 2019. We incurred operating expenses of approximately $1,529,939 and incurred an Excess Amount of approximately $760,883 during the twelve months ended September 30, 2019. We incurred operating expenses of approximately $94,280 and incurred an Excess Amount of approximately $1,445,599 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019. Our board of directors (including a majority of our independent directors) determined that the Excess Amount for each of the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019, September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019, was justified as unusual and non-recurring as we are in the early stages of raising and deploying capital.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Because we are prohibited from operating hotel properties pursuant to certain tax laws relating to our qualification as a REIT, the entities through which we own hotel properties will lease the hotel properties to one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). A TRS is a corporate subsidiary of a REIT that jointly elects, with the REIT, to be treated as a TRS of the REIT, and that pays federal income tax at regular corporate rates on its taxable income. The TRSs will enter into any franchise agreements to brand our hotels and will generally enter into property management agreements with one or more affiliated property management companies. These may include TPG Hotels & Resorts, Inc., an affiliate of our Sponsor and PHA, or TPG Hotels & Resorts, Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiaries, which we collectively refer to as TPG, or other affiliates or designees of TPG. We expect our property manager will operate and manage all or substantially all of our hotel properties.

We anticipate that we will acquire properties with property management agreements that can be terminated with little or no cost. In such cases, our TRSs will enter into property management agreements with one or more property management companies affiliated with our Sponsor. We expect our property manager will operate and manage all or substantially all of our hotel properties. We collectively refer to TPG and other property management companies affiliated with our Sponsor as our property manager.

PHA and affiliated property managers will be entitled to receive fees during the acquisition and operational stages of the Company, and PHA may be eligible to receive fees during the liquidation stage of the Company. S2K Financial LLC has received and will continue to receive fees for services related to offering our securities.

We elected to be taxed as, and currently qualify as, a REIT under the Code commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2018. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent that we distribute qualifying dividends to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year following the year we initially elect to be taxed as a REIT, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Failing to qualify as a REIT could materially and adversely affect our net income and results of operations.

Recent Developments

COVID-19 Impact

The negative impact on room demand within our portfolio stemming from the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is significant. We experienced an initial decline in hotel revenue that began in February in a limited number of markets. However, with the increased spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) across the globe, the impact has accelerated rapidly, and we are seeing a much greater effect on occupancy and RevPAR throughout our hotel portfolio. We expect the occupancy and RevPAR reduction associated with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) to continue as we are experiencing significant reservation cancellations as well as a significant reduction in new reservations relative to prior expectations. While intense efforts to reduce operating costs are underway, we cannot be certain as to what level of savings can be achieved overall to mitigate the material decline in hotel revenues we are experiencing. The federal government has announced its intention to provide various forms of aid to the industries negatively affected by the virus, including the hospitality industry, but we cannot be certain that such aid will be rendered or that any amount will help mitigate the material reduction in revenue we may experience. Until such time as the virus is contained or eradicated and business and personal travel return to more customary levels, we expect to see substantial erosion in hotel cash flow. There may also be lasting effects related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). For some period related to a slowdown in the U.S. economy, increased labor costs, increased operating costs, reduced air travel or other unknown factors which could materially reduce our operating cash flow. Further, the market and economic challenges associated with COVID-19 could materially affect (i) the value and performance of our investments, (ii) our ability to pay future distributions, if any, (iii) the availability or terms of financings, (iv) our ability to make scheduled principal and interest payments, and (v) our ability to refinance any outstanding debt when contractually due.

Market Outlook

The hospitality industry has been severely disrupted due to travel and other policy restrictions related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and as a result, our hotels have experienced steep and significant declines in occupancy. These developments have led to material and significant declines in anticipated revenue for the Company for the month of March 2020 and we expect the same to continue into at least the second quarter of 2020.

We are deeply committed to the overall health and safety of all hotel associates and guests and will continue to work closely with our management company to ensure appropriate measures are in place as the situation evolves. During periods of dramatic changes in hotel demand and travel, we will rely on our experience and the hotel brand protocols, our experienced leadership team to deploy best practices across our portfolio and take thoughtful steps to attempt to mitigate revenue declines and preserve our assets to the best extent possible. Given the size and geographic diversification of our portfolio of rooms-focused hotels, we believe that we will be well positioned to emerge from this period when the pandemic wanes in the future.

Review of our Investment Policies

Our board of directors, including our independent directors, has reviewed our investment policies described in this Annual Report and our Registration Statement and determined that they are in the best interests of our stockholders because: (1) they increase the likelihood that we will be able to acquire a diversified portfolio of income producing properties, thereby reducing risk in our portfolio; (2) there are sufficient property acquisition opportunities with the attributes that we seek; (3) the executive officers, directors and affiliates of PHA have expertise with the type of real estate investments we seek; and (4) borrowings should enable us to purchase assets and earn income more quickly, thereby increasing our likelihood of generating income for our stockholders and preserving stockholder capital.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our accounting policies have been established to conform with GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. We believe the following critical accounting policies govern the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements, which should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of our accounting policies and procedures included in Note 2 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report.

Income Taxes

We elected to be taxed as, and currently qualify as, a REIT under the Code and have operated as such commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2018. To qualify as a REIT for tax purposes, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to our stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). We must also meet certain asset and income tests, as well as other requirements. As a REIT, we will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent we make distributions to our stockholders equal to or in excess of our taxable income. We will monitor the business and transactions that may potentially impact our REIT status. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year following 2018, we would be subject to U.S. federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally would not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory

TABLE OF CONTENTS

provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to our stockholders. However, we are, and intend to continue to be, organized and operated in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT.

We lease our hotel properties to our wholly owned TRSs that are subject to federal, state and local income taxes.

We account for income taxes of our TRSs using the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. We record a valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets that are not expected to be realized.

We have reviewed tax positions under GAAP guidance that clarify the relevant criteria and approach for the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. A tax position may only be recognized in the financial statements if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination. We had no material uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2019.

The preparation of our various tax returns requires the use of estimates for federal and state income tax purposes. These estimates may be subjected to review by the respective taxing authorities. A revision to an estimate may result in an assessment of additional taxes, penalties and interest. At this time, a range in which our estimates may change is not expected to be material. We will account for interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax provisions in the current period’s results of operations, if necessary. We have not been assessed interest or penalties by any major tax jurisdictions. We have tax years 2016 through 2019 remaining subject to examination by various federal and state tax jurisdictions.

Real Estate Purchase Price Allocation

Upon the acquisition of hotel properties, we evaluate whether the acquisition is a business combination or an asset acquisition. For both business combinations and asset acquisitions, we allocate the purchase price of properties to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings, improvements, and furniture, fixtures and equipment, and any assumed debt based on their fair value. For asset acquisitions, we capitalize transaction costs and allocate the purchase price using a relative fair value method allocating all accumulated costs. For business combinations, we expense transaction costs associated as incurred and allocate the purchase price based on the estimated fair value of each separately identifiable asset and liability.

The tangible assets acquired consist of land, buildings, improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment. We utilize independent appraisals, as well as hotel construction costs and other available market data, to assist in the determination of the fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property.

We determine the fair value of any assumed debt by calculating the net present value of the scheduled mortgage payments using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers, including using a discounted cash flow analysis that uses appropriate discount or capitalization rates and available market information where applicable. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. Any difference between the fair value and stated value of the assumed debt is recorded as a discount or premium and amortized over the remaining life of the loan as interest expense.

In allocating the purchase price of each of our properties, we make assumptions and use various estimates, including, but not limited to, the estimated useful lives of the assets, the cost of replacing certain assets and discount rates used to determine present values. Many of these estimates are obtained from independent third-party appraisals. However, we are responsible for the source and use of these estimates. These estimates are based on judgment and subject to being imprecise; accordingly, if different estimates and assumptions were derived, the valuation of the various categories of our hotel properties or related intangibles could in turn result in a difference in the depreciation or amortization expense recorded in our consolidated financial statements. These variances could be material to our results of operations and financial condition.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles, including franchise agreements with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently issued accounting pronouncements are described in Note 2 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report.

Results of Operations

The discussion that follows is based on our consolidated results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The ability to compare one period to another is significantly affected by acquisitions completed during those periods. We commenced real estate operations on March 29, 2018, in connection with our first investment, a 51% ownership interest in two select-service hotel properties, the Springhill Suites Wilmington and the Staybridge Suites St. Petersburg, through our joint venture with PCF. We completed our second investment, a 100% fee simple interest in the Hotel Indigo Traverse City, a select-service hotel property, on August 15, 2018. As of December 31, 2019, we had not made any additional investments in hotel properties. Therefore, our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 are not directly comparable to those for the year ended December 31, 2018. In general, we expect that our income and expenses related to our real estate investment portfolio will increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related investments.

This section of this Form 10-K generally discusses 2019 and 2018 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2019 and 2018. Discussions of 2017 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2018 and 2017 that are not included in this Form 10-K can be found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

Factors That May Influence Results of Operations

We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, other than national economic conditions affecting real estate generally and those risks listed in Part I Item 1A “Risk Factors” herein, including but not limited to coronavirus (COVID-19), that may be reasonably expected to have a material impact, favorable or unfavorable, on revenues or income from the acquisition, management and operation of our properties. The impact of COVID-19 on our future results could be significant and will largely depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information, which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19, the success of actions taken to contain or treat the COVID-19 and reactions by consumers, companies, governmental entities and capital markets.

Rooms revenues

We expect the majority of our revenues to be derived from the operation of our hotel properties. Rooms revenues are the product of the number of rooms sold and the average daily room rate. Rooms revenues increased to $15,142,022 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $8,982,939 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The $6,159,083 increase is primarily due to the fact that we owned all three of our hotel properties during the full twelve-month period ended December 31, 2019, but owned the Springhill Suites Wilmington and Staybridge Suites St. Petersburg properties for only nine months and three days and owned the Hotel Indigo Traverse City for only four months and fifteen days during 2018.

Food and beverage revenues

Food and beverage revenues increased to $2,053,282 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $962,471 for the year ended December 31, 2018. These amounts are comprised of revenues realized in hotel

58


TABLE OF CONTENTS

food and beverage outlets as well as catering events. The $1,090,811 increase is primarily due to the fact that we owned all three of our hotel properties during the full twelve-month period ended December 31, 2019, but owned the Springhill Suites Wilmington and Staybridge Suites St. Petersburg properties for only nine months and three days and owned the Hotel Indigo Traverse City for only four months and fifteen days during 2018.

Other operating revenues

Other operating revenues increased to $438,730 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $210,566 for the year ended December 31, 2018. These amounts include ancillary hotel revenues and other items primarily driven by occupancy such as telephone/internet, parking, gift shops, and other guest services. The $228,164 increase is primarily due to the fact that we owned all three of our hotel properties during the full twelve-month period ended December 31, 2019, but owned the Springhill Suites Wilmington and Staybridge Suites St. Petersburg properties for only nine months and three days and owned the Hotel Indigo Traverse City for only four months and fifteen days during 2018.

Rooms expenses

Rooms expenses were $3,030,502 and $1,944,980 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The $1,085,522 increase corresponds to an increase in rooms revenues primarily driven by the fact that we owned all three of our hotel properties during the full twelve-month period ended December 31, 2019, but owned the Springhill Suites Wilmington and Staybridge Suites St. Petersburg properties for only nine months and three days and owned the Hotel Indigo Traverse City for only four months and fifteen days during 2018. Rooms expenses are primarily driven by the corresponding revenue account and occupancy.

Food and beverage expenses

Food and beverage expenses were $1,419,678 and $646,625 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The $773,053 increase corresponds to an increase in food and beverage revenues primarily driven by the fact that we owned all three of our hotel properties during the full twelve-month period ended December 31, 2019, but owned the Springhill Suites Wilmington and Staybridge Suites St. Petersburg properties for only nine months and three days and owned the Hotel Indigo Traverse City for only four months and fifteen days during 2018.

Other property expenses

Other property expenses were $5,508,700 and $3,279,692 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The $2,229,008 increase corresponds to an increase in other property revenues primarily driven by the fact that we owned all three of our hotel properties during the full twelve-month period ended December 31, 2019, but owned the Springhill Suites Wilmington and Staybridge Suites St. Petersburg properties for only nine months and three days and owned the Hotel Indigo Traverse City for only four months and fifteen days during 2018.

Property management fees to affiliates

Property management fees to affiliates were $530,307 and $304,799 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Property management fees are property level expenses equal to 3% of the hotel properties’ gross revenues and we expect them to fluctuate accordingly. The $225,508 increase in property management fees to affiliates was primarily due to the acquisition of the Hotel Indigo Traverse City on August 15, 2018, which resulted in an increase in gross revenues.

Corporate, general and administrative expenses

Corporate, general and administrative expenses were $1,445,599 and $1,313,824 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Corporate general and administrative expenses consist primarily of transfer agent fees, fees paid to the board of directors, audit and tax fees, and other professional services fees. We expect that corporate general and administrative expenses will increase as we acquire additional hotel properties, but will decrease as a percentage of total revenue.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Other fees to affiliates

Other fees to affiliates were $352,288 and $724,933 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Other fees to affiliates include asset management fees due to PHA that are paid quarterly in arrears equal to one-fourth of 0.75% of the adjusted cost of our assets. Asset management fees increased to $352,288 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $186,953 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The $165,335 increase in asset management fees is primarily driven by the fact that we owned all three of our hotel properties during the full twelve-month period ended December 31, 2019, but owned the Springhill Suites Wilmington and Staybridge Suites St. Petersburg properties for only nine months and three days and owned the Hotel Indigo Traverse City for only four months and fifteen days during 2018. We have deferred all payments of the quarterly asset management fees due to PHA until adequate cash flow is available. Other fees to affiliates also include acquisition fees due to an affiliate for providing services including selecting, evaluating and acquiring potential investments. This fee is equal to 1.5% of the Gross Contract Purchase Price of an investment (as defined in the Advisory Agreement). Payment of the acquisition fees is deferred until the occurrence of a liquidation event. There were no acquisition fees incurred for the year ended December 31, 2019. Acquisition fees incurred for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $537,980 and related to both the purchase of a 51% interest in PCF and the acquisition of the Hotel Indigo Traverse City.

Acquisition costs

Acquisition costs include closing costs associated with the purchase of hotel properties. There were no acquisition costs for the year ended December 31, 2019. Acquisition costs of  $302,380 relating to the purchase of a 51% interest in PCF were expensed as incurred, for the year ended December 31, 2018, in accordance with Topic 810. Acquisition costs incurred as a result of the Hotel Indigo Traverse City acquisition on August 15, 2018, were capitalized in accordance with Topic 805.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $2,247,028 and $1,304 207 the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These amounts include depreciation on our hotel buildings, improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment, along with amortization of our franchise fees and certain intangibles.

Gain on acquisition

There were no gains on acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 2019. The $42,026 gain on acquisition for the year ended December 31, 2018, represents the gain incurred as a result of purchase of the 51% interest in PCF. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition under the VIE model and therefore the difference in the fair value of the net assets acquired and consideration paid is recognized as a gain or loss. As any subsequent investments will be independent of this transaction, we cannot predict any future gains or losses but we will evaluate any future acquisitions accordingly.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net, was $2,187,061 and $1,424,739 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Interest expense represents monthly fixed rate payments on the outstanding mortgage notes payable balance. Interest expense also includes accrued interest on the outstanding asset management fees, acquisition fees and promissory notes from PHA and our Sponsor. Also included in interest expense are the amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts. Interest expense and amortization of debt issuance cost increased primarily due to the fact that we owned all three of our hotel properties during the full twelve-month period ended December 31, 2019, but owned the Springhill Suites Wilmington and Staybridge Suites St. Petersburg properties for only nine months and three days and owned the Hotel Indigo Traverse City for only four months and fifteen days during 2018. This increase was offset by a decrease in the interest rate relating to the Hotel Indigo Traverse City mortgage note payable upon completion of the $2,744,000 loan prepayment in February 2019. The increase was additionally offset by interest income on interest-bearing cash accounts totaling $25,328 and $0 for years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which is presented as a reduction of the total interest expense on the consolidated income statement.

Unrealized loss on interest rate swap

Unrealized loss on our interest rate swap was $173,204 and $146,690 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Income tax benefit or expense

We had an income tax expense of $42,727 and an income tax benefit of  $22,266 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The income tax expenses and benefits are related to taxable income at the TRSs.

Net income or loss

For the year ended December 31, 2019, we had net income of  $696,940 compared to a net loss of $1,172,601 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in net income of  $1,869,541 over the comparable prior year period is due to the operations of the Hotel Indigo Traverse City and PCF for the entire year ended December 31, 2019, compared to the operations of the Hotel Indigo Traverse City for four months and fifteen days and PCF for nine months and three days during the year ended December 31, 2018. Also contributing to the increase in net income are acquisition costs and related fees that occurred in 2018.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest

Net income relating to noncontrolling interest for the year ended December 31, 2019, was $593,988 which reflects twelve months of ownership interest in PCF. Net income relating to noncontrolling interest for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $504,580, which reflects nine months and three days of ownership interest in PCF. This amount includes net income attributable to a third-party’s 49% ownership interest in PCF and will fluctuate accordingly with any increases or decreases to net income at PCF.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The negative impact on room demand within our portfolio stemming from the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is significant. We experienced an initial decline in hotel revenue that began in February 2020 in our markets. However, the increased spread of COVID-19 across the globe has accelerated rapidly, and we are seeing a much greater effect on occupancy and RevPAR throughout our hotel portfolio.

While intense efforts to reduce operating costs are underway, we cannot be certain as to what level of savings can be achieved overall to mitigate the material decline in hotel revenues that we are experiencing.

In anticipation of a significant strain on the hotels’ cash flows we have already implemented cost reduction procedures at all of our hotels including significant reduction in staffing levels, discussions with vendors to extend payments terms and discount current pricing, discussions with our lenders to defer loan interest payments for a period of three to six months, and utilize provisions from the recently passed CARES Act to provide additional liquidity from federally supported loan programs.

In addition, the board of directors will reconsider our current distribution policy and may take further action with respect to distributions for our common stock, and could consider eliminating, suspending, or significantly reducing the payment of distributions until more information regarding the effect of the virus and its duration is available. We intend to pay quarterly distributions with respect to the quarter ended March 31, 2020 with operating cash flow, consistent with prior distributions.

We have also temporarily suspended repurchases under our share repurchase program effective with repurchase requests that would otherwise be processed in April 2020.

In a normal operating environment, our sources of funds are primarily the net proceeds of our Public Offering, funds equal to amounts reinvested in the DRIP, operating cash flows and borrowings. Our principal demands for funds will be for acquisition costs, including the purchase price of any properties, loans and securities we acquire, improvement costs, the payment of our operating and administrative expenses, continuing debt service obligations and distributions to and repurchases from our stockholders. Generally,

61


TABLE OF CONTENTS

we will fund our acquisitions from the net proceeds of the Public Offering. We intend to acquire our assets with cash, including proceeds from the Public Offering, and mortgage or other debt. PHA and its affiliates have agreed to purchase A Shares in a private placement in order to provide us with funds sufficient to pay the selling commissions, dealer manager fees, stockholder servicing fees, and other organizational and offering expenses related to the K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares sold in the primary offering portion of our Public Offering. In addition, we will allocate proceeds from the sale of A Shares in amounts that represent the difference between (i) the applicable estimated NAV per K-I Share and the offering price of K-I Shares sold in our primary offering and (ii) any discount to the initial offering price of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares arising from reduced or waived selling commissions (other than reduced selling commissions for volume discounts) or dealer manager fees.

In addition, in a normal operating environment, we expect to use debt financing as a source of capital. Our charter provides that the maximum amount of our total indebtedness shall not exceed 300% of our total “net assets” (as defined in accordance with NASAA REIT Guidelines) as of the date of any borrowing, which is generally expected to be approximately75% of the cost of our investments; however, we may exceed that limit if approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report following such borrowing along with justification for exceeding such limit. This charter limitation, however, does not apply to individual real estate assets or investments. In addition, it is currently our intention to limit our aggregate borrowings to 50% of the aggregate fair market value of our assets, unless borrowing a greater amount is approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report following such borrowing along with justification for borrowing such a greater amount. This limitation, however, will not apply to individual real estate assets or investments. At the date of acquisition of each asset, we anticipate that the cost of investment for such asset will be substantially similar to its fair market value. However, subsequent events, including changes in the fair market value of our assets, could result in our exceeding these limits.

We do not intend to fund distributions from offering proceeds; however, if we have not generated sufficient cash flow from our operations and other sources, such as from borrowings, advances from PHA, PHA’s deferral, suspension and/or waiver of its fees and expense reimbursements, to fund distributions, we may use offering proceeds. Subject to certain limited exceptions, there is no limit to the amount of distributions that we may pay from offering proceeds. Moreover, our board of directors may change this policy, in its sole discretion, at any time.

Potential future sources of capital include secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, establishing additional lines of credit and undistributed cash flow. Note that, currently, we have not identified any additional sources of financing, aside from utilizing funds provided by the CARES Act, and there is no assurance that such sources of financings will be available on favorable terms or at all.

We believe that cash and restricted cash on hand, cash from operations after implementing cost reduction procedures, net offering proceeds from the sale of common stock in the Public Offering and borrowings from other sources, including advances from PHA and the Company’s Sponsor, if necessary, will be sufficient to fund our operating and administrative expenses and continuing debt service obligations over the next twelve months.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Proceeds from the sale of common stock in the Private Offering and Public Offering were partially used to fund our investments in hotel properties and the related costs associated with the transactions. Such proceeds were also used to pay general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019. The remaining proceeds are held in liquid cash accounts. Cash balances from our investments in hotel properties were consolidated during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities

As of December 31, 2019, we owned an interest in three hotel properties. As of December 31, 2018, we owned an interest in two hotel properties for nine months and three days and the third property for four month and fifteen days. During the year ended December 31, 2019, net cash provided by operating activities was $3,108,133, compared to the net cash used in operating activities of  $635,424 for the year ended

TABLE OF CONTENTS

December 31, 2018. Our operating cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2019 was the result of our net income, offset partially by adjustments for non-cash expenses, including depreciation and amortization; the change in fair value of the interest rate swap agreement; and by adjustments for receivables, other assets, amounts due to and from related parties, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Our operating cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2018 was the result of our net loss, offset partially by adjustments for non-cash expenses, including depreciation and amortization, and the change in fair value of the interest rate swap agreement, and by adjustments for receivables, other assets, amounts due to and from related parties, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. We expect cash used in operating activities to increase in future periods as a result of the acquisition expenses incurred for anticipated future acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related investments. However, we expect to generate cash flows from operations as we expand our property portfolio and stabilize its operations.

Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

Cash provided by or used in investing activities will vary based on how quickly we raise funds in our Public Offering and how quickly we invest those funds towards acquisitions of real estate and real-estate related investments. During the year ended December 31, 2019, net cash used in investing activities was $823,361 and was the result of capital improvements at our hotel properties. During the year ended December 31, 2018, net cash used in investing activities was $33,313,240, including $26,061,459 used for the acquisition of TCI, net of cash acquired; $6,739,673 used for the acquisition of our interest in PCF, net of cash acquired; and $512,108 used for capital improvements at our hotel properties.

Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was $6,918,873. We received proceeds of  $18,724,853 through the sale of common stock in our Public Offering. These proceeds are offset by the payment of offering costs consisting partially of selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees totaling $1,459,134 for the year ended December 31, 2019. We made prepayments of  $1,744,000 on mortgage notes payable and $6,600,000 on loans from affiliates. We paid cash distributions of  $1,042,690 to stockholders with proceeds from operations. Cash flow from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2019, also includes $894,250 of distributions to noncontrolling interest. During the year ending December 31, 2019, we repurchased $65,906 of outstanding common stock.

During the year ended December 31 2018, net cash provided by financing activities was $32,089,301, of which $10,898,960 represents proceeds received through the sale of common stock. These proceeds are offset by the payment of offering costs consisting partially of selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees totaling $753,787 for the year ended December 31, 2018. We received $17,836,000 of mortgage note proceeds relating to the Hotel Indigo Traverse City offset by a $1,000,000 prepayment of the Hotel Indigo Traverse City mortgage notes payable and $223,510 of deferred financing costs incurred as a result of the acquisition of the Hotel Indigo Traverse City. Additionally, we received $6,694,194 in proceeds from loans from affiliates, of which $6,600,000 was used to fund the Hotel Indigo Traverse City acquisition and $61,071 was used to fund distributions to stockholders. We received $750,000 in proceeds from loans from the franchisor relating to key money at the Staybridge Suites St. Petersburg. An additional $494,433 of distributions was paid to stockholders with proceeds from operations. Cash flow from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2018, also includes $1,394,375 of distributions to noncontrolling interest. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we repurchased $190,625 of outstanding common stock.

Debt

We intend to maintain amounts outstanding under long-term debt arrangements or lines of credit so that we will have more funds available for investment in properties, which will allow us to acquire a more diversified portfolio. However, the percentage of debt financing we utilize at any given time will be dependent upon various factors to be considered in the sole discretion of our board of directors, including, but not limited to, our ability to raise equity proceeds from the sale of our securities in the Public Offering, our ability to pay distributions, the availability of properties meeting our investment criteria, the availability of debt

financing, and changes in the cost of debt financing. To help finance our initial acquisitions, we may utilize short-term borrowings. However, after our initial property acquisitions, as a general principle, we anticipate that the term of any debt financing we utilize will correspond to the anticipated holding period for the respective property.

We may repay borrowings under any future credit facility or under any future long-term mortgage debt with proceeds from the sale of properties, operating cash flow, long-term mortgage debt, proceeds from the Public Offering, proceeds from any future offerings, or proceeds from any other future securities offerings.

Promissory Note

On August 15, 2018, in connection with the acquisition of the Hotel Indigo Traverse City, we entered into an unsecured loan with our Sponsor in the principal amount of  $6,600,000, evidenced by a promissory note (“Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note accrued interest at the rate of 4.75% per annum and had a maturity date of August 16, 2019. We used proceeds from the sale of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares to prepay the Promissory Note and as of December 31, 2019, there was no remaining outstanding principal balance or interest expense due. The Promissory Note was approved by a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors.

Contractual Obligations

We enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification provisions. Our maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, we have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Our management has reviewed our existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to us to be remote.

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings and, to our knowledge, no material legal proceedings are threatened against us. From time to time, we may be party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that any such proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

Our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2019 are as follows:

Less than<br>1 Year 1 – 3 Years 3 – 5 Years More than <br>5 Years Total
Outstanding debt obligations $ 171,897 $ 15,901,769 $ 23,611,334 $ $ 39,685,000
Interest payments on outstanding debt <br>obligations 1,901,136 2,649,141 1,608,957 6,159,234
Total $ 2,073,033 $ 18,550,910 $ 25,220,291 $ $ 45,844,234

Inflation

As of December 31, 2019, our investments consisted of interests in three hotel properties. Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation. Competitive pressure may, however, limit the operators’ ability to raise room rates. We are not currently experiencing any material impact from inflation.

Distributions

Our board of directors may authorize payment of distributions in excess of those required for us to maintain REIT status as it deems appropriate. We currently pay regular quarterly distributions to our stockholders. We expect to continue to pay distributions quarterly unless our results of operations, our general financial condition, applicable provisions of Maryland law or other factors make it imprudent to do so. As a result of the potential impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on our business, we expect that the board of directors will reconsider our current distribution policy and may take further action with respect to distributions for our common stock, and could consider eliminating, suspending, or significantly reducing the payment of distributions until more information regarding the effect of the virus and its duration is available. The timing and amount of distributions will be determined by our board of directors,

in its sole discretion, and may vary from time to time. Our board of directors’ discretion will be influenced in substantial part by its obligation to cause us to comply with the REIT requirements of the Code. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to pay distributions on our K Shares, K-I Shares or K-T Shares.

Our board of directors has adopted a policy to refrain from funding distributions with offering proceeds; instead, we plan to fund distributions from cash flows from operations and capital transactions (other than the Public Offering or other securities offerings but which may include the sale of one or more assets). However, our charter does not restrict us from paying distributions from any particular source, including proceeds from securities offerings, and our board of directors has the ability to change our policy regarding the source of distributions. However, in accordance with Maryland law, we may not make distributions that would: (1) cause us to be unable to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or (2) cause our total assets to be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus, unless our charter provides otherwise, senior liquidation preferences. Our charter currently provides that amounts that would be needed, if we were to dissolve at the time of such distributions, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of holders of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares shall not be added to our total liabilities for these purposes. Subject to the preceding, our board of directors will determine the amount of distributions we will pay to our stockholders. We have not established a minimum distribution level.

We declared distributions to the holders of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares based on daily record dates for each day during the period commencing July 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019. Distributions are currently calculated at a rate of $0.00016438356 per K Share, K-I Share and K-T Share per day, which if paid each day over a 365-day period is equivalent to a 6.00% annualized distribution rate based on a purchase price of  $10.00 per share of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares, respectively. There were no distributions declared or paid for Class A common stock as of December 31, 2019.

In the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we paid the following distributions, including those paid pursuant to the DRIP:

For the Year Ended December 31,
2019 2018
Distributions paid in cash $ 1,042,690 $ 494,433
Distributions reinvested 61,327
Total distributions $ 1,104,017 $ 494,433
Source of distributions:
Cash flows provided by operations $ 1,042,690 94% $ 433,362 88%
Loans from affiliates 0% 61,071 12%
Offering proceeds from issuance of common stock pursuant to the DRIP 61,327 6% 0%
Total sources $ 1,104,017 100% $ 494,433 100%

The tax composition of our distributions declared for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, was as follows:

Year Ended December 31,
2019 2018
Ordinary Income 41% 0%
Return of Capital 59% 100%
Total 100% 100%

Although the tax composition of such distributions may be a return of capital, distributions for the year ended December 31, 2019 were paid for with gross cash flow from operations. Distributions for the year ended December 31, 2018 were paid for with gross cash flow from operations and loans from PHA. To the extent we do not have taxable income, distributions paid will be considered a return of capital to stockholders.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

One of our objectives is to provide cash distributions to our stockholders from cash generated by our operations. The purchase of real estate assets and real estate-related investments and the corresponding expenses associated with that process are operational features of our business plan in order to generate cash from operations. Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) an industry trade group, has promulgated a measure known as funds from operations (“FFO”) which we believe is an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. FFO is not equivalent to our net income (loss) as determined under GAAP.

We define FFO, consistent with NAREIT’s definition, as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and asset impairment write-downs, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.

We, along with others in the real estate industry, consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of a REIT’s operating performance because it is based on a net income (loss) analysis of property portfolio performance that excludes non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization and asset impairment write-downs, which we believe provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to our management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy.

Historical accounting convention (in accordance with GAAP) for real estate assets requires companies to report its investment in real estate at its carrying value, which consists of capitalizing the cost of acquisitions, development, construction, improvements and significant replacements, less depreciation and amortization and asset impairment write-downs, if any, which is not necessarily equivalent to the fair market value of its investment in real estate assets.

The historical accounting convention requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, which could be the case if such assets are not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances and/or as requested or required by lessees for operational purposes in order to maintain the value disclosed. We believe that, since fair value of real estate assets historically rises and falls with market conditions including, but not limited to, inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation could be less informative.

In addition, we believe it is appropriate to disregard asset impairment write-downs as they are a non-cash adjustment to recognize losses on prospective sales of real estate assets. Since losses from sales of real estate assets are excluded from FFO, we believe it is appropriate that asset impairment write-downs in advancement of realization of losses should be excluded. Impairment write-downs are based on negative market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions. When indicators of potential impairment suggest that the carrying value of real estate and related assets may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability by estimating whether we will recover the carrying value of the asset through undiscounted future cash flows and eventual disposition (including, but not limited to, net rooms revenues, net proceeds on the sale of property and any other ancillary cash flows at a property or group level under GAAP). If based on this analysis, we do not believe that we will be able to recover the carrying value of the real estate asset, we will record an impairment write-down to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the real estate asset. Testing for indicators of impairment is a continuous process and is analyzed on a quarterly basis. Investors should note, however, that determinations of whether impairment charges have been incurred are based partly on anticipated operating performance, because estimated undiscounted future cash flows from a property, including estimated future net rooms revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and certain other ancillary cash flows, are taken into account in determining whether an impairment charge has been incurred. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO as described above, investors are cautioned that due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows and that we intend to have a relatively limited term

of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges through the eventual sale of the property. No impairment losses have been recorded to date.

Publicly registered, non-listed REITs, such as us, typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operations. While other start up entities may also experience significant acquisition activity during their initial years, we believe that publicly registered, non-listed REITs are unique in that they have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a relatively limited time frame after the acquisition activity ceases. We will use the proceeds raised in our offering to acquire real estate assets and real estate-related investments, and we intend to begin the process of achieving a liquidity event (i.e., listing of our shares of common stock on a national securities exchange, a merger or sale, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or another similar transaction) within five to seven years after the completion of our offering stage, which is generally comparable to other publicly registered, non-listed REITs. Thus, we do not intend to continuously purchase real estate assets and intend to have a limited life. Due to these factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-listed REITs, the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (the “IPA”), an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as modified funds from operations (“MFFO”) which we believe to be another appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a publicly registered, non-listed REIT. MFFO is a metric used by management to evaluate sustainable performance and distribution policy. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income (loss) as determined under GAAP.

We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA’s Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations (“Practice Guideline”), issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items included in the determination of GAAP net income (loss): acquisition fees and expenses; amounts related to straight-line rental income and amortization of above and below intangible lease assets and liabilities; accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income (loss); nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income (loss) from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan; unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting; adjustments related to contingent purchase price obligations where such adjustments have been included in the derivation of GAAP net income (loss); and after adjustments for a consolidated and unconsolidated partnership and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. Our MFFO calculation complies with the IPA’s Practice Guideline, described above. In calculating MFFO, we exclude paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses that are reported in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Since MFFO excludes acquisition fees and expenses, it should not be construed as a historic performance measure. Acquisition fees and expenses are paid in cash by us, and we have not set aside or put into escrow any specific amount of proceeds from our offerings to be used to fund acquisition fees and expenses. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to PHA or its affiliates and third parties. Such fees and expenses will not be reimbursed by PHA or its affiliates and third parties, and therefore if there are no further proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock to fund future acquisition fees and expenses, such fees and expenses will need to be paid from either additional debt, operational earnings or cash flows, net proceeds from the sale of properties, or from ancillary cash flows. As a result, the amount of proceeds available for investment and operations would be reduced, or we may incur additional interest expense as a result of borrowed funds. Nevertheless, PHA or its affiliates will not accrue any claim on our assets if acquisition fees and expenses are not paid from the proceeds of our offerings. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses related to the acquisition of properties determined to be business combinations are expensed as incurred, including investment transactions that are no longer under consideration, and are included in acquisition related expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, and acquisition expenses associated with transactions determined to be an asset purchase are capitalized.

All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the real estate asset, these fees and expenses and other costs related to such property. In addition, MFFO may not be an indicator of our operating performance, especially during periods in which properties are being acquired.

67


TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income (loss) in determining cash flows from operations in accordance with GAAP.

We use MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it in order to evaluate our performance against other publicly registered, non-listed REITs, which intend to have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies shortly thereafter. As noted above, MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance if we do not continue to operate in this manner. We believe that our use of MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it allow us to present our performance in a manner that reflects certain characteristics that are unique to publicly registered, non-listed REITs, such as their limited life, limited and defined acquisition period and targeted exit strategy, and hence the use of such measures may be useful to investors. For example, acquisition fees and expenses are intended to be funded from the proceeds of our offering and other financing sources and not from operations. By excluding acquisition fees and expenses, the use of MFFO provides information consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of its real estate assets. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as the average daily rate and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such charges that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information.

Presentation of this information is intended to assist management and investors in comparing the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO and MFFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indication of our performance, as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other measurements as an indication of our performance. MFFO is not a useful measure in evaluating net asset value since impairment write-downs are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining MFFO.

FFO and MFFO, as described above, should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income (loss) or in its applicability in evaluating our operational performance. The method used to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operation performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP FFO and MFFO measures and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO. MFFO has not been scrutinized to the level of other similar non-GAAP performance measures by the SEC or any other regulatory body.

Item 9A.

Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to us, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and we necessarily were required to apply our judgment in evaluating whether the benefits of the controls and procedures that we adopt outweigh their costs. As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we conducted an evaluation as of December 31, 2018 under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of December 31, 2019, were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected. Under the supervision, and with the participation, of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued in 2013 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or the Original Framework. Based on our evaluation under the Original Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2019.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the permanent deferral adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

(c) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Procaccianti Hotel REIT, Inc.:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Procaccianti Hotel REIT, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ Ernst & Young LLP

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2016.

Boston, Massachusetts March 30, 2020

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 — Organization and Description of Business

Procaccianti Hotel REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on August 24, 2016. The Company used the proceeds from its Private Offering (defined below) and expects to use the proceeds from its Public Offering (defined below) to acquire and own a diverse portfolio of hospitality properties consisting primarily of select-service, extended-stay, and compact full-service hotel properties throughout the United States (“U.S.”). The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2018. Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through Procaccianti Hotel REIT, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership that is wholly-owned by the Company (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company owned interests in three select-service hotels located in three states with a total of 346 rooms. For more information on the Company’s real estate portfolio, see Note 3 — “Investments in Hotels.”

On September 30, 2016, the Company commenced a private offering (“Private Offering”) of shares of Class K common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“K Shares”), and units, which are comprised of four K Shares and one share of Class A common stock, each with a $0.01 par value per share (“Units”), for $10.00 per K Share and $50.00 per Unit, with a targeted maximum offering of  $150,000,000 in K Shares (including K Shares sold as part of a Unit) to accredited investors only pursuant to a confidential private placement memorandum exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company terminated its Private Offering prior to the commencement of the Public Offering, and, as of such termination, received approximately $15,582,755 in gross proceeds from the sale of K Shares and A Shares, including Units, in the Private Offering. Of the $15,582,755 in gross proceeds raised, $2,954,095 was from the sale of shares of Class A common stock (“A Shares”) to TPG Hotel REIT Investor, LLC (“THR”) to fund organization and offering expenses associated with the K Shares and Units. With the A Share proceeds from the Private Offering, the Company paid $782,705 in selling commissions, $275,794 in dealer manager fees and recognized $1,083,912 in other offering costs for the duration of the Private Offering.

On August 14, 2018, the Company commenced its initial public offering (“Public Offering”) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 (Registration No. 333-217578) (“Registration Statement”), filed under the Securities Act with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), to offer up to $550,000,000 in shares of common stock, including $500,000,000 in shares of common stock pursuant to the primary offering, consisting of the following three share classes: K Shares, at an initial offering price of $10.00 per K Share, Class K-I common stock, (“K-I Shares”), at an initial offering price of  $9.50 per K-I Share and Class K-T common stock (“K-T Shares”), at an initial offering price of  $10.00 per K-T Share and $50,000,000 in shares of common stock pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) at $9.50 per K Share, $9.50 per K-I Share and $9.50 per K-T Share. On November 16, 2018, the Company revised the offering price per K-I Share in the primary offering from $9.50 to $9.30 per K-I Share, exclusive of the DRIP, which remained at $9.50 per K-I Share.

Since the commencement of the Public Offering and through December 31, 2019, the Company received approximately $19,530,181 in gross proceeds from the sale of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares in the Public Offering, including $28,102, $32,596 and $630 of gross proceeds from K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares issued pursuant to the DRIP, respectively. Additionally, the Company received $2,190,000 from the sale of A Shares to THR from a private placement, proceeds of which were used to fund the payment of organization and offering expenses related to the Public Offering and also to account for the differences between the applicable NAV per K-I Share and the applicable offering price per K-I Share and any amount equal to any discount to the initial offering price of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares (excluding volume discounts).

The Company expects to offer shares of common stock in the Public Offering over a two-year period. If the Company has not sold all of the shares to be offered in the Public Offering within two years from the

effective date of the Registration Statement, the Company may continue the Public Offering until August 14, 2021. The Company may, in its discretion, terminate the Public Offering at any time. If the Company’s board of directors determines that it is in the Company’s best interest, the Company may conduct follow-on public offerings upon the termination of the Public Offering. The Company’s charter does not restrict its ability to conduct offerings in the future.

The Company is externally managed by Procaccianti Hotel Advisors, LLC (“PHA”) pursuant to an Advisory Agreement by and among the Company, its Operating Partnership and PHA. PHA is an affiliate of the Company’s sponsor, Procaccianti Companies, Inc. (“Sponsor”).

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.

As discussed in Note 3 — “Investments in Hotels”, the Company acquired a 51% interest in, and became a co-manager of, Procaccianti Convertible Fund, LLC (“PCF”) on March 29, 2018. The Company determined that PCF is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) as defined under the Consolidation Topic (“Topic 810”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact PCF’s performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from PCF that could be significant to PCF and is, therefore, the primary beneficiary of PCF and consolidates the accounts of PCF. The assets of PCF were $38,055,299 and $38,576,857 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and consist primarily of land, building, furniture, fixtures, and equipment. The liabilities of PCF were $25,604,117 and $25,816,260 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and consist primarily of long-term debt. The assets of PCF are available to satisfy PCF’s obligations.

The Company has no foreign operations or assets and its operating structure includes only one operating segment.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assumptions and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment in Real Estate

Investment in real estate is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Major improvements that extend the life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over a period equal to the shorter of the life of the improvement or the remaining useful life of the asset. The cost of ordinary repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred.

Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line and accelerated methods based upon the following estimated useful lives:

Building 39 years
Improvements 7 – 15 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment 3 – 7 years

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Real Estate Purchase Price Allocation

Upon the acquisition of hotel properties, the Company evaluates whether the acquisition is a business combination or an asset acquisition. For both business combinations and asset acquisitions the Company allocates the purchase price of properties to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings, improvements, and furniture, fixtures and equipment, and any assumed debt based on their fair value. For asset acquisitions, the Company capitalizes transaction costs and allocates the purchase price using a relative fair value method allocating all accumulated costs. For business combinations, the Company expenses transaction costs associated as incurred and allocates the purchase price based on the estimated fair value of each separately identifiable asset and liability.

The tangible assets acquired consist of land, buildings, improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment. The Company utilizes independent appraisals, as well as hotel construction costs and other available market data, to assist in the determination of the fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property.

The Company determines the fair value of any assumed debt by calculating the net present value of the scheduled mortgage payments using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers, including using a discounted cash flow analysis that uses appropriate discount or capitalization rates and available market information where applicable. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. Any difference between the fair value and stated value of the assumed debt is recorded as a discount or premium and amortized over the remaining life of the loan as interest expense.

In allocating the purchase price of each of the Company’s properties, the Company makes assumptions and uses various estimates, including, but not limited to, the estimated useful lives of the assets, the cost of replacing certain assets and discount rates used to determine present values. Many of these estimates are obtained from independent third-party appraisals. However, the Company is responsible for the source and use of these estimates. These estimates are based on judgment and subject to being imprecise; accordingly, if different estimates and assumptions were derived, the valuation of the various categories of the Company’s hotel properties or related intangibles could in turn result in a difference in the depreciation or amortization expense recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These variances could be material to the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles, including franchise agreements with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.

Derivative Financial Instruments

All derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as an asset or liability. Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use of the derivative instrument and the designation of the derivative instrument. The Company’s objective in using derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements or other identified risks.

Derivative instruments designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows or other types of forecasted transactions are considered cash flow hedges. The changes in fair value for derivative instruments that are not designated as a hedge or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria are recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in the consolidated statements of operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under GAAP, the Company is required to disclose the fair value of certain financial instruments on a recurring basis. The accompanying consolidated balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable and mortgage notes payable.

The Company considers the carrying value of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable to approximate the fair value of these financial instruments based on the short duration between origination of the instruments and their expected realization.

A fair value measurement is based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in an orderly transaction. The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows:

Level 1:   unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2:   quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value driers are observable in active markets; and

Level 3:   prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

In accordance with the guidance and methodology discussed in Note 3 — “Investments in Hotels”, the Company determined the fair value of the PCF mortgage notes payable acquired as of the acquisition date. The Company estimated the fair value of the PCF mortgage notes payable upon acquisition using a discounted cash flow analysis using borrowing rates available to the Company for debt instruments with similar terms and maturities. These financial instruments are valued using Level 2 inputs.

As of December 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of the mortgage notes payable was $40,523,678, compared to the carrying value of  $39,555,565. These financial instruments are valued using Level 2 inputs.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is generally recognized as services are performed. Revenue represents primarily rooms, food and beverage, and other fees. The Company collects sales tax from all nonexempt customers and remits the entire amount to the appropriate states upon collection from the customer. The Company’s accounting policy is to exclude the tax collected and remitted to the state from revenue and expense.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand or held in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Restricted Cash

The Company maintains reserves for property taxes and capital improvements as required by the debt agreements. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, reserves for property taxes were $391,511 and $225,697, respectively, and reserves for capital improvements were $1,221,133 and $1,553,432, respectively. The Company also included $19,005 and $19,931 of guest advance deposits as restricted cash at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

The Company records its accounts receivable at cost. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, when deemed necessary, based on its history of past write offs, collections and current credit conditions. Accounts are written off based on

F-11


TABLE OF CONTENTS

Procaccianti Hotel REIT, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

management’s evaluation of the collectability of each account resulting from collection efforts. The Company has determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary at December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets

Prepaid expenses include prepaid insurance and hotel operating expenses. Other assets include inventories at the hotel properties, consisting of food and beverage, are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, using the FIFO (first-in first-out) method of accounting. Other assets also include the Company’s deferred income tax asset.

Deferred Franchise Fees

Franchise fee represents the initial franchise fee paid by the Company. The initial franchise fees of the agreements are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the franchise agreements.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred finance fees are bank fees and other costs incurred in obtaining financing that are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related debt. Deferred finance fees are presented as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of the mortgage notes payable on the consolidated balance sheet. Amortization of deferred finances fees is calculated using the straight-line method over the term of the related debt and is included in interest expense.

Organization and Offering Costs

Organization and offering costs include selling commissions, dealer manager fees, stockholder servicing fees and any other elements of underwriting compensation, legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees and expenses, due diligence expenses of participating broker-dealers supported by detailed and itemized invoices, costs in connection with preparing sales materials, design and website expenses, fees and expenses of the Company’s transfer agent, fees to attend retail seminars sponsored by participating broker-dealers and reimbursements for customary travel, lodging, and meals. The Company charges organization and offering costs against additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet as it raises proceeds in its continuous Public Offering.

Income Taxes

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and has operated as a REIT, commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2018. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income to its stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent it distributes qualifying dividends to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year following the year it initially elects to be taxed as a REIT, it will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Company relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect the Company’s net income and net cash available for distribution to its stockholders.

Because the Company is prohibited from operating hotel properties pursuant to certain tax laws relating to its qualification as a REIT, the entities through which the Company owns hotel properties will lease the hotel properties to one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). A TRS is a corporate subsidiary of a

F-12


TABLE OF CONTENTS

Procaccianti Hotel REIT, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

REIT that jointly elects, with the REIT, to be treated as a TRS of the REIT, and that pays U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates on its taxable income.

The Company accounts for income taxes of its TRSs using the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period prior to when the new rates become effective. The Company records a valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets that are not expected to be realized.

The Company has reviewed tax positions under GAAP guidance that clarify the relevant criteria and approach for the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. A tax position may only be recognized in the financial statements if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination. At December 31, 2019, the Company had no material uncertain tax positions.

The preparation of the Company’s various tax returns requires the use of estimates for federal and state income tax purposes. These estimates may be subjected to review by the respective taxing authorities. A revision to an estimate may result in an assessment of additional taxes, penalties and interest. At this time, a range in which the Company’s estimates may change is not expected to be material. The Company will account for interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions in the current period results of operations, if necessary. The Company has tax years 2016 through 2019 remaining subject to examination by federal and various state tax jurisdictions.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity in a consolidated entity held by owners other than the consolidating parent. Noncontrolling interests are reported in the consolidated balance sheet within equity, separately from stockholders’ equity. Revenue, expenses, and net income attributable to both the Company and the noncontrolling interests are reported in the consolidated statement of operations.

Per Share Data

The Company calculates its basic and diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) utilizing the two-class method. Under the two-class method both basic and diluted EPS are calculated for each class of common stock considering distributions declared and accumulated, and the rights of common shares and participating securities in any undistributed earnings. Undistributed earnings are allocated to all outstanding common shares based on the relative percentage of each class of shares to the total number of outstanding shares. Non-vested shares of restricted Class K common stock totaling 2,250 K Shares as of December 31, 2019 held by the Company’s independent directors are included in the calculation of basic EPS because such shares have been issued and participate in distributions.

New Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 325): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU No. 2016-13”), which requires that entities use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU No. 2016-13 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 using the modified retrospective approach and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

acquisition fee of  $124,978 due to PHA (see Note 8 — “Related Party Transactions”). The Company financed the transaction with proceeds from the sale of K Shares and A Shares in the Private Offering.

PCF is a Delaware limited liability company formed on April 21, 2017, to acquire, own and operate two hotel properties. PCF acquired the Springhill Suites Wilmington, which is a 120-room hotel located in Wilmington, North Carolina, (the “Wilmington Hotel”) on May 24, 2017, and the Staybridge Suites St. Petersburg, which is a 119-room hotel located in St. Petersburg, Florida (the “St. Pete Hotel”) on June 29, 2017.

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the noncontrolling interest reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements represents third parties’ aggregate 49% interest in PCF.

The Company concluded its investment in PCF was an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“Topic 805”), as substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired by the Company is concentrated in a group of similar identifiable assets. In accordance with Topic 810, in an asset acquisition under the VIE model, the difference in the fair value of the assets acquired and consideration paid is recognized in the income statement as a gain or loss on the transaction. Costs incurred as part of the asset acquisition transaction are not considered a component of the consideration transferred nor capitalized as a part of the cost of the assets acquired. In accordance with this guidance, the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition were recorded by the Company as follows and $302,380 of acquisition costs were expensed:

Fair Value at<br>March 29, 2018
Land $ 5,005,069
Building and improvements 30,803,265
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment 3,481,075
Construction in progress 33,238
Cash and restricted cash 1,289,846
Other assets 458,894
Total assets acquired 41,071,387
Long-term debt (24,412,623)
Other liabilities assumed (832,206)
Net assets acquired $ 15,826,558
Fair value of controlling interest $ 8,071,545
Purchase price 8,029,519
Gain on acquisition $ 42,026

The Company determined the acquisition date fair values of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers, including using a discounted cash flow analysis that uses appropriate discount or capitalization rates and available market information where applicable. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions.

Acquisition of TCI

On August 15, 2018, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of its Operating Partnership, acquired a fee simple interest in a 107-room, select-service hotel property, the Hotel Indigo, located in Traverse City, Michigan (“TCI”) for a purchase price of  $26,050,000, exclusive of closing costs and typical hotel closing date adjustments. The Company also incurred an acquisition fee of  $413,001 due to PHA, see

The Company financed the transaction with a combination of (1) an unsecured loan made to the Company on August 15, 2018, by the Sponsor in the principal amount of $6,600,000 with an interest rate of 4.75% per annum, evidenced by a promissory note, (2) net proceeds from the Private Offering and (3) proceeds from a first mortgage loan in the principal amount of  $17,836,000, entered into on August 15, 2018.

The Company concluded that its investment in TCI was an asset acquisition in accordance with Topic 805. In accordance with this guidance, the Company capitalized $234,441 of acquisition costs. In addition, the Company adjusted the purchase price for a $41,000 credit received on the settlement statement relating to parking lot repairs required at TCI. The Company allocated the adjusted purchase price of $26,243,441 to the acquired assets, consisting of land, building, and furniture and fixtures, based on their relative fair values.

Fair Value at<br>August 15, 2018
Land $ 2,982,000
Building 22,377,124
Furniture and fixtures 884,317

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The value of interest rate swaps is primarily impacted by interest rates, market expectations about interest rates, and the remaining life of the instrument. In general, increases in interest rates, or anticipated increases in interest rates, will increase the value of the fixed rate payer position and decrease the value of the variable rate payer position. As the remaining life of the interest rate swap decreases, the value of both positions will generally move towards zero.

The following table summarizes the terms of the outstanding interest rate swap agreement:

Balance Sheet Location Notional<br>Amount as of<br>December 31,<br>2019 Interest<br>Rate(1) Effective<br>Date Maturity<br>Date Far Value of<br>Liability as of<br>December 31,<br>2019(2)
Interest rate swap Accounts payable, accrued<br>expenses and other, net $ 15,092,000 5.30% 8/15/2018 8/15/2021 $ (320,075)

(1)

The interest rate consists of the underlying index swapped to a fixed rate rather than floating rate LIBOR, plus a premium. The Company notes that the maturity date of the interest rate swap is prior to the LIBOR phase-out deadline and therefore does not expect any impact to the terms or value of the swap.

(2)

Changes in fair value are recorded as unrealized gain (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations as the Company did not designate this interest rate swap as a hedge. The Company valued the interest rate swap using Level 2 inputs.

Note 7 — Loans from Franchisors

Included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the balance sheet at December 31, 2019 and 2018, is $1,039,284 and $1,092,784, respectively, of net key money loans received from franchisors or assumed upon acquisition. In accordance with the loan agreement with the respective franchisor, funds were released to the applicable hotel properties upon completion of a change of ownership, property improvement plan, and inspection and subsequent approval of the completed work by the franchisor. The outstanding principal balances of the loans are reduced on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the franchise agreement. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had received $750,000 in loans from franchisors relating to the St. Pete Hotel and assumed a liability of  $364,430 in connection with the TCI acquisition. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company amortized $53,500 and $21,646, respectively, of these loans as a reduction of franchise fees, which are included in rooms and other property expenses on the statement of operations.

Note 8 — Related Party Transactions

The Company entered into the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement on August 2, 2018, with PHA and the Operating Partnership (as amended and renewed, the “Advisory Agreement”). The Advisory Agreement has a one-year term, subject to renewals upon mutual consent of PHA and the Company’s independent directors for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods. On July 31, 2019, the board of directors of the Company, including all independent directors of the Company, after review of PHA’s performance during the last year, authorized the Company to execute a mutual consent to renew the Advisory Agreement, by and among the Company, the Operating Partnership and PHA.

The Company is also required to reimburse PHA for costs incurred in providing these administrative services. PHA is required to allocate the cost of such services to the Company based on objective factors such as total assets, revenues and/or time allocations. At least annually, the Company’s board of directors will review the amount of administrative services expense reimbursable to PHA to determine whether such amounts are reasonable in relation to the services provided. As of December 31, 2019, PHA has forfeited its right to collect reimbursement for providing these administrative services provided through such date.

Acquisition Fee

The Company will pay PHA acquisition fees as described below:

Acquisition Fee:   Fee for providing services including selecting, evaluating and acquiring potential investments, or the acquisition fee. The total acquisition fee payable to PHA shall equal 1.5% of the Gross Contract Purchase Price of an investment, which as defined in the Advisory Agreement, represents the amount actually paid or allocated in respect of the purchase of an investment, inclusive of acquisition expenses and any indebtedness assumed or incurred. Payment of such fee will be deferred until the occurrence of a (i) liquidation event (i.e., any voluntary or involuntary liquidation or dissolution of the Company, including as a result of the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets for cash or other consideration), (ii) the Company’s sale or merger in a transaction that provides stockholders with cash, securities or a combination of cash and securities, (iii) the listing of the Company’s shares of common stock on a national securities exchange, or (iv) the termination of the Advisory Agreement, other than for cause, or the non-renewal of the Advisory Agreement. The preceding clauses (ii) and (iii) are defined as an “Other Liquidity Event”. Under the Advisory Agreement Amendment, deferred acquisition fees will accrue interest at a cumulative, non-compounded rate of 6.0% per annum until the day immediately following the Fifth Anniversary (as defined herein), at which time such interest will cease to further accrue.

There were no acquisition fees incurred for the year ended December 31, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company incurred $537,980 in acquisition fees which are included in other fees to affiliates on the consolidated statement of operations.

The adjusted cost will include the purchase price, acquisition expenses, capital expenditures, and other customary capitalized costs.

Any such deferred asset management fees will accrue interest at a cumulative, non-compounded rate of 6.0% per annum. If the Company has not completed a liquidation event by the fifth anniversary of the date the Company terminates the Public Offering (including any follow-on offering) (the “Fifth Anniversary”), on the day immediately following the Fifth Anniversary, (i) the asset management fees payable pursuant to the Advisory Agreement cease to accrue and (ii) interest that accrued at a non-compounded rate of 6.0% per annum on the deferred asset management fees will cease to accrue. For the avoidance of doubt, all accrued and unpaid principal and interest amounts in connection with the asset management fee at the Fifth Anniversary will remain outstanding.

If a Non-cause Advisory Agreement Termination were to occur, the Company would be obligated to make a cash payment to PHA in the amount of any deferred asset management fees, plus any interest accrued thereon, the full acquisition fees previously earned, plus interest accrued thereon, and the full disposition fees previously earned, plus any interest accrued thereon, regardless of the value of the Company’s assets or net assets. The Company would be obligated to repurchase its A Shares for an amount equal to the greater of: (1) any accrued common ordinary distributions on the A Shares plus the stated value of the outstanding A Shares ($10.00 per A Share) or (2) the amount the holders of A Shares would be entitled to receive if the Company liquidated and received net liquidation proceeds equal to the fair market value (determined by appraisals as of the termination date) of the Company’s investments less any loans secured by such investments, limited in the case of non-recourse loans to the value of investments securing such loans. Any B Shares then outstanding would remain outstanding. The amounts payable on account of the repurchase of A Shares may be paid, in the discretion of a majority of the Company’s board of directors, including a majority of the Company’s independent directors, in the form of promissory notes bearing interest at the then-current rate, as determined in good faith by a majority of the Company’s independent directors.

Payment Upon Advisory Agreement Termination for Cause

If the Company terminates the Advisory Agreement for cause, the Company would not have a current obligation to make any payments to PHA or to S2K Servicing LLC (formerly known as Colony S2K Servicing LLC), an affiliate of the dealer manager. However, any A Shares and B Shares held by them or their affiliates would remain outstanding. In addition, any deferred asset management fees, plus any interest accrued thereon, the full acquisition fees previously earned, plus any interest accrued thereon, and the full disposition fees previously earned, plus any interest accrued thereon, would remain outstanding obligations, and the deferred fees would continue to accrue interest at a non-compounded annual rate of 6.0%. Such deferred fees and interest thereon would be payable upon a liquidation event.

Loans from Affiliates

The Company has combined subordinated promissory notes of  $94,194 from PHA that bear interest at the current blended long term applicable federal rate (“AFR”). The blended long term AFR was 2.85% and 2.80% for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The maturity date of the notes is the date after all outstanding K Shares have received all accumulated, accrued and unpaid distributions due and owing under the terms of the Company’s organization documents and the liquidation preference on the K Shares pursuant to the Company’s organization documents has been paid in full, as well as upon any event of default. These amounts are included in due to related parties on the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2019 and 2018. Interest expense was $2,687 and $2,642 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and is included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations and in due to related parties on the consolidated balance sheets.

On August 15, 2018, in connection with the acquisition of the Hotel Indigo Traverse City, the Company entered into an unsecured loan with its Sponsor in the principal amount of  $6,600,000, evidenced by a promissory note (“Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note accrued interest at the rate of 4.75% per annum and had a maturity date of August 16, 2019. The Promissory Note was approved by a majority of the Company’s board of directors, including a majority of the independent directors. The Company used proceeds from the sale of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares sold in the primary offering to prepay the Promissory Note. As of July 11, 2019, the entire principal and accrued interest balance had been repaid. Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $116,896 and $118,529, respectively, and is included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations. The related unpaid accrued interest balances at December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $0 and $26,626, respectively.

Note 9 — Stockholders’ Equity

Under the Company’s charter, the total number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance is 248,125,000, consisting of 55,500,000 K Shares, 55,500,000 K-I Shares, 116,000,000 K-T Shares, 21,000,000 A Shares, and 125,000 shares of Class B common stock, with a par value of  $0.01 per share (“B Shares”).

The Company’s K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares entitle the holders to one vote per share on all matters upon which stockholders are entitled to vote and to receive distributions as authorized by the Company’s board of directors. Holders of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares will be entitled to receive cumulative cash distributions on each share at the rate of 6.0% per annum of each share’s distribution base. The distribution base will initially be $10.00 per K Share, $10.00 per K-I Share and $10.00 per K-T Share and will be reduced for distributions that the board of directors declares and pays out of net sales proceeds from the sale or disposition of assets to the extent such distributions are not used to pay accumulated, accrued, and unpaid dividends on such K Shares, K-I Shares, and K-T Shares.

K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares will rank, on a pro rata basis, senior to all other classes of stock with respect to distribution rights and rights upon the Company’s liquidation. In certain situations (other than upon liquidation), the Company may have excess cash available for distribution and the board of directors may authorize special distributions in which case the holders of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares would receive 50% of any such excess cash. Holders of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares would also generally be entitled to receive 50% of any remaining liquidation cash pro rata based on the number of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares outstanding.

A Shares entitle the holders to one vote per share on all matters upon which stockholders are entitled to vote and to receive distributions and other distributions of excess cash as authorized by the Company’s board of directors. Following the payment of all accumulated, accrued and unpaid distributions on K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares and payment of any accrued asset management fees (and any interest thereon), each A Share will be entitled to receive distributions at a rate not to exceed 6.0% of the stated value of  $10.00 per share from income and cash flow from ordinary operations on a cumulative basis. In certain situations (other than upon liquidation), the Company may have excess cash available for distribution and the board of directors may authorize special distributions in which case the holders of A Shares will receive 37.5% of any such excess cash on a pro rata basis. A Shares would also generally be entitled to receive 37.5% of any remaining liquidation cash pro rata based on the number of A Shares outstanding.

B Shares will have no voting rights, other than the right to vote on and approve any further issuances of an increase of the authorized number of B Shares. In addition, if the Company were to list any shares of its common stock on a national securities exchange, the Company will repurchase its B Shares in accordance with its charter. Holders of B Shares are not entitled to distributions; however, in certain situations (other than upon liquidation) the Company may have excess cash available for distribution and the board of directors may authorize special distributions in which case the holders of B Shares would receive 12.5% of any such excess cash on a pro rata basis. Holders of B Shares would also generally be entitled to receive 12.5% of any remaining liquidation cash pro rata based on the number of B Shares outstanding.

K Shares to each of the Company’s three independent directors for a total of 1,500 restricted K Shares. These awards were in relation to their initial election to the board of directors and their re-election. An additional 250 restricted K Shares were awarded to each independent director upon his or her re-election at the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders on July 11, 2019.

Share Repurchase Program and Redeemable Common Stock

The Company’s share repurchase program may provide eligible stockholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them to sell shares back to the Company, subject to restrictions and applicable law. The Company is not required to repurchase shares. The share repurchase program is only intended to provide interim liquidity to stockholders until a liquidity event occurs, such as the commencement of execution on a plan of liquidation, the listing of the K Shares, K-I Shares or K-T Shares (or successor security) on a national securities exchange, or the Company’s merger with a listed company. The Company cannot guarantee that a liquidity event will occur.

On October 26, 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved and adopted the Amended and Restated Share Repurchase Program (the “A&R SRP”). The A&R SRP provides that the Company will not repurchase in excess of 5.0% of the weighted average number of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares outstanding during the trailing 12 months prior to the end of the fiscal quarter for which repurchases are being paid (provided, however, that while shares subject to a repurchase requested upon the death of a stockholder will be included in calculating the maximum number of shares that may be repurchased, shares subject to a repurchase requested upon the death of a stockholder will not be subject to the percentage cap). Additionally, in the event that any stockholder fails to maintain a minimum balance of  $2,000 of K Shares, K-I Shares or K-T Shares, the Company may repurchase all of the shares held by that stockholder at the per share repurchase price in effect on the date the Company determines that the stockholder has failed to meet the minimum balance, less any applicable repurchase discount. Minimum account repurchases will apply even in the event that the failure to meet the minimum balance is caused solely by a decline in the Company’s estimated NAV per share.

In addition, the Company’s repurchase of any shares will be limited to the extent that the Company does not have, as determined in the Company’s board of directors’ discretion, sufficient funds available to fund any such repurchase. Most of the Company’s assets will consist of properties which cannot be readily liquidated without affecting the Company’s ability to realize full value upon their disposition. Therefore, the Company may not have sufficient liquid resources to satisfy all repurchase requests. In addition, the Company’s board of directors may amend, suspend (in whole or in part) or terminate the A&R SRP at any time upon 30 days’ notice to stockholders. Further, the Company’s board of directors reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject any requests for repurchases.

In the event the Company cannot repurchase all shares presented for repurchase in any fiscal quarter, based upon insufficient cash available and/or the limit on the number of shares it may repurchase, the Company would give first priority to the repurchase of deceased stockholders’ shares. The Company would next give priority to (i) requests of stockholders with “qualifying disabilities” (as defined in the A&R SRP), and in the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, stockholders with another involuntary exigent circumstance, such as bankruptcy, and (ii) next, to requests for full repurchases of accounts with a balance of 100 or less shares at the time the Company receives the request, in order to reduce the expense of maintaining small accounts. Thereafter, the Company will honor the remaining quarterly repurchase requests on a pro-rata basis. Unfulfilled requests will be carried over automatically to subsequent repurchase periods unless a stockholder withdraws a request pursuant to the terms of the A&R SRP.

Repurchases of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares will be made quarterly upon written request to the Company at least 15 days prior to the end of the applicable quarter. Valid repurchase requests will be honored approximately 30 days following the end of the applicable quarter (the “Repurchase Date”). Stockholders may withdraw their repurchase request at any time up to five business days prior to the Repurchase Date.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

No shares can be repurchased under the Company’s A&R SRP until after the first anniversary of the date of purchase of such shares; provided, however, that this holding period shall not apply to repurchases requested within two years after the death or disability of a stockholder. Additionally, any shares purchased pursuant to the Company’s DRIP will be excluded from the one-year holding requirement. For stockholders that have made more than one purchase of K Shares, K-I Shares or K-T Shares in the Public Offering and/or Private Offering, the one-year holding period will be calculated separately with respect to each such purchase. Repurchases of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares, when requested, are at the Company’s sole discretion and generally will be made quarterly. Shares repurchased under the A&R SRP program will become unissued shares and will not be resold unless such sales are made pursuant to transactions that are registered or exempt from registration under applicable securities laws. The Company will not pay its Sponsor, board of directors, PHA or their affiliates any fees to complete transactions under the A&R SRP.

The per share repurchase price will depend on the length of time the stockholder has held such shares as follows:

Share Purchase Anniversary Repurchase Price on Repurchase Date
Less than 1 year No Repurchase Allowed
1 year 92.5% of most recent estimated per share NAV
2 years 95.0% of most recent estimated per share NAV
3 years 97.5% of most recent estimated per share NAV
4 years 100.0% of most recent estimated per share NAV
In the event of a stockholder’s death or disability 100.0% of most recent estimated per share NAV

Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to securities laws and regulations, at any time the Company is engaged in an offering, the repurchase amount shall never be more than the current offering price of such shares. Shares repurchased in connection with a stockholder’s bankruptcy or other exigent circumstance, in the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors, within one year from the purchase date will be repurchased at a price per share equal to the price per share the Company would pay had the stockholder held the shares for one year from the purchase date.

The purchase price for repurchased shares will be adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations, or similar corporate actions with respect to the Company’s common stock. If the Company has sold any properties and have made one or more special distributions to stockholders of all or a portion of the net proceeds from such sales, the per share repurchase price will be reduced by the net sale proceeds per share distributed to stockholders prior to the repurchase date to the extent such distributions are not used to pay accumulated, accrued and unpaid distributions on such K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares. The Company’s board of directors will, in its sole discretion, determine which distributions, if any, constitute a special distribution. While the Company’s board of directors does not have specific criteria for determining a special distribution, the Company expects that a special distribution will occur only upon the sale of a property and the subsequent distribution of net sale proceeds.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company fulfilled repurchase requests and repurchased K Shares pursuant to the share repurchase program as follows:

For the Quarter Ended Total Number of<br>Shares Requested to<br>be Repurchased Total Number of<br>Shares Repurchased Average Price Paid<br>per Share
March 31, 2019 $
June 30, 2019 2,500 $

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company repurchased approximately $65,906 of K Shares, which represented all repurchase requests received in good order and eligible for repurchase through the December 31, 2019 repurchase date. No K-I Shares or K-T Shares were requested to be, or were, repurchased during the year ended December 31, 2019.

The Company generally repurchases shares approximately 30 days following the end of the applicable quarter in which requests were received. As December 31, 2019, there were no outstanding and unfulfilled repurchase requests. All repurchase requests for the year ended December 31, 2019 related to K Shares.

Update to our Share Repurchase Program

On March 20, 2020, the Company’s board of directors decided to temporarily suspend repurchases under its share repurchase program effective with repurchase requests that would otherwise be processed in April 2020 due to the negative impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the Company’s portfolio to date. However, the Company will continue to process repurchases due to death in accordance with the terms of the share repurchase program.

Note 10 — Income Taxes

The Company recognized consolidated income tax expense of  $42,727 and a consolidated income tax benefit of  $22,266 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These amounts relate to the operations of the Company’s TRSs, which had consolidated net losses for the year ended December 31, 2018 and consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2019.

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had net deferred tax assets of  $27,521 and $38,520, respectively, due to temporary differences between the timing of the GAAP recognition and tax recognition of certain expenses and net operating losses. No valuation allowance has been placed upon such deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.

Note 11 — Commitments and Contingencies

Economic Dependency

The Company depends on PHA for certain services that are essential to the Company, including the identification, evaluation, negotiation, purchase and disposition of properties and other investments, management of the daily operations of the Company’s real estate portfolio, and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event that PHA is unable to provide these services to the Company, the Company will be required to obtain such services from other sources, and the Company’s failure to identify such other sources could have an adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company also depends upon the dealer manager for the sale of the Company’s shares of common stock in its offering.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company may become party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings of which the outcome is probable or reasonably possible to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition, which would require accrual or disclosure of the contingency and possible range of loss. Additionally, the Company has not recorded any loss contingencies related to legal proceedings in which the potential loss is deemed to be remote.

Environmental

All real properties and the operations conducted on real properties are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety. In connection with ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may be potentially liable for costs and damages

related to environmental matters. The Company intends to take commercially reasonable steps to protect ourselves from the impact of these laws, including obtaining environmental assessments of all properties that the Company acquires.

Note 12 — Subsequent Events

Hotel Acquisition

On February 27, 2020, the Company, through its Operating Partnership, completed the acquisition of the membership interests in Gano Holdings, LLC (“Gano”) for a purchase price of  $28,500,000 (the “Purchase Price”). Gano owns 100% of the fee simple interest in a 137-room select-service Hilton Garden Inn hotel property located in Providence, Rhode Island (the “Property”). The transaction is being accounted for as an asset acquisition of a variable interest entity as defined under Topic 810 of the Codification. In connection with the acquisition, the Property was leased to PHR Gano OPCO Sub, LLC (the “Lessee”), a single purpose entity 100% owned by PHR TRS II, LLC, a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Company. On February 27, 2020, the Lessee entered into a hotel management agreement with Gano Hotel Manager, LLC, an affiliate of PHA, to manage the Property.

The Purchase Price, exclusive of closing costs and typical hotel closing date adjustments, was comprised of three components as follows: (a) a $10,281,855 cash payment, (b) the issuance of 128,124 Class K Units of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“Class K OP Units”), valued at $10.00 per Class K OP Unit, and (c) the assumption of the existing debt balance on the Property (the “Existing Debt”) as evidenced by a promissory note and other loan documents. The cash portion of the acquisition was funded with net proceeds from the Company’s Public Offering. Individuals with direct or indirect interests in the seller (as defined herein) of the Property who are direct or indirect owners of the Sponsor and PHA received only Class K OP Units and no cash as consideration.

The Procaccianti Group, LLC (the “Procaccianti Group”), an affiliate of the Sponsor, had the right to purchase the membership interests in Gano pursuant to that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement by and among Procaccianti Group, as buyer, and TPG DP JV, LLC, ETJ Gano Holdings, Inc., PRJA Gano Holdings, LLC, EHI Gano Holdings, Inc. and TPG DP Investors, LLC, collectively as seller (“Seller”), dated as of January 14, 2020 (as amended, the “MIPA”). The Seller entities are affiliated with the Sponsor, and some are controlled by certain members of the investment committee of PHA. On February 27, 2020, Procaccianti Group assigned, and the Operating Partnership assumed, Procaccianti Group’s right, title and interest in and under the MIPA (the “Assignment”), pursuant to that certain Assignment of Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, by and between Procaccianti Group and the Operating Partnership (the “Assignment Agreement”), giving the Operating Partnership the right to acquire the membership interests of Gano for the Purchase Price.

At the Closing, the lender increased the loan by $2,000,000 to provide additional capital for the acquisition of the Property (as assumed and increased, the “Loan”). The Loan is collateralized by the Property, has an outstanding principal amount of approximately $16,936,901 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.25% per annum. The Loan matures on May 15, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”). The Loan provides for interest only monthly payments for 35 months, with payments based on a 30-year amortization schedule thereafter. The Loan may be prepaid at any time with 15 days’ prior notice, subject to a declining prepayment premium ranging from 2.0% – 0.5% of the outstanding loan balance, depending on the year of prepayment, as more fully described in the loan agreement. The loan agreements contain affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred an acquisition fee payable to PHA of approximately $441,370, or 1.5% of the Gross Contract Purchase Price, which will be deferred until the occurrence of a liquidation event of the Company and is subordinate to certain stockholders’ returns.

In November 2019, the Company prepaid $75,000 for a franchise fee application relating to the acquisition of Gano. This amount is included within the due from related parties balance on the consolidated

balance sheet at December 31, 2019. The Company received reimbursement for the payment on upon completion of the acquisition on February 27, 2020.

Amended and Restated Operating Partnership Agreement

In connection with the Assignment, effective February 27, 2020, the Company, as general partner of the Operating Partnership, Procaccianti Hotel REIT, LP, LLC and certain principals and affiliates of the Sponsor that were issued Class K OP Units entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Procaccianti Hotel REIT, L.P. (the “Amended and Restated Operating Partnership Agreement”). Below is a summary of the material terms of the Amended and Restated Operating Partnership Agreement:

Partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are divided into “units.” The Operating Partnership has various classes of units: general partnership units, limited partnership common units, subdivided further into classes corresponding to the Company’s classes of capital stock: Class A limited partnership units (“Class A OP Units”), Class K OP Units, Class K-I limited partnership units (“Class K-I OP Units”), Class K-T limited partnership units (“Class K-T OP Units”) and Class B limited partnership units (“Class B OP Units”). General partnership units represent an interest as a general partner in the Operating Partnership and the Company, as general partner, will hold all such units.

For each limited partnership common unit received, investors generally will be required to contribute money or property, with a net equity value determined by the general partner. Holders of limited partnership units will not be obligated to make additional capital contributions to the Operating Partnership. Further, such holders will not have the right to make additional capital contributions to the Operating Partnership or to purchase additional limited partnership units without the Company’s consent as general partner.

Limited partners do not have the right to participate in the management of the Operating Partnership. Limited partners who do not participate in the management of the Operating Partnership, by virtue of their status as limited partners, generally are not liable for the debts and liabilities of the Operating Partnership beyond the amount of their capital contributions. The Company, however, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, is liable for any unpaid debts and liabilities. The voting rights of the limited partners are generally limited to approval of specific types of amendments to the Amended and Restated Operating Partnership Agreement. With respect to such amendments, each class of limited partnership common unit has one vote. Further, the limited partners have no right to remove the Company as the general partner.

Under certain circumstances, holders of limited partnership units of any class may be restricted from transferring their interests without the consent of the general partner. After owning a limited partnership common unit for one year, limited partnership common unitholders generally may, subject to certain restrictions, exchange limited partnership units for the cash value of a corresponding number of units of the Company’s common stock or, at the Company’s option, a corresponding number of units of the Company’s common stock, which may be accelerated in certain extraordinary transactions described in the Amended and Restated Operating Partnership Agreement.

The Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement specifies the manner in which distributions from the Operating Partnership will be made to partners and accrue under the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement. Holders of Class K OP Units, Class K-I OP Units and Class K-T OP Units are generally entitled to receive payment distributions prior to the holders of any other class of limited partnership units. Distributions accrue automatically with respect to Class K OP Units, Class K-I OP Units and Class K-T OP Units at the same rate as under the Company’s charter with respect to the corresponding common share classes. In general, the priority of distributions in the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement reflects the same priority as in the Company’s charter with respect to the corresponding common shares.

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

On March 3, 2020, the Company held a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), at which its stockholders were asked to consider and vote on (1) a proposal to amend the Company’s charter (the “Charter”) in order to increase the rate at which cash distributions on shares of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares automatically accrue under the Charter from 6% to 7% per annum of the K Share Distribution Base (as defined in the Charter) of such K Share, K-I Share Distribution Base (as defined in the Charter) of such K-I Share and K-T Share Distribution Base (as defined in the Charter) of such K-T Share, respectively (as defined herein). Pursuant to the Charter, the K Share Distribution Base is equal to $10.00 per K Share, the K-I Share Distribution Base is equal to $10.00 per K-I Share, and the K-T Share Distribution Base is equal $10.00 per K-T Share, each subject to reduction due to any special distributions of excess cash from net sales proceeds that the board of directors of the Company may authorize the Company to pay and (2) a proposal to amend the Charter in order to increase the maximum rate at which distributions on shares of A Shares may be authorized by the Company’s board of directors and declared by the Company from 6% to 7% of the stated value of an A Share ($10.00) from income and cash flow from ordinary operations on a cumulative basis.

The Company previously filed with the SEC a definitive proxy statement/prospectus and related materials pertaining to the Special Meeting, which describe in detail each of the proposals submitted to the Company’s stockholders to be voted on at the Special Meeting.

At the Special Meeting, there were present, in person or by proxy, stockholders holding an aggregate of approximately 1,906,673.55 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 52.27% of the total number of 3,647,647 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding as of December 17, 2019, the record date for the Special Meeting, and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

Subsequent to December 31, 2019, there was a global outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus (COVID-19). The global and domestic response to the COVID-19 outbreak continues to rapidly evolve. Thus far, certain responses to the COVID-19 outbreak have included mandates from federal, state and/or local authorities that required temporary closure of certain travel and hospitality. As a result of COVID-19 the New Hanover County North Carolina Board of Commissioners instituted a State of Emergency effective March 28, 2020. Accordingly, as a result of this declaration our Springhill Suites hotel in Wilmington, NC was instructed to close effective March 30, 2020 and will remain closed until April 13, 2020 unless such declaration is extended or rescinded. The Company has implemented cost elimination and efficiency initiatives at each of the hotels by reducing labor costs and tempering certain services and amenities. The COVID-19 outbreak and associated responses could negatively impact future hotel revenues and operations at the Company’s properties, which could result in a material impact to the Company’s future results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. The Company believes cash and restricted cash on hand, cash generated from operations, proceeds from our Public Offering and borrowings from other sources, including advances from the Company’s Sponsor, if necessary, will be sufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months from March 30, 2020, the date of this report.

EXHIBIT 4.3

DESCRIPTION OF ProcacciantiHotel REIT, Inc.SECURITIES REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12(g) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

The following is a summary of the material terms of shares of common stock of Procaccianti Hotel REIT, Inc. registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as set forth in our charter and bylaws, as amended and supplemented from time to time. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to our charter and bylaws. References herein to “us,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company” refer to Procaccianti Hotel REIT, Inc. Our charter authorizes the issuance of 248,125,000 shares of capital stock, of which (a) 55,500,000 shares are classified as Class K-I Common Stock with a par value of  $0.01 per share, which we refer to as our K-I Shares, (b) 55,500,000 shares are classified as Class K Common Stock with a par value of  $0.01 per share, which we refer to as K Shares, (c) 116,000,000 shares are classified as Class K-T Common Stock with a par value of  $0.01 per share, which we refer to as K-T Shares, (d)125,000 shares are classified as Class B Capital Stock with a par value of  $0.01 per share, which we refer to as our B Shares, and (e) 21,000,000 shares are classified as Class A Common Stock with a par value of  $0.01 per share, which we refer to as our A Shares.

In addition, our board of directors may amend our charter from time to time without stockholder approval to increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of stock or the number of authorized shares of stock of any class or series. Our board of directors may also classify or reclassify unissued shares of stock of any class or series into other classes or series of stock. Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, we may not (i) issue or sell additional B Shares, or increase the authorized number of B Shares or (ii) amend, alter, modify or repeal any provision of our charter in a manner disproportionately adversely affecting the rights, privileges and preferences of the B Shares, without the consent of the holders of at least 75% of the issued and outstanding B Shares. The preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of any new class or series of capital stock will be designated and set forth in articles supplementary to our charter filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland.

K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares

Subject to the restrictions in our charter on the ownership and transfer of shares and except as may otherwise be specified in our charter, each holder of K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares will be entitled at each meeting of our stockholders to one vote per K-I Share, K Share or K-T Share owned by such stockholder on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, including, but not limited to, the election of our directors.

The K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares will rank, with respect to distribution rights and rights upon our company’s liquidation, winding-up and dissolution:

· pari passu with each other and any other class or<br> series of our capital stock, the terms of which expressly provide that the K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares rank on parity<br> with such class or series as to distribution rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of our company<br> (which such other class or series we refer to as parity securities),<br>and senior to the A Shares, B Shares, and any other class or series of our capital stock, the terms of which expressly provide<br>that the K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares rank senior to such class or series as to distribution rights or rights on our liquidation,<br>winding-up, and dissolution of our company. We refer to such classes or series of capital stock ranking junior to our K-I Shares,<br>K Shares and K-T Shares as junior securities; and
· junior to all of our existing and future debt obligations and other<br>liabilities (except for deferred asset management fees, acquisition fees, and disposition fees (and any interest accrued thereon)<br>payable to our advisor.
--- ---

Distribution Rights.   Subject to the preferential rights of the holders of any class or series of our capital stock ranking senior to K-I Shares, K Shares, and K-T Shares, if any such class or series is authorized in the future, the holders of each K-I Share, K Share and K-T Share will be entitled to receive, when and as authorized by our board of directors and declared by us, out of legally available funds, cumulative cash distributions on each K-I Share at the rate of 6% per annum of the K-I Share Distribution Base for such K-I Share, cumulative cash distributions on each K Share at the rate of 6% per annum of the K Share Distribution Base for such K Share, and cumulative cash distributions on each K-T Share at the rate of 6% per annum of the K-T Share Distribution Base for such K-T Share. The K-I Share Distribution Base is $10.00 per K-I Share, subject to reduction as described under “— Special Distributions” below; the K Share Distribution Base is $10.00 per K Share, subject to reduction as described under “— SpecialDistributions” below; and the K-T Share Distribution Base is $10.00 per K-T Share, subject to reduction as described under “ — Special Distributions” below. The distributions on the K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares will accrue on each such share, whether or not authorized by our board and declared by us and whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such distributions, on a cumulative basis, from the date of issuance of such K-I Share, K Share or K-T Share. While distributions on the K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares will accrue on a daily basis, distributions on K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares will be payable in arrears to holders of record as they appear in our stock records at the close of business on the applicable record date or record dates, which shall be each day of the period for which such distributions are payable or such other date or dates designated by our board of directors. We expect to pay distributions on our K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares quarterly, unless our results of operations, general financing conditions, general economic conditions, applicable provisions of Maryland law, or other factors make it imprudent to do so. Our goal is to eventually be in a position to make monthly distributions payments. The timing and amount of any distributions will be determined by our board, in its sole discretion, and may vary. Payment of distributions on our K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares will be influenced in part by our intention to comply with the real estate investment trust, or the REIT, requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code. To qualify as a REIT, we will be required to distribute 90% of our annual taxable income, determined without regard to the distributions paid deduction and by excluding net capital gains, to our stockholders.

If at any time we pay less than the total amount of accumulated, accrued, and unpaid distributions on the K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and any parity securities, such payment will be distributed pro rata among the holders of each class of shares based upon the aggregate K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and parity securities held by each such stockholder as of the close of business on each record date. Payment of distributions on our K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares is not guaranteed.

Unless and until all accumulated, accrued, and unpaid distributions on our K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and any parity securities for all past distribution periods have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid on such K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and parity securities (or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set aside for payment), we will not, directly or indirectly, declare and pay dividends or other distributions of cash or other property on junior securities (including our A Shares and B Shares), provided that, if we terminate our advisory agreement without cause or elect not to renew it, we will repurchase all A Shares as described in our prospectus.

Special Distributions.   In certain situations, we may have excess cash (as defined below), and our board of directors will authorize special distributions in which the holders of our K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and any parity securities will be entitled to participate (pro rata based on the number of K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and parity securities). In the case of such distributions, the holders of our K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and any parity securities will receive, pari passuwith the holders of A Shares and B Shares, 50% of any such excess cash (or 87.5% of such excess cash if the A Shares have been repurchased in connection with a Non-cause Advisory Agreement Termination (as defined in our prospectus). Our board of directors will determine annually, other than upon a liquidation, the amount, if any, of  “excess cash” and will authorize distribution payments of any excess cash on an annual basis. “Excess cash” will equal any cash available for distribution after the board establishes working capital reserves or other reserves it deems necessary (but excluding net sales proceeds from the sale of our assets) and after the full payment of  (i) all accumulated, accrued, and unpaid distributions on our K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and any parity securities; (ii) the full asset management fees payable to our advisor, including any deferred amounts and any interest accrued thereon; and (iii) all accumulated, accrued and unpaid common ordinary distributions, as described below under “— A Shares — Distribution Rights.”

In addition, if we sell properties generating net cash proceeds other than in accordance with a plan of liquidation, our board of directors will have the right to redeploy that capital, including any profits realized on the sale of such properties, although our board generally expects to attempt to minimize any taxes payable at regular corporate tax rates arising from any failure to distribute all of our net capital gains. Alternatively, our board may authorize a distribution on the K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and any parity securities, which would first be applied against any accumulated, accrued, and unpaid distributions on the K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and any parity securities, and then would be applied to reduce the liquidation preference due on such K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and any parity securities in liquidation, as described below. Any such distributions arising from the proceeds of the sale of our assets, except to the extent they are applied against any accumulated, accrued, and unpaid distributions on the K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and any parity securities, would also decrease the K-I Share Distribution Base, K Share Distribution Base, and K-T Share Distribution Base.

Liquidation.   Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation or dissolution of our company, which we refer to as a liquidation event, before any distribution or payment may be made to holders of the A Shares and B Shares, the holder of each K-I Share, K Share, K-T Share and parity security will be entitled to be paid out of our assets legally available for distribution, after payment or provision for our debts and liabilities (excluding any deferred asset management fees, acquisition fees and disposition fees (plus interest accrued thereon), as discussed below under “— Liquidation — Deferred Fees”), a liquidation preference. The liquidation preference for each K-I Share, K Share, and K-T Share will initially equal $10.00, $10.00, and $10.00 per share, plus an amount equal to any and all accumulated, accrued, and unpaid 6.0% distributions on K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares (whether or not authorized) up to and including the date of payment on such K-I Share, K Share and K-T Share. The liquidation preference may be reduced as a result of the payment of distributions on our K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares arising from the distribution of net sales proceeds. See “— SpecialDistributions” immediately above. The liquidation preference on parity securities will be determined at the time, if any, that our board of directors authorizes a class or series of parity securities, but such liquidation preference would operate in all material respects in the manner described for the K-I Shares, K Shares, and K-T Shares.

In addition, upon a liquidation event, 50% (or 87.5% if the A Shares have been repurchased in connection with a Non-cause Advisory Agreement Termination) of any remaining liquidation cash (as described below) available for distribution by us (as determined by our board, in its discretion) will be paid to the holders of the K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and any parity securities, pro rata based on the number of K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and parity securities outstanding. “Remaining liquidation cash” means all cash available for distribution, as determined by our board after (i) payment in full of, or the setting aside of reserves for, all of our debts and liabilities, limited, in the case of non-recourse liabilities secured by properties, to the value of those properties, and excluding liabilities for the payment of deferred asset management fees, acquisition fees, and disposition fees (and any interest accrued thereon); (ii) payment in full of the liquidation preference on all outstanding K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and any parity securities; (iii) the full asset management fees are paid, including any deferred amounts and interest accrued thereon; (iv) the full acquisition fees and disposition fees are paid, including any interest accrued thereon; (v) all accrued common ordinary distributions on our A Shares are paid (as described below under “— A Shares — Distribution Rights”); and (vi) payment in full of the stated value of all outstanding A Shares (as described below under — Liquidation — Stated Value of A Shares.” We intend to invest 100% of the proceeds from K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares in assets, therefore holders of our K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares would be limited in their potential return on investment should we return in excess of 9.84% on their investment.

Merger or Acquisition Transaction.   Pursuant to our charter, if we enter into a merger or acquisition transaction, the merger or acquisition consideration would be distributed amongst our stockholders, including holders of K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and any parity securities, pursuant to the same order of priority as if we liquidated for an amount equal to the aggregate consideration payable in such merger or acquisition transaction. See “— Liquidation” below.

Conversion of K-T Shares.   Each K-T Share sold in our primary offering and any associated K-T Share issued pursuant to our DRIP will automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof convert into a number of K Shares equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the estimated NAV per K-T Share and the denominator of which is the estimated NAV per K Share, on the earliest of (i) the end of the month in which our transfer agent, on our behalf, determines that the aggregate underwriting compensation paid from all sources with respect to the offering in which such K-T Share was sold equals 10% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares in the primary portion of such offering (i.e., excluding proceeds from our DRIP), (ii) the end of the month in which our transfer agent, on our behalf, determines that total underwriting compensation, including selling commissions, dealer manager fees, the stockholder servicing fee and other elements of underwriting compensation with respect to such K-T Share, exceeds 10% of the total gross investment amount at the time of purchase of such K-T Share, (iii) the end of the month in which our transfer agent, on our behalf, determines that the stockholder servicing fee paid with respect to such K-T Share exceeds 3% of the total gross investment amount at the time of purchase of such K-T Share, (iv) the date on which the holder of such K-T Share or its agent notifies us or our agent that such holder is represented by a new participating broker-dealer unless such new participating broker-dealer enters into a participating dealer agreement or otherwise agrees to ongoing services set forth in the dealer manager agreement or (v) the listing of any class or series of our stock on a national securities exchange, the merger or consolidation of the company or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

B Shares

B Shares will not be sold to investors as part of this offering. We issued B Shares to the Service Provider in a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The holders of B Shares have no voting rights, other than the right to vote on and approve any further issuances of or increase in the authorized number of B Shares and any amendments to our charter that would disproportionately adversely impact the rights, preferences or privileges of the B Shares. Except for those special distributions and payments described below, the holders of B Shares hold no other rights under our charter, including rights to participate in stockholder meetings or to receive any other distributions on liquidation.

Special Distributions.   In certain situations, we may have excess cash (as defined under the heading “— K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares — Special Distributions”), and our board of directors may authorize special distributions in which holders of our B Shares will be entitled to participate (pro rata based on the number of B Shares). In the case of such distributions, the B Shares will receive, pari passuwith the holders of A Shares, K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and parity securities, 12.5% of any such excess cash. Our board of directors will determine annually, other than upon a liquidation, the amount, if any, of  “excess cash” and will authorize distribution payments of any excess cash on an annual basis.

Liquidation.   Upon our liquidation, 12.5% of any remaining liquidation cash (as described under “— K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares — Liquidation” above) available for distribution by us (as determined by our board, in its discretion) will be paid to the holders of the B Shares, pro rata based on the number of B Shares.

Merger or Acquisition Transaction.   Pursuant to our charter, if we enter into a merger or acquisition transaction, the merger or acquisition consideration would be distributed amongst our stockholders, including holders of B Shares, pursuant to the same order of priority as if we liquidated for an amount equal to the aggregate consideration payable in such merger or acquisition transaction. See “ — Liquidation” below.

Listing.   Pursuant to our charter, if we list any of our shares of capital stock on a national securities exchange (which automatically results in a termination of the advisory agreement), we will repurchase the B Shares as described under “— Listing Event” below.

A Shares

Subject to the restrictions in our charter on the ownership and transfer of stock and except as may otherwise be specified in our charter, each holder of A Shares will be entitled at each meeting of our stockholders to one vote per A Share owned by such stockholder on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, including but not limited to the election of our directors.

The intended use of proceeds from the sale of A Shares to our advisor and its affiliates in a private placement is to fund (i) our payment of our organization and offering expenses, including the selling commissions, stockholder servicing fees, dealer manager fees and expense reimbursements payable to the dealer manager, (ii) an amount equal to the difference between $10.00 per K-I Share and the $9.30 per K-I share initial purchase price of K-I Shares sold in the primary offering (in order that we will have an amount equal to $10.00 per K-I Share available for investment in assets), and (iii) an amount equal to any discount on the initial offering price of K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares arising from reduced or waived selling commissions (other than reduced selling commissions for volume discounts) or dealer manager fees (in order that we will have an amount equal to $10.00 per K-I Share, K Share and K-T Share available for investment in assets). In some cases, however, particularly early in our life, in order to finance the acquisition of properties, we may use the proceeds of the sale of A Shares to our advisor and its affiliates to acquire properties. To the extent we use the proceeds from the sale of A Shares to acquire properties, we would sell additional A Shares to our adviser and its affiliates to pay for the organization and offering expenses of the K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares.

As described below, our advisor and its affiliates will purchase A Shares in amounts sufficient to fund (i) our payment of our organization and offering expenses, including selling commissions, stockholder servicing fees, dealer manager fees and expense reimbursements payable to the dealer manager, (ii) an amount equal to the difference between $10.00 per K-I Share and the $9.30 per K-I share purchase price of K-I Shares sold in the primary offering and (iii) an amount equal to any discount on the initial offering price of K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares arising from reduced or waived selling commissions (other than reduced selling commissions for volume discounts) or dealer manager fees.

Advisor’s Obligation to PurchaseA Shares.   Our advisor and its affiliates have agreed to purchase A Shares in a private placement at the applicable estimated NAV per K Share in order to provide us with funds sufficient to pay the selling commissions, dealer manager fees, stockholder servicing fees, and other organization and offering expenses related to this offering and also to account for the difference between the applicable NAV per K-I Share and the applicable offering price per K-I Share and any amount equal to any discount to the initial offering price of K-I Shares, K Shares, and K-T Shares (excluding volume discounts).

Distribution Rights.   Following the payment in full of all accumulated, accrued, and unpaid distributions on the K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and any parity securities, and the payment of any accrued asset management fees (and any interest thereon), each A Share will be entitled to receive, when and as authorized by our board and declared by us, out of legally available funds, distributions on each A Share at a rate not to exceed 6.0% of the stated value of an A Share ($10.00) from income and cash flow from ordinary operations on a cumulative basis. We refer to such distributions as “common ordinary distributions.” Except in the case of a liquidation, A Shares are not entitled to participate or receive any distributions on account of net sales proceeds arising from the sale of properties.

The distributions on the A Shares will accrue on each such share, whether or not authorized by our board and declared by us and whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such distributions, on a cumulative basis, from the date of issuance of such A Share. Distributions on the A Shares will accrue on a daily basis and will be payable in arrears to holders of record as they appear in our stock records at the close of business on the applicable record date, if any, selected by our board of directors. The timing and amount of common ordinary distributions will be determined by our board, in its sole discretion, and may vary. To the extent necessary to preserve our status as a REIT, we will not be prohibited from declaring or paying or setting apart for payment any dividend or other distribution on the A Shares or any other junior security.

SpecialDistributions.   In certain situations, we may have excess cash (as defined above under the heading “— K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares — Special Distributions”), and our board of directors may authorize special distributions in which holders of our A Shares will be entitled to participate (pro rata based on the number of A Shares). In the case of such distributions, the holders of A Shares will receive, paripassuwith the holders of K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares, parity securities, and B Shares, a special distribution equal to 37.5% of such excess cash (unless all such A Shares previously have been repurchased because of a Non-cause Advisory Agreement Termination, in which case the excess cash otherwise apportioned to the A Shares would be distributed to the holders of the K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and any parity securities). We expect that our board of directors will authorize payments of any excess cash on an annual basis.

Liquidation.   Upon our liquidation, as described under “— Liquidation — Stated Value of A Shares” below, each holder of A Shares will be entitled to be paid out of our assets legally available for distribution, after payment or provision for our debts and liabilities and the other amounts described under “— Liquidation,” an amount equal to the stated value ($10.00) of an A Share for each A Share then held. In addition, if there is any remaining liquidation cash (as described above under “— K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares — Liquidation” and as determined by our board, in its discretion) the holders of A Shares will receive a distribution of 37.5% of the remaining liquidation cash, pro rata based on the number of A Shares (unless all such A Shares previously have been repurchased because of a Non-cause Advisory Agreement Termination, in which case the excess cash otherwise apportioned to the A Shares would be distributed to the holders of the K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and any parity securities).

Merger or Acquisition Transaction.   Pursuant to our charter, if we enter into a merger or acquisition transaction, the merger or acquisition consideration would be distributed amongst our stockholders, including holders of A Shares, pursuant to the same order of priority as if we liquidated for an amount equal to the aggregate consideration payable in such merger or acquisition transaction. See “— Liquidation” below.

Listing.   Pursuant to our charter, if we list any of our shares of capital stock on a national securities exchange, our board of directors must give prior notice of such listing to the holders of A Shares, and such holders of A Shares (including our advisor and its affiliates) will have the right to either (a) receive one share of the applicable listed share in exchange for each A Share held as of the date our board gives notice of an intended listing to our holders of A Shares (to be effective on the date of such listing) or (b) require us to repurchase each A Share for the consideration described under “— Listing Event”, which will equal the amount each A Share would be entitled to receive if we liquidated and received liquidation proceeds equal to the “market value” of our company (as defined in “— Listing Event”). Each holder of A Shares will have at least 20 days to make such election.

Advisory Agreement Termination.   The holders of A Shares may also be entitled to receive amounts similar to those described above if we terminate our advisory agreement in the event of a Non-cause Advisory Agreement Termination (i.e., if we terminate our advisory agreement without cause and other than in connection with a liquidity event or if we elect not to renew it).

Distributions

The timing of the distributions will be determined by our board of directors. Our board of directors has adopted a policy to refrain from funding distributions with offering proceeds; instead, we plan to fund distributions from cash flows from operations and capital transactions (other than this or other securities offerings, but which may include the sale of one or more assets). However, our charter does not restrict us from paying distributions from any particular source, including proceeds from securities offerings, and our board of directors has the ability to change our policy of only paying distributions from cash flows from operations or capital transactions (other this or other securities offerings, but which may include the sale of one or more assets). However, in accordance with Maryland law, we may not make distributions that would: (1) cause us to be unable to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or (2) cause our total assets to be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus, unless our charter provides otherwise, senior liquidation preferences. Our charter currently provides that amounts that would be needed, if we were to dissolve at the time of such distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of holders of K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and any parity securities shall not be added to our total liabilities for these purposes. Subject to the preceding, our board of directors will determine the amount of distributions we will pay to our stockholders.

We currently pay regular quarterly distributions to our stockholders, and while our goal is to declare and pay distributions on our K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares on a monthly basis as of daily record dates, initially we expect to declare and pay distributions on our K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares on a quarterly basis as of daily record dates. We will pay such quarterly distributions within 30 days of the end of each calendar quarter. If we raise $150,000,000 in K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares within one year and we are able to deploy that capital in accordance with our strategic plan, we believe that we will be in a position to pay monthly distributions on our K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares at that time. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to pay distributions on our K-I Shares, K Shares or K-T Shares. Distributions will be authorized at the discretion of our board of directors, which will be influenced in part by its intention to comply with the REIT requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. We intend to make distributions sufficient to meet the annual distribution requirement and to avoid U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our earnings; however, it may not always be possible to do so. Each distribution will be accompanied by a notice which sets forth: (a) the record date; (b) the amount per share that will be distributed; (c) the equivalent annualized yield; and (d) the amount and percentage of the distributions paid from operations, offering proceeds and other sources. The funds we receive from operations that are available for distribution may be affected by a number of factors, including the following:

· the amount of time required for us to invest the funds received in<br>the offering;
· our operating and interest expenses;
--- ---
· operating results of our properties;
--- ---
· the amount of dividends or other distributions received by us from<br>our indirect real estate investments;
--- ---
· our ability to keep our properties occupied;
--- ---
· our ability to maintain or increase rental rates when renewing or<br>replacing current leases;
--- ---
· capital expenditures and reserves for such expenditures;
--- ---
· the issuance of additional shares; and
--- ---
· financings and refinancings.
--- ---

Further, our cash flows may not be sufficient to offset any shortfalls that may occur as a result of the seasonality of the hospitality industry, in which case we may have to reduce distributions or enter into short-term borrowings in some quarterly periods in order to make distributions to our stockholders.

We must annually distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain, in order to meet the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. This 90% requirement is described in greater detail in the “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” section of this prospectus. Our board of directors may authorize distributions in excess of this percentage as it deems appropriate. Because we may receive income from interest or rents at various times during our fiscal year, distributions may not reflect our income earned in that particular distribution period, but may be made in anticipation of cash flow that we expect to receive during a later period and may be made in advance of actual receipt of funds in an attempt to make distributions relatively uniform. To allow for such differences in timing between the receipt of income and the payment of expenses, and the effect of required debt payments, among other things, we could be required to borrow funds from third parties on a short-term basis, issue new securities, or sell assets to meet the distribution requirements that are necessary to achieve the tax benefits associated with qualifying as a REIT. These methods of obtaining funding could affect future distributions by increasing operating costs and decreasing available cash. In addition, such distributions may constitute a return of capital. Because our board of directors has adopted a policy to refrain from funding distributions with offering proceeds, we plan to fund distributions from cash flows from operations and capital transactions (other than this or other securities offerings, but which may include the sale of one or more assets) and we do not expect to use return of capital sources to pay distributions. See the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in this prospectus.

Distributions in kind will not be permitted, except for:

· distributions of readily marketable securities;
· distributions of beneficial interests in a liquidating trust established<br>for our dissolution and the liquidation of our assets in accordance with the terms of the charter; or
--- ---
· distributions of in-kind property, so long as, with respect to such<br>in-kind property, the board of directors advises each stockholder of the risks associated with direct ownership of the property,<br>offers each stockholder the election of receiving in-kind property<br>distributions, and distributes in-kind property only to those stockholders who accept the directors’ offer.

Restrictions on Transfer

REIT Qualification Protections

To assist us in complying with the REIT qualification requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, our charter will prohibit, with certain exceptions, any stockholder from beneficially or constructively owning, applying certain attribution rules under the Internal Revenue Code, more than 9.8% in value of the aggregate of our outstanding shares of capital stock (which includes K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares we may issue in this offering) or more than 9.8% (in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of any class or series of shares of our stock. The board of directors may, in its sole discretion, prospectively or retroactively, waive the 9.8% ownership limit with respect to, or establish an excepted holder limit for, a particular stockholder if evidence satisfactory to our directors is presented that such ownership will not then or in the future jeopardize our status as a REIT. Our advisor and its affiliates will be exempt from these restrictions with respect to their ownership of A Shares.

Our charter will impose other restrictions designed to protect our status as a REIT, including a prohibition on transferring shares of our capital stock if such transfer would result in our capital stock being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons, would result in us being “closely held” under the Internal Revenue Code, or would otherwise cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT.

Any attempted transfer of our stock which, if effective, would result in our stock being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons will be null and void and the proposed transferee will acquire no rights in such stock. In the event of any attempted transfer of our stock which, if effective, would result in (1) violation of the ownership limit discussed above, (2) our being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Internal Revenue Code or (3) our otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT (including by owning, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the ownership interests in any tenant or subtenant, other than certain taxable REIT subsidiaries), then the number of shares causing the violation (rounded to the nearest whole share) will be automatically transferred to a trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more charitable beneficiaries, and the proposed transferee will not acquire any rights in the shares. To avoid confusion, these shares so transferred to a beneficial trust are referred to in this prospectus as “Excess Securities.” Excess Securities will remain issued and outstanding shares and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges as all other shares of the same class or series. The trustee of the beneficial trust, as holder of the Excess Securities, will be entitled to receive all distributions authorized by our board of directors on such securities for the benefit of the charitable beneficiary. Our charter entitles the trustee of the beneficial trust to vote all Excess Securities and, subject to Maryland law, to rescind as void any vote cast by the proposed transferee prior to our discovery that the shares have been transferred to the beneficial trust and to recast the vote in accordance with the desires of the trustee acting for the benefit of the charitable beneficiary. However, if we have already taken irreversible corporate action, then the trustee will not have the authority to rescind and recast the vote. If the transfer to the beneficial trust would not be effective for any reason to prevent a violation of the limitations on ownership and transfer, then the transfer of that number of shares that otherwise would cause the violation will be null and void, with the proposed transferee acquiring no rights in such shares.

Within 20 days of receiving notice from us that the Excess Securities have been transferred to the beneficial trust, the trustee of the beneficial trust shall sell the Excess Securities. The trustee of the beneficial trust may select a transferee to whom the Excess Securities may be sold as long as such sale does not violate the 9.8% ownership limit or the other restrictions on ownership and transfer. Upon sale of the Excess Securities, the intended transferee (the transferee of the Excess Securities whose ownership would violate the 9.8% ownership limit or the other restrictions on ownership and transfer) will receive from the trustee of the beneficial trust the lesser of such sale proceeds (net of any commissions and other expenses of sale) or the price per share the intended transferee paid for the Excess Securities (or, in the case of a gift or devise to the intended transferee, the price per share equal to the market value per share on the date of the transfer to the intended transferee). The trustee may reduce the amount payable to the intended transferee upon such sale by the amount of any dividends and other distributions we pay to an intended transferee on Excess Securities prior to our discovery that such Excess Securities have been transferred in violation of the provisions of the charter. The trustee of the beneficial trust will distribute to the charitable beneficiary any amount the trustee receives in excess of the amount to be paid to the intended transferee. If, prior to our discovery that shares of our stock have been transferred to the beneficial trust, the shares are sold by the intended transferee, then the shares will be deemed to have been sold on behalf of the beneficial trust and, to the extent that the intended transferee received an amount for the shares that exceeds the amount such intended transferee was entitled to receive, the excess shall be paid to the trustee upon demand.

In addition, Excess Securities will be deemed to have been offered for sale to us or our designee at a price per share equal to the lesser of the price per share in the transaction that resulted in the transfer of the Excess Securities to the beneficial trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the market price at the time of such devise or gift) and the market price on the date we or our designee accept such offer. We will have the right to accept such offer until the trustee of the beneficial trust has sold the Excess Securities. Upon such a sale to us, the interest of the charitable beneficiary in the Excess Securities sold will terminate and the trustee of the beneficial trust will distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the intended transferee. We may reduce the amount payable to the intended transferee upon such sale by the amount of any dividends and other distributions we pay to an intended transferee on Excess Securities prior to our discovery that such Excess Securities have been transferred in violation of the provisions of the charter. We may pay the amount of such reduction to the trustee for the benefit of the charitable beneficiary.

If our board of directors or a committee thereof determines that a proposed transfer or other event has taken place that violates the restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock set forth in our charter, our board of directors or such committee may take such action as it deems necessary to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such transfer, including, but not limited to, causing us to redeem shares of stock, refusing to give effect to the transfer on our books or instituting proceedings to enjoin the transfer.

Any person who acquires or attempts or intends to acquire shares in violation of the foregoing restrictions, or would have owned shares that resulted in a transfer to a charitable trust, is required to give us immediate written notice or, in the case of a proposed or attempted transaction, 15 days’ written notice prior to such transaction. In both cases, such persons must provide to us such other information as we may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such transfer on our status as a REIT. The foregoing restrictions will continue to apply until our board of directors determines it is no longer in our best interests to continue to qualify as a REIT or that compliance with these restrictions is no longer required for us to qualify as a REIT.

The ownership limit does not apply to the underwriter in a public offering or private placement of shares or to a person or persons exempted (prospectively or retroactively) from the ownership limit by our board of directors based upon certain representations and undertakings required by our charter and other appropriate assurances that our qualification as a REIT is not jeopardized. Any person who owns more than 5% of the outstanding shares during any taxable year will be asked to deliver a notice setting forth the number of shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly. The securities offered hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state and are being offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such state securities laws. The securities offered hereby may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom.

Minimum Purchase Transfer Restrictions

You must initially invest at least $4,000 in any combination of our K-I Shares, K Shares or K-T Shares to be eligible to participate in this offering.

A stockholder may not transfer fewer shares than the minimum purchase requirement. Unless a stockholder is transferring all of its shares of our common stock, a stockholder may not transfer your shares in a manner that causes the stockholder or its transferee to own fewer than the number of shares required to meet the minimum purchase requirements, except for the following transfers made without consideration: (a) transfers by gift, (b) transfers by inheritance, (c) intrafamily transfers, (d) family dissolutions, (e) transfers to affiliates and (f) transfers by operation of law. These minimum purchase requirements are applicable until our shares of common stock are listed on a national securities exchange, and these requirements may make it more difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares.

Amended and Restated Share Repurchase Program

Our share repurchase program, as described below, may provide eligible stockholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them to sell shares back to us, subject to restrictions and applicable law. Stockholders are not required to sell their shares to us. The share repurchase program is only intended to provide interim liquidity for stockholders until a liquidity event occurs, such as the commencement of execution on a plan of liquidation, the listing of our K Shares, K-I Shares or K-T Shares (or successor security) on a national securities exchange, or our merger with a listed company. We cannot guarantee that a liquidity event will occur.

On March 20, 2020, our board of directors decided to temporarily suspend repurchases under our share repurchase program effective with repurchase requests that would otherwise be processed in April 2020 due to the negative impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on our portfolio to date. However, we will continue to process repurchases due to death in accordance with the terms of our share repurchase program. We will announce any updates concerning its share repurchase program in a Current Report on Form 8-K. Any unprocessed requests will automatically roll over to be considered for repurchase when we fully reopens our share repurchase program, unless a stockholder withdraws the request for repurchase five business days prior to the next repurchase date.

Repurchase ofShares.   A holder of K Shares, K-I Shares or K-T Shares, as applicable, must have beneficially held its shares for at least one year prior to offering them for sale to us through our share repurchase program, unless the K Shares, K-I Shares or K-T Shares, as applicable, are being repurchased in connection with a stockholder’s death, qualifying disability (as defined herein) or other exigent circumstance as determined by our board of directors in its sole discretion. If you have made more than one purchase of K Shares, K-I Shares or K-T Shares in our primary offering, and/or private offering, the one-year holding period will be calculated separately with respect to each such purchase. The Company may, at its sole discretion, repurchase K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares presented to the Company for cash to the extent it has sufficient funds to do so and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth herein. Repurchases of our shares generally will be made quarterly. Shares repurchased under our share repurchase program will become unissued shares and will not be resold unless such sales are made pursuant to transactions that are registered or exempt from registration under applicable securities laws. We will not pay our sponsor, board of directors, advisor or their affiliates any fees to complete transactions under the share repurchase program.

Purchase Price.   The per share repurchase price will depend on the length of time you have held such shares as follows:

· after one year from the purchase date, 92.5% of the most recent per<br>share net asset value of the K  Shares, K-I Shares or K-T Shares, as applicable;
· after two years from the purchase date, 95% of the most recent<br>per share net asset value of the K Shares, K-I Shares or K-T Shares, as applicable;
--- ---
· after three years from the purchase date, 97.5% of the most recent<br>per share net asset value of the K Shares, K-I Shares or K-T Shares, as applicable; and
--- ---
· after four years from the purchase date, 100% of the most recent<br>per share net asset value of the K Shares, K-I Shares or K-T Shares, as applicable.
--- ---

Shares repurchased in connection with a stockholder’s death or qualifying disability will be repurchased at a purchase price per share equal to 100% of the most recent per share net asset value of the K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to securities laws and regulations, at any time we are engaged in an offering, the repurchase amount shall never be more than the current offering price of such shares. Shares repurchased in connection with a stockholder’s bankruptcy or other exigent circumstance, in the sole discretion of our board of directors, within one year from the purchase date will be repurchased at a price per share equal to the price per share we would pay had the stockholder held the shares for one year from the purchase date.

The purchase price for repurchased shares will be adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations, or similar corporate actions with respect to our common stock. If we have sold any properties and have made one or more special distributions to our stockholders of all or a portion of the net proceeds from such sales, the per share repurchase price will be reduced by the net sale proceeds per share distributed to stockholders prior to the repurchase date to the extent such distributions are not used to pay accumulated, accrued and unpaid distributions on such K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares. Our board of directors will, in its sole discretion, determine which distributions, if any, constitute a special distribution. While our board of directors does not have specific criteria for determining a special distribution, we expect that a special distribution will occur only upon the sale of a property and the subsequent distribution of net sale proceeds.

No Encumbrances.   All shares presented for repurchase must be owned by the stockholder(s) making the presentment, or the party presenting the shares must be authorized to do so by the owner(s) of the shares. Such shares must be fully transferable and not subject to any liens or encumbrances. Upon receipt of a request for repurchase, we may conduct a Uniform Commercial Code search to ensure that no liens are held against the shares. Any costs in conducting the Uniform Commercial Code search will be borne by us.

Holding Period.   Only our K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares that have been held by the presenting stockholder for at least one year are eligible for repurchase, except under certain limited circumstances.

a. Distribution Reinvestment Plan Shares.   In the event that we repurchase all of your shares, any<br>shares that you purchased pursuant to our DRIP will be excluded from the one-year holding requirement. Such shares will be repurchased<br>at a discount based on the applicable holding period of the associated primary shares. In the event that you request a repurchase<br>of all of your shares, and you are participating in the DRIP, you will be deemed to have notified us, at the time you submit your<br>repurchase request, that you are terminating your participation in the DRIP and have elected to receive future distributions in<br>cash. This election will continue in effect even if less than all of your shares are accepted for repurchase unless you notify<br>us that you wish to resume your participation in our DRIP.
b. Death of a Stockholder.   Subject to the conditions and limitations described below, we will repurchase<br>our K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares held for less than one year upon the death of a stockholder who is a natural person, including<br>shares held by such stockholder through a revocable grantor trust, or an IRA or other retirement or profit-sharing plan, after<br>receiving written notice from the estate of the stockholder, the recipient of the shares through bequest or inheritance, or, in<br>the case of a revocable grantor trust, the trustee of such trust, who shall have the sole ability to request repurchases on behalf<br>of the trust, within two years from the date of death. If spouses are joint registered holders of the shares, the request<br>to repurchase the shares may be made only if both registered holders die. The waiver of the one-year holding period will not apply<br>to a stockholder that is not a natural person, such as a trust (other than a revocable grantor trust), partnership, corporation<br>or other similar entity.
--- ---
c. Qualifying Disability.   Subject to the conditions and limitations described below, we will repurchase<br>K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares held for less than one year requested by a stockholder who is a natural person, including shares<br>of our common stock held by such stockholder through a revocable grantor trust, or an IRA or other retirement or profit-sharing<br>plan, with a “qualifying disability” as defined herein, after receiving written notice from such stockholder within<br>two years from the date of the qualifying disability, provided that the condition causing the qualifying disability was not<br>pre-existing on the date that the stockholder became a stockholder. The waiver of the one-year holding period will not apply to<br>a stockholder that is not a natural person, such as a trust (other than a revocable grantor trust), partnership, corporation, or<br>similar entity.
--- ---

In order for a disability to be considered a “qualifying disability,” (1) the stockholder must receive a determination of disability based upon a physical or mental condition or impairment arising after the date the stockholder acquired the Shares to be redeemed, and (2) such determination of disability must be made by the governmental agency responsible for reviewing the disability retirement benefits that the stockholder could be eligible to receive (the “applicable governmental agency”). The “applicable governmental agencies” are limited to the following: (1) if the stockholder paid Social Security taxes and therefore could be eligible to receive Social Security disability benefits, then the applicable governmental agency is the Social Security Administration or the agency charged with responsibility for administering Social Security disability benefits at that time if other than the Social Security Administration; (2) if the stockholder did not pay Social Security benefits and therefore could not be eligible to receive Social Security disability benefits, but the stockholder could be eligible to receive disability benefits under the Civil Service Retirement System (“CSRS”), then the applicable governmental agency is the U.S. Office of Personnel Management or the agency charged with responsibility for administering CSRS benefits at that time if other than the Office of Personnel Management; or (3) if the stockholder did not pay Social Security taxes and therefore could not be eligible to receive Social Security benefits but suffered a disability that resulted in the stockholder’s discharge from military service under conditions that were other than dishonorable and therefore could be eligible to receive military disability benefits, then the applicable governmental agency is the Veteran’s Administration or the agency charged with the responsibility for administering military disability benefits at that time if other than the Veteran’s Administration.

Disability determinations by governmental agencies for purposes other than those listed above, including but not limited to worker’s compensation insurance, administration or enforcement of the Rehabilitation Act or Americans with Disabilities Act, or waiver of insurance premiums, will not entitle a stockholder to the special repurchase terms applicable to stockholders with a “qualifying disability” unless permitted in the discretion of our board of directors. Repurchase requests following an award by the applicable governmental agency of disability benefits must be accompanied by: (1) the investor’s initial application for disability benefits and (2) a Social Security Administration Notice of Award, a U.S. Office of Personnel Management determination of disability under CSRS, a Veteran’s Administration record of disability-related discharge or such other documentation issued by the applicable governmental agency that we deem acceptable and demonstrates an award of the disability benefits.

We understand that the following disabilities do not entitle a worker to Social Security disability benefits:

· Disabilities occurring after the legal retirement age;
· Temporary disabilities; and
--- ---
· Disabilities that do not render a worker incapable of performing substantial<br>gainful activity.
--- ---

Therefore, such disabilities will not qualify for the special repurchase terms except in the limited circumstances when the investor is awarded disability benefits by the other “applicable governmental agencies” described above. However, where a stockholder requests a repurchase of his or her shares due to a disability, and such stockholder does not have a “qualifying disability” under the terms described above, the board of directors may repurchase the stockholder’s shares in its discretion on the special terms available for a qualifying disability.

d. Involuntary Exigent Circumstance.   Our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, waive the one-year<br>holding period requirement in the event of involuntary exigent circumstances such as bankruptcy.

Funding and Operation of the Program.   We are not obligated to repurchase shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program. We will limit the number of shares repurchased pursuant to our share repurchase program as follows: (1) we will not repurchase in excess of 5.0% of the weighted average number of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares outstanding during the trailing 12 months prior to the end of the fiscal quarter for which repurchases are being paid (provided, however, that while shares subject to a repurchase requested upon the death of a stockholder will be included in calculating the maximum number of shares that may be repurchased, shares subject to a repurchase requested upon the death of a stockholder will not be subject to the percentage cap); and (2) funding for the repurchase of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares will be limited to net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares under our DRIP and any other operating funds that may be authorized by our board of directors, in its sole discretion. The foregoing limits might prevent us from accommodating all repurchase requests made in any fiscal quarter or in any 12-month period, in which case quarterly repurchases will be made pro rata, except as described below. Further, our management and/or board of directors reserves the right, in its sole discretion at any time, and from time to time, to reject any request for repurchase for any or no reason.

We will determine whether we have sufficient funds and/or shares available as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal quarter, but in any event prior to the applicable repurchase date. If we cannot purchase all shares presented for repurchase in any fiscal quarter, based upon insufficient cash available and/or the limit on the number of shares we may repurchase during any year, we will give first priority to the repurchase of deceased stockholders’ shares. While deceased stockholders’ shares will be included in calculating the maximum number of shares that may be repurchased in any annual period, they will not be subject to the annual percentage caps; therefore, if the volume of requests to repurchase deceased stockholders’ shares in a particular quarter were large enough to cause the annual cap to be exceeded, even if no other repurchase requests were processed, the repurchases of deceased stockholders’ shares would be completed in full, assuming sufficient proceeds from the sale of shares under our DRIP or other operating funds authorized by our board of directors were available. If sufficient funds are not available to pay all such repurchases in full, the requests to repurchase deceased stockholders’ shares would be honored on a pro rata basis. We will next give priority to (i) requests of stockholders with qualifying disabilities, and in the discretion of our board of directors, stockholders with another involuntary exigent circumstance, such as bankruptcy, and (ii) next, to requests for full repurchases of accounts with a balance of 100 or less K Shares, K-I Shares and/or K-T Shares at the time we receive the request, in order to reduce the expense of maintaining small accounts. Thereafter, we will honor the remaining quarterly repurchase requests on a pro rata basis. Unfulfilled requests for repurchase will be carried over automatically to subsequent repurchase periods unless a stockholder withdraws the request for repurchase five business days prior to the next repurchase date.

Deadline for Presentment.   Repurchases of our K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares will be made quarterly upon written request to us at least 15 days prior to the end of the applicable quarter. Valid repurchase requests will be honored approximately 30 days following the end of the applicable quarter, which we refer to as the “repurchase date.” Stockholders may withdraw their repurchase request at any time up to five business days prior to the repurchase date.

Account Minimum.   In the event any stockholder fails to maintain a minimum balance of  $2,000 of K Shares, K-I Shares or K-T Shares, we may repurchase all of the shares held by that stockholder at the net asset value repurchase price in effect on the date we determine that the stockholder has failed to meet the minimum balance, less any applicable repurchase discount.

Termination, Amendment or Suspensionof the Program.   Our board of directors may suspend (in whole or in part) the share repurchase program at any time and from time to time upon notice to our stockholders and may amend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time upon 30 days’ prior written notice to our stockholders. We will notify our stockholders of such developments (1) in a Current Report on Form 8-K, in an annual or quarterly report, or (2) by means of a separate mailing to you. The share repurchase program will terminate immediately if our shares are listed on any national securities exchange.

We generally repurchase shares approximately 30 days following the end of the applicable quarter in which requests were received.

Reporting

We will register all securities offered in this offering under the Exchange Act on or before April 30 of the calendar year in which we are required to register pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act. We immediately upon effectiveness of this offering, began filing quarterly, annual and other required reports with the SEC.

Meetings and Special Voting Requirements

An annual meeting of our stockholders will be held each year, at least 30 days after delivery of our annual report. The board members, including the independent directors, shall take reasonable steps to ensure that this requirement is met. Special meetings of stockholders may be called only upon the request of a majority of our board of directors, a majority of the independent directors, the chief executive officer, the president or the chairman of the board and must be called by our secretary to act on any matter that may be properly considered at a meeting of stockholders upon the written request of stockholders entitled to cast at least 10% of the votes entitled to be cast on such matter proposed to be considered at the special meeting. Holders of our K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares will have identical voting rights, unless otherwise required under Maryland law.

Upon receipt of a written request of stockholders entitled to cast at least 10% of the votes entitled to be cast on a matter and that states the purpose(s) of the meeting, the secretary shall provide all stockholders, within ten days after receipt of said request, written notice of the meeting and the purpose of such meeting. Such meeting must be held on a date not less than 15 nor more than 60 days after the distribution of such notice at a time and place specified in such notice, or, if none is specified, at a time and place convenient to stockholders. The presence in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast 50% of all the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting of stockholders will constitute a quorum. Unless otherwise provided by the Maryland General Corporation Law or our charter, the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes cast is necessary to take stockholder action. With respect to the election of directors, each candidate nominated for election to the board of directors must receive a majority of the votes present, in person or by proxy, in order to be elected. Therefore, if a nominee receives fewer “for” votes than “withhold” votes in an election, the nominee will not be elected.

Under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its charter, merge, convert, sell all or substantially all of its assets, engage in a share exchange or engage in similar transactions outside the ordinary course of business, unless approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. However, a Maryland corporation may provide in its charter for approval of these matters by a lesser percentage, but not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Our charter provides for a majority vote of the holders of K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and A Shares in these situations. Our charter further provides that, without the approval of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on the matter, the board of directors may not:

· amend the charter to materially and adversely affect the rights, preferences<br>and privileges of our stockholders;
· amend charter provisions relating to director qualifications, fiduciary<br>duties, liability and indemnification, conflicts of interest, investment policies or investment restrictions;
--- ---
· cause our liquidation or dissolution after our initial investment<br>in property;
--- ---
· sell all or substantially all of our assets other than in the ordinary<br>course of business or as otherwise permitted by law; or
--- ---
· cause our merger or similar reorganization expect as permitted by<br>law.
--- ---

Our advisor must be approved as our advisor by our directors. This determination will be made every year upon the expiration of the advisory agreement. Although our stockholders do not have the ability to vote to approve our advisor or to select a new advisor, stockholders holding K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and A Shares do have the ability, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, to remove a director from our board.

Inspection of Books and Records

Pursuant to our charter, any stockholder and any designated representative thereof will be permitted access to our corporate records to which such stockholder is entitled under applicable law at all reasonable times, and may inspect and copy any of them. As a part of our books and records, we will maintain at our principal office an alphabetical list of the names of our stockholders, along with their addresses and telephone numbers and the number of shares of capital stock held by each of them. We will update this stockholder list at least quarterly and, except as provided below, it will be available for inspection at our principal office by a stockholder owning A Shares, K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares or B Shares or his or her designated agent upon request of the stockholder. We will also mail this list to any holder of A Shares, K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares or B Shares within ten days of receipt of his or her request except as provided below. The copy of the stockholder list will be printed in alphabetical order, on white paper and in a type size no smaller than 10-point type. We may impose a reasonable charge for expenses incurred in reproducing such list. Stockholders, however, may not sell or use this list for commercial purposes. The purposes for which stockholders may request this list include matters relating to their voting rights.

If our advisor or our board of directors neglects or unreasonably refuses to exhibit, produce or mail a copy of the stockholder list when properly requested, our advisor and/or board of directors, as the case may be, shall be liable to the stockholder requesting the list for the costs, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by that stockholder for compelling the production of the stockholder list and any actual damages suffered by any stockholder for the neglect or refusal to produce the list. It shall be a defense that the actual purpose and reason for the requests for inspection or for a copy of the stockholder list is not for a proper purpose but is instead for the purpose of securing such list of stockholders or other information for the purpose of selling such list or copies thereof, or of using the same for a commercial purpose other than in the interest of the applicant as a stockholder relative to our affairs. We may require that the stockholder requesting the stockholder list represent that the request is not for a commercial purpose unrelated to the stockholder’s interest in us. The remedies provided by our charter to stockholders requesting copies of the stockholder list are in addition to, and do not in any way limit, other remedies available to stockholders under federal law, or the law of any state.

Business Combinations

Under the Maryland General Corporation Law, business combinations between a Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder or the interested stockholder’s affiliate are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. For this purpose, the term “business combination” includes mergers, consolidations, share exchanges, asset transfers and issuances or reclassifications of equity securities. An “interested stockholder” is defined for this purpose as: (1) any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, ten percent or more of the voting power of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock; or (2) an affiliate or associate of the corporation who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then outstanding stock of the corporation. A person is not an interested stockholder under the statute if the board of directors approved in advance the transaction by which he otherwise would have become an interested stockholder. However, in approving a transaction, the board of directors may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the board.

After the five-year prohibition, any business combination between the corporation and an interested stockholder generally must be recommended by the board of directors of the corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at least: (1) 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding voting stock of the corporation; and (2) two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation other than shares held by the interested stockholder or its affiliate with whom the business combination is to be effected, or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder.

These super-majority vote requirements do not apply if the corporation’s stockholders receive a minimum price, as defined under the Maryland General Corporation Law, for their shares in the form of cash or other consideration in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares.

None of these provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law will apply, however, to business combinations that are approved or exempted by the board of directors of the corporation prior to the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. We have opted out of these provisions by resolution of our board of directors. However, our board of directors may, by resolution, opt in to the business combination statute in the future.

Control Share Acquisitions

The Maryland General Corporation Law provides that control shares of a Maryland corporation acquired in a control share acquisition have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of stockholders entitled to cast two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Shares owned by the acquirer, an officer of the corporation or an employee of the corporation who is also a director of the corporation are excluded from the vote on whether to accord voting rights to the control shares. “Control shares” are voting shares that, if aggregated with all other shares owned by the acquirer or with respect to which the acquirer has the right to vote or to direct the voting of, other than solely by virtue of revocable proxy, would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of voting power:

· one-tenth or more but less than one-third;
· one-third or more but less than a majority; or
--- ---
· a majority or more of all voting power.
--- ---

Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval or shares acquired directly from the corporation. Except as otherwise specified in the statute, a “control share acquisition” means the acquisition of issued and outstanding control shares.

Once a person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition has undertaken to pay expenses and has satisfied other required conditions, the person may compel the board of directors to call a special meeting of stockholders to be held within 50 days of the demand to consider the voting rights of the shares. If no request for a meeting is made, the corporation may itself present the question at any stockholders meeting.

If voting rights are not approved for the control shares at the meeting or if the acquiring person does not deliver an “acquiring person statement” for the control shares as required by the statute, the corporation may repurchase any or all of the control shares for their fair value, except for control shares for which voting rights have previously been approved. Fair value is to be determined for this purpose without regard to the absence of voting rights for the control shares, and is to be determined as of the date of any meeting of stockholders at which the voting rights for control shares are considered and not approved or, if no such meeting is held, as of the date of the last control share acquisition.

If voting rights for control shares are approved at a stockholders meeting and the acquirer becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of the shares as determined for purposes of these appraisal rights may not be less than the highest price per share paid in the control share acquisition. Some of the limitations and restrictions otherwise applicable to the exercise of dissenters’ rights do not apply in the context of a control share acquisition.

The control share acquisition statute does not apply to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the transaction or to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws of the corporation.

Our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the control share acquisition statute any and all acquisitions by any person of our stock. There can be no assurance that this provision will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future.

Subtitle 8

Subtitle 8 of Title 3 of the Maryland General Corporation Law permits a Maryland corporation with a class of equity securities registered under the Exchange Act and at least three independent directors to elect to be subject, by provision in its charter or bylaws or a resolution of its board of directors and notwithstanding any contrary provision in the charter or bylaws, to any or all of five provisions:

· a classified board;
· a two-thirds vote requirement for removing a director;
--- ---
· a requirement that the number of directors be fixed only by vote of<br>the directors;
--- ---
· a requirement that a vacancy on the board be filled only by the remaining<br>directors and for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurred; and
--- ---
· a majority requirement for the calling of a special meeting of stockholders.
--- ---

Our charter provides that, at such time as we become eligible to make a Subtitle 8 election and except as may be provided by our board of directors in setting the terms of any class or series of our preferred stock, vacancies on our board of directors may be filled only by the remaining directors and for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurred. Through provisions in our charter and bylaws unrelated to Subtitle 8, we already vest in our board of directors the exclusive power to fix the number of directorships provided that the number is not fewer than three. Our bylaws may be amended by our stockholders or the board of directors.

Tender Offers by a Person

Our charter provides that any tender offer made by a person, including any “mini-tender” offer, must comply with certain notice and disclosure requirements. These procedural requirements with respect to tender offers apply to any widespread solicitation for shares of our stock at firm prices for a limited time period.

In order for a person to conduct a tender offer, our charter requires that the person comply with Regulation 14D of the Exchange Act and provide us notice of such tender offer at least ten business days before initiating the tender offer. Pursuant to our charter, Regulation 14D would require any person initiating a tender offer to provide:

· specific disclosure to stockholders focusing on the terms of the offer<br>and information about the bidder;
· the ability to allow stockholders to withdraw tendered shares while<br>the offer remains open;
--- ---
· the right to have tendered shares accepted on a pro rata basis throughout<br>the term of the offer if the offer is for less than all of our shares; and
--- ---
· that all stockholders of the subject class of shares be treated equally.
--- ---

In addition to the foregoing, there are certain ramifications to persons should they attempt to conduct a noncompliant tender offer. No stockholder may transfer shares to any person who initiates a tender offer without complying with the provisions set forth above unless such stockholder first offers the shares to us at the tender offer price in such noncompliant tender offer. The noncomplying stockholder shall also be responsible for all of our expenses in connection with that stockholder’s noncompliance.

Advance Notice of Director Nominations and New Business

Proposals to elect directors or conduct other business at an annual or special meeting of stockholders must be brought in accordance with our bylaws. The bylaws provide that any business may be transacted at the annual meeting of stockholders without being specifically designated in the notice of meeting. However, with respect to special meetings of stockholders, only the business specified in the notice of the special meeting may be brought at that meeting.

Our bylaws also provide that nominations of individuals for election to our board of directors and the proposal of other business may be made at an annual meeting, but only:

· in accordance with the notice of the meeting;
· by or at the direction of our board of directors; or
--- ---
· by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record at the record date<br>set by the board of directors for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, at the time of the giving<br>of notice and at the time of the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated<br>or on any such other business and who has complied with the advance notice procedures set forth in our bylaws.
--- ---

A notice of a director nomination or stockholder proposal to be considered at an annual meeting must be delivered to our secretary at our principal executive offices:

· not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the 120th day nor<br>earlier than 150 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the proxy statement for the previous year’s annual meeting;<br>or
· if the date of the annual meeting is advanced or delayed by more than<br>30 days from the anniversary date of the preceding year’s annual meeting or if an annual meeting has not yet been held, not<br>earlier than 150 days prior to the annual meeting or not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the later of the 120th day<br>prior to the date of such annual meeting or the tenth day following our first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting.
--- ---

Nominations of individuals for election to our board of directors may be made at a special meeting, but only:

· by or at the direction of our board of directors; or
· provided that the meeting has been called in accordance<br>with our bylaws for the purpose of electing directors, by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record at the record date set<br>by the board of directors for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, at the time of the giving<br>of notice and at the time of the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated<br>and who has complied with the advance notice procedures set forth in our bylaws.
--- ---

A notice of a director nomination to be considered at a special meeting must be delivered to our secretary at our principal executive offices:

· not earlier than 120 days prior to the special meeting; and
· not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the later of either:
--- ---
· 90 days prior to the special meeting; or
--- ---
· ten days following the day of our first public announcement of the<br>date of the special meeting and the nominees proposed by our board of directors to be elected at the meeting.
--- ---

Restrictions on Roll-Up Transactions

Our charter requires that some transactions involving an acquisition, merger, conversion or consolidation in which our stockholders receive securities in a surviving entity (known in the charter as a “roll-up entity”), must be approved by the holders of a majority of our then-outstanding shares of common stock. Approval of a transaction with, or resulting in, a “roll-up entity” is required if as part of the transaction our board of directors determines that it is no longer in our best interest to attempt or continue to qualify as a REIT. Transactions effected because of changes in applicable law or to preserve tax advantages for a majority in interest of our stockholders do not require stockholder approval.

In connection with any proposed transaction considered a “Roll-up Transaction” (defined below) involving us and the issuance of securities of an entity, which we refer to as a “Roll-up Entity,” that would be created or would survive after the successful completion of the Roll-up Transaction, an appraisal of all properties will be obtained from a competent independent appraiser. If the appraisal will be included in a prospectus used to offer the securities of the roll-up entity, the appraisal must be filed with the SEC and the state regulatory commissions as an exhibit to the registration statement for the offering of the roll-up entity’s shares. As a result, an issuer using the appraisal will be subject to liability for violation of Section 11 of the Securities Act and comparable provisions under state laws for any material misrepresentations or material omissions in the appraisal. The properties will be appraised on a consistent basis, and the appraisal will be based on the evaluation of all relevant information and will indicate the value of the properties as of a date immediately preceding the announcement of the proposed Roll-up Transaction. The appraisal will assume an orderly liquidation of properties over a 12-month period. The terms of the engagement of the independent appraiser will clearly state that the engagement is for our benefit and the benefit of our stockholders. A summary of the appraisal, indicating all material assumptions underlying the appraisal, will be included in a report to stockholders in connection with any proposed Roll-up Transaction.

A “Roll-up Transaction” is a transaction involving the acquisition, merger, conversion or consolidation, directly or indirectly, of us and the issuance of securities of a Roll-up Entity. This term does not include:

· a transaction involving our securities that have been for at least<br>12 months listed on a national securities exchange; or
· a transaction involving the conversion to trust, or association form<br>of only us if, as a consequence of the transaction, there will be no significant adverse change in common stockholder voting rights,<br>the term of our existence, compensation to our advisor or its affiliates, or our investment objectives.
--- ---

In connection with a proposed Roll-up Transaction, the person sponsoring the Roll-up Transaction must offer to stockholders entitled to vote on the transaction and who vote “no” on the proposal the choice of:

· accepting the securities of the Roll-up Entity offered in the proposed<br>Roll-up Transaction; or
· one of the following:
--- ---
a. remaining as stockholders of us and preserving their interests therein on the same terms and conditions as existed previously;<br>or
--- ---
b. receiving cash in an amount equal to the stockholder’s pro rata share of the appraised value of our net assets.
--- ---

We would be prohibited from participating in any proposed Roll-up Transaction:

· that would result in our voting stockholders having democracy rights<br>in a Roll-up Entity that are less than those provided in our charter and bylaws and described elsewhere in this prospectus, including<br>rights with respect to the election and removal of directors, annual reports, annual and special meetings, amendment of our charter,<br>and dissolution of us;
· that includes provisions that would operate to materially impede or<br>frustrate the accumulation of shares by any purchaser of the securities of the Roll-up Entity, except to the minimum extent necessary<br>to preserve the tax status of the Roll-up Entity, or that would limit the ability of an investor to exercise the voting rights<br>of its securities of the Roll-up Entity on the basis of the number of shares of stock held by that investor;
--- ---
· in which investors’ rights to access of records of the Roll-up<br>Entity will be less than those provided in this section of this prospectus entitled “— Meetings and Special Voting<br>Requirements”; or
--- ---
· in which any of the costs of the Roll-up Transaction would be borne<br>by us if the Roll-up Transaction is rejected by our stockholders eligible to vote on such transaction.
--- ---

Rights of Objecting Stockholders

Under Maryland law, dissenting stockholders may have, subject to satisfying certain procedures, the right to receive a cash payment representing the fair value of their shares of stock under certain circumstances. As permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law, however, our charter includes a provision that no stockholder may exercise the rights of an “objecting stockholder” under the law unless our board of directors determines that appraisal rights apply, with respect to all or any classes or series of stock, to one or more transactions occurring after the date of such determination in connection with which stockholders would otherwise be entitled to exercise appraisal rights. As a result of this provision, our stockholders will not have the right to dissent from extraordinary transactions, such as our merger into another company or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

Liquidation

We expect to complete a liquidity event approximately five to seven years after the termination of this offering. Our board of directors will consider various forms of liquidity for our stockholders, including, but not limited to: (i) the sale of all or substantially all of our assets for cash or other consideration and our subsequent liquidation and distribution of remaining assets to our stockholders, which we refer to as a “liquidation event”; (ii) the listing of shares of our capital stock on a national securities exchange; and (iii) our company’s sale or merger in a transaction that provides its stockholders with cash, securities, or a combination of cash and securities.

Consideration from a transaction of our company involving a merger or acquisition would be distributed amongst our stockholders in the same manner as proceeds arising from a liquidation event. Proceeds from a liquidation event would be distributed as follows:

Liquidation Preference.   Upon any liquidation event, before any distribution or payment may be made to holders of the A Shares or B Shares, the holder of each K-I Share, K Share, K-T Share and any parity security will be entitled to be paid out of our assets legally available for distribution, after payment or provision for our debts and liabilities (limited, in the case of non-recourse liabilities secured by properties, to the value of those properties and excluding any deferred asset management fees, acquisition fees, and disposition fees (and any interest accrued thereon)) the “liquidation preference” as described above under “— K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares — Liquidation”.

If upon a liquidation event, the available assets of our company, or proceeds thereof, distributable are insufficient to pay in full the liquidation preference on each K-I Share, K Share, K-T Share and parity security, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, will be distributed among the holders of such shares ratably on a per share basis in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.

Deferred Fees.   Upon a liquidation event, if sufficient funds are available to pay the liquidation preference on the K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and parity securities in full, then we will pay, in the following order, all deferred and unpaid asset management fees, all deferred and unpaid acquisition fees, and all deferred and unpaid disposition fees (including interest accrued on all such fees at a non-compounded rate of 6.0% per annum) to our advisor. The Service Provider will be entitled to receive 25% of any such amounts as a fee pursuant to the Services Agreement.

Common Ordinary Distributions.   Upon a liquidation event, after payment of all such deferred fees described in the preceding paragraph, the holder of each A Share will be entitled to be paid out of our assets legally available for distribution, after payment or provision for our debts and liabilities, all accumulated, accrued, and unpaid common ordinary distributions (as described under “— A Shares — Distributions Rights,” above).

Stated Value of A Shares.   Upon a liquidation event, after payment of all common ordinary distributions as described in the preceding paragraph, the holder of each A Share will be entitled to be paid out of our assets legally available for distribution, after payment or provision for our debts and liabilities, an amount equal to the stated value ($10.00) of an A Share for each A Share then held.

Final Distributions.   Upon a liquidation, following the distribution and payment in full of all obligations, 50% (or 87.5% if the A Shares have been repurchased in connection with a Non-cause Advisory Agreement Termination (as defined under “Management Compensation — Payment upon Other Advisory Agreement Termination”) of all remaining liquidation cash (as defined below) available for distribution (as determined by our board, in its discretion) will be paid to the holders of K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and any parity securities (pro rata based on the number of K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and parity securities), 37.5% of remaining liquidation cash will be distributed to the holders of A Shares (pro rata based on the number of A Shares) (unless all such A Shares previously have been repurchased in connection with a Non-cause Advisory Agreement Termination, in which case the remaining liquidation cash otherwise apportioned to the A Shares would be distributed to the holders of K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and parity securities), and 12.5% of remaining liquidation cash will be distributed to the holders of B Shares. “Remaining liquidation cash” means all cash available for distribution, as determined by our board after (i) payment in full of, or the setting aside of reserves for, all of our debts and liabilities, limited, in the case of non-recourse liabilities secured by properties, to the value of those properties, and excluding liabilities for the payment of deferred asset management fees, acquisition fees, and disposition fees (and any interest accrued thereon); (ii) payment in full of the liquidation preference on all outstanding K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and parity securities; (iii) the full asset management fees are paid, including any deferred amounts and interest accrued thereon; (iv) the full acquisition fees and disposition fees are paid, including any interest accrued thereon; (v) all accrued common ordinary distributions on our A Shares are paid; and (vi) payment in full of the stated value of outstanding A Shares (as described above under “Description of Capital Stock — Liquidation — Stated Value of A Shares”).

Listing Event

We expect that if we were to list any of our shares of capital stock on a national securities exchange, we would list K Shares (or successor securities). The following information assumes that we list K Shares. In such event, outstanding K-T Shares and K-I Shares would automatically convert on a one-to-one basis to K Shares. Pursuant to our charter, if we list any of our shares of capital stock on a national securities exchange, our board of directors must give prior notice of such listing to the holders of A Shares, and such holders of A Shares (including our advisor and its affiliates) will have the right to either (a) receive one K Share (or successor security) for each A Share held as of the date our board gives notice of an intended listing to our holders of A Shares (to be effective on the date of such listing) or (b) require us to repurchase each A Share for the consideration described below, which will equal the amount each A Share would be entitled to receive if we liquidated and received liquidation proceeds equal to the “market value” of our company (as defined below). Each holder of A Shares will have at least 20 days to make such election.

“Market value” means the sum of  (i) the value of the capital stock listed on a national securities exchange based on the average market value of the shares of such stock issued and outstanding at the listing over the 30 days beginning 180 days after the shares of our stock are listed or included for quotation plus (ii) the value of any capital stock not listed on an exchange, if any, for the same period, as determined in good faith by our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors.

In addition, we will be obligated to pay our advisor the amounts it would be entitled to receive on account of deferred asset management fees, acquisition fees, and disposition fees (and any accrued interest thereon) as if we liquidated and received liquidation proceeds equal to the market value of our company; however, for purposes of determining our advisor’s entitlement to the payment of such fees and interest, the effect of any elections to convert A Shares to K Shares will be disregarded. That is, assuming the market value was at least equal to the liquidation preference due on our K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and any parity securities (excluding any liquidation preference associated with K Shares issued in exchange for A Shares), our advisor would be entitled to receive an amount equal to (a) any deferred asset management fees, plus any interest accrued thereon, (b) the full acquisition fees previously earned, plus any interest accrued therein, and (c) the full disposition fees previously earned, plus any interest accrued thereon. However, any consideration on account of such fees will be limited to the excess of the market value over the liquidation preference on such K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and parity securities. The Service Provider (an affiliate of the dealer manager) would be entitled to receive 25% of any such amounts as a fee pursuant to the Services Agreement. These amounts may be payable to our advisor and the Service Provider in the form of a promissory note bearing interest at the then-current rate, as determined in good faith by a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, or in the form of capital stock that was listed on a national securities exchange, valued at the same price per share as that used to determine market value.

We will repurchase the A Shares held by stockholders not electing to exchange their shares for K Shares (or successor securities) at a repurchase price determined as if we liquidated and received liquidation proceeds equal to the market value. Specifically, the aggregate repurchase price for A Shares will equal:

(1) any accumulated, accrued, and unpaid common ordinary distributions on the A Shares (excluding A Shares exchanged or to be exchanged<br>for K Shares or successor securities), limited to the excess of the market value over the sum of  (a) the liquidation<br>preference on our K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and parity securities outstanding as of the listing (excluding K Shares issued<br>in exchange for A Shares as described above) plus (b) the deferred asset management, acquisition and disposition fees and<br>interest thereon; plus
(2) the aggregate stated value ($10.00 per A Share) of the outstanding A Shares (not otherwise exchanged for K Shares or successor<br>securities) immediately prior to listing, limited to the excess of the market value over the sum of  (a) the liquidation<br>preference on our K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and parity securities outstanding as of the listing (excluding K Shares issued<br>in exchange for A Shares), plus (b) the deferred fees and interest thereon, plus (c) the accumulated, accrued, and unpaid<br>common ordinary distributions on our A Shares (excluding A Shares exchanged or to be exchanged for K Shares or successor securities);<br>plus
--- ---
(3) 37.5% of the excess, if any, of the market value over the aggregate of  (a) the liquidation preference on our K-I<br>Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and parity securities outstanding as of the listing (excluding K Shares issued in exchange for A Shares),<br>plus (b) the above-described deferred asset management, acquisition, and disposition fees and interest thereon, plus (c) the<br>accumulated, accrued, and unpaid common ordinary distributions on our A Shares (excluding A Shares exchanged or to be exchanged<br>for K Shares or successor securities) plus (d) the aggregate stated value of the outstanding A Shares (not otherwise exchanged<br>for K Shares or successor securities) immediately prior to the listing.
--- ---

If the market value exceeds the aggregate of  (a) the liquidation preference on our K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and parity securities outstanding as of the listing (excluding K Shares issued in exchange for A Shares), plus (b) the deferred asset management, acquisition and disposition fees and interest thereon, plus (c) the accrued common ordinary distributions on our A Shares (excluding A Shares exchanged or to be exchanged for K Shares or successor securities), plus (d) the aggregate stated value of the outstanding A Shares (not otherwise exchanged for K Shares or successor securities) immediately prior to the listing, we will repurchase the B Shares for an amount equal to 12.5% of such excess, payable to such holders of B Shares pro rata in accordance with the number of B Shares. If the market value does not support payment of such amounts, the B Shares will be repurchased and canceled for no consideration.

All payments of the repurchase price, if any, and whether on the A Shares or the B Shares, will be in the form of a promissory note bearing interest at the then-current rate or in the form of shares of our capital stock listed on a national securities exchange, valued at the same price per share as that used to determine market value. Our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, will determine the form of consideration and the then-current interest rate on any promissory note.

If the balances of any promissory notes issued in payment of the above amounts (whether in respect of deferred fees and interest thereon or in respect of the repurchase of A Shares or B Shares) have not been paid in full within five years from the date the advisory agreement was terminated, then our advisor, Service Provider, their successors or assigns, and any other holders of A Shares receiving promissory notes, may elect to convert the unpaid balance of the notes, including accrued but unpaid interest, into K Shares (or successor securities) at a value per K Share (or successor security) as determined in accordance with the following paragraph. Promissory notes not redeemed will mature on the eighth anniversary of the date the advisory agreement was terminated.

If the K Shares (or such successor securities) are then listed on a national securities exchange, the conversion will occur at a price per share equal to the average closing price of the K Shares (or such successor securities) over the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of such election. If such securities are not then listed, the conversion will occur at a price per share equal to the most recently determined NAV per K Share, as adjusted in good faith by our board of directors (including a majority of our independent directors).

Plan of Liquidation

If we do not begin the process of achieving a liquidity event by the seventh anniversary of the termination of this offering, our charter requires a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, to adopt a resolution declaring that a plan of liquidation of our company is advisable and directing that the plan of liquidation be submitted for consideration at either an annual or special meeting of stockholders, unless the adoption of a plan of liquidation by our board of directors and submission of such plan to stockholders is postponed by a vote of a majority of our board of directors and a majority of the independent directors. If we submit a plan of liquidation to our stockholders, holders of K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and A Shares voting together as a single class, will each be entitled to one vote for each such share held as of the record data established by our board of such vote. If we have sought and failed to receive approval of such stockholders of a plan of liquidation, we will continue operating and, upon the written request of the holders of K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and A Shares owning in the aggregate not less than 10% of the then outstanding K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares and A Shares, the plan of liquidation will be submitted for consideration by proxy statement to such stockholders up to once every two years.

Market conditions and other factors could cause us to delay our liquidity event beyond the seventh anniversary of the termination of this or a public offering. Even after we decide to pursue a liquidity event, we are under no obligation to conclude our liquidity event within a set time frame because the timing of our liquidity event will depend on real estate market conditions, financial market conditions, U.S. federal income tax consequences to stockholders, and other conditions that may prevail in the future. We also cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve a liquidity event.

Prior to the completion of a liquidity event, our share repurchase program may provide a limited opportunity for you to have your K-I Shares, K Shares or K-T Shares repurchased, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, at a price which may reflect a discount from the purchase price you paid for the shares being repurchased. See “— Share Repurchase Program” above for a detailed description of our share repurchase program.
