Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 15, 2015, Red Lion Hotels Corporation (RLHC) redeemed all of its outstanding 9.5% Junior Subordinated Debentures Due February 24, 2044 (the debentures) for a redemption price equal to $31,434,828.28, consisting of principal in the amount of $30,824,755.00 and accrued distributions in the amount of $610,073.28. Immediately following the redemption, Wilmington Trust Company, the trustee under the Indenture for the Debentures dated as of February 24, 2004 (the indenture), delivered to RLHC a written Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture acknowledging that RLHC's obligations under the indenture and the debentures have been satisfied and canceling the indenture and the debentures.
The debentures were held by Red Lion Hotels Capital Trust (the trust), a Delaware statutory trust sponsored by RLHC. Following redemption of the Debentures, the trustees of the trust applied the redemption proceeds as follows to liquidate all of the outstanding securities of the trust:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Securities | Liquidation Amount | | Accrued Distributions | | Total |
9.5% Trust Preferred Securities (NYSE: RLH-pa) |
| $29,900,000.00 |
| |
| $591,770.83 |
| |
| $30,491,770.83 |
|
9.5% Trust Common Securities | 924,755.00 |
| | 18,302.45 |
| | 943,057.45 |
|
|
| $30,824,755.00 |
| |
| $610,073.28 |
| |
| $31,434,828.28 |
|
RHLC held the trust common securities and received all of the proceeds from their liquidation.
In connection with the liquidation of these securities, RLHC recognized a loss of $1.7 million for the early termination of debt. The loss primarily related to the write off of unamortized debt issuance costs paid by RLHC at the inception of the trust.
The liquidation of these securities automatically terminated RLHC’s guarantees with respect to these securities.
Following the liquidation of these securities, a certificate of cancellation with respect to the trust was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, and the trust dissolved.
