The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (the “Amendment No. 1”). This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.
Item 2. | Identity and Background. |
Item 2 is hereby amended to add the following:
In connection with the Termination of Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement attached as exhibit 99.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference, Messrs. Collie and Sutton are no longer members of the Section 13(d) group and shall cease to be Reporting Persons immediately upon the filing of this Amendment No. 1. The remaining Reporting Persons will continue filing statements on Schedule 13D with respect to their beneficial ownership of securities of the Issuer to the extent required by applicable law. Each of the remaining Reporting Persons is party to the Joint Filing Agreement, as further described in Item 6.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
On May 6, 2015, the Reporting Persons issued a press release supporting the addition of Preferred Stock directors on the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Reporting Persons stated their view that the Board additions are an important first step, but cautioned that more remains to be done. The press release urged the Board to stay the course with continued asset sales that would enable the Issuer to deleverage its balance sheet and return to profitability. In addition, the Board should conduct a global restructuring of the Issuer’s balance sheet, including making all loans non-recourse to the parent similar to most hotel companies. The Reporting Persons concluded they are encouraged by positive developments at the Issuer but will monitor the Board closely to ensure it continues on a course that enhances shareholder value.
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer. |
Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:
On May 6, 2015, the Reporting Persons terminated the Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement. A copy of such termination agreement is attached hereto as exhibit 99.2.
On May 6, 2015, the Reporting Persons entered into a Joint Filing Agreement in which the Reporting Persons who will remain Reporting Persons subsequent to this Amendment No. 1 agreed to the joint filing on behalf of each of them of statements on Schedule 13D with respect to the securities of the Issuer to the extent required by applicable law. A copy of this agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7. | Material to be Filed as Exhibits. |
Item 7 is hereby amended to add the following exhibits:
| 99.1 | Press Release, dated May 6, 2015 |
| 99.2 | Termination of Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement, dated May 6, 2015 |
| 99.3 | Joint Filing Agreement, dated May 6, 2015 |
