Related Party Transactions Disclosure [Text Block] | 6. Related Parties The Company has, and is expected to continue to engage in, significant transactions with related parties. These transactions cannot be construed to be at arm’s length and the results of the Company’s operations may be different if these transactions were conducted with non-related parties. The Company’s independent members of the Board of Directors oversee and annually review the Company’s related party relationships (including the relationships discussed in this section) and are required to approve any significant modifications to existing relationships, as well as any new significant related party transactions. The Board of Directors is not required to approve each individual transaction that falls under the related party relationships. However, under the direction of the Board of Directors, at least one member of the Company’s senior management team approves each related party transaction. As of June 30, 2016, there have been no changes to the contracts and relationships discussed in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than the Merger Agreement and related transactions discussed herein. Below is a summary of the related party relationships in effect and transactions that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Glade M. Knight, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is currently Executive Chairman of Apple Hospitality. ARG and A10A are wholly owned by Mr. Knight. Mr. Knight is also Chief Executive Officer and partner of Energy 11 GP, LLC, which is the general partner of Energy 11, L.P. Justin G. Knight, the Company’s President, also serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of Apple Hospitality and is a member of the Board of Directors of Apple Hospitality. The Company is externally managed and does not have any employees. ARG provides the Company with property acquisition and disposition services. Its advisor, A10A, provides the Company with its day-to-day management services. The Company pays fees and reimburses certain expenses to A10A and ARG for these services. A10A has subcontracted its obligations to Apple Hospitality, which provides to the Company the advisory services contemplated under the A10A advisory agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) and Apple Hospitality receives the fees and expense reimbursements payable under the Advisory Agreement from the Company. The subcontract agreement has no impact on the Company’s Advisory Agreement with A10A. ARG Agreement The Company has a contract with ARG to acquire and dispose of real estate assets for the Company. A fee of 2% of the gross purchase price or gross sale price in addition to certain reimbursable expenses is paid to ARG for these services. As of June 30, 2016, payments to ARG for fees under the terms of this contract have totaled approximately $20.4 million since inception. Of this amount, the Company incurred fees of $0.5 million and $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, which are included in transaction costs in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. A10A Agreement Under the Advisory Agreement, A10A provides management services to the Company. As discussed above, A10A subcontracts its obligations under this agreement to Apple Hospitality. An annual fee ranging from 0.1% to 0.25% of total equity proceeds received by the Company, in addition to certain reimbursable expenses as described below, is payable to Apple Hospitality for these management services. Total advisory fees incurred by the Company under the Advisory Agreement are included in general and administrative expenses and totaled approximately $1.2 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Advisors Cost Sharing Structure In addition to the fees payable to ARG and A10A, the Company reimbursed to ARG or A10A, or paid directly to Apple Hospitality on behalf of ARG or A10A, approximately $1.5 million and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The costs are included in general and administrative expenses and are for the Company’s allocated share of the staffing and related costs provided by Apple Hospitality through its relationships with ARG and A10A. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, total amounts due to Apple Hospitality for reimbursements under the cost sharing structure totaled approximately $0.01 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and are included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. As part of the cost sharing arrangements, certain day-to-day transactions may result in amounts due to or from the Company. To efficiently manage cash disbursements, the Company, Apple Hospitality, ARG or A10A may make payments for any or all of the related companies. Under the cash management process, each of the companies may advance or defer up to $1 million at any time. Each month, any outstanding amounts are settled among the affected companies. This process allows each company to minimize its cash on hand, which, in turn, reduces the cost of each company’s credit facility. The amounts outstanding at any point in time are not significant to any of the companies. Apple Air Holding, LLC (“Apple Air”) Membership Interest Included in other assets, net on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is a 26% equity investment in Apple Air. As of June 30, 2016, the other member of Apple Air was Apple Hospitality, which owned a 74% interest. The Company’s equity investment was approximately $0.7 million and $0.6 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, and is included in other assets, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company has recorded its share of income and losses of the entity under the equity method of accounting and adjusted its investment in Apple Air accordingly. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $0.1 million for each period as its share of the net loss of Apple Air, which primarily relates to the depreciation of the aircraft, and is included in general and administrative expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Through its equity investment, the Company has access to Apple Air’s aircraft primarily for acquisition, asset management and renovation purposes. Total costs paid for the usage of the aircraft were not significant during the reporting periods. Merger Agreement and Related Transactions Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, as discussed in Note 2, on April 13, 2016, the Company, Apple Hospitality, A10A and ARG entered into a termination agreement (the “termination agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the termination agreement, the Advisory Agreement, property acquisition/disposition agreement and subcontract agreement with respect to the Company, discussed above, will be terminated effective immediately after the effective time of the merger, and no fees will be payable as a result of the termination of these agreements. As a result, if the merger is completed, the Company would no longer pay the various fees currently paid under these agreements and would no longer have any advisory contracts with A10A or ARG after the merger. Both the advisory fees and reimbursed costs paid by the Company to Apple Hospitality are recorded as general and administrative expense by the Company and reductions to general and administrative expense by Apple Hospitality and, therefore, the termination of the Advisory Agreement and subcontract agreement will have no financial impact on the combined company after the effective time of the merger. Also, under the Merger Agreement, Apple Ten’s 26% interest in Apple Air would be part of the assets acquired by Apple Hospitality if the merger is completed. As discussed in Note 2, at the effective time of the merger, the Company will incur an expense related to the conversion of the Company’s Series B convertible preferred shares into common shares of Apple Hospitality for the period immediately prior to the merger, which based on the closing price of Apple Hospitality’s common shares as of June 30, 2016, would result in an expense to the Company of approximately $62.9 million. |
