Item 8.01 Other Events.
Prorated Share Repurchases for 2024 Third Quarter Repurchase Date
Pursuant to its Amended and Restated Share Repurchase Program (the “SRP”), Procaccianti Hotel REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) limits the number of shares repurchased pursuant to the SRP as follows: (1) the Company will not repurchase in excess of 5.0% of the weighted average number of shares of Class K common stock (“K Shares”), shares of Class K-1 common stock (“K-I Shares”) and shares of class K-T common stock (“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 the Company receives from the sale of shares under its distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) and any other operating funds that may be authorized by our board of directors (the “Board”), in its sole discretion (such limitation under (2), the “Funding Limitation”). The foregoing limits might prevent the Company from accommodating all repurchase requests made in any fiscal quarter or in any 12-month period, in which case quarterly repurchases will generally be made pro rata, as described below. If the Company cannot purchase all shares presented for repurchase in any fiscal quarter, due to the Funding Limitation and/or the limit on the number of shares the Company may repurchase during any year, the Company will give first priority to the repurchase of deceased stockholders’ shares.
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. The Company will next give priority to (i) requests of stockholders with “qualifying disabilities” (as defined in the SRP), and in the discretion of the Board, 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 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 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.
On November 19, 2024, the Board determined that the Funding Limitation was reached with respect to share repurchase requests for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, as there were insufficient net proceeds from the DRIP to fund all share repurchase requests. Requests to repurchase deceased stockholders’ shares will be repurchased based on a proration of approximately 44.9% of the shares made in the requests. There was one request within category (i) above; however, it was not prioritized by the Company. There were no repurchase requests of shares received by the Company within category (ii) above.
