On June 30, 2004, the Court of Appeals of Tennessee (the “Court of Appeals”) ruled in favor of Metric Partners Growth Suite Investors, L.P., a California Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) with respect to the claims asserted by plaintiffs (the “Plaintiffs”) inOrlando Residence Ltd. vs. 2300 Elm Hill Pike, Inc. and Nashville Lodging Company vs. Metric Partners Growth Suite Investors, L.P.This case was being heard on appeal from the Chancery Court for Davidson County, in Nashville, Tennessee (the “Chancery Court”). The appeal concerned a judgment by the Chancery Court that the Partnership had breached a settlement agreement between an affiliate of the Plaintiffs and the Partnership requiring the Partnership to purchase certain land in Nashville, Tennessee, but that the Plaintiffs were entitled to no damages. The Court of Appeals affirmed the decision of the Chancery Court in all respects. Thus, the judgment that the Plaintiffs are entitled to receive no damages from the Partnership has been affirmed. The Plaintiffs may seek a rehearing before the Court of Appeals or a hearing before the Tennessee Supreme Court.
For a more complete description of this complex litigation, please see the Partnership’s filings with the Securities Exchange Commission in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.
