Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On October 31, 2013, Chatham Lodging Trust (the "Company") completed the previously announced acquisition of the 231-room Residence Inn by Marriott® Seattle Bellevue/Downtown Hotel in Bellevue, Washington (the "Bellevue Hotel") for a total cash purchase price of $73.2 million, less $1.4 million for a credit related to reserves, plus customary pro-rated amounts and closing costs, from MG-Bellevue, LLC. The Bellevue Hotel will be managed by Island Hospitality Management ("IHM"), which is 90% owned by Jeffrey H. Fisher, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to a management agreement between the Company's taxable real estate investment trust subsidiary and IHM.
The management agreement with IHM for the Bellevue Hotel provides for base management fees equal to 3% of the hotel's gross room revenue, a revenue management fee equal to $1,000 per month and an accounting fee equal to $1,200 per month. The initial term of the management agreement is for five years, which will renew automatically for two successive five-year terms unless terminated by the TRS or IHM by written notice to the other party no later than 90 days prior to the term's expiration. The management agreement may be terminated for cause, including failure of the Bellevue Hotel's operating performance to meet specified levels, or upon the sale of the hotel.
The Company funded the acquisition of the Bellevue Hotel with available cash and with borrowings under the Company's senior secured revolving credit facility.
