Ashford Prime Files Resale Shelf Registration
DALLAS, Nov. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Ashford Hospitality Prime, Inc. (NYSE: AHP) ("Ashford Prime" or the "Company") announced today that it has filed a resale shelf registration statement ("Resale Shelf Registration") on Form S-3 with the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Resale Shelf Registration relates to the potential future exchange and resale of up to 8,776,152 operating partnership units for shares of our common stock. As a result of the transactions relating to the spin-off from Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. ("Ashford Trust") in November 2013, certain limited partners of a subsidiary of Ashford Trust received these operating partnership units in a subsidiary of Ashford Prime. In connection with these transactions, those limited partners received registration rights that contractually obligate the Company to file the Resale Shelf Registration. The Company filed the Resale Shelf Registration to provide those limited partners with freely tradable securities.
The registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold, nor may offers to buy, be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.
Ashford Hospitality Prime is a conservatively capitalized real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on investing in high RevPAR full-service and urban select-service hotels and resorts located predominantly in domestic and international gateway markets.
