Apple REIT Ten, Inc. (which is referred to below as the “Company” or as “we,” “us” or “our”) is filing this report in accordance with Item 2.01 and Item 9.01 of Form 8-K.

   

Item 2.01.      Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On August 9, 2011, through one of our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “purchasing subsidiary”), we closed on the purchase of a hotel located in Knoxville, Tennessee. The hotel acquired by our purchasing subsidiary is a TownePlace Suites® hotel containing 98 guest rooms. The purchase price for the hotel was $9,000,000. The seller has no material relationship with us or our subsidiaries, other than through the purchase contract and other related contracts.

Our purchasing subsidiary assumed an existing loan secured by this hotel. The hotel serves as collateral under the loan. The outstanding principal balance under the loan is approximately $7.4 million. The loan has an annual fixed interest rate of approximately 5.45% and a maturity date of December 2015. The loan provides for monthly payments of principal and interest on an amortized basis.

 

The purchase price less the assumed loan was funded by our ongoing offering of Units (with each Unit consisting of one common share and one Series A preferred share).

 

As a result of the Knoxville, Tennessee TownePlace Suites closing described above, seven of the closings have occurred under a series of purchase contracts executed on April 12, 2011 and May 4, 2011 for the potential purchase of ten hotels. Two contracts in this series were terminated on April 29, 2011. There can be no assurance at this time that a further closing will occur under the remaining purchase contract. Additional information regarding nine of the purchase contracts (including the Knoxville, Tennessee TownePlace Suites purchased on August 9, 2011) is set forth in our Form 8-K dated April 12, 2011 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 15, 2011, which is incorporated herein by reference. Additional information regarding one of the purchase contracts is set forth in our Form 8-K dated May 4, 2011 and filed with the SEC on May 6, 2011, which is incorporated herein by reference. Additional information regarding the two terminated contracts is set forth in our Form 8-K dated April 29, 2011 and filed with the SEC on May 5, 2011, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

All brand and trade names, logos or trademarks contained, or referred to, in this Form 8-K are the properties of their respective owners.

 

Item 9.01.      Financial Statements and Exhibits.
