At the annual shareholders meeting on May 22, 2012, the holders of the common stock and convertible Series C preferred stock of Supertel Hospitality, Inc., voting as one group, approved an amendment to the Supertel 2006 Stock Plan.  The amendment increases the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan from 300,000 to 500,000 and removes the restrictions in the Plan that prohibit more than 20% of the awards being given to any one participant or to the independent directors as a group, or prohibiting more than 20% of the awards being made in restricted stock or bonus shares.  The foregoing summary of the amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment to Supertel 2006 Stock Plan included as an exhibit to this Form 8-K.
 
On May 22, 2012, an award was made of 25,000 shares of restricted common stock to Kelly Walters, President and Chief Executive Officer and 20,000 shares of restricted common stock to Corrine Scarpello, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The award was approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and was conditioned on the above approval of the shareholders of the amendment to the 2006 Stock Plan. The shares are restricted to continued employment of the executive, and the restriction will lapse and the shares will vest in 50% increments on each of the first anniversary and second anniversary of issuance.
 
Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
