Determination of Estimated Per Share NAVs

 

On June 10, 2020, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), at the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Committee”), comprised solely of independent directors, unanimously approved and established the Estimated Per Share NAVs. The Estimated Per Share NAVs are based on the estimated value of the Company’s assets less the estimated value of the Company’s liabilities, divided by the approximate number of shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis, calculated as of March 31, 2020 (the “Valuation Date”). The Company is providing the Estimated Per Share NAVs to assist broker-dealers in connection with their obligations under National Association of Securities Dealers Conduct Rule 2340, as required by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), with respect to customer account statements. This valuation was performed in accordance with the provisions of Practice Guideline 2013-01, Valuations of Publicly Registered Non-Listed REITs, issued by the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (formerly known as the Investment Program Association) (the “IPA”) in April 2013 (the “IPA Valuation Guidelines”), in addition to guidance from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company believes that there were no material changes between the Valuation Date and the date of this filing that would impact the Estimated Per Share NAVs.

 

The Committee, pursuant to authority delegated by the Board, was responsible for the oversight of the valuation process, including the review and approval of the valuation process and methodology used to determine the Company’s Estimated Per Share NAVs, the consistency of the valuation and appraisal methodologies with real estate industry standards and practices and the reasonableness of the assumptions used in the valuations and appraisals.

 

The Estimated Per Share NAVs were determined after consultation with our advisor, Procaccianti Hotel Advisors, LLC (“PHA,” or, alternatively, our “Advisor”), and Robert A. Stanger & Co, Inc. (“Stanger”), an independent third-party valuation firm. The engagement of Stanger was approved by the Committee. Stanger prepared appraisal reports (collectively, the “Appraisal Reports”) that summarized key information and assumptions and provided an appraised value for each of the four properties (collectively, the “Appraised Properties”) in the Company’s portfolio as of March 31, 2020. Stanger also prepared a NAV report (the “NAV Report”) that estimates the NAV per share of each of the Company’s K-I Shares, K Shares, K-T Shares, A Shares, and B Shares. The NAV Report relied upon: (i) the Appraisal Reports for the Appraised Properties; (ii) Stanger’s estimate of the Company’s secured notes payable; (iii) Stanger’s estimate of the six percent per annum dividend rate (for periods prior to March 31, 2020) and seven percent per annum dividend rate (for periods on and after March 31, 2020) on a stated value of $10.00 per share due to holders of Class K Shares, Class K-I Shares and Class K-T Shares as of March 31, 2020 (the “K Share Hurdle”) and (iv) the Advisor’s estimate of the value of the Company’s other assets and liabilities, to calculate each of the Estimated Per Share NAVs of the Company’s common and capital stock, and such other reviews as deemed necessary by Stanger. The process for estimating the value of the Company’s assets and liabilities was performed in accordance with the provisions of the IPA Valuation Guidelines.

 

Upon the Committee’s receipt and review of the Appraisal Reports and the NAV Report (collectively, the “Reports”), the Committee recommended to the Board: (i) $8.55 as the estimated per share NAV per K-I Share; (ii) $8.56 as the estimated per share NAV per K Share; (iii) $8.56 as the estimated per share NAV per K-T Share; (iv) $0.00 as the estimated per share NAV per A Share; and (v) $0.00 as the estimated per share NAV per B Share, each as of March 31, 2020. Upon the Board’s receipt and review of the Appraisal Reports and recommendation of the Committee, the Board approved the foregoing values as the Company’s Estimated Per Share NAVs.

 

 

 

 

The table below sets forth the calculation of the Company’s Estimated Per Share NAVs as of March 31, 2020, as well as the comparable calculation as of March 31, 2019. Certain amounts are reflected net of noncontrolling interests, as applicable.

(1)In general, because the proceeds from the sale of A Shares are used to pay organization and offering expenses of K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares, the value of each of the K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares is higher than if such shares paid their associated organization and offering expenses.

  

Methodology and Key Assumptions

 

In determining the Estimated Per Share NAVs, the Board considered the recommendation of the Committee, the Reports provided by Stanger and information provided by the Advisor. The Company’s goal in calculating the Estimated Per Share NAVs is to arrive at a value that is reasonable and supportable using what the Committee and the Board each deems to be appropriate valuation methodologies and assumptions.

 

FINRA’s current rules provide no guidance on the methodology an issuer must use to determine its estimated per share NAV. As with any valuation methodology, the methodologies used are based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that may not be accurate or complete. Different parties with different assumptions and estimates could derive a different estimated per share NAV, and these differences could be significant. The Estimated Per Share NAVs are not audited and does not represent the fair value of the Company’s assets less its liabilities according to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), nor does it represent a liquidation value of the Company’s assets and liabilities or the amount the Company’s shares of common stock would trade at on a national securities exchange. The estimated asset values may not, however, represent current market value or book value. The estimated value of the Appraised Properties do not necessarily represent the value the Company would receive or accept if the assets were marketed for sale. The Estimated Per Share NAVs do not reflect a discount for the fact that the Company is externally managed, nor does it reflect a real estate portfolio premium/discount compared to the sum of the individual property values. The Estimated Per Share NAVs also do not take into account estimated disposition costs and fees for real estate properties that are not held for sale.

 

 

 

 

 

The outbreak of the COVID-19, declared by the World Health Organization as a global pandemic on March 11, 2020, has caused and is continuing to cause heightened uncertainty in both local and global market conditions. The effect COVID-19 will have on the real estate markets generally, and on the hospitality industry, will depend in part on both the scale and longevity of the pandemic. While market activity is being impacted in most sectors, at this stage hospitality and retail sectors have been most significantly impacted due to the increased response by local and global authorities, including shelter in place orders, restriction of travel and growing international concern. Although the Estimated Per Share NAV conclusions prepared by Stanger and subsequently determined by the Board are based on the information available at March 31, 2020, previous market information available on March 31, 2020 that was used for comparison purposes is now less reliable to inform opinions of value. The changing responses to COVID-19 create an unprecedented set of circumstances on which to base a judgment. Consequently, less certainty – and a higher degree of caution – should be attached to the Estimated Per Share NAVs than would normally be the case.

 

Independent Valuation Firm

 

Stanger was selected by the Committee to appraise and provide a value on the four Appraised Properties. Stanger is engaged in the business of appraising commercial real estate properties and is not affiliated with the Company or the Advisor. The compensation the Company paid to Stanger related to the valuation is based on the scope of work and not on the appraised values of the Company’s real estate properties. The appraisals were performed in accordance with the Code of Ethics and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, or USPAP, the real estate appraisal industry standards created by The Appraisal Foundation. The Appraisal Reports were reviewed, approved, and signed by an individual with the professional designation of MAI licensed in the state where each real property is located. The use of the reports is subject to the requirements of the Appraisal Institute relating to review by its duly authorized representatives. In preparing its Reports, Stanger did not, and was not requested to, solicit third-party indications of interest for the Company’s common stock in connection with possible purchases thereof or the acquisition of all or any part of the Company.

 

Stanger collected reasonably available material information that it deemed relevant in appraising the Company’s real estate properties. Stanger relied in part on property-level information provided by the Advisor, including historical and projected operating revenues and expenses and information regarding recent or planned capital expenditures.

 

In conducting their investigation and analyses, Stanger took into account customary and accepted financial and commercial procedures and considerations as they deemed relevant. Although Stanger reviewed information supplied or otherwise made available by the Company or the Advisor for reasonableness, they assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all such information and of all information supplied or otherwise made available to them by any other party and did not independently verify any such information. Stanger has assumed that any operating or financial forecasts and other information and data provided to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with Stanger were reasonably prepared in good faith on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the Company’s management, the Board, and/or the Advisor. Stanger relied on the Company to advise them promptly if any information previously provided became inaccurate or was required to be updated during the period of their review.

 

In performing its analyses, Stanger made numerous other assumptions as of various points in time with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, and regulatory conditions, and other matters, many of which are beyond their control and the Company’s control. Stanger also made assumptions with respect to certain factual matters. For example, unless specifically informed to the contrary, Stanger assumed that the Company has clear and marketable title to each real estate property appraised, that no title defects exist, that any improvements were made in accordance with law, that no hazardous materials are present or were present previously, that no significant deed restrictions exist, and that no changes to zoning ordinances or regulations governing use, density, or shape are pending or being considered. Furthermore, Stanger’s analyses, opinions, and conclusions were necessarily based upon market, economic, financial, and other circumstances and conditions existing as of or prior to the date of the Appraisal Reports, and any material change in such circumstances and conditions may affect Stanger’s analyses and conclusions, including changes due to the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and related economic effects. The Appraisal Reports contain other assumptions, qualifications, and limitations that qualify the analyses, opinions, and conclusions set forth therein. Furthermore, the prices at which the Company’s real estate properties may actually be sold could differ from Stanger’s analyses.

 

Stanger is actively engaged in the business of appraising commercial real estate properties similar to those owned by the Company in connection with public security offerings, private placements, business combinations, and similar transactions. The Company does not believe that there are any material conflicts of interest between Stanger, on the one hand, and the Company, the Advisor, and their affiliates, on the other hand. The Company engaged Stanger, with approval from the Committee, to deliver its Reports to assist in the NAV calculation and Stanger received compensation for those efforts. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify Stanger against certain liabilities arising out of this engagement. In the two years prior to the date of this filing, Stanger was engaged by the Company in connection with the March 31, 2019 and the February 28, 2018 estimated per share NAVs for which Stanger was paid usual and customary fees. Stanger may from time to time in the future perform other services for the Company, so long as such other services do not adversely affect the independence of Stanger as certified in the applicable Appraisal Reports.

 

Although Stanger considered any comments received from the Company or the Advisor relating to their Reports, the final appraised values of the Company’s real estate properties were determined by Stanger for the Appraised Properties. The Reports are addressed solely to the Committee to assist it in calculating and recommending to the Board an estimated per share NAV of the Company’s common and capital stock. The Reports are not addressed to the public, may not be relied upon by any other person to establish an estimated per share NAV of the Company’s common and capital stock, and do not constitute a recommendation to any person to purchase or sell any shares of the Company’s common and capital stock.

 

The foregoing is a summary of the standard assumptions, qualifications, and limitations that generally apply to the Reports. The Reports, including the analysis, opinions, and conclusions set forth in such reports, are qualified by the assumptions, qualifications, and limitations set forth in the respective reports.

 

 

 

 

Real Estate Valuation

 

As described above, the Company engaged Stanger to provide an appraisal of the Appraised Properties consisting of four properties in the Company’s portfolio as of March 31, 2020. In preparing the Appraisal Report, Stanger, among other things:

 

·interviewed the Company’s officers or the Advisor’s personnel to obtain information relating to the physical condition of each Appraised Property, including known environmental conditions, status of ongoing or planned property additions and reconfigurations, and other factors for such leased properties;

 

·reviewed historical operating statements, revenue per available room, average daily rate, occupancy for the subject properties and competing properties, current tax information and a review of tax comparable properties, where appropriate; and

 

·reviewed the acquisition criteria and parameters used by real estate investors for properties similar to the subject Properties, including a search of real estate data sources and publications concerning real estate buyer's criteria, discussions with sources deemed appropriate, and a review of transaction data for properties similar to the Properties.

 

Stanger employed the Income Approach and Sales Comparison Approach, each described below, to estimate the value of the Appraised Properties. The Income Approach is based on the assumption that the value of a property is dependent upon the property’s ability to produce income. In the Income Approach, a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis was used to determine the value of the fee simple or leased fee estate, as applicable, in the Appraised Properties. The indicated value by the Income Approach represents the amount an investor may pay for the expectation of receiving the net cash flow from the property and the proceeds from the ultimate sale of the property.

 

The Sales Comparison Approach utilizes indices of value derived from actual or proposed sales of comparable properties to estimate the value of the subject Property. The appraiser analyzed such comparable sale data as was available to develop a market value conclusion for the subject Property.

 

Stanger prepared the Appraisal Reports, which summarize key inputs and assumptions, providing a value for each of the Appraised Properties using financial information provided by the Company and the Advisor. From such review, Stanger selected the appropriate terminal capitalization rate and discount rate in its DCF analysis and the appropriate price per room in its sales comparison analysis.

 

As of March 31, 2020, the Company owned an interest in four real estate assets. The total aggregate purchase price of these properties was approximately $74.6 million. In addition, through the Valuation Date, the Company had invested $1.2 million in capital improvements on these real estate assets since inception. As of the Valuation Date, the total value of the Appraised Properties at the Company’s respective ownership interest was approximately $68.6 million. This represents an approximately 9.5% decrease in the total value of the real estate assets over the aggregate purchase price and aggregate improvements. The following summarizes the key assumptions that were used in the discounted cash flow and direct capitalization analysis to arrive at the appraised value of the Appraised Properties:

 

   Range   Weighted Average 
Terminal Capitalization Rate   8.25%    9.50%   8.76%
Discount Rate   10.00%    11.00%   10.55%
Income and Expense Growth   3.00%    3.00%

 

While the Company believes that Stanger’s assumptions and inputs are reasonable, a change in these assumptions and inputs would impact the calculation of the appraised value of the Appraised Properties. The table below illustrates the impact on the appraised values, before noncontrolling interest adjustments, if the terminal capitalization rates, discount rates and direct capitalization rates were adjusted by 25 basis points or 5.0%, assuming the value conclusion for each Appraised Property is based on the method being sensitized and all other factors remain unchanged:

 

 

 

 

   Estimated Impact to Appraised Values Due to: 
   Increase   Decrease   Increase   Decrease 
   25 Basis Points   25 Basis Points   5.0%   5.0% 
Terminal Capitalization Rate  $(1,130,000)  $1,190,000   $(1,940,000)  $2,100,000 
Discount Rate  $(1,430,000)  $1,460,000   $(2,680,000)  $3,100,000 

 

Loan Valuation

 

Values for the Company’s consolidated secured notes payable (the “Secured Notes Payable”) were estimated by Stanger using a discounted cash flow analysis, which used inputs based on the remaining loan terms and estimated current market interest rates for notes payable with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratios, debt-service-coverage ratios, prepayment terms, and collateral property attributes. The current market interest rate was generally determined based on market rates for available comparable debt. The estimated current market interest rates ranged from 7.15% to 9.65% for the Secured Notes Payable.

 

As of March 31, 2020, Stanger’s estimated fair value of the Company’s Secured Notes Payable was $49.9 million, before noncontrolling interest adjustments. The weighted-average discount rate applied to the future estimated debt payments of the Secured Notes Payable was approximately 7.97%.

 

While the Company believes that Stanger’s assumptions and inputs are reasonable, a change in these assumptions and inputs would impact the calculation of the estimated value of the Company’s Secured Notes Payable. The table below illustrates the impact on the estimated value of the Secured Notes Payable, before noncontrolling interest adjustments, if the market interest rate of the Secured Notes Payable were adjusted by 25 basis points or 5.0%, and assuming all other factors remain unchanged:

 

Estimated Impact to Fair Market Value of the Company’s Secured Notes due to:
Decrease  Increase  Decrease  Increase
25 Basis Points  25 Basis Points  5.0%  5.0%
($412,700)  $408,400  ($667,900)  $656,500

  

Cash, Other Assets, Other Liabilities and Credit Facility

 

The fair value of the Company’s cash, other assets and other liabilities were estimated by the Advisor to approximate carrying value as of the Valuation Date.

 

The carrying value of a majority of the Company’s other assets and liabilities are considered to equal their fair value due to their short maturities or liquid nature. Certain balances, such as intangible assets and liabilities and deferred financing costs, have been eliminated for the purpose of the valuation due to the fact that the value of those balances were already considered in the valuation of the respective investments.

 

Different parties using different assumptions and estimates could derive different estimated per share NAVs, and these differences could be significant. The value of the Company’s shares will fluctuate over time in response to developments related to individual assets in the Company’s portfolio and the management of those assets and in response to the real estate and finance markets.

 

Common Share Preferred Return

 

The Estimated Per Share NAV was calculated inclusive of the K Share Hurdle to each share class, net of any distributions made, from inception of the Company through the Valuation Date.

 

 

 

 

The Board’s Determination of the Estimated Per Share NAVs

 

Based upon a review of the Reports provided by Stanger, upon the recommendation of the Committee, the Board estimated the per share NAV for (i) the K-I Shares to be $8.55; (ii) the K Shares to be $8.56; (iii) the K-T Shares to be $8.56; (iv) the A Shares to be $0.00; and (v) the B Shares to be $0.00.

 

Limitations of Estimated Per Share NAVs

 

The various factors considered by the Board in determining the Estimated Per Share NAVs were based on a number of assumptions and estimates that may not be accurate or complete. As disclosed above, the Company is providing the Estimated Per Share NAVs to assist broker-dealers that participate, or participated, in the Company’s public offering in meeting their customer account statement reporting obligations. As with any valuation methodology, the methodologies used are based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that may not be accurate or complete. Different parties with different assumptions and estimates could derive different estimated per share NAVs. The Estimated Per Share NAVs are not audited and do not represent the fair value of the Company’s assets or liabilities according to GAAP.

 

Accordingly, with respect to the Estimated Per Share NAVs, the Company can give no assurance that:

   
a stockholder would be able to resell his or her K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares at the K Share Estimated Per Share NAVs;
   
a stockholder would ultimately realize distributions per share equal to the Company’s Estimated Per Share NAV upon liquidation of the Company’s assets and settlement of its liabilities or a sale of the Company;
   
the Company’s K-I Shares, K Shares and K-T Shares would trade at the Estimated Per Share NAVs on a national securities exchange;
   
a different independent third-party appraiser or other third-party valuation firm would agree with the Company’s Estimated Per Share NAVs; or
   
the Estimated Per Share NAVs, or the methodology used to estimate the Company’s Estimated Per Share NAVs, will be found by any regulatory authority to comply with ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or other regulatory requirements.

 

Similarly, the amount a stockholder may receive upon repurchase of his or her shares, if he or she participates in the Company’s share repurchase program, may be greater than or less than the amount a stockholder paid for the shares, regardless of any increase in the underlying value of any assets owned by the Company.

 

The Estimated Per Share NAVs are based on the estimated value of the Company’s assets less the estimated value of the Company’s liabilities divided by the number of shares outstanding on an adjusted fully diluted basis, calculated as of March 31, 2021.

 

Further, the value of the Company’s shares will fluctuate over time as a result of, among other things, developments related to individual assets and responses to the real estate and capital markets. The Estimated Per Share NAVs do not reflect a discount for the fact that the Company is externally managed, nor do they reflect a real estate portfolio premium/discount versus the sum of the individual property values. The Estimated Per Share NAVs also do not take into account estimated disposition costs and fees for real estate properties that are not held for sale. The Company currently expects to utilize an independent valuation firm to update the Estimated Per Share NAVs as of March 31, 2021, in accordance with the IPA Valuation Guidelines, but is not required to update the Estimated Per Share NAVs more frequently than annually.

 

On April 7, 2020, in response to the global pandemic of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the Board approved the temporary suspension of the sale of shares in the Company's public offering, effective April 7, 2020, and of its distribution reinvestment plan, effective April 17, 2020.

 

The Board expects to modify the prices at which K Shares, K-I Shares and K-T Shares are offered pursuant to the public offering to reflect the updated Estimated Per Share NAVs. The decision to recommence selling shares of the Company's common stock in the public offering and new offering prices has been approved by the Board and will commence effective with a future announcement by the Company in a prospectus supplement.

 

Extension of Offering

 

On June 10, 2020, the Board authorized the extension of the term of the Company’s initial public offering until August 14, 2021, unless further extended by the Board as permitted under applicable law or earlier terminated by the Board.

 

Resumption of DRIP Offering

 

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 7, 2020, on April 7, 2020, the Board unanimously approved the temporary suspension the operation of the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”), effective as of April 17, 2020. On June 10, 2020, the Board unanimously approved the resumption of the operation of the DRIP, effective as of June 21, 2020. The DRIP offering price per share of the Class K Shares will be $8.56 per Class K Share, the DRIP offering price per share of the Class K-I Shares will be $8.55 per Class K-I Share and the DRIP offering price per share of the Class K-T Shares will be $8.56 per Class K-T Share, which each reflect the Estimated Per Share NAVs.

 

 

 

 

Share Repurchase Program

 

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 20, 2020, on March 20, 2020, the Board decided to temporarily suspend repurchases under the Company’s share repurchase program effective with repurchase requests that would have been processed in April 2020 due to the negative impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the Company’s portfolio at the time; provided, however, the Company would continue to process repurchases due to death in accordance with the terms of its share repurchase program.

 

On June 10, 2020, the Board determined to fully reopen the share repurchase program to all repurchase requests commencing with the next quarter repurchase date, which will be in July 2020. Any unprocessed requests will automatically roll over to be considered for repurchase unless a stockholder withdraws the request for repurchase five business days prior to the next repurchase date. Shares will be repurchased subject to and upon the terms and conditions of the Company’s share repurchase program, as described in the Company’s most recent prospectus, and repurchase prices will be based upon the Estimated Per Share NAVs in accordance with the terms of the share repurchase program.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, other than historical facts, may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to the Company’s expectations regarding the performance of its business and the Estimated Per Share NAVs of the Company’s common and capital stock. Stanger relied on forward-looking information, some of which was provided by or on behalf of the Company, in preparing its valuation materials. Therefore, neither such statements nor Stanger’s valuation materials are intended to, nor shall they, serve as a guarantee of the Company’s performance in future periods. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “projects,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as updated by the Company’s subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020 filed with the SEC. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this Current Report on Form 8-K and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
