Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed by Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc. on February 12, 2015. The filing addresses corporate governance actions regarding capital structure and shareholder redemption rights in preparation for a potential listing on a national securities exchange.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide comprehensive financial statements, revenue, profit, cash flow, or debt metrics. The only specific financial figure disclosed is the share redemption price, which remains set at $9.20 per common share.
Material Changes and Corporate Actions
- Reverse Share Split: The Company filed articles of amendment with the Commonwealth of Virginia to effect a 50% reverse share split. This action is scheduled to occur immediately prior to, and is contingent upon, the initial listing of the Company's common shares on a national securities exchange. Under this amendment, each existing common share will be reclassified into one-half (1/2) of a share.
- Share Redemption Program Modification: The Board of Directors approved limiting the existing share redemption program (reinstated in October 2014) to cases involving the death of a shareholder only. The redemption price was maintained at $9.20 per share.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management indicated that the Board will continue to review the redemption program and reserves the right to change terms, including the redemption price, or to suspend or terminate the program as deemed prudent. The reverse split is a procedural step tied to the effectiveness of the Company's listing on a national exchange.
