Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure
FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated, a Maryland corporation ("FelCor"),
and FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership ("FelCor
OP"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 9, 2001 (the
"Merger Agreement") with MeriStar Hospitality Corporation, a Maryland
corporation ("MeriStar"), and MeriStar Hospitality Operating Partnership, L.P.,
a Delaware limited partnership ("MeriStar OP"). On August 16, 2001, FelCor,
FelCor OP, MeriStar and MeriStar OP entered into a First Amendment (the "First
Amendment") to the Merger Agreement and added FelCor Mergesub, L.L.C., a
Delaware limited liability company ("FelCor Mergesub"), as a party to the Merger
Agreement. FelCor, FelCor OP, FelCor Mergesub, MeriStar, and MeriStar OP have
agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement and their merger plans in accordance
with the terms of a Termination Agreement dated September 21, 2001 (the
"Termination Agreement"), which is Exhibit 2.1 to this report. FelCor and
MeriStar have issued a press release dated as of September 21, 2001 relating to
the Termination Agreement, which is Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
In accordance with the requirements of the indenture governing FelCor
OP's outstanding $600 million in 8-1/2% Senior Notes Due 2011, FelCor OP plans
to redeem $300 million in principal amount of these Notes. The redemption price
will be at 101% of the principal amount being redeemed plus accrued interest.
This redemption is required as a result of the termination of FelCor's merger
with MeriStar Hospitality Corporation. These notes were issued by FelCor OP on
June 4, 2001 in anticipation of the merger. Since that time, FelCor OP has held
$316 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the notes in a restricted
proceeds account to fund this special redemption.
In its Form 10-K annual report for the year ended December 31, 2000,
FelCor OP published a description of various cautionary factors that may affect
its future results of operations. As a result of developments since the
terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, FelCor OP has determined to supplement
those cautionary factors with the following:
The terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C. on
September 11, 2001 have caused a disruption in travel-related businesses in the
United States. Consistent with the rest of the lodging industry, FelCor OP is
currently experiencing a decline in occupancies due to the decline in travel.
FelCor OP is unable to predict whether this adverse impact is only temporary or
of more lasting duration. Military actions against terrorists, new terrorist
attacks, actual or threatened, and other political events may cause a lengthy
period of uncertainty that could continue to adversely affect the lodging
industry, including FelCor OP, as a result of customer reluctance to travel.
Even absent new events that create uncertainty, it may take some period of time
for travel to return to a more normal level.
