Executive Summary SITUATION OVERVIEW 4 Project Roosevelt From Mid-2014 through 2015, Monroe’s Board of Directors explored strategic alternatives, including an active solicitation for proposals on a sale of the entire business or parts thereof from approximately 180 parties (see next page for more details) Discussions reached a point of active negotiation of a merger agreement in late 2015 with “Trousdale”, a private hotel/restaurant/nightlife branded operator founded, owned and headed by Sam Nazarian Ultimately, negotiations with Trousdale ended and Monroe suspended the active solicitation; an asset marketing process was announced on December 7, 2015 In March 2016, discussions with Trousdale re-commenced around an all-cash bid for purchase of Monroe’s outstanding common shares at an initial proposed value of $2.25 per share Additional outreach was conducted by Monroe and its financial advisors with eleven parties judged to have sufficient potential interest in, and familiarity with, Monroe to respond quickly and credibly if they so desired The Trousdale discussions resulted in a negotiated proposal for $2.40 per share and the decision by Monroe’s board to enter into a 4-week exclusivity period with Trousdale beginning on March 29, 2016 Financial, legal, and tax diligence continued, including in-person meetings and asset tours Parties agreed to extend exclusivity through May 3 (and again through May 6), 2016, primarily to allow Trousdale and its financing partners to complete the financing commitment process On May 6, after completion of due diligence, Trousdale lowered their offer price to $2.10, citing deteriorating performance at the Hudson and the Delano and other factors as the rationale for such reduction Negotiations continued through the weekend of May 7 – 8 (and included an increase in the offer price from $2.10 to $2.25 made late eastern time on May 8, which was characterized as the final offer) A summary of the transaction structure is provided in the following pages, as well as an analysis of Monroe as a stand-alone going concern

The initial process launch included global outreach to approximately 180 parties 65 parties signed NDAs and 12 parties ultimately submitted transaction proposals Based on discussions with potential investors and the judgment of the STC and its advisors, it was concluded that the disposition of The Light Group would potentially broaden the Company’s appeal to prospective counterparties The Company announced the sale of The Light Group on December 16, 2014 Interested parties that executed an NDA were provided with evaluation materials Following the receipt of first round indications, parties approved by the STC were invited to participate in a subsequent round These interested parties were given access to an electronic data room and permission to speak with financing sources Based on a recommendation of the Special Transaction Committee, the Board dissolved the Special Transaction Committee in June 2015 and the process continued under the direction of the full board Potential transaction partners were eventually narrowed to Trousdale, a private hotel/restaurant/nightlife branded operator founded and owned by Sam Nazarian Over the course of a few months, terms were negotiated and agreed upon; however, no deal was consummated and the process was suspended in late 2015 The Company announced its intention to market the owned hotel properties for sale through the real estate brokerage, Hodges Ward Elliott As financial advisor to Monroe, Morgan Stanley has assisted the Company with extensive diligence related to the proposed transaction and assisted the Board of Directors in negotiating specific terms and reviewing alternatives

Monroe – Issues and Considerations MONROE SELECTED INFORMATION Scale Liquidity / Cash Availability Undersized relative to peers, with adverse implications for marketing breadth and expense margins, among other factors High G&A load as compared to asset base Not enough liquidity for large investors to buy / sell without materially impacting share price Project Roosevelt Monroe has $11.9MM of cash as of 3/31/2016 and is projected to have $7.7MM of cash as of 6/30/2016 (1), down from $46MM at year-end Cash generation projected to be negative in 2016 / 2017, leaving limited dry powder to build pipeline and operate the business Poor performance in the New York and Miami markets drives projected debt yield at the two owned assets below the required 7.75% debt yield, requiring a sizeable pay-down (currently estimated to be $53.9MM) of principal in early 2017 Current projections indicate any excess cash flow from owned assets will be trapped by the lenders (2) Owned assets are fully levered Yucaipa preferred securities’ coupon rate rising from 10% to 20% on October 15, 2016 ($140.1MM estimated balance as of September 30, 2016, including accrued, unpaid dividends of $65.1MM) Lack of capital to de-lever from sector high leverage Leverage High leverage relative to peers Current debt / LTM EBITDA in excess of 16x versus sector average of 4.1x Debt / total market capitalization of approximately 74% versus Tier 1 comp average of ~25% Management Team / Board Instability of management team (PEO / CFO and CRO / Interim COO) Several other key positions remain vacant with no near-term intention to be filled 13 Negative Sentiment / Confusion Uncertainty surrounding short-term and long-term strategy Negative press around Monroe Burkle consent rights Difficulty attracting new contracts in the US Narrow research analyst coverage limits investor access to independent perspectives Notes Per management standalone projection model; includes termination fees received from Mondrian SB ($1.0MM) A cash trap on the two assets would reduce cash generation by approximately $3MM through year-end Monroe has a number of key structural factors to consider when assessing valuation and a range of actionable alternatives Management has indicated that the risks and challenges facing Monroe are unlikely to improve in the near-term and/or are likely to worsen Source Management Projections
