Apple Ten Recommends Rejection of Unsolicited, Opportunistic Tender Offer

by MacKenzie Capital Management, LP

Richmond – April 9, 2013 – Apple REIT Ten, Inc. (“Apple Ten”) has been notified of an unsolicited tender offer by a group of entities affiliated with MacKenzie Capital Management, LP (collectively “MCM”) to purchase up to 3,500,000 shares of common stock and the associated shares of Series A preferred stock (together, the “Units”) of Apple Ten at a price of $5.25 per Unit. The tender offer is limited to 3.5 million Units or approximately 5% of Apple Ten’s outstanding Units. Apple Ten is not affiliated with MCM, and believes this offer is not in the best interests of its stockholders. The Board of Directors of Apple Ten has carefully evaluated the terms of MCM’s offer and unanimously recommends that stockholders reject MCM’s offer and not tender their Units.

Apple Ten has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Schedule 14D-9 providing a detailed response to the MCM’s offer. Apple Ten encourages stockholders to read the Schedule 14D-9 before making a decision regarding the offer. Stockholders may review and obtain copies of the Schedule 14D-9 and all amendments thereto free of charge at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and at Apple Ten’s website at www.applereitten.com.

Please review the Schedule 14D-9 for a complete discussion of the reasons why the Board of Directors Apple Ten believes the offer is not in the best interests of its stockholders. Some of those reasons are as follows:

· The Board of Directors believes that the $5.25 per Unit offer price represents an opportunistic attempt by MCM to purchase Units at an unreasonably low price and make a profit and, as a result, deprive the stockholders who tender Units of the potential opportunity to realize the long-term value of their investment in Apple Ten. However, the Board of Directors notes that, because Apple Ten is a non-exchange traded REIT, there is a limited market for the Units and there can be no certainty regarding the long-term value of the Units, because the value is dependent on a number of factors including general economic conditions and the other factors referenced in Item 8 — “Additional Information” of the Schedule 14D-9 filed with the SEC.

· The per Unit book value of the Units as of December 31, 2012 is $8.92 per Unit, or $3.67 per Unit above the offer price. The Board of Directors notes that book value may not necessarily be representative of the liquidation value of Apple Ten. The per Unit book value per share is the total of Apple Ten’s assets (reduced by depreciation) less liabilities as reflected in its financial statements divided by the total outstanding shares. Assets and liabilities are recorded in the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and do not necessarily reflect fair value.

· The offer price is approximately 20% below MCM’s own estimate of the liquidation value of Apple Ten per Unit. MCM acknowledges it has not made an independent appraisal of the Units or Apple Ten’s properties.

· Apple Ten continues its ongoing best-efforts offering, which raised gross proceeds of $252.6 million during 2012 at a price of $11.00 per Unit and $35.7 million during the first quarter of 2013 at a price of $11.00 per Unit.

· Apple Ten has paid distributions totaling $1.79 per Unit or approximately $82.3 million to stockholders since its inception and intends to continue to pay distributions on a monthly basis. Although the timing and amount of distributions are within the discretion of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors cannot provide any guarantee that Apple Ten will maintain this rate of distributions in the future, stockholders that choose to participate in the tender offer by selling their Units to MCM will lose the right to receive all future distributions, including any distributions made or declared after the expiration date of the tender offer.

· Apple Ten has paid a total of approximately $16.3 million in redemption payments to stockholders since the inception of its redemption program, including approximately $1.2 million in redemption payments in January 2013. Apple Ten reserves the right to change the purchase price of redemptions, reject any request for redemption, or otherwise amend the terms of, suspend, or terminate the Unit redemption program.

· There is no guarantee that the tender offer will be completed in the time frame that the tender offer implies. The tender offer does not expire until May 17, 2013, and it may be extended by MCM in its sole discretion.

Stockholders with questions about this tender offer or other matters should consult his or her financial advisor or Apple Ten’s Investor Relations Department at 804.727.6321.
