PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS DATED JANUARY 12, 2015  SUBJECT TO COMPLETION

 

MOODY NATIONAL REIT II, INC.

 

$1,100,000,000 Maximum Offering
$2,000,000 Minimum Offering

 

Moody National REIT II, Inc. (referred to herein as “we,” “us,” “our” or the “company”) is a Maryland corporation formed in July 2014 to acquire a portfolio of hospitality properties focusing primarily on the select-service segment of the hospitality sector with premier brands including, but not limited to, Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt. We intend to acquire hotel properties in major metropolitan markets in the East Coast, West Coast and Sunbelt regions of the United States. We may also invest in real estate securities and debt-related investments related to the hospitality sector. We are externally managed by Moody National Advisor II, LLC, which we refer to as our “advisor.” Our advisor is a subsidiary of our sponsor, Moody National REIT Sponsor, LLC, which is a part of Moody National Companies, a group of integrated real estate investment, management and development companies. We intend to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ending December 31 in which we satisfy the minimum offering requirements described below.

 

We are offering up to $1,100,000,000 in shares of our common stock in this offering. We are offering $1,000,000,000 in shares of our common stock to the public at a price of $25.00 per share, which we refer to as the “primary offering.” We are also offering $100,000,000 in shares of our common stock to our stockholders pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at a price of $23.75 per share. We reserve the right to reallocate the shares of common stock we are offering between the primary offering and our distribution reinvestment plan.

 

Our board of directors may, from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion, change the price at which we offer shares to the public in the primary offering or pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan to reflect changes in our estimated value per share, changes in applicable law and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. If we determine to change the price at which we offer shares, we do not anticipate that we will do so more frequently than quarterly.

 

This investment involves a high degree of risk. You should purchase shares of our common stock only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 17. These risks include, among others:

 

This is an initial public offering. We have no prior operating history and there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully achieve our investment objectives.

 

No public trading market exists for shares of our common stock and we are not required to effectuate a liquidity event by a certain date. As a result, it will be difficult for you to sell your shares of our common stock. If you are able to sell your shares, you will likely have to sell them at a substantial discount.

 

We plan to invest primarily in premier-brand, select-service hotel properties that are located in major metropolitan markets in select U.S. geographic regions. A more focused investment portfolio is inherently more risky than a more diversified portfolio. As a result, our results of operations may be adversely affected by a downturn in the hospitality sector or adverse economic developments in the geographic regions in which we invest.

 

There are restrictions and limitations on your ability to have all or a portion of your shares of our common stock repurchased under our share repurchase program, and if you are able to have your shares repurchased pursuant to our share repurchase program, it may be for a price less than the price you paid for the shares and the then current value of the shares.

 

The offering price of our shares of common stock for this offering was not determined on an independent basis and bears no relationship to the book or net value of assets we own or may own or to our expected operating income; therefore, the offering price may not accurately reflect the value of our assets when you invest.

 

The price of our shares may be adjusted periodically to reflect changes in the estimated value of our assets and therefore future adjustments may result in an offering price lower than the price you paid for your shares.

 

The amount of distributions we may make is uncertain. Our distributions may exceed our earnings, particularly during the period before we have acquired a substantial portfolio of real estate assets. Our distributions may be paid from other sources such as borrowings, offering proceeds or deferral of fees and expense reimbursements by our advisor, in its sole discretion. Payment of distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations would reduce the funds available to us for investments in properties, which could reduce your overall return. Because this is a blind pool offering, it is likely that distributions paid during the early stages of our offering and before we have acquired a substantial portfolio of real estate assets will be funded primarily from offering proceeds. We have not established a limit on the amount of proceeds from this offering that we may use to fund distributions. Therefore, portions of the distributions that we make may represent a return of capital to you, which will lower your tax basis in our shares.

 

This is considered to be a “blind pool” offering because you will not have the opportunity to evaluate our future investments prior to purchasing shares of our common stock.

 

This is a “best efforts” offering and our ability to raise money and achieve our investment objectives depends on the ability of the dealer manager to successfully market our offering.

 

We rely on our advisor, property manager and sub-property managers and their affiliates for our day-to-day operations and the selection of our investments. Adverse changes in the financial health of our advisor, property manager and sub-property managers could cause our operations to suffer.

 

We pay substantial fees and expenses to our advisor and its affiliates, including the dealer manager for this offering. These fees were not negotiated at arm’s length and therefore may be higher than fees payable to unaffiliated parties. Upon termination of our advisory agreement for any reason, including for cause, our advisor will be paid all accrued and unpaid fees and expense reimbursements earned prior to the date of termination and we may be required to pay significant fees regardless of our advisor's performance, which will reduce cash available for distribution to you.

 

Our advisor and other affiliates face conflicts of interest as a result of compensation arrangements, time constraints and competition for investments, including (1) conflicts related to compensation payable by us to our advisor and other affiliates that may not be on terms that would result from arm’s-length negotiations between unaffiliated parties, (2) the allocation of time between advising us and other real estate investment programs and (3) the recommendation of investments on our behalf when other affiliated programs are seeking similar investments.

 

If we fail to qualify as a REIT, it would adversely affect our operations and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders, because we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates with no ability to deduct distributions made to our stockholders.

 

 
 

  

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. The Attorney General of the State of New York has not passed on or endorsed the merits of this offering. Any representation to the contrary is unlawful. Projections or forecasts cannot be used in this offering. Any representation to the contrary and no prediction, written or oral, as to the amount or certainty of any present or future cash benefit or tax consequence which may flow from an investment in our common stock is permitted. The shares of common stock offered hereby are subject to certain restrictions on transfer and ownership. See “Description of Capital Stock.”

Moody Securities, LLC, an affiliate of our advisor and the dealer manager for this offering, is not required to sell any specific number of shares or dollar amount of our common stock but will use its best efforts to sell the shares offered hereby. The minimum initial investment for investors is $2,500. After you have satisfied the applicable minimum purchase requirement, additional purchases must be in increments of $500. We expect to sell the shares of our common stock offered in the primary offering through     , 2017 (two years from the commencement of this offering) unless extended. We will not sell any shares of our common stock unless we raise a minimum of $2,000,000 of subscription proceeds (including shares purchased by our sponsor, its affiliates and our directors and officers) by     , 2016. Pending satisfaction of the minimum offering amount, all subscription payments will be placed in an escrow account held by the escrow agent, UMB Bank, N.A., in trust for the subscribers’ benefit, pending release to us. If we do not raise at least $2,000,000 by ,           2016, we will return all funds in the escrow account (including interest), and we will stop selling shares of our common stock. We may terminate this offering at any time.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under federal securities laws.

 

This prospectus is dated            , 2015

 

 
 

 

SUITABILITY STANDARDS

 

The shares of common stock we are offering are suitable only as a long-term investment for persons of adequate financial means. We do not expect to have a public market for shares of our common stock which means that it may be difficult for you to sell your shares. On a limited basis, you may be able to have shares repurchased through our share repurchase program, and in the future we may also consider various forms of additional liquidity. You should not buy shares of our common stock if you need to sell them immediately or if you will need to sell them quickly in the future.

 

In consideration of these factors, we have established suitability standards for initial stockholders and subsequent transferees. These suitability standards require that a purchaser of shares of our common stock have either:

 

a net worth (excluding the value of an investor’s home, furnishings and automobiles) of at least $250,000; or

 

a gross annual income of at least $70,000 and a net worth (excluding the value of an investor’s home, furnishings and automobiles) of at least $70,000.

 

The following states have established additional suitability standards:

 

Alabama—In addition to the suitability standards above, this offering will only be sold to Alabama residents that have a liquid net worth of at least 10 times the amount invested in us and our affiliates.

 

Iowa—In addition to the suitability standards above, an Iowa investor’s maximum investment in us and affiliated programs cannot exceed 10% of his or her liquid net worth. “Liquid net worth” is defined as that portion of net worth (total assets, exclusive of home, auto and home furnishings minus total liabilities) that is comprised of cash, cash equivalents, and readily marketable securities.

  

Kansas—In addition to the suitability standards above, the Kansas Securities Commissioner recommends that each purchaser limit the purchaser’s aggregate investment in this offering and other similar investments to not more than 10% of the purchaser’s liquid net worth. “Liquid net worth” shall be defined as that portion of the purchaser’s total net worth that is comprised of cash, cash equivalents, and readily marketable securities, as determined in conformity with GAAP.

 

Kentucky —In addition to the suitability standards above, a Kentucky investor’s aggregate investment in this offering may not exceed 10% of the investor’s liquid net worth. 

Maine—The Maine Office of Securities recommends that an investor's aggregate investment in this offering and similar direct participation investments not exceed 10% of the investor's liquid net worth. For this purpose, “liquid net worth” is defined as that portion of net worth that consists of cash, cash equivalents and readily marketable securities.

 

Nebraska—In addition to the suitability standards above, Nebraska investors must limit their investment in this offering and in the securities of other direct participation programs (including REITs, oil and gas programs, equipment leasing programs, business development companies and commodity pools) to 10% of such investor’s net worth (excluding the value of an investor’s home, home furnishings, and automobiles).

 

New Jersey —In addition to the suitability standards above, New Jersey investors must have either (a) a minimum liquid net worth of at least $100,000 and a minimum annual gross income of not less than $85,000, or (b) a minimum liquid net worth of $350,000. For these purposes, “liquid net worth” is defined as that portion of net worth (total assets exclusive of home, home furnishings, and automobiles, minus total liabilities) that consists of cash, cash equivalents and readily marketable securities. In addition, a New Jersey investor’s investment in us, our affiliates, and other non-publicly traded direct investment programs (including real estate investment trusts, business development companies, oil and gas programs, equipment leasing programs and commodity pools, but excluding unregistered, federally and state exempt private offerings) may not exceed ten percent (10%) of his or her liquid net worth.

 

New Mexico—In addition to the suitability standards above, a New Mexico investor’s investment in us, shares of our affiliates and in other real estate investment trusts may not exceed 10% of his or her liquid net worth. “Liquid net worth” is defined as that portion of net worth (total assets, exclusive of primary residence, home furnishings and automobiles minus total liabilities) that is comprised of cash, cash equivalents, and readily marketable securities.

 

North Dakota—In addition to the suitability standards above, North Dakota investors must have a net worth of at least ten times their investment in us.

 

Ohio—In addition to the suitability standards above, it shall be unsuitable for an Ohio investor’s aggregate investment in us, shares of our affiliates and other non-traded real estate investment programs to exceed 10% of his, her, or its liquid net worth. “Liquid net worth” shall be defined as that portion of net worth (total assets exclusive of home, home furnishings, and automobiles minus total liabilities) that is comprised of cash, cash equivalents, and readily marketable securities. 

 

Oregon—In addition to the suitability standards above, an Oregon investor’s maximum investment in us cannot exceed 10% of the investor’s liquid net worth.

 

Tennessee—In addition to the suitability standards above, a Tennessee resident’s investment in us must not exceed 10% of his or her liquid net worth (exclusive of home, home furnishings and automobile). 

 

Vermont—Accredited investors in Vermont, as defined in 17 C.F.R. 230.51, may invest freely in this offering. In addition to the suitability standards above, non-accredited Vermont investors may not purchase an amount in this offering that exceeds 10% of the investor’s liquid net worth. For these purposes, “liquid net worth” is defined as an investor's total assets (not including home, home furnishings, or automobiles) minus total liabilities.

 

In the case of sales to fiduciary accounts (such as an individual retirement account, or IRA, Keogh plan or pension or profit sharing plan), these suitability standards must be met by the fiduciary account, by the person who directly or indirectly supplied the funds for the purchase of the shares of our common stock or by the beneficiary of the account.

 

These suitability standards are intended to help ensure that, given the long-term nature of an investment in shares of our common stock, our investment objectives and the relative illiquidity of shares of our common stock, shares of our common stock are an appropriate investment for persons who become stockholders. Notwithstanding these investor suitability standards, potential investors should note that investing in shares of our common stock involves a high degree of risk and should consider all the information contained in this prospectus, including the “Risk Factors” section contained herein, in determining whether an investment in our common stock is appropriate.

 

Our sponsor and each participating broker-dealer must make every reasonable effort to determine that the purchase of shares of our common stock is a suitable and appropriate investment for each stockholder based on information provided by the stockholder in the subscription agreement. In making this determination, the sponsor and each person selling shares on our behalf shall ascertain that the prospective stockholder meets the minimum income and net worth standards, can reasonably benefit from an investment in us based on the prospective stockholder’s overall investment objectives and portfolio structure, is able to bear the economic risk of the investment based on the prospective stockholder’s overall financial situation, and has apparent understanding of the fundamental risks of the investment, the risk that the stockholder may lose the entire investment, the relative illiquidity of our shares of common stock, the restrictions on transfer and ownership of our shares of common stock and the tax consequences of an investment in us. The sponsor and each person selling shares on our behalf will make this determination in reliance and on the basis of information it has obtained from a prospective stockholder regarding the prospective stockholder’s financial situation and investment objectives. Relevant information for this purpose includes age, investment objectives, investment experience, income, net worth, financial situation, and other investments of prospective stockholders, as well as any other pertinent factors. Each person selling shares on our behalf shall maintain records of the information used to determine that an investment in shares of our common stock is suitable and appropriate for a stockholder for at least six years.

 

The minimum purchase amount is $2,500. After you have satisfied the applicable minimum purchase requirement, additional purchases must be in increments of $500. To satisfy the minimum purchase requirements for retirement plans, unless otherwise prohibited by state law, a husband and wife may jointly contribute funds from their separate IRAs, provided that each such contribution is made in increments of $500. You should note that an investment in shares of our common stock will not, in itself, create a retirement plan and that to create a retirement plan you must comply with all applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code.

 

Purchases of shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan may be in amounts less than set forth above and are not required to be made in increments of $500.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS OFFERING

 

Set forth below are some of the more frequently asked questions and answers relating to our structure, our management and an offering of this type.

 

Q:What is a “REIT”?

 

A:In general, a REIT is a company that:

 

offers the benefits of a diversified real estate portfolio under professional management;

 

is required to distribute dividends to shareholders of at least 90% of its taxable income for each year;

 

avoids the federal “double taxation” treatment of income that generally results from investments in a corporation because a REIT is not generally subject to federal corporate income taxes on the portion of its net income that is distributed to the REIT’s stockholders; and

 

combines the capital of many investors to acquire or provide financing for real estate assets.

 

Q:How will you structure the ownership and operation of your assets?

 

A: We own substantially all of our assets and conduct our operations through Moody National Operating Partnership II, LP, a Delaware limited partnership organized in July 2014, which we refer to as our “operating partnership.” We are the sole general partner of our operating partnership and our subsidiary, Moody OP Holdings II, LLC, which we refer to as our “limited partner,” and Moody National LPOP II, LLC, which we refer to as the “special limited partnership interest holder,” are the initial limited partners of our operating partnership. We refer to partnership interests and special partnership interests in our operating partnership, respectively, as “limited partnership interests” and “special limited partnership interests.” Because we conduct substantially all of our operations through an operating partnership, we are organized in what is referred to as an UPREIT structure.

 

Q:What is an “UPREIT”?

 

A:UPREIT stands for Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust. We use the UPREIT structure because a contribution of property directly to us is generally a taxable transaction to the contributing property owner. In this structure, a contributor of a property who desires to defer taxable gain on the transfer of his or her property may transfer the property to our operating partnership in exchange for limited partnership interests and defer taxation of gain until the contributor later sells his or her limited partnership interests or exchanges his or her limited partnership interests for shares of the common stock of the REIT. We believe that using an UPREIT structure gives us an advantage in acquiring desired properties from persons who may not otherwise sell their properties because of unfavorable tax results.

 

Q:Why should I consider an investment in real estate investments?

 

A.If you meet the minimum suitability standards described in this prospectus, allocating some portion of an investment portfolio concentrated in traditional asset classes (stocks and bonds) to real estate investments may provide you with (1) portfolio diversification, (2) a reduction of overall portfolio risk, (3) a hedge against inflation, (4) a stable level of income relative to more traditional asset classes like stocks and bonds and (5) attractive risk-adjusted returns. Persons who require immediate liquidity or guaranteed income, or who seek a short-term investment, are not appropriate investors for us, as our shares will not meet those needs.

 

Q:Do you currently own any assets?

 

A:No. This offering is a “blind pool” offering in that we have not yet identified any specific real estate assets to acquire using the proceeds of this offering. As a result, you will not have the opportunity to evaluate our investments before we acquire them. If we are delayed or unable to find suitable investments, we may not be able to achieve our investment objectives. We discuss the risks related to the fact that this is a blind pool offering under “Risk Factors—General Investment Risks.”

 

Q:Will you provide stockholders with information concerning the estimated value of their shares of common stock?

 

A:

Unless the rules and regulations governing valuations change, from and after 150 days following the second anniversary of breaking escrow in this offering, our advisor or another firm we choose for that purpose will establish an estimated value per share of our common stock that we will disclose in a report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and in each annual report thereafter.

Q:What are the risks associated with this offering?

 

A: An investment in our shares involves a high degree of risk. These risks include, among others: (1) we have no prior operating history; (2) the lack of a public trading market for shares of our common stock, which will make it difficult for you to sell your shares of our common stock; (3) the significant restrictions and limitations on your ability to have all or any portion of your shares of our common stock repurchased under our share repurchase program; (4) the amount of our distributions is uncertain, we may pay distributions from sources such as borrowings, offering proceeds or advances and the deferral of fees and expense reimbursements by our advisor and because this is a blind pool offering, it is likely that distributions paid during the early stages of our offering and before we have acquired a substantial portfolio of real estate assets will be funded primarily from offering proceeds; (5) other than any investments identified in this prospectus, you will not have the opportunity to evaluate our investments prior to purchasing shares of our common stock; (6) our advisor and other affiliates face conflicts of interest as a result of compensation arrangements, time constraints and competition for investments; and (7) we pay substantial fees and expenses to our advisor and its affiliates, including the dealer manager for this offering, which were not negotiated at arm’s length and therefore may be higher than fees payable to unaffiliated parties. For a detailed discussion of the risks associated with this offering, see “Risk Factors.”

 

Q:Who will choose which investments to make?

 

A:Our advisor, Moody National Advisor II, LLC, selects investments for us based on specific investment objectives and criteria and subject to the direction, oversight and approval of our board of directors.

 

Q:Who will operate and manage the properties acquired?

 

A: Moody National Hospitality Management, LLC, a Texas limited partnership that is an affiliate of our sponsor, serves as our property manager. We lease each hotel property to a subsidiary of our operating partnership, which we intend to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary, or TRS. We, indirectly through our TRS lessee, pay our property manager a monthly hotel management fee equal to 4.0% of the monthly gross receipts from the properties managed by our property manager. Our property manager may pay some or all of the compensation it receives from our TRS lessee to a third-party property manager for management or leasing services. In the event that our TRS lessee contracts directly with a third-party property manager, it will pay our property manager a market-based oversight fee. In addition, we, indirectly through our TRS lessee, will also pay an annual incentive fee to our property manager. Such annual incentive fee is equal to 15% of the amount by which the operating profit from the properties managed by the property manager for such fiscal year (or partial fiscal year) exceeds 8.5% of the total investment of such properties.

 

Q:What kind of offering is this?

 

A:Through our dealer manager, we are offering a minimum of $2,000,000 in shares of our common stock and a maximum of $1,000,000,000 in shares of our common stock in our primary offering on a “best efforts” basis at $25.00 per share. We are also offering $100,000,000 in shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at $23.75 per share to those stockholders who elect to participate in such plan as described in this prospectus. We reserve the right to reallocate the shares of common stock we are offering between the primary offering and the distribution reinvestment plan.

 

Q:How does a “best efforts” offering work?

 

A:When shares of common stock are offered to the public on a “best efforts” basis, the broker-dealers participating in the offering are only required to use their best efforts to sell the shares of our common stock and therefore do not have a firm commitment or obligation to purchase any of the shares of our common stock. As a result, no specified dollar amount is guaranteed to be raised.

 

Q:What happens if you do not raise a minimum of $2,000,000 in this offering?

 

A: We will not sell any shares of our common stock unless we sell a minimum of $2,000,000 in shares by         , 2016. Purchases of shares by our sponsor and its affiliates and our directors and officers will count toward meeting this minimum offering requirement. Pending satisfaction of this minimum offering requirement, all subscription funds will be placed in an escrow account held by UMB Bank, N.A., our escrow agent, and held in trust for the subscribers’ benefit pending release to us. If we do not sell $2,000,000 in shares to the public by        , 2016, we will terminate this offering and promptly return all subscribers’ funds held in escrow, plus any interest accrued on the escrowed funds. If we raise the minimum offering amount by         , 2016, all subscription funds held in escrow, plus any interest earned on the funds, will be released to us.

 

Q:How long will this offering last?

 

A: We expect to sell the shares of our common stock offered in the primary offering over a two year period. If we have not sold all of the shares to be offered in the primary offering within two years from the date of this prospectus, we may continue the primary offering until      , 2018 (three years from the date of the commencement of this offering). Under rules promulgated by the SEC, in some circumstances in which we are pursuing the registration of shares of our common stock in a follow-on public offering, we could continue the primary offering until as late as      , 2018. If we decide to continue the primary offering beyond two years from the date of this prospectus, we will provide that information in a prospectus supplement. In many states, we will need to renew the registration statement or file a new registration statement to continue this offering beyond one year from the date of this prospectus. We may terminate this offering at any time.

 

Q:Will I receive a stock certificate?

 

A:No. You will not receive a stock certificate unless expressly authorized by our board of directors. We anticipate that all shares of our common stock will be issued in book-entry form only. The use of book-entry registration protects against loss, theft or destruction of stock certificates and reduces offering costs.

Q:Will you compete with other vehicles sponsored by your sponsor due to similar investment objectives?

 

AOur investment strategy and our target investments will likely overlap with those of Moody National REIT I, Inc., or Moody National REIT I, a public, non-listed REIT, which despite employing a broader investment strategy has generally invested in hospitality assets and which has more resources than we do. In addition, our sponsor is a part of Moody National Companies, a group of integrated real estate investment, management and development companies that have sponsored 46 privately offered real estate programs, all of which have investment objectives generally similar to this offering and may conduct offerings concurrently with this offering. In addition, certain affiliates of our sponsor own or manage hospitality properties in geographical areas in which we expect to own hospitality properties. Therefore, we will most likely compete with other investment vehicles sponsored by our sponsor and its affiliates for opportunities to acquire or sell hospitality properties, since many investment opportunities that will be suitable for us may also be suitable for these other vehicles. As a result of this competition, we have adopted conflict resolution procedures that cover, amongst other things, the allocation of investment opportunities among our sponsor and its affiliates. See “Conflicts of Interest — Conflict Resolution Procedures — Allocation of Investment Opportunities.”

 

Q:Who can buy shares of common stock in this offering?

 

A:In general, you may buy shares of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus provided that you have either (1) a net worth of at least $70,000 and an annual gross income of at least $70,000 or (2) a net worth of at least $250,000. For this purpose, net worth does not include your home, home furnishings and personal automobiles. Generally, you must initially invest at least $2,500. After you have satisfied the applicable minimum purchase requirement, additional purchases must be in increments of $500, except for purchases made pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, which are not subject to any minimum purchase requirement. These minimum net worth and investment levels may be higher in certain states, so you should carefully read the more detailed description under “Suitability Standards.”

 

Our affiliates may also purchase shares of our common stock. The sales commissions and dealer manager fees that are payable by other investors in this offering may be reduced or waived for our affiliates.

 

Q:Are there any special restrictions on the ownership of shares?

 

A:Yes. Our Articles of Incorporation, as may be amended and restated, from time to time, which we refer to as our “charter,” prohibits the ownership of more than 9.8% in value of the aggregate of our outstanding shares of capital stock (which includes common stock, preferred stock and convertible stock we may issue) and more than 9.8% in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the aggregate of our then outstanding common stock, unless exempted (prospectively or retroactively) by our board of directors. This prohibition may discourage large investors from purchasing our shares and may limit your ability to transfer your shares. To comply with tax rules applicable to REITs, we will require our record holders to provide us with detailed information regarding the beneficial ownership of our shares on an annual basis. These restrictions are designed to, among other purposes, enable us to comply with the ownership restrictions imposed on REITs by the Internal Revenue Code. See “Description of Capital Stock—Restriction on Ownership of Shares of Capital Stock.”

 

Q:How do I subscribe for shares of common stock?

 

A:Investors who meet the suitability standards described in this prospectus may purchase shares of our common stock. Investors seeking to purchase shares of our common stock should proceed as follows:

 

read this entire prospectus and any appendices and supplements accompanying this prospectus;

 

complete the execution copy of the subscription agreement. A specimen copy of the subscription agreement, including instructions for completing it, is included in this prospectus as Appendix B; and

 

deliver a check for the full purchase price of the shares of our common stock being subscribed for along with the completed subscription agreement to the soliciting broker-dealer. Initially, prior to meeting the minimum offering requirements, your check should be made payable to “UMB Bank, N.A., as escrow agent for Moody National REIT II, Inc.” After satisfaction of the minimum offering requirements, your check should be made payable to “Moody National REIT II, Inc.”

 

By executing the subscription agreement and paying the total purchase price for the shares of our common stock subscribed for, each investor represents that the investor meets the minimum income and net worth standards as stated in the subscription agreement. In addition, each investor agrees to promptly notify us if there are any material changes to such investor’s financial condition.

 

Subscriptions will be effective only upon our acceptance and we reserve the right to reject any subscription in whole or part. Subscriptions will be accepted or rejected within 30 days of receipt by us and, if rejected, all funds shall be returned to subscribers without deduction for any expenses within 10 business days from the date the subscription is rejected. We are not permitted to accept a subscription for shares of our common stock until at least five business days after the date you receive the final prospectus.

 

An approved trustee must process and forward to us subscriptions made through individual IRAs, Keough plans and 401(k) plans. In the case of investments through IRAs, Keough plans and 401(k) plans, we will send the confirmation and notice of our acceptance to the trustee.

 

Q:How does the payment of fees and expenses affect my invested capital?

 

A:We will pay sales commissions and dealer manager fees in connection with this offering. In addition, we will reimburse our advisor for organizational and offering expenses and we will pay our advisor acquisition fees for substantial services provided in the acquisition of investments. In addition, we will pay our property manager a monthly hotel management fee. Further, to the extent certain performance thresholds are exceeded, we will also pay an annual incentive fee to our property manager. The payment of fees and expenses will reduce the funds available to us for investment in real estate assets. The payment of fees and expenses will also reduce the book value of your shares of common stock. However, you will not be required to pay any additional amounts in connection with the fees and expenses described in this prospectus.

Q:May I reinvest my distributions?

 

A:Yes. You may participate in our distribution reinvestment plan and elect to have the cash distributions you receive reinvested in shares of our common stock at an initial price of $23.75 per share. Our board of directors may, from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion, change the price at which we offer shares to the public pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan to reflect changes in our estimated value per share, changes in applicable law and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. Our distribution reinvestment plan may also be amended, suspended or terminated by our board of directors in its discretion upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice. Please see “Description of Capital Stock—Distribution Reinvestment Plan” for more information regarding our distribution reinvestment plan.

 

Q:If I buy shares of common stock in this offering, how may I later sell them?

 

A:At the time you purchase the shares of our common stock, the shares will not be listed for trading on any national securities exchange. As a result, if you wish to sell your shares, you may not be able to do so promptly, or at all, or you may only be able to sell them at a substantial discount from the price you paid. In general, however, you may sell your shares to any buyer that meets the applicable suitability standards unless such sale would cause the buyer to own more than 9.8% of the aggregate of the value of our then outstanding shares of capital stock (which includes common stock, any preferred stock and convertible stock we may issue) or more than 9.8% of the value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the aggregate of our then outstanding common stock. See “Suitability Standards” and “Description of Capital Stock—Restriction on Ownership of Shares of Capital Stock.” We have adopted a share repurchase program which may provide limited liquidity for some of our stockholders. For more information on our share repurchase program, see “Description of Capital Stock—Share Repurchase Program.”

 

Q:What is your exit strategy?

 

A:We presently intend, but are not required, to complete a transaction providing liquidity for our stockholders within three to six years from the completion of our initial public offering; however, the timing of any such event will be significantly dependent upon economic and market conditions after completion of our offering. Our charter does not require our board of directors to pursue a liquidity event. However, we expect that our board of directors will determine to pursue a liquidity event when it believes that then-current market conditions are favorable for a liquidity event, and that such a transaction is in the best interests of our stockholders. A liquidity event could include (1) the sale of all or substantially all of our assets either on a portfolio basis or individually followed by a liquidation, (2) a merger or another transaction approved by our board of directors in which our stockholders will receive cash or shares of a publicly traded company or (3) a listing of our shares on a national securities exchange. There can be no assurance as to when such a suitable transaction will be available.

 

Q:Will the distributions I receive be taxable?

 

A:For any year that we qualify as a REIT, distributions that you receive, including the market value of our common stock received pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, will generally be taxed as ordinary income to the extent they are paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits. However, if we recognize a long-term capital gain upon the sale of one of our assets, a portion of our distributions may be designated and treated as a long-term capital gain. In addition, we expect that some portion of your distributions may not be subject to tax due to the fact that depreciation expenses reduce earnings and profits but do not reduce cash available for distribution. Amounts distributed to you in excess of our earnings and profits will reduce the tax basis of your shares of common stock and will not be taxable to the extent thereof, and distributions in excess of tax basis will be taxable as an amount realized from the sale of your shares of common stock. This, in effect, would defer a portion of your tax until your investment is sold or we are liquidated, at which time you may be taxed at capital gains rates. However, because each investor’s tax considerations are different, we suggest that you consult with your tax advisor.

 

Q:When will I get my detailed tax information?

 

A:We intend to mail your Form 1099 tax information, if required, by January 31 of each year.

 

Q:Where can I find updated information regarding the company?

 

A: You may find updated information on our website, www.moodynationalreit.com. In addition, we are subject to the informational reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. Under the Exchange Act, we file our quarterly and annual reports and other information with the SEC. See “Additional Information” for a description of how you may read and copy the registration statement, the related exhibits and the reports and other information we file with the SEC. In addition, you will receive periodic updates directly from us, including three quarterly financial reports and an annual report.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. Because it is a summary, it may not contain all of the information that is important to you. To understand this offering fully, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section, before making an investment decision. The use of the words “we,” “us” or “our” refers to Moody National REIT II, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Moody National Operating Partnership II, LP, except where the context otherwise requires.

 

Moody National REIT II, Inc.

 

We were formed as a Maryland corporation on July 25, 2014 to invest in a portfolio of hospitality properties focusing primarily on the select-service segment of the hospitality sector with premier brands including, but not limited to, Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt. We intend to acquire hotel properties located in the East Coast, the West Coast and the Sunbelt regions of the United States. To a lesser extent, we may also invest in other hospitality properties located within other markets and regions as well as real estate securities and debt-related investments related to the hospitality sector.

 

We commenced our initial public offering of up to $1,100,000,000 in shares of our common stock on           , 2015. We intend to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code, beginning with our taxable year ending December 31 in which we satisfy the minimum offering requirement.

 

We are externally managed by Moody National Advisor II, LLC, an affiliate of ours which we refer to as our “advisor.” Our advisor’s team of real estate professionals has substantial discretion with respect to the selection of specific investments consistent with our investment objectives and strategy, subject to the approval of our board of directors. Our advisor was formed in July 2014. Our advisor’s management team has substantial experience in the real estate industry and has successfully completed approximately 46 fully subscribed private placements in real estate programs of multiple property types with over 1,308 investors across the United States. Our advisor’s management team also advises another publicly offered investment program, Moody National REIT I, Inc., or Moody National REIT I, which has raised approximately $87.7 million from over 1,600 investors in its continuous public offering through December 4, 2014. Moody National REIT I’s current investment portfolio is comprised of seven hotel properties, a joint venture interest in a hotel property and a joint venture interest in a mortgage note that is secured by a hotel property.

 

Our sponsor, Moody National REIT Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is owned and managed by Brett C. Moody, who also serves as our Chief Executive Officer and President and the Chief Executive Officer and President of our advisor. We refer to Moody National REIT Sponsor, LLC as our “sponsor” or “Moody National.”

 

Our office is located at 6363 Woodway Drive, Suite 110, Houston, Texas 77057, and our main telephone number is 713-977-7500.

 

Investment Strategy and Objectives:

 

Our investment objectives are to:

 

preserve, protect and return stockholders’ capital contributions;

 

pay attractive and stable cash distributions to stockholders; and

 

realize capital appreciation upon the ultimate sale of the real estate assets we acquire.

 

We expect that our portfolio will consist primarily of select-service hotel properties with premier brands, including, but not limited to, Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt, that are located in major metropolitan markets in the East Coast, West Coast and Sunbelt regions of the United States. Such hotel properties, which we refer to as “select-service hotels,” target business-oriented travelers by providing clean rooms with basic amenities. In contrast to lower-cost budget motels, select-service hotels provide amenities such as an exercise room, business facilities and breakfast buffets. In contrast to full-service hotels, select-service hotels typically do not have a full-service restaurant, which is relatively costly to operate. To a lesser extent, we may also invest in other hospitality properties located within other markets and regions as well as real estate securities and debt-related investments related to the hospitality sector. Our board of directors may adjust our investment focus from time to time based upon market conditions and other factors our board of directors deem relevant.

 

In identifying investments, we will rely upon a market optimization investment strategy and acquisition model that analyzes economic fundamentals and demographic trends in major metropolitan markets. By utilizing a targeted, disciplined approach, we believe that we will be able to capitalize on market inefficiencies and identify undervalued investment opportunities with underlying intrinsic value that have the potential to create greater value at disposition. Our investment strategy seeks to identify technical pressures created by demographic, business and industry changes, which we believe leads to supply and demand imbalances within certain sectors of commercial real estate.

 

6
 

 

Based on our internal research, we believe that presently the hospitality sector, compared to other real estate asset classes, has the greatest supply-demand imbalance, which should lead to upward pressure on room rates. In addition, we believe that hotel properties continue to trade below historical price levels, resulting in attractive purchasing opportunities at this present time. More specifically, we believe that premier-brand, select-service hotel properties in major metropolitan markets have the potential to generate attractive returns relative to other types of hotel properties due to their ability to achieve Revenue per Available Room (RevPAR) levels at or close to those achieved by traditional, full-service hotels while achieving higher profit margins due to their more efficient operating model and more predicable net operating income. In addition, our market optimization investment strategy, accounting for growth potential and risks related to asset devaluation, takes into account current supply-demand imbalances and targets markets that offer stable population growth, high barriers to entry and multiple demand generators.

 

Summary of Risk Factors

 

An investment in shares of our common stock involves significant risks, including the following:

 

This is an initial public offering. We have no prior operating history and there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully achieve our investment objectives.

 

No public trading market exists for shares of our common stock and we are not required to effectuate a liquidity event by a certain date. As a result, it will be difficult for you to sell your shares of our common stock. If you are able to sell your shares, you will likely have to sell them at a substantial discount.

 

We plan to invest primarily in premier-brand, select-service hotel properties that are located in major metropolitan markets in select U.S. geographic regions. A more focused investment portfolio is inherently more risky than a more diversified portfolio. As a result, our results of operations may be adversely affected by a downturn in the hospitality sector or adverse economic developments in the geographic regions in which we invest.

 

There are restrictions and limitations on your ability to have all or a portion of your shares of our common stock repurchased under our share repurchase program, and if you are able to have your shares repurchased pursuant to our share repurchase program, it may be for a price less than the price you paid for the shares and the then current value of the shares.

 

The offering price of our shares of common stock for this offering was not determined on an independent basis and bears no relationship to the book or net value of assets we own or may own or to our expected operating income; therefore, the offering price may not accurately reflect the value of our assets when you invest.

 

The price of our shares may be adjusted periodically to reflect changes in the estimated value of our assets and therefore future adjustments may result in an offering price lower than the price you paid for your shares.

 

The amount of distributions we may make is uncertain. Our distributions may exceed our earnings, particularly during the period before we have acquired a substantial portfolio of real estate assets. Our distributions may be paid from other sources such as borrowings, offering proceeds or deferral of fees and expense reimbursements by our advisor, in its sole discretion. Payment of distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations would reduce the funds available to us for investments in properties, which could reduce your overall return. Because this is a blind pool offering, it is likely that distributions paid during the early stages of our offering and before we have acquired a substantial portfolio of real estate assets will be funded primarily from offering proceeds. We have not established a limit on the amount of proceeds from this offering that we may use to fund distributions. Therefore, portions of the distributions that we make may represent a return of capital to you, which will lower your tax basis in our shares.

 

This is considered to be a “blind pool” offering because you will not have the opportunity to evaluate our future investments prior to purchasing shares of our common stock.

 

This is a “best efforts” offering and our ability to raise money and achieve our investment objectives depends on the ability of the dealer manager to successfully market our offering.

 

We rely on our advisor, property manager and sub-property managers and their affiliates for our day-to-day operations and the selection of our investments. Adverse changes in the financial health of our advisor, property manager and sub-property managers could cause our operations to suffer.

 

We pay substantial fees and expenses to our advisor and its affiliates, including the dealer manager for this offering. These fees were not negotiated at arm’s length and therefore may be higher than fees payable to unaffiliated parties. Upon termination of our advisory agreement for any reason, including for cause, our advisor will be paid all accrued and unpaid fees and expense reimbursements earned prior to the date of termination and we may be required to pay significant fees regardless of our advisor’s performance, which will reduce cash available for distribution to you.

 

Our advisor and other affiliates face conflicts of interest as a result of compensation arrangements, time constraints and competition for investments, including (1) conflicts related to compensation payable by us to our advisor and other affiliates that may not be on terms that would result from arm’s-length negotiations between unaffiliated parties, (2) the allocation of time between advising us and other real estate investment programs and (3) the recommendation of investments on our behalf when other affiliated programs are seeking similar investments.

 

Because Moody Securities is an affiliate of ours, you will not have the benefit of an independent due diligence review and investigation of the type normally performed by an unaffiliated, independent underwriter in connection with a securities offering. The lack of an independent due diligence review and investigation increases the risk of your investment because it may not have uncovered facts that would be important to a potential investor.

 

If we fail to qualify as a REIT, it would adversely affect our operations and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders, because we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates with no ability to deduct distributions made to our stockholders.

Our Board of Directors

 

We operate under the direction of our board of directors, the members of which are accountable to us and our stockholders as fiduciaries. The board of directors is responsible for the management and control of our affairs. We have three members on our board of directors, two of whom are independent of us, our advisor and our respective affiliates. Our directors will be elected annually by our stockholders. Our board of directors has established an audit committee. For more information on the members of our board of directors, see “Management.”

 

Our Advisor

 

Moody National Advisor II, LLC, our advisor and a wholly owned subsidiary of our sponsor, was formed as a Delaware limited liability company in July 2014. Mr. Brett C. Moody controls and indirectly owns our advisor. We will rely on our advisor to manage our day-to-day activities and to implement our investment strategy. In addition, our advisor will use its best efforts, subject to the oversight, review and approval of our board of directors, to, among other things, research, identify, review and make investments in and dispositions of hospitality assets on our behalf consistent with our investment strategy and objectives.

 

Our advisor performs its duties and responsibilities as our fiduciary under an advisory agreement. Our advisory agreement has a one-year term, subject to renewals by the board of directors for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods. Our officers and our affiliated director are all officers of our advisor.

 

Our Sponsor

 

Moody National REIT Sponsor, LLC, our sponsor, was formed as a Delaware limited liability company in January 2008. Mr. Moody, who serves as our Chief Executive Officer and President, as well as the Chief Executive Officer and President of our advisor, controls and indirectly owns our sponsor. Mr. Moody has closed more than 200 commercial real estate transactions totaling over $2.0 billion and has experience owning, financing and managing hotel, multifamily, office, and retail assets throughout the country. Mr. Moody has assembled a team of real estate professionals who have been through multiple real estate cycles in their careers and have the expertise gained through hands-on experience in acquisitions, asset management, dispositions, development, leasing and property and portfolio management. We believe that the experience of Mr. Moody and the team of real estate professionals assembled to manage our operations and their disciplined investment approach will allow us to successfully execute our investment strategy. Our sponsor, and its management team, also manages and sponsors Moody National REIT I, a publicly offered real estate program, which, as of December 4, 2014, has raised approximately $87.7 million of equity from more than 1,600 investors. Additionally, since 2005, the experience of these individuals includes (as of September 30, 2014):

 

sponsoring 46 privately offered prior real estate programs;

 

raising over $427.9 million of equity from more than 1,308 investors through these privately offered prior real estate programs;

 

acquiring over 70 hotels throughout the United States, with a value totaling approximately $1.5 billion; and

 

operating or asset managing over 40 hotels located throughout the United States.

 

Our Operating Partnership

 

We own all of our investments through Moody National Operating Partnership II, LP, our operating partnership, or its subsidiaries. We are the sole general partner of our operating partnership, and the initial limited partners of our operating partnership are our subsidiary, Moody OP Holdings II, LLC, or Moody Holdings II, and Moody National LPOP II, LLC, or Moody LPOP II, an affiliate of our advisor. Moody Holdings II invested $1,000 in our operating partnership in exchange for limited partnership interests, and Moody LPOP II invested $1,000 in our operating partnership in exchange for special limited partnership interests.

 

Our Affiliates

 

Various affiliates of ours are involved in this offering and our operations. Moody Securities, LLC, which is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA, is the dealer manager for this offering and will provide dealer manager services to us in this offering. Mr. Robert W. Engel, our Chief Financial Officer, is an officer of our dealer manager. Our dealer manager is indirectly owned by Mr. Moody. For more information regarding our officers and the officers of our advisor and dealer manager, see the “Management” section of this prospectus. Another affiliate, Moody National Hospitality Management, LLC, our property manager, will perform certain hotel management services for us and our operating partnership. Our property manager is controlled by Mr. Moody. In addition, our property manager may engage affiliated sub-property managers to provide management and leasing services at select, individual hospitality properties.

Our Structure

 

 The chart below shows the relationships among various Moody National affiliates. We are the sole general partner of our operating partnership. In the future, our operating partnership may issue limited partnership interests to third parties from time to time in connection with acquisitions of real estate properties. In order for the income from any hotel property investments to constitute “rents from real properties” for purposes of the gross income test required for REIT qualification, the income we earn cannot be derived from the operation of any of these hotels. Therefore, we will lease each hotel property to a subsidiary of our operating partnership, which we intend to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary, or TRS.

 

 

 

  

 

(1)Brett C. Moody owns 100% of Moody National REIT Sponsor, LLC.

(2)We are the sole general partner of our operating partnership. As we accept subscriptions of shares of our common stock, we will transfer substantially all of the net offering proceeds to our operating partnership in exchange for limited partnership interests and our percentage ownership in our operating partnership will increase proportionally.

Terms of the Offering

 

We are offering up to $1,100,000,000 in shares of our common stock in this offering. We are offering $1,000,000,000 in shares of our common stock to the public at a price of $25.00 per share, which we refer to as the primary offering. We are also offering $100,000,000 in shares of our common stock to our stockholders pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at a price of $23.75 per share. Our board of directors may, from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion, change the price at which we offer shares to the public in the primary offering or pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan to reflect changes in our estimated value per share, changes in applicable law and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. If we determine to change the price at which we offer shares, we do not anticipate that we will do so more frequently than quarterly. We reserve the right to reallocate the shares of common stock we are offering between the primary offering and our distribution reinvestment plan. This is a best efforts offering, which means that our affiliate Moody National Securities, LLC, which is the dealer manager for this offering, will use its best efforts to sell our shares of common stock, but is not required to sell any specific amount of shares.

We will begin selling shares of our common stock in this offering upon the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and we will continue to offer shares of our common stock on a continuous basis over a two year period until this offering terminates on or before     , 2017, unless extended. However, in many states, we will need to renew the registration statement or file a new registration statement to continue this offering beyond one year from the date of this prospectus. We reserve the right to terminate this offering at any time.

 

Offering proceeds will be held in an escrow account at the escrow agent until we meet the minimum offering amount of $2,000,000 (including shares purchased by our sponsor, its affiliates and our directors and officers). Thereafter, the offering proceeds will be released to us and will be available for investment or the payment of fees and expenses. If we do not raise at least $2,000,000 by ,     2016 (one year from the date of the commencement of this offering) we will terminate this offering and promptly return all subscribers’ funds held in escrow, plus any interest accrued on the escrowed funds.

 

Compensation to Our Advisor and Affiliates

 

Our advisor and other affiliates receive compensation and fees for services related to this offering and for the investment and management of our assets, subject to review and approval of our independent directors. Set forth below is a summary of the fees and expenses we expect to pay our advisor and its affiliates, including the dealer manager, assuming we sell the maximum of $1,000,000,000 in shares in the primary offering, we sell all shares in this offering at the highest possible sales commissions and dealer manager fees and there are no discounts in the price per share. No effect is given to any shares sold through our distribution reinvestment plan. Unless a specific form of payment is specifically provided for in our advisory agreement, our advisor may, in its sole discretion, elect to have any fees paid, in whole or in part, in cash or shares of our common stock. See “Management Compensation” for a more detailed explanation of the fees and expenses payable to our dealer manager, advisor and its affiliates, and for a more detailed description of the special limited partnership interests issued to the special limited partnership interest holder.

 

Compensation/ Reimbursement and Recipient Description and Method of Computation Estimated Amount
Maximum Offering
  Organizational and Offering Stage  
Sales Commission–Dealer Manager 7.0% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares in the primary offering (all or a portion of which may be reallowed to participating broker-dealers). $70,000,000
     
Dealer Manager Fee–Dealer Manager 3.0% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares in the primary offering, a portion of which may be reallowed to participating broker-dealers (excluding funds retained for the payment of wholesaling commissions, training and education costs and overhead expenses). $30,000,000
     
Organizational and Offering Expense Reimbursement–Advisor or its affiliates Reimbursement for organizational and offering expenses incurred on our behalf, but only to the extent that such reimbursements do not exceed actual expenses incurred by the advisor and would not cause the cumulative sales commission, the dealer manager fee and other organization and offering expenses borne by us to exceed 15.0% of gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares in the primary offering as of the date of reimbursement. We estimate that organization and offering expenses (excluding sales commissions and dealer manager fees) will represent approximately 2.0% of gross proceeds from our primary offering, or approximately $20,000,000, if we raise the maximum offering amount. $20,000,000
     
  Operational Stage  
Acquisition Fees–Advisor or its affiliates 1.5% of (1) the cost of all investments we acquire (including our pro rata share of any indebtedness assumed or incurred in respect of the investment and exclusive of acquisition and financing coordination fees), (2)  our allocable cost of investments acquired in a joint venture (including our pro rata share of the purchase price and our pro rata share of any indebtedness assumed or incurred in respect of that investment and exclusive of acquisition fees and financing coordination fees) or (3) the amount funded by us to acquire or originate a loan or other investment, including mortgage, mezzanine or bridge loans (including any third-party expenses related to such investment and exclusive of acquisition fees and financing coordination fees). Once the proceeds from the primary offering have been fully invested, the aggregate amount of acquisition fees and financing coordination fees shall not exceed 1.9% of the contract purchase price and the amount advanced for a loan or other investment, as applicable, for all the assets acquired. $13,200,000 (assuming no leverage is used to purchase real estate assets).   $52,800,000 (assuming a leverage ratio of 75%).

Compensation/ Reimbursement and Recipient Description and Method of Computation Estimated Amount
Maximum Offering
     
Financing Coordination Fees–Advisor 1.0% of the amount available under any loan or line of credit originated or assumed, directly or indirectly, in connection with the acquisition of properties or other permitted investments, which will be in addition to the acquisition fee paid to our advisor, and 0.75% of the amount available or outstanding under any refinanced loan or line of credit. Financing coordination fees are only payable if our advisor provides services in connection with the origination, assumption or refinancing of debt that we use to acquire properties or other permitted investments. Our advisor may pay some or all of the fees to third parties if it subcontracts to coordinate financing. No fee will be paid in connection with loan proceeds from any line of credit until such time as we have invested all net offering proceeds. Actual amounts depend upon the amount of debt obtained and services provided, and, therefore, cannot be determined at this time.
     
Reimbursement of Acquisition Expenses—Advisor Reimbursement of actual expenses related to the evaluation, selection and acquisition of real estate investments, regardless of whether we actually acquire the related assets. In no event will the total of all acquisition fees (including financing coordination fees) and acquisition expenses payable exceed 6.0% of the contract purchase price of all real estate investments acquired. Actual amounts are dependent upon the actual asset values, timing of acquisition and leverage and, therefore, cannot be determined at this time.
     
Asset Management Fees—Advisor A monthly amount equal to one-twelfth of 1.0% of the sum of the cost of all real estate investments we acquire. Actual amounts depend upon the aggregate cost of our investments, and, therefore, cannot be determined at this time.
     
Hotel Management Fees–Moody National Hospitality Management, LLC A monthly hotel management fee equal to 4.0% of the monthly gross receipts from the properties managed by our property manager. Our property manager may pay some or all of these fees to third parties for management services. In the event that our TRS lessee contracts directly with a non-affiliated third-party property manager, our TRS lessee will pay our property manager a market-based oversight fee. Our TRS lessee will reimburse the costs and expenses incurred by our property manager on its behalf, including legal, travel and other out-of-pocket expenses that are directly related to the management of specific properties. Our TRS lessee will not, however, reimburse our property manager for general overhead costs or personnel costs other than employees or subcontractors who are engaged in the on-site operation, management, maintenance or access control of our properties. Actual amounts depend upon the gross revenue of the properties, and, therefore, cannot be determined at this time.
     
Annual Incentive Fee–Moody National Hospitality Management, LLC We, indirectly through our TRS lessee, also pay an annual incentive fee to our property manager. Such annual incentive fee is equal to 15% of the amount by which the operating profit from the properties managed by our property manager for such fiscal year (or partial fiscal year) exceeds 8.5% of the total investment of such properties. Our property manager may pay some or all of this annual fee to third-party property managers for management services. The actual amount will depend on gross revenues of properties and the total investment in properties, and, therefore, cannot be determined at this time.

For purposes of this fee, “total investment” means the sum of (1) the price paid to acquire a property, including closing costs, conversion costs, and transaction costs; (2) additional invested capital; and (3) any other costs paid in connection with the acquisition of the property, whether incurred pre- or post-acquisition.

 
     
Operating Expenses–Advisor We reimburse our advisor for all expenses paid or incurred by our advisor in connection with the services provided to us, including our allocable share of the advisor’s overhead, such as rent, personnel costs, utilities and IT costs; provided, however, that we do not reimburse our advisor or its affiliates for employee costs in connection with services for which our advisor or its affiliates receives acquisition, disposition or asset management fees or for the personnel costs our advisor pays with respect to persons who serve as our executive officers. Actual amounts are dependent upon expenses paid or incurred and the NASAA REIT Guidelines 2%/25% limitation, and therefore, cannot be determined at the present time.
     
  Liquidity Stage  
Disposition Fees–Advisor or its affiliates

If our advisor provides a substantial amount of services in connection with the sale of a property or other investment, as determined by our independent directors, we may pay our advisor a disposition fee equal to the lesser of (1)(a) where a brokerage commission is also payable to a third party, one-half of the aggregate brokerage commission paid, including brokerage commissions payable to third parties, or (b) where no brokerage commission is payable to any third party, the competitive real estate commission or (2) 3.0% of the contract sales price of each property or other investment sold, provided, however, in no event may the aggregate of the disposition fees paid to our advisor and any real estate commissions paid to unaffiliated third parties exceed 6.0% of the contract sales price. With respect to a property held in a joint venture, the foregoing commission will be reduced to a percentage of such amount reflecting our economic interest in the joint venture .

Actual amounts depend upon the sales price of investments, and therefore cannot be determined at this time.
     
Special Limited Partnership Interest—Moody National LPOP II, LLC

The special limited partnership interest holder, was issued special limited partnership interests upon its initial investment of $1,000 in our operating partnership and in consideration of services to be provided by our advisor, and as the holder of special limited partnership interests will be entitled to receive distributions equal to 15.0% of our net cash flows, whether from continuing operations, the repayment of loans, the disposition of assets or otherwise, but only after our stockholders have received, in the aggregate, cumulative distributions equal to their total invested capital plus a 6.0% cumulative, non-compounded annual pre-tax return on such aggregated invested capital. In addition, the special limited partnership interest holder will be entitled to a separate payment if it redeems its special limited partnership interests. The special limited partnership interests may be redeemed upon: (1) the listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange; or (2) the occurrence of certain events that result in the termination or non-renewal of our advisory agreement, in each case for an amount that Moody LPOP II would have been entitled to receive, as described above, as if our operating partnership had disposed of all of its assets at the enterprise valuation as of the date of the event triggering the redemption. If the event triggering the redemption is: (1) a listing of our shares on a national securities exchange, the enterprise valuation will be calculated based on the average share price of our shares for a specified period; or (2) an underwritten public offering, the enterprise value will be based on the valuation of the shares as determined by the initial public offering price in such offering. If the triggering event is the termination or non-renewal of our advisory agreement other than for cause, the enterprise valuation will be calculated based on an appraisal or valuation of our assets.

Actual amounts depend upon future liquidity events, and therefore cannot be determined at this time.

Prior Investment Programs

 

The section of this prospectus entitled “Prior Performance Summary” contains a discussion of the programs sponsored by Moody National and its affiliates. Certain financial data relating to these programs is also provided in the “Prior Performance Tables” in Appendix A to this prospectus. The prior performance of our affiliates’ previous real estate programs may not be indicative of our ultimate performance and, thus, you should not assume that you will experience financial performance and returns comparable to those experienced by investors in these prior programs. You may experience a small return or no return on, or may lose some or all of, your investment in our shares.

 

Conflicts of Interest

 

Our advisor and its affiliates may experience conflicts of interest in connection with this offering and the management of our business and the other businesses of our sponsor, including Moody National REIT I, a public, non-listed REIT also sponsored by our sponsor which has investment objectives generally similar to this offering. Such conflicts of interest include the following:

 

although our advisor does not currently manage other real estate programs, the directors, officers and key personnel of our advisor and our affiliated property and sub-property manager must allocate their time between advising us and managing other real estate projects and business activities in which they may be involved;

 

the compensation payable by us to our advisor and other affiliates may not be on terms that would result from arm’s-length negotiations between unaffiliated parties, and fees such as the acquisition fees and asset management fees payable to our advisor, in most cases, regardless of the performance of the investments we make, and thus may create an incentive for the advisor to accept a higher purchase price for assets or to purchase assets that may not otherwise be in our best interest;

 

real estate professionals acting on behalf of our advisor must determine which investment opportunities to recommend to us and other Moody National affiliates, including Moody National REIT I, which could reduce the number of potential investments presented to us;

 

our property manager is an affiliate of our advisor and, as a result, may benefit from our advisor’s determination to retain our assets while our stockholders may be better served by the sale or disposition of our assets;

 

our advisor may terminate our advisory agreement with good reason upon 60 days written notice. Upon termination of our advisory agreement by our advisor, Moody LPOP II, as the holder of special limited partnership interests, may be entitled to have the special limited partnership interests redeemed as of the termination date if our stockholders have received, or are deemed to receive, in the aggregate, cumulative distributions equal to total invested capital plus a 6.0% cumulative non-compounded annual pre-tax return on such aggregate invested capital. The amount of the payment will be based on an appraisal or valuation of our assets as of the termination date. This potential obligation would reduce the overall return to stockholders to the extent such return exceeds 6.0%;

 

our dealer manager is an affiliate of ours and, as a result, you will not have the benefit of an independent due diligence review and investigation of the type normally performed by an unaffiliated, independent underwriter in connection with a securities offering; and

 

other real estate programs sponsored by our sponsor and offered through our dealer manager, including both privately and publicly offered real estate programs, may conduct offerings concurrently with this offering, and our sponsor and dealer manager will face potential conflicts of interest arising from competition among us and these other programs for investment capital and hospitality investments.

 

Distribution Policy

 

We intend to qualify as a REIT commencing with the taxable year in which we satisfy the minimum offering requirements. To qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute 90% of our annual taxable income to our stockholders. We intend to make distributions on a monthly basis beginning no later than the first calendar month after the month in which the minimum offering requirements are met. In connection with a distribution to our stockholders, our board of directors will approve a monthly distribution of a certain dollar amount per share of our common stock. We will then calculate each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the month using daily record and declaration dates and your distributions will begin to accrue on the date we mail a confirmation of your subscription for shares of our common stock.

 

Our distributions may exceed our earnings, particularly during the period before we have acquired a substantial portfolio of real estate assets. Our distributions may be paid from other sources such as borrowings, offering proceeds or deferral of fees and expense reimbursements by our advisor, as determined by our board of directors in its sole discretion. Payment of distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations would reduce the funds available to us for investments in properties, which could reduce your overall return. Because this is a blind pool offering, it is likely that distributions paid during the early stages of our offering and before we have acquired a substantial portfolio of real estate assets will be funded primarily from offering proceeds.

 

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

 

You may participate in our distribution reinvestment plan and elect to have the cash distributions you receive reinvested in shares of our common stock at an initial price of $23.75 per share. Our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, from time to time, change this price based upon changes in our estimated value per share, the then current net asset value of our portfolio, the then current public offering price of shares of our common stock and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. If we determine to change the price at which we offer shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, we do not anticipate that we will do so more frequently than quarterly.

 

13
 

 

Our board of directors may terminate the distribution reinvestment plan at its discretion at any time upon ten days’ notice to you. Following any termination of the distribution reinvestment plan, all subsequent distributions to stockholders will be made in cash. No sales commissions or dealer manager fees are payable on shares sold through our distribution reinvestment plan.

 

Share Repurchase Program

 

Our common stock is currently not listed on a national securities exchange, and we have no present plan or intention to list our common stock on a national securities exchange in the near future. In order to provide stockholders with the benefit of some interim liquidity, we have adopted a share repurchase program that enables our stockholders to have shares of our common stock repurchased, subject to certain restrictions and limitations. Prior to the date we publish an estimated value per share of our common stock, the purchase price for shares repurchased under our share repurchase program will be at a price equal to, or at a discount from, the purchase price paid for the shares being repurchased. The discount will vary based upon the length of time that a stockholder has held the shares of our common stock subject to repurchase, as described in the following table:

 

Share Purchase Anniversary   Repurchase Price as a
Percentage of
Purchase Price
 
      
Less than 1 year   No Repurchase Allowed
1 year   92.5%
2 years   95.0%
3 years   97.5%
4 years and longer   100.0%

 

Unless the shares are being repurchased in connection with a stockholder’s death or qualifying disability, shares may not be repurchased under our share repurchase program until after the first anniversary of the date of purchase of such shares. Repurchase requests made within two years of the death or qualifying disability of a stockholder will be repurchased at a price equal to the purchase price paid by such deceased or disabled stockholder for such shares.

 

Pursuant to current rules and regulations, we will establish an estimated value per share no later than 150 days following the second anniversary of breaking escrow in this offering, or the valuation date. From and after the valuation date, our board of directors will determine an estimated value per share of our common stock. After we begin providing an estimated per share value, we will repurchase shares under our share repurchase program for the lesser of the price paid for the shares by the stockholders where shares are being repurchased or 95% of the estimated per share value as determined by our board of directors.

 

Repurchases of shares of our common stock will be made upon the request of a stockholder and generally will be made on a quarterly basis, subject to certain restrictions and limitations. Our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, accept or reject any share repurchase request made by any stockholder at any time. Repurchases during any calendar year will be limited to the lesser of (1) 5.0% of the weighted average of common stock outstanding during the prior calendar year and (2) the number of shares of our common stock that could be repurchased with the net proceeds from the sale of shares under the distribution reinvestment plan in the prior calendar year plus such additional funds as may be reserved for share repurchase by our board of directors; provided, however that shares subject to a repurchase request upon the death of a stockholder will be included in calculating the maximum number of shares that may be repurchased, but the above volume limitations shall not apply to repurchases requested upon the death of a stockholder. In the event that we do not have sufficient funds available to repurchase all of the shares for which repurchase requests have been submitted in any quarter, we will repurchase the shares on a pro rata basis on the repurchase date. Our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time upon 30 days’ prior written notice. The share repurchase program will terminate if (1) shares of our common stock are listed on a national securities exchange or (2) our board of directors determines that termination of the share repurchase program is in our best interests. Therefore, stockholders may not have the opportunity to make a repurchase request prior to any potential termination of our share repurchase program.

 

Liquidity Strategy

 

We presently intend, but are not required, to complete a transaction providing liquidity for our stockholders within three to six years from the completion of our initial public offering; however the timing of any such event will be significantly dependent upon economic and market conditions after completion of our primary offering. Our charter does not require our board of directors to pursue a liquidity event. However, we expect that our board of directors will determine to pursue a liquidity event when it believes that then-current market conditions are favorable for a liquidity event, and that such a transaction is in the best interests of our stockholders. A liquidity event could include (1) the sale of all or substantially all of our assets either on a portfolio basis or individually followed by a liquidation, (2) a merger or another transaction approved by our board of directors in which our stockholders will receive cash or shares of a publicly traded company or (3) a listing of our shares on a national securities exchange. There can be no assurance as to when such a suitable transaction will be available.

Investment Company Act Considerations

 

We intend to conduct our operations so that neither we, nor our operating partnership nor the subsidiaries of our operating partnership are required to register as investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act.

 

Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer that is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer that is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of the issuer’s total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis, which we refer to as the “40% test.” Excluded from the term “investment securities,” among other things, are U.S. government securities and securities issued by majority-owned subsidiaries that are not themselves investment companies and are not relying on the exception from the definition of investment company set forth in Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.

 

We believe that we, our operating partnership and most of the subsidiaries of our operating partnership will not fall within either definition of investment company as we intend to invest primarily in real property, rather than in securities, through our operating partnership or our operating partnership’s wholly or majority-owned subsidiaries, the majority of which we expect will have at least 60% of their assets in real property. As these subsidiaries would be investing either solely or primarily in real property, they would not be within the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act. We are organized as a holding company that conducts its businesses primarily through our operating partnership, which in turn is a company conducting its business of investing in real property either directly or through its subsidiaries. Both we and our operating partnership intend to conduct our operations so that we comply with the 40% test. We will monitor our holdings to ensure continuing and ongoing compliance with this test. In addition, we believe neither we nor our operating partnership will be considered an investment company under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act because neither we nor our operating partnership will engage primarily or hold itself out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Rather, through our operating partnership or our operating partnership’s wholly owned or majority-owned subsidiaries, we and our operating partnership will be primarily engaged in the business of purchasing or otherwise acquiring real property.

 

Even if the value of investment securities held by a subsidiary of our operating partnership were to exceed 40% of its total assets, we expect that subsidiary to be able to rely on the exclusion from the definition of “investment company” provided by Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act, which is available for entities “primarily engaged in the business of purchasing or otherwise acquiring mortgages and other liens on, and interests in, real estate.” This exception generally requires that at least 55% of a subsidiary’s portfolio must be comprised of qualifying real estate assets and at least 80% of its portfolio must be comprised of qualifying real estate assets and real estate-related assets (and no more than 20% comprised of miscellaneous assets).

 

For purposes of the exclusion provided by Sections 3(c)(5)(C), we will classify the investments made by our subsidiaries based in large measure on no-action letters issued by the SEC staff and other SEC interpretive guidance and, in the absence of SEC guidance, on our view of what constitutes a qualifying real estate asset and a real estate-related asset. These no-action letters were issued in accordance with factual situations that may be substantially different from the factual situations we may face, and a number of these no-action letters were issued more than ten years ago. Pursuant to this guidance, and depending on the characteristics of the specific investments, certain mortgage loans, participations in mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities, mezzanine loans, joint venture investments and the equity securities of other entities may not constitute qualifying real estate assets and therefore investments in these types of assets may be limited. No assurance can be given that the SEC or its staff will concur with our classification of our assets. Future revisions to the Investment Company Act or further guidance from the SEC staff may cause us to lose our exclusion from the definition of investment company or force us to re-evaluate our portfolio and our investment strategy. Such changes may prevent us from operating our business successfully.

 

To the extent that the SEC or its staff provides more specific or different guidance regarding the treatment of assets as qualifying real estate assets or real estate-related assets, we may be required to adjust our investment strategy accordingly. Any additional guidance from the SEC or its staff could provide additional flexibility to us, or it could further inhibit our ability to pursue the investment strategy we have chosen. There can be no assurance that the laws and regulations governing the Investment Company Act status of REITs, including more specific or different guidance regarding these exclusions that may be published by the SEC or its staff, will not change in a manner that adversely affects our operations. For instance, in 2011, the SEC solicited public comment on a wide range of issues relating to Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act, including the nature of the assets that qualify for purposes of the exclusion. We cannot assure you that the SEC or its staff will not take action that results in our or our subsidiary’s failure to maintain an exception or exemption from the Investment Company Act.

 

In the event that we, or our operating partnership, were to acquire assets that could make either entity fall within one of the definitions of investment company under Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act, we believe that we would still qualify for an exclusion from the definition of “investment company” provided by Section 3(c)(6). Although the SEC staff has issued little interpretive guidance with respect to Section 3(c)(6), we believe that we and our operating partnership may rely on Section 3(c)(6) if 55% of the assets of our operating partnership consist of, and at least 55% of the income of our operating partnership is derived from, qualifying real estate investment assets owned by wholly owned or majority-owned subsidiaries of our operating partnership.

 

15
 

 

Finally, to remain outside the definition of an investment company or maintain compliance with exceptions from the definition of investment company, we, our operating company or our subsidiaries may be unable to sell assets we would otherwise want to sell and may need to sell assets we would otherwise wish to retain. In addition, we, our operating partnership or our subsidiaries may have to acquire additional income- or loss-generating assets that we might not otherwise have acquired or may have to forego opportunities to acquire interest in companies that we would otherwise want to acquire and that may be important to our investment strategy. If our subsidiaries fail to own a sufficient amount of qualifying real estate assets or additional qualifying real estate assets or real estate related assets to satisfy the requirements of Section 3(c)(5)(C) and cannot rely on any other exemption or exclusion under the Investment Company Act, we could be characterized as an investment company. Our advisor will continually review our investment activity to attempt to ensure that we will not be regulated as an investment company. Among other things, our advisor will attempt to monitor the proportion of our portfolio that is placed in investments in securities.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We do not intend to take advantage of these exemptions.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This permits an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to take advantage of this extended transition period and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies.

 

We could remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (1) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (2) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter and we have been publicly reporting for at least 12 months, or (3) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our common stock involves various risks and uncertainties. You should carefully consider the risks described below in conjunction with the other information contained in this prospectus before purchasing shares of our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below represent those risks and uncertainties that we believe are material to us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us may also harm our business.

 

INVESTMENT RISKS

 

There is no public trading market for shares of our common stock and we are not required to effectuate a liquidity event by a certain date. As a result, it will be difficult for you to sell your shares of common stock and, if you are able to sell your shares, you are likely to sell them at a substantial discount.

 

This is an initial public offering. There is no current public market for the shares of our common stock and we have no obligation to list our shares on any public securities market or provide any other type of liquidity to our stockholders. It will therefore be difficult for you to sell your shares of common stock promptly or at all. Even if you are able to sell your shares of common stock, the absence of a public market may cause the price received for any shares of our common stock sold to be less than what you paid or less than your proportionate value of the assets we own. We have adopted a share repurchase program but it is limited in terms of the amount of shares that stockholder may sell back to us each quarter. Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate our share repurchase program upon 30 days’ prior notice to our stockholders. Additionally, our charter does not require that we consummate a transaction to provide liquidity to stockholders on any date certain or at all. As a result, you should purchase shares of our common stock only as a long-term investment, and you must be prepared to hold your shares for an indefinite length of time.

 

This is a “blind pool” offering, and you will not have the opportunity to evaluate our investments prior to purchasing shares of our common stock.

 

Neither we nor our advisor has presently identified, acquired or contracted to acquire any real estate assets. As a result, you will not be able to evaluate the economic merits, transaction terms or other financial or operational data concerning our investments prior to purchasing shares of our common stock. You must rely on our advisor and our board of directors to implement our investment policies, to evaluate our investment opportunities and to structure the terms of our investments. Because investors are not able to evaluate our investments in advance of purchasing shares of our common stock, this offering may entail more risk than other types of offerings. This additional risk may hinder your ability to achieve your own personal investment objectives related to portfolio diversification, risk-adjusted investment returns and other objectives.

 

We have no prior operating history and there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully achieve our investment objectives.

 

We have no prior operating history and may not be able to successfully operate our business or achieve our investment objectives. As a result, an investment in our shares of common stock may entail more risk than the shares of common stock of a real estate investment trust with a substantial operating history. In addition, you should not rely on the past performance of real property, real estate securities or debt-related investments owned by Moody National affiliates to predict our future results. Nor should you assume that the prior performance of other investment programs sponsored by our sponsor, Moody National REIT Sponsor, LLC, or its affiliates (private or publicly offered, including, without limitation, Moody National REIT I) will be indicative of our future results.

 

This is a “best efforts” offering and if we are unable to raise substantial funds, we will be limited in the number and type of investments we may make, which could negatively impact your investment.

 

This offering is being made on a “best efforts” basis, whereby the broker-dealers participating in the offering are only required to use their best efforts to sell shares of our common stock and have no firm commitment or obligation to purchase any of the shares of our common stock. If we are unable to raise substantially more than the minimum offering amount of $2,000,000, we will make fewer investments, resulting in less diversification in terms of the number of investments owned, the geographic regions in which our assets are located and the types of investments that we make. Further, it is likely that in our early stages of growth we may not be able to achieve a portfolio that is consistent with our longer-term investment objectives, increasing the likelihood that any single investment’s poor performance would materially affect our overall investment performance. Our inability to raise substantial funds would also increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income. Each of these factors could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

 

Our ability to successfully conduct this offering is dependent, in part, on the ability of our dealer manager to successfully establish, operate and maintain a network of broker-dealers.

 

The dealer manager for this offering is Moody Securities, LLC, which we refer to as “Moody Securities.” Moody Securities only has experience acting as a dealer manager for one public offering in addition to ours, Moody National REIT I. The success of this offering, and correspondingly our ability to implement our business strategy, is dependent upon the ability of our dealer manager to establish and maintain a network of licensed securities broker-dealers and other agents. If our dealer manager fails to perform, we may not be able to raise sufficient proceeds through this offering to implement our investment strategy. If we are unsuccessful in implementing our investment strategy, you could lose all or a part of your investment.

Because our charter does not require our listing or liquidation by a specified date, you should only purchase our shares as a long-term investment and be prepared to hold them for an indefinite period of time.

 

In the future, our board of directors will consider alternatives for providing liquidity to our stockholders, which we refer to as a liquidity event. A liquidity event may include the sale of our assets, a sale or merger of our company or a listing of our shares on a national securities exchange. In the future, our board of directors will consider various types of liquidity events, including but not limited to: (1) the listing of shares of our common stock on a national securities exchange; (2) a sale or merger in a transaction that provides our stockholders with cash or securities of a publicly traded company; and (3) the sale of all or substantially all of our assets for cash or other consideration. It is anticipated that our board of directors will consider a liquidity event within three to six years after the completion of our initial primary offering; however the timing of any such event will be significantly dependent upon economic and market conditions after completion of our offering stage. Because our charter does not require us to pursue a liquidity event by a specified date, you should only purchase our shares as a long-term investment and be prepared to hold them for an indefinite period of time.

 

We pay substantial fees and expenses to our advisor and its affiliates, including the dealer manager. These fees were not negotiated at arm’s length, may be higher than fees payable to unaffiliated third parties and reduce cash available for investment.

 

A portion of the offering price from the sale of our shares are used to pay fees and expenses to our advisor and its affiliates. These fees were not negotiated at arm’s length and may be higher than fees payable to unaffiliated third parties. In addition, because the full offering price paid by stockholders will not be invested in hospitality assets. Stockholders will only receive a full return of their invested capital if we either (1) sell our assets or our company for a sufficient amount in excess of the original purchase price of our assets or (2) the market value of our company after we list our shares of common stock on a national securities exchange is substantially in excess of the original purchase price of our assets.

 

You are limited in your ability to sell your shares of common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program. You may not be able to sell any of your shares of our common stock back to us, and if you do sell your shares, you may not receive the price you paid.

 

Our share repurchase program may provide you with a limited opportunity to have your shares of common stock repurchased by us at a price equal to or at a discount from the purchase price of the shares of our common stock being repurchased. Unless the shares are being repurchased in connection with a stockholder’s death or qualifying disability, shares may not be repurchased under our share repurchase program until after the first anniversary of the date of purchase of such shares. We anticipate that shares of our common stock may be repurchased on a quarterly basis. However, our share repurchase program contains certain restrictions and limitations, including those relating to the number of shares of our common stock that we can repurchase at any given time and limiting the repurchase price. Specifically, we presently intend to limit the number of shares to be repurchased to no more than the lesser of (1) 5.0% of the weighted-average number of shares of our common stock outstanding during the prior calendar year and (2) the number of shares of our common stock that could be purchased with the net proceeds from the sale of shares under the distribution reinvestment plan in the prior calendar year plus such additional funds as may be reserved for share repurchase by our board of directors; provided, however that shares subject to a repurchase request upon the death of a stockholder will be included in calculating the maximum number of shares that may be repurchased, but the above limitation shall not apply to repurchases requested upon the death of a stockholder. In addition, our board of directors reserves the right to amend or suspend the share repurchase program at any time or terminate the share repurchase program upon a determination that termination would be in our best interests. Therefore, you may not have the opportunity to make a repurchase request prior to a potential termination of the share repurchase program and you may not be able to sell any of your shares of common stock back to us pursuant to our share repurchase program. Moreover, if you do sell your shares of common stock back to us pursuant to the share repurchase program, you may not receive the same price you paid for any shares of our common stock being repurchased.

 

Investors who invest in us at the beginning of this offering may realize a lower rate of return than later investors.

 

There can be no assurances as to when we will begin to generate sufficient cash flow to fully fund the payment of distributions. As a result, investors who invest in us before we generate significant cash flow may realize a lower rate of return than later investors. We expect to have little cash flow from operations available for distribution until we make substantial investments. In addition, to the extent our investments are in properties that have significant capital requirements, our ability to make distributions may be negatively impacted, especially during our early periods of operation. Therefore, until such time as we have sufficient cash flow from operations to fully fund the payment of distributions, some or all of our distributions may be paid from other sources, such as from the proceeds of our public offerings, cash advances to us by our advisor, cash resulting from a waiver of fees by our advisor, and borrowings.

 

18
 

 

The offering price of our shares of common stock for this offering was not determined on an independent basis, and therefore it may not accurately represent the current value of our assets at any particular time.

 

The offering price of our shares of common stock for this offering was not determined on an independent basis and bears no relationship to our book or asset values or to any other established criteria for valuing shares. Because the offering price is not based upon any independent valuation, the offering price may not be indicative of the proceeds that you would receive upon our liquidation. Further, the offering price may be significantly more than the price at which our shares of common stock would trade if they were to be listed on an exchange or actively traded by broker-dealers.

 

We may not provide stockholders with an estimated value per share of our common stock until 150 days following the second anniversary of breaking escrow in this offering. Therefore, you will not be able to determine the true value of your shares on an ongoing basis during this offering.

 

Unless the rules and regulations governing valuations change, from and after 150 days following the second anniversary of breaking escrow in this offering, our advisor or another firm we choose for that purpose will establish an estimated value per share of our common stock that we will disclose in a report under the Exchange Act and in each annual report thereafter. Therefore, you will not be able to determine the true value of your shares on an ongoing basis during this offering. Our estimated value per share will be based upon valuations of all of our assets by independent third-party appraisers and qualified independent valuation experts selected by our advisor. Our estimated value per share may not be indicative of the price our stockholders would receive if they sold our shares in an arm’s-length transaction, if our shares were actively traded or if we were liquidated.

 

If we internalize our management functions, your interest in us could be diluted and we could incur other significant costs associated with being self-managed.

 

Our board of directors may decide in the future to internalize our management functions. If we do so, we may elect to negotiate to acquire our advisor’s assets and personnel. At this time, we cannot anticipate the form or amount of consideration or other terms relating to any such acquisition. Such consideration could take many forms, including cash payments, promissory notes and shares of our common stock. The payment of such consideration could result in dilution of your interests as a stockholder and could reduce the earnings per share and funds from operations per share attributable to your investment.

 

Additionally, while we would no longer bear the costs of the various fees and expenses we pay to our advisor under the advisory agreement, our direct expenses would include general and administrative costs, including legal, accounting and other expenses related to corporate governance, SEC reporting and compliance. We would also be required to employ personnel and would be subject to potential liabilities commonly faced by employers, such as workers disability and compensation claims, potential labor disputes and other employee-related liabilities and grievances as well as incur the compensation and benefits costs of our officers and other employees and consultants that we now expect will be paid by our advisor or its affiliates. We may issue equity awards to officers, employees and consultants, which awards would decrease net income and funds from operations and may further dilute your investment. We cannot reasonably estimate the amount of fees to our advisor we would save or the costs we would incur if we became self-managed. If the expenses we assume as a result of an internalization are higher than the expenses we avoid paying to our advisor, our earnings per share and funds from operations per share would be lower as a result of the internalization than it otherwise would have been, potentially decreasing the amount of funds available to distribute to our stockholders and the value of our shares.

 

If we internalize our management functions, we could have difficulty integrating these functions as a stand-alone entity. Currently, our advisor and its affiliates perform asset management and general and administrative functions, including accounting and financial reporting, for multiple entities. These personnel have a great deal of know-how and experience which provides us with economies of scale. We may fail to properly identify the appropriate mix of personnel and capital needs to operate as a stand-alone entity. An inability to manage an internalization transaction effectively could thus result in our incurring excess costs and suffering deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting. Such deficiencies could cause us to incur additional costs, and our management’s attention could be diverted from most effectively managing our real estate assets.

 

If we were to internalize our management or if another investment program, whether sponsored by our sponsor or otherwise, hires the employees of our advisor in connection with its own internalization transaction or otherwise, our ability to conduct our business may be adversely affected.

 

We rely on persons employed by our advisor and its affiliates to manage our day-to-day operations. If we were to effectuate an internalization of our advisor, we may not be able to retain all of the employees of our advisor and its affiliates or to maintain a relationship with our sponsor. In addition, some of the employees of our advisor and its affiliates provide services to one or more other investment programs, including Moody National REIT I. These programs or third parties may decide to retain some or all of our advisor’s key employees in the future. If this occurs, these programs could hire certain of the persons currently employed by our advisor and its affiliates who are most familiar with our business and operations, thereby potentially adversely impacting our business.

 

19
 

 

Our cash distributions are not guaranteed, may fluctuate and may constitute a return of capital or taxable gain from the sale or exchange of property.

 

The actual amount and timing of distributions will be determined by our board of directors and typically will depend upon the amount of funds available for distribution, which will depend on items such as current and projected cash requirements and tax considerations. As a result, our distribution rate and payment frequency may vary from time to time. Our long-term strategy is to fund the payment of monthly distributions to our stockholders entirely from our funds from operations. However, during the early stages of our operations, we may need to borrow funds, request that our advisor in its discretion, defer its receipt of fees and reimbursements of expenses or, to the extent necessary, utilize offering proceeds in order to make cash distributions. Accordingly, the amount of distributions paid at any given time may not reflect current cash flow from operations. Distributions payable to stockholders may also include a return of capital, rather than a return on capital.

 

We may pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations, we will have reduced funds available for investment and the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced.

 

Our organizational documents permit us to pay distributions from any source, including net proceeds from our public offerings, borrowings, advances from our sponsor or advisor and the deferral of fees and expense reimbursements by our advisor, in its sole discretion. Until we make substantial investments, we may fund distributions from the net proceeds from this offering or sources other than cash flow from operations. Further, because this is a blind pool offering, it is likely that distributions paid during the early stages of our offering and before we have acquired a substantial portfolio of real estate assets will be funded primarily from offering proceeds. We have not established a limit on the amount of offering proceeds, or other sources other than cash flow from operations, which we may use to fund distributions.

 

If we are unable to consistently fund distributions to our stockholders entirely from our cash flow from operations, the value of your shares upon a listing of our common stock, the sale of our assets or any other liquidity event may be reduced. To the extent that we fund distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations, our funds available for investment will be reduced relative to the funds available for investment if our distributions were funded solely from cash flow from operations, our ability to achieve our investment objectives will be negatively impacted and the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced. In addition, if we make a distribution in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the distribution will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital, which will reduce the stockholder’s tax basis in its shares of common stock. The amount, if any, of each distribution in excess of a stockholder’s tax basis in its shares of common stock will be taxable as gain realized from the sale or exchange of property. For further information regarding the tax consequences in the event we make distributions other than from cash flow from operations, please see “Federal Income Tax Considerations–Taxation of Taxable U.S. Stockholders.”

 

We may not meet the minimum offering requirements for this offering. Therefore, you may not have access to your funds for one year from the date of this prospectus.

 

If the minimum offering requirements are not met within one year from the date of this prospectus, this offering will terminate and subscribers who have delivered their funds into escrow will not have access to those funds until such time. In addition, the interest rate on the funds delivered into escrow may be less than the rate of return you could have achieved from an alternative investment.

 

The price of our shares of common stock may be adjusted to a price less than the price you paid for your shares of common stock.

 

The price of our shares of common stock may be adjusted periodically, in the sole and absolute discretion of our board of directors, to reflect changes in the estimated value of our assets and other factors our board of directors deems relevant and therefore future adjustments may result in an offering price lower than the price you paid for your shares.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

 

We, our sponsor and our advisor have limited experience in operating a public company or a REIT, and our failure to operate successfully or profitably could have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate cash flow.

 

We and our advisor are each recently formed companies. Our advisor and our sponsor and of our advisor’s and sponsor’s respective officers or employees in their capacities with our advisor and our sponsor have limited experience operating a public company or an entity that has elected to be taxed as a REIT. You should not rely upon the past performance of other real estate investment programs of our affiliates to predict our future results. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not purchased any real estate or made any other investments, and we have not identified any probable investments. You should consider our prospects in light of the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by companies that are, like us, in their early stage of development. To be successful, we must, among other things:

 

identify and acquire investments that align with our investment strategies;

 

establish and maintain contacts with licensed securities brokers and other agents to successfully complete this offering;

 

20
 

 

attract, integrate, motivate and retain qualified personnel to manage our day-to-day operations;

 

respond to competition for our targeted real estate properties, real estate securities and debt-related investments as well as for potential investors in our shares; and

 

continue to build and expand our operations structure to support our business.

 

Our failure, or our advisor’s or sponsor’s failure, to operate successfully or profitably could have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate cash flow to make distributions to our stockholders and could cause you to lose all or a portion of your investment in our shares.

 

Our success is dependent on the performance of our sponsor and Moody National affiliates.

 

Our ability to achieve our investment objectives and to pay distributions is dependent upon the performance of our advisor, our sponsor and other affiliates of our sponsor, and any adverse change in their financial health could cause our operations to suffer. Our sponsor and its other affiliates are sensitive to trends in the general economy, as well as the real estate and credit markets. The most recent market downturn has adversely impacted, and could continue to adversely impact, certain prior real estate programs of our sponsor’s affiliates, resulting in a decrease or deferral of distributions with respect to such programs. Certain prior real estate programs have also requested additional cash infusions from investors to fund outstanding debt service payments. Further such requests may be necessary in the future depending upon the then-current economic conditions. These adverse developments have resulted in a reduction in payments to investors for certain prior real estate programs.

 

To the extent that any decline in revenues and operating results impacts our sponsor’s ability to provide our advisor with sufficient resources to perform its obligations to us pursuant to the advisory agreement, our results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions to our stockholders could also suffer. Additionally, such adverse conditions could require a substantial amount of time on the part of the management of our advisor and its affiliates, particularly with regard to other real estate programs, thereby decreasing the amount of time they spend actively managing our investments.

 

If we are delayed or unable to find suitable investments, we may not be able to achieve our investment objectives.

 

Delays in selecting, acquiring and developing hospitality assets could adversely affect investor returns. Because we are conducting this offering on a “best efforts” basis over time, our ability to commit to purchase specific assets will depend, in part, on the amount of proceeds we have received at a given time. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not identified the real estate assets that we will purchase with the proceeds of this offering. If we are unable to access sufficient capital, we may suffer from delays in deploying the capital into suitable investments.

 

We are uncertain of our sources for funding our future capital needs. If we do not have sufficient funds from operations to cover our expenses or to fund improvements to any hospitality properties we may acquire and cannot obtain debt or equity financing on acceptable terms, our ability to cover our expenses or to fund improvements to our hospitality properties will be adversely affected.

 

The net proceeds of this offering will be used for investments in hospitality assets and for payment of operating expenses, various fees and other expenses. During the initial stages of the offering, we may not have sufficient funds from operations to cover our expenses or to fund improvements to our properties. Accordingly, in the event that we develop a need for additional capital in the future for the improvement of our properties or for any other reason, sources of funding may not be available to us. If we do not have sufficient funds from cash flow generated by our investments or out of net sale proceeds, or cannot obtain debt or equity financing on acceptable terms, our financial condition and ability to make distributions may be adversely affected.

 

Public, non-listed REITs have been the subject of scrutiny by regulators and media outlets resulting from inquiries and investigations initiated by FINRA, the SEC and certain States. We could also become the subject of scrutiny and may face difficulties in raising capital should negative perceptions develop regarding public, non-listed REITs. As a result, we may be unable to raise substantial funds which will limit the number and type of investments we may make and our ability to diversify our assets.

 

Our securities, like other public, non-listed REITs, are sold through the independent broker-dealer channel (i.e., U.S. broker-dealers that are not affiliated with money center banks or similar financial institutions). Governmental and self-regulatory organizations like the SEC, the States and FINRA impose and enforce regulations on broker-dealers, investment banking firms, investment advisers and similar financial services companies. Self-regulatory organizations such as FINRA adopt rules, subject to approval by the SEC, that govern aspects of the financial services industry and conduct periodic examinations of the operations of registered investment dealers and broker-dealers.

 

Recently, FINRA and certain States have initiated investigations of broker-dealers with respect to the sales practices related to the sale of shares of public, non-listed REITS. The SEC recently approved rules proposed by FINRA that may significantly affect the manner in which public, non-listed REITs, such as our company, raise capital. These rules may cause a negative impact on our ability to achieve our business plan and to successfully sell shares in our offering.

 

21
 

 

As a result of this increased scrutiny and accompanying negative publicity and coverage by media outlets, FINRA may impose additional restrictions on sales practices in the independent broker-dealer channel for public, non-listed REITs, and accordingly we may face increased difficulties in raising capital in our offering. This could result in a reduction in the returns achieved on those investments as a result of a smaller capital base limiting our investments. If we become the subject of scrutiny, even if we have complied with all applicable laws and regulations, responding to such scrutiny could be expensive and distracting to our management.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

 

Maryland law and our organizational documents limit your right to bring claims against our officers and directors.

 

Maryland law provides that a director will not have any liability as a director so long as he or she performs his or her duties in accordance with the applicable standard of conduct. In addition, our charter provides that, subject to the applicable limitations set forth therein or under Maryland law, no director or officer will be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages. Our charter also provides that we will generally indemnify and advance expenses to our directors, our officers, our advisor and its affiliates for losses they may incur by reason of their service in those capacities subject to any limitations under Maryland law or in our charter. Moreover, we have entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. As a result, we and our stockholders may have more limited rights against these persons than might otherwise exist under common law. In addition, we may be obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by these persons in some cases. However, our charter provides that we may not indemnify our directors, our advisor and its affiliates for loss or liability suffered by them or hold our directors or our advisor and its affiliates harmless for loss or liability suffered by us unless they have determined that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in our best interests, they were acting on our behalf or performing services for us, the liability was not the result of negligence or misconduct by our non-independent directors, our advisor and its affiliates or gross negligence or willful misconduct by our independent directors, and the indemnification or obligation to hold harmless is recoverable only out of our net assets, including the proceeds of insurance, and not from the stockholders. See “Management—Limited Liability and Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Others.”

 

The limit on the percentage of shares of our common stock that any person may own may discourage a takeover or business combination that may benefit our stockholders.

 

Our charter restricts the direct or indirect ownership by one person or entity to no more than 9.8% of the value of the aggregate of our then outstanding shares of capital stock (which includes common stock and any preferred stock or convertible stock we may issue) and no more than 9.8% of the value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the aggregate of our then outstanding common stock unless exempted (prospectively or retroactively) by our board of directors. These restrictions may discourage a change of control of us and may deter individuals or entities from making tender offers for shares of our common stock on terms that might be financially attractive to stockholders or which may cause a change in our management. In addition to deterring potential transactions that may be favorable to our stockholders, these provisions may also decrease your ability to sell your shares of our common stock.

 

We may issue preferred stock, convertible stock or other classes of common stock, which issuance could adversely affect the holders of our common stock issued pursuant to this offering.

 

Investors in this offering do not have preemptive rights to any shares issued by us in the future. We may issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock, convertible stock or other classes of common stock with rights that could dilute the value of your shares of common stock. However, the issuance of preferred stock or convertible stock must be approved by a majority of our independent directors not otherwise interested in the transaction, who will have access, at our expense, to our legal counsel or to independent legal counsel. The issuance of preferred stock or other classes of common stock could increase the number of stockholders entitled to distributions without simultaneously increasing the size of our asset base.

 

Our charter authorizes us to issue 1,100,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 1,000,000,000 shares of capital stock are designated as common stock, par value $0.01 per share; 100,000,000 shares of capital stock are classified as preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share; and 1,000 shares of capital stock are classified as convertible stock, par value $0.01 per share. Our board of directors, with the approval of a majority of the entire board of directors and without any action by our stockholders, may amend our charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of capital stock or the number of authorized shares of capital stock of any class or series. If we ever created and issued preferred stock or convertible stock with a distribution preference over common stock, payment of any distribution preferences of outstanding preferred stock or convertible stock would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of distributions on our common stock. Further, holders of preferred stock are normally entitled to receive a preference payment in the event we liquidate, dissolve or wind up before any payment is made to our common stockholders, likely reducing the amount common stockholders would otherwise receive upon such an occurrence. In addition, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock or a separate class or series of common stock may render more difficult or tend to discourage:

 

22
 

 

a merger, tender offer or proxy contest;

 

the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of our securities; and

 

the removal of incumbent management.

 

Our UPREIT structure may result in potential conflicts of interest with limited partners in our operating partnership whose interests may not be aligned with those of our stockholders.

 

We are structured as an “UPREIT,” which stands for “umbrella partnership real estate investment trust.” We use the UPREIT structure because a contribution of property directly to us is generally a taxable transaction to the contributing property owner. In the UPREIT structure, a contributor of a property who desires to defer taxable gain on the transfer of a property may transfer the property to our operating partnership in exchange for limited partnership interests and defer taxation of gain until the contributor later exchanges his or her limited partnership interests for shares of our common stock. We believe that using an UPREIT structure gives us an advantage in acquiring desired properties from persons who may not otherwise sell their properties because of unfavorable tax results.

 

Our operating partnership may issue limited partner interests in connection with certain transactions. Limited partners in our operating partnership have the right to vote on certain amendments to the operating partnership agreement, as well as on certain other matters. Persons holding such voting rights may exercise them in a manner that conflicts with the interests of our stockholders. As general partner of our operating partnership, we are obligated to act in a manner that is in the best interest of all partners of our operating partnership. Circumstances may arise in the future when the interests of limited partners in our operating partnership may conflict with the interests of our stockholders. These conflicts may be resolved in a manner stockholders do not believe are in their best interest.

 

In addition, the special limited partnership interest holder is an affiliate of our advisor and, as the special limited partner in our operating partnership, may be entitled to: (1) certain cash distributions upon the disposition of certain of our operating partnership’s assets; or (2) a one-time payment in the form of cash or shares in connection with the redemption of the special limited partnership interests upon the occurrence of a listing of our shares on a national stock exchange or certain events that result in the termination or non-renewal of our advisory agreement. The special limited partnership interest holder will only become entitled to the compensation after stockholders have received, in the aggregate, cumulative distributions equal to their invested capital plus a 6.0% cumulative, non-compounded annual pre-tax return on such invested capital. This potential obligation to make substantial payments to the holder of the special limited partnership interests would reduce the overall return to stockholders to the extent such return exceeds 6.0%.

 

We may grant stock-based awards to our directors, employees and consultants pursuant to our long-term incentive plan, which will have a dilutive effect on your investment in us.

 

We expect that our board of directors will adopt a long-term incentive plan, pursuant to which we are authorized to grant restricted stock, stock options, restricted or deferred stock units, performance awards or other stock-based awards to directors, employees and consultants selected by our board of directors for participation in the plan. We currently intend only to issue awards of restricted stock to our independent directors under our long-term incentive plan. If we issue additional stock-based awards to eligible participants under our long-term incentive plan, the issuance of these stock-based awards will dilute your investment in our shares of common stock.

 

Certain features of our long-term incentive plan could have a dilutive effect on your investment in us, including (1) a lack of annual award limits, individually or in the aggregate (subject to the limit on the maximum number of shares which may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the plan), (2) the fact that the limit on the maximum number of shares which may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the plan is not tied to the amount of proceeds raised in the offering and (3) share counting procedures which provide that shares subject to certain awards, including, without limitation, substitute awards granted by us to employees of another entity in connection with our merger or consolidation with such company or shares subject to outstanding awards of another company assumed by us in connection with our merger or consolidation with such company, are not subject to the limit on the maximum number of shares which may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the plan.

 

Your investment return may be reduced if we are required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act; if we are subject to registration under the Investment Company Act, we will not be able to continue our business.

 

Neither we, our operating partnership or any of our subsidiaries intend to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Our operating partnership’s and subsidiaries’ intended investments in real estate will represent the substantial majority of our total asset mix. In order for us not to be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, we intend to engage, through our operating partnership and our wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries, primarily in the business of buying real estate. These investments must be made within a year after this offering ends.

 

23
 

 

Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer that is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer that is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of the issuer’s total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis, which we refer to as the “40% test.” Excluded from the term “investment securities,” among other things, are U.S. government securities and securities issued by majority-owned subsidiaries that are not themselves investment companies and are not relying on the exception from the definition of investment company set forth in Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.

 

We believe that we, our operating partnership and most of the subsidiaries of our operating partnership will not fall within either definition of investment company under Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act as we intend to invest primarily in real property, through our operating partnership or our operating partnership’s wholly or majority-owned subsidiaries, the majority of which we expect to have at least 60% of their assets in real property. As these subsidiaries would be investing either solely or primarily in real property, they would be outside of the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act. We are organized as a holding company that conducts its businesses primarily through our operating partnership, which in turn is a company conducting its business of investing in real property either directly or through its subsidiaries. Both we and our operating partnership intend to conduct our operations so that we comply with the 40% test. We will monitor our holdings to ensure continuing and ongoing compliance with this test. In addition, we believe that neither we nor our operating partnership will be considered an investment company under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act because neither we nor our operating partnership will engage primarily or hold itself out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Rather, through our operating partnership or our operating partnership’s wholly owned or majority-owned subsidiaries, we and our operating partnership will be primarily engaged in the business of purchasing or otherwise acquiring real property.

 

In the event that the value of investment securities held by a subsidiary of our operating partnership were to exceed 40% of the value of its total assets, we expect that subsidiary to be able to rely on the exclusion from the definition of “investment company” provided by Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act. Section 3(c)(5)(C), as interpreted by the staff of the SEC, requires each of our subsidiaries relying on this exception to invest at least 55% of its portfolio in “mortgage and other liens on and interests in real estate,” which we refer to as “qualifying real estate assets,” and maintain at least 80% of its assets in qualifying real estate assets or other real estate-related assets. The remaining 20% of the portfolio can consist of miscellaneous assets. What we buy and sell is therefore limited by these criteria. How we determine to classify our assets for purposes of the Investment Company Act will be based in large measure upon no-action letters issued by the SEC staff in the past and other SEC interpretive guidance and, in the absence of SEC guidance, on our view of what constitutes a qualifying real estate asset and a real estate-related asset. These no-action positions were issued in accordance with factual situations that may be substantially different from the factual situations we may face, and a number of these no-action positions were issued more than ten years ago. Pursuant to this guidance, and depending on the characteristics of the specific investments, certain mortgage loans, participations in mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities, mezzanine loans, joint venture investments and the equity securities of other entities may not constitute qualifying real estate assets and therefore investments in these types of assets may be limited. No assurance can be given that the SEC or its staff will concur with our classification of our assets. Future revisions to the Investment Company Act or further guidance from the SEC staff may cause us to lose our exclusion from the definition of investment company or force us to re-evaluate our portfolio and our investment strategy. Such changes may prevent us from operating our business successfully.

 

There can be no assurance that the laws and regulations governing the Investment Company Act status of REITs, including more specific or different guidance regarding these exclusions that may be published by the SEC or its staff, will not change in a manner that adversely affects our operations. For instance, in 2011, the SEC solicited public comment on a wide range of issues relating to Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act, including the nature of the assets that qualify for purposes of the exclusion. In addition, the SEC or its staff could take action that results in our or our subsidiary’s failure to maintain an exception or exemption from the Investment Company Act.

 

In the event that we, or our operating partnership, were to acquire assets that could make either entity fall within one of the definitions of an investment company under Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act, we believe that we would still qualify for an exclusion from registration pursuant to Section 3(c)(6) of the Investment Company Act. Although the SEC staff has issued little interpretive guidance with respect to Section 3(c)(6), we believe that we and our operating partnership may rely on Section 3(c)(6) if 55% of the assets of our operating partnership consist of, and at least 55% of the income of our operating partnership is derived from, qualifying real estate assets owned by wholly owned or majority-owned subsidiaries of our operating partnership.

 

To ensure that neither we, our operating partnership or any of our subsidiaries are required to register as an investment company, each entity may be unable to sell assets that it would otherwise want to sell and may need to sell assets that it would otherwise wish to retain. In addition, we, our operating partnership or our subsidiaries may be required to acquire additional income- or loss-generating assets that we might not otherwise acquire or forego opportunities to acquire interests in companies that we would otherwise want to acquire. Although we, our operating partnership and our subsidiaries intend to monitor our portfolio periodically and prior to each acquisition and disposition, any of these entities may not be able to remain outside the definition of investment company or maintain an exclusion from the definition of an investment company. If we, our operating partnership or our subsidiaries are required to register as an investment company but fail to do so, the unregistered entity would be prohibited from engaging in our business, and criminal and civil actions could be brought against such entity. In addition, the contracts of such entity would be unenforceable unless a court required enforcement, and a court could appoint a receiver to take control of the entity and liquidate its business.

RISKS RELATED TO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

 

You will not have the benefit of an independent due diligence review in connection with this offering.

 

Because Moody Securities is an affiliate of ours, investors will not have the benefit of an independent due diligence review and investigation of the type normally performed by an unaffiliated, independent underwriter in connection with a securities offering. The lack of an independent due diligence review and investigation increases the risk of your investment because it may not have uncovered facts that would be important to a potential investor.

 

We depend on our advisor and its key personnel and if any of such key personnel were to cease to be affiliated with our advisor, our business could suffer.

 

Our ability to make distributions and achieve our investment objectives is dependent upon the performance of our advisor in the acquisition, disposition and management of real estate assets, the selection of tenants for our real properties and the determination of any financing arrangements. In addition, our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of certain of the key personnel of Moody National REIT Sponsor, LLC, our sponsor, including Brett C. Moody and Robert W. Engel, each of whom would be difficult to replace. We currently do not have key man life insurance on any of these key personnel. If our advisor were to lose the benefit of the experience, efforts and abilities of one or more of these individuals, our operating results could suffer.

 

We may compete with affiliates of our sponsor, including Moody National REIT I, for opportunities to acquire or sell investments, which may have an adverse impact on our operations.

 

We may compete with affiliates of our sponsor, including Moody National REIT I, which generally invests in hospitality assets, and which has more resources than we do, for opportunities to acquire or sell hospitality properties. We may also buy or sell hospitality properties at the same time as affiliates of our sponsor. In this regard, there is a risk that our sponsor will select for us investments that provide lower returns to us than investments purchased by its affiliates. Certain of our affiliates own or manage hospitality properties in geographical areas in which we expect to own hospitality properties. As a result of our potential competition with affiliates of our sponsor, certain investment opportunities that would otherwise be available to us may not in fact be available. This competition may also result in conflicts of interest that are not resolved in our favor.

 

The time and resources that Moody National affiliates devote to us may be diverted, and we may face additional competition due to the fact that Moody National affiliates are not prohibited from raising money for, or managing, another entity that makes the same types of investments that we target.

 

Moody National affiliates are not prohibited from raising money for, or managing, another investment entity that makes the same types of investments as those we target. For example, our advisor’s management has successfully completed approximately 46 fully subscribed private placements in real estate programs of multiple property types with over 1,308 investors across the United States, and, in addition, our advisor’s management team also advises another publicly offered investment program, our affiliate, Moody National REIT I, which has primarily invested in hospitality assets. As a result, the time and resources they could devote to us may be diverted to other investment activities. Additionally, some of our directors and officers serve as directors and officers of investment entities sponsored by our sponsor and its affiliates, including Moody National REIT I. Since these professionals engage in and will continue to engage in other business activities on behalf of themselves and others, these professionals will face conflicts of interest in allocating their time among us, our advisor, and its affiliates and other business activities in which they are involved. This could result in actions that are more favorable to other affiliates of our advisor than us.

 

In addition, we may compete with affiliates of our advisor for the same investors and investment opportunities. We may also co-invest with any such affiliate. Even though all such co-investments will be subject to approval by our independent directors, they could be on terms not as favorable to us as those we could achieve co-investing with a third-party.

 

Because other real estate programs sponsored by our sponsor and offered through our dealer manager may conduct offerings concurrently with this offering, our sponsor and dealer manager will face potential conflicts of interest arising from competition among us and these other programs for investors and investment capital, and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor.

 

Moody National REIT I’s public offering is expected to terminate prior to the commencement of our offering. However, future programs that our sponsor may decide to sponsor may seek to raise capital through public or private offerings conducted concurrently with this offering. As a result, our sponsor and our dealer manager may face conflicts of interest arising from potential competition with these other programs for investors and investment capital. Such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor and our stockholders will not have the opportunity to evaluate the manner in which these conflicts of interest are resolved before or after making their investment in our shares.

 

25
 

 

Our advisor and its affiliates, including our officers and some of our directors, will face conflicts of interest caused by compensation arrangements with us and other Moody National affiliates, which could result in actions that are not in the best interests of our stockholders.

 

Our advisor and its affiliates receive substantial fees from us in return for their services and these fees could influence the advice provided to us. Among other matters, the compensation arrangements could affect their judgment with respect to:

 

public offerings of equity by us, which allow our dealer manager to earn additional dealer manager fees;

 

real estate acquisitions, which allow our advisor to earn acquisition fees upon purchases of assets and increase asset management fees;

 

real estate asset sales, since the asset management fees payable to our advisor will decrease and since our advisor will be entitled to disposition fees upon sales;

 

the purchase of real estate assets from other Moody National affiliates, including our sponsor and its affiliates, which may allow our advisor or its affiliates to earn additional asset management fees, hotel management fees and disposition fees; and

 

whether and when we seek to list our common stock on a national securities exchange, which listing could entitle Moody LPOP II, as the holder of special limited partnership interests, to have its interests in our operating partnership redeemed.

 

Further, our advisor may recommend that we invest in a particular asset or pay a higher purchase price for the asset than it would otherwise recommend if it did not receive an acquisition fee. Certain potential acquisition fees and asset management fees payable to our advisor and hotel management and leasing fees payable to the property manager would be paid irrespective of the quality of the underlying real estate or hotel management services during the term of the related agreement. These fees may incentivize our advisor to recommend transactions with respect to the sale of a property or properties that may not be in our best interest at the time. Investments with higher net operating income growth potential are generally riskier or more speculative. In addition, the premature sale of an asset may add concentration risk to the portfolio or may be at a price lower than if we held on to the asset. Moreover, our advisor will have considerable discretion with respect to the terms and timing of acquisition, disposition and leasing transactions. In evaluating investments and other management strategies, the opportunity to earn these fees may lead our advisor to place undue emphasis on criteria relating to its compensation at the expense of other criteria, such as the preservation of capital, to achieve higher short-term compensation. Considerations relating to our affiliates’ compensation from us and other Moody National affiliates could result in decisions that are not in the best interests of our stockholders.

 

Our advisor may have conflicting fiduciary obligations if we acquire assets from affiliates of our sponsor or enter into joint ventures with affiliates of our sponsor. As a result, in any such transaction we may not have the benefit of arm’s-length negotiations of the type normally conducted between unrelated parties.

 

Our advisor may cause us to invest in a property owned by, or make an investment in equity securities in or real estate-related loans to, our sponsor or its affiliates or through a joint venture with affiliates of our sponsor. In these circumstances, our advisor will have a conflict of interest when fulfilling its fiduciary obligation to us. In any such transaction, we would not have the benefit of arm’s-length negotiations of the type normally conducted between unrelated parties.

 

The fees we pay to affiliates in connection with this offering and in connection with the acquisition and management of our investments were not determined on an arm’s-length basis; therefore, we do not have the benefit of arm’s-length negotiations of the type normally conducted between unrelated parties.

 

The fees to be paid to our advisor, our property manager, sub-property managers, our dealer manager and other affiliates for services they provide for us were not determined on an arm’s-length basis. As a result, the fees have been determined without the benefit of arm’s-length negotiations of the type normally conducted between unrelated parties and could be in excess of amounts that we would otherwise pay to third parties for such services.

 

We may purchase real estate assets from third parties who have existing or previous business relationships with affiliates of our advisor, and, as a result, in any such transaction, we may not have the benefit of arm’s-length negotiations of the type normally conducted between unrelated parties.

 

We may purchase assets from third parties that have existing or previous business relationships with affiliates of our advisor. The officers, directors or employees of our advisor and its affiliates and the principals of our advisor who also perform services for other Moody National affiliates may have a conflict in representing our interests in these transactions on the one hand and the interests of such affiliates in preserving or furthering their respective relationships on the other hand. In any such transaction, we will not have the benefit of arm’s-length negotiations of the type normally conducted between unrelated parties, and the purchase price or fees paid by us may be in excess of amounts that we would otherwise pay to third parties.

RISKS RELATED TO INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE

 

Disruptions in the financial markets and deteriorating economic conditions could adversely impact our ability to implement our investment strategy and achieve our investment objectives.

 

United States and global financial markets may experience extreme volatility and disruption resulting in tightening in overall credit markets, devaluation of the assets underlying certain financial contracts, and increased borrowing by governmental entities. Recent turmoil in the capital markets resulted in constrained equity and debt capital available for investment in the real estate market, resulting in fewer buyers seeking to acquire properties, increases in capitalization rates and lower property values. Recently, capital has been more available and the overall economy has begun to improve. However, the failure of a sustained economic recovery or future disruptions in the financial markets and deteriorating economic conditions could impact the value of our investments in properties. In addition, if potential purchasers of properties have difficulty obtaining capital to finance property acquisitions, capitalization rates could increase and property values could decrease. Current economic conditions greatly increase the risks of our investments.

 

Changes in national, regional or local economic, demographic or real estate market conditions may adversely affect our results of operations and returns to our stockholders.

 

We are subject to risks generally attributable to the ownership of real estate assets, including: changes in national, regional or local economic, demographic or real estate market conditions; changes in supply of or demand for similar properties in an area; increased competition for real estate assets targeted by our investment strategy; bankruptcies, financial difficulties or lease defaults by our tenants; changes in interest rates and availability of financing; and changes in government rules, regulations and fiscal policies, including changes in tax, real estate, environmental and zoning laws. These conditions, or others we cannot predict, may adversely affect our results of operations and returns to our stockholders.

 

We have established investment criteria based on certain target markets and geographic areas. If our investments are concentrated in an area that experiences adverse economic conditions, our investments may lose value and we may experience losses.

 

Our hospitality properties may be concentrated in one or few geographic locations, namely the East Coast, the West Coast and the Sunbelt regions. These investments may carry the risks associated with significant geographical concentration. We have not established and do not plan to establish any investment criteria to limit our exposure to these risks for future investments, and, as a result, we may experience losses as a result. A worsening of economic conditions in the geographic area in which our investments may be concentrated could have an adverse effect on our business.

 

Changes in supply of, or demand for, similar real properties in a particular area may increase the price of real properties we seek to purchase and decrease the price of real properties when we seek to sell them.

 

The real estate industry is subject to market forces. We are unable to predict certain market changes including changes in supply of, or demand for, similar real properties in a particular area. Any potential purchase of an overpriced asset could decrease our rate of return on these investments and result in lower operating results and overall returns to our stockholders.

 

Competition with third parties in acquiring properties and other investments may reduce our profitability and the return on your investment.

 

We will compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, including individuals, corporations, bank and insurance company investment accounts, other REITs, real estate limited partnerships, and other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, many of which have greater resources than we do. Larger REITs may enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital and enhanced operating efficiencies. In addition, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for suitable investments may increase. Any such increase would result in increased demand for these assets and therefore increased prices paid for them. If we pay higher prices for properties and other investments, our profitability will be reduced and you may experience a lower return on your investment.

 

27
 

 

Uninsured losses or premiums for insurance coverage relating to real property may adversely affect your returns.

 

There are types of losses, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution or environmental matters that are uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments. Risks associated with potential acts of terrorism could sharply increase the premiums we pay for coverage against property and casualty claims. Additionally, mortgage lenders sometimes require commercial property owners to purchase specific coverage against terrorism as a condition for providing mortgage loans. These policies may not be available at a reasonable cost, if at all, which could inhibit our ability to finance or refinance our properties. In such instances, we may be required to provide other financial support, either through financial assurances or self-insurance, to cover potential losses. Changes in the cost or availability of insurance could expose us to uninsured casualty losses. In the event that any of our properties incurs a casualty loss which is not fully covered by insurance, the value of our assets will be reduced by any such uninsured loss. In addition, we cannot assure you that funding will be available to us for repair or reconstruction of damaged hospitality property in the future.

 

Our hotel properties will be subject to property taxes that may increase in the future, which could adversely affect our cash flow.

 

Our hotel properties will be subject to property taxes that may increase as tax rates change and as our hotel properties are assessed or reassessed by taxing authorities. As the owner of the hotel properties, we are responsible for payment of the taxes to the applicable government authorities. If we fail to pay any such taxes, the applicable taxing authority may place a lien on the property and the property may be subject to a tax sale.

 

Our property manager’s or sub-property manager’s failure to integrate their subcontractors into their operations in an efficient manner could reduce the return on your investment.

 

Our property manager or sub-property manager may rely on multiple subcontractors for on-site hotel management of our properties. If our property manager and sub-property manager are unable to integrate these subcontractors into their operations in an efficient manner, our property manager or sub-property manager may have to expend substantial time and money coordinating with these subcontractors, which could have a negative impact on the revenues generated from such properties.

 

Actions of joint venture partners could negatively impact our performance.

 

We may enter into joint ventures with third parties, including with entities that are affiliated with our advisor. We may also purchase and develop properties in joint ventures or in partnerships, co-tenancies or other co-ownership arrangements with the sellers of the properties, affiliates of the sellers, developers or other persons. Such investments may involve risks not otherwise present with a direct investment in real estate, including, for example:

 

the possibility that our venture partner in an investment might become bankrupt;

 

that the venture partner may at any time have economic or business interests or goals which are, or which become, inconsistent with our business interests or goals;

 

that such venture partner may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests or contrary to our policies or objectives;

 

the possibility that we may incur liabilities as a result of an action taken by such venture partner;

 

that disputes between us and a venture partner may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and directors from focusing their time and effort on our business;

 

the possibility that if we have a right of first refusal or buy/sell right to buy out a venture partner, we may be unable to finance such a buy-out if it becomes exercisable or we may be required to purchase such interest at a time when it would not otherwise be in our best interest to do so; or

 

the possibility that we may not be able to sell our interest in the joint venture if we desire to exit the joint venture.

 

Under certain joint venture arrangements, neither venture partner may have the power to control the venture and an impasse could be reached, which might have a negative influence on the joint venture and decrease potential returns to you. In addition, to the extent that our venture partner is an affiliate of our advisor, certain conflicts of interest will exist.

 

Costs of complying with governmental laws and regulations related to environmental protection and human health and safety may be high.

 

All real property investments and the operations conducted in connection with such investments are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety. Some of these laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on customers, owners or operators for the costs to investigate or remediate contaminated properties, regardless of fault or whether the acts causing the contamination were legal.

 

28
 

 

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the cost of removing or remediating hazardous or toxic substances on such real property. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, the presence of hazardous substances, or the failure to properly remediate these substances, may adversely affect our ability to sell, rent or pledge such real property as collateral for future borrowings. Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which real property may be used or businesses may be operated. Some of these laws and regulations have been amended so as to require compliance with new or more stringent standards as of future dates. Compliance with new or more stringent laws or regulations or stricter interpretation of existing laws may require us to incur material expenditures. Future laws, ordinances or regulations may impose material environmental liability. Additionally, our tenants’ operations, the existing condition of land when we buy it, operations in the vicinity of our real properties, such as the presence of underground storage tanks, or activities of unrelated third parties may affect our real properties. There are also various local, state and federal fire, health, life-safety and similar regulations with which we may be required to comply and which may subject us to liability in the form of fines or damages for noncompliance. In connection with the acquisition and ownership of our real properties, we may be exposed to such costs in connection with such regulations. The cost of defending against environmental claims, of any damages or fines we must pay, of compliance with environmental regulatory requirements or of remediating any contaminated real property could materially and adversely affect our business, lower the value of our assets or results of operations and, consequently, lower the amounts available for distribution to you.

 

The costs associated with complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act may reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

 

Investment in real properties may also be subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, or the ADA. Under the ADA, all places of public accommodation are required to comply with federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The ADA has separate compliance requirements for “public accommodations” and “commercial facilities” that generally require that buildings and services be made accessible and available to people with disabilities. With respect to the properties we acquire, the ADA’s requirements could require us to remove access barriers and could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, monetary penalties or, in some cases, an award of damages. We cannot assure you that we will be able to acquire properties which comply with the ADA or allocate the responsibility for compliance with the ADA to another third party, such as the seller or the tenant of the property. Any monies we use to comply with the ADA will reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

 

RISKS RELATED TO THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY

 

A concentration of our investments in the hospitality industry may leave our profitability vulnerable to a downturn or slowdown in the sector.

 

We expect to concentrate our investments in the hospitality sector. As a result, we will be subject to risks inherent in investments in a single type of property. If our investments are substantially in the hospitality sector, then the potential effects on our revenues, and as a result, on cash available for distribution to our stockholders, resulting from a downturn or slowdown in the hospitality sector could be more pronounced than if we had more fully diversified our investments.

 

A possible lack of diversification increases the risk of investment.

 

There is no limit on the number of hotels of a particular hotel brand which we may acquire, or on the number of hotels we may acquire in a specific geographic region. We plan to invest primarily in the select-service hotel properties with premier brands including, but not limited to, Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt that are located in major metropolitan markets in the East Coast, West Coast and Sunbelt regions of the United States. If our hotel properties become geographically concentrated, or if we acquire a substantial number of hotel properties of a particular brand, an economic downturn in one or more of the markets in which we have invested or a negative event relating to a brand in which we have a concentration of hotels could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

 

If we do not successfully attract and retain franchise flagships for premier-brand, select-service hotel properties, our business will suffer, and this result will reduce the value of your investment.

 

Generally, we must attract and retain premier-brand hospitality franchises, including, Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt franchises, for any hotel properties we may choose to acquire. Hospitality franchises generally require that design and quality standards be met for guest room and common areas before a hospitality franchise will agree to provide the franchise agreement to operate a property. Compliance with these brand standards may impose significant costs upon us. Failure to maintain our hospitality properties in accordance with these standards or comply with other terms and conditions of the applicable franchise agreement could result in a franchise license being canceled. If a franchise license terminates due to our failure to make required improvements or to otherwise comply with its terms, we may also be liable to the franchisor for a termination fee. The loss of a franchise license could materially and adversely affect the operations or the underlying value of the hotel property because of the loss associated with the brand recognition and the marketing support and centralized reservation systems provided by the franchisor. A loss of a franchise license for one or more hotel properties could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and our cash flows, including our ability to service debt and make distributions to our stockholders.

 

29
 

 

There are risks associated with employing hotel employees.

 

While we will not directly employ or manage the labor force at our hospitality properties, we will be subject to many of the costs and risks generally associated with the hotel labor force. Our property manager or sub-property manager will be responsible for hiring and maintaining the labor force at each of our hotel properties and for establishing and maintaining the appropriate processes and controls over such activities. From time to time, the operations of our hotel properties may be disrupted through strikes, public demonstrations or other labor actions and related publicity. We may also incur increased legal costs and indirect labor costs as a result of the aforementioned disruptions, or contract disputes or other events. Significant adverse disruptions caused by union activities or increased costs affiliated with such activities could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and our cash flows, including our ability to service debt and make distributions to our stockholders.

 

Hospitality properties are illiquid investments, and we may be unable to adjust our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions or sell a property if or when we decide to do so.

 

Hospitality properties are illiquid investments. We may be unable to adjust our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, the hospitality property market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand, that are beyond our control. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any real property for the price or on the terms set by us, or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us. We cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of a real property. Additionally, we may be required to expend funds to correct defects or to make improvements before a property can be sold. We cannot assure you that we will have funds available to correct such defects or to make such improvements.

 

In acquiring a hospitality property, we may agree to restrictions that prohibit the sale of that property for a period of time or impose other restrictions, such as a limitation on the amount of debt that can be placed or repaid on that real property. All these provisions would restrict our ability to sell a property, which could reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

 

Our ability to make distributions to our stockholders will depend upon the ability of hotel managers to operate our hotels effectively.

 

We expect to invest a portion of the proceeds from this offering in hotel properties. To qualify as a REIT, we cannot operate any hotel or directly participate in the decisions affecting the daily operations of any hotel. Our property manager or a third-party property manager or sub-property manager will have direct control of the daily operations of our hotels. We will not have the authority to directly control any particular aspect of the daily operations of any hotel (e.g., setting room rates). Thus, even if we believed the hotels were being operated in an inefficient or sub-optimal manner, we would not be able to require a change to the method of operation. Our only alternative for changing the operation of the hotels would be to replace the manager of one or more hotels in situations where the applicable management agreement permits us to terminate the existing manager.

 

Our ability to make distributions to stockholders will be impacted by the performance of the hotel managers in generating sufficient revenues from the hotels in excess of operating expenses. The hotel managers will be affected by factors beyond their control, such as changes in the level of demand for rooms and related services of the hotels, their ability to maintain and increase gross revenues and operating margins at the hotels and other factors. Therefore, any operating difficulties or other factors affecting the hotel managers’ ability to maintain and increase gross revenues and operating margins at the hotels could significantly adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

The expanding use of internet travel websites by customers can adversely affect our profitability.

 

The increasing use of internet travel intermediaries by consumers may cause us to experience fluctuations in our operating performance and otherwise adversely affect our profitability and cash flows. Our property managers will likely rely upon Internet travel intermediaries such as Travelocity.com, Expedia.com, Orbitz.com, Hotels.com and Priceline.com to generate demand for our hotel properties. As Internet bookings increase, these intermediaries may be able to obtain higher commissions, reduced room rates or other significant contract concessions from our property managers. Moreover, some of these Internet travel intermediaries are attempting to offer hotel rooms as a commodity, by increasing the importance of price and general indicators of quality (such as “three-star downtown hotel”) at the expense of brand identification. Consumers may eventually develop brand loyalties to their reservations system rather than the premier-brand, select-service hotel properties we intend to primarily invest in, which could have an adverse effect on our business because we will rely heavily on brand identification. If the amount of sales made through Internet intermediaries increases significantly and our property managers fail to appropriately price room inventory in a manner that maximizes the opportunity for enhanced profit margins, room revenues may flatten or decrease and our profitability may be adversely affected.

 

30
 

 

Our profitability may be adversely affected by unstable market and business conditions and insufficient demand for lodging due to reduced business and leisure travel.

 

Any hotel properties that we may acquire will be subject to all the risks common to the hotel industry and subject to market conditions that affect all hotel properties. These risks could adversely affect hotel occupancy and the rates that can be charged for hotel rooms as well as hotel operating expenses, and generally include: increases in supply of hotel rooms that exceed increases in demand; increases in energy costs and other travel expenses that reduce business and leisure travel; reduced business and leisure travel due to continued geo-political uncertainty, including terrorism; adverse effects of declines in general and local economic activity; and adverse effects of a downturn in the hotel industry

 

Competition in the hospitality industry and with third parties in acquiring properties may reduce our profitability and the return on your investment.

 

The hospitality industry is generally characterized as being intensely competitive. Any hotel in which we invest will compete with existing and new hotels in their geographic markets, including with independent hotels, hotels which are part of local or regional chains and hotels in other well-known national chains, including those offering different types of accommodations and services. The principal competitive factors that will affect the hotel properties in which we will seek to invest include, but are not limited to, brand recognition, location, range of services and guest amenities and the quality and price of the hotel rooms and services provided. Any one of the foregoing could impact our profitability and ability to pay distributions.

 

We expect to face significant competition for attractive hotel investment opportunities from other major real estate investors with significant capital, including both publicly traded REITs and private institutional investment funds. Because of competition from other well-capitalized real estate investors, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to acquire desired hotel properties. Where it is possible to acquire desired hotel properties, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to do so on favorable terms or that such properties will meet our return expectations or conform to our investment criteria. The competition to acquire attractive hotel investment opportunities could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and ability to pay distributions.

 

The hospitality industry is subject to unique, unforeseeable risks that may negatively impact our business and the value of your investment.

 

The hospitality industry is subject to unique, unforeseeable risks, such as natural disasters, pandemics and threats of pandemics, acts of terror and other catastrophes. We have no control over events of this type and they could have a substantial impact on the hospitality industry and our business if we decide to invest in additional hotel properties. Because we are unable to control the timing, duration or magnitude of these unforeseen events, the negative impact upon our business could be great.

 

Risks Associated with Real Estate Securities and Debt-Related Investments

 

Disruptions in the financial markets and deteriorating economic conditions could adversely impact the commercial mortgage market as well as the market for debt-related investments generally, which could hinder our ability to implement our business strategy and generate returns for our stockholders.

 

As part of our investment strategy, we may acquire real estate-related loans, real estate-related debt securities and other real estate-related investments in the hospitality sector. The returns available to investors on these investments are determined by: (1) the supply and demand for such investments and (2) the existence of a market for such investments, which includes the ability to sell or finance such investments. During periods of volatility, the number of investors participating in the market may change at an accelerated pace. As liquidity or “demand” increases, the returns available to investors will decrease. Conversely, a lack of liquidity will cause the returns available to investors to increase. Recently, concerns pertaining to the deterioration of credit in the residential mortgage market have expanded to almost all areas of the debt capital markets including corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and commercial real estate mortgages and loans. Continued or future instability may interfere with the successful implementation of our business strategy.

 

If we make or invest in mortgage loans, our mortgage loans may be affected by unfavorable real estate market conditions, which could decrease the value of those loans and the return on your investment.

 

If we make or invest in mortgage loans, we will be at risk of defaults by the borrowers on those mortgage loans. These defaults may be caused by many conditions beyond our control, including interest rate levels and local and other economic conditions affecting real estate values. We will not know whether the values of the properties securing our mortgage loans will remain at the levels existing on the dates of origination of those mortgage loans. If the values of the underlying properties drop, our risk will increase because of the lower value of the security associated with such loans.

 

31
 

 

To the extent we make or invest in mortgage loans, our mortgage loans will be subject to interest rate fluctuations that could reduce our returns as compared to market interest rates and reduce the value of the mortgage loans in the event we sell them; accordingly, the value of your investment would be subject to fluctuations in interest rates.

 

To the extent we invest in fixed-rate, long-term mortgage loans and market interest rates rise, the mortgage loans could yield a return that is lower than then-current market rates, which would lower the proceeds we would receive in the event we sell such assets. If market interest rates decrease, we will be adversely affected to the extent that mortgage loans are prepaid because we may not be able to make new loans at the higher interest rate. To the extent we invest in variable-rate loans and interest rates decrease, our revenues will also decrease. Finally, to the extent we invest in variable-rate loans and interest rates increase, the value of the loans we own at such time would decrease, which would lower the proceeds we would receive in the event we sell such assets. For these reasons, if we invest in mortgage loans, our returns on those loans and the value of your investment will be subject to fluctuations in market interest rates.

 

The CMBS and CDOs in which we may invest are subject to several types of risks.

 

Commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, are bonds which evidence interests in, or are secured by, a single commercial mortgage loan or a pool of commercial mortgage loans. Collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs, are a type of debt obligation that are backed by commercial real estate assets, such as CMBS, commercial mortgage loans, B-notes, or mezzanine paper. Accordingly, the mortgage backed securities we may invest in are subject to all the risks of the underlying mortgage loans.

 

In a rising interest rate environment, the value of CMBS and CDOs may be adversely affected when payments on underlying mortgages do not occur as anticipated, resulting in the extension of the security’s effective maturity and the related increase in interest rate sensitivity of a longer-term instrument. The value of CMBS and CDOs may also change due to shifts in the market’s perception of issuers and regulatory or tax changes adversely affecting the mortgage securities markets as a whole. In addition, CMBS and CDOs are subject to the credit risk associated with the performance of the underlying mortgage properties. In certain instances, third-party guarantees or other forms of credit support can reduce the credit risk.

 

CMBS and CDOs are also subject to several risks created through the securitization process. Subordinate CMBS and CDOs are paid interest only to the extent that there are funds available to make payments. To the extent the collateral pool includes a large percentage of delinquent loans, there is a risk that interest payment on subordinate CMBS and CDOs will not be fully paid. Subordinate securities of CMBS and CDOs are also subject to greater credit risk than those CMBS and CDOs that are more highly rated.

 

The mezzanine loans in which we may invest would involve greater risks of loss than senior loans secured by income-producing real properties.

 

We may invest in mezzanine loans that take the form of subordinated loans secured by second mortgages on the underlying real property or loans secured by a pledge of the ownership interests of the entity owning the real property, the entity that owns the interest in the entity owning the real property or other assets. These types of investments involve a higher degree of risk than long-term senior mortgage lending secured by income-producing real property because the investment may become unsecured as a result of foreclosure by the senior lender. In the event of a bankruptcy of the entity providing the pledge of its ownership interests as security, we may not have full recourse to the assets of such entity, or the assets of the entity may not be sufficient to satisfy our mezzanine loan. If a borrower defaults on our mezzanine loan or debt senior to our loan, or in the event of a borrower bankruptcy, our mezzanine loan will be satisfied only after the senior debt. As a result, we may not recover some or all of our investment. In addition, mezzanine loans may have higher loan-to-value ratios than conventional mortgage loans, resulting in less equity in the real property and increasing the risk of loss of principal.

 

32
 

 

RISK ASSOCIATED WITH DEBT FINANCING

 

We will incur mortgage indebtedness and other borrowings, which may increase our business risks, could hinder our ability to make distributions and could decrease the value of your investment.

 

We intend to finance a portion of the purchase price of our hotel investment properties by borrowing funds. Under our charter, we are prohibited from borrowing in excess of 300% of the value of our net assets. “Net assets” for purposes of this calculation is defined to be our total assets (other than intangibles), valued at cost prior to deducting depreciation, reserves for bad debts or other non-cash reserves, less total liabilities. Generally speaking, the preceding calculation is expected to approximate 75% of the aggregate cost of our real estate assets before non-cash reserves and depreciation. We may temporarily borrow in excess of these amounts if such excess is approved by a majority of the independent directions and is disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report, along with justification for such excess. In addition, we may incur mortgage debt and pledge some or all of our real estate assets as security for that debt to obtain funds to acquire additional real estate assets or for working capital. We may also borrow funds as necessary or advisable to ensure we maintain our REIT tax qualification, including the requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to our stockholders (computed without regard to the distribution paid deduction and excluding net capital gains). Furthermore, we may borrow if we otherwise deem it necessary or advisable to ensure that we maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain such borrowings on satisfactory terms.

 

High debt levels will cause us to incur higher interest charges, which would result in higher debt service payments and could be accompanied by restrictive covenants. If there is a shortfall between the cash flow from a property and the cash flow needed to service mortgage debt on that property, then the amount available for distributions to stockholders may be reduced. In addition, incurring mortgage debt increases the risk of loss since defaults on indebtedness secured by a property may result in lenders initiating foreclosure actions. In that case, we could lose the property securing the loan that is in default, thus reducing the value of your investment. For tax purposes, a foreclosure on any of our properties will be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we will recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but we would not receive any cash proceeds. If any mortgage contains cross collateralization or cross default provisions, a default on a single property could affect multiple properties. If any of our properties are foreclosed upon due to a default, our ability to pay cash distributions to our stockholders will be adversely affected.

 

Instability in the debt markets and our inability to find financing on attractive terms may make it more difficult for us to finance or refinance properties, which could reduce the number of properties we can acquire and the amount of cash distributions we can make to our stockholders.

 

If mortgage debt is unavailable on reasonable terms as a result of increased interest rates, underwriting standards, capital market instability or other factors, we may not be able to finance the initial purchase of properties. In addition, if we place mortgage debt on properties, we run the risk of being unable to refinance such debt when the loans come due, or of being unable to refinance on favorable terms. If interest rates are higher when we refinance debt, our income could be reduced. We may be unable to refinance debt at appropriate times, which may require us to sell properties on terms that are not advantageous to us, or could result in the foreclosure of such properties. If any of these events occur, our cash flow would be reduced. This, in turn, would reduce cash available for distribution to our stockholders and may hinder our ability to raise more capital by issuing securities or by borrowing more money.

 

Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and negatively impact our operating results.

 

Interest we pay on our debt obligations will reduce cash available for distributions. If we incur variable rate debt, increases in interest rates would increase our interest costs, which would reduce our cash flows and our ability to make distributions to you. If we need to repay existing debt during periods of rising interest rates, we could be required to liquidate one or more of our investments at times which may not permit realization of the maximum return on such investments.

 

Lenders may require us to enter into restrictive covenants relating to our operations, which could limit our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

 

When providing financing, a lender may impose restrictions on us that affect our distribution and operating policies and our ability to incur additional debt. Loan documents we enter into may contain covenants that limit our ability to further mortgage a property, discontinue insurance coverage, or replace Moody National Advisor II, LLC as our advisor. In addition, loan documents may limit our ability to replace a property’s property manager or terminate certain operating or lease agreements related to a property. These or other limitations may adversely affect our flexibility and our ability to achieve our investment objectives.

 

Our derivative financial instruments that we may use to hedge against interest rate fluctuations may not be successful in mitigating our risks associated with interest rates and could reduce the overall returns on your investment.

 

We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our real estate assets, but no hedging strategy can protect us completely. We cannot assure you that our hedging strategy and the derivatives that we use will adequately offset the risk of interest rate volatility or that our hedging transactions will not result in losses. In addition, the use of such instruments may reduce the overall return on our investments. These instruments may also generate income that may not be treated as qualifying REIT income for purposes of the 75% or 95% REIT income test.

 

33
 

 

FEDERAL INCOME TAX RISKS

 

Failure to qualify as a REIT could adversely affect our operations and our ability to make distributions.

 

We intend to operate in a manner designed to permit us to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with the taxable year ending December 31 in which we satisfy the minimum offering requirements and issue shares of our common stock to investors.

 

Our qualification as a REIT will depend on our ongoing satisfaction of numerous requirements established under highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations and involve the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control. The complexity of these provisions and of the applicable income tax regulations that have been promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code is greater in the case of a REIT that holds its assets through a partnership, as we do. Moreover, no assurance can be given that legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not change the tax laws with respect to qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of that qualification.

 

If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, we would be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at corporate rates. In addition, we would generally be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in which we fail to qualify as a REIT. Losing our REIT status would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to stockholders because of the additional tax liability. In addition, distributions to stockholders would no longer be deductible in computing our taxable income, and we would no longer be required to make distributions. To the extent that distributions had been made in anticipation of our qualifying as a REIT, we might be required to borrow funds or liquidate some investments to pay the applicable corporate income tax. In addition, although we intend to operate in a manner intended to qualify as a REIT, it is possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause our board of directors to recommend that we revoke our REIT election.

 

We believe that our operating partnership will be treated for federal income tax purposes as a partnership and not as an association or as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. If the Internal Revenue Service were successfully to determine that our operating partnership should properly be treated as a corporation, our operating partnership would be required to pay federal income tax at corporate rates on its net income. In addition, we would fail to qualify as a REIT, with the resulting consequences described above.

 

To qualify as a REIT we must meet annual distribution requirements, which may result in us distributing amounts that may otherwise be used for our operations.

 

To qualify as a REIT, we will be required each year to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our real estate investment trust taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains. We will be subject to federal income tax on any undistributed taxable income and to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on any amount by which distributions we pay with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (1) 85% of our ordinary income, (2) 95% of our capital gain net income and (3) 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. These requirements could cause us to distribute amounts that otherwise would be spent on investments in real estate assets, and it is possible that we might be required to borrow funds or sell assets to fund these distributions. If we fund distributions through borrowings, then we will have to repay debt using money we could have otherwise used to acquire properties. If we sell assets or use offering proceeds to pay distributions, we also will have fewer investments. Fewer investments may impact our ability to generate future cash flows from operations and, therefore, reduce your overall return. Although we intend to make distributions sufficient to meet the annual distribution requirements and to avoid corporate income and excise taxes, it is possible that we might not always be able to do so.

 

The use of TRSs will increase our overall tax liability.

 

Our TRS lessees and any other of our domestic taxable REIT subsidiaries will be subject to federal and state income tax on their taxable income. Accordingly, although our ownership of TRS lessees allows us to participate in the operating income from hotel properties in addition to receiving rent, that operating income is fully subject to income tax. Such taxes could be substantial.

 

We will incur a 100% excise tax on transactions with our TRS lessees or other taxable REIT subsidiaries that are not conducted on an arm’s length basis. For example, to the extent that the rent paid by one of our TRS lessees exceeds an arm’s length rental amount, such excess may be subject to the excise tax. We intend that all transactions between us and our TRS lessees will be conducted on an arm’s length basis and, therefore, that the rent paid by our TRS lessees to us will not be subject to the excise tax.

 

34
 

 

If the leases of our hotels to the TRS lessees are not respected as true leases for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we will fail to qualify as a REIT.

 

To qualify as a REIT, we must annually satisfy two gross income tests, under which specified percentages of our gross income must be derived from certain sources, such as “rents from real property.” Rents paid to our operating partnership by TRS lessees pursuant to the leases of our hotels will constitute substantially all of our gross income. In order for such rent to qualify as “rents from real property” for purposes of the gross income tests, the leases must be respected as true leases for U.S. federal income tax purposes and not be treated as service contracts, financing arrangements, joint ventures or some other type of arrangement. If our leases are not respected as true leases for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we will fail to qualify as a REIT.

 

If any hotel managers that we may engage do not qualify as “eligible independent contractors,” or if our hotels are not “qualified lodging facilities,” we will fail to qualify as a REIT.

 

Rent paid by a lessee that is a “related party tenant” of ours generally will not be qualifying income for purposes of the two gross income tests applicable to REITs, but an exception is provided, however, for leases of “qualified lodging facilities” to a TRS so long as the hotels are managed by an “eligible independent contractor” and certain other requirements are satisfied. We expect to lease all or substantially all of our hotels to TRS lessees, which are disregarded subsidiaries of corporations that are intended to qualify as TRSs. We expect that the TRS lessees will engage hotel managers, including our affiliated property manager and third-party property managers that are intended to qualify as “eligible independent contractors.” Among other requirements, in order to qualify as an eligible independent contractor, the hotel manager must not own, directly or through its equity owners, more than 35% of our outstanding stock, and no person or group of persons can own more than 35% of our outstanding stock and the equity interests of the hotel manager, taking into account certain ownership attribution rules. The ownership attribution rules that apply for purposes of these 35% thresholds are complex, and monitoring actual and constructive ownership of our stock by our hotel managers and their owners may not be practical. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that these ownership levels will not be exceeded.

 

In addition, for a hotel management company to qualify as an eligible independent contractor, such company or a related person must be actively engaged in the trade or business of operating “qualified lodging facilities” (as defined below) for one or more persons not related to the REIT or its TRSs at each time that such company enters into a hotel management contract with a TRS or its TRS lessee. No assurances can be provided that any hotel managers that we may engage will in fact comply with this requirement in the future. Failure to comply with this requirement would require us to find other managers for future contracts, and if we hired a management company without knowledge of the failure, it could jeopardize our status as a REIT.

 

Finally, each property that we lease to our TRS lessees must be a “qualified lodging facility.” A “qualified lodging facility” is a hotel, motel, or other establishment more than one-half of the dwelling units in which are used on a transient basis, including customary amenities and facilities, provided that no wagering activities are conducted at or in connection with such facility by any person who is engaged in the business of accepting wagers and who is legally authorized to engage in such business at or in connection with such facility. The REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code provide only limited guidance for making determinations under the requirements for qualified lodging facilities, and there can be no assurance that these requirements will be satisfied.

 

Recharacterization of sale-leaseback transactions may cause us to lose our REIT status.

 

We may purchase real properties and lease them back to the sellers of such properties. We cannot guarantee that the Internal Revenue Service will not challenge our characterization of any sale-leaseback transactions. In the event that any such sale-leaseback transaction is challenged and recharacterized as a financing transaction or loan for federal income tax purposes, deductions for depreciation and cost recovery relating to such property would be disallowed. If a sale-leaseback transaction were so recharacterized, we might fail to satisfy the REIT qualification “asset tests” or the “income tests” and, consequently, lose our REIT status. Alternatively, the amount of our REIT taxable income could be recalculated which might also cause us to fail to meet the distribution requirement for a taxable year.

 

You may have current tax liability on distributions if you elect to reinvest in shares of our common stock.

 

If you participate in our distribution reinvestment plan, you will be deemed to have received a cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the stock received pursuant to the plan, which will be taxed as a dividend to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits. As a result, unless you are a tax-exempt entity, you may have to use funds from other sources to pay your tax liability on the value of the common stock received.

 

35
 

 

Sales of our properties at gains are potentially subject to the prohibited transaction tax, which could reduce the return on your investment.

 

Our ability to dispose of property is restricted as a result of our REIT status. Under applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code regarding prohibited transactions by REITs, we will be subject to a 100% tax on any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of any property (other than foreclosure property) we own, directly or through a subsidiary entity, including our operating partnership, but excluding our taxable REIT subsidiaries, that is deemed to be inventory or property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of trade or business. Whether property is inventory or otherwise held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business depends on the particular facts and circumstances surrounding each property. We intend to avoid the 100% prohibited transaction tax by (1) conducting activities that may otherwise be considered prohibited transactions through a taxable REIT subsidiary, (2) conducting our operations in such a manner so that no sale or other disposition of an asset we own, directly or through any subsidiary other than a taxable REIT subsidiary, will be treated as a prohibited transaction, or (3) structuring certain dispositions of our properties to comply with certain safe harbors available under the Internal Revenue Code for properties held at least two years. However, no assurance can be given that any particular property will not be treated as inventory or property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business.

 

In certain circumstances, we may be subject to federal and state taxes as a REIT, which would reduce our cash available for distribution to you.

 

Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to federal and state taxes. For example, net income from a “prohibited transaction” will be subject to a 100% tax. We may not be able to make sufficient distributions to avoid excise taxes applicable to REITs. We may also decide to retain income we earn from the sale or other disposition of our real estate assets and pay income tax directly on such income. We may also be subject to state and local taxes on our income or property, either directly or at the level of the companies through which we indirectly own our assets. In addition, our TRSs will be subject to federal income tax and applicable state and local taxes on their net income. Any federal or state taxes we pay will reduce our cash available for distribution to you.

 

Distributions to tax-exempt investors may be classified as unrelated business taxable income.

 

Neither ordinary nor capital gain distributions with respect to our common stock nor gain from the sale of common stock should generally constitute unrelated business taxable income to a tax-exempt investor. However, there are certain exceptions to this rule. In particular:

 

part of the income and gain recognized by certain qualified pension trusts with respect to our common stock may be treated as unrelated business taxable income if shares of our common stock are predominately held by qualified employee pension trusts, and we are required to rely on a special look-through rule for purposes of meeting one of the REIT share ownership tests, and we are not operated in a manner to avoid treatment of such income or gain as unrelated business taxable income;

 

part of the income and gain recognized by a tax-exempt investor with respect to our common stock would constitute unrelated business taxable income if the investor incurs debt to acquire the common stock; and

 

part or all of the income or gain recognized with respect to our common stock by social clubs, voluntary employee benefit associations, supplemental unemployment benefit trusts and qualified group legal services plans which are exempt from federal income taxation under Sections 501(c)(7), (9), (17), or (20) of the Internal Revenue Code may be treated as unrelated business taxable income.

 

Complying with the REIT requirements may cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities.

 

To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, the nature and diversification of our assets, the amounts we distribute to our stockholders and the ownership of shares of our common stock. We may be required to make distributions to stockholders at disadvantageous times or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits.

 

Complying with the REIT requirements may force us to liquidate otherwise attractive investments.

 

To qualify as a REIT, we must ensure that at the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash items, government securities and qualified real estate assets, including shares of stock in other REITs and certain mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. The remainder of our investment in securities (other than government securities and qualified real estate assets) generally cannot include more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or more than 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer. In addition, in general, no more than 5% of the value of our assets (other than government securities and qualified real estate assets) can consist of the securities of any one issuer and no more than 25% of the value of our total securities can be represented by securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries. If we fail to comply with these requirements at the end of any calendar quarter, we must correct such failure within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter to avoid losing our REIT status and suffering adverse tax consequences. As a result, we may be required to liquidate otherwise attractive investments.

 

36
 

 

Liquidation of assets may jeopardize our REIT status.

 

To qualify as a REIT, we must comply with requirements regarding our assets and our sources of income. If we are compelled to liquidate any investments we make to satisfy our obligations to our lenders, we may be unable to comply with these requirements, ultimately jeopardizing our status as a REIT, or we may be subject to a 100% tax on any resultant gain if we sell assets that are treated as dealer property or inventory.

 

Legislative or regulatory action could adversely affect investors.

 

In recent years, numerous legislative, judicial and administrative changes have been made to the federal income tax laws applicable to REITs. Additional changes to tax laws are likely to continue to occur in the future, and we cannot assure you that any such changes will not adversely affect us or the taxation of our stockholders. Any such changes could have an adverse effect on an investment in shares of our common stock. We urge you to consult with your own tax advisor with respect to the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in shares of our common stock.

 

The failure of a mezzanine loan to qualify as a real estate asset could adversely affect our ability to qualify as a REIT.

 

We may acquire mezzanine loans. If a mezzanine loan satisfies an Internal Revenue Service safe harbor in Revenue Procedure 2003-65, the mezzanine loan will be treated as a real estate asset for purposes of the REIT asset tests and interest derived from the mezzanine loan will be treated as qualifying mortgage interest for purposes of the REIT 75% gross income test. Although the Revenue Procedure provides a safe harbor on which taxpayers may rely, it does not prescribe rules of substantive tax law. We intend to make investments that comply with the various requirements applicable to our qualification as a REIT. We may, however, acquire mezzanine loans that do not meet all of the requirements of this safe harbor. In the event we own a mezzanine loan that does not meet the safe harbor, the Internal Revenue Service could challenge such loan’s treatment as a real estate asset for purposes of the REIT asset tests and could challenge treatment of interest on such loan as qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test, and, if such a challenge were sustained, we could fail to qualify as a REIT.

 

The use of TRSs will increase our overall tax liability.

 

Our domestic TRSs will be subject to federal and state income tax on their taxable income. Accordingly, although our ownership of TRS lessees allows us to participate in the operating income from any hotel properties that may be acquired in addition to receiving rent, that operating income is fully subject to income tax. Such taxes could be substantial.

 

Non-U.S. investors may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the sale of shares of our common stock if we are unable to qualify as a “domestically controlled” REIT.

 

A non-U.S. person disposing of a U.S. real property interest, including shares of a U.S. corporation whose assets consist principally of U.S. real property interests, is generally subject to U.S. federal income tax on the gain recognized on such disposition. A non-U.S. stockholder generally would not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, however, on gain from the disposition of stock in a REIT if the REIT is a “domestically controlled REIT.” A domestically controlled REIT is a REIT in which, at all times during a specified testing period, less than 50% in value of its shares is held directly or indirectly by non-U.S. holders. We cannot assure you that we will qualify as a domestically controlled REIT. If we were to fail to so qualify, gain realized by a non-U.S. investor on a sale of our common stock would be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless our common stock was traded on an established securities market and the non-U.S. investor did not at any time during a specified testing period directly or indirectly own more than 5% of the value of our outstanding common stock.

 

If we were considered to actually or constructively pay a “preferential dividend” to certain of our stockholders, our status as a REIT could be adversely affected.

 

In order to qualify as a REIT, we must distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gain and determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid). In order for distributions to be counted as satisfying the annual distribution requirements for REITs, and to provide us with a REIT-level tax deduction, the distributions must not be “preferential dividends.” A dividend is not a preferential dividend if the distribution is pro rata among all outstanding shares of stock within a particular class, and in accordance with the preferences among different classes of stock as set forth in our organizational documents. If the IRS were to take the position that we paid a preferential dividend, we may be deemed to have failed the 90% distribution test, and our status as a REIT could be terminated if we were unable to cure such failure.

RETIREMENT PLAN RISKS

 

There are special considerations for pension or profit-sharing or 401(k) plans, health or welfare plans or individual retirement accounts whose assets are being invested in our common stock due to requirements under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and the Internal Revenue Code. Furthermore, a person acting on behalf of a plan not subject to ERISA may be subject to similar penalties under applicable federal, state, local, or non-U.S. law by reason of purchasing our stock.

 

If you are investing the assets of a pension, profit sharing or 401(k) plan, health or welfare plan, or an IRA, or other plan or arrangement subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code in us, you should consider:

 

whether your investment is consistent with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code;

 

whether your investment is made in accordance with the documents and instruments governing your plan, IRA, or other arrangement, including the investment policy;

 

whether your investment satisfies the prudence, diversification, and other applicable fiduciary requirements in Section 404(a) of ERISA;

 

whether your investment will impair the liquidity of the plan, IRA, or other arrangement;

 

whether your investment will produce unrelated business taxable income, referred to as UBTI and as defined in Sections 511 through 514 of the Internal Revenue Code, to the plan; and

 

your need to value the assets of the plan annually.

 

You should consider whether your investment in us will cause some or all of our assets to be considered assets of an employee benefit plan, IRA, or other arrangement. We do not believe that under ERISA and U.S. Department of Labor regulations currently in effect that our assets would be treated as “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA, although there can be no assurances. However, if our assets were considered to be plan assets, transactions involving our assets would be subject to ERISA and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code and some of the transactions we have entered into with our advisor and its affiliates could be considered “prohibited transactions,” under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code. If such transactions were considered “prohibited transactions,” our advisor and its affiliates could be subject to liabilities and excise taxes or penalties. In addition, our officers and directors, our advisor and its affiliates could be deemed to be fiduciaries under ERISA, subject to other conditions, restrictions and prohibitions under Part 4 of Title I of ERISA and those serving as fiduciaries of plans investing in us may be considered to have improperly delegated fiduciary duties to us. Additionally, other transactions with “parties-in-interest” or “disqualified persons” with respect to an investing plan might be prohibited under ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code or other governing authority in the case of a government plan. Therefore, we would be operating under a burdensome regulatory regime that could limit or restrict investments we can make or our management of our real estate assets. Even if our assets are not considered to be plan assets, a prohibited transaction could occur if we or any of our affiliates is a fiduciary (within the meaning of ERISA) with respect to an employee benefit plan purchasing shares and, therefore, in the event any such persons are fiduciaries (within the meaning of ERISA) of your plan or IRA, you should not purchase shares unless an administrative or statutory exemption applies to your purchase. For a discussion of the considerations associated with an investment in our shares by an employee benefit plan or an IRA, see “ERISA Considerations.”

 

Failure to satisfy the fiduciary standards of conduct and other requirements of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code, or other applicable statutory or common law may result in the imposition of civil (and criminal, if the violation was willful) penalties, and can subject the fiduciary to equitable remedies and/or damages. In addition, if an investment in our common stock constitutes a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code, the fiduciary that authorized or directed the investment may be subject to the imposition of excise taxes with respect to the amount invested. Furthermore, to the extent that the assets of a plan or arrangement not subject to the fiduciary provisions of ERISA (for example, governmental plans, non-electing church plans, and foreign plans) will be used to purchase our stock, such plans should consider the impact of applicable federal, state, local, or non-U.S. law on the decision to make such purchase.

ESTIMATED USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The table below presents information regarding our intended use of the gross and net proceeds from our primary offering and our distribution reinvestment plan. The table assumes we sell (1) the minimum of $2,000,000 in shares of our common stock pursuant to the primary offering and no shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, (2) the maximum of $1,000,000,000 in shares of our common stock pursuant to the primary offering and no shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan and (3) the maximum of $1,000,000,000 in shares of our common stock pursuant to the primary offering and $100,000,000 in shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. We reserve the right to reallocate the shares of common stock we are offering between the primary offering and the distribution reinvestment plan. The actual use of the capital we raise is likely to be different than the figures presented in the table because we may not raise the entire amounts set forth in the table. Raising less than the full $1,000,000,000 in the primary offering or the full $100,000,000 pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan will alter the amounts of commissions, fees and expenses set forth below.

 

Shares of our common stock are being offered in our primary offering to the public at a price of $25.00 per share. During the offering, shares sold under our distribution reinvestment plan are being sold for $23.75 per share. Our board of directors may, from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion, change the price at which we offer shares to the public in the primary offering or pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan to reflect changes in our estimated value per share, changes in applicable law and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. If we determine to change the price at which we offer shares, we do not anticipate that we will do so more frequently than quarterly.

 

The amounts in the table below assume that the full fees and commissions are paid on all shares of our common stock offered to the public in the primary offering. The sales commission and, in some cases, all or a portion of our dealer manager fee, may be reduced or eliminated in connection with certain categories of sales, such as sales for which a volume discount applies, sales through investment advisors or banks acting as trustees or fiduciaries and sales to our affiliates. The reduction in these fees will be accompanied by a corresponding reduction in the per share purchase price but will not affect the amounts available to us for investments. After paying the sales commission, the dealer manager fee and our organizational and offering expenses, we will use the net proceeds of the offering to invest in hospitality real estate assets and to pay the fees set forth in the tables below. Because amounts in the following tables are estimates, they may not accurately reflect the actual receipt or use of the offering proceeds.

 

Generally, our policy is to pay distributions from cash flow from operations. However, our board of directors has the authority under our organizational documents, to the extent permitted by Maryland law, to fund distributions from sources such as borrowings, offering proceeds or the deferral of fees and expense reimbursements by our advisor in its sole discretion. Because this is a blind pool offering, it is likely that distributions paid during the early stages of our offering and before we have acquired a substantial portfolio of real estate assets will be funded primarily from offering proceeds. We have not established a limit on the amount of proceeds we may use from this offering to fund distributions.

 

   Minimum Primary Offering   Maximum Primary Offering   Maximum Primary Offering and Distribution Reinvestment Plan

(1)Includes all expenses (other than sales commissions and the dealer manager fee) to be paid by us in connection with the offering, including our legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees, charges of our transfer agent, charges of our advisor for administrative services related to the issuance of shares of our common stock in the offering, reimbursing the dealer manager for amounts it may pay to reimburse the bona fide due diligence expenses of broker-dealers supported by detailed itemized invoices, amounts to reimburse our advisor for the salaries of its employees and other costs in connection with preparing supplemental sales materials, the cost of educational conferences held by us and attendance fees and cost reimbursement for employees of our affiliates to attend retail seminars conducted by broker-dealers. Our advisor has agreed to reimburse us to the extent sales commissions, the dealer manager fee and other organization and offering expenses incurred by us exceed 15% of aggregate gross offering proceeds. We expect that our organization and offering expenses will represent a lower percentage of the gross offering proceeds as the amount of proceeds we raise in the offering increases. In the table above, we have assumed organization and offering expenses will constitute approximately 5.0% of gross proceeds from our primary offering if we raise the minimum offering amount and that organization and offering expenses will constitute approximately 2.0% of gross proceeds from our primary offering if we raise the maximum offering amount.

 

40
 

 

(2)Until required in connection with the acquisition and development of hospitality real estate assets, substantially all of the net offering proceeds may be invested in short-term, highly liquid investments, including, but not limited to, government obligations, bank certificates of deposit, short-term debt obligations, interest-bearing accounts and other authorized investments as determined by our board of directors.

 

(3) This table excludes debt proceeds. To the extent we fund real estate asset acquisitions with debt, as we expect, the amount available for investment and the amount of acquisition fees will be proportionately greater. Acquisition fees are defined generally as fees and commissions paid by any party to any person in connection with identifying, reviewing, evaluating, investing in and the purchase of properties. We pay to our advisor acquisition fees up to a maximum amount of 1.5% of the contract purchase price of each property acquired (including our pro rata share of any indebtedness assumed or incurred in respect of that investment and exclusive of acquisition fees and financing coordination fees) and up to 1.5% of the amount advanced for a loan or other investment (including our pro rata share of debt attributable to such investment). This acquisition fee does not include any acquisition expenses payable to our advisor. In addition to the acquisition fee, we may also incur customary third-party acquisition expenses in connection with the acquisition (or attempted acquisition) of a real estate asset. Once the proceeds from this offering have been fully invested, the aggregate amount of acquisition fees and financing coordination fees shall not exceed 1.9% of the contract purchase price and the amount advanced for a loan or other investment, as applicable, for all of the assets acquired.

 

(4)Amounts available for investments include customary third-party acquisition expenses that are included in the total acquisition costs of the real estate assets acquired. Third-party acquisition expenses may include legal, accounting, consulting, appraisals, engineering, due diligence, title insurance, closing costs and other expenses related to potential investments regardless of whether the asset is actually acquired. Acquisition expenses as a percentage of a real estate asset’s contract purchase price, or the amount actually paid or allocated in respect of the purchase, development, construction or improvement of a property or the amount of funds advanced with respect to a loan, or the amount actually paid or allocated in respect of the purchase of other assets, in each case exclusive of acquisition fees and acquisition expenses, vary. However, in no event will total acquisition fees (including financing coordination fees) and acquisition expenses on a real estate asset exceed 6.0% of the contract purchase price of the real estate asset. Furthermore, in no event will the total of all acquisition fees and acquisition expenses paid by us, including acquisition expenses on real properties which are not acquired, exceed 6.0% of the aggregate contract purchase price of all real estate assets acquired by us.

 

(5)We do not anticipate establishing a general working capital reserve out of the proceeds from this offering during the initial stages of the offering; however, we may establish capital reserves with respect to particular investments. We also may, but are not required to, establish reserves out of cash flow generated by our real estate assets or out of net sale proceeds in non-liquidating sale transactions.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

 

Investment Strategy

 

We expect that our portfolio will consist primarily of select-service hotel properties with premier brands, including, but not limited to, Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt, that are located in major metropolitan markets in the East Coast, West Coast and Sunbelt regions of the United States. To a lesser extent, we may also invest in other hospitality properties located within other markets and regions as well as real estate securities and debt-related investments related to the hospitality sector. Our board of directors may adjust our investment focus from time to time based upon market conditions and other factors our board of directors deem relevant.

 

In identifying investments, we rely upon a market optimization investment strategy and acquisition model that analyzes economic fundamentals and demographic trends in major metropolitan markets. By utilizing a targeted, disciplined approach, we believe that we will be able to capitalize on market inefficiencies and identify undervalued investment opportunities with underlying intrinsic value that have the potential to create greater value at disposition. Our investment strategy seeks to identify technical pressures created by demographic, business and industry changes, which we believe leads to supply and demand imbalances within certain sectors of commercial real estate.

 

Based on our internal research, we believe that presently the hospitality sector, compared to other real estate asset classes, has the greatest supply-demand imbalance, which should lead to upward pressure on room rates. In addition, we believe that hotel properties continue to trade below historical price levels, resulting in attractive purchasing opportunities at this present time. More specifically, we believe that premier-brand, select-service hotel properties in major metropolitan markets have the potential to generate attractive returns relative to other types of hotel properties due to their ability to achieve Revenue per Available Room (RevPAR) levels at or close to those achieved by traditional, full-service hotels while achieving higher profit margins due to their more efficient operating model and more predicable net operating income. In addition, our market optimization investment strategy, accounting for growth potential and risks related to asset devaluation, takes into account current supply-demand imbalances and targets markets that offer stable population growth, high barriers to entry and multiple demand generators.

 

Investment Objectives

 

Our investment objectives are to:

 

preserve, protect and return stockholders’ capital contributions;

 

pay attractive and stable cash distributions to stockholders; and

 

realize capital appreciation upon the ultimate sale of the real estate assets we acquire.

 

We cannot assure you that we will attain these objectives or that the value of our assets will not decrease. Furthermore, within the parameters of the investment objectives and policies established by our board of directors, our advisor, subject to the oversight and review of our board of directors, has substantial discretion with respect to the selection of specific investments and the purchase and sale of our assets. Our board of directors reviews our investment policies at least annually to determine whether our investment policies continue to be in the best interests of our stockholders. Each such determination and the basis therefore is set forth in the minutes of the meetings of our board of directors.

 

Primary Focus— “Select-Service” Hospitality Real Property Investments

 

We intend to invest the majority of our assets in hotel properties, as we believe this asset class provides unique opportunities for return on investment at this time. Specifically we expect the majority of our direct real property investments will consist of stabilized, income-producing select-service hotel properties with premier brands, including, but not limited to, Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt, that have been fully constructed and that have significant operating histories. Select-service hotels target business-oriented travelers by providing clean rooms with basic amenities. In contrast to lower-cost budget motels, select-service hotels provide amenities such as an exercise room, business facilities and breakfast buffets. In contrast to full-service hotels, select-service hotels typically do not have a full-service restaurant, which is relatively costly to operate.

 

To a lesser extent, we may also invest in other types of hotel properties and hospitality assets. For example, our portfolio may also include a relatively smaller proportion of “value added” investment opportunities that arise in circumstances where a hotel property may be situationally undervalued or where product repositioning, capital expenditures or improved hotel management may increase cash flows. In addition, we may also invest in “opportunistic” real properties or properties that are under development or construction, that are newly constructed or that have some level of vacancy at the time of acquisition.

 

We anticipate that the majority of our direct hotel property investments will be made in major metropolitan markets that are located in the East Coast, West Coast and Sunbelt regions of the United States. We may also selectively invest in other geographic regions, such as Canada and Mexico and potentially elsewhere on a limited basis, to the extent that opportunities exist that may help us meet our investment objectives.

 

42
 

 

When evaluating potential investments, our advisor will consider such factors as:

 

diversification benefits relative to the rest of the investments within our portfolio;

 

broad assessment of macro and microeconomic, employment and demographic data and trends;

 

regional, market and property specific supply/demand dynamics;

 

physical condition and location of the hotel property;

 

market rents and opportunity for revenue and net operating income growth;

 

opportunities for capital appreciation based on product repositioning, operating expense reductions and other factors;

 

risk characteristics of the investment compared to the potential returns and available alternative investments; and

 

additional factors considered important to meeting our investment objectives.

 

We may also invest a portion of the proceeds available for investment in unimproved land upon which improvements are to be constructed or completed. However, we may not invest more than 10.0% of the aggregate cost of the real property assets within our portfolio in unimproved land or real properties which are not expected to produce income within two years of their acquisition. Development of real properties is subject to risks relating to a builder’s ability to control construction costs or to build in conformity with plans, specifications and timetables. To the extent we invest in development properties, we intend to require a guarantee of completion at the price contracted either by an adequate completion bond or performance bond to help ensure performance by the builders of real properties that are under construction. Our advisor may rely upon the net worth of the contractor or developer or a personal guarantee accompanied by financial statements showing a substantial net worth provided by an affiliate of the person entering into the construction or development contract as an alternative to a completion bond or performance bond. Our advisor may elect to employ one or more project managers (who under some circumstances may be affiliated with our advisor or our property manager) to plan, supervise and implement the development and construction of any unimproved real properties which we may acquire. Such persons would be compensated by us.

 

We may adjust our investment focus from time to time based upon market conditions and our advisor’s views on relative value as market conditions evolve.

 

The Hospitality Industry

 

According to our research, at this time the hotel space has the greatest supply-demand imbalance among all real estate asset classes. We believe that hotel properties continue to be trading below their normal pricing, which creates buying opportunities today; while a supply-demand imbalance should create upward pressure on room rates.

 

Long-term room night demand has historically been positively correlated with gross domestic product, or GDP, growth. During the past 20 years, hotel demand growth was negative at only three points, most notably during the recent recession, which we refer to as the “Great Recession.” However, hotel demand rose steadily during periods of economic growth, especially during the late 1990’s and mid-2000’s. As a result, many industry experts project a continued increase in hotel demand.

43
 

 

The hotel industry has been in a period of under-supply since 2001, with the exception of 2008 and 2009. The current slowdown in new supply is due to both the unavailability of new financing and the downturn in hotel rates experienced during the Great Recession. New hotel projects often take several years to complete, especially in the current environment with lenders still being cautious about approving new projects. Smith Travel Research projects new hotel supply will grow at a slower pace than the 20-year average of 1.9% per year. Consequently, existing operators should experience the full benefit of the impending hotel recovery because the new supply is not projected to equal the growth in demand.

During 2009, Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR), the primary metric for gauging the performance of hotel rooms and demand for hotel rooms, decreased by approximately 16.7% as a result of the decrease in demand. By contrast, beginning in 2010, demand began to eclipse supply and has continued in the following years. According to PKF Hospitality Consulting’s 2014 projections, full-year industry room supply will increase by approximately 1.0%, while demand will increase by approximately 3.2%. As a result of this imbalance, RevPAR increases are expected for the next several years. PKF Hospitality Consulting projects RevPAR increases of 6.7%, 7.1%, and 5.0% from 2014 through 2016, respectively. Furthermore, these annual increases in RevPAR are expected to result in increased asset valuations. Thus, the combination of demand increasing faster than new supply should result in pricing power and asset appreciation for hotel investors.

 

U.S. Hotel Supply, Demand, & RevPAR Trends
RevPAR vs. Supply vs. Demand (1988 - 2015)

 

 

 

As hotel demand increases at a faster rate than new supply, the anticipated result will be pricing power. As a result, hotel property owners are expected to have the ability to increase room rates dramatically due to the under-supply of hotel rooms. As a result, hotel industry experts anticipate a rise in pricing power, increased revenues and asset appreciation during the near-term. The chart below reflects historical and projected trends in RevPAR.

 

44
 

 

 

 

Although multiple industry analysts project continued rate increases in the hospitality industry, we believe there will still be buying opportunities. While some investors purchase and sell hotel properties based on the timing of market fundamentals and therefore would be less inclined to sell into a market with rising rates and occupancies, other factors may motivate a seller. For example, we believe many hotel investors will consider selling hotel properties due to the number of 10-year loans coming due between 2014 and 2017. These loan maturities will, in many instances, create situations where owners are motivated to sell their hotels, even at discounted values, in order to pay off a maturing loan. Owners may also face pressure to return invested funds to investors within the timeframe they originally expected.

 

Improvements

 

We anticipate that property improvements required at the time of our investment in a hotel property will be funded from our offering proceeds. Maintenance of franchise licenses for our hotel properties is subject to our ability to maintain our franchisor’s operating standards and other terms and conditions. To maintain our hotel properties in accordance with these standards, it is likely that we will be required to expend substantial funds for improvements and refurbishments.

 

Hotel Property Ownership

 

We will generally hold fee title or a long-term leasehold estate in the hotel properties we acquire. We intend to acquire such interests either (1) directly through our operating partnership or through wholly owned subsidiaries of our operating partnership or (2) indirectly through investments in joint ventures, partnerships, or other co-ownership arrangements with the developers of the real properties, Moody National affiliates or other persons. In addition, we may purchase real properties and lease them back to the sellers of such real properties. While we will use our best efforts to structure any such sale-leaseback transaction in which the lease will be characterized as a “true lease” so that we will be treated as the owner of the property for federal income tax purposes, we cannot assure you that the Internal Revenue Service will not challenge such characterization. In the event that any such recharacterization were successful, deductions for depreciation and cost recovery relating to such real property would be disallowed and it is possible that under some circumstances we could fail to qualify as a REIT as a result.

 

45
 

 

We intend to lease all hotels we acquire in the future, other than pursuant to sale-leaseback transactions, to a TRS lessee. We will negotiate the terms and provisions of each future lease, considering such things as the purchase price paid for the hotel, then current economic conditions and any other factors deemed relevant at the time. We expect the leases to generally provide for each TRS lessee to pay in each calendar month the base rent plus, in each calendar quarter, percentage rent, if any.   Each TRS lessee shall be required to make (at our sole cost and expense) all capital expenditures required in connection with emergency situations, legal requirements, maintenance of the applicable franchise agreement, the performance by lessee of its obligations under the lease and other permitted additions to the leased property.

 

In determining whether to purchase a particular property, we may, in accordance with customary practices, obtain a purchase option on such property. The amount paid for a purchase option, if any, is normally surrendered if the property is not purchased and is normally credited against the purchase price if the property is purchased.

 

Joint Venture Investments

 

We may enter into joint ventures, partnerships and other co-ownership or participation arrangements with affiliated or non-affiliated third parties for the purpose of obtaining interests in hotel properties. We may also enter into joint ventures for the development or improvement of hotel properties. Joint venture investments permit us to own interests in large properties and other investments without unduly limiting the diversity of our portfolio. In determining whether to recommend a particular joint venture, our advisor will evaluate the property that the joint venture owns or is being formed to own under the same criteria used for the selection of our direct property investments.

 

Our advisor or its affiliates, including our property manager, will also evaluate the potential joint venture partner as to its financial condition, operating capabilities and integrity. We may enter into joint ventures with Moody National affiliates, but only provided that:

 

a majority of our directors, including a majority of the independent directors, approve the transaction as being fair and reasonable to us; and

 

the investment by us and such affiliate are on terms and conditions that are substantially the same as those received by the other joint venturers in such joint venture.

 

We have not established the specific terms we will require in our joint venture agreements. Instead, we will establish the terms with respect to any particular joint venture agreement on a case-by-case basis after our board of directors considers all the facts that are relevant, such as the nature and attributes of our potential joint venture partners, the proposed structure of the joint venture, the nature of the operations, the nature of the property and its operations, the liabilities and assets associated with the proposed joint venture and the size of our interest when compared to the interest owned by other partners in the venture. With respect to any joint venture we enter into, we expect to consider the following types of concerns and safeguards:

 

Our ability to manage and control the joint venture—we will consider whether we should obtain certain approval rights in joint ventures we do not control and for proposed joint ventures in which we are to share control with another entity, we will consider the procedures to address decisions in the event of an impasse.

 

Our ability to exit the joint venture—we will consider requiring buy/sell rights, redemption rights or forced liquidation rights.

 

Our ability to control transfers of interests held by other partners to the venture—we will consider requiring consent provisions, a right of first refusal and forced redemption rights in connection with transfers.

 

Any joint ventures with our affiliates will result in certain conflicts of interest.

 

Acquisition of Properties from Our Affiliates

 

We are not precluded from acquiring hotel properties, directly or through joint ventures, from our affiliates. Any such acquisitions will be approved consistent with the conflict of interest procedures described in this prospectus. Subject to this limitation, our sponsor, its affiliates and its employees (including our officers and directors) may make substantial profits in connection with any such investment and our cost to acquire the property may be in excess of the cost that we would have incurred if we had acquired the property on an arm’s-length basis from a third party. In addition, our advisor and its affiliates receive fees for such transactions including acquisition fees.

 

46
 

 

Due Diligence

 

Prior to acquiring a hotel property, our advisor or its affiliates, including our property manager, will perform a diligence review on investments we make. As part of this review, our advisor will obtain an environmental site assessment for each proposed property acquisition, which at a minimum will include a Phase I assessment. We will generally not close the purchase of any property unless we are satisfied with the environmental status of the property except under limited exceptional circumstances in which we determine that there are factors that off-set any potential environmental risk or liability. We will also generally seek to condition our obligation to close upon the delivery and verification of certain documents from the seller or developer, including, where appropriate:

 

plans and specifications;

 

environmental reports;

 

surveys;

 

evidence of marketable title subject to such liens and encumbrances as are acceptable to our advisor;

 

audited financial statements covering recent operations of real properties having operating histories; and

 

title and liability insurance policies.

 

Secondary Focus—Securities and Debt-Related Investments

 

In addition to direct investments in hotel properties, we also plan to acquire real estate securities and debt-related investments in the hospitality sector. We expect that our total investments in real estate securities and debt-related investments would be a substantially smaller proportion of our overall portfolio than our direct investments in hotel properties. However, we are not specifically limited in the number or size of our real estate securities and debt-related investments, or on the percentage of the net proceeds from this offering that we may invest in a single real estate-related security or debt-related investment. The specific number and mix of real estate securities and debt-related assets in which we invest will depend upon real estate market conditions, other circumstances existing at the time we are investing and the amount of proceeds we raise in the offering.

 

Our advisor has substantial discretion with respect to identifying and evaluating specific securities and debt-related investments. Our charter provides that we may not invest in equity securities unless a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction approve such investment as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable. Consistent with such requirements, in determining the types of real estate securities and debt-related investments to make, our advisor will evaluate the following criteria:

 

positioning the overall portfolio to achieve an optimal mix of real property, real estate securities and debt-related investments;

 

diversification benefits relative to the rest of the securities and debt-related investments within our portfolio;

 

fundamental securities analysis;

 

quality and sustainability of underlying property cash flows;

 

broad assessment of macro-economic data and regional property level supply and demand dynamics;

 

potential for delivering high current income and attractive risk-adjusted total returns; and

 

additional factors considered important to meeting our investment objectives.

 

Real Estate Securities

 

We may make equity investments in REITs and other real estate companies if a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction approve such investment as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable. We may purchase the common or preferred stock of these entities or options to acquire their stock. We may target a public company that owns commercial real estate assets when we believe its stock is trading at a discount to that company’s net asset value. We may eventually seek to acquire or gain a controlling interest in the companies that we target. We may make investments in other entities when we consider it more efficient to acquire an entity that already owns real estate assets meeting our investment objectives than to acquire such assets directly.

 

Debt-Related Investments

 

The debt-related investments in which we may invest include first and second mortgages, mezzanine and bridge loans, debt and derivative securities related to real estate, including mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), debt securities issued by real estate companies and credit default swaps. We may structure, underwrite and originate the debt products in which we invest. Our underwriting process will involve comprehensive financial, structural, operational and legal due diligence to assess the risks of investments so that we can optimize pricing and structuring. If we originate loans directly, we will be able to efficiently structure a diverse range of products. For instance, we may sell some components of the debt we originate while retaining attractive, risk-adjusted strips of the debt for ourselves. Our advisor will source our debt investments and provide loan servicing. We pay our advisor acquisition fees for loans that we make or acquire and asset management fees for the loans that we hold for investment. We may sell some loans that we originate to third parties for a profit. We expect to hold other loans for investment and in some instances to securitize these loans through a CDO structure. We intend to fund the loans we originate with proceeds from our initial public offering and from lenders.

Borrowing Policies

 

We intend to use secured and unsecured debt as a means of providing additional funds for the acquisition of real property, securities and debt-related investments. By operating on a leveraged basis, we expect that we will have more funds available for investments. This will generally allow us to make more investments than would otherwise be possible, potentially resulting in enhanced investment returns and a more diversified portfolio. However, our use of leverage increases the risk of default on loan payments and the resulting foreclosure on a particular asset. In addition, lenders may have recourse to assets other than those specifically securing the repayment of the indebtedness. When debt financing is unattractive due to high interest rates or other reasons, or when financing is otherwise unavailable on a timely basis, we may purchase certain assets for cash with the intention of obtaining debt financing at a later time.

 

Consistent with the leverage policy adopted by our board of directors, we expect that after we have invested substantially all of the proceeds of this offering, our debt financing will be approximately 75% of the aggregate costs of our investments before non-cash reserves and depreciation. Our board of directors may from time to time modify our leverage policy in light of then-current economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital, fair values of our properties, general conditions in the market for debt and equity securities, growth and acquisition opportunities or other factors. Our actual leverage may be higher or lower than our target leverage depending on a number of factors, including the availability of attractive investment and disposition opportunities, inflows and outflows of capital and increases and decreases in the value of our portfolio.

 

There is no limitation on the amount we may invest in any single improved real property. However, under our charter, we are prohibited from borrowing in excess of 300% of the value of our net assets. “Net assets” for purposes of this calculation is defined to be our total assets (other than intangibles), valued at cost prior to deducting depreciation, reserves for bad debts and other non-cash reserves, less total liabilities. The preceding calculation is generally expected to approximate 75% of the aggregate cost of our assets before non-cash reserves and depreciation. However, we may temporarily borrow in excess of these amounts if such excess is approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report, along with justification for such excess. In such event, we will review our debt levels at that time and take action to reduce any such excess as soon as practicable. We do not intend to exceed our charter’s leverage limit except in the early stages of building our portfolio when the costs of our investments are most likely to exceed our net offering proceeds.

 

Our advisor will use its best efforts to obtain financing on the most favorable terms available to us and will seek to refinance assets during the term of a loan only in limited circumstances, such as when a decline in interest rates makes it beneficial to prepay an existing loan, when an existing loan is approaching maturity or if an attractive investment becomes available and the proceeds from the refinancing can be used to purchase such investment. The benefits of any such refinancing may include increased cash flow resulting from reduced debt service requirements, an increase in distributions from proceeds of the refinancing and an increase in diversification and assets owned if all or a portion of the refinancing proceeds are reinvested.

 

Our charter restricts us from obtaining loans from any of our directors, our advisor and any of our affiliates unless such loan is approved by a majority of the directors (including a majority of the independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction as fair, competitive and commercially reasonable and no less favorable to us than comparable loans between unaffiliated parties. Our aggregate borrowings, secured and unsecured, are reviewed by our board of directors at least quarterly.

 

Disposition Policies—Real Property Investments

 

We will generally acquire hotel properties with an expectation of holding each property for an extended period. However, circumstances might arise which could result in a shortened holding period for certain properties. A property may be sold before the end of the expected holding period if:

 

there exist diversification benefits associated with disposing of the property and rebalancing our investment portfolio;

 

an opportunity has arisen to pursue a more attractive property or real estate securities or debt-related investment;

 

in the judgment of our advisor, the value of the property might decline;

 

the property was acquired as part of a portfolio acquisition and does not meet our general acquisition criteria;

 

there exists an opportunity to enhance overall investment returns by raising capital through the sale of the property; or

 

other factors that, in the judgment of our advisor, lead to a determination that the sale of the property is in our stockholders’ best interests.

 

48
 

 

The determination of whether a particular property should be sold or otherwise disposed of will be made after consideration of relevant factors, including prevailing economic conditions, with a view toward achieving maximum total investment return for the property. We cannot assure you that this objective will be realized. The selling price of a property will be based on RevPAR and ADR. In connection with our sales of properties, we may lend the purchaser all or a portion of the purchase price. In these instances, our taxable income may exceed the cash received in the sale. The terms of payment will be affected by custom in the area in which the property being sold is located and by the then-prevailing economic conditions. We may also sell properties to affiliates upon a determination by a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction that such transaction is fair and reasonable to us. While there is no minimum on the price we must receive in such transactions, our board of directors must approve such transactions as being fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions not less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties.

 

Disposition Policies—Securities and Debt-Related Investments

 

Our advisor has substantial discretion in connection with the disposition of securities and debt-related investments. In general, the holding period for our securities and debt-related investments is expected to be shorter than the holding period for our properties. The determination of whether a particular security or debt-related asset should be sold or otherwise disposed of will be made after consideration of relevant factors with a view toward achieving maximum total investment return for the asset. Relevant factors to be considered by the advisor when disposing of a securities or debt-related asset include:

 

the prevailing economic, real estate and securities market conditions;

 

the extent to which the investment has realized its expected total return;

 

portfolio rebalancing and optimization;

 

diversification benefits;

 

opportunity to pursue a more attractive real property, securities or debt-related investment;

 

liquidity benefits with respect to having sufficient funds for our share repurchase program; and

 

other factors that, in the judgment of our advisor, lead to a determination that the sale of the security or debt-related asset is in our best interests.

 

Investment Limitations

 

Our charter places numerous limitations on us with respect to the manner in which we may invest our funds. Pursuant to our charter, we will not:

 

invest in commodities or commodity futures contracts, except for futures contracts when used solely for the purpose of hedging in connection with our ordinary business of investing in real property, real estate securities and debt-related investments;

 

invest in real estate contracts of sale, otherwise known as land sale contracts, unless the contract is in recordable form and is appropriately recorded in the chain of title;

 

make or invest in individual mortgage loans unless an appraisal is obtained concerning the underlying property, except for those mortgage loans insured or guaranteed by a government or government agency. In cases where a majority of our independent directors determines and in all cases in which the transaction is with any of our directors, our sponsor, our advisor or any of their affiliates, such appraisal shall be obtained from an independent appraiser selected by the independent directors. We will maintain such appraisal in our records for at least five years and it will be available for our stockholders’ inspection and duplication. We will also obtain a mortgagee’s or owner’s title insurance policy as to the priority of the mortgage;

 

invest in indebtedness secured by a mortgage loan that is subordinate to any lien or other indebtedness of any of our directors, our sponsor, our advisor or any of our affiliates;

 

invest in equity interests of another issuer unless a majority of the directors (including a majority of independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction approves such investment as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable;

 

make or invest in mortgage loans, including construction loans, on any one real property if the aggregate amount of all mortgage loans on such real property would exceed an amount equal to 85% of the appraised value of such real property as determined by appraisal, unless substantial justification exists because of the presence of other underwriting criteria;

 

49
 

 

make investments in unimproved real property or mortgage loans on unimproved real property in excess of 10% of our total assets;

 

issue equity securities redeemable solely at the option of the holder (this limitation, however, does not limit or prohibit the operation of our share repurchase program);

 

issue debt securities in the absence of adequate cash flow to cover debt service;

 

issue options or warrants to purchase shares to our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors or any of their respective affiliates except on the same terms as the options or warrants, if any, are sold to the general public and unless the amount of the options or warrants does not exceed an amount equal to 10% of our outstanding shares on the date of grant of the warrants and options;

 

issue equity securities on a deferred payment basis or under similar arrangement;

 

engage in underwriting or the agency distribution of securities issued by others; or

 

make any investment that we believe will be inconsistent with our objectives of qualifying and remaining qualified as a REIT unless and until our board of directors determines, in its sole discretion, that REIT qualification is not in our best interests.

 

Liquidity Strategy

 

We presently intend, but are not required, to complete a transaction providing liquidity for our stockholders within three to six years from the completion of our initial public offering; however, the timing of any such event will be significantly dependent upon economic and market conditions after completion of our primary offering. Our charter does not require our board of directors to pursue a liquidity event. However, we expect that our board of directors will determine to pursue a liquidity event when it believes that then-current market conditions are favorable for a liquidity event, and that such a transaction is in the best interests of our stockholders. A liquidity event could include (1) the sale of all or substantially all of our assets either on a portfolio basis or individually followed by a liquidation, (2) a merger or another transaction approved by our board of directors in which our stockholders will receive cash or shares of a publicly traded company or (3) a listing of our shares on a national securities exchange. There can be no assurance as to when such a suitable transaction will be available.

 

Prior to our completion of a liquidity event, our share repurchase program may provide a limited opportunity for you to have your shares of common stock redeemed, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, at a price equal to or at a discount from the purchase price you paid for the shares being redeemed. For more information on our share repurchase program, see “Description of Capital Stock—Share Repurchase Program.”

 

Investment Company Act Considerations

 

We intend to conduct our operations so that neither we, nor our operating partnership nor the subsidiaries of our operating partnership are required to register as investment companies under the Investment Company Act.

 

Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer that is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer that is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of the issuer’s total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis, which we refer to as the “40% test.” Excluded from the term “investment securities,” among other things, are U.S. government securities and securities issued by majority-owned subsidiaries that are not themselves investment companies and are not relying on the exception from the definition of investment company set forth in Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.

 

We believe that we, our operating partnership and most of the subsidiaries of our operating partnership will not fall within either definition of investment company as we intend to invest primarily in real property, rather than in securities, through our operating partnership or our operating partnership’s wholly or majority-owned subsidiaries, the majority of which we expect will have at least 60% of their assets in real property. As these subsidiaries would be investing either solely or primarily in real property, they would not be within the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act. We are organized as a holding company that conducts its businesses primarily through our operating partnership, which in turn is a company conducting its business of investing in real property either directly or through its subsidiaries. Both we and our operating partnership intend to conduct our operations so that we comply with the 40% test. We will monitor our holdings to ensure continuing and ongoing compliance with this test. In addition, we believe neither we nor our operating partnership will be considered an investment company under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act because neither we nor our operating partnership will engage primarily or hold itself out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Rather, through our operating partnership or our operating partnership’s wholly owned or majority-owned subsidiaries, we and our operating partnership will be primarily engaged in the business of purchasing or otherwise acquiring real property.

 

50
 

 

Even if the value of investment securities held by a subsidiary of our operating partnership were to exceed 40% of its total assets, we expect that subsidiary to be able to rely on the exclusion from the definition of “investment company” provided by Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act, which is available for entities “primarily engaged in the business of purchasing or otherwise acquiring mortgages and other liens on, and interests in, real estate.” This exception generally requires that at least 55% of a subsidiary’s portfolio must be comprised of qualifying real estate assets and at least 80% of its portfolio must be comprised of qualifying real estate assets and real estate-related assets (and no more than 20% comprised of miscellaneous assets).

 

For purposes of the exclusion provided by Sections 3(c)(5)(C), we will classify the investments made by our subsidiaries based in large measure on no-action letters issued by the SEC staff and other SEC interpretive guidance and, in the absence of SEC guidance, on our view of what constitutes a qualifying real estate asset and a real estate-related asset. These no-action letters were issued in accordance with factual situations that may be substantially different from the factual situations we may face, and a number of these no-action letters were issued more than ten years ago. Pursuant to this guidance, and depending on the characteristics of the specific investments, certain mortgage loans, participations in mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities, mezzanine loans, joint venture investments and the equity securities of other entities may not constitute qualifying real estate assets and therefore investments in these types of assets may be limited. No assurance can be given that the SEC or its staff will concur with our classification of our assets. Future revisions to the Investment Company Act or further guidance from the SEC staff may cause us to lose our exclusion from the definition of investment company or force us to re-evaluate our portfolio and our investment strategy. Such changes may prevent us from operating our business successfully.

 

To the extent that the SEC or its staff provides more specific or different guidance regarding the treatment of assets as qualifying real estate assets or real estate-related assets, we may be required to adjust our investment strategy accordingly. Any additional guidance from the SEC or its staff could provide additional flexibility to us, or it could further inhibit our ability to pursue the investment strategy we have chosen. There can be no assurance that the laws and regulations governing the Investment Company Act status of REITs, including more specific or different guidance regarding these exclusions that may be published by the SEC or its staff, will not change in a manner that adversely affects our operations. For instance, in 2011, the SEC solicited public comment on a wide range of issues relating to Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act, including the nature of the assets that qualify for purposes of the exclusion. We cannot assure you that the SEC or its staff will not take action that results in our or our subsidiary’s failure to maintain an exception or exemption from the Investment Company Act.

 

In the event that we, or our operating partnership, were to acquire assets that could make either entity fall within one of the definitions of investment company under Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act, we believe that we would still qualify for an exclusion from the definition of “investment company” provided by Section 3(c)(6). Although the SEC staff has issued little interpretive guidance with respect to Section 3(c)(6), we believe that we and our operating partnership may rely on Section 3(c)(6) if 55% of the assets of our operating partnership consist of, and at least 55% of the income of our operating partnership is derived from, qualifying real estate investment assets owned by wholly owned or majority-owned subsidiaries of our operating partnership.

 

Finally, to remain outside the definition of an investment company or maintain compliance with exceptions from the definition of investment company, we, our operating company or our subsidiaries may be unable to sell assets we would otherwise want to sell and may need to sell assets we would otherwise wish to retain. In addition, we, our operating partnership or our subsidiaries may have to acquire additional income- or loss-generating assets that we might not otherwise have acquired or may have to forego opportunities to acquire interest in companies that we would otherwise want to acquire and that may be important to our investment strategy. If our subsidiaries fail to own a sufficient amount of qualifying real estate assets or additional qualifying real estate assets or real estate related assets to satisfy the requirements of Section 3(c)(5)(C) and cannot rely on any other exemption or exclusion under the Investment Company Act, we could be characterized as an investment company. Our advisor will continually review our investment activity to attempt to ensure that we will not be regulated as an investment company. Among other things, our advisor will attempt to monitor the proportion of our portfolio that is placed in investments in securities.

MANAGEMENT

 

Board of Directors

 

We operate under the direction of our board of directors, the members of which are accountable to us and our stockholders as fiduciaries. Our board of directors is responsible for the management and control of our affairs. Our board of directors has retained our advisor to manage our day-to-day affairs and to implement our investment strategy, subject to our board of directors’ direction, oversight and approval.

 

Prior to the commencement of this offering, we have a total of three directors, two of whom are independent of us, our advisor and our respective affiliates. To qualify as an “independent director” under our charter, a director may not, directly or indirectly (including through a member of his or her immediate family), be associated with us, our advisor, our sponsor or any of their affiliates within the last two years of becoming a director by virtue of (1) ownership of an interest in our sponsor, our advisor or any of their affiliates, other than us, (2) employment by our sponsor, our advisor or any of their affiliates, (3) service as an officer or director of our sponsor, our advisor or any of their affiliates, other than service as one of our directors, (4) performance of services, other than as a director, for us, (5) service as a director or trustee of more than three real estate investment trusts organized by our sponsor or advised by our advisor, or (6) maintenance of a material business or professional relationship with our sponsor, our advisor or any of their affiliates. We refer to our directors who are not independent as our “affiliated directors.”

 

Our charter and bylaws provide that the number of our directors may be established by a majority of our board of directors from time to time. Our charter also provides that a majority of our directors must be independent directors, that each director must have at least three years of relevant experience demonstrating the knowledge and experience required to successfully acquire and manage the type of assets being acquired by us and that at least one of the independent directors must have at least three years of relevant real estate experience. The independent directors will nominate replacements for vacancies among the independent directors.

 

Each of our directors is elected by the stockholders and serves for a term of one year and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies. Although the number of directors may be increased or decreased, a decrease will not have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director. Any director may resign at any time and may be removed with or without cause by the stockholders upon the affirmative vote of at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of directors. The notice of any special meeting called for the purpose of the proposed removal will indicate that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is to determine if the director will be removed.

 

A vacancy following the removal of a director or a vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors or the death, resignation, adjudicated incompetence or other incapacity of a director may be filled only by a vote of a majority of the remaining directors and, in the case of an independent director, the director must also be nominated by the remaining independent directors. Any director elected to fill a vacancy will serve for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurs. If there are no remaining independent directors, then a majority vote of the remaining directors will be sufficient to fill a vacancy among the independent directors’ positions. If at any time there are no independent or affiliated directors in office, successor directors will be elected by the stockholders. Each director will be bound by our charter.

 

Responsibilities of Directors

 

The responsibilities of our board of directors include:

 

approving and overseeing our overall investment strategy, which will consist of elements such as investment selection criteria, diversification strategies and asset disposition strategies;

 

approving all real property acquisitions, developments and dispositions, including real property portfolio acquisitions, developments and dispositions;

 

approving and overseeing our debt financing strategies;

 

approving and monitoring the relationship between our operating partnership and our advisor;

 

approving joint ventures, limited partnerships and other such relationships with third parties;

 

approving a potential liquidity event;

 

52
 

 

determining our distribution policy and authorizing distributions from time to time; and

 

approving amounts available for repurchases of shares of our common stock.

 

Our directors are not required to devote all of their time to our business and are only required to devote such time to our affairs as their duties require. Our directors will meet quarterly or more frequently as necessary.

 

Our directors have established and periodically review written policies on investments and borrowings consistent with our investment objectives and monitor our administrative procedures, investment operations and performance and those of our advisor to assure that such policies are carried out. Any change in our investment objectives as set forth in our charter must be approved by our common stockholders.

 

Because of the conflicts of interest created by the relationship among us, our advisor and various affiliates, our charter requires that a majority of our independent directors assume certain responsibilities. Our charter has been reviewed and ratified by a vote of the directors and at least a majority of the independent directors. The independent directors will determine, from time to time but at least annually, that (1) the total fees and expenses paid to our advisor, our property manager and our dealer manager, as applicable, are reasonable in light of our investment performance, net assets, net income and the fees and expenses of other comparable unaffiliated REITs and (2) the compensation paid to our advisor is reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services performed and that such compensation is within the limits prescribed by this prospectus. The independent directors will also supervise the performance of our advisor and review the compensation we pay our advisor to determine that the provisions of the advisory agreement are carried out. If the independent directors determine to terminate the advisory agreement, our advisor will not be entitled to compensation for further services but shall be entitled to receive from us or our operating partnership within 30 days after such termination all unpaid reimbursements or expenses and all earned but unpaid fees payable prior to such termination, subject to certain limitations. The independent directors will also be responsible for reviewing the performance of our advisor and determining that the compensation to be paid to our advisor is reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services performed and that the provisions of the advisory agreement are being carried out. A majority of our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction must approve all transactions with any of our directors, our sponsors, our advisors or any of our affiliates.

 

As part of their review of our advisor’s compensation, the independent directors consider factors such as:

 

the quality and extent of the services and advice furnished by our advisor;

 

the amount of fees paid to our advisor in relation to the size, composition and performance of our investments;

 

the success of our advisor in generating investment opportunities that meet our investment objectives;

 

rates charged to other externally advised REITs and similar investors by advisors performing similar services;

 

additional revenues realized by our advisor and its affiliates through their relationships with us, whether we pay them or they are paid by others with whom we do business;

 

the performance of our real estate assets, including income, conservation or appreciation of capital, frequency of problem investments and competence in dealing with distress situations; and

 

the quality of our real estate assets relative to the investments generated by our advisor for its own account.

 

The independent directors shall record their findings on the factors they deem relevant in the minutes of the meeting of the board of directors.

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

Our board of directors may establish committees it deems appropriate to address specific areas in more depth than may be possible at a full board of directors meeting, provided that the majority of the members of each committee are independent directors. Our board of directors has established an audit committee.

 

Audit Committee

 

Our board of directors has established an audit committee, which will meet on a regular basis, at least quarterly and more frequently as necessary. The audit committee is currently comprised of two directors, Messrs. Douglas Bech and Charles Horn, each of whom is an independent director. Mr. Horn serves as the chairman of the audit committee and has been designated as the audit committee’s financial expert.

 

53
 

 

All audit committee members must be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and footnotes. The audit committee has direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditors we employ. The audit committee assists our directors in overseeing and monitoring: (1) the systems of our internal accounting and financial controls; (2) our financial reporting processes; (3) the independence, objectivity and qualification of our independent auditors; (4) the annual audit of our financial statements; and (5) our accounting policies and disclosures. The audit committee considers and approves (1) any non-audit services provided by an independent auditor and (2) certain non-audit services provided by an independent auditor to our advisor and its affiliates to the extent that such approval is required under applicable regulations of the SEC. The audit committee has sole authority to hire and fire any independent auditor we employ and is responsible for approving all audit engagement fees and terms and resolving disagreements between us and our independent auditors regarding financial reporting. Our independent auditors report directly to the audit committee.

Compensation of Executive Officers and Directors

 

We do not currently have any employees nor do we currently intend to hire any employees who will be compensated directly by us. Each of our executive officers, including each executive officer who serves as a director, is employed by our advisor and receives compensation for his or her services, including services performed on our behalf, from our advisor. Although we indirectly bear some of the costs of the compensation paid to our executive officers, either through fees or expense reimbursements we pay to our advisor, we do not intend to pay any compensation directly to our executive officers. Our executive officers, as employees of our advisor, are entitled to receive awards in the future under our long-term incentive plan as a result of their status as employees of our advisor, although we do not currently intend to grant any such awards.

 

We pay each of our independent directors an annual retainer of $50,000, plus $2,000 for each in-person meeting of the board of directors attended, $1,500 for each in-person committee meeting attended and $1,000 for each telephonic meeting in which such independent director participates. The audit committee chairperson receives an additional $10,000 annual retainer.

 

We have adopted an independent directors compensation plan, which operates as a sub-plan of our long-term incentive plan (described below) pursuant to which each of our independent directors is entitled, subject to the plan’s conditions and restrictions, to receive an initial grant of 5,000 shares of restricted stock when we have raised $2,000,000 in gross offering proceeds. Each subsequent independent director that joins our board of directors will receive an initial grant of 5,000 shares of restricted stock upon his or her election to our board of directors. In addition, on the date following an independent director’s reelection to our board of directors, he or she will receive an additional grant of 2,500 shares of restricted stock upon each of the first four annual meetings of stockholders when he or she is reelected to our board of directors. The restricted stock will generally vest and become non-forfeitable in equal quarterly installments beginning on the first day of the first quarter following the date of grant; provided, however, that the restricted stock will become fully vested on the earlier of (1) the termination of the independent director’s service as a director due to death or disability, or (2) we experience a change in control. All directors receive reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings of the board of directors. If a director is also one of our executive officers, we will not pay any compensation to such person for services rendered as a director.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

 

We have adopted a long-term incentive plan which we use to attract and retain qualified directors, officers, employees, and consultants. Our long-term incentive plan offers these individuals an opportunity to participate in our growth through awards in the form of, or based on, our common stock. We currently anticipate that we will issue awards only to our independent directors under our long-term incentive plan.

 

The long-term incentive plan authorizes the granting of restricted stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted or deferred stock units, dividend equivalents, other stock-based awards and cash-based awards to directors, employees and consultants of ours selected by the board of directors for participation in our long-term incentive plan. Stock options granted under the long-term incentive plan will not exceed an amount equal to 10.0% of the outstanding shares of our common stock on the date of grant of any such stock options. Stock options may not have an exercise price that is less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant.

 

Our board of directors or a committee appointed by our board of directors administers the long-term incentive plan, with sole authority to determine all of the terms and conditions of the awards, including whether the grant, vesting or settlement of awards may be subject to the attainment of one or more performance goals. As described above, our independent directors receive shares of restricted stock under a sub-plan to our long-term incentive plan, thereby aligning their interests more closely with the interests of our stockholders. No awards will be granted under the long-term incentive plan if the grant or vesting of the awards would jeopardize our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code or otherwise violate the ownership and transfer restrictions imposed under our charter. Unless otherwise determined by our board of directors, no award granted under the long-term incentive plan will be transferable except through the laws of descent and distribution.

 

We have authorized and reserved an aggregate maximum number of 2,000,000 shares for issuance under the long-term incentive plan. In the event of a transaction between our company and our stockholders that causes the per-share value of our common stock to change (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, rights offering or large nonrecurring cash dividend), the share authorization limits under the long-term incentive plan will be adjusted proportionately and the board of directors will make such adjustments to the long-term incentive plan and awards as it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights immediately resulting from such transaction. In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of common stock into a lesser number of shares, the authorization limits under the long-term incentive plan will automatically be adjusted proportionately and the shares then subject to each award will automatically be adjusted proportionately without any change in the aggregate purchase price.

 

Our board of directors may in its sole discretion at any time determine that all or a portion of a participant’s awards will become fully vested. The board may discriminate among participants or among awards in exercising such discretion. The long-term incentive plan will automatically expire on the tenth anniversary of the date on which it is approved by our board of directors and stockholders, unless extended or earlier terminated by our board of directors. Our board of directors may terminate the long-term incentive plan at any time. The expiration or other termination of the long-term incentive plan will not, without the participant’s consent, have an adverse impact on any award that is outstanding at the time the long-term incentive plan expires or is terminated. Our board of directors may amend the long-term incentive plan at any time, but no amendment will adversely affect any award without the participant’s consent and no amendment to the long-term incentive plan will be effective without the approval of our stockholders if such approval is required by any law, regulation or rule applicable to the long-term incentive plan.

 

Limited Liability and Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Others

 

Subject to certain limitations, our charter limits the personal liability of our stockholders, directors and officers for monetary damages and provides that we will indemnify and pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to our directors, officers and advisor and our advisor’s affiliates. In addition, we have obtained directors and officers’ liability insurance.

 

The Maryland General Corporation Law, or the MGCL, permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages, except for liability resulting from (1) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (2) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment and which is material to the cause of action.

 

The MGCL requires a Maryland corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which our charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he is made or threatened to be made a party by reason of his service in that capacity. The MGCL allows directors and officers to be indemnified against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and expenses actually incurred in a proceeding unless the following can be established:

 

56
 

 

an act or omission of the director or officer was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty;

 

the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or

 

with respect to any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe his act or omission was unlawful.

 

However, indemnification for an adverse judgment in a suit by us or in our right, or for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, may not be made unless ordered by a court and then only for expenses.

 

The MGCL permits a Maryland corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon receipt of a written affirmation by the director or officer of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification and a written undertaking by him or on his behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct was not met.

 

However, our charter provides that we may indemnify our directors and our advisor and its affiliates for loss or liability suffered by them or hold them harmless for loss or liability suffered by us only if all of the following conditions are met:

 

our directors and our advisor or its affiliates have determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in our best interests;

 

our directors and our advisor or its affiliates were acting on our behalf or performing services for us;

 

in the case of affiliated directors and our advisor or its affiliates, the liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct;

 

in the case of our independent directors, the liability or loss was not the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct; and

 

the indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of our net assets and not from our stockholders.

 

Additionally, we have agreed to indemnify and hold harmless our advisor and its affiliates performing services for us from specific claims and liabilities arising out of the performance of their obligations under the advisory agreement, subject to the limitations set forth above. As a result, we and our stockholders may be entitled to a more limited right of action than we would otherwise have if these indemnification rights were not included in the advisory agreement.

 

The general effect to investors of any arrangement under which any of our controlling persons, directors or officers are insured or indemnified against liability is a potential reduction in distributions resulting from our payment of premiums associated with insurance or any indemnification for which we do not have adequate insurance.

 

The SEC takes the position that indemnification against liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, is against public policy and unenforceable. Indemnification of our directors and our advisor or its affiliates will not be allowed for liabilities arising from or out of a violation of state or federal securities laws, unless one or more of the following conditions are met:

 

there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged material securities law violations;

 

such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction; or

 

a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the SEC and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which the securities were offered as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

 

We may advance funds to our directors, our advisor and its affiliates for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of legal action for which indemnification is being sought only if all of the following conditions are met:

 

the legal proceeding relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of us;

 

the party seeking indemnification has provided us with written affirmation of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification;

 

the legal proceeding is initiated by a third party who is not a stockholder or the legal proceeding is initiated by a stockholder acting in his capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; and

 

the party seeking indemnification provides us with a written agreement to repay the advanced funds to us, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which he is found not to be entitled to indemnification.

 

Indemnification may reduce the legal remedies available to us and our stockholders against the indemnified individuals.

 

57
 

 

The aforementioned charter provisions do not reduce the exposure of directors and officers to liability under federal or state securities laws, nor do they limit a stockholder’s ability to obtain injunctive relief or other equitable remedies for a violation of a director’s or an officer’s duties to us or our stockholders, although the equitable remedies may not be an effective remedy in some circumstances.

 

Our Advisor

 

Moody National Advisor II, LLC, our advisor, and a wholly owned subsidiary of our sponsor, was formed as a Delaware limited liability company in July 2014. Our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, Mr. Brett C. Moody, controls and indirectly owns our advisor. We will rely on our advisor to manage our day-to-day activities and to implement our investment strategy.

 

Our advisor performs its duties and responsibilities as our fiduciary pursuant to an advisory agreement. Under the terms of the advisory agreement, our advisor will use its best efforts, subject to the oversight, review and approval of our board of directors, to perform the following:

 

participate in formulating an investment strategy and asset allocation framework consistent with achieving our investment objectives;

 

research, identify, review and recommend to our board of directors for approval investments in real estate assets and dispositions consistent with our investment policies and objectives;

select joint venture partners, structure corresponding agreements and oversee and monitor these relationships;

 

arrange for financing and refinancing of our real estate assets; and

 

recommend various liquidity events to our board of directors when appropriate.

 

The above summary is provided to illustrate the material functions that our advisor will perform for us as an advisor and is not intended to include all of the services that may be provided to us by our advisor, its affiliates or third parties.

 

Our advisor’s real estate professionals have engaged in investing and managing real estate assets in 46 privately held real estate programs, including performing portfolio management, acquisitions, asset management, dispositions, finance, research, valuation, investor relations, legal and accounting functions. In addition, our advisor’s management team currently advises Moody National REIT I, an affiliated public, non-listed REIT, in a similar capacity.

NamePosition
 Brett C. MoodyChief Executive Officer and President
 Robert W. EngelChief Financial Officer

  

Mr. Moody has primary responsibility for management decisions of our advisor, including the selection of real property investments to be recommended to our board of directors, the negotiations in connection with these investments and the hotel management and leasing of real properties. For biographical information on Messrs. Moody and Engel, see “—Directors and Executive Officers.”

 

The Advisory Agreement

 

The term of the advisory agreement is for one year from the commencement of our offering, subject to renewals upon mutual consent of the parties for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods. The directors of our board of directors will evaluate the performance of our advisor before renewing the advisory agreement, and the criteria used in these evaluations will be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of our board of directors. The advisory agreement may be terminated:

 

immediately by us or our operating partnership for “cause,” or upon the bankruptcy of our advisor;

 

without cause or penalty by a majority of our independent directors upon 60 days’ written notice; or

 

with “good reason” by our advisor upon 60 days’ written notice.

 

58
 

 

“Good reason” is defined in the advisory agreement to mean either any failure to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to assume and agree to perform our or our operating partnership’s obligations under the advisory agreement or any material breach of the advisory agreement of any nature whatsoever by us or our operating partnership. “Cause” is defined in the advisory agreement to mean fraud, criminal conduct, misconduct or negligent breach of fiduciary duty by our advisor or a material breach of the advisory agreement by our advisor.

 

In the event of the termination of the advisory agreement, our advisor will cooperate with us and take all reasonable steps to assist in making an orderly transition of the advisory function.

 

Before selecting a successor advisor, the board of directors must determine that any successor advisor possesses sufficient qualifications to perform the advisory function and to justify the compensation it would receive from us.

 

Upon termination of our advisory agreement for any reason, including for cause, our advisor will be paid all accrued and unpaid fees and expense reimbursements earned prior to the date of termination. Additionally, the special limited partnership interest holder may be entitled to a one-time payment upon redemption of the special limited partnership interests (based on an appraisal or valuation of our portfolio) in the event that the special limited partnership interest holder would have been entitled to a subordinated distribution had the portfolio been liquidated on the termination date. See “Management Compensation” for a detailed discussion of the compensation payable to our advisor under our advisory agreement and the payments that the special limited partnership interest holder may be entitled to receive with respect to the special limited partnership interests. We also describe in that section our obligation to reimburse our advisor for organizational and offering expenses, the cost of providing services to us (other than services for which it earns asset management fees or acquisition, or dispositions fees for sales of properties or other investments) and payments made by our advisor to third parties in connection with potential investments.

 

Holdings of Shares of Common Stock, Limited Partnership Interests and Special Limited Partnership Interests

 

We issued 8,000 shares of our common stock to Moody National REIT Sponsor, LLC, our sponsor, for $200,000 in cash. Our sponsor may not sell these shares for so long as one of its affiliates serves as our advisor. Our limited partner contributed $1,000 for limited partnership interests, and the special limited partnership interest holder contributed $1,000 in exchange for special limited partnership interests. The resale of any of our shares of common stock by our affiliates is subject to the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which rule limits the number of shares that may be sold at any one time.

Affiliated Property Manager

 

Certain of our hospitality properties are managed and operated by Moody National Hospitality Management, LLC, our affiliated property manager, or a sub-property manager.

 

Moody National Hospitality Management, LLC, a Texas limited partnership, is owned by 4MCH, LLC, a Texas limited liability company. Mr. Moody does not have a direct ownership interest in 4MCH, LLC; however, Mr. Moody is the manager, president, secretary and treasurer of 4MCH, LLC and serves as trustee for each of the trusts that have an ownership interest in 4MCH, LLC. Our property manager was organized in 2012 to lease and manage real properties acquired by Moody National affiliates and third parties. Currently, our property manager performs hotel management services for our affiliate, Moody National REIT I, a public, non-listed REIT also sponsored by our sponsor, which has investment objectives generally similar to ours.

 

We, indirectly through our taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs, pay our property manager a monthly hotel management fee equal to 4.0% of the monthly gross receipts from the properties managed by our property manager for services it provides in connection with operating and managing properties. Our property manager may pay some or all of the compensation it receives from a TRS to a third-party property manager for management or leasing services. In the event that our TRS lessee contracts directly with a non-affiliated third-party property manager, it will pay our property manager a market-based oversight fee. The hotel management fees we, indirectly through our TRS lessee, pay to our property manager will include, without additional expense to us, all of our property manager’s general overhead costs. Our TRS lessee reimburses the costs and expenses incurred by our property manager, including legal, travel and other out-of-pocket expenses that are directly related to the management of specific properties but will not reimburse personnel costs other than employees or subcontractors who are engaged in the on-site operation, maintenance or access control of the properties.

 

We also, indirectly through our taxable REIT subsidiaries, pay an annual incentive fee to our property manager. Such annual incentive fee is equal to 15% of the amount by which the operating profit from the properties managed by our property manager for such fiscal year (or partial fiscal year) exceeds 8.5% of the total investment of such properties. Our property manager may pay some or all of this annual fee to third-party sub-property managers for management services. For purposes of this fee, “total investment” means the sum of (1) the price paid to acquire a property, including closing costs, conversion costs, and transaction costs; (2) additional invested capital; and (3) any other costs paid in connection with the acquisition of the property, whether incurred pre- or post-acquisition.

 

Our property manager hires, directs and establishes policies for employees who will have direct responsibility for the operations of each real property it manages, which may include, but is not limited to, on-site managers and building and maintenance personnel. Certain employees of our property manager may be employed on a part-time basis and may also be employed by our advisor, or companies affiliated with our advisor. Our property manager also directs the purchase of equipment and supplies and supervises all maintenance activity.

 

Our property manager may engage an affiliate or third-party property manager to provide management and/or leasing services at select properties. If our property manager engages an affiliate or third-party property manager, it will be responsible for supervising and compensating such third-party property manager.

MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION TABLE

 

Although we have executive officers who manage our operations, we have no paid employees. Our advisor manages our day-to-day affairs and our portfolio of investments. The following table summarizes all of the compensation and fees, including reimbursement of expenses, to be paid by us to our advisor and its affiliates, including the dealer manager, in connection with our organization, this offering and our operations, assuming we sell the maximum of $1,000,000,000 in shares in the primary offering, we sell all shares in this offering at the highest possible sales commissions and dealer manager fees and there are no discounts in the price per share. No effect is given to any shares sold through our distribution reinvestment plan.

 

Compensation/ Reimbursement and Recipient(1) Description and Method of Computation Estimated Amount Maximum Offering
  Organizational and Offering Stage  
Sales Commission(2)–Dealer Manager 7.0% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares in the primary offering (all or a portion of which may be reallowed to participating broker-dealers). $70,000,000
     
Dealer Manager Fee(2)–Dealer Manager 3.0% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares in the primary offering, a portion of which may be reallowed to participating broker-dealers (excluding funds retained for the payment of wholesaling commissions, training and education costs and overhead expenses). $30,000,000
     
Organizational and Offering Expense Reimbursement–Advisor or its affiliates Reimbursement for organizational and offering expenses incurred on our behalf, but only to the extent that such reimbursements do not exceed actual expenses incurred by the advisor and would not cause the cumulative sales commission, the dealer manager fee and other organization and offering expenses borne by us to exceed 15.0% of gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares in the primary offering as of the date of reimbursement. We estimate that organization and offering expenses (excluding sales commissions and dealer manager fees) will represent approximately 2.0% of gross proceeds from our primary offering, or approximately $20,000,000, if we raise the maximum offering amount. $20,000,000
     
  Operational Stage  
Acquisition Fees(3) –Advisor or its affiliates 1.5% of (1) the cost of all investments we acquire (including our pro rata share of any indebtedness assumed or incurred in respect of the investment and exclusive of acquisition and financing coordination fees), (2) our allocable cost of investments acquired in a joint venture (including our pro rata share of the purchase price and our pro rata share of any indebtedness assumed or incurred in respect of that investment and exclusive of acquisition fees and financing coordination fees) or (3) the amount funded by us to acquire or originate a loan or other investment, including mortgage, mezzanine or bridge loans (including any third-party expenses related to such investment and exclusive of acquisition fees and financing coordination fees). Once the proceeds from the primary offering have been fully invested, the aggregate amount of acquisition fees and financing coordination fees shall not exceed 1.9% of the contract purchase price and the amount advanced for a loan or other investment, as applicable, for all the assets acquired. $13,200,000 (assuming no leverage is used to purchase real estate assets). $52,800,000 (assuming a leverage ratio of 75%).

Compensation/ Reimbursement and Recipient(1) Description and Method of Computation Estimated Amount Maximum Offering
Financing Coordination Fees–Advisor 1.0% of the amount available under any loan or line of credit originated or assumed, directly or indirectly, in connection with the acquisition of properties or other permitted investments, which will be in addition to the acquisition fee paid to our advisor, and 0.75% of the amount available or outstanding under any refinanced loan or line of credit. Financing coordination fees are only payable if our advisor provides services in connection with the origination, assumption or refinancing of debt that we use to acquire properties or other permitted investments. Our advisor may pay some or all of the fees to third parties if it subcontracts to coordinate financing. No fee will be paid in connection with loan proceeds from any line of credit until such time as we have invested all net offering proceeds. Actual amounts depend upon the amount of debt obtained and services provided, and, therefore, cannot be determined at this time.
     
Reimbursement of Acquisition Expenses(3) —Advisor Reimbursement of actual expenses related to the evaluation, selection and acquisition of real estate investments, regardless of whether we actually acquire the related assets. In no event will the total of all acquisition fees (including financing coordination fees) and acquisition expenses payable exceed 6.0% of the contract purchase price of all real estate investments acquired. Actual amounts are dependent upon the actual asset values, timing of acquisition and leverage and, therefore, cannot be determined at this time.
     
Asset Management Fees—Advisor A monthly amount equal to one-twelfth of 1.0% of the sum of the cost of all real estate investments we acquire. Actual amounts depend upon the aggregate cost of our investments, and, therefore, cannot be determined at this time.
     
Hotel Management Fees–Moody National Hospitality Management, LLC A monthly hotel management fee equal to 4.0% of the monthly gross receipts from the properties managed by our property manager. Our property manager may pay some or all of these fees to third parties for management services. In the event that our TRS lessee contracts directly with a non-affiliated third-party property manager, our TRS lessee will pay our property manager a market-based oversight fee. Our TRS lessee will reimburse the costs and expenses incurred by our property manager on its behalf, including legal, travel and other out-of-pocket expenses that are directly related to the management of specific properties. Our TRS lessee will not, however, reimburse our property manager for general overhead costs or personnel costs other than employees or subcontractors who are engaged in the on-site operation, management, maintenance or access control of our properties. Actual amounts depend upon the gross revenue of the properties, and, therefore, cannot be determined at this time.

Compensation/ Reimbursement and Recipient(1) Description and Method of Computation Estimated Amount Maximum Offering
Annual Incentive Fees(7)–Moody National Hospitality Management, LLC We, indirectly through our TRS lessee, also pay an annual incentive fee to our property manager. Such annual incentive fee is equal to 15% of the amount by which the operating profit from the properties managed by our property manager for such fiscal year (or partial fiscal year) exceeds 8.5% of the total investment of such properties. Our property manager may pay some or all of this annual fee to third-party property managers for management services.

For purposes of this fee, “total investment” means the sum of (1) the price paid to acquire a property, including closing costs, conversion costs, and transaction costs; (2) additional invested capital; and (3) any other costs paid in connection with the acquisition of the property, whether incurred pre- or post-acquisition.
The actual amount will depend on gross revenues of properties and the total investment in properties, as well as the NASAA REIT Guidelines 15% limitation, and, therefore, cannot be determined at this time.
     
Operating Expenses(4)–Advisor We reimburse our advisor for all expenses paid or incurred by our advisor in connection with the services provided to us, including our allocable share of the advisor’s overhead, such as rent, personnel costs, utilities and IT costs; provided, however, that we do not reimburse our advisor or its affiliates for employee costs in connection with services for which our advisor or its affiliates receives acquisition, disposition or asset management fees or for the personnel costs our advisor pays with respect to persons who serve as our executive officers. Actual amounts are dependent upon expenses paid or incurred and the NASAA REIT Guidelines 2%/25% limitation, and therefore, cannot be determined at the present time.

Disposition Fees (5)–Advisor or its affiliates If our advisor provides a substantial amount of services in connection with the sale of a property or other investment, as determined by our independent directors, we may pay our advisor a disposition fee equal to the lesser of (1)(a) where a brokerage commission is also payable to a third party, one-half of the aggregate brokerage commission paid, including brokerage commissions payable to third parties, or (b) where no brokerage commission is payable to any third party, the competitive real estate commission or (2) 3.0% of the contract sales price of each property or other investment sold provided, however, in no event may the aggregate of the disposition fees paid to our advisor and any real estate commissions paid to unaffiliated third parties exceed 6.0% of the contract sales price. With respect to a property held in a joint venture, the foregoing commission will be reduced to a percentage of such amount reflecting our economic interest in the joint venture.

Actual amounts depend upon the sales price of investments, and therefore cannot be determined at this time.

Compensation/ Reimbursement and Recipient(1) Description and Method of Computation Estimated Amount Maximum Offering
Special Limited Partnership Interests(6)(7)— Moody National LPOP II, LLC

The special limited partnership interest holder, was issued special limited partnership interests upon its initial investment of $1,000 in our operating partnership and in consideration of services to be provided by our advisor, and as the holder of special limited partnership interests will be entitled to receive distributions equal to 15.0% of our net cash flows, whether from continuing operations, the repayment of loans, the disposition of assets or otherwise, but only after our stockholders have received, in the aggregate, cumulative distributions equal to their total invested capital plus a 6.0% cumulative, non-compounded annual pre-tax return on such aggregated invested capital. In addition, the special limited partnership interest holder will be entitled to a separate payment if it redeems its special limited partnership interests. The special limited partnership interests may be redeemed upon: (1) the listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange; or (2) the occurrence of certain events that result in the termination or non-renewal of our advisory agreement, in each case for an amount that Moody LPOP II would have been entitled to receive, as described above, as if our operating partnership had disposed of all of its assets at the enterprise valuation as of the date of the event triggering the redemption. If the event triggering the redemption is: (1) a listing of our shares on a national securities exchange, the enterprise valuation will be calculated based on the average share price of our shares for a specified period; or (2) an underwritten public offering, the enterprise value will be based on the valuation of the shares as determined by the initial public offering price in such offering. If the triggering event is the termination or non-renewal of our advisory agreement other than for cause, the enterprise valuation will be calculated based on an appraisal or valuation of our assets.

Actual amounts depend upon future liquidity events and the NASAA REIT Guidelines 15% limitation, and therefore cannot be determined at this time.

 

 

(1)Our advisor may elect, in its sole discretion, to have any of the fees payable to advisor paid in cash, in shares of our common stock, or a combination of both. For the purposes of the payment of such fees in shares of our common stock, prior to the termination of our offering stage, each such share will be valued at the then-current public offering price of shares of our common stock minus the maximum allowed selling commissions and dealer manager fee. At all other times, each share will be valued at a price equal to the most recently determined estimated value per share.

 

(2) The sales commissions and dealer manager fee may be reduced or waived in connection with certain categories of sales, such as sales for which a volume discount applies, sales through investment advisors or banks acting as trustees or fiduciaries, sales to our affiliates and sales under our distribution reinvestment plan. We may later elect to modify our commission structure, including adopting multiple share classes or trailing commissions, depending on changes in industry regulations and best practices. Any such modification, and subsequent offers and sales, will be subject to any applicable regulatory approvals.

 

(3)Our charter limits our ability to pay acquisition fees if the total of all acquisition fees and expenses relating to the purchase would exceed 6.0% of the amount actually paid or allocated in respect of the purchase, development, construction or improvement of a property, or the amount of funds advanced with respect to a loan, or the amount actually paid or allocated in respect of the purchase of other assets, in each case exclusive of acquisition fees and acquisition expenses, which amount is referred to in our charter as the “costs of investments.” Acquisition expenses include expenses related to the acquisition of real estate assets including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses, travel and communication expenses, cost of appraisals, nonrefundable option payments or property not acquired, accounting fees and expenses, title insurance and miscellaneous expenses related to the selection and acquisition of properties whether or not acquired. Acquisition expenses are generally paid to third parties and/or in addition to the acquisition fees paid to our advisor. Under our charter, a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of the independent directors, would have to approve any acquisition fees (or portion thereof) which would cause the total of all acquisition fees and expenses relating to a real estate asset acquisition to exceed 6.0% of the contract purchase price. We have assumed acquisition expenses will constitute 0.5% of net proceeds.

 

64
 

 

(4)Our advisor must reimburse us for the amount by which our aggregate total operating expenses for the four fiscal quarters then ended exceed the greater of (1) 2.0% of our average invested assets, or (2) 25% of our net income, unless the independent directors have determined that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors, in which case such determination, together with an explanation of the factors considered in making such determination, will be disclosed to our stockholders within 60 days after the end of the quarter in which such excess occurred. Any such determination and the reasons supporting such determination will also be recorded in the minutes of the meetings of our board of directors. For purposes of these limits, (1) “average invested assets” means the average of the aggregate monthly book value of our assets invested directly or indirectly in equity interests and loans secured by real estate during the 12-month period before deducting depreciation, bad debts or other non-cash reserves, (2) “net income” is our total revenues less our total expenses excluding depreciation, reserves for bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves, and (3) “total operating expenses” means all expenses paid or incurred by us, as determined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, that are in any way related to our operation, including investment management fees, but excluding (a) the expenses of raising capital such as organization and offering expenses, legal, audit, accounting, underwriting, brokerage, listing, registration and other fees, printing and other such expenses and taxes incurred in connection with the issuance, distribution, transfer, listing and registration of shares of our common stock; (b) interest payments; (c) taxes; (d) non-cash expenditures such as depreciation, amortization and bad debt reserves; (e) reasonable incentive fees based on the gain in the sale of our assets; (f) acquisition fees and acquisition expenses (including expenses relating to potential acquisitions that we do not close); (g) real estate commissions on the resale of investments; and (h) other expenses connected with the acquisition, disposition, management and ownership of investments (including the costs of foreclosure, insurance premiums, legal services, maintenance, repair and improvement of real property).

 

(5) Although we are most likely to pay disposition fees to our advisor or one of its affiliates in our liquidity stage, these fees may also be earned during our operational stage. With respect to the disposition of investments in securities, the disposition fee may be paid to an affiliate of our advisor that is registered as a FINRA member broker-dealer if applicable FINRA rules would prohibit the payment of the disposition fee to a firm that is not a registered broker-dealer. To the extent the disposition fee is paid upon the sale of any assets other than real property, it will count against the limit on “total operating expenses” described in note 3 above.

 

(6)To the extent the distributions to the special limited partnership interest holder are not paid from net sales proceeds, such amounts will count against the limit on “total operating expenses” described above in note 4. Upon the termination of our advisory agreement for “cause,” we will redeem the special limited partnership interests in exchange for a one-time cash payment of $1.00. Except for this potential payment and as described in “Management Compensation,” the special limited partnership interest holder shall not be entitled to receive any redemption or other payment from us or our operating partnership, including any participation in the monthly distributions we intend to make to our stockholders.

 

(7) The total amount of incentive fees payable to our property manager and the distributions or redemption payments payable to the special limited partnership interest holder shall be “reasonable” (as determined pursuant to the NASAA REIT Guidelines) and shall be subject to the limitations and requirements set forth in our charter. To the extent necessary to comply with the 15% limitation set forth in the NASAA REIT Guidelines, we will reduce or withhold distributions or adjust the conversion ratio upon a redemption of the special limited partnership interests.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

 

We are subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of our relationship with our sponsor, advisor and other affiliates, including (1) conflicts related to the compensation arrangements between our advisor, certain affiliates and us, (2) conflicts with respect to the allocation of the time of our advisor and its key personnel and (3) conflicts with respect to the allocation of investment opportunities. Our independent directors have an obligation to function on our behalf in all situations in which a conflict of interest may arise and will have a fiduciary obligation to act on behalf of our stockholders. The material conflicts of interest are discussed below.

 

Interests in Other Real Estate Programs

 

Our sponsor is a part of Moody National Companies, a group of integrated real estate investment, management and development companies that have sponsored 46 privately offered real estate programs and Moody National REIT I, a public, non-listed REIT, all of which have investment objectives generally similar to this offering and may conduct offerings concurrently with this offering.

 

Our advisor, Moody National Advisor II, LLC, is a subsidiary of our sponsor, Moody National REIT Sponsor, LLC. Our advisor was formed in July 2014 and has no prior operating history; however, certain members of our advisor’s management team are presently, and plan in the future to continue to be, involved with a number of other real estate programs and activities sponsored by Moody National affiliates, including another publicly offered investment program, Moody National REIT I, which has primarily invested in hotel properties. Moody National REIT I is conducting a “best efforts” public offering on a continuous basis that commenced on October 12, 2012 and is expected to terminate on January 31, 2015. Moody National REIT I owns seven hotel properties, holds a joint venture interest in a hotel property and holds a joint venture interest for a mortgage note secured by a hotel property.

 

Our executive officers, certain directors and the key real estate professionals who perform services for us on behalf of our advisor are also officers, directors, managers or key professionals of our sponsor, our dealer manager, our property manager and other affiliated entities, including Moody National REIT I. These persons have legal obligations with respect to those entities that are similar to, and may from time to time conflict with, their obligations to us and our stockholders.

 

Our sponsor, advisor and other affiliates are not prohibited from engaging, directly or indirectly, in any other business or from possessing interests in any other business venture or ventures, including businesses and ventures involved in the acquisition, ownership, development, management, leasing or sale of hospitality-related real property. None of the Moody National affiliates are prohibited from raising money for another entity that makes the same types of investments that we target and we may co-invest with any such entity. All such potential co-investments will be subject to approval by our independent directors.

 

Allocation of Our Affiliates’ Time

 

We will rely on our advisor, property manager, sponsor and their affiliates, including the key real estate professionals who act on behalf of our advisor and our property manager to manage our day-to-day activities and to implement our investment strategy. Certain of these real estate professionals are also executive officers of our sponsor and its affiliates, including Moody National REIT I, and are also responsible for managing the operations of Moody National REIT I, Inc. As a result of these activities, our advisor, its employees and certain of its affiliates have conflicts of interest in allocating their time between us and other activities in which they are or may become involved. Real estate professionals acting on behalf of our advisor must determine which investment opportunities to recommend to us and other Moody National entities, including Moody National REIT I, which could reduce the number of potential investments presented to us. Our advisor and its employees devote only as much of their time to our business as our advisor, in its judgment, determines is reasonably required, which may be substantially less than their full time. Therefore, our advisor and its employees may experience conflicts of interest in allocating management time, services, and functions among us and other Moody National affiliates and any other business ventures in which they or any of their key personnel, as applicable, are or may become involved. This could result in actions that are more favorable to other Moody National affiliates than to us. However, our advisor believes that it and its affiliates have sufficient personnel to discharge fully their responsibilities to all of the activities of Moody National affiliates in which they are involved.

 

Competition

 

We may compete with other Moody National affiliates for opportunities to acquire or sell real properties in certain geographic areas. As a result of this competition, certain investment opportunities may not be available to us. As described below, we and our advisor have developed procedures to resolve potential conflicts of interest in the allocation of investment opportunities between us and Moody National affiliates. Our advisor is required to provide information to our board of directors to enable the board of directors, including the independent directors, to determine whether such procedures are being fairly applied.

 

66
 

 

Certain of our sponsor’s and advisor’s affiliates, including Moody National REIT I, currently own or manage properties in geographic areas in which we have, and expect to in the future, acquire real properties. Conflicts of interest will exist to the extent that we own or manage real properties in the same geographic areas where real properties owned or managed by other Moody National affiliates are located. In such a case, a conflict could arise in the leasing of real properties in the event that we and another Moody National affiliate were to compete for the same tenants in negotiating leases, or a conflict could arise in connection with the resale of real properties in the event that we and another Moody National affiliate were to attempt to sell similar real properties at the same time. Conflicts of interest may also exist at such time as we or our affiliates managing real property on our behalf seek to employ developers, contractors or building managers.

 

Affiliated Dealer Manager

 

Our dealer manager, Moody Securities, LLC, is one of our affiliates, and this relationship may create conflicts of interest in connection with the performance of its due diligence. Even though our dealer manager has examined the information in this prospectus for accuracy and completeness, the dealer manager has not made an independent due diligence review and investigation of us or this offering of the type normally performed by an unaffiliated, independent underwriter in connection with the offering of securities. Accordingly, you do not have the benefit of such independent review and investigation. Our dealer manager will not be prohibited from acting in any capacity in connection with the offer and sale of securities offered by Moody National affiliates that may have investment objectives similar to ours.

 

Affiliated Property Manager and Affiliated Sub-Property Managers

 

Our property manager and affiliate sub-property managers (if applicable) will perform hotel management services for us and our operating partnership. Our property manager and affiliate sub-property managers are affiliated with our sponsor, and in the future there is potential for a number of the members of our sponsor’s management team and our property manager to overlap. As a result, we will not have the benefit of independent hotel management to the same extent as if our sponsor and our property manager, as well as any affiliate sub-property managers, were unaffiliated and did not share any employees or managers. In addition, given that our property manager is affiliated with us, our agreements with our property manager will not be at arm’s-length. Therefore, we will not have the benefit of arm’s-length negotiations of the type normally conducted between unrelated parties.

 

Joint Ventures with Our Affiliates

 

Subject to approval of the transaction by a majority of our board of directors (including a majority of our independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction as fair and reasonable to us and on substantially the same terms and conditions as those received by the other joint ventures, we may enter into joint ventures or other arrangements with our affiliates to acquire, develop and manage real properties. Our advisor and its affiliates may have conflicts of interest in determining which of such entities should enter into any particular joint venture agreement. Our joint venture partners may have economic or business interests or goals that are or that may become inconsistent with our business interests or goals. In addition, should any joint venture be consummated, our advisor may face a conflict in structuring the terms of the relationship between our interests and the interest of the affiliated joint venture partner and in managing the joint venture. Since our advisor will advise our board of directors with respect to investments, agreements and transactions between our advisor’s affiliates and us as joint venture partners with respect to any such joint venture will not have the benefit of arm’s-length negotiations of the type normally conducted between unrelated parties.

 

Fees and Other Compensation to Our Advisor and its Affiliates

 

A transaction involving the purchase or sale of real estate assets may result in the receipt of commissions, fees and other compensation by our advisor and its affiliates, including acquisition fees, hotel management and leasing fees, disposition fees and participation in non-liquidating net sale proceeds. None of the agreements that provide for fees and other compensation to our advisor and its affiliates is the result of arm’s-length negotiations. All such agreements, including our advisory agreement, require approval by a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of the independent directors, not otherwise interested in such transactions, as being fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions no less favorable than those that could be obtained from unaffiliated entities. The timing and nature of fees and compensation to our advisor or its affiliates could create a conflict between the interests of our advisor or its affiliates and those of our stockholders.

 

Subject to oversight by the board of directors, our advisor has considerable discretion with respect to all decisions relating to the terms and timing of all transactions. Therefore, our advisor may have conflicts of interest concerning certain actions taken on our behalf, particularly due to the fact that fees such as the asset management fees, acquisition fees payable to our advisor, and the hotel management fees payable to our property manager, are generally payable regardless of the quality of the real properties, real estate securities and debt-related investments acquired or the services provided to us. In addition, other compensation arrangements, such as whether and when we seek to list our common stock on a national securities exchange, which listing could entitle Moody National LPOP II, LLC, as the holder of special limited partnership interests, to receive a one-time payment in connection with the redemption of its special limited partnership interests.

 

Each transaction we enter into with our advisor or its affiliates is subject to an inherent conflict of interest. The board of directors may encounter conflicts of interest in enforcing our rights against any affiliate in the event of a default by or disagreement with an affiliate or in invoking powers, rights or options pursuant to any agreement between us and any affiliate. The independent directors who are also otherwise disinterested in the transaction must approve each transaction between us and our advisor or any of its affiliates as being fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions no less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties.

 

67
 

 

Conflict Resolution Procedures

 

As discussed above, we are subject to potential conflicts of interest arising out of our relationship with our advisor and its affiliates. These conflicts may relate to compensation arrangements, the allocation of investment opportunities, the terms and conditions on which various transactions might be entered into by us and our advisor or its affiliates and other situations in which our interests may differ from those of our advisor or its affiliates. We have adopted the procedures set forth below to address these potential conflicts of interest.

 

Allocation of Investment Opportunities

 

Many investment opportunities that are suitable for us may also be suitable for our sponsor or its affiliates, including Moody National REIT I. Additionally, our investment strategy is similar to the investment strategy of Moody National REIT I. We, our sponsor, our advisor and other affiliates, including Moody National REIT I, share certain of the same executive officers and key employees. In the event that we, or any other investment vehicle formed or managed by these real estate professionals, or any other investment vehicle sponsored by our sponsor and its affiliates, including Moody National REIT I, are in the market and seeking investments similar to those we intend to make, these real estate professionals will review the investment objectives, portfolio and investment criteria of each such investment vehicle to determine the suitability of the investment opportunity.

 

In connection with determining whether an investment opportunity is suitable for one or more investment vehicles sponsored by our sponsor and its affiliates, these real estate professionals may take into account such factors as they, in their discretion, deem relevant, including, amongst others, the following:

 

the investment objectives and criteria of our sponsor and other affiliates;

 

the cash requirements of our sponsor and its affiliates;

 

the portfolio of our sponsor and its affiliates by type of investment and risk of investment;

 

the policies of our sponsor and its affiliates relating to leverage;

 

the anticipated cash flow of the asset to be acquired;

 

the income tax effects of the purchase;

 

the size of the investment; and

 

the amount of funds available to our sponsor and its affiliates and the length of time such funds have been available for investment.

 

Following the completion of suitability determinations, these real estate professionals shall have the authority, in their sole discretion, to direct the investment opportunity to the entity for which such investment opportunity would be the most suitable. The advisory agreement requires that this determination be made in a manner that is fair without favoring our sponsor or any other affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that an investment opportunity becomes available that is equally suitable, under all of the factors considered by these real estate professionals, for both us and one or more other public or private entities sponsored by our sponsor and its affiliates, or managed by these real estate professionals, including Moody National REIT I, then the entity that has had the longest period of time elapse since it was offered an investment opportunity will first be offered such investment opportunity.

 

If a subsequent event or development causes any investment, in the opinion of these real estate professionals, to be more appropriate for another affiliated entity, they may offer the investment to such entity. In making an allocation determination, these real estate professionals have no obligation to make any investment opportunity available to us.

 

Independent Directors

 

Our independent directors, acting as a group, will resolve potential conflicts of interest whenever they determine that the exercise of independent judgment by the board of directors or our advisor or its affiliates could reasonably be compromised. However, the independent directors may not take any action which, under Maryland law, must be taken by the entire board of directors or which is otherwise not within their authority. The independent directors, as a group, are authorized to retain their own legal and financial advisors. Among the matters the independent directors review and act upon are:

 

the continuation, renewal or enforcement of our agreements with our advisor and its affiliates, including the advisory agreement with our advisor and the dealer manager agreement with our dealer manager;

 

transactions with affiliates, including our directors and officers;

 

awards under our long-term incentive plan; and

 

pursuit of a potential liquidity event.

 

Compensation Involving Our Advisor and its Affiliates

 

The independent directors will evaluate at least annually whether the compensation that we contract to pay to our advisor and its affiliates is reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services performed and whether such compensation is within the limits prescribed by our charter. The independent directors will supervise the performance of our advisor and its affiliates and the compensation we pay to them to determine whether the provisions of our advisory agreement are being carried out. The independent directors record their findings on the factors they deem relevant in the minutes of the meetings of our board of directors.

 

68
 

 

Term of Advisory Agreement

 

Each contract for the services of our advisor may not exceed one year, although there is no limit on the number of times that we may retain a particular advisor. Our charter provides that a majority of the independent directors may terminate our advisory agreement with our advisor without cause or penalty on 60 days’ written notice and that we may terminate the advisory agreement immediately for fraud, criminal conduct, misconduct or negligent breach of fiduciary duty by our advisor, a material breach of the advisory agreement by our advisor or upon the bankruptcy of our advisor.

 

Acquisition, Leases and Sales Involving Affiliates

 

We will not purchase assets in which our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors or any of their affiliates has an interest without a determination by a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of the independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction that such transaction is fair and reasonable to us and at a price to us no greater than the cost of the asset to the affiliated party from which we are purchasing the asset, or, if the price to us is in excess of such cost, that substantial justification for such excess exists and such excess is reasonable. In no event may we acquire or lease any such asset at an amount in excess of its current appraised value.

 

We will not sell or lease assets to our advisor, our sponsor, any of our directors or any of their respective affiliates without a determination by a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of the independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction that such transaction is fair and reasonable to us.

 

Our charter provides that the consideration we pay for real property will ordinarily be based on the fair market value of the property as determined by a majority of our board of directors or the members of a duly authorized committee of the board. In cases in which a majority of our independent directors so determine, and in all cases in which real property is acquired from our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors or any of their affiliates, the fair market value shall be determined by an independent expert selected by our independent directors not otherwise interested in the transaction.

 

Mortgage Loans Involving Affiliates

 

We are prohibited from investing in or making mortgage loans unless an appraisal of the underlying property is obtained. In all cases in which the transaction is with our advisor, our sponsor, our directors or any of their respective affiliates, the appraisal must be obtained by an independent expert, and we must keep the appraisal for at least five years and make it available for inspection and duplication by any of our common stockholders. In addition, we must obtain a mortgagee’s or owner’s title insurance policy or commitment as to the priority of the mortgage or the condition of the title. In addition, our charter prohibits us from investing in indebtedness secured by a mortgage that is subordinate to any lien or other indebtedness of our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors or any of our affiliates.

 

Loans Involving Affiliates

 

We will not make any loans to our advisor, our sponsor, any of our directors or any of their respective affiliates except mortgage loans for which an appraisal of the underlying property is obtained from an independent appraiser or loans to wholly owned subsidiaries. In addition, we will not borrow from our advisor, our sponsor, any of our directors or any of their respective affiliates unless a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of the independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction approve the transaction as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable and no less favorable to us than comparable loans between unaffiliated parties. These restrictions on loans will only apply to advances of cash that are commonly viewed as loans, as determined by our board of directors. By way of example only, the prohibition on loans would not restrict advances of cash for legal expenses or other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought, nor would the prohibition limit our ability to advance reimbursable expenses incurred by our directors or officers, our sponsor, our advisor or any of their respective affiliates.

 

Other Transactions Involving Affiliates

 

We will not engage in any other transaction with our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors or any of their respective affiliates unless a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of the independent directors, not otherwise interested in such transaction approve such transaction as fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions no less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties.

PRIOR PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

 

The information presented in this section represents the historical experience of real estate programs, which we refer to as “prior real estate programs,” sponsored or advised by our sponsor and its affiliates. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Prior Performance Tables, which may be found in Appendix A of this prospectus. Investors in our shares of common stock should not assume that they will experience returns, if any, comparable to those experienced by investors in such prior real estate programs. Investors who purchase our shares of common stock will not thereby acquire any ownership interest in any of the entities to which the following information relates.

 

The returns to our stockholders will depend in part on the mix of product in which we invest, the stage of investment and our place in the capital structure for our investments. Other than Moody National REIT I, the prior real estate programs discussed below were conducted through privately-held entities that were not subject to either the up-front commissions, fees and expenses associated with this offering or many of the laws and regulations to which we are subject. Other than our sponsor’s experience operating Moody National REIT I, neither our sponsor nor any of its affiliates has significant experience in operating a REIT or a publicly offered investment program. As a result, you should not assume the past performance of the prior real estate programs will be indicative of our future performance. See the Prior Performance Tables located in Appendix A.

Adverse Business Developments

 

The recent market downturn has adversely impacted, and could continue to adversely impact, certain prior real estate programs of our sponsor’s affiliates, resulting in a decrease or deferral of distributions with respect to such programs. Moody National Management, L.P. continues to seek approval to amend its master lease agreements for certain prior real estate programs to provide for either a deferral or a waiver of a portion of lease payments to program investors, and may continue to seek further amendments in the future depending upon the then-current economic conditions. Certain prior real estate programs have also requested additional cash infusions from investors to fund outstanding debt service payments. Further such requests may be necessary in the future depending upon the then-current economic conditions. These adverse developments have resulted in a reduction in payments to investors for certain prior real estate programs.

 

Moody National Management, L.P. has commenced negotiations with lenders to restructure loan terms with respect to certain prior real estate programs in default under existing franchise or loan agreements and may continue to do so in the future. With respect to some of these loans, the lender is pursuing various alternatives simultaneously, including initiation of foreclosure and legal proceedings and loan modifications, and the borrowers are actively working toward loan modifications. However, there is no assurance that final loan modifications will be achieved, and with respect to one of these prior real estate programs, it appears likely that the lender will consummate foreclosure proceedings. With respect to another of these prior privately offered real estate programs, the lender has filed for foreclosure and, in connection therewith, initiated a lawsuit. The master tenant and borrowers are working towards a settlement of the lawsuit and it appears likely that the lender will obtain the property in an uncontested foreclosure.

 

With respect to two tenant-in-common programs sponsored by Moody National Realty, the initial lender sold the loans, and the purchaser of the loans initiated foreclosure proceedings resulting in the filing for protection from these proceedings in the United States Bankruptcy Court by an affiliate of Moody National Realty owning an original equity investment in one property of approximately $10,000 and approximately $10,039 in the other property. These affiliates received court approval of a confirmation plan under which an agreement was reached with the lender and the loans were reinstated. With respect to one of these properties, the 28 tenant-in-common owners of the Residence Inn Midtown Atlanta, which originally acquired the project with a $7.475 million equity investment, recently allowed the lender to foreclose on the hotel which secured the loan.

 

An affiliate of Moody National Realty and tenant-in-common owners in eight tenant-in-common programs collectively initiated legal proceedings against a lender. Currently, seven of these tenant-in-common programs have been restructured into a limited liability company owned by the former tenant-in-common owners and a lender affiliate, and the legal proceedings have been dismissed with respect to such programs. The lender and borrowers on one of the tenant-in-common programs entered into a settlement and reinstatement of the loan, and the legal proceedings have been dismissed with respect to such program.

 

The 19 tenant-in-common owners of the Westchase Technology Center property, which originally acquired the property with a $4 million equity investment, declined to proceed with a lender’s loan modification proposal and allowed the lender to foreclose on an office building which secured the loan. The 28 tenant-in-common owners of a two-hotel project (consisting of the Springhill Suites Altamonte and the Holiday Inn Express Orlando) which originally acquired the project with a $10.2 million equity investment declined to proceed with a lender’s loan modification proposal and allowed the lender to foreclose on the two hotels which secured the loan. The 14 tenant-in-common owners of a two-hotel project (consisting of the TownePlace Suite Miami Airport and TownePlace Suites Miami Lakes) which originally acquired the project with a $5.9 million equity investment declined to proceed with a lender’s loan modification proposal and allowed the lender to foreclose on the two hotels which secured the loan. The 16 tenant-in-common owners of the TownePlace Suites Mount Laurel, which originally acquired the property with a $5.6 million equity investment, declined to proceed with a lender’s loan modification proposal and allowed the lender to foreclose on the hotel which secured the loan. Additionally, the 35 tenant-in-common owners of the Courtyard Columbus Airport, which originally acquired the property with a $11.1 million equity investment, entered into a deed in lieu of foreclosure agreement with the lender. Further, the lender for the Residence Inn Memphis filed foreclosure proceedings and one unaffiliated tenant-in-common owner of the Residence Inn Memphis filed for bankruptcy protection, which resulted in a court-ordered auction sale of the property and a loss of the original $6.93 million equity investment for the 17 tenant-in-common owners. In addition, the 31 tenant-in-common owners of the Northbelt II Office Building, which originally acquired the property with a $9.3 million equity investment, allowed the lender to acquire the property in an uncontested foreclosure.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Overview

 

We are a newly formed company and have no operating history. We are dependent upon proceeds received from this offering to conduct our proposed activities. The capital required to purchase our hospitality investments will be obtained from the offering and from any indebtedness that we may incur. We have initially been capitalized with $200,000, which was contributed by our sponsor in exchange for 8,000 shares of our common stock. We have no commitments to acquire any investments or to make any other material capital expenditures.

 

Substantially all of our business will be conducted through Moody National Operating Partnership II, LP, our operating partnership. We are the sole general partner of our operating partnership and our subsidiary, Moody Holdings II, and Moody LPOP II, affiliates of our advisor, are the initial limited partners of our operating partnership. As we accept subscriptions for shares, we will transfer substantially all of the net proceeds of the offering to our operating partnership as a capital contribution. The limited partnership agreement of our operating partnership provides that our operating partnership will be operated in a manner that will enable us to (1) satisfy the requirements for being classified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, (2) avoid any federal income or excise tax liability and (3) ensure that our operating partnership will not be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” for purposes of Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code, which classification could result in our operating partnership being taxed as a corporation, rather than as a partnership. In addition to the administrative and operating costs and expenses incurred by our operating partnership in acquiring and operating our investments, our operating partnership pays all of our administrative costs and expenses, and such expenses will be treated as expenses of our operating partnership. We will experience a relative increase in liquidity as additional subscriptions for shares of our common stock are received and a relative decrease in liquidity as offering proceeds are used to acquire and operate our assets.

 

We do not anticipate establishing a general working capital reserve out of the proceeds of this offering during the initial stages of the offering; however, we may establish capital reserves from offering proceeds with respect to particular investments as required by our lenders or as determined by our advisor. We also may, but are not required to, establish annual cash reserves out of cash flow generated by our investments or out of net cash proceeds from the sale of our investments.

 

To the extent that any working capital reserve is insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, additional funds may be provided from cash generated from operations or through short-term borrowing. In addition, subject to the limitations described in this prospectus, we may incur indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of any investment property, refinance the debt thereon, arrange for the leveraging of any previously unfinanced property or reinvest the proceeds of financing or refinancing in additional properties.

 

If we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year after the taxable year in which we initially elect to be taxed as a REIT, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which qualification is denied. Failing to qualify as a REIT could materially and adversely affect our net income.

 

Factors Which May Influence Results of Operations

 

Economic Conditions Affecting Our Targeted Portfolio

 

Adverse economic conditions affecting the hospitality sector, the geographic regions in which we plan to invest or real estate generally may have a material impact on our capital resources and the revenue or income to be derived from the operation of our hospitality investments.

 

Offering Proceeds

 

Our ability to make investments will depend upon the net proceeds raised in the offering and our ability to finance the acquisition of such hospitality assets. If we raise substantially less than the maximum offering amount, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the number of investments owned, resulting in fewer sources of income. In such event, the likelihood of our profitability being affected by the performance of any one of our investments will increase. In addition, if we are unable to raise substantial funds, our fixed operating expenses, as a percentage of gross income, would be higher, which could affect our net income and results of operations.

 

75
 

 

Sarbanes-Oxley Act

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and related laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and disclosure requirements applicable to public companies, have increased the costs of compliance with corporate governance, reporting and disclosure practices which are now required of us. These costs may have a material impact on our results of operations and could impact our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. Furthermore, we expect that these costs will increase in the future due to our continuing implementation of compliance programs mandated by these requirements. Any increased costs may affect our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

 

In addition, these laws, rules and regulations create new legal grounds and theories for potential administrative enforcement, civil and criminal proceedings against us in case of non-compliance, thereby increasing the risks of liability and potential sanctions against us. We expect that our efforts to comply with these laws and regulations will continue to involve significant and potentially increasing costs, and our failure to comply could result in fees, fines, penalties or administrative remedies against us.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

General

 

Below is a discussion of the accounting policies that we believe will be critical once we commence operations. We consider these policies critical because they involve significant judgments and assumptions, require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If management’s judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions is different, it is possible that different accounting policies will be applied or different amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses will be recorded, resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements or different amounts reported in the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.

 

Valuation and Allocation of Real Property — Acquisition

 

Upon acquisition, the purchase price of real property is allocated to the tangible assets acquired, consisting of land, buildings and tenant improvements, any assumed debt, identified intangible assets and asset retirement obligations based on their fair values. Identified intangible assets consist of above-market and below-market leases, in-place leases, in-place contracts, tenant relationships and any goodwill or gain on purchase. Acquisition costs are charged to expense as incurred. Initial valuations are subject to change during the measurement period, but the measurement period ends as soon as the information is available. The measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date.

 

The fair value of the tangible assets acquired consists of land, buildings, furniture, fixtures and equipment. Land values are derived from appraisals, and building values are calculated as replacement cost less depreciation or our estimates of the relative fair value of these assets using discounted cash flow analyses or similar methods.  The value of the building is depreciated over the estimated useful life of thirty-nine years using the straight-line method.  The value of furniture, fixtures and equipment is based on their fair value using replacement costs less depreciation.

 

We determine the fair value of assumed debt by calculating the net present value of the scheduled mortgage payments using interest rates for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities that we believe we could obtain. Any difference between the fair value and stated value of the assumed debt is recorded as a discount or premium and amortized over the remaining life of the loan.

 

In allocating the purchase price of each of our properties, our advisor makes assumptions and uses various estimates, including, but not limited to, the estimated useful lives of the assets, the cost of replacing certain assets, discount rates used to determine present values, market rental rates per square foot and the period required to lease the property up to its occupancy at acquisition as if it were vacant. Many of these estimates are obtained from independent third-party appraisals. However, we are responsible for the source and use of these estimates. These estimates are judgmental and subject to being imprecise; accordingly, if different estimates and assumptions were derived, the valuation of the various categories of our real estate assets or related intangibles could in turn result in a difference in the depreciation or amortization expense recorded in our financial statements. These variances could be material to our results of operations and financial condition.

 

76
 

 

Valuation and Allocation of Real Property — Ownership

 

Depreciation or amortization expense will be computed using the straight-line and accelerated methods based upon the following estimated useful lives:

 

   Years 
Buildings and improvements   39 
Exterior improvements   10-20 
Equipment and fixtures   5-10 

 

Investment Impairments

 

For real estate we may wholly own, our management will monitor events and changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, we will assess potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset and from its eventual disposition, to the carrying amount of the asset. In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, we will recognize an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to estimated fair value.

 

77
 

 

For real estate we may own through an investment in a joint venture or other similar investment structure, at each reporting date we will compare the estimated fair value of our investment to the carrying value. An impairment charge will be recorded to the extent the fair value of our investment is less than the carrying amount and the decline in value is determined to be other than a temporary decline.

 

In evaluating our investments for impairment, our advisor will make several estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the projected date of disposition of the properties, the estimated future cash flows of the properties during our ownership and the projected sales price of each of the properties. A change in these estimates and assumptions could result in understating or overstating the book value of our investments which could be material to our financial statements.

 

Results of Operations

 

As of the date of this prospectus, we are in our organizational and development stage and have not commenced operations.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal demand for funds will be to acquire investments in accordance with our investment strategy, to pay operating expenses and interest on our outstanding indebtedness and to make distributions to our stockholders. Over time, we intend to generally fund our cash needs for items, other than asset acquisitions, from operations. Otherwise, we expect that our principal sources of working capital will include:

 

current cash balances;

 

public offerings;

 

various forms of secured financing;

 

equity capital from joint venture partners;

 

proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan; and

 

cash from operations.

 

Over the short term, we believe that our sources of capital, specifically our cash balances, cash flow from operations, our ability to raise equity capital from joint venture partners and our ability to obtain various forms of secured financing will be adequate to meet our liquidity requirements and capital commitments.

 

Over the longer term, in addition to the same sources of capital we will rely on to meet our short-term liquidity requirements, we may also utilize additional secured and unsecured financings and equity capital from joint venture partners. We may also conduct additional public offerings. We expect these resources will be adequate to fund our operating activities, debt service and distributions, and will be sufficient to fund our ongoing acquisition activities as well as providing capital for investment in future development and other joint ventures along with potential forward purchase commitments.

 

If we raise substantially less funds in the offering than the maximum offering amount, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification and the value of an investment in us will fluctuate with the performance of the specific assets we acquire. Further, we will have certain fixed operating expenses, including certain expenses as a public REIT, regardless of whether we are able to raise substantial funds in this offering. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, reducing our net income and limiting our ability to make distributions.

 

78
 

 

We currently have no outstanding debt. Under our charter, we are prohibited from borrowing in excess of 300% of the value of our net assets, which generally approximates to 75% of the aggregate cost of our assets, though we may exceed this limit under certain circumstances.

 

In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we expect to use our capital resources to make certain payments to our advisor and dealer manager. During our organization and offering stage, these payments will include payments to the dealer manager for sales commissions and the dealer manager fee and payments to our advisor for reimbursement of certain organization and offering expenses. However, our advisor has agreed to reimburse us to the extent that sales commissions, the dealer manager fee and other organization and offering expenses incurred by us exceed 15% of our gross offering proceeds. During our operating stage, we expect to make payments to our advisor in connection with the acquisition of investments, the management of our assets and costs incurred by our advisor in providing services to us.

 

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

We may be exposed to interest rate changes. Market fluctuations in real estate financing may affect the availability and cost of funds needed to expand our investment portfolio. In addition, restrictions upon the availability of real estate financing or high interest rates for real estate loans could adversely affect our ability to dispose of our real estate assets in the future. We will seek to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our real estate assets. Also, we will be exposed to both credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us. If the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we will owe the counterparty and, therefore, do not have credit risk. We will seek to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. The market risk associated with interest-rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. With regard to variable rate financing, our advisor will assess our interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. Our advisor will maintain risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both our outstanding and forecasted debt obligations as well as our potential offsetting hedge positions. While this hedging strategy will be designed to minimize the impact on our net income and funds from operations from changes in interest rates, the overall returns on your investment may be reduced. Our board of directors has not yet established formal policies and procedures regarding our use of derivative financial instruments for hedging or other purposes.

THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

 

General

 

Our operating partnership was formed on July 29, 2014 to own real property, real estate securities and debt-related investments that will be acquired and actively managed by our advisor on our behalf. We utilize an UPREIT structure generally to enable us to acquire real property in exchange for limited partnership interests from owners who desire to defer taxable gain that would otherwise normally be recognized by them upon the disposition of their real property or transfer of their real property to us in exchange for shares of our common stock or cash. In such a transaction, the property owner’s goals are accomplished because the owner may contribute property to our operating partnership in exchange for limited partnership interests on a tax-free basis. These owners may also desire to achieve diversity in their investment and other benefits afforded to owners of shares of our common stock in a REIT.

 

We hold substantially all of our assets in our operating partnership or in subsidiary entities in which our operating partnership owns an interest, and we may make future acquisitions of real properties for limited partnership interests. If our operating partnership were to issue limited partnership interests to any person other than us or one of our subsidiaries, we likely would amend the partnership agreement to create limited partnership interests that are economically equivalent to shares and which could be submitted for redemption, payable, at our option, in cash or shares. For purposes of satisfying the asset and income tests for qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, our proportionate share of the assets and income of our operating partnership will be deemed to be assets and income. We are the sole general partner of our operating partnership. Our subsidiary, Moody OP Holdings II, LLC, has contributed $1,000 to our operating partnership in exchange for limited partnership interests and Moody National LPOP II, LLC has invested $1,000 in exchange for special limited partnership interests. Moody OP Holdings and Moody National LPOP II, LLC are currently the only limited partners of our operating partnership. As the sole general partner of our operating partnership, we have the exclusive power to manage and conduct the business of our operating partnership.

 

The following is a summary of certain provisions of the limited partnership agreement of our operating partnership, or the operating partnership agreement. For more detail, you should refer to the operating partnership agreement itself, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

 

Capital Contributions

 

As we accept subscriptions for shares of our common stock, we will transfer substantially all of the net offering proceeds to our operating partnership.

 

If our operating partnership requires additional funds at any time in excess of capital contributions made by us and our advisor, we may borrow funds from a financial institution or other lender and lend such funds to our operating partnership on the same terms and conditions as are applicable to our borrowing of such funds. In addition, we are authorized to cause our operating partnership to issue limited partnership interests for less than fair market value if we conclude in good faith that such issuance is in the best interest of our operating partnership and us. The operating partnership would also be able to issue preferred partnership interests in connection with our issuance of preferred stock or otherwise. These preferred partnership interests could have priority over common partnership interests with respect to distributions from the operating partnership, including priority over the partnership interests that we would own as a general partner.

 

Operations

 

The operating partnership agreement requires that our operating partnership be operated in a manner that will enable us to (1) satisfy the requirements for being classified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, unless we otherwise cease to qualify as a REIT, (2) avoid any federal income or excise tax liability, and (3) ensure that our operating partnership will not be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” for purposes of Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code, which classification could result in our operating partnership being taxed as a corporation, rather than as a partnership.

 

Distributions and Allocations of Profits and Losses

 

The operating partnership agreement generally provides that, except as provided below with respect to the special limited partnership interests and except upon liquidation of our operating partnership, our operating partnership will make quarterly or more frequent distributions of cash to the partners of our operating partnership in accordance with their relative percentage interests in amounts determined by us as general partner. Upon the liquidation of our operating partnership, after payment of debts and obligations and any redemption of special limited partnership interests, any remaining assets of our operating partnership will be distributed in accordance with each partner’s positive capital account balance.

 

80
 

 

The special limited partnership interest holder will be entitled to distributions from our operating partnership equal to 15.0% of distributions after the other partners, including us, have received, in the aggregate, cumulative distributions equal to their capital contributions plus a 6.0% cumulative non-compounded annual pre-tax return thereon. Depending on various factors, including the date on which shares of our common stock are purchased and the price paid for such shares of common stock, a stockholder may receive more or less than the 6.0% cumulative non-compounded annual pre-tax return on their net contributions described above prior to the commencement of distributions to the owner of the special limited partnership interests.

 

In addition to the administrative and operating costs and expenses incurred by our operating partnership in acquiring and operating real properties, real estate securities and debt-related investments, our operating partnership pays all our administrative costs and expenses and such expenses will be treated as expenses of our operating partnership. Such expenses include, but are not limited to:

 

expenses relating to the formation and continuity of our existence;

 

expenses relating to our public offering and registration of securities;

 

expenses associated with the preparation and filing of any periodic reports by us under federal, state or local laws or regulations;

 

expenses associated with compliance by us with applicable laws, rules and regulations; and

 

our other operating or administrative costs incurred in the ordinary course of our business on behalf of our operating partnership.

 

Redemption Rights of Special Limited Partnership Interests

 

The special limited partnership interests will be redeemed for a specified amount upon the earliest of: (1) the occurrence of certain events that result in the termination or non-renewal of our advisory agreement; or (2) a listing of our shares. If the triggering event is a listing of our shares, the amount of the payment will be: (1) in the event of a listing on a national securities exchange only, based on the market value of the listed shares based upon the average closing price or, if the average closing price is not available, the average of bid and ask prices, for the 30-day period beginning 120 days after such listing event; or (2) in the event of an underwritten public offering, the value of the shares based upon the initial public offering price in such offering. If the triggering event is the termination of our advisory agreement other than for cause, the amount of the payment will be based on the estimated value of our assets as determined by an independent valuation. According to the terms of the operating partnership agreement, internalization of our advisor would result in the redemption of the special limited partnership interests because our advisory agreement would be terminated upon internalization of our advisory agreement. However, as part of the negotiated consideration for the internalization, the special limited partnership interest holder might agree to amend or waive the redemption feature. Payment to the special limited partnership interest holder upon a triggering event may be paid, at such holder’s discretion, in the form of: (1) shares of our common stock; or (2) a non-interest bearing promissory note. In connection with the exercise of these redemption rights, the special limited partner must make certain representations, including that the delivery of shares of our common stock upon redemption would not result in such special limited partner owning shares in excess of the ownership limits in our charter.

Restrictions on Transferability of Operating Partnership Interests, General Partner Withdrawal and Business Combinations

 

We generally may not (1) voluntarily withdraw as the general partner of our operating partnership, (2) engage in any merger, consolidation or other business combination, except with the consent of limited partners holding more than 50% of the ownership percentage interests of the limited partners or (3) transfer our general partnership interest in our operating partnership (except to a wholly owned subsidiary). With certain exceptions, the holders of limited partnership interests may not transfer their interests in our operating partnership, in whole or in part, without our written consent, as general partner.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

The following is a summary of the material terms of shares of our common stock as set forth in our charter and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our charter. Under our charter, we have authority to issue a total of 1,100,000,000 shares of capital stock. Of the total number of shares of capital stock authorized, 999,999,000 shares are classified as common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share, 1,000 shares are classified as convertible stock with par value of $0.01 per share, and 100,000,000 shares are classified as preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share. Our board of directors, with the approval of a majority of the entire board of directors and without any action by our stockholders, may amend our charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of capital stock or the number of shares of capital stock of any class or series that we have authority to issue.

 

Common Stock

 

The holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters voted on by stockholders, including the election of our directors. Our charter does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Therefore, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock can elect our entire board of directors. Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding class or series of preferred stock, the holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to such distributions as may be authorized from time to time by our board of directors out of legally available funds and declared by us and, upon liquidation, are entitled to receive all assets available for distribution to stockholders. All shares of our common stock issued in the offering will be fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock. Holders of shares of our common stock will not have preemptive rights, which means that you will not have an automatic option to purchase any new shares of common stock that we issue, or have appraisal rights, unless our board of directors determines that appraisal rights apply, with respect to all or any classes or series of our stock, to one or more transactions occurring after the date of such determination in connection with which stockholders would otherwise be entitled to exercise such rights. Stockholders are not liable for our acts or obligations due to their status as stockholders.

 

Our board of directors has authorized the issuance of shares of our capital stock without certificates; therefore, we will not issue certificates for shares of our common stock. Shares of our common stock will be held in “uncertificated” form which will eliminate the physical handling and safekeeping responsibilities inherent in owning transferable share certificates and eliminate the need to return a duly executed share certificate to effect a transfer. DST Systems, Inc. acts as our registrar and as the transfer agent for shares of our common stock. Transfers can be effected simply by mailing a transfer and assignment form, which we will provide to you at no charge, to:

 

DST Systems, Inc. 

333 West 11th Street, 5th Floor 

Kansas City, Missouri 64105

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our charter authorizes our board of directors to classify and reclassify any unissued shares of our common stock and preferred stock into other classes or series of stock. Prior to issuance of shares of each class or series, our board of directors is required by the MGCL and by our charter to set, subject to our charter restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock, the terms, the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of repurchase for each class or series. Thus, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of shares of common stock or preferred stock with terms or conditions which could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or change in control that might involve a premium price for holders of our common stock or otherwise be in their best interest. Our board of directors has no present plans to issue preferred stock, but may do so at any time in the future without stockholder approval. The issuance of preferred stock must be approved by a majority of our independent directors not otherwise interested in the transaction, who will have access, at our expense, to our legal counsel or to independent legal counsel.

 

Convertible Stock

 

Our authorized capital stock includes 1,000 shares of convertible stock, par value $0.01 per share. As noted above, prior to issuance of shares of each class or series, our board of directors is required by the MGCL and by our charter to set, subject to our charter restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock, the terms, the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of repurchase for each class or series, including shares of our convertible stock. Our board of directors has no present plans to issue convertible stock, but may do so at any time in the future without stockholder approval. The issuance of convertible stock must be approved by a majority of our independent directors not otherwise interested in the transaction, who will have access, at our expense, to our legal counsel or to independent legal counsel.

Meetings, Special Voting Requirements and Access To Records

 

An annual meeting of the stockholders will be held each year, beginning in 2016, on a specific date and time set by our board of directors. Special meetings of stockholders may be called only upon the request of a majority of the directors, a majority of the independent directors, the chairman, the chief executive officer, or the president and will be called by our secretary to act upon any matter that may properly be considered at a meeting of stockholders upon the written request of stockholders entitled to cast at least 10% of the votes entitled to be cast on such matter at the meeting. Upon receipt of a written request of eligible stockholders, either in person or by mail, stating the purpose of the meeting, we will provide all stockholders, within ten days after receipt of such request, written notice either in person or by mail, of such meeting and the purpose thereof. Such meeting will be held on a date not less than 15 nor more than 60 days after the distribution of such notice, at a time and place specified in the request, or if none is specified, at a time and place convenient to stockholders. The presence either in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast at least 50% of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting on any matter will constitute a quorum. Generally, the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes cast is necessary to take stockholder action, except as provided in the following paragraph and except that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy at a meeting at which a quorum is present is required to elect a director.

 

Under the MGCL and our charter, stockholders are generally entitled to vote at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present on (1) the amendment of our charter, (2) our dissolution, (3) our merger or consolidation, a statutory share exchange or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets. These matters require the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. With respect to stock owned by our advisor, directors, or any of their affiliates, neither the advisor nor such directors, nor any of their affiliates may vote or consent on matters submitted to stockholders regarding the removal of the advisor, such directors or any of their affiliates or any transaction between us and any of them. In determining the requisite percentage in interest of shares necessary to approve a matter on which our advisor, our directors or their affiliates may not vote or consent, any shares owned by any of them shall not be included.

 

The advisory agreement, including the selection of our advisor, is approved annually by our directors, including a majority of the independent directors. While the stockholders do not have the ability to vote to replace our advisor or to select a new advisor, stockholders do have the ability, by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of directors, to remove a director from our board of directors. Any stockholder will be permitted access to all of our corporate records at all reasonable times and may inspect and copy any of them for a reasonable copying charge. Inspection of our records by the office or agency administering the securities laws of a jurisdiction will be provided upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours. An alphabetical list of the names, addresses and telephone numbers of our stockholders, along with the number of shares of our common stock held by each of them, will be maintained as part of our books and records and will be available for inspection by any stockholder or the stockholder’s designated agent at our office. The stockholder list will be updated at least quarterly to reflect changes in the information contained therein. A copy of the list will be mailed to any stockholder who requests the list within 10 days of the request. A stockholder may request a copy of the stockholder list in connection with matters relating to voting rights and the exercise of stockholder rights under federal proxy laws. A stockholder requesting a list will be required to pay the reasonable costs of postage and duplication. We have the right to request that a requesting stockholder represent to us that the list will not be used to pursue commercial interests. In addition to the foregoing, stockholders have rights under Rule 14a-7 under the Exchange Act, which provides that, upon the request of investors and the payment of the expenses of the distribution, we are required to distribute specific materials to stockholders in the context of the solicitation of proxies for voting on matters presented to stockholders or, at our option, provide requesting stockholders with a copy of the list of stockholders so that the requesting stockholders may make the distribution of proxies themselves. If a proper request for the stockholder list is not honored, then the requesting stockholder will be entitled to recover certain costs incurred in compelling the production of the list as well as actual damages suffered by reason of the refusal or failure to produce the list. However, a stockholder will not have the right to, and we may require a requesting stockholder to represent that it will not, secure the stockholder list or other information for the purpose of selling or using the list for a commercial purpose not related to the requesting stockholder’s interest in our affairs.

 

Tender Offers

 

Our charter provides that any tender offer made by any person, including any “mini-tender” offer, must comply with most of the provisions of Regulation 14D of the Exchange Act, including the notice and disclosure requirements. Among other things, the offeror must provide us notice of such tender offer at least ten business days before initiating the tender offer. If the offeror does not comply with the provisions set forth above, the non-complying offeror will be responsible for all of our expenses in connection with that offeror’s noncompliance. Our charter also prohibits any stockholder from transferring shares of stock to a person who makes a tender offer which does not comply with such provisions unless such stockholder has first offered such shares of stock to us at the tender offer price in the non-compliant tender offer.

Restriction on Ownership of Shares of Capital Stock

 

For us to qualify as a REIT, no more than 50% in value of the outstanding shares of our stock may be owned, directly or indirectly through the application of certain attribution rules under the Internal Revenue Code, by any five or fewer individuals, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include specified entities, during the last half of any taxable year. In addition, the outstanding shares of our stock must be owned by 100 or more persons independent of us and each other during at least 335 days of a 12-month taxable year or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year, excluding our first taxable year for which we elect to be taxed as a REIT. In addition, we must meet requirements regarding the nature of our gross income to qualify as a REIT. One of these requirements is that at least 75% of our gross income for each calendar year must consist of rents from real property and income from other real property investments. Subject to special rules for leases to our TRS-lessees, the aggregate of the rents received by our operating partnership from any tenant will not qualify as rents from real property, which could result in our loss of REIT status, if we own, actually or constructively within the meaning of certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, 10% or more of the ownership interests in that tenant. To assist us in preserving our status as a REIT, among other purposes, our charter contains limitations on the ownership and transfer of shares of our stock which prohibit: (1) any person or entity from owning or acquiring, directly or indirectly, more than 9.8% of the value of the aggregate of our then outstanding capital stock or more than 9.8% of the value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the aggregate of our then outstanding common stock and (2) any transfer of or other event or transaction with respect to shares of capital stock that would result in the beneficial ownership of our outstanding shares of capital stock by fewer than 100 persons. In addition, our charter prohibits any transfer of, or other event with respect to, shares of our capital stock that (1) would result in us being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, (2) would cause us to own, actually or constructively, 9.8% or more of the ownership interests in a tenant of our real property or the real property of our operating partnership or any direct or indirect subsidiary of our operating partnership or (3) would otherwise cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT.

 

Our charter provides that the shares of our capital stock that, if transferred, would: (1) result in a violation of the 9.8% ownership limits; (2) result in us being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Internal Revenue Code; (3) cause us to own 9.9% or more of the ownership interests in a tenant of our real property or the real property of our operating partnership or any direct or indirect subsidiary of our operating partnership; or (4) otherwise cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT, will be transferred automatically to a trust effective on the day before the purported transfer of such shares of our capital stock. We will designate a trustee of the trust that will not be affiliated with us or the purported transferee or record holder. We will also name a charitable organization as beneficiary of the trust. The trustee will receive all distributions on the shares of our capital stock in the trust and will hold such distributions in trust for the benefit of the beneficiary. The trustee also will vote the shares of capital stock in the trust and, subject to Maryland law, will have the authority to rescind as void any vote cast by the intended transferee prior to our discovery that the shares have been transferred to the trust and to recast the vote in accordance with the desires of the trustee acting for the benefit of the charitable beneficiary. However, if we have already taken irreversible corporate action, then the trustee will not have the authority to rescind and recast the vote. The intended transferee will acquire no rights in such shares of capital stock, unless, in the case of a transfer that would cause a violation of the 9.8% ownership limits the transfer is exempted (prospectively or retroactively) by our board of directors from the ownership limits based upon receipt of information (including certain representations and undertakings from the intended transferee) that such transfer would not violate the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code for our qualification as a REIT. If the transfer to the trust would not be effective for any reason to prevent a violation of the foregoing limitations on ownership and transfer, then the transfer of that number of shares that otherwise would cause the violation will be null and void, with the intended transferee acquiring no rights in such shares. In addition, our charter provides that any transfer of shares of our capital stock that would result in shares of our capital stock being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons will be null and void and the intended transferee will acquire no rights in such shares of our capital stock.

 

Within 20 days of receiving notice from us that shares of our stock have been transferred to the trust, the trustee will sell the shares to a person designated by the trustee, whose ownership of the shares will not violate the above ownership limitations. Upon the sale, the interest of the charitable beneficiary in the shares sold will terminate and the trustee will distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the intended transferee and to the charitable beneficiary as follows. The intended transferee will receive an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the price paid by the intended transferee for the shares or, if the intended transferee did not give value for the shares in connection with the event causing the shares to be held in the trust (e.g., a gift, devise or other similar transaction), the “market price” (as defined in our charter) of the shares on the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the trust and (2) the price received by the trustee from the sale or other disposition of the shares. The trustee may reduce the amount payable to the intended transferee by the amount of dividends and other distributions which have been paid to the intended transferee and are owed by the intended transferee to the trustee. Any net sale proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the intended transferee will be paid immediately to the charitable beneficiary. If, prior to our discovery that shares have been transferred to the trust, the shares are sold by the intended transferee, then (1) the shares will be deemed to have been sold on behalf of the trust and (2) to the extent that the intended transferee received an amount for the shares that exceeds the amount described above that such intended transferee was entitled to receive, such excess will be paid to the trustee upon demand.

 

In addition, shares of our stock held in the trust will be deemed to have been offered for sale to us, or our designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (1) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in the transfer to the trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the market price at the time of the devise or gift) and (2) the market price on the date we, or our designee, accept the offer. We will have the right to accept the offer until the trustee has sold the shares. Upon a sale to us, the interest of the charitable beneficiary in the shares sold will terminate and the trustee will distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the intended transferee. We may reduce the amount payable to the intended transferee by the amount of dividends and other distributions which have been paid to the intended transferee and are owed by the intended transferee to the trustee. We may pay the amount of such reduction to the trustee for the benefit of the charitable beneficiary.

 

85
 

 

Any person who acquires or attempts or intends to acquire shares of our capital stock in violation of the foregoing restrictions or who owns shares of our capital stock that were transferred to any such trust is required to give immediate written notice to us or, in the case of a proposed or attempted transaction, at least 15 days’ prior written notice. In both cases, such persons must provide to us such other information as we may request to determine the effect, if any, of such event on our status as a REIT. The foregoing restrictions will continue to apply until our board of directors determines it is no longer in our best interest to attempt to, or to continue to qualify as a REIT or that compliance is no longer required in order for REIT qualification.

 

The ownership limits do not apply to a person or persons that our board of directors exempts (prospectively or retroactively) from the ownership limits upon appropriate assurances that our qualification as a REIT is not jeopardized. Any person who owns more than 5.0% (or such lower percentage applicable under Treasury Regulations) of the outstanding shares of our capital stock during any taxable year will be asked to deliver a statement or affidavit setting forth the number of shares of our capital stock beneficially owned.

 

Distributions

 

We intend to make distributions on a monthly basis beginning no later than the first calendar month after the month in which the minimum offering requirements are met, and we expect to continue to make monthly distribution payments following the end of each calendar month. Once we commence paying distributions, we expect to continue paying monthly distributions unless our results of operations, our general financial condition, the general economic condition or other factors prohibit us from doing so. The timing and amount of distributions will be determined by our board of directors in its discretion and may vary from time to time. In connection with a distribution to our stockholders, our board of directors will authorize a monthly distribution for a certain dollar amount per share of our common stock. We will then calculate each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the month using daily record and declaration dates. Each stockholder’s distributions will begin to accrue on the date we accept such stockholder’s subscription for shares of our common stock.

 

We are required to make distributions sufficient to satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Generally, income distributed will not be taxable to us under the Internal Revenue Code if we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income each year (computed without regard to the distributions paid deduction and our net capital gain). Distributions will be authorized at the discretion of our board of directors and declared by us, in accordance with our earnings, cash flow and general financial condition. Our board of directors’ discretion will be directed, in substantial part, by its obligation to cause us to comply with the REIT requirements. Because we may receive income from interest or rents at various times during our fiscal year, distributions may not reflect our income earned in that particular distribution period and may be made in advance of actual receipt of funds in an attempt to make distributions relatively uniform. We are authorized to borrow money, issue new securities or sell assets to make distributions. There are no restrictions on the ability of our operating partnership to transfer funds to us.

 

Distributions in kind shall not be permitted, except for (1) distributions of readily marketable securities, (2) distributions of beneficial interests in a liquidating trust established for our dissolution and the liquidation of our assets in accordance with the terms of our charter or (3) distributions for which our board of directors advises each stockholder of the risks associated with direct ownership of the property, our board of directors offers each stockholder the election of receiving such in-kind distributions and in-kind distributions are made only to those stockholders that accept such offer. The receipt of marketable securities in lieu of cash distributions may cause stockholders to incur transaction expenses in liquidating the securities. We do not have any current intention to list our shares of our common stock on a national securities exchange, nor is it expected that a public market for our shares of common stock will develop.

 

We can give no assurance that we will pay distributions solely from our cash flow from operations in the future, especially during the period when we are raising capital and have not yet acquired a substantial portfolio of income-producing investments. Our long-term policy will be to pay distributions from cash flow from operations. However, because this is a blind pool offering, it is likely that distributions paid during the early stages of our offering and before we have acquired a substantial portfolio of real estate assets will be funded primarily from offering proceeds. Our organizational documents permit us to pay distributions from any source, including loans, our advisor’s deferral of fees and expense reimbursements and offering proceeds. We have not established a limit on the amount of proceeds we may use from this offering to fund distributions. If we pay distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, we will have fewer funds available for investments and your overall return on your investment in us will be reduced.

 

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

 

Pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan you may elect to have the cash distributions you receive reinvested in shares of our common stock at an initial price of $23.75 per share; provided, however, that our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, change this price based upon changes in our estimated value per share, the then-current public offering price of shares of our common stock and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. If we determine to change the price at which we offer shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, we do not anticipate that we will do so more frequently than quarterly. A copy of our distribution reinvestment plan is included as Appendix C to this prospectus. You may elect to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan by completing the subscription agreement, the enrollment form or by other written notice to the plan administrator. Participation in the plan will begin with the next distribution made after acceptance of your written notice. We may terminate, amend or suspend the distribution reinvestment plan for any reason at any time upon ten days’ prior written notice to participants. Participation in the plan may also be terminated with respect to any person to the extent that a reinvestment of distributions in shares of our common stock would cause the share ownership limitations contained in our charter to be violated. Following any termination of our distribution reinvestment plan, all subsequent distributions to stockholders would be made in cash. No sales commissions or dealer manager fees are payable on shares sold through our distribution reinvestment plan.

 

86
 

 

Participants may acquire shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan until the earliest date upon which (1) all the common stock registered in this or future offerings to be offered under our distribution reinvestment plan is issued, (2) this offering and any future offering pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan terminates, and we elect to deregister with the SEC the unsold amount of our common stock registered to be offered under our distribution reinvestment plan or (3) there is more than a de minimis amount of trading in shares of our common stock, at which time any registered shares of our common stock then available under our distribution reinvestment plan will be sold at a price equal to the fair market value of the shares of our common stock, as determined by our board of directors by reference to the applicable sales price with respect to the most recent trades occurring on or prior to the relevant distribution date. In any case, the price per share will be equal to the then-prevailing market price, which will equal the price on the national securities exchange on which such shares of common stock are listed at the date of purchase.

 

Stockholders who elect to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan, and who are subject to United States federal income taxation laws, will incur a tax liability on an amount equal to the fair value on the relevant distribution date of the shares of our common stock purchased with reinvested distributions, even though such stockholders have elected not to receive the distributions used to purchase those shares of common stock in cash. Under present law, the United States federal income tax treatment of that amount will be as described with respect to distributions under “Federal Income Tax Considerations—Taxation of Taxable U.S. Stockholders” in the case of a taxable U.S. stockholder (as defined therein) and as described under “Federal Income Tax Considerations—Special Tax Considerations for Non-U.S. Stockholders” in the case of a Non-U.S. Stockholder (as defined therein). However, the tax consequences of participating in our distribution reinvestment plan will vary depending upon each participant’s particular circumstances, and you are urged to consult your own tax advisor regarding the specific tax consequences to you of participation in the distribution reinvestment plan.

 

All material information regarding the distributions to stockholders and the effect of reinvesting the distributions, including tax consequences, will be provided to our stockholders at least annually. Each stockholder participating in the distribution reinvestment plan will have an opportunity to withdraw from the plan at least annually after receiving this information.

 

Share Repurchase Program

 

Our share repurchase program may provide an opportunity for our stockholders to have shares of our common stock repurchased, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, at a price equal to or at a discount from the current offering price per share for the shares being repurchased. No shares can be repurchased under our share repurchase program until after the first anniversary of the date of purchase of such shares; provided, however, that this holding period shall not apply to repurchases requested within two years after the death or qualifying disability of a stockholder.

 

Prior to the date we publish an estimated value per share of our common stock, the purchase price for shares repurchased under our share repurchase program will be at a price equal to, or at a discount from, the purchase price paid for the shares being repurchased. The discount will vary based upon the length of time that a stockholder has held the shares of our common stock subject to repurchase, as described in the following table:

 

Share Purchase Anniversary   Repurchase Price as a Percentage of Purchase Price  
       
Less than One year     No Repurchase Allowed
One year     92.5 %
Two years     95.0 %
Three years     97.5 %
Four years and longer     100.0 %

 

After we begin providing an estimated per share value, we will repurchase shares under our share repurchase program for the lesser of the price paid for the shares by the stockholders where shares are being repurchased or 95% of the estimated per share value as determined by our board of directors. From and after the valuation date, our board of directors will determine an estimated value per share of our common stock.

Unless the shares are being repurchased in connection with a stockholder’s death or qualifying disability, we may not repurchase shares unless you have held the shares for one year. Repurchase requests made within two years of death or “qualifying disability” of a stockholder will be repurchased at a price equal to the then-current public offering price or, in the case of repurchases following the conclusion of our public offering, at a price based upon our current per-share estimated value and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. The board of directors, in its sole discretion, shall make the determination of whether a stockholder has a qualifying disability after receiving written notice from the stockholder. Generally, the board of directors will consider a stockholder to have a qualifying disability if the stockholder is (1) unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, or (2) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the stockholder’s employees. We must receive written notice within 180 days after such stockholder’s qualifying disability.

 

We are not obligated to repurchase shares of our common stock under the share repurchase program. Notwithstanding the procedures discussed below, our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, accept or reject any share repurchase request made by any stockholder at any time.

 

To the extent we determine to accept share repurchase requests from our stockholders, repurchase of shares of our common stock will be made quarterly upon written request to us at least 15 days prior to the end of the applicable quarter. Repurchase requests will be honored approximately 30 days following the end of the applicable quarter. We refer to the last day of the applicable quarter as the “repurchase date.” Stockholders may withdraw their repurchase request at any time up to three business days prior to the repurchase date.

 

We cannot guarantee that the funds set aside for the share repurchase program will be sufficient to accommodate all requests made in any quarter. In the event that we do not have sufficient funds available to repurchase all of the shares of our common stock for which repurchase requests have been submitted in any quarter, we plan to repurchase the shares of our common stock on a pro rata basis on the repurchase date. In addition, if we repurchase less than all of the shares subject to a repurchase request in any quarter, with respect to any unrepurchased shares, you can (1) withdraw your request for repurchase or (2) ask that we honor your request in a future quarter, if any, when such repurchases can be made pursuant to the limitations of the share repurchase when sufficient funds are available. Such pending requests will be honored on a pro rata basis.

 

To the extent our board of directors determines to accept share repurchase requests from our stockholders, we presently intend to limit the number of shares to be repurchased during any calendar year to the lesser of (1) 5.0% of the weighted average number of shares of our common stock outstanding during the prior calendar year and (2) the number of shares of our common stock that could be repurchased with the net proceeds from the sale of shares under the distribution reinvestment plan in the prior calendar year plus such additional funds as may be reserved for share repurchase by our board of directors. Shares subject to a repurchase request upon the death of a stockholder will be included in calculating the maximum number of shares that may be repurchased; however, the volume limitation will not apply to repurchases upon the death of a stockholder. There is no fee in connection with a repurchase of shares of our common stock.

 

The aggregate amount of repurchases under our share repurchase program is not expected to exceed the aggregate proceeds received from the sale of shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. However, to the extent that the aggregate proceeds received from the sale of shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan are not sufficient to fund repurchase requests pursuant to the limitations outlined above, the board of directors may, in its sole discretion, choose to use other sources of funds to repurchase shares of our common stock. Such sources of funds could include cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from liquidations of securities investments as of the end of the applicable month, to the extent that such funds are not otherwise dedicated to a particular use, such as working capital, cash distributions to stockholders or purchases of real estate assets. If funds available for our share repurchase program are not sufficient to accommodate all requests, shares will be repurchased as follows: first, pro rata as to repurchases upon the death or disability of a stockholder; next pro rata as to repurchases to stockholders subject to a mandatory distribution requirement under such stockholder’s IRA; and, finally, pro rata as to all other repurchase requests.

 

In addition, the board of directors may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend, or terminate the share repurchase program at any time if it determines that the funds available to fund the share repurchase program are needed for other business or operational purposes or that amendment, suspension or termination of the share repurchase program is in the best interest of our stockholders. If the board of directors decides to amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program, we will provide stockholders with no less than 30 days’ prior written notice. Therefore, you may not have the opportunity to make a repurchase request prior to any potential termination of our share repurchase program.

Business Combinations

 

Under the MGCL, business combinations between a Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder or the interested stockholder’s affiliate are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. For this purpose, the term “business combinations” includes mergers, consolidations, share exchanges or, in circumstances specified in the MGCL, asset transfers and issuances or reclassifications of equity securities. An “interested stockholder” is defined for this purpose as: (1) any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock; or (2) an affiliate or associate of the corporation who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding stock of the corporation. A person is not an interested stockholder under the MGCL if the board of directors approved in advance the transaction by which the person otherwise would become an interested stockholder. However, in approving the transaction, the board of directors may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of the approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the board of directors.

 

After the five-year prohibition, any such business combination between the corporation and an interested stockholder generally must be recommended by the board of directors of the corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at least: (1) 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation and (2) two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation other than shares of stock held by the interested stockholder or its affiliate with whom the business combination is to be effected, or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder, voting together as a single voting group.

 

These super majority vote requirements do not apply if the corporation’s common stockholders receive a minimum price, as defined under the MGCL, for their shares of common stock in the form of cash or other consideration in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares of common stock.

 

None of these provisions of the MGCL will apply, however, to business combinations that are approved or exempted by the board of directors of the corporation prior to the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Pursuant to the business combination statute, our board of directors has exempted any business combination involving us and any person. Consequently, the five-year prohibition and the super majority vote requirements will not apply to business combinations between us and any person. As a result, any person may be able to enter into business combinations with us that may not be in the best interest of our stockholders, without compliance with the super majority vote requirements and other provisions of the statute.

 

Should our board of directors opt into the business combination statute in the future, it may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer.

 

Business Combination with Our Advisor

 

Many REITs that are listed on a national securities exchange or included for quotation on an over-the-counter market are self-administered, which means that they employ persons or agents to perform all significant management functions. The costs to perform these management functions are internal, rather than external, and no third-party fees, such as advisory fees, are paid by the REIT. We will consider becoming a self-administered REIT once our assets and income are, in our board of directors’ view, of sufficient size such that internalizing some or all of the management functions performed by our advisor is in our best interests and in the best interests of our stockholders.

 

If our board of directors should make this determination in the future and seeks to pursue internalizing our management functions through a business combination with our advisor, or by hiring our advisor’s personnel, our board of directors will form a special committee comprised entirely of our independent directors to consider and evaluate any such transaction. Unless and until definitive documentation is executed, we will not be obligated to complete a business combination with our advisor. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, we are not allowed to solicit or hire any of our advisor’s personnel without our advisor’s prior written consent for a one-year period following the termination of the advisory agreement.

 

We do not intend to pay any compensation or other remuneration to our advisor or its affiliates in connection with any internalization transaction. Subject to the approval of our board of directors, to the extent our advisor or our sponsor performs substantial services or incurs costs in connection with the internalization, we intend to pay our advisor or our sponsor for such services and reimburse our sponsor and its affiliates for any and all costs and expenses reasonably associated with the internalization.

 

Control Share Acquisitions

 

The MGCL provides that control shares of a Maryland corporation acquired in a control share acquisition have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Shares of common stock owned by the acquiror, by officers or by employees who are directors of the corporation are not entitled to vote on the matter. “Control shares” are voting shares of stock that, if aggregated with all other shares of stock owned by the acquiror or with respect to which the acquiror has the right to vote or to direct the voting of, other than solely by virtue of a revocable proxy, would entitle the acquiror to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of voting powers:

 

89
 

 

one-tenth or more but less than one-third;

 

one-third or more but less than a majority; or

 

a majority or more of all voting power.

 

Control shares do not include shares of stock the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval or shares acquired directly from the corporation. Except as otherwise specified in the statute, a “control share acquisition” means the acquisition of issued and outstanding control shares. Once a person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition has undertaken to pay expenses and has satisfied other required conditions, the person may compel the board of directors to call a special meeting of stockholders to be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the shares of stock. If no request for a meeting is made, the corporation may itself present the question at any stockholders meeting. If voting rights are not approved for the control shares at the meeting or if the acquiring person does not deliver an “acquiring person statement” for the control shares as required by the statute, the corporation may repurchase any or all of the control shares for their fair value, except for control shares for which voting rights have previously been approved. Fair value is to be determined for this purpose without regard to the absence of voting rights for the control shares, and is to be determined as of the date of the last control share acquisition or of any meeting of stockholders at which the voting rights for control shares are considered and not approved.

 

If voting rights for control shares are approved at a stockholders’ meeting and the acquiror becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of the shares of stock as determined for purposes of these appraisal rights may not be less than the highest price per share paid in the control share acquisition. Some of the limitations and restrictions otherwise applicable to the exercise of dissenters’ rights do not apply in the context of a control share acquisition.

 

The control share acquisition statute does not apply to shares of stock acquired in a merger or consolidation or on a stock exchange if the corporation is a party to the transaction or to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws of the corporation. As permitted by the MGCL, we have provided in our bylaws that the control share provisions of the MGCL will not apply to any acquisition by any person of shares of our stock, but our board of directors retains the discretion to opt into these provisions in the future.

 

Advance Notice of Director Nominations and New Business

 

Our bylaws provide that with respect to an annual meeting of stockholders, nominations of individuals for election to our board of directors and the proposal of business to be considered by a stockholder may be made only (1) pursuant to our notice of the meeting, (2) by or at the direction of our board of directors or (3) by a stockholder who is a stockholder of record both at the time of giving the advance notice required by our bylaws and at the time of the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated or on any such other business and who has complied with the advance notice procedures of our bylaws. With respect to special meetings of stockholders, only the business specified in our notice of the meeting may be brought before the meeting. Nominations of individuals for election to our board of directors at a special meeting may be made only (1) by or at the direction of our board of directors or (2) provided that the special meeting has been called in accordance with our bylaws for the purpose of electing directors, by a stockholder who is a stockholder of record both at the time of giving the advance notice required by our bylaws and at the time of the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated and who has complied with the advance notice provisions of our bylaws.

 

Subtitle 8

 

Subtitle 8 of Title 3 of the MGCL, or Subtitle 8, permits the board of directors of a Maryland corporation with a class of equity securities registered under the Exchange Act and at least three independent directors to elect to be subject, by provision in its charter or bylaws or a resolution of its board of directors and notwithstanding any contrary provision in its charter or bylaws, to any or all of five provisions:

 

a classified board of directors;

 

a two-thirds vote requirement for removing a director;

 

a requirement that the number of directors be fixed only by vote of the directors;

 

a requirement that vacancies on the board of directors be filled only by the remaining directors and (if the board is classified) for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred; and

 

a majority requirement for the calling of a stockholder-requested special meeting of stockholders.

 

We have elected to provide that, at such time as we are eligible to make a Subtitle 8 election, vacancies on our board of directors may be filled only by the remaining directors and for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurred. Through provisions in our charter and bylaws unrelated to Subtitle 8, we vest in our board of directors the exclusive power to fix the number of directorships; provided that the number is not fewer than three. We have not elected to be subject to the other provisions of Subtitle 8.

Restrictions on Roll-Up Transactions

 

In connection with any proposed “roll-up transaction” (as defined below) involving us and the issuance of securities of an entity as defined below that would be created or would survive after the successful completion of the roll-up transaction, an appraisal of all of our assets will be obtained from a competent independent appraiser. In order to qualify as an independent appraiser for this purpose, the person or entity must have no material current or prior business or personal relationship with our advisor or directors and must be engaged to a substantial extent in the business of rendering opinions regarding the value of assets of the type held by us. If the appraisal will be included in a prospectus used to offer the securities of a roll-up entity, the appraisal shall be filed with the SEC and, if applicable, the states in which registration of such securities is sought as an exhibit to the registration statement for the offering. Our assets will be appraised on a consistent basis, and the appraisal will be based on the evaluation of all relevant information and will indicate the value of the assets as of a date immediately prior to the announcement of the proposed roll-up transaction. The appraisal will assume an orderly liquidation of our assets over a 12-month period. The terms of the engagement of the independent appraiser will clearly state that the engagement is for our benefit and the benefit of our stockholders. We will include a summary of the appraisal, indicating all material assumptions underlying the appraisal, in a report to the stockholders in connection with any proposed roll-up transaction.

 

A “roll-up transaction” is a transaction involving the acquisition, merger, conversion or consolidation, directly or indirectly, of us and the issuance of securities of another entity, which we refer to as a “roll-up entity,” that would be created or would survive after the successful completion of such transaction. The term roll-up transaction does not include:

 

a transaction involving our securities that have been for at least 12 months listed on a national securities exchange; or

 

a transaction involving our conversion to a corporate, trust, or association form if, as a consequence of the transaction, there will be no significant adverse change in any of the following: common stockholder voting rights; the term of our existence; compensation to our advisor; or our investment objectives.

 

In connection with a proposed roll-up transaction, the person sponsoring the roll-up transaction must offer to stockholders who vote against the proposal the choice of:

 

(1)accepting the securities of a roll-up entity offered in the proposed roll-up transaction; or

 

(2)one of the following:

 

(a)remaining as stockholders and preserving their interests in us on the same terms and conditions as existed previously; or

 

(b)receiving cash in an amount equal to the stockholder’s pro rata share of the appraised value of our net assets.

 

We are prohibited from participating in any proposed roll-up transaction:

 

that would result in common stockholders having voting rights in a roll-up entity that are less than those provided in our charter, including rights with respect to the election and removal of directors, annual and special meetings, amendment of our charter and our dissolution;

 

that includes provisions that would operate as a material impediment to, or frustration of, the accumulation of shares by any purchaser of the securities of the roll-up entity, except to the minimum extent necessary to preserve the tax status of such roll-up entity, or which would limit the ability of an investor to exercise the voting rights of its securities of the roll-up entity on the basis of the number of our shares held by that investor;

 

in which our common stockholders’ rights to access the records of the roll-up entity will be less than those provided for in our charter and described above in “—Meetings, Special Voting Requirements and Access to Records;” or

 

in which we would bear any of the costs of the roll-up transaction if our common stockholders reject the roll-up transaction.

 

Reports to Stockholders

 

Our charter requires that we prepare an annual report and deliver it to our stockholders within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year. Among the matters that must be included in the annual report are:

 

financial statements that are prepared in accordance with GAAP and are audited by our independent registered public accounting firm;

 

the ratio of the costs of raising capital during the year to the capital raised;

 

the aggregate amount of advisory fees and the aggregate amount of other fees paid to our advisor and any affiliate of our advisor by us or third parties doing business with us during the year;

 

91
 

 

our total operating expenses for the year, stated as a percentage of our average invested assets and as a percentage of our net income;

 

a report from the independent directors that our policies are in the best interests of our stockholders and the basis for such determination; and

 

separately stated, full disclosure of all material terms, factors and circumstances surrounding any and all transactions involving us and our advisor, a director or any affiliate thereof during the year; and the independent directors are specifically charged with a duty to examine and comment in the report on the fairness of the transactions.

 

Under the Securities Act, we must update this prospectus upon the occurrence of certain events, such as property acquisitions. We will file updated prospectuses and prospectus supplements with the SEC. We are also subject to the informational reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and accordingly, we will file annual reports, quarterly reports, proxy statements, when applicable, and other information with the SEC. In addition, we will provide you directly with periodic updates, including prospectuses, prospectus supplements, and annual and quarterly reports.

 

You may authorize us to provide such periodic updates, electronically by so indicating on your subscription agreement, or by sending us instructions in writing in a form acceptable to us to receive such periodic updates electronically. Unless you elect in writing to receive such periodic updates electronically, all documents will be provided in paper form by mail. You must have internet access to use electronic delivery. While we impose no additional charge for this service, there may be potential costs associated with electronic delivery, such as online charges. The periodic updates will be available on our website. You may access and print all periodic updates provided through this service. As periodic updates become available, we will notify you by sending you an e-mail message that will include instructions on how to retrieve the periodic updates. If our e-mail notification is returned to us as “undeliverable,” we will contact you to obtain your updated e-mail address. If we are unable to obtain a valid e-mail address for you, we will resume sending a paper copy by regular U.S. mail to your address of record. You may revoke your consent for electronic delivery at any time and we will resume sending you a paper copy of all periodic updates. However, in order for us to be properly notified, your revocation must be given to us a reasonable time before electronic delivery has commenced. We will provide you with paper copies at any time upon request. Such request will not constitute revocation of your consent to receive periodic updates electronically.

 

Estimated Value Per Share

 

In addition to the information described under “— Reports to Stockholders” above, from and after 150 days following the second anniversary of breaking escrow in this offering, our advisor or another firm we choose for that purpose will establish an estimated value per share of our common stock that we will disclose in a report under the Exchange Act and in each annual report thereafter. Our estimated value per share may not be indicative of the price our stockholders would receive if they sold our shares in an arm’s-length transaction, if our shares were actively traded or if we were liquidated. In addition, the proceeds received from a liquidation of our assets may be substantially less than the offering price of our shares because certain fees and costs associated with this offering may be added to our estimated value per share in connection with changing the offering price of our shares.

 

Changes to Offering Price

 

Our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, from time to time, change the price at which we offer shares to the public in the primary offering or pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan based upon changes in our estimated value per share, as calculated by our advisor, and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. In the event that we revise the offering price in the primary offering or pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, we will disclose the factors considered by our board of directors in determining such revised offering price in a supplement to this prospectus. The factors considered by our board of directors in determining to revise the offering price may include, in addition to changes in the value of the assets held in our portfolio, changes to our estimated value per share, our historical and anticipated results of operations and financial condition, our current and anticipated distribution payments, yields and offering prices of other real estate companies we deem to be substantially similar to us, our current and anticipated capital and debt structure, the recommendations and assessment of our prospective investments made by our advisor and the expected execution of our investment and operating strategies. In connection with revising the offering price, we will disclose the various factors considered by our board of directors in making such determination and the general trends or circumstances relating to the factors considered by our board of directors in making their determination.

 

Exclusive Jurisdiction for Certain Claims

 

Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, or, if that Court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division, will be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of our company, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of any duty owed by any of our directors or officers or employees to us or to our stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors or officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the MGCL or our charter or bylaws or (d) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors or officers or employees that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

General

 

The following is a summary of the material United States federal income tax considerations associated with an investment in our common stock that may be relevant to a potential stockholder. The statements made in this section of the prospectus are based upon the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, as currently applicable, currently published administrative positions of the Internal Revenue Service and judicial decisions, all of which are subject to change, either prospectively or retroactively. We cannot assure you that any changes will not modify the conclusions expressed in counsel’s opinions described herein. This summary does not constitute legal or tax advice. Moreover, this summary does not deal with all tax aspects that might be relevant to you, as a prospective stockholder, in light of your personal circumstances, nor does it deal with particular types of stockholders that are subject to special treatment under the federal income tax laws, such as insurance companies, holders whose shares are acquired through the exercise of share options or otherwise as compensation, holders whose shares are acquired through the distribution reinvestment plan or who intend to sell their shares under the share repurchase program, tax-exempt organizations (except as provided below), financial institutions or broker-dealers, or non-U.S. corporations or persons who are not citizens or residents of the United States (except as provided below). The Internal Revenue Code provisions governing the federal income tax treatment of REITs and their stockholders are highly technical and complex, and this summary is qualified in its entirety by the express language of applicable Internal Revenue Code provisions, Treasury Regulations and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof.

 

We urge you, as a prospective stockholder, to consult your tax advisor regarding the specific tax consequences to you of a purchase of shares of common stock, ownership and sale of shares of common stock and of our election to be taxed as a REIT, including the federal, state, local, non-U.S. and other tax consequences of such purchase, ownership, sale and election and of potential changes in applicable tax laws.

 

REIT Qualification

 

We intend to elect to be taxable as a REIT commencing with our taxable year ending December 31 of the year in which our escrow period concludes and we issue shares to investors. This section of the prospectus discusses the laws governing the tax treatment of a REIT and its stockholders. These laws are highly technical and complex.

 

In connection with this offering, we have received an opinion from Alston & Bird LLP that we have been organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, and our proposed method of operation will enable us to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT.

 

It must be emphasized that the opinion of Alston & Bird LLP is based on various assumptions relating to our organization and operation and is conditioned upon representations and covenants made by us regarding our organization, assets and the past, present and future conduct of our business operations.

 

While we intend to operate so that we will qualify to be taxed as a REIT, given the highly complex nature of the rules governing REITs, the ongoing importance of factual determinations and the possibility of future changes in our circumstances, no assurance can be given by Alston & Bird LLP or by us that we will so qualify for any particular year. Alston & Bird LLP will have no obligation to advise us or the holders of our common stock of any subsequent change in the matters stated, represented or assumed in the opinion, or of any subsequent change in the applicable law. You should be aware that opinions of counsel are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or any court, and no assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service will not challenge the conclusions set forth in such opinions.

 

Qualification and taxation as a REIT depends on our ability to meet on a continuing basis, through actual operating results, distribution levels and diversity of share ownership, various qualification requirements imposed upon REITs by the Internal Revenue Code, the compliance with which will not be reviewed by Alston & Bird LLP. Our ability to qualify as a REIT also requires that we satisfy certain asset tests, some of which depend upon the fair market values of assets directly or indirectly owned by us. Such values may not be susceptible to a precise determination. While we intend to continue to operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify as a REIT, no assurance can be given that the actual results of our operations for any taxable year will satisfy such requirements.

 

Taxation of Moody National REIT II, Inc.

 

If we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income taxes on that portion of our ordinary income or capital gain that we distribute currently to our stockholders, because the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code generally allow a REIT to deduct dividends paid to its stockholders. This ability substantially eliminates the federal “double taxation” on earnings (taxation at both the corporate level and stockholder level) that usually results from an investment in a corporation. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, however, we will be subject to federal income taxation as follows:

 

93
 

 

We will be taxed at regular corporate rates on our undistributed REIT taxable income, including undistributed net capital gains.

 

Under some circumstances, we may be subject to “alternative minimum tax.”

 

If we have net income from prohibited transactions (which are, in general, sales or other dispositions of property, other than foreclosure property, held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business), the income will be subject to a 100% tax.

 

If we elect to treat property that we acquire in connection with a foreclosure of a mortgage loan or certain leasehold terminations as “foreclosure property,” we may avoid the 100% prohibited transaction tax on gain from a resale of that property (if the sale would otherwise constitute a prohibited transaction), but the income from the sale or operation of the property may be subject to corporate income tax at the highest applicable rate (currently 35%).

 

If we fail to satisfy either the 75% or 95% gross income tests described below but have nonetheless maintained our qualification as a REIT because certain conditions have been met, we will be subject to a 100% tax on an amount based on the magnitude of the failure adjusted to reflect the profit margin associated with our gross income.

 

If we should fail to satisfy the asset or other requirements applicable to REITs (other than failure to satisfy the gross income tests), as described below, yet nonetheless maintain our qualification as a REIT because there is reasonable cause for the failure and other applicable requirements are met, we may be subject to an excise tax. In that case, the amount of the tax will be at least $50,000 per failure, and, in the case of certain asset test failures, will be determined as the amount of net income generated by the assets in question multiplied by the highest corporate tax rate (currently 35%).

 

If we fail to distribute during each year at least the sum of (1) 85% of our REIT ordinary income for the year, (2) 95% of our REIT capital gain net income for such year and (3) any undistributed taxable income from prior periods, we will be subject to a 4% excise tax on the excess of the required distribution over the sum of (a) the amounts actually distributed plus (b) retained amounts on which corporate tax is paid by us.

 

We may elect to retain and pay tax on our net long-term capital gain. In that case, a U.S. stockholder would be taxed on its proportionate share of our undistributed long-term capital gain and would receive a credit or refund for its proportionate share of the tax we paid.

 

If we acquire an appreciated asset from a C corporation (a corporation generally subject to corporate tax) in a transaction in which we acquire a basis in such asset that is determined by reference to the C corporation’s basis in such asset and we subsequently recognize gain on the disposition of the asset during the ten-year period beginning on the date on which we acquired the asset, then all or a portion of the gain may be subject to tax at the highest regular corporate rate, unless the C corporation made an election to treat the asset as if it were sold for its fair market value at the time of our acquisition.

 

Income earned by any of our domestic TRSs will be subject to tax at regular corporate rates.

 

We and our subsidiaries, including our TRSs, may be subject to state and local income, property and transfer taxes, such as mortgage recording taxes.

 

Requirements for Qualification as a REIT

 

In order for us to qualify as a REIT, we must meet and continue to meet the requirements discussed below relating to our organization, sources of income, nature of assets and distributions of income to our stockholders.

 

Organizational Requirements

 

In order to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, we must:

 

(i)be a corporation, trust or association that would be taxable as a domestic corporation but for the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code;

 

(ii)elect to be taxed as a REIT and satisfy relevant filing and other administrative requirements for REITs;

 

(iii)be managed by one or more trustees or directors;

 

(iv)have our beneficial ownership evidenced by transferable shares;

 

(v)not be a financial institution or an insurance company subject to special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code;

 

(vi)use the calendar year as its taxable year for federal income tax purposes;

 

94
 

 

(vii)have at least 100 stockholders for at least 335 days of each taxable year of 12 months or during a proportionate part of a taxable year of less than 12 months; and

 

(viii)not be closely held as defined for purposes of the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

We would be treated as closely held if, during the last half of any taxable year, more than 50% in value of our outstanding capital shares is owned, directly or indirectly through the application of certain attribution rules, by five or fewer individuals, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include a supplemental unemployment compensation benefit plan, a private foundation or a portion of a trust permanently set aside or used exclusively for charitable purposes. Items (vii) and (viii) above will not apply until after the first taxable year for which we elect to be taxed as a REIT. If we comply with Treasury Regulations that provide procedures for ascertaining the actual ownership of our common stock for each taxable year and we did not know, and with the exercise of reasonable diligence would not have known, that we failed to meet item (viii) above for a taxable year, we will be treated as having met item (viii) for that year. In addition, our charter contains restrictions regarding ownership and transfer of shares of our common stock that are intended to assist us in continuing to satisfy the share ownership requirements in items (vii) and (viii) above. Our taxable year is the calendar year, which satisfies item (vi) above.

 

Operational Requirements - Generally

 

For purposes of the requirements described herein, any corporation that is a qualified REIT subsidiary of ours will not be treated as a corporation separate from us and all assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit of our qualified REIT subsidiaries will be treated as our assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit. A qualified REIT subsidiary is a corporation, other than a taxable REIT subsidiary (as described below under “—Operational Requirements—Asset Tests”), all of the capital shares of which is owned by a REIT (directly or through one or more entities that are disregarded for federal income tax purposes).

 

In the case of a REIT that is a partner in an entity treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, the REIT is treated as owning its proportionate share of the assets of the partnership and as earning its allocable share of the gross income of the partnership for purposes of the requirements described herein. In addition, the character of the assets and gross income of the partnership will retain the same character in the hands of the REIT for purposes of the REIT requirements, including the asset and gross income tests described below. As a result, our proportionate share of the assets, liabilities and items of income of our operating partnership and of any other partnership, joint venture, limited liability company or other entity treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes in which we or our operating partnership have an interest will be treated as our assets, liabilities and items of income.

 

A REIT generally may jointly elect with a subsidiary corporation, whether or not wholly owned, to treat the subsidiary corporation as a TRS. A TRS cannot directly or indirectly operate or manage a lodging facility or a health care facility or directly or indirectly provide to any other person rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated. If one of our TRSs owns, directly or indirectly, more than 35%, by voting power or value, of the outstanding securities, other than certain straight-debt securities, of another corporation, such other corporation will also be treated as our TRS. A TRS or other taxable corporation is not ignored for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, such an entity would generally be subject to corporate federal, state, local and income and franchise tax on its earnings, which may reduce the cash flow available to us and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

 

A REIT is not treated as holding the assets of a TRS or other taxable subsidiary corporation or as receiving any income that the subsidiary earns. Rather, the stock issued by the subsidiary is an asset in the hands of the REIT, and the REIT recognizes as income the dividends, if any, that it receives from the subsidiary. Because we would not include the assets and income of a TRS in determining our compliance with the REIT income and asset tests, we may use TRSs to undertake indirectly activities that the REIT rules might otherwise preclude us from engaging in directly or through pass-through subsidiaries (e.g., activities that give rise to certain categories of income such as management fees).

 

Certain restrictions imposed on TRSs are intended to ensure that such entities will be subject to appropriate levels of federal income taxation. First, if a TRS has a debt to equity ratio as of the close of the taxable year exceeding 1.5 to 1, it may not deduct interest expense accrued in such year to an affiliated REIT to the extent that its net interest expense exceeds 50% of the TRS’s “adjusted taxable income” for that year. Disallowed interest may be carried forward and deducted to the extent 50% of the REITs adjusted taxable income exceeds its net interest expense in a subsequent year. In addition, if amounts are paid to a REIT or deducted by a TRS due to transactions between a REIT, its lessees or a TRS, that exceed the amount that would be paid to or deducted by a party in an arm’s-length transaction, the REIT generally will be subject to a tax equal to 100% of such excess.

 

We will file a TRS election with our subsidiary, whose wholly owned subsidiaries will be lessees of our hotel properties. We may form additional TRSs in the future.

Operational Requirements—Gross Income Tests

 

To qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy annually two gross income requirements.

 

At least 75% of our gross income, excluding gross income from prohibited transactions, for each taxable year must be derived directly or indirectly from investments relating to real property or mortgages on real property and from other specified sources, including qualified temporary investment income, as described below. Gross income includes “rents from real property,” dividends received from other REITs, interest income derived from mortgage loans secured by real property (including certain types of mortgage-backed securities) and gains from the sale of real estate assets. This test is the 75% Gross Income Test.

 

At least 95% of our gross income, excluding gross income from prohibited transactions, for each taxable year must be derived from the sources described above and from dividends, interest and gains from the sale or disposition of shares or securities or from any combination of the foregoing. This test is the 95% Gross Income Test.

 

Rents from Real Property

 

The rents we will receive or be deemed to receive will qualify as “rents from real property” for purposes of satisfying the gross income requirements for a REIT only if all of the following conditions are met:

 

The amount of rent received from a customer must not be based in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person but may be based on a fixed percentage or percentages of gross receipts or sales.

 

In general, neither we nor an owner of 10% or more of the shares of our common stock may directly or constructively own 10% or more of a tenant, which we refer to as a “Related Party Tenant,” other than a TRS. If the tenant is a TRS and the property is a “qualified lodging facility,” such TRS may not directly or indirectly operate or manage such property. Instead, the property must be operated on behalf of the TRS by a person who qualifies as an “independent contractor” and who is, or is related to a person who is, actively engaged in the trade or business of operating lodging facilities for any person unrelated to us and the TRS (such operator, an “eligible independent contractor”) at the time the TRS enters into a management agreement with such “eligible independent contractor.”

 

If rent is partly attributable to personal property leased in connection with a lease of real property, the portion of the total rent that is attributable to the personal property will not qualify as rents from real property if it exceeds 15% of the total rent received under the lease.

 

We normally must not operate or manage the property or furnish or render services to tenants, other than through an “independent contractor” who is adequately compensated and from whom we do not derive any income or through a TRS, provided that such services do not consist of managing or operating lodging facilities. A REIT may provide services with respect to its properties, and the income derived therefrom will qualify as “rents from real property,” if the services are “usually or customarily rendered” in connection with the rental of space only and are not otherwise considered “rendered to the occupant” primarily for its convenience. Even if the services provided by us with respect to a property are impermissible tenant services, the income derived therefrom that is not attributable to the impermissible tenant services will qualify as “rents from real property” if the income attributable to the impermissible tenant services does not exceed one percent of all amounts received or accrued with respect to that property.

 

Revenues from operating hotels are not qualifying income for purposes of the 75% or 95% Gross Income Tests. We must lease our hotel properties to generate rents that may be qualifying income for purposes of either the 75% or the 95% Gross Income Test. Our TRS lessee may lease (directly or through subsidiaries) any hotel properties from the operating partnership (or its affiliates), provided that the hotel property is a “qualified lodging facility” and is managed by an “eligible independent contractor.” We also may lease a hotel property to an unrelated lessee.

 

In order for the rent paid under the leases to constitute “rents from real property,” the leases must be respected as true leases for federal income tax purposes and not be treated as service contracts, joint ventures or some other type of arrangement. The determination of whether our leases are true leases depends on an analysis of all the surrounding facts and circumstances. In making such a determination, relevant factors may include the following:

 

the intent of the parties;

 

the form of the agreement;

 

the degree of control over the property that is retained by the property owner (for example, whether the lessee has substantial control over the operation of the property or whether the lessee was required simply to use its best efforts to perform its obligations under the agreement); and

 

96
 

 

the extent to which the property owner retains the risk of loss with respect to the property (for example, whether the lessee bears the risk of increases in operating expenses or the risk of damage to the property) or the potential for economic gain with respect to the property.

 

In addition, a contract that purports to be a service contract or a partnership agreement is treated instead as a lease of property for federal income tax purposes if the contract is properly treated as such, taking into account all relevant factors. Since the determination of whether a service contract should be treated as a lease is inherently factual, the presence or absence of any single factor may not be dispositive in every case.

 

We intend to structure our leases so that they qualify as true leases for federal income tax purposes. In particular, we will attempt to structure our leases so that:

 

the lessor and the lessee intend for their relationship to be that of a lessor and lessee, and such relationship is documented by a lease agreement;

 

the lessee has the right to exclusive possession and use and quiet enjoyment of the hotels covered by the lease during the term of the lease;

 

the lessee bears the cost of, and is responsible for, day-to-day maintenance and repair of the hotels other than the cost of certain capital expenditures, and dictates through hotel managers that are eligible independent contractors, who work for the lessee during the terms of the lease, how the hotels are operated and maintained;

 

the lessee bears all of the costs and expenses of operating the hotels, including the cost of any inventory used in their operation, during the term of the lease, other than real estate and personal property taxes and the cost of certain furniture, fixtures and equipment, and certain capital expenditures;

 

the lessee benefits from any savings and bears the burdens of any increases in the costs of operating the hotels during the term of the lease;

 

in the event of damage or destruction to a hotel, the lessee is at economic risk because it bears the economic burden of the loss in income from operation of the hotels subject to the right, in certain circumstances, to the abatement of rent during the period of repair and restoration to the extent the hotel is not tenantable;

 

the lessee generally indemnifies the lessor against all liabilities imposed on the lessor during the term of the lease by reason of (i) injury to persons or damage to property occurring at the hotels or (ii) the lessee’s use, management, maintenance or repair of the hotels;

 

the lessee is obligated to pay, at a minimum, substantial base rent for the period of use of the hotels under the lease;

 

the lessee stands to incur substantial losses or reap substantial gains depending on how successfully it, through the hotel managers, who work for the lessees during the terms of the leases, operates the hotels;

 

each lease that we have entered into, at the time we entered into it (or at any time that any such lease is subsequently renewed or extended) enables the tenant to derive a meaningful profit, after expenses and taking into account the risks associated with the lease, from the operation of the hotels during the term of its leases; and

 

upon termination of each lease, the applicable hotel is expected to have a substantial remaining useful life and substantial remaining fair market value.

 

Investors should be aware that there are no controlling Treasury regulations, published rulings or judicial decisions involving leases with terms substantially the same as our leases that discuss whether such leases constitute true leases for federal income tax purposes. If our leases are characterized as service contracts or partnership agreements, rather than as true leases, or disregarded altogether for tax purposes, part or all of the payments that our operating partnership and its subsidiaries receive from the TRS lessees may not be considered rent or may not otherwise satisfy the various requirements for qualification as “rents from real property.” In that case, we would not be able to satisfy either the 75% or 95% Gross Income Test and, as a result, would lose our REIT status unless we qualify for relief.

 

As described above, in order for the rent that we receive to constitute “rents from real property,” several other requirements must be satisfied. One requirement is that percentage rent must not be based in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person. Percentage rent, however, will qualify as “rents from real property” if it is based on percentages of receipts or sales and the percentages:

 

are fixed at the time the percentage leases are entered into;

 

are not renegotiated during the term of the percentage leases in a manner that has the effect of basing percentage rent on income or profits; and

 

conform with normal business practice.

 

97
 

 

More generally, percentage rent will not qualify as “rents from real property” if, considering the leases and all the surrounding circumstances, the arrangement does not conform with normal business practice, but is in reality used as a means of basing the percentage rent on income or profits.

 

Second, we must not own, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the stock or the assets or net profits of any lessee (a “related party tenant”), other than a TRS. The constructive ownership rules generally provide that, if 10% or more in value of our shares is owned, directly or indirectly, by or for any person, we are considered as owning the stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for such person. We currently intend to lease all of our hotels to TRS lessees. In addition, our declaration of trust prohibits transfers of our shares of beneficial interest that would cause us to own actually or constructively, 10% or more of the ownership interests in any non-TRS lessee. Based on the foregoing, we should never own, actually or constructively, 10% or more of any lessee other than a TRS. However, because the constructive ownership rules are broad and it is not possible to monitor continually direct and indirect transfers of our shares of beneficial interest, no absolute assurance can be given that such transfers or other events of which we have no knowledge will not cause us to own constructively 10% or more of a lessee (or a subtenant, in which case only rent attributable to the subtenant is disqualified) other than a TRS at some future date.

 

As described above, we may own up to 100% of the capital stock of one or more TRSs. A TRS is a fully taxable corporation that generally may engage in any business, including the provision of customary or noncustomary services to tenants of its parent REIT, except that a TRS may not directly or indirectly operate or manage any lodging facilities or health care facilities or provide rights to any brand name under which any lodging or health care facility is operated, unless such rights are provided to an “eligible independent contractor” to operate or manage a lodging or health care facility if such rights are held by the TRS as a franchisee, licensee, or in a similar capacity and such hotel is either owned by the TRS or leased to the TRS by its parent REIT. A TRS will not be considered to operate or manage a qualified lodging facility solely because the TRS directly or indirectly possesses a license, permit, or similar instrument enabling it to do so. Additionally, a TRS that employs individuals working at a qualified lodging facility outside the United States will not be considered to operate or manage a qualified lodging facility located outside of the United States, as long as an “eligible independent contractor” is responsible for the daily supervision and direction of such individuals on behalf of the TRS pursuant to a management agreement or similar service contract. However, rent that we receive from a TRS with respect to any property will qualify as “rents from real property” as long as the property is a “qualified lodging facility” and such property is operated on behalf of the TRS by a person from whom we derive no income who is adequately compensated, who does not, directly or through its shareholders, own more than 35% of our shares, taking into account certain ownership attribution rules, and who is, or is related to a person who is, actively engaged in the trade or business of operating “qualified lodging facilities” for any person unrelated to us and the TRS lessee (an “eligible independent contractor”) at the time the TRS enters into a management agreement with such “eligible independent contractor.” A “qualified lodging facility” is a hotel, motel, or other establishment more than one-half of the dwelling units in which are used on a transient basis, unless wagering activities are conducted at or in connection with such facility by any person who is engaged in the business of accepting wagers and who is legally authorized to engage in such business at or in connection with such facility. A “qualified lodging facility” includes customary amenities and facilities operated as part of, or associated with, the lodging facility as long as such amenities and facilities are customary for other properties of a comparable size and class owned by other unrelated owners.

 

We intend to acquire hotels that we believe constitute qualified lodging facilities and to have our TRS lessees engage independent third-party hotel managers that qualify as “eligible independent contractors” to operate such hotels on behalf of such TRS lessees.

 

Third, the rent attributable to the personal property leased in connection with the lease of a hotel must not be greater than 15% of the total rent received under the lease. The rent attributable to the personal property contained in a hotel is the amount that bears the same ratio to total rent for the taxable year as the average of the fair market values of the personal property at the beginning and at the end of the taxable year bears to the average of the aggregate fair market values of both the real and personal property contained in the hotel at the beginning and at the end of such taxable year (the “personal property ratio”). To comply with this limitation, a TRS lessee may acquire furnishings, equipment and other personal property. We intend to monitor the relative value of personal property used with respect to our hotels, with the intention that either the personal property ratio is less than 15% or that any rent attributable to excess personal property, when taken together with all of our other nonqualifying income, will not jeopardize our ability to qualify as a REIT. There can be no assurance, however, that the IRS would not challenge our calculation of a personal property ratio, or that a court would not uphold such assertion. If such a challenge were successfully asserted, we could fail to satisfy the 75% or 95% Gross Income Test and thus potentially lose our REIT qualification.

 

Fourth, we generally cannot furnish or render services to the tenants of our hotels, or manage or operate our properties, other than through an independent contractor who is adequately compensated and from whom we do not derive or receive any income. Furthermore, our TRSs may provide customary and noncustomary services to our tenants without tainting our rental income from such properties, although any such services cannot consist of operating or managing hotels. We need not provide services through an “independent contractor” or TRS but instead may provide services directly to our tenants, if the services are “usually or customarily rendered” in connection with the rental of space for occupancy only and are not considered to be provided for the tenants’ convenience. In addition, we may provide a minimal amount of “noncustomary” services to the tenants of a property, other than through an independent contractor or a TRS, as long as our income from the services does not exceed 1% of our income from the related property. We will not perform any services other than customary ones for our lessees, unless such services are provided through independent contractors or TRSs or would not otherwise jeopardize our tax status as a REIT.

Other Income

 

Interest income constitutes qualifying mortgage interest for purposes of the 75% Gross Income Test to the extent that the interest is paid on an obligation that is secured by a mortgage on real property. If we receive interest income with respect to a mortgage loan that is secured by both real property and other property, and the highest principal amount of the loan outstanding during a taxable year exceeds the fair value of the real property on the date that we committed to acquired or originated the mortgage loan, the interest income will be apportioned between the real property and the other property, and our income from the loan will qualify for purposes of the 75% Gross Income Test only to the extent that the interest is allocable to the real property. Even if a loan is not secured by real property or is undersecured, the income that it generates generally will qualify for purposes of the 95% Gross Income Test.

 

To the extent that the terms of a loan provide for contingent interest that is based on the cash proceeds realized upon the sale of the property securing the loan, or a shared appreciation provision, income attributable to the participation feature will be treated as gain from sale of the underlying property, which generally will be qualifying income for purposes of both the 75% and 95% Gross Income Tests provided that the property is not inventory or dealer property in the hands of the borrower or the REIT.

 

To the extent that a REIT derives interest income from a mortgage loan where all or a portion of the amount of interest payable is contingent, such income generally will qualify for purposes of the gross income tests only if it is based upon the gross receipts or sales, and not the net income or profits, of the borrower or lessee. This limitation does not apply, however, where the borrower leases substantially all of its interest in the property to tenants or subtenants, to the extent that the rental income derived by the borrower or lessee, as the case may be, would qualify as rents from real property had it been earned directly by a REIT.

 

We may, from time to time, enter into hedging transactions. Any such hedging transactions could take a variety of forms, including the use of derivative instruments such as interest rate swap contracts, interest rate cap or floor contracts futures or forward contracts and options. Any income or gain derived by us from transactions that hedge certain risks will not be treated as gross income for purposes of either the 75% or the 95% Gross Income Test, provided specific requirements are met. Such requirements include that the hedging transaction be properly identified within prescribed time periods and that the transaction either (1) hedges risks associated with indebtedness issued by us that is incurred to acquire or carry “real estate assets” (as described below under “—Asset Tests”) or (2) manages the risks of currency fluctuations with respect to income or gain that qualifies under the 75% or 95% Gross Income Test (or assets that generate such income). We intend to structure any hedging transactions in a manner that does not jeopardize our status as a REIT.

 

Certain foreign currency gains will be excluded from gross income for purposes of one or both of the gross income tests. “Real estate foreign exchange gain” will be excluded from gross income for purposes of the 75% and 95% gross income tests. Real estate foreign exchange gain generally includes foreign currency gain attributable to any item of income or gain that is qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test, foreign currency gain attributable to the acquisition or ownership of (or becoming or being the obligor under) obligations secured by mortgages on real property or on interests in real property and certain foreign currency gain attributable to certain “qualified business units” of a REIT. “Passive foreign exchange gain” will be excluded from gross income for purposes of the 95% gross income test. Passive foreign exchange gain generally includes real estate foreign exchange gain as described above, and also includes foreign currency gain attributable to any item of income or gain that is qualifying income for purposes of the 95% gross income test and foreign currency gain attributable to the acquisition or ownership of (or becoming or being the obligor under) obligations. These exclusions for real estate foreign exchange gain and passive foreign exchange gain do not apply to any certain foreign currency gain derived from dealing, or engaging in substantial and regular trading, in securities. Such gain is treated as nonqualifying income for purposes of both the 75% and 95% gross income tests.

 

Prior to the making of investments in real estate assets, we may invest the net offering proceeds in liquid assets such as government securities or certificates of deposit. For purposes of the 75% Gross Income Test, income attributable to a stock or debt instrument purchased with the proceeds received by a REIT in exchange for stock in the REIT (other than amounts received pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan) constitutes qualified temporary investment income if such income is received or accrued during the one-year period beginning on the date the REIT receives such new capital. To the extent that we hold any proceeds of the offering for longer than one year, we may invest those amounts in less liquid investments such as mortgage backed securities, maturing mortgage loans purchased from mortgage lenders or shares of common stock in other REITs to satisfy the 75% and 95% Gross Income Tests and the Asset Tests described below.

 

We may establish taxable REIT subsidiaries to hold assets generating non-qualifying income. Dividends we receive from our taxable REIT subsidiaries will be qualifying income for purposes of the 95% Gross Income Test but not the 75% Gross Income Test.

 

99
 

 

Prohibited Transactions. A REIT will incur a 100% tax on the net income (including foreign currency gain) derived from any sale or other disposition of property, other than foreclosure property, that the REIT holds primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. We believe that none of our assets will be held primarily for sale to customers and that a sale of any of our assets will not be in the ordinary course of our business. Whether a REIT holds an asset “primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business” depends, however, on the facts and circumstances in effect from time to time, including those related to a particular asset. A safe harbor to the characterization of the sale of property by a REIT as a prohibited transaction and the 100% prohibited transaction tax is available if the following requirements are met:

 

the REIT has held the property for not less than two years;

 

the aggregate expenditures made by the REIT, or any partner of the REIT, during the two-year period preceding the date of the sale that are includable in the basis of the property do not exceed 30% of the selling price of the property;

 

either (i) during the year in question, the REIT did not make more than seven sales of property other than foreclosure property or sales to which Section 1033 of the Code applies, (ii) the aggregate adjusted bases of all such properties sold by the REIT during the year did not exceed 10% of the aggregate bases of all of the assets of the REIT at the beginning of the year or (iii) the aggregate fair market value of all such properties sold by the REIT during the year did not exceed 10% of the aggregate fair market value of all of the assets of the REIT at the beginning of the year;

 

in the case of property not acquired through foreclosure or lease termination, the REIT has held the property for at least two years for the production of rental income; and

 

if the REIT has made more than seven sales of non-foreclosure property during the taxable year, substantially all of the marketing and development expenditures with respect to the property were made through an independent contractor from whom the REIT derives no income.

 

We generally will attempt to comply with the terms of the safe harbor. We cannot assure you, however, that we can comply with the safe harbor or that we will avoid owning property that may be characterized as property that we hold “primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business.” The 100% tax will not apply to gains from the sale of property that is held through a TRS or other taxable corporation, although such income will be taxed to the corporation at regular corporate income tax rates.

 

Foreclosure Property. We will be subject to tax at the maximum corporate rate on any net income from foreclosure property, which includes certain foreign currency gains and related deductions, other than income that otherwise would be qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test, less expenses directly connected with the production of that income. However, gross income from foreclosure property will qualify under the 75% and 95% gross income tests. Foreclosure property is any real property, including interests in real property, and any personal property incident to such real property:

 

that is acquired by a REIT as the result of the REIT having bid on such property at foreclosure, or having otherwise reduced such property to ownership or possession by agreement or process of law, after there was a default or default was imminent on a lease of such property or on indebtedness that such property secured;

 

for which the related loan was acquired by the REIT at a time when the default was not imminent or anticipated; and

 

for which the REIT makes a proper election to treat the property as foreclosure property.

 

A REIT will not be considered to have foreclosed on a property where the REIT takes control of the property as a mortgagee-in-possession and cannot receive any profit or sustain any loss except as a creditor of the mortgagor. Property generally ceases to be foreclosure property at the end of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the REIT acquired the property, or longer if an extension is granted by the Secretary of the Treasury. However, this grace period terminates and foreclosure property ceases to be foreclosure property on the first day:

 

on which a lease is entered into for the property that, by its terms, will give rise to income that does not qualify for purposes of the 75% gross income test, or any amount is received or accrued, directly or indirectly, pursuant to a lease entered into on or after such day that will give rise to income that does not qualify for purposes of the 75% gross income test;

 

on which any construction takes place on the property, other than completion of a building or any other improvement, where more than 10% of the construction was completed before default became imminent; or

 

which is more than 90 days after the day on which the REIT acquired the property and the property is used in a trade or business which is conducted by the REIT, other than through an independent contractor from whom the REIT itself does not derive or receive any income.

 

Failure To Satisfy the Gross Income Tests

 

Notwithstanding our failure to satisfy one or both of the 75% and 95% Gross Income Tests for any taxable year, we may still qualify as a REIT for that year if we are eligible for relief under specific provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. These relief provisions generally will be available if:

 

100
 

 

our failure to meet these tests was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect;

 

we attach a schedule of our income sources to our federal income tax return; and

 

any incorrect information on the schedule is not due to fraud with intent to evade tax.

 

It is not possible, however, to state whether, in all circumstances, we would be entitled to the benefit of these relief provisions.

 

Operational Requirements — Asset Tests

 

At the close of each quarter of each taxable year, starting with the taxable year with respect to which we elect to be taxed as a REIT, we also must satisfy four tests, which we refer to as “Asset Tests,” relating to the nature and diversification of our assets.

 

First, at least 75% of the value of our total assets must be represented by real estate assets, cash, cash items and government securities. The term “real estate assets” includes real property, mortgages on real property, shares of common stock in other qualified REITs and property attributable to the temporary investment of new capital as described above.

 

Second, no more than 25% of our total assets may be represented by securities other than those in the 75% asset class.

 

Third, for securities not in the 75% asset class, the value of any one issuer’s securities that we own may not exceed 5% of the value of our total assets, and we may not own more than 10% of the voting power or value of any one issuer’s outstanding securities. For these purposes, the term “securities” does not include the equity or debt securities of a qualified REIT subsidiary of ours or an equity interest in any entity treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes.

 

Fourth, no more than 25% of the value of our total assets may consist of the securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries.

 

For purposes of the 10% value test, the term “securities” does not include:

 

“Straight debt” securities, which is defined as a written unconditional promise to pay on demand or on a specified date a sum certain in money if (i) the debt is not convertible, directly or indirectly, into equity, and (ii) the interest rate and interest payment dates are not contingent on profits, the borrower’s discretion, or similar factors. “Straight debt” securities do not include any securities issued by a partnership or a corporation in which we or any controlled TRS (i.e., a TRS in which we own directly or indirectly more than 50% of the voting power or value of the stock) hold non-“straight debt” securities that have an aggregate value of more than 1% of the issuer’s outstanding securities. However, “straight debt” securities include debt subject to the following contingencies:

 

a contingency relating to the time of payment of interest or principal, as long as either (i) there is no change to the effective yield of the debt obligation, other than a change to the annual yield that does not exceed the greater of 0.25% or 5% of the annual yield, or (ii) neither the aggregate issue price nor the aggregate face amount of the issuer’s debt obligations held by us exceeds $1 million and no more than 12 months of unaccrued interest on the debt obligations can be required to be prepaid; and

 

a contingency relating to the time or amount of payment upon a default or prepayment of a debt obligation, as long as the contingency is consistent with customary commercial practice;

 

Any loan to an individual or an estate;

 

Any “section 467 rental agreement,” other than an agreement with a related party tenant;

 

Any obligation to pay “rents from real property”;

 

Certain securities issued by governmental entities;

 

Any security issued by a REIT;

 

Any debt instrument issued by an entity treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes in which we are a partner to the extent of our proportionate interest in the equity and debt securities of the partnership; and

 

Any debt instrument issued by an entity treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes not described in the preceding bullet points if at least 75% of the partnership’s gross income, excluding income from prohibited transactions, is qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test described above in “—Gross Income Tests.”

 

For purposes of the 10% value test, our proportionate share of the assets of a partnership is our proportionate interest in any securities issued by the partnership, without regard to the securities described in the last two bullet points above.

 

As described above, we may selectively invest from time to time in mortgage debt and mezzanine loans. Mortgage loans will generally qualify as real estate assets for purposes of the 75% asset test to the extent that they are secured by real property. However, if a loan is secured by real property and other property and the highest principal amount of a loan outstanding during a taxable year exceeds the fair market value of the real property securing the loan as of the date we agreed to acquire the loan, then a portion of such loan likely will not be a qualifying real estate asset. Under current law, it is not clear how to determine what portion of such a loan will be treated as a real estate asset. The IRS has stated that it will not challenge a REIT’s treatment of a loan as being, in part, a real estate asset for purposes of the 75% asset test if the REIT treats the loan as being a qualifying real estate asset in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the real property securing the loan on the date the REIT acquires the loan or (ii) the fair market value of the loan. We intend to invest in mortgage debt in a manner that will enable us to continue to satisfy the asset and gross income test requirements.

 

101
 

 

Although we expect that our investments in mezzanine loans will generally be treated as real estate assets, we anticipate that the mezzanine loans in which we invest will not meet all the requirements of the safe harbor in IRS Revenue Procedure 2003-65. Thus, no assurance can be provided that the IRS will not challenge our treatment of mezzanine loans as real estate assets. We intend to invest in mezzanine loans in a manner that will enable us to continue to satisfy the asset and gross income test requirements.

 

Any interest that we hold in a real estate mortgage investment conduit, or REMIC, will generally qualify as real estate assets and income derived from REMIC interests will generally be treated as qualifying income for purposes of the REIT Income Tests described above. If less than 95% of the assets of a REMIC are real estate assets, however, then only a proportionate part of our interest in the REMIC and income derived from the interest will qualify for purposes of the REIT asset and income tests. If we hold a “residual interest” in a REMIC from which we derive “excess inclusion income,” we will be required either to distribute the excess inclusion income or to pay tax on it (or a combination of the two), even though we may not receive the income in cash. To the extent that distributed excess inclusion income is allocable to a particular stockholder, the income (1) would not be allowed to be offset by any net operating losses otherwise available to the stockholder, (2) would be subject to tax as unrelated business taxable income in the hands of most types of stockholders that are otherwise generally exempt from federal income tax and (3) would result in the application of U.S. federal income tax withholding at the maximum rate (30%), without reduction pursuant to any otherwise applicable income tax treaty, to the extent allocable to most types of foreign stockholders. Moreover, any excess inclusion income that we receive that is allocable to specified categories of tax-exempt investors which are not subject to unrelated business income tax, such as government entities, may be subject to corporate-level income tax in our hands, regardless of whether it is distributed.

 

To the extent that we hold mortgage participations or CMBS that do not represent REMIC interests, such assets may not qualify as real estate assets, and the income generated from them may not qualify for purposes of the 75% Gross Income Test, depending upon the circumstances and the specific structure of the investment.

 

Certain of our mezzanine loans may qualify for an Internal Revenue Service safe harbor pursuant to which certain loans secured by a first priority security interest in ownership interests in a partnership or limited liability company will be treated as qualifying assets for purposes of the 75% asset test. We may make some mezzanine loans that do not qualify for that safe harbor and that do not qualify as “straight debt” securities or for one of the other exclusions from the definition of “securities” for purposes of the 10% Asset Test. We intend to make such investments in such a manner as not to fail the asset test described above.

 

We will monitor the status of our assets for purposes of the various asset tests and will manage our portfolio in order to comply at all times with such tests.

 

Failure to Satisfy the Asset Tests

 

If we meet the Asset Tests at the close of any quarter, we will not lose our REIT status for a failure to satisfy the Asset Tests at the end of a later quarter in which we have not acquired any securities or other property if such failure occurs solely because of changes in asset values. If our failure to satisfy the Asset Tests results from an acquisition of securities or other property during a quarter, we can cure the failure by disposing of a sufficient amount of non-qualifying assets within 30 days after the close of that quarter. We intend to maintain adequate records of the value of our assets to ensure compliance with the Asset Tests and to take other action within 30 days after the close of any quarter as may be required to cure any noncompliance. If that does not occur, we may nonetheless qualify for one of the relief provisions described below.

 

The Internal Revenue Code contains a number of provisions applicable to REITs, including relief provisions that make it easier for REITs to satisfy the asset requirements or to maintain REIT qualification notwithstanding certain violations of the asset and other requirements.

 

One such provision allows a REIT which fails one or more of the asset requirements to nevertheless maintain its REIT qualification if (1) it provides the IRS with a description of each asset causing the failure, (2) the failure is due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect, (3) the REIT pays a tax equal to the greater of (a) $50,000 per failure and (b) the product of the net income generated by the assets that caused the failure multiplied by the highest applicable corporate tax rate (currently 35%) and (4) the REIT either disposes of the assets causing the failure within six months after the last day of the quarter in which it identifies the failure or otherwise satisfies the relevant asset tests within that time frame.

 

A second relief provision applies to de minimis violations of the 10% and 5% asset tests. A REIT may maintain its qualification despite a violation of such requirements if (1) the value of the assets causing the violation do not exceed the lesser of 1% of the REIT’s total assets and $10,000,000, or (2) the REIT either disposes of the assets causing the failure within six months after the last day of the quarter in which it identifies the failure, or the relevant tests are otherwise satisfied within that time frame.

Operational Requirements — Annual Distribution Requirement

 

To qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute dividends, other than capital gain dividends, to our stockholders each year in the amount of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and our net capital gain and subject to certain other potential adjustments).

 

In addition to distributions made in the taxable year to which they relate, certain distributions made in the following year are taken into account for these purposes. If dividends are declared in October, November or December of the taxable year, are payable to stockholders of record on a specified date in any such month, and are actually paid before the end of January of the following year, such dividends are treated as both paid by us and received by our stockholders on December 31 of the year in which they are declared. In addition, at our election, a dividend for a taxable year may be declared before we timely file our tax return for the year provided we pay such dividend with or before our first regular dividend payment after such declaration and such payment is made during the 12-month period following the close of such taxable year. These dividends are taxable to our stockholders in the year in which paid, even though the distributions relate to our prior taxable year for purposes of the 90% distribution requirement.

 

In order for distributions to be counted towards our distribution requirement and to provide a tax deduction to us, they must not be “preferential dividends.” A dividend is not a preferential dividend if it is pro rata among all outstanding shares within a particular class and is in accordance with the preferences among our different classes of shares as set forth in our organizational documents. A distribution of a preferential dividend may cause other distributions to be treated as preferential dividends, possibly preventing us from satisfying the distribution requirement for REIT qualification.

 

In addition, if we fail to distribute during each calendar year at least the sum of:

 

85% of our ordinary income for that year;

 

95% of our capital gain net income other than the capital gain net income which we elect to retain and pay tax on for that year; and

 

any undistributed taxable income from prior periods, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the excess of the amount of the required distributions over the sum of (1) the amounts actually distributed plus (2) retained amounts on which we pay corporate tax.

 

We intend to make timely distributions sufficient to qualify for taxations as a REIT and to avoid income and excise taxes on undistributed income; however, it is possible that we may experience timing differences between (1) the actual receipt of income and payment of deductible expenses and (2) the inclusion of that income and deduction of those expenses for purposes of computing our taxable income. It is also possible that we may be allocated a share of net capital gain attributable to the sale of depreciated property by our operating partnership that exceeds our allocable share of cash attributable to that sale. In those circumstances, we may have less cash than is necessary to meet our annual distribution requirement or to avoid income or excise taxation on undistributed income. Additionally, we may find it necessary in those circumstances to arrange for financing or raise funds through the issuance of additional shares of common stock to meet our distribution requirements. If we fail to satisfy the distribution requirement for any taxable year by reason of a later adjustment to our taxable income dividends, we may be able to pay “deficiency dividends” in a later year and include such dividends in our deductions for dividends paid for the earlier year. In that event, we may be able to avoid losing our REIT status or being taxed on amounts distributed as deficiency dividends, but we would be required to pay interest and a penalty to the Internal Revenue Service.

 

We may elect to retain, rather than distribute, our net long-term capital gains. The effect of such an election would be as follows:

 

we would be required to pay federal income tax on these gains;

 

stockholders, while required to include their proportionate share of the undistributed long-term capital gains in income, would receive a credit or refund for their share of the tax paid by the REIT; and

 

the basis of the stockholder’s shares of common stock would be increased by the difference between the designated amount included in the stockholder’s long-term capital gains and the tax deemed paid with respect to such shares of common stock.

 

Operational Requirements — Recordkeeping

 

We must maintain certain records as set forth in Treasury Regulations to avoid the payment of monetary penalties to the Internal Revenue Service. Such Treasury Regulations require that we request, on an annual basis, certain information designed to disclose the ownership of shares of our outstanding common stock. We intend to comply with these requirements.

 

103
 

 

Failure to Qualify as a REIT

 

In the event we violate a provision of the Internal Revenue Code that would result in our failure to qualify as a REIT (other than an Income Test or Asset Test violation), specified relief provisions will be available to us to avoid such disqualification if (1) the violation is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, (2) we pay a penalty of $50,000 for each failure to satisfy the provision and (3) the violation does not include a violation under the gross income or asset tests described above (for which other specified relief provisions are available) or the failure to meet the minimum distribution requirements.

 

If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any reason in a taxable year and applicable relief provisions do not apply, we will be subject to tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We will not be able to deduct dividends distributed to our stockholders in any year in which we fail to qualify as a REIT. We also will be disqualified for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost unless we are entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions.

 

Sale-Leaseback Transactions

 

Some of our investments may be in the form of sale-leaseback transactions. We normally intend to treat these transactions as true leases for federal income tax purposes. However, depending on the terms of any specific transaction, the Internal Revenue Service might take the position that the transaction is not a true lease but is more properly treated in some other manner. If such recharacterization were successful, we would not be entitled to claim the depreciation deductions available to an owner of the property. In addition, the recharacterization of one or more of these transactions might cause us to fail to satisfy the Asset Tests or the Income Tests described above based upon the asset we would be treated as holding or the income we would be treated as having earned, and such failure could result in our failing to qualify as a REIT. Alternatively, the amount or timing of income inclusion or the loss of depreciation deductions resulting from the recharacterization might cause us to fail to meet the distribution requirement described above for one or more taxable years absent the availability of the deficiency distribution procedure or might result in a larger portion of our distributions being treated as ordinary distribution income to our stockholders.

 

Taxation of Taxable U.S. Stockholders

 

In this section, the phrase “U.S. stockholder” means a holder of our common stock that for federal income tax purposes is:

 

a citizen or resident of the United States;

 

a corporation or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof;

 

an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

 

a trust, if a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

 

If a partnership, including for this purpose any entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. An investor that is a partnership and the partners in such partnership should consult their tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common stock.

 

For any taxable year for which we qualify for taxation as a REIT, amounts distributed to, and gains realized by, taxable U.S. stockholders with respect to our common stock generally will be taxed as described herein.

 

In addition to regular federal income tax on taxable income, high-income U.S. individuals, estates, and trusts are subject to an additional 3.8% tax on net investment income .. For these purposes, net investment income includes dividends and gains from sales of stock. In the case of an individual, the tax will be 3.8% of the lesser of the individual’s net investment income or the excess of the individual’s modified adjusted gross income over $250,000 in the case of a married individual filing a joint return or a surviving spouse, $125,000 in the case of a married individual filing a separate return, or $200,000 in the case of a single individual.

 

Distributions Generally

 

Distributions to U.S. stockholders, other than capital gain dividends discussed below, will constitute dividends up to the amount of our current or accumulated earnings and profits and generally will be taxable to the stockholders as ordinary income. These distributions are not eligible for the dividends received deduction generally available to corporations. In addition, with limited exceptions, these dividends are not eligible for taxation at the preferential income tax rates for qualified dividends received by individuals. U.S. stockholders that are individuals, however, are taxed at preferential qualified dividend rates on dividends that are attributable to (1) income retained by us in the prior taxable year on which we were subject to corporate level income tax (less the amount of tax), (2) dividends received by us from taxable C corporations, or (3) income in the prior taxable year from the sales of “built-in gain” property acquired by us from C corporations in carryover basis transactions (less the amount of corporate tax on such income).

 

104
 

 

To the extent that we make a distribution in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the distribution will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital, reducing the tax basis in the U.S. stockholder’s shares of common stock, and the amount of each distribution in excess of a U.S. stockholder’s tax basis in its shares of common stock will be taxable as gain realized from the sale of its shares of common stock. Dividends that we declare in October, November or December of any year payable to a stockholder of record on a specified date in any of these months will be treated as both distributed by us and received by the stockholder on December 31 of the year, provided that we actually distribute the dividend during January of the following calendar year. U.S. stockholders may not include any of our losses on their own federal income tax returns.

 

We will be treated as having sufficient earnings and profits to treat as a dividend any distribution by us up to the amount required to be distributed to avoid imposition of the 4% excise tax discussed above. Moreover, any “deficiency dividend” will be treated as an ordinary or capital gain distribution, as the case may be, regardless of our earnings and profits. As a result, stockholders may be required to treat as taxable some distributions that would otherwise result in a tax-free return of capital.

 

Capital Gain Dividends

 

Distributions to U.S. stockholders that we properly designate as capital gain dividends normally will be treated as long-term capital gains to the extent they do not exceed our actual net capital gain for the taxable year without regard to the period for which the U.S. stockholder has held his shares of common stock. A corporate U.S. stockholder might be required to treat up to 20% of some capital gain distributions as ordinary income. Long-term capital gains are generally taxable at maximum federal rates of 20% in the case of non-corporate stockholders. Capital gains attributable to the sale of depreciable real property held for more than 12 months are subject to a 25% maximum federal income tax rate for non-corporate taxpayers, to the extent of previously claimed depreciation deductions.

 

Certain Dispositions of Our Common Stock

 

In general, capital gains recognized by individuals upon the sale or disposition of shares of common stock will be long-term capital gains if such shares of common stock are held for more than 12 months and will be taxed at ordinary income rates if such shares of common stock are held for 12 months or less. Capital losses recognized by a stockholder upon the disposition of a share of our common stock held for more than one year at the time of disposition will be considered long-term capital losses and are generally available only to offset capital gain income of the stockholder (except in the case of individuals, who may offset up to $3,000 of ordinary income each year with such capital losses). In addition, any loss upon a sale or exchange of shares of common stock by a stockholder who has held such shares of common stock for six months or less, after applying holding period rules, will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of distributions received from us that are required to be treated by the stockholder as long-term capital gain.

 

Repurchases of Our Common Stock

 

A repurchase of our common stock will be treated as a distribution in exchange for the repurchased shares and taxed in the same manner as other taxable share sales discussed above, provided that the repurchase satisfies one of the tests enabling the repurchase to be treated as a sale or exchange. A repurchase will be treated as a sale or exchange if it (1) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to a stockholder, (2) results in a “complete termination” of a stockholder’s interest in our shares or (3) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to a stockholder, all within the meaning of applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. In determining whether any of these tests have been met, shares considered to be owned by a stockholder by reason of certain constructive ownership rules, as well as shares actually owned, generally must be taken into account.

 

A repurchase that does not qualify as an exchange under such tests will constitute a dividend equivalent repurchase that is treated as a taxable distribution and taxed in the same manner as regular distributions (i.e., ordinary dividend income to the extent paid out of earnings and profits unless properly designated as a capital gain dividend). In addition, although guidance is sparse, the IRS could take the position that a stockholder who does not participate in any repurchase treated as a dividend should be treated as receiving a constructive share distribution taxable as a dividend in the amount of their increased percentage ownership of our shares as a result of the repurchase, even though the stockholder did not actually receive cash or other property as a result of the repurchase.

 

Passive Activity Losses and Investment Interest Limitations

 

Distributions made by us and gain arising from the sale, repurchase or exchange by a U.S. stockholder of shares of our common stock will not be treated as passive activity income. As a result, U.S. stockholders will not be able to apply any “passive losses” against income or gain relating to shares of our common stock. Distributions made by us, to the extent they do not constitute a return of capital, generally will be treated as investment income for purposes of computing the investment interest limitation. A U.S. stockholder that elects to treat capital gain dividends, capital gains from the disposition of shares or qualified dividend income as investment income for purposes of the investment interest limitation will be taxed at ordinary income rates on such amounts.

 

105
 

 

Information Reporting Requirements and Backup Withholding for U.S. Stockholders

 

We will report to U.S. stockholders of our common stock and to the Internal Revenue Service the amount of distributions made or deemed made during each calendar year and the amount of tax withheld, if any. Under some circumstances, U.S. stockholders may be subject to backup withholding on payments made with respect to, or cash proceeds of a sale or exchange of, our common stock. Backup withholding will apply only if the stockholder:

 

fails to furnish its taxpayer identification number (social security number in the case of an individual);

 

furnishes an incorrect taxpayer identification number;

 

is notified by the Internal Revenue Service that the stockholder has failed properly to report payments of interest or distributions and is subject to backup withholding; or

 

under some circumstances, fails to certify, under penalties of perjury, that it has furnished a correct taxpayer identification number and has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that the stockholder is subject to backup withholding for failure to report interest and distribution payments or has been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that the stockholder is no longer subject to backup withholding for failure to report those payments.

 

Backup withholding will not apply with respect to payments made to some stockholders, such as corporations and tax-exempt organizations. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding with respect to a payment to a U.S. stockholder will be allowed as a credit against the U.S. stockholder’s United States federal income tax liability and may entitle the U.S. stockholder to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service. U.S. stockholders should consult their tax advisors regarding their qualification for exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining an exemption.

 

Brokers are subject to information reporting requirements relating to certain transactions involving shares of our capital stock held by a stockholder other than an exempt recipient (“covered stock”). Specifically, upon the transfer or repurchase of shares of covered stock, the broker must report certain information to the stockholder and the Internal Revenue Service, including the adjusted tax basis of the shares and whether any gain or loss recognized on the transfer or repurchase is long-term or short-term. Shares of covered stock will be transferred or repurchased on a “first in/first out” basis unless the stockholder identifies specific lots to be transferred or repurchased in a timely matter.

 

If we take an organizational action such as a stock split, merger or acquisition that affects the tax basis of shares of covered stock or even make distributions that exceed our current or accumulated earning and profits, we will report to each stockholder and the Internal Revenue Service (or post on our website) a description of the action and the quantitative effect of that action on the tax basis of the applicable shares.

 

Brokers may be subject to transfer statement reporting on certain transactions not otherwise subject to the reporting requirements discussed above. Transfer statements, however, are issued only between “brokers” and are not issued to stockholders or the Internal Revenue Service.

 

Stockholders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the information reporting rules discussed above to their investment in shares of our common stock.

 

Tax-Exempt Stockholders

 

Tax-exempt entities, including employee pension benefit trusts and individual retirement accounts, generally are exempt from United States federal income taxation. These entities are subject to taxation, however, on any “unrelated business taxable income,” which we refer to as “UBTI,” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. Dividends from us and gains with respect to our stock should not be UBTI unless a tax-exempt stockholder holds our common stock in an unrelated trade or business or has incurred debt in connection with the purchase of our shares.

 

However, social clubs, voluntary employee benefit associations, supplemental unemployment benefit trusts and qualified group legal services plans that are exempt from taxation under specified provisions of the Internal Revenue Code are subject to different UBTI rules, which generally will require them to treat distributions from us as UBTI unless the organization properly sets aside or reserves such amounts for purposes specified in the Internal Revenue Code. These organizations are urged to consult their own tax advisor with respect to the treatment of our distributions to them.

 

In addition, qualified pension trusts that hold more than 10% by value of the shares of a REIT may be required to treat a specified percentage of REIT distributions as UBTI if we become a “pension-held REIT”. We believe that our stock ownership limitations should prevent us from becoming a pension-held REIT, but we can give no assurances that we will not be a pension-held REIT.

 

106
 

 

Certain Tax Considerations for Non-U.S. Stockholders

 

The rules governing U.S. federal income taxation of non-resident alien individuals and foreign corporations, estate and trusts that are not U.S. stockholders, which we refer to collectively as “Non-U.S. stockholders,” are complex. The following discussion is intended only as a summary of these rules. Non-U.S. stockholders should consult with their own tax advisors to determine the impact of U.S. federal, state and local income tax laws on an investment in our common stock, including any reporting requirements as well as the tax treatment of the investment under the tax laws of their home country.

 

Ordinary Dividends

 

The portion of distributions received by Non-U.S. stockholders payable out of our earnings and profits that are not attributable to our gains from sales of United States real property interests, or USRPIs, or designated as capital gain dividends and that are not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the Non-U.S. stockholder will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30%, unless reduced by an applicable tax treaty. In cases where the distribution income from a Non-U.S. stockholder’s investment in our common stock is, or is treated as, effectively connected with the Non-U.S. stockholder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business, the Non-U.S. stockholder generally will be subject to U.S. tax at graduated rates, in the same manner as U.S. stockholders, such income must generally be reported on a U.S. income tax return filed by or on behalf of the Non-U.S. stockholder, and the income may also be subject to the 30% branch profits tax in the case of a Non-U.S. stockholder that is a corporation.

 

Non-Dividend Distributions

 

If we cannot determine at the time at which a distribution is made whether the distribution will exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits, we will withhold at the rate applicable to dividends. However, a Non-U.S. stockholder may seek a refund from the Internal Revenue Service of any amounts withheld if it is subsequently determined that the distribution was, in fact, in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits. If our common stock constitutes a USRPI, as described below, distributions by us in excess of the sum of our earnings and profits plus the Non-U.S. stockholder’s basis in shares of our common stock will be taxed under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980, which we refer to as “FIRPTA,” at the rate of tax, including any applicable capital gains rates, that would apply to a U.S. stockholder of the same type (subject to a special alternative minimum tax rule for nonresident aliens), and the collection of the tax will be enforced by a refundable withholding at a rate of 10% of the amount by which the distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. stockholder’s share of our earnings and profits.

 

Capital Gain Dividends

 

Capital gain dividends with respect to our dispositions of USRPIs generally will be treated as income that is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business, reportable on a U.S. tax return by the Non-U.S. stockholder and taxed at regular U.S. income tax rates (and a 30% profits tax in the case of a corporate Non-U.S. stockholder) without regard to whether the distribution is designated as a capital gain distribution and, in addition, shall be subject to a 35% withholding tax. A capital gain dividend would be treated the same as an ordinary dividend from us if (1) the capital gain distribution is received with respect to a class of stock that is regularly traded on an established securities market located in the United States and (2) the recipient Non-U.S. stockholder does not own more than 5% of that class of stock at any time during the taxable year in which the capital gain distribution is received. We do not anticipate our common stock satisfying the “regularly traded” requirement. Capital gain dividends with respect to sales of assets other than USRPIs generally are not subject to U.S. income tax to Non-U.S. stockholders.

 

Dispositions of Our Common Stock

 

Gain with respect to a sale of our common stock by a Non-U.S. stockholder generally will be subject to U.S. taxation under FIRPTA if 50% or more of our assets throughout a prescribed testing period consist of interests in real property located within the United States unless an exception for stock of a publicly traded corporation or an exception for a “domestically controlled” REIT applies.

 

A domestically controlled REIT is a REIT in which, at all times during a specified testing period, less than 50% in value of its shares of common stock is held directly or indirectly by non-U.S. persons. We currently anticipate that we will be a domestically controlled REIT and, therefore, that the sale of our common stock should not be subject to taxation under FIRPTA. However, we cannot assure you that we are or will continue to be a domestically controlled REIT. If we were not a domestically controlled REIT, whether a Non-U.S. stockholder’s sale of our common stock would be subject to tax under FIRPTA as a sale of a USRPI would depend on whether our common stock were “regularly traded” on an established securities market and on the size of the selling stockholder’s interest in us. We do not expect to be “regularly traded” on an established securities market in the near future.

 

If the gain on the sale of shares of common stock were subject to taxation under FIRPTA, a Non-U.S. stockholder would be subject to the same treatment as a U.S. stockholder with respect to the gain, subject to any applicable alternative minimum tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the case of non-resident alien individuals. Gain from the sale of our common stock that would not otherwise be subject to tax under FIRPTA will nonetheless be taxable in the United States to a Non-U.S. stockholder if the Non-U.S. stockholder is a nonresident alien individual who was present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year and has a “tax home” in the United States, in which case the nonresident alien individual will be subject to a 30% tax on the gain from sale of our stock.

Recent Changes in U.S. Federal Income Tax Withholding

 

After June 30, 2014, withholding at a rate of 30% will be required on dividends in respect of, and after December 31, 2016, withholding at a rate of 30% will be required on gross proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless such institution enters into an agreement with the Secretary of the Treasury (unless alternative procedures apply pursuant to an applicable intergovernmental agreement between the United States and the relevant foreign government) to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to shares in, and accounts maintained by, the institution to the extent such shares or accounts are held by certain U.S. persons or by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons. Accordingly, the entity through which our shares are held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Similarly, after June 30, 2014, dividends in respect of, and after December 31, 2016, gross proceeds from the sale of, our shares held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity will be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (1) certifies to us that such entity does not have any “substantial U.S. owners” or (ii) provides certain information regarding the entity’s “substantial U.S. owners,” which we will in turn provide to the Secretary of the Treasury. Non-U.S. stockholders are encouraged to consult with their tax advisers regarding the possible implications of these rules on their investment in our common stock.

 

Estate Tax

 

If our shares are owned or treated as owned by an individual who is not a U.S. citizen or resident (as specifically defined for federal estate tax purposes) at the time of the individual’s death, the shares will be includible in the individual’s gross estate for federal estate tax purposes and may be subject to federal estate tax, unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise.

 

Information Reporting Requirements and Backup Withholding for Non-U.S. Stockholders

 

Non-U.S. stockholders should consult their tax advisors with regard to U.S. information reporting and backup withholding requirements under the Internal Revenue Code.

 

Federal Income Tax Aspects of Our Operating Partnership

 

The following discussion summarizes certain federal income tax considerations applicable to our investment in our operating partnership. The discussion does not cover state or local tax laws or any federal tax laws other than income tax laws.

 

Classification as a Partnership

 

Under applicable Treasury Regulations, an unincorporated domestic entity with at least two members may elect to be classified either as an association taxable as a corporation or as a partnership. If the entity fails to make an election, it will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Our operating partnership intends to be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and will not elect to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation.

 

Even though our operating partnership will not elect to be treated as an association for federal income tax purposes, it may be taxed as a corporation if it is deemed to be a “publicly traded partnership.” A publicly traded partnership is a partnership whose interests are traded on an established securities market or are readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof. Applicable Treasury regulations, which we refer to as the “PTP Regulations,” provide limited safe harbors from the definition of a publicly traded partnership. Pursuant to one of those safe harbors, which we refer to as the “Private Placement Exclusion,” interests in a partnership will not be treated as readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof if (1) all interests in the partnership were issued in a transaction (or transactions) that were not required to be registered under the Securities Act and (2) the partnership does not have more than 100 partners at any time during the partnership’s taxable year. In determining the number of partners in a partnership, a person owning an interest in a flow-through entity (including a partnership, grantor trust or S corporation) that owns an interest in the partnership is treated as a partner in such partnership only if (a) substantially all of the value of the owner’s interest in the flow-through entity is attributable to the flow-through entity’s direct or indirect interest in the partnership and (b) a principal purpose of the use of the flow-through entity is to permit the partnership to satisfy the 100 partner limitation. We and our operating partnership believe and currently intend to take the position that our operating partnership should not be classified as a publicly traded partnership because (1) limited partnership interests are not traded on an established securities market and (2) limited partnership interests should not be considered readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof. In addition, our operating partnership presently qualifies for the Private Placement Exclusion.

 

108
 

 

Even if our operating partnership were considered a publicly traded partnership under the PTP Regulations, our operating partnership should not be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes as long as 90% or more of its gross income consists of “qualifying income” under section 7704(d) of the Internal Revenue Code. In general, qualifying income includes interest, dividends, real property rents (defined by reference to the REIT rules) and gain from the sale or disposition of real property. If our operating partnership were characterized as a publicly traded partnership but not taxed as a corporation because of the qualifying income exception, holders of limited partnership interests would be subject to special rules under section 469 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under such rules, each holder of limited partnership interests would be required to treat any loss derived from our operating partnership separately from any income or loss derived from any other publicly traded partnership, as well as from income or loss derived from other passive activities. In such case, any net losses or credits attributable to our operating partnership that are carried forward may only be offset against future income of our operating partnership. Moreover, unlike other passive activity losses, suspended losses attributable to our operating partnership would only be allowed upon the complete disposition of the common limited partnership interest holder’s “entire interest” in our operating partnership.

 

If for any reason our operating partnership were taxable as a corporation, rather than a partnership, for federal income tax purposes, we would not be able to qualify as a REIT, unless we are eligible for relief from the violation pursuant to relief provisions described above. In addition, any change in our operating partnership’s status for tax purposes might be treated as a taxable event, in which case we might incur a tax liability without any related cash distribution. Further, items of income and deduction of our operating partnership would not pass through to its partners, and its partners would be treated as stockholders for tax purposes. Our operating partnership would be required to pay income tax at corporate tax rates on its net income, and distributions to its partners would constitute distributions that would not be deductible in computing our operating partnership’s taxable income.

 

Income Taxation of Our Operating Partnership and its Partners

 

Partners, Not Operating Partnership, Subject to Tax. A partnership is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes. As a partner in our operating partnership, we will be required to take into account our allocable share of our operating partnership’s income, gains, losses, deductions and credits for any taxable year of our operating partnership ending within or with our taxable year, without regard to whether we have received or will receive any distributions from our operating partnership.

 

Operating Partnership Allocations. Although a partnership agreement generally determines the allocation of income and losses among partners, such allocations will be disregarded for tax purposes under section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code if they do not comply with the provisions of section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. If an allocation is not recognized for federal income tax purposes, the item subject to the allocation will be reallocated in accordance with the partner’s interests in the partnership, which will be determined by taking into account all of the facts and circumstances relating to the economic arrangement of the partners with respect to such item. Our operating partnership’s allocations of taxable income and loss are intended to comply with the requirements of section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

Tax Allocations With Respect to Contributed Properties. Pursuant to section 704(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, income, gain, loss and deduction attributable to appreciated or depreciated property that is contributed to a partnership in exchange for an interest in the partnership must be allocated for federal income tax purposes in a manner such that the contributor is charged with, or benefits from, the unrealized gain or unrealized loss associated with the property at the time of the contribution. The amount of unrealized gain or unrealized loss is generally equal to the difference between the fair market value of the contributed property at the time of contribution and the adjusted tax basis of such property at the time of contribution. Under applicable Treasury Regulations, partnerships are required to use a “reasonable method” for allocating items subject to section 704(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, and several reasonable allocation methods are described therein.

 

Under the operating partnership agreement, subject to exceptions applicable to the special limited partnership interests, depreciation or amortization deductions of our operating partnership generally will be allocated among the partners in accordance with their respective interests in our operating partnership, except to the extent that our operating partnership is required under section 704(c) to use a different method for allocating depreciation deductions attributable to its properties. In addition, gain or loss on the sale of a property that has been contributed to our operating partnership will be specially allocated to the contributing partner to the extent of any built-in gain or loss with respect to the property for federal income tax purposes. It is possible that we may (1) be allocated lower amounts of depreciation deductions for tax purposes with respect to contributed properties than would be allocated to us if each such property were to have a tax basis equal to its fair market value at the time of contribution and (2) be allocated taxable gain in the event of a sale of such contributed properties in excess of the economic profit allocated to us as a result of such sale. These allocations may cause us to recognize taxable income in excess of cash proceeds received by us, which might adversely affect our ability to comply with the REIT distribution requirements, although we do not anticipate that this event will occur. The foregoing principles also will affect the calculation of our earnings and profits for purposes of determining the portion of our distributions that are taxable as a dividend. The allocations described in this paragraph may result in a higher portion of our distributions being taxed as a dividend than would have occurred had we purchased such properties for cash.

 

109
 

 

Basis in Operating Partnership Interest. The adjusted tax basis of our partnership interest in our operating partnership generally will be equal to (1) the amount of cash and the basis of any other property contributed to our operating partnership by us, (2) increased by (a) our allocable share of our operating partnership’s income and (b) our allocable share of indebtedness of our operating partnership and (3) reduced, but not below zero, by (a) our allocable share of our operating partnership’s loss and (b) the amount of cash distributed to us, including constructive cash distributions resulting from a reduction in our share of indebtedness of our operating partnership. If the allocation of our distributive share of our operating partnership’s loss would reduce the adjusted tax basis of our partnership interest in our operating partnership below zero, the recognition of the loss will be deferred until such time as the recognition of the loss would not reduce our adjusted tax basis below zero. If a distribution from our operating partnership or a reduction in our share of our operating partnership’s liabilities would reduce our adjusted tax basis below zero, that distribution, including a constructive distribution, will constitute taxable income to us. The gain realized by us upon the receipt of any such distribution or constructive distribution would normally be characterized as capital gain, and if our partnership interest in our operating partnership has been held for longer than the long-term capital gain holding period (currently one year), the distribution would constitute long-term capital gain.

 

Sale of Our Operating Partnership’s Property. Generally, any gain realized by our operating partnership on the sale of property held for more than one year will be long-term capital gain, except for any portion of such gain that is treated as depreciation or cost recovery recapture. Our share of any gain realized by our operating partnership on the sale of any property held by our operating partnership as inventory or other property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of our operating partnership’s trade or business will be treated as income from a prohibited transaction that is subject to a 100% tax. Whether property is held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business depends on the facts and circumstances surrounding each property. We intend to avoid the 100% prohibited transaction tax by (1) conducting activities that may otherwise be considered prohibited transactions through a taxable REIT subsidiary, (2) conducting our operations in such a manner so that no sale or other disposition of an asset we own, directly or through any subsidiary other than a taxable REIT subsidiary, will be treated as a prohibited transaction or (3) structuring certain dispositions of our properties to comply with certain safe harbors available under the Internal Revenue Code for properties held at least two years. Despite our present intention, no assurance can be given that any particular property we own, directly or through any subsidiary entry, including our operating partnership, but excluding out taxable REIT subsidiaries, will not be treated as property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of trade or business.

 

Other Tax Considerations

 

Legislative or Other Actions Affecting REITs

 

The rules dealing with U.S. federal income taxation are constantly under review. No assurance can be given as to whether, when, or in what form, the U.S. federal income tax laws applicable to us and our stockholders may be changed. Changes to the federal tax laws and interpretations of federal tax laws could adversely affect an investment in shares of our common stock.

 

State, Local and Non-U.S. Taxes

 

We and/or you may be subject to taxation by various states, localities and non-U.S. jurisdictions, including those in which we or a holder of our common stock transacts business, owns property or resides. The state, local and non-U.S. tax treatment may differ from the federal income tax treatment described above. You are urged to consult your own tax advisors regarding the effect of state, local and non-U.S. tax laws upon an investment in our common stock.

 

110
 

 

STATE AND LOCAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

We and any operating subsidiaries we may form may be subject to state and local tax in states and localities in which we or they do business or own property. Our tax treatment, the tax treatment of our operating partnership, any operating subsidiaries, joint ventures or other arrangements we or our operating partnership may form or enter into and the tax treatment of the holders of our common stock in local jurisdictions may differ from the federal income tax treatment described above. Consequently, prospective stockholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect of state and local tax laws on their investment in our common stock.

 

Some states may impose an entity level tax directly on us. For example, Texas enacted legislation in 2006 that amended its franchise tax effective for reports originally due on or after January 1, 2008. Under the revised franchise tax, commonly referred to as a margins tax, a REIT may be treated as a “taxable entity” if it has any amount of its assets in direct holdings of real estate, other than real estate it occupies for business purposes, as opposed to holding interests in limited partnerships or other entities that directly hold the real estate. If the REIT is treated as a taxable entity, then the tax base is the entity’s gross margin, computed as the lesser of (1) 70% of the entity’s total revenue or (2) the entity’s total revenue less compensation or cost of goods sold, subject to allocation and apportionment under the applicable rules. Each prospective investor is advised to consult his or her own tax advisor to determine the state and local tax consequences of this and other entity level taxes that may be imposed on us.

 

111
 

 

ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

 

Employee benefit plans that are subject to the fiduciary provisions of ERISA (including, without limitation, pension and profit-sharing plans) and plans that are subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (including, without limitation, IRAs and Keogh plans) and entities deemed to hold “plan assets” of each of the foregoing, as well as governmental plans, foreign plans and other employee benefit plans, accounts or arrangements that are not subject to the fiduciary provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code and entities deemed to hold “plan assets” of any of the foregoing may generally invest in us, subject to the following considerations. For purposes of this section, all of the different types of plans or arrangements identified above are collectively identified as benefit plans.

 

The following summary is based on the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA, relevant regulations and opinions Issued by the United States Department of Labor, or the DOL, and court decisions, and on the pertinent provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, regulations issued thereunder and published rulings and procedures of the Internal Revenue Service as in effect on the date of this prospectus. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code. No assurance can be given that future regulations, changes in administrative regulations or rulings or court decisions will not significantly modify the requirements summarized herein. Any such changes may be retroactive and thereby apply to transactions entered into prior to the date of their enactment or release. In addition, this summary does not address the impact of applicable federal, state, local, or non-U.S. law on the decision to purchase shares of our common stock by a plan or arrangement not subject to the fiduciary provisions of ERISA (for example, governmental plans, non-electing church plans, and foreign plans). Nothing in this summary should be construed as legal advice or a legal opinion and you should consult your own legal advisor regarding the purchase shares of our common stock.

 

General Fiduciary Considerations for Investment in our Company by Benefit Plans

 

The fiduciary provisions of ERISA, and the laws applicable to governmental, foreign or other employee benefit plans or retirement arrangements that are not subject to ERISA, may impose limitations on investment in our company. Fiduciaries of benefit plans, in consultation with their advisors, should consider, to the extent applicable, the impact of such fiduciary rules and regulations and other laws on an investment in our company. Among other considerations, the fiduciary of a benefit plan should take into account the composition of the benefit plan’s portfolio with respect to diversification; the cash flow needs of the benefit plan and the effect thereon of the illiquidity of the investment; the economic terms of the benefit plan’s investment in us; the benefit plan’s funding objectives; the tax effects of the investment; and the fact that our management will not take the particular objectives of any investors into account.

 

It is intended that our assets will not be considered plan assets under ERISA or be subject to any fiduciary or investment restrictions that may exist under laws applicable to plans not subject to ERISA. Each benefit plan will be required to acknowledge and agree in connection with its investment in our shares to the foregoing status of our company and that there is no rule, regulation or requirement applicable to such investor that is inconsistent with the foregoing description of us.

 

Benefit plan fiduciaries may be required to determine and report annually the fair market value of the assets of the benefit plan. Since it is expected that there will not be any public market for our shares, there may not be an independent basis for the benefit plan fiduciary to determine the fair market value of our shares.

 

ERISA Restrictions if the Company Holds Plan Assets

 

If we are deemed to hold plan assets under the plan asset regulation (as defined and described in the following paragraph), the investment in us by each such benefit plan investor could constitute an improper delegation of investment authority by the fiduciary of such benefit plan investor. In addition, any transaction we enter into would be treated as a transaction with each such benefit plan investor (such as a property lease, acquisition, sale or financing) with certain “parties in interest” (as defined in ERISA) or “disqualified persons” (as defined in Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to a benefit plan investor (as defined in the following paragraph) could be a “prohibited transaction” under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code. If we were subject to ERISA, certain aspects of our structure could also violate ERISA.

 

ERISA Plan Assets

 

The DOL has published regulations relating to the definition of “plan assets,” 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by ERISA Section 3(42), or the “plan asset regulation.” Under the plan asset regulation, a benefit plan investor’s assets would be deemed to include an undivided interest in each of our underlying assets unless investment by benefit plan investors is not “significant,” we constitute an “operating company”, or our stock is considered to be “publicly offered” (each as defined below). A benefit plan investor includes any employee benefit plan that is subject to the fiduciary provisions of ERISA, plans that are subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, and entities deemed to hold plan assets of each of the foregoing.

 

112
 

 

Significant Investment by Benefit Plan Investors

 

Investment by benefit plan investors would not be “significant” if less than 25% of the value of each class of equity interests in our company (excluding equity interests held by persons (other than benefit plan investors) with discretionary authority or control over our assets or that provide investment advice for a fee (direct or indirect) with respect to our assets, and affiliates (other than a benefit plan investor) of any of the foregoing persons) is held by benefit plan investors. Commingled vehicles that are subject to ERISA are generally counted as benefit plan investors for this purpose only to the extent of investment in such entity by benefit plan investors.

 

We reserve the right to reject subscriptions in whole or in part for any reason, including that the investor is a benefit plan investor. However, we are not required to limit participation by benefit plan investors. In the event we elect to limit investment in us by benefit plan investors, we may have the authority to restrict transfers of our shares and may require a full or partial withdrawal of any benefit plan investor to the extent we deem appropriate to avoid having our assets deemed to be plan assets of any benefit plan investor.

 

Operating Company Status of Company

 

If participation by benefit plan investors in us is “significant” as defined above, we intend, but are not required, to conduct our operations so as to qualify as an “operating company,” including a “real estate operating company”, or a “venture capital operating company,” so that our assets will not be considered “plan assets” of any benefit plan investor. To constitute a “venture capital operating company” under the plan asset regulation, an entity such as us must, on its initial valuation date and during each annual valuation period, have at least 50% of its assets (valued at cost, excluding short-term investments pending long-term commitment or distribution) invested in operating companies with respect to which the entity obtains direct contractual rights to participate significantly in management decisions, and must regularly exercise its rights in the ordinary course of its business. To constitute a “real estate operating company” under the plan asset regulation, an entity such as us must, on its initial valuation date and during each annual valuation period, have at least 50% of its assets (valued at cost, excluding short-term investments pending long-term commitment or distribution) invested in real estate which is managed or developed and with respect to which such entity has the right to substantially participate directly in the management or development activities, and must engage directly, in the ordinary course of its business, in real estate management or development activities.

 

There is very little authority regarding the application of ERISA and the plan asset regulation to entities such as us, and there can be no assurance that the DOL or the courts would not take a position or promulgate additional rules or regulations that could significantly impact the “plan asset” status of our company.

 

“Publicly Offered” Status of Our Stock

 

If participation by benefit plan investors in us is “significant” as defined above and we do not qualify as an “operating company,” our assets may not be “plan assets” if our stock qualifies for the “publicly offered” exemption under the plan asset regulation. The plan asset regulation provides that if an investment in an entity constitutes “publicly offered securities,” the assets of the issuer of the securities will not be deemed to be plan assets for purposes of ERISA and the Code. The definition of publicly offered securities requires that such securities be registered for federal securities law purposes and that such securities be “widely held” and “freely transferable.”

 

Under the plan asset regulation, a class of securities will meet the registration requirements under federal securities laws if they are (1) part of a class of securities registered under section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act or (2) part of an offering of securities to the public pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and the class of securities of which such security is a part is registered under the Exchange Act within 120 days (or such later time as may be allowed by the SEC) after the end of the fiscal year of the issuer during which the offering of such securities to the public occurred. Also under the plan asset regulation, a class of securities will be “widely held” if it is held by 100 or more different persons independent of the issuer. We anticipate that we will meet both the registration and shareholder requirements. However, our stock must also meet the “freely transferable” requirement.

 

The “freely transferable” requirement under the plan asset regulation is a facts and circumstances determination. The plan asset regulation and its preamble provide that, in the case of a security that is part of an offering in which the minimum investment is $10,000 or less, the following requirements, alone or in combination, ordinarily will not affect a finding that the security is freely transferable: (1) any requirement that not less than a minimum number of shares or limited partnership interests of such security be transferred or assigned by any investor, provided that such requirement does not prevent transfer of all of the then remaining shares or limited partnership interests held by an investor; (2) any prohibition against transfer or assignment of such security or rights in respect thereof to an ineligible or unsuitable investor; (3) any restriction on, or prohibition against, any transfer or assignment which would either result in a termination or reclassification of the entity for federal or state tax purposes or which would violate any state or federal statute, regulation, court order, judicial decree, or rule of law; (4) any requirement that reasonable transfer or administrative fees be paid in connection with a transfer or assignment; (5) any requirement that advance notice of a transfer or assignment be given to the entity; (6) any restriction on substitution of an assignee as a limited partner of a partnership, including a general partner consent requirement, provided that the economic benefits of ownership of the assignor may be transferred or assigned without regard to such restriction or consent; and (7) any administrative procedure which establishes an effective date, or an event, prior to which a transfer or assignment will not be effective. While we reasonably believe that our stock will meet the “freely transferrable” requirement, this area of the law is not well-developed and no assurance can be given that the DOL or the courts would not take a position concluding that the “freely transferrable” or other requirements were not met.

 

113
 

 

Prohibited Transaction Considerations

 

Fiduciaries of benefit plan investors should also consider whether an investment in us could involve a direct or indirect transaction with a “party in interest” or “disqualified person” as defined in ERISA and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, and if so, whether such prohibited transaction may be covered by an exemption. ERISA contains a statutory exemption that permits a benefit plan investor to enter into a transaction with a person who is a party in interest or a disqualified person solely by reason of being a service provider or affiliated with a service provider to the benefit plan investor, provided that the transaction is for “adequate consideration.” There are also a number of statutory or regulatory exemptions or administrative prohibited transaction class exemptions that may be available to certain fiduciaries acting on behalf of a benefit plan investor. Fiduciaries of benefit plan investors should also consider whether investment in our company could involve a conflict of interest. In particular, a prohibited conflict of interest could arise if the fiduciary acting on behalf of the benefit plan investor has any interest in or affiliation with us.

 

Other Benefit Plans & Similar Arrangements

 

Certain plans and arrangements such as governmental plans, non-electing church plans, and foreign plans are not subject to the fiduciary provisions of ERISA and are also not subject to the prohibited transaction provisions under Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, such plans and arrangements may be subject to federal, state, local, or non-U.S. laws or regulations governing the investment and management of the assets of such plans including limitations on permissible investments. Accordingly, fiduciaries or other parties authorized to act on behalf of such plans and arrangements, in consultation with their advisors, should consider the requirements of applicable law on an investment in our company.

 

The fiduciary or others authorized to act on behalf of such plans will be required to represent and warrant that an investment in us is permissible, complies in all respects with applicable law and has been duly authorized.

 

Individuals Investing With IRA Assets

 

Shares sold by us may be purchased or owned by investors who are investing assets of their IRAs. Our acceptance of an investment by an IRA should not be considered to be a determination or representation by us or any of our respective affiliates that such an investment is appropriate for an IRA. In consultation with its advisors, each prospective IRA investor should carefully consider whether an investment in us is appropriate for, and permissible under, the terms of its IRA governing documents. IRA investors should consider in particular that our shares will be illiquid and that it is not expected that a significant market will exist for the resale of our shares, as well as the other general fiduciary considerations described above.

 

Although IRAs are not subject to ERISA, they are subject to the provisions of Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, prohibiting transactions with “disqualified persons” and investments and transactions involving fiduciary conflicts. A prohibited transaction or conflict of interest could arise if the fiduciary making the decision to invest has a personal interest in or affiliation with us or any of our affiliates. In the case of an IRA, a prohibited transaction or conflict of interest that involves the beneficiary of the IRA could result in disqualification of the IRA. A fiduciary for an IRA who has any personal interest in or affiliation with us or any of our affiliates, should consult with his or her tax and legal advisors regarding the impact such interest may have on an investment in our shares with assets of the IRA.

 

Annual Valuation

 

A fiduciary of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA is required to determine annually the fair market value of each asset of the plan as of the end of the plan’s fiscal year and to file a report reflecting that value with the Department of Labor. When the fair market value of any particular asset is not available, the fiduciary is required to make a good faith determination of that asset’s fair market value, assuming an orderly liquidation at the time the determination is made. In addition, a trustee or custodian of an IRA must provide an IRA participant with a statement of the value of the IRA each year. In discharging its obligation to value assets of a plan, a fiduciary subject to ERISA must act consistently with the relevant provisions of the plan and the general fiduciary standards of ERISA.

 

114
 

 

Unless and until our shares are listed on a national securities exchange, we do not expect that a public market for our shares will develop. To date, neither the IRS nor the Department of Labor has promulgated regulations specifying how a plan fiduciary should determine the fair market value of shares when the fair market value of such shares is not determined in the marketplace. Until 18 months after the last offering of our shares and prior to any listing of our shares on a national securities exchange, we intend to use the offering price of shares in our most recent offering as the estimated value of a share of our common stock; provided, however, that if we have sold properties or other assets and have made one or more special distributions to stockholders of all or a portion of the net proceeds from such sales, the estimated value of a share of our common stock will be equal to the offering price of shares in our most recent offering less the amount of net sale proceeds per share that constitute a return of capital distributed to investors as a result of such sales. Beginning 18 months after the last offering of our shares and prior to any listing of our shares on a national securities exchange, the estimated value of our shares will be based on valuations of our properties and other assets. These valuations may be prepared by persons independent of us and our advisor.

 

Conclusion

 

Acceptance of subscriptions of any benefit plan is in no respect a representation by us or any other party that such investment meets the relevant legal requirements with respect to that benefit plan or that the investment is appropriate for such benefit plan. Each benefit plan fiduciary should consult with his or her own legal advisors as to the propriety of an investment in our company in light of the specific requirements applicable to that benefit plan.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

General

 

We are offering up to $1,100,000,000 in shares of our common stock in this offering. We are offering $1,000,000,000 in shares of our common stock to the public at a price of $25.00 per share, which we refer to as the primary offering. We are also offering $100,000,000 in shares of our common stock to our stockholders pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at a price of $23.75 per share. We reserve the right to reallocate the shares of common stock we are offering between the primary offering and our distribution reinvestment plan. Prior to the conclusion of this offering, if any of the shares of our common stock initially allocated to our distribution reinvestment plan remain unsold after meeting anticipated obligations under our distribution reinvestment plan, we may decide to sell some or all of such shares of common stock to the public in the primary offering. Similarly, prior to the conclusion of this offering, if the shares of our common stock initially allocated to our distribution reinvestment plan have been purchased and we anticipate additional demand for shares of common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan, we may choose to reallocate some or all of the shares of our common stock allocated to be offered in the primary offering to our distribution reinvestment plan.

 

We are offering shares in our primary offering until the earlier of (1) the date all the shares offered in the primary offering are sold or (2) two years from the initial effective date of the registration statement for this offering. Under rules promulgated by the SEC, we may be able to extend this offering one additional year. Under rules promulgated by the SEC, in some circumstances in which we are pursuing the registration of shares of our common stock in a follow-on offering, we could continue the primary offering until as late as      , 2018. In many states, we renew the registration statement or file a new registration statement to continue this offering beyond one year from the date of this prospectus. We may terminate this offering at any time.

 

The offering price may not be indicative of the price our stockholders would receive if they sold our shares in an arms-length transaction, if our shares were actively traded or if we were liquidated. In addition, the proceeds received from a liquidation of our assets may be substantially less than the offering price of our shares because of the fees and costs associated with this offering. Our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, from time to time, change the price at which we offer shares to the public in the primary offering or pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan based upon changes in our estimated value per share and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant.

 

We are offering the shares of our common stock to the public on a best efforts basis, which means generally that our dealer manager and the participating broker-dealers described below will be required to use only their best efforts to sell the shares of our common stock, and they have no firm commitment or obligation to purchase any shares of our common stock. Our agreement with our dealer manager may be terminated by either party upon 60 days’ written notice.

 

Minimum Offering

 

Subscription proceeds will be placed in escrow until such time as subscriptions aggregating at least the minimum offering of $2,000,000 in shares of our common stock have been received and accepted by us. Funds in escrow will be invested in short-term investments, which may include obligations of, or obligations guaranteed by, the U.S. government or bank money-market accounts or certificates of deposit of national or state banks that have deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (including certificates of deposit of any bank acting as a depository or custodian for any such funds) that can be readily sold, with appropriate safety of principal. Subscribers may not withdraw funds from the escrow account. Any purchase of shares by our sponsor and its affiliates and our directors and officers will be included for purposes of determining whether the minimum of $2,000,000 of shares of common stock has been sold. If subscriptions for at least the minimum offering have not been received and accepted by             , 2016, this offering will be terminated and your funds will be returned to you within ten (10) business days after the date of such termination. Interest will accrue on funds in the escrow account as applicable to the short-term investments in which such funds are invested. During any period in which subscription proceeds are held in escrow, interest earned thereon will be allocated among subscribers on the basis of the respective amounts of their subscriptions and the number of days that such amounts were on deposit. Such interest will be paid to subscribers upon the termination of the escrow period, subject to withholding for taxes pursuant to applicable Treasury regulations. We will bear all expenses of the escrow and, as such, any interest to be paid to any subscriber will not be reduced for such expense.

 

Dealer Manager and Participating Broker-Dealer Compensation and Terms

 

Except as provided below, Moody Securities, LLC, our dealer manager, receives a sales commission of 7.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock in the primary offering. The dealer manager also receives 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock in the primary offering in the form of a dealer manager fee as compensation for acting as the dealer manager. We do not pay any sales commission or dealer manager fee for shares of our common stock sold pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. We will also reimburse our dealer manager for accountable bona fide due diligence expenses supported by detailed itemized invoices. Our advisor receives reimbursement for cumulative organization and offering expenses incurred by our advisor such as legal, accounting, printing and other offering expenses, including marketing, salaries and direct expenses of its employees, employees of its affiliates and others while engaged in registering and marketing the shares of our common stock, which includes development of marketing materials and marketing presentations, planning and participating in due diligence and training and education and generally coordinating the marketing process for us. Any such reimbursements will not exceed actual expenses incurred by the advisor and will only be made to the extent that such reimbursements would not cause the cumulative sales commission, the dealer manager fee and other organization and offering expenses borne by us to exceed 15.0% of gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares in the primary offering as of the date of reimbursement. Our advisor and its affiliates are responsible for the payment of our cumulative organization and offering expenses to the extent that total organization and offering expenses, including sales commissions, dealer manager fees and accountable due diligence expenses, exceed 15.0% of the aggregate gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares in the primary offering, without recourse against or reimbursement by us. We do not pay referral or similar fees to any accountants, attorneys or other persons in connection with the distribution of the shares of our common stock.

Our dealer manager may authorize certain additional broker-dealers who are members of FINRA to participate in selling shares of our common stock to investors. Our dealer manager may re-allow all or a portion of its sales commissions from the sale of shares in the primary offering to such participating broker-dealers with respect to shares of our common stock sold by them. Our dealer manager, in its sole discretion, may also re-allow to participating broker-dealers a portion of its dealer manager fee for reimbursement of marketing expenses. The maximum amount of reimbursements would be based on such factors as the number of shares sold by participating broker-dealers, the assistance of such participating broker-dealers in marketing the offering and due diligence expenses incurred.

 

As required by the rules of FINRA, total underwriting compensation will not exceed 10.0% of our gross offering proceeds. FINRA and many states limit our total organization and offering expenses, which includes underwriting compensation, reimbursement of bona fide due diligence expenses and issuer organization and offering expenses, to 15.0% of gross offering proceeds. Assuming we raise the maximum offering amount, we expect our total organization and offering expenses to be approximately 12.0% of the gross offering proceeds from our primary offering.

 

Expense  Maximum Percent of Gross Primary Offering Proceeds 
Sales commissions (1)   7.0%
Dealer manager fee (1)   3.0%
All other organization and offering expenses (2)   2.0%
Total   12.0%

 

 

(1)

We may later elect to modify our commission structure, including adopting multiple share classes or trailing commissions, depending on changes in industry regulations and best practices. Any such modification, and subsequent offers and sales, will be subject to any applicable regulatory approvals.

(2)Organizational and offering expenses consist of reimbursement of, among other items, the cumulative cost of actual legal, accounting, printing and other accountable offering expenses, including amounts to reimburse our advisor for marketing, salaries and direct expenses of its employees, employees of its affiliates and others while engaged in registering and marketing the shares of our common stock to be sold in this offering, which expenses include the development of marketing materials and marketing presentations, participating in due diligence, training seminars and educational conferences and coordinating generally the marketing process for this offering.

 

To the extent permitted by law and our charter, we will indemnify the participating broker-dealers, including our dealer manager, against certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act and certain liabilities arising from breaches of our representations and warranties contained in our dealer manager agreement.

 

Sales Commissions and Volume Discounts

 

Our executive officers and directors and their immediate family members, as well as officers and employees of our advisor and our advisor’s affiliates and their immediate family members, and, if approved by our board of directors, joint venture partners, consultants and other service providers may purchase shares of our common stock in this offering and may be charged a reduced rate for certain fees and expenses in respect of such purchases. We expect that a limited number of shares of our common stock will be sold to such persons. However, except for certain share ownership and transfer restrictions contained in our charter, there is no limit on the number of shares of our common stock that may be sold to such persons. In addition, the sales commission and dealer manager fee may be reduced or waived in connection with certain categories of sales, such as sales for which a volume discount applies, sales to our affiliates and sales under our distribution reinvestment plan. The amount of net proceeds to us will not be affected by reducing or eliminating the sales commissions or the dealer manager fee payable in connection with sales to such investors and affiliates. Our advisor and its affiliates will be expected to hold their shares of our common stock purchased as stockholders for investment and not with a view towards distribution.

 

Certain institutional investors and our affiliates may also agree with a participating broker-dealer selling shares of our common stock (or with our dealer manager if no participating broker-dealer is involved in the transaction) to reduce or eliminate the sales commission. The amount of net proceeds to us will not be affected by reducing or eliminating commissions payable in connection with sales to such institutional investors and affiliates.

 

117
 

 

In connection with sales of over $500,000 or more to a qualifying purchaser (as defined below), a participating broker-dealer may offer such qualifying purchaser a volume discount by reducing the amount of its sales commissions. Any reduction in the amount of the selling commissions in respect of volume discounts received will be credited to the qualifying purchaser in the form of additional shares, effectively reducing the per share purchase price payable by the qualifying purchaser. Fractional shares will be issued.

 

Assuming a public offering price of $25.00 per share, the following table illustrates the various discount levels that may be offered to qualifying purchasers by participating broker-dealers for shares purchased in the primary offering:

 

Commissions on Sales per Incremental Share in Volume Discount Range

 

Dollar Volume of Shares Purchased  Purchase Price per Share to Investor   Percentage (Based on $25.00/ Share)   Amount per Share   Dealer Manager Fee per Share   Net Proceeds per Share 
$500,000 or less  $25.00    7.0%  $1.75   $0.75   $22.50 
$500,001-$750,000  $24.75    6.0%  $1.50   $0.75   $22.50 
$750,001-$1,000,000  $24.50    5.0%  $1.25   $0.75   $22.50 
$1,000,001-$2,000,000  $24.25    4.0%  $1.00   $0.75   $22.50 
$2,000,001-$3,000,000  $24.00    3.0%  $0.75   $0.75   $22.50 
$3,000,001-$5,000,000  $23.75    2.0%  $0.50   $0.75   $22.50 
Over $5,000,001  $23.50    1.0%  $0.25   $0.75   $22.50 

 

As an example, a single purchaser would receive 30,101.01 shares rather than 30,000 shares for an investment of $750,000 and the selling commission would be $50,051.51. The discount would be calculated as follows: the purchaser would acquire 20,000 shares at a cost of $25.00 and 10,101.01 at a cost of $24.75 per share and would pay commissions of $1.75 per share for 20,000 shares and $1.50 per share for 10,101.01 shares. The dealer manager fee of $0.75 per share would still be payable out of the purchase price per share for the shares purchased. In no event will the proceeds to us be less than $22.50 per share. If we revise the offering price in this offering, the percentage discounts on sales commissions set out above will be applied to the new offering price.

 

We will apply the reduced per share purchase price on the portion of the purchase which exceeds the $500,000 share purchase threshold. Subscriptions may be combined for the purpose of determining the volume discounts in the case of subscriptions made by any qualifying purchaser, provided all such shares are purchased through the same broker-dealer. The volume discount shall be prorated among the separate subscribers considered to be a single qualifying purchaser. Any request to combine more than one subscription must be made in writing submitted simultaneously with your subscription for shares, and must set forth the basis for such request. Any such request will be subject to verification by the dealer manager that all of such subscriptions were made by a single qualifying purchaser.

 

For the purposes of such volume discounts, the term “qualifying purchaser” includes:

 

an individual, his or her spouse and their children under the age of 21 who purchase the shares for his, her or their own accounts;

 

a corporation, partnership, association, joint-stock company, trust fund or any organized group of persons, whether incorporated or not;

 

an employees’ trust, pension, profit sharing or other employee benefit plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code; and

 

all commingled trust funds maintained by a given bank.

 

Notwithstanding the above, in connection with volume sales, investors who would not constitute a single qualifying purchaser may request in writing to aggregate subscriptions as part of a combined order for purposes of determining the number of shares purchased, provided that any aggregate group of subscriptions must be received from the same participating broker-dealer, including the dealer manager. Any such reduction in selling commission will be prorated among the separate subscribers.

 

Because all investors will be paid the same distributions per share as other investors, an investor qualifying for a volume discount will receive a higher percentage return on his or her investment than investors who do not qualify for such discount. Investors should ask their broker-dealer about the opportunity to receive volume discounts by either qualifying as a qualifying purchaser or by having their subscription(s) aggregated with the subscriptions of other investors, as described above.

 

118
 

 

We will not pay any selling commissions in connection with the sale of shares to investors whose contracts for investment advisory and related brokerage services include a fixed or “wrap” fee feature. Investors may agree with their participating brokers to reduce the amount of selling commissions payable with respect to the sale of their shares down to zero if (1) the investor has engaged the services of a registered investment advisor or other financial advisor who will be paid compensation for investment advisory services or other financial or investment advice or (2) the investor is investing through a bank trust account with respect to which the investor has delegated the decision-making authority for investments made through the account to a bank trust department. The net proceeds to us will not be affected by reducing the commissions payable in connection with such transaction. All such sales must be made through registered broker-dealers. Neither our dealer manager nor its affiliates will directly or indirectly compensate any person engaged as an investment advisor or a bank trust department by a potential investor as an inducement for such investment advisor or bank trust department to advise favorably for an investment in our shares. In connection with the sale of shares to investors who elect the “wrap fee” feature, the dealer manager may pay to the registered investment advisor or other financial advisor or the company that sponsors the wrap account, service or other denominated fees on an annual basis.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder
Moody National REIT II, Inc.:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Moody National REIT II, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations, equity and cash flows for the period from July 25, 2014 (date of inception) through December 31, 2014.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Moody National REIT II, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the period from July 25, 2014 (date of inception) through December 31, 2014 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

MOODY NATIONAL REIT II, INC. 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

December 31, 2014

 

1.Organization

 

Moody National REIT II, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on July 25, 2014, as a Maryland corporation and intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”).  The Company expects to use the proceeds from its initial public offering to invest in a portfolio of hospitality properties focusing primarily on the premier-brand, select-service segment of the hospitality sector.  To a lesser extent, the Company may also invest in hospitality-related real estate securities and debt investments. As discussed in Note 3, the Company issued common stock to Moody National REIT Sponsor, LLC (“Sponsor”) on August 15, 2014. The Company has not begun operations.

 

The Company is offering a maximum of 40,000,000 shares of its common stock to the public in its primary offering (the “Offering”) at $25.00 per share, with discounts available to certain purchasers, and 4,210,526 shares of its common stock pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP”) at $23.75 per share.  The Company may reallocate the shares between the Offering and the DRP. In addition, the Company’s board of directors may, from time to time, in its sole discretion, change the price at which the Company offers shares to the public in the Offering or to its stockholders pursuant to the DRP to reflect changes in the Company’s estimated value per share and other factors that the Company’s board of directors deems relevant.

 

The Company’s advisor is Moody National Advisor II, LLC (“Advisor”), a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of Sponsor. Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, Advisor is responsible for managing the Company’s affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying and making acquisitions and investments on behalf of the Company.

 

Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through Moody National Operating Partnership II, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “OP”). The Company is the sole general partner of the OP. The initial limited partners of the OP are Moody OP Holdings II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Moody OP”), and Moody National LPOP II, LLC (“Moody LPOP II”), an affiliate of Advisor. Moody OP has invested $1,000 in the OP in exchange for limited partner interests, and Moody LPOP II has invested $1,000 in the OP in exchange for a separate class of limited partnership interests (the “Special Limited Partnership Interests”). As the Company accepts subscriptions for shares, it will transfer substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering to the OP as a capital contribution. The partnership agreement provides that the OP will be operated in a manner that will enable the Company to (1) satisfy the requirements for being classified as a REIT for tax purposes, (2) avoid any federal income or excise tax liability, and (3) ensure that the OP will not be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” for purposes of Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), which classification could result in the OP being taxed as a corporation, rather than as a partnership.  In addition to the administrative and operating costs and expenses incurred by the OP in acquiring and operating real properties, the OP will pay all of the Company’s administrative costs and expenses, and such expenses will be treated as expenses of the OP.

 

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Consolidation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and the accounts of subsidiaries over which the Company has control, including the OP and Moody OP. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Organization and Offering Costs

 

Organization and offering costs of the Company will be incurred by Advisor on behalf of the Company and, accordingly, are not a direct liability of the Company. Under the terms of the agreement with Advisor, upon the sale of shares of common stock to the public, the Company will be obligated to reimburse Advisor for organization and offering costs incurred by Advisor in connection with the Offering. The amount of the reimbursement to Advisor for cumulative organization and offering costs is limited to a maximum amount of up to 15% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock sold in the Company’s public offerings. Such costs shall include legal, accounting, printing and other offering expenses, including marketing, salaries and direct expenses of Advisor’s employees and employees of Advisor’s affiliates and others. Any such reimbursement will not exceed actual expenses incurred by Advisor.

 

F-7
 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company intends to make an election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code, commencing in the taxable year in which the Company raises $2,000,000 in the Offering.  If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent it distributes its REIT taxable income to its stockholders, so long as it distributes at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)).  REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements.  Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less.

 

3.Capitalization

 

Under the Company’s charter, the Company has the authority to issue 999,999,000 shares of common stock, 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, and 1,000 shares of non-participating, non-voting convertible stock.  All shares of such stock have a par value of $0.01 per share.  On August 15, 2014, the Company sold 8,000 shares of common stock to Sponsor at a purchase price of $25.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000, which was paid in cash.  The Company’s board of directors is authorized to amend its charter, without the approval of the stockholders, to increase the aggregate number of authorized shares of capital stock or the number of shares of any class or series that the Company has authority to issue.

 

4.Related Party Arrangements

 

Advisor and certain affiliates of Advisor receive fees and compensation in connection with the Company’s public offering, and the acquisition, management and sale of the Company’s real estate investments. In addition, in exchange for $1,000 and in consideration of services to be provided by Advisor, the OP has issued an affiliate of the Advisor, Moody LPOP II, a separate, special limited partnership interest, in the form of Special Limited Partnership Interests. For further detail, please see Note 6 (“Subordinated Partnership Interest”) below.

 

Moody National Securities, LLC (“Moody Securities”), the dealer manager of the Offering, receives a commission of up to 7.0% of gross offering proceeds.  Moody Securities may reallow all or a portion of such sales commissions earned to participating broker-dealers.  In addition, the Company pays Moody Securities a dealer manager fee of up to 3.0% of gross offering proceeds, a portion of which may be reallowed to participating broker-dealers.  No selling commissions or dealer manager fee are paid for sales under the DRP.

 

Advisor receives reimbursement for organizational and offering expenses incurred on the Company’s behalf, but only to the extent that such reimbursements do not exceed actual expenses incurred by Advisor and do not cause the cumulative sales commission, the dealer manager fee and other organization and offering expenses borne by the Company to exceed 15.0% of gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares in its public offering as of the date of reimbursement.

 

Advisor, or its affiliates, also receive an acquisition fee equal to 1.5% of (1) the cost of all investments the Company acquires (including the Company’s pro rata share of any indebtedness assumed or incurred in respect of the investment and exclusive of acquisition and financing coordination fees), (2)  the Company’s allocable cost of investments acquired in a joint venture (including the Company’s pro rata share of the purchase price and the Company’s pro rata share of any indebtedness assumed or incurred in respect of that investment and exclusive of acquisition fees and financing coordination fees) or (3) the amount funded by the Company to acquire or originate a loan or other investment, including mortgage, mezzanine or bridge loans (including any third-party expenses related to such investment and exclusive of acquisition fees and financing coordination fees). Once the proceeds from the primary public offering have been fully invested, the aggregate amount of acquisition fees and financing coordination fees shall not exceed 1.9% of the contract purchase price and the amount advanced for a loan or other investment, as applicable, for all the assets acquired.

 

Advisor also receives financing coordination fees of 1% of the amount available under any loan or line of credit made available to the Company and 0.75% of the amount available or outstanding under any refinanced loan or line of credit. Advisor will pay some or all of these fees to third parties with whom it subcontracts to coordinate financing for the Company.

 

The Company pays Moody National Hospitality Management, LLC (“Property Manager”), a monthly hotel management fee equal to 4.0% of the monthly gross receipts from the properties managed by Property Manager for services it provides in connection with operating and managing properties. Property Manager may pay some or all of the compensation it receives from the Company to a third-party property manager for management or leasing services. In the event that the Company contracts directly with a non-affiliated third-party property manager, the Company will pay Property Manager a market-based oversight fee. The Company will reimburse the costs and expenses incurred by Property Manager on the Company’s behalf, including legal, travel and other out-of-pocket expenses that are directly related to the management of specific properties, but the Company will not reimburse Property Manager for general overhead costs or personnel costs other than employees or subcontractors who are engaged in the on-site operation, management, maintenance or access control of the properties.

The Company also pays an annual incentive fee to Property Manager. Such annual incentive fee is equal to 15% of the amount by which the operating profit from the properties managed by Property Manager for such fiscal year (or partial fiscal year) exceeds 8.5% of the total investment of such properties. Property Manager may pay some or all of this annual fee to third-party sub-property managers for management services. For purposes of this fee, “total investment” means the sum of (i) the price paid to acquire a property, including closing costs, conversion costs, and transaction costs; (ii) additional invested capital; and (iii) any other costs paid in connection with the acquisition of the property, whether incurred pre- or post-acquisition.

 

The Company pays Advisor a monthly asset management fee of one-twelfth of 1.0% all real estate investments the Company acquires.

 

Advisor or its affiliates also are paid a disposition fee in an amount of up to one-half of the brokerage commission paid but in no event greater than 3.0% of the contract sales price of each property or other investment sold; provided, however, in no event may the aggregate of the disposition fees paid to the Advisor and any real estate commissions paid to unaffiliated third parties exceed 6.0% of the contract sales price.

 

The Company reimburses Advisor for all expenses paid or incurred by Advisor in connection with the services provided to the Company, subject to the limitation that the Company will not reimburse Advisor for any amount by which its operating expenses (including the asset management fee) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of:  (1) 2% of its average invested assets, or (2) 25% of its net income determined without reduction for any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of the Company’s assets for that period.  Notwithstanding the above, the Company may reimburse Advisor for expenses in excess of this limitation if a majority of the independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors.

 

5.Incentive Award Plan

 

The Company has adopted an incentive plan (the “Incentive Award Plan”) that provides for the grant of equity awards to its employees, directors and consultants and those of the Company’s affiliates. The Incentive Award Plan authorizes the grant of non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents and other stock-based awards or cash-based awards. Shares of common stock will be authorized and reserved for issuance under the Incentive Award Plan. The Company has adopted an independent directors compensation plan (the “Independent Directors Compensation Plan”) pursuant to which each of the Company’s independent directors is entitled, subject to the plan’s conditions and restrictions, to receive an initial grant of 5,000 shares of restricted stock when the Company raises the minimum offering amount of $2,000,000 in its Offering. Each new independent director that subsequently joins the Company’s board of directors will receive a grant of 5,000 shares of restricted stock upon his or her election to the Company’s board of directors. In addition, on the date of each of the first four annual meetings of the Company’s stockholders at which an independent director is re-elected to the Company’s board of directors, he or she will receive an additional grant of 2,500 shares of restricted stock. Subject to certain conditions, the non-vested shares of restricted stock granted pursuant to the Independent Directors Compensation Plan will vest and become non-forfeitable in four equal quarterly installments beginning on the first day of the first quarter following the date of grant; provided, however, that the restricted stock will become fully vested on the earlier to occur of (1) the termination of the independent director’s service as a director due to his or her death or disability, or (2) a change in control of the Company. No awards have been granted under either plan as of December 31, 2014.

 

6.Subordinated Partnership Interest

 

Pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement for the OP approved by the Company’s initial directors, Moody LPOP II, the holder of the Special Limited Partnership Interests, are entitled to receive distributions equal to 15.0% of the OP’s net cash flows, whether from continuing operations, the repayment of loans, the disposition of assets or otherwise, but only after the Company’s stockholders have received, in the aggregate, cumulative distributions equal to their total invested capital plus a 6.0% cumulative, non-compounded annual pre-tax return on such aggregated invested capital. In addition, the Special Limited Partnership Interest holder is entitled to a separate payment if it redeems its Special Limited Partnership Interests. The Special Limited Partnership Interests may be redeemed upon: (1) the listing of the Company’s common stock on a national securities exchange; or (2) the occurrence of certain events that result in the termination or non-renewal of the Company’s advisory agreement, in each case for an amount that that Moody LPOP II would have been entitled to receive had the OP disposed of all of its assets at the enterprise valuation as of the date of the event triggering the redemption.

 

7. Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated all events subsequent to the consolidated financial statements through January 12, 2015. The Company concluded that no events necessitate recognition in the consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2014.

APPENDIX A
PRIOR PERFORMANCE TABLES

 

The following prior performance tables provide information relating to the real estate investment programs sponsored by Moody National and its affiliates, collectively referred to herein as the “prior real estate programs.” These programs were not prior programs of Moody National REIT II, Inc. Moody National and its affiliates provide commercial real estate services, which focus on identifying and developing institutional quality real estate products and programs for individual and institutional investors. Each individual prior real estate program has its own specific investment objectives; however, the general investment objectives common to all prior real estate programs include providing investors with (1) exposure to investment in real estate as an asset class and (2) current income. Accordingly, each of the prior real estate programs has similar investment objectives to those of Moody National REIT II, Inc.

 

This information should be read together with the summary information included in the “Prior Performance Summary” section of this prospectus.

 

INVESTORS SHOULD NOT CONSTRUE INCLUSION OF THE FOLLOWING TABLES AS IMPLYING, IN ANY MANNER, THAT WE WILL HAVE RESULTS COMPARABLE TO THOSE REFLECTED IN SUCH TABLES. DISTRIBUTABLE CASH FLOW, FEDERAL INCOME TAX DEDUCTIONS OR OTHER FACTORS COULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT. INVESTORS SHOULD NOTE THAT, BY ACQUIRING OUR SHARES, THEY WILL NOT BE ACQUIRING ANY INTEREST IN ANY PRIOR PROGRAM.

 

Description of the Tables

 

All information contained in the Tables in this Appendix A is as of December 31, 2013. The following tables are included herein:

 

Table III—Annual Operating Results of Prior Real Estate Programs

 

Table IV—Operating Results of Prior Real Estate Programs Which Have Completed Operations

 

Table V—Sale or Disposition of Properties by Prior Real Estate Programs

 

We have not included in this Appendix A Table I (Experience in Raising and Investing Funds) or Table II (Compensation to Sponsor) because there are no prior real estate programs the offering of which closed during the three years ended December 31, 2013 and therefore Tables I and II are inapplicable.

APPENDIX C
DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLAN

 

This DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLAN (the “Plan”) is adopted by Moody National REIT II, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to its charter (the “Charter”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Charter.

 

1.         Distribution Reinvestment. As agent for the stockholders (the “Stockholders”) of the Company who purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (“Shares”) pursuant to the Company’s initial public offering (the “Initial Offering”) or any future offering of the Shares (“Future Offering”), and who elect to participate in the Plan (the “Participants”), the Company will apply all distributions declared and paid in respect of the Shares held by each Participant (the “Distributions”), including Distributions paid with respect to any full or fractional Shares acquired under the Plan, to the purchase of Shares for such Participants directly, if permitted under state securities laws and, if not, through the Dealer Manager or Soliciting Dealers registered in the Participant’s state of residence.

 

2.         Effective Date. The effective date of this Plan shall be the date that the minimum offering requirements (as defined in the Prospectus relating to the Initial Offering) are met in connection with the Initial Offering.

 

3.         Procedure for Participation. Any Stockholder who has received a Prospectus, as contained in the registration statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), may elect to become a Participant by completing and executing the subscription agreement, an enrollment form or any other appropriate authorization form as may be made available by the Company, the Dealer Manager or the Soliciting Dealer. Participation in the Plan will begin with the next Distribution payable after acceptance of a Participant’s subscription, enrollment or authorization. Shares will be purchased under the Plan on the date that Distributions are paid by the Company.

 

4.         Suitability. Each Participant is requested to promptly notify the Company in writing if the Participant experiences a material change in his or her financial condition, including the failure to meet the income, net worth and investment concentration standards imposed by such Participant’s state of residence and set forth in the Company’s most recent prospectus. For the avoidance of doubt, this request in no way shifts to the Participant the responsibility of the Sponsor, or any other person selling shares on behalf of the Company to the Participant to make every reasonable effort to determine that the purchase of Shares is a suitable and appropriate investment based on information provided by such Participant.

 

5.         Purchase of Shares. Participants will acquire Shares from the Company under the Plan (the “Plan Shares”) at $23.75 per Share; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, from time to time, change this price based upon changes in the Company’s estimated value per share and other factors that the Board of Directors deems relevant. If the Company determines to change the price at which the Company offers shares, the Company does not anticipate that it will do so more frequently than quarterly. Participants may acquire Shares from the Company under the Plan until the earliest of (a) all the Plan Shares registered in the Initial Offering or any Future Offering are issued, (b) the Initial Offering and any Future Offering of Plan Shares terminate and the Company elects to deregister with the SEC the unsold Plan Shares, or (c) there is more than a de minimis amount of trading in the Shares, at which time any registered Plan Shares then available under the Plan will be sold at a price equal to the fair market value of the Shares, as determined by the Board of Directors by reference to the applicable sales price with respect to the most recent trades occurring on or prior to the relevant Distribution date. Participants in the Plan may also purchase fractional Shares so that 100% of the Distributions will be used to acquire Shares. However, a Participant will not be able to acquire Plan Shares to the extent that any such purchase would cause such Participant to exceed the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit or the Common Share Ownership Limit as set forth in the Charter or otherwise would cause a violation of the Share ownership restrictions set forth in the Charter.

 

Shares to be distributed by the Company in connection with the Plan may (but are not required to) be supplied from: (a) the Plan Shares which will be registered with the SEC in connection with the Company’s Initial Offering, (b) Shares to be registered with the SEC in a Future Offering for use in the Plan (a “Future Registration”), or (c) Shares purchased by the Company for the Plan in a secondary market (if available) or on a stock exchange (if listed) (collectively, the “Secondary Market”).

 

Shares purchased in any Secondary Market will be purchased at the then-prevailing market price, which price will be utilized for purposes of issuing Shares in the Plan. Shares acquired by the Company in any Secondary Market or registered in a Future Registration for use in the Plan may be at prices lower or higher than the Share price which will be paid for the Plan Shares pursuant to the Initial Offering.

 

If the Company acquires Shares in any Secondary Market for use in the Plan, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to acquire Shares at the lowest price then reasonably available. However, the Company does not in any respect guarantee or warrant that the Shares so acquired and purchased by the Participant in the Plan will be at the lowest possible price. Further, irrespective of the Company’s ability to acquire Shares in any Secondary Market or to make a Future Offering for Shares to be used in the Plan, the Company is in no way obligated to do either, in its sole discretion.

 

6.         Taxes. IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT REINVESTMENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS DOES NOT RELIEVE A PARTICIPANT OF ANY INCOME TAX LIABILITY WHICH MAY BE PAYABLE ON THE DISTRIBUTIONS. INFORMATION REGARDING POTENTIAL TAX INCOME LIABILITY OF PARTICIPANTS MAY BE FOUND IN THE PUBLIC FILINGS MADE BY THE COMPANY WITH THE SEC.

 

C-1
 

 

7.         Share Certificates. The ownership of the Shares purchased through the Plan will be in book-entry form unless and until the Company issues certificates for its outstanding common stock.

 

8.         Reports. Within 90 days after the end of the Company’s fiscal year, the Company shall provide each Stockholder with an individualized report on such Stockholder’s investment, including the purchase date(s), purchase price and number of Shares owned, as well as the dates of Distributions and amounts of Distributions paid during the prior fiscal year. In addition, the Company shall provide to each Participant an individualized quarterly report at the time of each Distribution payment showing the number of Shares owned prior to the current Distribution, the amount of the current Distribution and the number of Shares owned after the current Distribution.

 

9.         Termination by Participant. A Participant may terminate participation in the Plan at any time, without penalty, by delivering to the Company a written notice. Prior to the listing of the Shares on a national stock exchange, any transfer of Shares by a Participant to a non-Participant will terminate participation in the Plan with respect to the transferred Shares. If a Participant terminates Plan participation, the Company will ensure that the terminating Participant’s account will reflect the whole number of shares in such Participant’s account and provide a check for the cash value of any fractional share in such account. Upon termination of Plan participation for any reason, Distributions will be distributed to the Stockholder in cash.

 

10.       Amendment, Suspension or Termination of Plan by the Company.  The Board of Directors may by majority vote (including a majority of the Independent Directors) amend, suspend or terminate the Plan for any reason upon ten days’ written notice to the Participants; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may not so amend the Plan to restrict or remove the right of Participants to terminate participation in the Plan at any time without penalty.

 

11.       Liability of the Company. The Company shall not be liable for any act done in good faith, or for any good faith omission to act, including, without limitation, any claims or liability (a) arising out of failure to terminate a Participant’s account upon such Participant’s death prior to receipt of notice in writing of such death; or (b) with respect to the time and the prices at which Shares are purchased or sold for a Participant’s account. To the extent that indemnification may apply to liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of a particular state, the Company has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC and certain state securities commissioners, such indemnification is contrary to public policy and, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 32. Sales to Special Parties.

 

Our executive officers and directors and their immediate family members, as well as officers and employees of our advisor and our advisor’s affiliates and their immediate family members, and, if approved by our board of directors, joint venture partners, consultants and other service providers, may purchase shares of our common stock in this offering and may be charged a reduced rate for certain fees and expenses in respect of such purchases. We expect that a limited number of shares of our common stock will be sold to such persons. However, except for certain share ownership and transfer restrictions contained in our charter, there is no limit on the number of shares of our common stock that may be sold to such persons. The amount of net proceeds to us will not be affected by reducing or eliminating the sales commissions or the dealer manager fee payable in connection with sales to such investors and affiliates. Our advisor and its affiliates will be expected to hold their shares of our common stock purchased as stockholders for investment and not with a view towards distribution.

 

Certain institutional investors and our affiliates may also agree with a participating broker-dealer selling shares of our common stock (or with our dealer manager if no participating broker-dealer is involved in the transaction) to reduce or eliminate the sales commission. The amount of net proceeds to us will not be affected by reducing or eliminating commissions payable in connection with sales to such institutional investors and affiliates.

 

In connection with sales of over $500,000 or more to a qualifying purchaser, a participating broker-dealer may offer such qualifying purchaser a volume discount by reducing the amount of its sales commissions. Such reduction would be credited to the qualifying purchaser by reducing the total purchase price of the shares payable by the qualifying purchaser.

 

We will not pay any sales commissions in connection with the sale of shares to investors whose contracts for investment advisory and related brokerage services include a fixed or “wrap” fee feature. Investors may agree with their participating brokers to reduce the amount of sales commissions payable with respect to the sale of their shares down to zero if (1) the investor has engaged the services of a registered investment advisor or other financial advisor who will be paid compensation for investment advisory services or other financial or investment advice or (2) the investor is investing through a bank trust account with respect to which the investor has delegated the decision-making authority for investments made through the account to a bank trust department. The net proceeds to us will not be affected by reducing the sales commissions payable in connection with such transaction.

 

Item 33. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

 

On August 15, 2014, we issued 8,000 shares of common stock at $25.00 per share to Moody National REIT Sponsor, LLC, our sponsor, in exchange for $200,000 in cash. We relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Our sponsor, by virtue of its affiliation with us, had access to information concerning our proposed operations and the terms and conditions of its investment.

 

On August 15, 2014, our operating partnership issued limited partnership interests to the limited partner for $1,000 and issued special limited partnership interests to the special limited partnership interest holder for $1,000. Our operating partnership relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. We, the limited partner and the special limited partnership interest holder, by virtue of our affiliation with our operating partnership, had access to information concerning our operating partnership’s proposed operations and the terms and conditions of its investment.

Item 34. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Subject to certain limitations, our charter limits the personal liability of our stockholders, directors and officers for monetary damages and provides that we will indemnify and pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to our directors, officers and advisor and our advisor’s affiliates. In addition, we have obtained directors and officers’ liability insurance.

 

The Maryland General Corporation Law, or the MGCL, permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages, except for liability resulting from (1) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (2) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment and which is material to the cause of action.

 

The MGCL requires a Maryland corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which our charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he is made or threatened to be made a party by reason of his service in that capacity. The MGCL allows directors and officers to be indemnified against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and expenses actually incurred in a proceeding unless the following can be established:

 

an act or omission of the director or officer was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty;

 

the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or

 

with respect to any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe his act or omission was unlawful.

 

However, indemnification for an adverse judgment in a suit by us or in our right, or for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, may not be made unless ordered by a court and then only for expenses.

 

The MGCL permits a Maryland corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon receipt of a written affirmation by the director or officer of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification and a written undertaking by him or on his behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct was not met.

 

However, our charter provides that we may indemnify our directors and our advisor and its affiliates for loss or liability suffered by them or hold them harmless for loss or liability suffered by us only if all of the following conditions are met:

 

our directors and our advisor or its affiliates have determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in our best interests;

 

our directors and our advisor or its affiliates were acting on our behalf or performing services for us;

 

in the case of affiliated directors and our advisor or its affiliates, the liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct;

 

in the case of our independent directors, the liability or loss was not the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct; and

 

the indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of our net assets and not from our stockholders.

 

Additionally, we have agreed to indemnify and hold harmless our advisor and its affiliates performing services for us from specific claims and liabilities arising out of the performance of their obligations under the advisory agreement, subject to the limitations set forth above. As a result, we and our stockholders may be entitled to a more limited right of action than we would otherwise have if these indemnification rights were not included in the advisory agreement.

 

The general effect to investors of any arrangement under which any of our controlling persons, directors or officers are insured or indemnified against liability is a potential reduction in distributions resulting from our payment of premiums associated with insurance or any indemnification for which we do not have adequate insurance.

 

The SEC takes the position that indemnification against liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, is against public policy and unenforceable. Indemnification of our directors and our advisor or its affiliates will not be allowed for liabilities arising from or out of a violation of state or federal securities laws, unless one or more of the following conditions are met:

 

II-2
 

 

there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged material securities law violations;

 

such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction; or

 

a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the SEC and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which the securities were offered as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

 

We may advance funds to our directors, our advisor and its affiliates for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of legal action for which indemnification is being sought only if all of the following conditions are met:

 

the legal proceeding relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of us;

 

the party seeking indemnification has provided us with written affirmation of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification;

 

the legal proceeding is initiated by a third party who is not a stockholder or the legal proceeding is initiated by a stockholder acting in his capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; and

 

the party seeking indemnification provides us with a written agreement to repay the advanced funds to us, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which he is found not to be entitled to indemnification.

 

Indemnification may reduce the legal remedies available to us and our stockholders against the indemnified individuals.

 

The aforementioned charter provisions do not reduce the exposure of directors and officers to liability under federal or state securities laws, nor do they limit a stockholder’s ability to obtain injunctive relief or other equitable remedies for a violation of a director’s or an officer’s duties to us or our stockholders, although the equitable remedies may not be an effective remedy in some circumstances. We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our executive officers and directors. The indemnification agreements will require, among other things, that we indemnify our executive officers and directors and advance to the executive officers and directors all related expenses, subject to reimbursement if it is subsequently determined that indemnification is not permitted. In accordance with these agreements, we must indemnify and advance all expenses incurred by executive officers and directors seeking to enforce their rights under the indemnification agreements. We will also cover officers and directors under our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

(ii)        to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; and

 

II-3
 

 

(iii)       to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed on the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act each such post-effective amendment may be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

 

(3) each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of this registration statement shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use;

 

(4) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering;

 

(5) that all post-effective amendments will comply with the applicable forms, rules and regulations of the SEC in effect at the time such post-effective amendments are filed;

 

(6) that in a primary offering of securities of the registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i)         any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(ii)        any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the registrant or used or referred to by the registrant;

 

(iii)       the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the registrant; and

 

(iv)       any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the registrant to the purchaser;

 

(7) to send to each stockholder, at least on an annual basis, a detailed statement of any transactions with the registrant’s advisor or its affiliates, and of fees, commissions, compensations and other benefits paid or accrued to the advisor or its affiliates, for the fiscal year completed, showing the amount paid or accrued to each recipient and the services performed;

 

(8) to provide to the stockholders the financial statements required by Form 10-K for the first full fiscal year of operations;

 

(9) to file a sticker supplement pursuant to Rule 424(c) under the Securities Act during the distribution period describing each significant property that has not been identified in the prospectus whenever a reasonable probability exists that a property will be acquired and to consolidate all stickers into a post-effective amendment filed at least once every three months during the distribution period, with the information contained in such amendment provided simultaneously to existing stockholders. Each sticker supplement shall disclose all compensation and fees received by the advisor and its affiliates in connection with any such acquisition. The post-effective amendment shall include or incorporate by reference audited financial statements in the format described in Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X that have been filed or are required to be filed on Form 8-K for all significant property acquisitions that have been consummated;

 

(10) to file, after the end of the distribution period, a current report on Form 8-K containing the financial statements and any additional information required by Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X, as appropriate based on the type of property acquired and the type of lease to which such property will be subject, for each significant property acquired and to provide the information contained in such report to the stockholders at least once per quarter after the distribution period of the offering has ended; and

 

(11) insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any such action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Up to $1,100,000,000 in Shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share

 

January 12, 2015

 

Moody Securities, LLC
6363 Woodway Drive
Suite 110
Houston, Texas 77057

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Moody National REIT II, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), has registered for public sale (the “Offering”) a maximum of $1,100,000,000 in shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of which amount: (a) up to $1,000,000,000 in shares of Common Stock are being offered to the public pursuant to the Company’s primary offering (the “Primary Shares”); and (b) up to $100,000,000 in shares of Common Stock are being offered to stockholders of the Company pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP Shares” and, together with the Primary Shares, the “Offered Shares”). The Primary Shares are to be issued and sold to the public on a “best efforts” basis through you (the “Dealer Manager”) as the managing dealer and the broker-dealers participating in the Offering (the “Participating Dealers”) at an initial offering price of $25.00 per share (subject in certain circumstances to discounts based upon the volume of shares purchased and for certain categories of purchasers). The DRIP Shares are to be issued and sold to stockholders at an initial price of $23.75 per share. The Company has reserved the right to (i) change the offering price per share in the Offering, including the price of DRIP Shares as described in the Prospectus (as defined herein) and (ii) reallocate the Offered Shares between the Primary Shares and the DRIP Shares.

 

The Company is the sole general partner of Moody National Operating Partnership II, LP, a Delaware limited partnership that serves as the Company’s operating partnership subsidiary (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company and the Operating Partnership hereby jointly and severally agree with you, the Dealer Manager, as follows:

 

1. Representations and Warranties of the Company and the Operating Partnership. The Company and the Operating Partnership hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Dealer Manager and each Participating Dealer with whom the Dealer Manager has entered into or will enter into a Participating Dealer Agreement (the “Participating Dealer Agreement”) substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A to this Dealer Manager Agreement (this “Agreement”), as of the date hereof and at all times during the Offering Period, as that term is defined in Section 5.1 (provided that, to the extent such representations and warranties are given only as of a specified date or dates, the Company and the Operating Partnership only make such representations and warranties as of such date or dates) as follows:

 

1.1 Compliance with Registration Requirements.

 

(a) A registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-198305), including a preliminary prospectus, for the registration of the Offered Shares has been prepared by the Company in accordance with applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act Regulations”), and was initially filed with the Commission on August 22, 2014 (the “Registration Statement”). The Company has prepared and filed such amendments thereto, if any, and such amended preliminary prospectuses, if any, as may have been required to the date hereof and will file such additional amendments and supplements thereto as may hereafter be required. As used in this Agreement, the term “Registration Statement” means the Registration Statement, as amended through the Effective Date (as defined below), except that, if the Company files any post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement, “Registration Statement” shall refer to the Registration Statement as so amended by the last post-effective amendment declared effective; the term “Effective Date” means the applicable date upon which the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto is or was first declared effective by the Commission; the term “Prospectus” means the prospectus, as amended or supplemented, on file with the Commission at the Effective Date of the Registration Statement (including financial statements, exhibits and all other documents related thereto filed as a part thereof or incorporated therein), except that if the Prospectus is amended or supplemented after the Effective Date, the term “Prospectus” shall refer to the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to date, and if the Prospectus filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) or 424(c) of the Securities Act Regulations shall differ from the Prospectus on file at the time the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement shall become effective, the term “Prospectus” shall refer to the Prospectus filed pursuant to either Rule 424(b) or 424(c) of the Securities Act Regulations from and after the date on which it shall have been filed with the Commission; and the term “Filing Date” means the applicable date upon which the initial Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto is filed with the Commission.

 

 
 

  

(b) The Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and any further amendments or supplements thereto, will, as of the applicable Effective Date or Filing Date, as the case may be, comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations; the Registration Statement does not, and any amendments thereto will not, in each case as of the applicable Effective Date, contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; and the Prospectus does not, and any amendment or supplement thereto will not, as of the applicable Filing Date, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company and the Operating Partnership make no warranty or representation with respect to any statement contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by the Dealer Manager or any Participating Dealer expressly for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto.

 

1.2 Good Standing of the Company and the Operating Partnership.

 

(a) The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Maryland, and is in good standing with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland, with full power and authority to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and to enter into this Agreement and to perform the transactions contemplated hereby; this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and is a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and by general equitable principles, and except to the extent that the enforceability of the indemnity provisions and the contribution provisions contained in Sections 7 and 8 of this Agreement, respectively, may be limited under applicable securities laws.

 

(b) The Operating Partnership is a limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full power and authority to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and to enter into this Agreement and to perform the transactions contemplated hereby; as of the date hereof the Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership; this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Operating Partnership and is a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Operating Partnership enforceable against the Operating Partnership in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and by general equitable principles, and except to the extent that the enforceability of the indemnity provisions and the contribution provisions contained in Sections 7 and 8 of this Agreement, respectively, may be limited under applicable securities laws.

 

(c) Each of the Company and the Operating Partnership has qualified to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the ownership or leasing of its properties or the nature or conduct of its business, as described in the Prospectus, requires such qualification, except where the failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, results of operations or cash flows of the Company and the Operating Partnership taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

1.3 Authorization and Description of Securities. The issuance and sale of the Offered Shares have been duly authorized by the Company, and, when issued and duly delivered against payment therefor as contemplated by this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance, security interest or other claim, and the issuance and sale of the Offered Shares by the Company are not subject to preemptive or other similar rights arising by operation of law, under the charter or bylaws of the Company or under any agreement to which the Company is a party or otherwise. The Offered Shares conform in all material respects to the description of the Common Stock contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. The authorized, issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Effective Date are as set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Capital Stock.” All offers and sales of the Common Stock prior to the date hereof were at all relevant times duly registered under the Securities Act or were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and were duly registered or the subject of an available exemption from the registration requirements of the applicable state securities or blue sky laws. As of the date hereof, the Operating Partnership has not issued any security or other equity interest other than units of partnership interest (“Units”) as set forth in the Prospectus, and none of such outstanding Units has been issued in violation of any preemptive right, and all of such Units have been issued by the Operating Partnership in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.

 

1.4 Absence of Defaults and Conflicts.

 

(a) The Company is not in violation of its charter or its bylaws and the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the issuance, sale and delivery of the Offered Shares, the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by the Company will not violate the terms of or constitute a breach or default under: (i) its charter or bylaws; (ii) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, or other material agreement to which the Company is a party or to which its properties are bound; (iii) any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company; or (iv) any writ, injunction or decree of any government, governmental instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company except, in the cases of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), for such violations or defaults that, individually or in the aggregate, would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(b) The Operating Partnership is not in violation of its certificate of limited partnership or its limited partnership agreement and the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by the Operating Partnership will not violate the terms of or constitute a breach or default under: (i) its certificate of limited partnership; (ii) its limited partnership agreement; (iii) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease or other material agreement to which the Operating Partnership is a party or to which its properties are bound; (iv) any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Operating Partnership; or (v) any writ, injunction or decree of any government, governmental instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Operating Partnership except, in the cases of clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v), for such violations or defaults that, individually or in the aggregate, would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

1.5 REIT Compliance. The Company is organized in a manner that conforms with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Company’s intended method of operation, as set forth in the Prospectus, would enable it to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code. The Company intends to make a timely election to be subject to taxation as a REIT pursuant to Sections 856 through 860 of the Code commencing with the taxable year in which the Company satisfies the Minimum Offering (defined below). The Operating Partnership will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and not as a corporation or association taxable as a corporation.

 

1.6 No Operation as an Investment Company. The Company is not and does not currently intend to conduct its business so as to be, an “investment company” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder, and it will exercise reasonable diligence to ensure that it does not become an “investment company” within the meaning of the 1940 Act.

1.7 Absence of Further Requirements. As of the date hereof, no filing with, or consent, approval, authorization, license, registration, qualification, order or decree of any court, governmental authority or agency is required for the performance by the Company or the Operating Partnership of their respective obligations under this Agreement or in connection with the issuance and sale by the Company of the Offered Shares, except such as may be required under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) or applicable state securities laws or where the failure to obtain such consent, approval, authorization, license, registration, qualification, order or decree of any court, governmental authority or agency would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

1.8 Absence of Proceedings. As of the date hereof, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or the Operating Partnership, threatened against either the Company or the Operating Partnership at law or in equity or before or by any federal or state commission, regulatory body or administrative agency or other governmental body, domestic or foreign, which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

1.9 Financial Statements. The financial statements of the Company included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, together with the related notes, present fairly the financial position of the Company, as of the date specified, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis and in conformity with Regulation S-X of the Commission. No other financial statements or schedules are required by Form S-11 or under the Securities Act Regulations to be included in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus.

 

1.10 Escrow Agent. The Company has entered into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with UMB Bank, N.A., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), and the Dealer Manager, in the form included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, which provides for the establishment of an escrow account into which subscribers’ funds will be deposited pursuant to the subscription procedures described in Section 6 below (the “Escrow Account”).

 

1.11 Independent Accountants. Frazier & Deeter, LLC, or such other independent accounting firm that has audited and is reporting upon any financial statements included or to be included in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, shall be as of the applicable Effective Date or Filing Date, and shall have been during the periods covered by their report included in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, independent public accountants with respect to the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations.

 

1.12 No Material Adverse Change in Business. Since the respective dates as of which information is provided in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, except as otherwise stated therein, there has been no material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings or business affairs of the Company or the Operating Partnership, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business.

 

1.13 Material Agreements. There are no contracts or other documents required by the Securities Act or the Securities Act Regulations to be described in or incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement which have not been accurately described in all material respects in the Prospectus or incorporated or filed as required. Each document incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or the Prospectus complied, as of the date filed, in all material respects with the requirements as to form of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act Regulations”).

The Company and the Operating Partnership maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (a) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (b) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain accountability for assets; (c) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (d) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. To the Company’s knowledge, neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership, nor any employee or agent thereof, has made any payment of funds of the Company or the Operating Partnership, as the case may be, or received or retained any funds, and no funds of the Company, or the Operating Partnership, as the case may be, have been set aside to be used for any payment, in each case in material violation of any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or the Operating Partnership.

 

1.15 Material Relationships. No relationship, direct or indirect, exists between or among the Company on the one hand, and the directors, officers, security holders of the Company, the Operating Partnership, or their respective affiliates, on the other hand, which is required to be described in the Prospectus and which is not so described.

 

1.16 Possession of Licenses and Permits. The Company possesses adequate permits, licenses, approvals, consents and other authorizations (collectively, “Governmental Licenses”) issued by the appropriate federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now operated by it, except where the failure to obtain such Governmental Licenses, singly or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect; the Company is in compliance with the terms and condition of all such Governmental Licenses, except where the failure to so comply would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; all of the Governmental Licenses are valid and in full force and effect, except where the invalidity of such Governmental Licenses to be in full force and effect would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and, as of the date hereof, the Company has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such Governmental Licenses which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

1.17 Subsidiaries. Each “significant subsidiary” of the Company (as such term is defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X) and each other entity in which the Company holds a direct or indirect ownership interest that is material to the Company (each a “Subsidiary” and, collectively, the “Subsidiaries”) has been duly organized or formed and is validly existing as a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or similar entity in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, has power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Prospectus and is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership has received any notice or is not otherwise aware of any infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any Intellectual Property or of any facts or circumstances which would render any Intellectual Property invalid or inadequate to protect the interest of the Company and/or the Operating Partnership therein, and which infringement or conflict (if the subject of any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding) or invalidity or inadequacy, singly or in the aggregate, would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

3.3 Due Diligence Expenses. In addition to reimbursement as provided under Section 3.2, the Company shall also reimburse the Dealer Manager for reasonable bona fide due diligence expenses incurred by the Dealer Manager or any Participating Dealer; provided, however, that no due diligence expenses shall be reimbursed by the Company pursuant to this Section 3.3 that would cause the aggregate of all Company expenses described in Section 3.1, all underwriting compensation paid to the Dealer Manager and any Participating Dealer and the due diligence expenses paid pursuant to this Section 3.3 to exceed 15.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Primary Shares. Such due diligence expenses may include travel, lodging, meals and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Dealer Manager or any Participating Dealer and their personnel when visiting the Company’s offices or properties to verify information relating to the Company or its properties.

The Company will pay to the Dealer Manager a dealer manager fee in the amount of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Primary Shares (the “Dealer Manager Fee”), a portion of which may be reallowed to Participating Dealers (as described more fully in the Participating Dealer Agreement entered into with such Participating Dealer), which reallowance, if any, shall be determined by the Dealer Manager in its discretion based on factors including, but not limited to, the number of shares sold by such Participating Dealer and the assistance of such Participating Dealer in marketing the Offering.

 

12
 

 

(c) Friends and Family Program; Volume Discounts. As described in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, the Dealer Manager, subject to any share ownership restrictions set forth in the Company’s charter, agrees to sell Primary Shares to certain affiliated persons and, if approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, joint venture partners, consultants and other service providers, identified by the Company at a discount to the purchase price per share to the public for the Primary Shares as of the date of purchase, reflecting reduced or waived selling commissions and Dealer Manager Fees. In addition, for certain sales of over $500,000 or more to “qualifying purchasers” (as defined in the Prospectus), the Dealer Manager agrees to sell Primary Shares at a discount to the purchase price per share to the public for the Primary Shares as of the date of purchase, reflecting reduced or waived selling commissions. The net proceeds received by the Company shall not be affected by any reduced or eliminated commissions or fees or volume discounts. The Dealer Manager agrees to work together with the Company to execute such sales according to the procedures agreed upon by the Dealer Manager and the Company.

 

5.3 Obligations to Participating Dealers. The Company will not be liable or responsible to any Participating Dealer for direct payment of commissions or any reallowance of the Dealer Manager Fee to such Participating Dealer, it being the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Dealer Manager for payment of commissions or any reallowance of the Dealer Manager Fee to Participating Dealers. Notwithstanding the above, the Company, in its sole discretion, may act as agent of the Dealer Manager by making direct payment of commissions or reallowance of the Dealer Manager Fee to such Participating Dealers without incurring any liability therefor.

 

6. Submission of Orders.

 

(a) Each person desiring to purchase Primary Shares in the Offering will be required to complete and execute a subscription agreement in the form attached as an appendix to the Prospectus (the “Subscription Agreement”) and to deliver to the Dealer Manager or Participating Dealer, as the case may be (the “Processing Broker-Dealer”), such completed Subscription Agreement, together with a check, draft, wire or money order (hereinafter referred to as an “instrument of payment”) in the initial amount of $25.00 per share, or such other per share purchase price as the Company’s Board of Directors may establish from time to time (subject to available discounts based upon the volume of shares purchased and for certain categories of purchasers, as specified in the Prospectus). There shall be a minimum initial purchase by any one purchaser of $2,500 in Primary Shares (except as otherwise indicated in the Prospectus, or in any letter or memorandum from the Company to the Dealer Manager). Minimum subsequent purchases of Primary Shares shall be $500 per transaction. Until such time as the Company has received and accepted subscriptions for at least $2,000,000 in Primary Shares (the “Minimum Offering”) and released the proceeds from such subscriptions from the Escrow Account (or such greater amount as may be applicable in respect of any greater escrow in respect of subscribers from any state), those purchasers who purchase Primary Shares will be instructed by the Processing Broker-Dealer to make their checks payable to “UMB Bank, N.A., as escrow agent for Moody National REIT II, Inc.” Thereafter, those persons who purchase Primary Shares will be instructed by the Processing Broker-Dealer to make their checks payable to “Moody National REIT II, Inc.”

 

(b) The Processing Broker-Dealer receiving a Subscription Agreement and instrument of payment not conforming to the foregoing instructions shall return such Subscription Agreement and instrument of payment directly to such subscriber not later than the end of the second business day following receipt by the Processing Broker-Dealer of such materials. Subscription Agreements and instruments of payment received by the Processing Broker-Dealer which conform to the foregoing instructions shall be transmitted for deposit pursuant to one of the following methods:

 

(i) where, pursuant to the internal supervisory procedures of the Processing Broker-Dealer, internal supervisory review is conducted at the same location at which Subscription Agreements and instruments of payment are received from subscribers, then, by noon of the next business day following receipt by the Processing Broker-Dealer, the Processing Broker-Dealer will transmit the Subscription Agreements and instruments of payment to the Escrow Agent or, after the Minimum Offering has been obtained, to the Company or to such other account or agent as directed by the Company; and

 

(ii) where, pursuant to the internal supervisory procedures of the Processing Broker-Dealer, final internal supervisory review is conducted at a different location (the “Final Review Office”), Subscription Agreements and instruments of payment will be transmitted by the Processing Broker-Dealer to the Final Review Office by noon of the next business day following receipt by the Processing Broker-Dealer. The Final Review Office will in turn by noon of the next business day following receipt by the Final Review Office, transmit such Subscription Agreements and instruments of payment to the Escrow Agent or, after the Minimum Offering has been obtained, to the Company or to such other account or agent as directed by the Company.

 

13
 

 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Offered Shares to be purchased by a custodial account, the Processing Broker-Dealer shall cause the custodian of such account to deliver a completed Subscription Agreement and instrument of payment for such account directly to the Escrow Agent or, after the Minimum Offering has been obtained, to the Company or to such other account agent as directed by the Company. The Processing Broker-Dealer shall furnish to the Escrow Agent with each delivery of instruments of payment a list of the subscribers showing the name, address, tax identification number, state of residence, amount of Offered Shares subscribed for, and the amount of money paid.

 

(d) No compensation in connection with the Offering may be paid to the Dealer Manager, Participating Dealers or their affiliates out of the proceeds of the Offering prior to the release of such proceeds from escrow. However, if any such payments are made from sources other than proceeds of the Offering, they shall be made only on the basis of bona fide transactions.

 

7. Indemnification.

 

7.1 Indemnified Parties Defined. For the purposes of this Section 7, an entity’s “Indemnified Parties” shall include such entity’s officers, directors, employees, members, partners, affiliates, agents and representatives, and each person, if any, who controls such entity within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act.

 

7.2 Indemnification of the Dealer Manager and Participating Dealers. The Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, will indemnify, defend (subject to Section 7.6) and hold harmless the Dealer Manager and the Participating Dealers, and their respective Indemnified Parties, from and against any losses, claims (including the reasonable cost of investigation), damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Participating Dealers or the Dealer Manager, or their respective Indemnified Parties, may become subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) in whole or in part, any material inaccuracy in a representation or warranty contained herein by either the Company or the Operating Partnership, any material breach of a covenant contained herein by either the Company or the Operating Partnership, or any material failure by either the Company or the Operating Partnership to perform its obligations hereunder or to comply with state or federal securities laws applicable to the Offering, or (b) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in any Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or (ii) in any Authorized Sales Materials or (iii) in any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company or on its behalf specifically for the purpose of qualifying any or all of the Offered Shares for sale under the securities laws of any jurisdiction or based upon written information furnished by the Company or the Operating Partnership under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information being hereinafter called a “Blue Sky Application”), or (c) the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company and the Operating Partnership will reimburse each Participating Dealer or the Dealer Manager, and their respective Indemnified Parties, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Participating Dealer or the Dealer Manager, and their respective Indemnified Parties, in connection with investigating or defending such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company or the Operating Partnership will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of, or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished either (x) to the Company or the Operating Partnership by the Dealer Manager or (y) to the Company, the Operating Partnership or the Dealer Manager by or on behalf of any Participating Dealer, in each case expressly for use in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof, or the Prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any Authorized Sales Material. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which either the Company or the Operating Partnership may otherwise have.

 

14
 

  

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as required by Section II.G. of the NASAA REIT Guidelines, the indemnification and agreement to hold harmless provided in this Section 7.2 is further limited to the extent that no such indemnification by the Company or the Operating Partnership of a Participating Dealer or the Dealer Manager, or their respective Indemnified Parties, shall be permitted under this Agreement for, or arising out of, an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws, unless one or more of the following conditions are met: (a) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee; (b) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; or (c) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the Commission and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which the securities were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

 

7.3 Dealer Manager Indemnification of the Company and the Operating Partnership. The Dealer Manager will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and the Operating Partnership, their respective Indemnified Parties and each person who has signed the Registration Statement, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which any of the aforesaid parties may become subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims (including the reasonable cost of investigation), damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) in whole or in part, any material inaccuracy in a representation or warranty contained herein by the Dealer Manager, any material breach of a covenant contained herein by the Dealer Manager, or any material failure by the Dealer Manager to perform its obligations hereunder or (b) any untrue statement or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in any Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or (ii) in any Authorized Sales Materials or (iii) any Blue Sky Application, or (c) the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, provided, however, that in each case described in clauses (b) and (c) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Operating Partnership by the Dealer Manager specifically for use with reference to the Dealer Manager in the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such post-effective amendments thereof or the Prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any Authorized Sales Material, or (d) any use of sales literature by the Dealer Manager not authorized or approved by the Company or any use of “broker-dealer use only” materials with members of the public concerning the Offered Shares by the Dealer Manager, or (e) any untrue statement made by the Dealer Manager or its representatives or agents or omission to state a fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in connection with the offer and sale of the Offered Shares, or (f) any material violation by the Dealer Manager of this Agreement, or (g) any failure by the Dealer Manager to comply with applicable laws governing money laundry abatement and anti-terrorist financing efforts in connection with the Offering, including applicable FINRA Rules, Exchange Act Regulations and the USA PATRIOT Act, or (h) any other failure by the Dealer Manager to comply with applicable FINRA or Exchange Act Regulations. The Dealer Manager will reimburse the aforesaid parties in connection with investigation or defense of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Dealer Manager may otherwise have.

 

7.4 Participating Dealer Indemnification of the Company and the Operating Partnership. By virtue of entering into the Participating Dealer Agreement, each Participating Dealer severally will agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Dealer Manager, each of their respective Indemnified Parties and each person who signs the Registration Statement, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Dealer Manager, or any of their respective Indemnified Parties, or any person who signed the Registration Statement, may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, as more fully described in the Participating Dealer Agreement.

 

7.5 Action Against Parties; Notification. Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 7, promptly notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel. Such participation shall not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses (subject to Section 7.6) incurred by such indemnified party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the indemnifying party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought. Any such indemnifying party shall not be liable to any such indemnified party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party.

 

15
 

 

7.6 Reimbursement of Fees and Expenses. An indemnifying party under Section 7 of this Agreement shall be obligated to reimburse an indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses as follows:

 

(a) In the case of the Company and/or the Operating Partnership indemnifying the Dealer Manager, the advancement of Company funds to the Dealer Manager for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought shall be permissible (in accordance with Section II.G. of the NASAA REIT Guidelines) only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company; (ii) the legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a stockholder of the Company or the legal action is initiated by a stockholder of the Company acting in his or her capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; and (iii) the Dealer Manager undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which the Dealer Manager is found not to be entitled to indemnification.

 

(b) In any case of indemnification other than that described in Section 7.6(a) above, the indemnifying party shall pay all legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the indemnified party in the defense of such claims or actions; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm in connection with the defense of similar claims arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions giving rise to such claims notwithstanding that such actions or claims are alleged or brought by one or more parties against more than one indemnified party. If such claims or actions are alleged or brought against more than one indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall only be obliged to reimburse the expenses and fees of the one law firm that has been participating by a majority of the indemnified parties against which such action is finally brought; and in the event a majority of such indemnified parties is unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses or fees will be reimbursable by the indemnifying party, then payment shall be made to the first law firm of record representing an indemnified party against the action or claim. Such law firm shall be paid only to the extent of services performed by such law firm and no reimbursement shall be payable to such law firm on account of legal services performed by another law firm.

 

8. Contribution.

 

(a) If the indemnification provided for in Section 7 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership, the Dealer Manager and the Participating Dealer, respectively, from the offering of the Primary Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Participating Dealer Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership, the Dealer Manager and the Participating Dealer, respectively, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

 

(b) The relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership, the Dealer Manager and the Participating Dealer, respectively, in connection with the offering of the Primary Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Participating Dealer Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Primary Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Participating Dealer Agreement (before deducting expenses), received by the Company, and the total selling commissions and Dealer Manager Fees received by the Dealer Manager and the Participating Dealer, respectively, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Primary Shares as set forth on such cover.

 

16
 

 

(c) The relative fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership, the Dealer Manager and the Participating Dealer, respectively, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact related to information supplied by the Company or the Operating Partnership, or by the Dealer Manager or by the Participating Dealer, respectively, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

 

(d) The Company, the Operating Partnership, the Dealer Manager and the Participating Dealer (by virtue of entering into the Participating Dealer Agreement) agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable contributions referred to above in this Section 8. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 8 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

 

(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, the Dealer Manager and the Participating Dealer shall not be required to contribute any amount by which the total price at which the Primary Shares sold to the public by them exceeds the amount of any damages which the Dealer Manager and the Participating Dealer have otherwise been required to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

 

(f) No party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation pursuant to Section 11(f) of the Securities Act.

 

(g) For the purposes of this Section 8, the Dealer Manager’s officers, directors, employees, members, partners, agents and representatives, and each person, if any, who controls the Dealer Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution of the Dealer Manager, and each officers, directors, employees, members, partners, agents and representatives of the Company and the Operating Partnership, respectively, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Operating Partnership, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution of the Company and the Operating Partnership, respectively. The Participating Dealers’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the number of Primary Shares sold by each Participating Dealer and not joint.

 

9. Survival of Provisions. The respective agreements, representations and warranties of the Company, the Operating Partnership, and the Dealer Manager set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect until the Termination Date regardless of: (a) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager or any Participating Dealer or any person controlling the Dealer Manager or any Participating Dealer or by or on behalf of the Company, the Operating Partnership or any person controlling the Company; and (b) the delivery of payment for the Offered Shares. Following the termination of this Agreement, this Agreement will become void and there will be no liability of any party to any other party hereto, except for obligations under Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14 and 16, all of which will survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

10. Applicable Law; Venue. This Agreement was executed and delivered in, and its validity, interpretation and construction shall be governed by the laws of, the State of Delaware; provided, however, that causes of action for violations of federal or state securities laws shall not be governed by this Section 10. Venue for any action brought hereunder shall lie exclusively in Houston, Texas.

 

11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart, when executed and delivered, shall be an original contract, but all counterparts, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

 

17
 

 

12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Exhibit attached hereto constitute the entire agreement among the parties and supersede any prior understanding, whether written or oral, prior to the date hereof with respect to the Offering.

 

13. Successors and Amendment and Third-Party Beneficiaries.

 

13.1 Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Dealer Manager and the Company and the Operating Partnership and their respective successors and permitted assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Participating Dealers to the extent set forth in Sections 1 and 5 hereof.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Subject to the terms described herein, Moody Securities, LLC, as the dealer manager (the “Dealer Manager”) for Moody National REIT II, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), invites you (“Participating Dealer”) to participate in the public sale (the “Offering”), on a “best efforts basis,” of up to $1,100,000,000 in shares of common stock of the Company, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of which amount: (i) up to $100,000,000 in shares of Common Stock are being offered pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan at an initial purchase price of $23.75 per share (the “DRIP Shares”); and (ii) up to $1,000,000,000 in shares of Common Stock are being offered to the public at an initial purchase price of $25.00 per share (subject in certain circumstances to discounts based upon the volume of shares purchased and for certain categories of purchasers) (the “Primary Shares” and together with the DRIP Shares, the “Offered Shares”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company has reserved the right to (i) change the offering price per share in the Offering, including the price for DRIP Shares as described in the Prospectus (as defined herein) and (ii) reallocate the Offered Shares between the Primary Shares and the DRIP Shares.

 

A registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-198305) has been prepared by the Company in accordance with applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act Regulations”), for the registration of the Offered Shares. This registration statement, which includes a preliminary prospectus, was filed with the Commission on August 22, 2014. The Company has prepared and filed such amendments thereto, if any, and such amended prospectus, if any, as may have been required to the date hereof, and will file such additional amendments and supplements thereto as may hereafter be required. Copies of such registration statement and each amendment thereto have been or will be delivered to Participating Dealer. The prospectus, as amended or supplemented, on file with the Commission at the Effective Date (as defined below) of the registration statement (including financial statements, exhibits and all other documents related thereto filed as a part thereof or incorporated therein), is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus,” except that if the Prospectus is amended or supplemented after the Effective Date, the term “Prospectus” shall refer to the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to date, and if the Prospectus filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) or 424(c) of the Securities Act Regulations shall differ from the Prospectus on file at the time the registration statement or any post-effective amendment to the registration statement shall become effective, the term “Prospectus” shall refer to the Prospectus filed pursuant to either Rule 424(b) or 424(c) of the Securities Act Regulations from and after the date on which it shall have been filed with the Commission. As used in this agreement, the term “Registration Statement” means the Registration Statement, as amended through the date hereof, except that, if the Company files any post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement, “Registration Statement” shall refer to the Registration Statement as so amended by the last post-effective amendment declared effective, and the term “Effective Date” means the applicable date upon which the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto is or was first declared effective by the Commission.

The Company is the sole general partner of Moody National Operating Partnership II, LP, a Delaware limited partnership that serves as the Company’s operating partnership subsidiary (the “Operating Partnership”). The Dealer Manager has entered into a Dealer Manager Agreement with the Company and the Operating Partnership dated August 15, 2014 (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”). Upon effectiveness of this Participating Dealer Agreement (this “Agreement”), you will become one of the Participating Dealers referred to in the Dealer Manager Agreement.

 

 
 

 

II. Sale of Shares. Participating Dealer hereby agrees to use its best efforts to sell the Primary Shares for cash on the terms and conditions stated in the Prospectus. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to make Participating Dealer an employee, agent, representative, or partner of the Dealer Manager, the Company or the Operating Partnership, and Participating Dealer is not authorized to act for the Dealer Manager, the Company or the Operating Partnership or to make any representations on their behalf except as set forth in the Prospectus and any printed sales literature or other materials prepared by the Company or Moody National Advisor II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that serves as the Company’s advisor pursuant to the terms of an advisory agreement (the “Advisor”), provided that the use of said sales literature and other materials has been approved for use by the Company in writing and all appropriate regulatory agencies (the “Authorized Sales Materials”).

 

III. Submission of Orders. Each person desiring to purchase Primary Shares in the Offering will be required to complete and execute a subscription agreement (“Subscription Agreement”) in the form attached as an Appendix to the Prospectus and to deliver to Participating Dealer such completed Subscription Agreement, together with a check, draft, wire or money order (hereinafter referred to as an “instrument of payment”) in the initial amount of $25.00 per share, or such other purchase price per share that the Company’s Board of Directors may establish from time to time (subject to available discounts based upon the volume of shares purchased and for certain categories of purchasers, as specified in the Prospectus). There shall be a minimum initial purchase by any one purchaser of $2,500 in shares (except as otherwise indicated in the Prospectus, or in any letter or memorandum from the Company to the Dealer Manager). Minimum subsequent purchases of shares shall be $500 per transaction. Any Subscription Agreement and instrument of payment not conforming to the foregoing instructions shall be returned to such subscriber not later than the end of the second business day following receipt by Participating Dealer of such materials. Subscription Agreements and instruments of payment received by the Participating Dealer which conform to the foregoing instructions shall be transmitted for deposit pursuant to one of the following methods:

 

(a) where, pursuant to Participating Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures, internal supervisory review is conducted at the same location at which Subscription Agreements and instruments of payment are received from subscribers, then, by noon of the next business day following receipt by Participating Dealer, Participating Dealer will transmit the Subscription Agreements and instrument of payment to the Escrow Agent (as defined below) or, after the Company has received and accepted subscriptions for at least $2,000,000 in Primary Shares (the “Minimum Offering”), to the Company or to such other account or agent as directed by the Company; and

 

(b) where, pursuant to Participating Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures, final internal supervisory review is conducted at a different location (the “Final Review Office”), then Subscription Agreements and instruments of payment will be transmitted by Participating Dealer to the Final Review Office by noon of the next business day following receipt by Participating Dealer. The Final Review Office will in turn, by noon of the next business day following receipt by the Final Review Office, transmit such Subscription Agreements and instrument of payment to the Escrow Agent or, after the Minimum Offering has been obtained, to the Company or to such other account or agent as directed by the Company.

 

(c) Participating Dealer understands that the Company and/or the Dealer Manager reserves the unconditional right to reject any order for any or no reason.

 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Primary Shares to be purchased by a custodial account, the Participating Dealer shall cause the custodian of such account to deliver a completed Subscription Agreement and instrument of payment for such account directly to the Escrow Agent or, after the Minimum Offering has been obtained, to the Company or to such other account agent as directed by the Company. The Participating Dealer shall furnish to the Escrow Agent with each delivery of instruments of payment a list of the subscribers showing the name, address, tax identification number, state of residence, amount of Primary Shares subscribed for, and the amount of money paid.

 

(e) Participating Dealer hereby agrees to be bound by the terms of the Escrow Agreement, dated January 12, 2015 (the “Escrow Agreement”), by and among UMB Bank, N.A., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), and the Company.

IV. Participating Dealer’s Compensation.

 

(a) Subject to volume discounts and other special circumstances described in or as otherwise provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, Participating Dealer’s selling commission applicable to the total public offering price of Primary Shares sold by Participating Dealer which it is authorized to sell hereunder is 7.0% of the gross proceeds from the Primary Shares sold by it and accepted and confirmed by the Company, which commission will be paid by the Dealer Manager. For these purposes, a “sale of Primary Shares” shall occur if and only if a Subscription Agreement is accepted by the Company and the Company has thereafter distributed the commission to the Dealer Manager in connection with such transaction. Participating Dealer hereby waives any and all rights to receive payment of commissions due until such time as the Dealer Manager is in receipt of the commission from the Company. Participating Dealer affirms that the Dealer Manager’s liability for commissions payable to Participating Dealer is limited solely to the commissions received by the Dealer Manager from the Company associated with Participating Dealer’s sale of Primary Shares.

 

(b) In addition, as set forth in the Prospectus, the Dealer Manager, in its sole discretion, may reallow a portion of the dealer manager fee described in the Prospectus (the “Dealer Manager Fee”) to Participating Dealer as marketing fees or to defray other distribution-related expenses. Such reallowance, if any, shall be determined by the Dealer Manager in its sole discretion based on factors including, but not limited to, the number of Primary Shares sold by Participating Dealer and the assistance of Participating Dealer in marketing the Offering; provided, however, that Participating Dealer will not be entitled to receive a portion of the Dealer Manager Fees that would cause the aggregate amount of selling commissions, Dealer Manager Fees and all other forms of underwriting compensation (as defined in accordance with applicable rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”)) received by the Dealer Manager and all Participating Dealers to exceed 10.0% of the gross proceeds raised from the sale of Primary Shares in the Offering. The Dealer Manager’s reallowance of Dealer Manager Fees to Participating Dealer shall be described in Schedule 1 to this Agreement.

 

(c) Participating Dealer acknowledges and agrees that no selling commissions or Dealer Manager Fees will be paid in respect of the sale of any DRIP Shares.

 

(d) The parties hereby agree that the foregoing selling commissions and Dealer Manager Fees are not in excess of the usual and customary distributors’ or sellers’ commission received in the sale of securities similar to the Primary Shares, that Participating Dealer’s interest in the offering is limited to such selling commissions and Dealer Manager Fees from the Dealer Manager and Participating Dealer’s indemnity referred to in Section XII below, and that the Company is not liable or responsible for the direct payment of such selling commissions and Dealer Manager Fees to Participating Dealer. In addition, as set forth in the Prospectus, the Dealer Manager will reimburse Participating Dealer for reasonable bona fide due diligence expenses incurred by Participating Dealer. Such due diligence expenses may include travel, lodging, meals and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Participating Dealer and its personnel when visiting the Company’s offices or properties to verify information relating to the Company or its properties. Participating Dealer shall provide a detailed and itemized invoice for any such due diligence expenses.

 

(e) No compensation in connection with the Offering may be paid to the Dealer Manager, Participating Dealer or its affiliates out of the proceeds of the Offering prior to the release of such proceeds from escrow. However, if any such payments are made from sources other than proceeds of the Offering, they shall be made only on the basis of bona fide transactions.

 

V. Payment.

 

(a) Payments of selling commissions will be made by the Dealer Manager (or by the Company as the agent of the Dealer Manager, as provided in the Dealer Manager Agreement) to Participating Dealer within 30 days of the receipt by the Dealer Manager of the gross commission payments from the Company.

 

(b) Participating Dealer, in its sole discretion, may authorize Dealer Manager (or the Company as the agent of the Dealer Manager, as provided in the Dealer Manager Agreement) to deposit selling commissions, Dealer Manager Fees and other payments due to it pursuant to this Agreement directly to its bank account. If Participating Dealer so elects, Participating Dealer shall provide deposit authorization and instructions to Dealer Manager in Schedule 2 to this Agreement.

VI. Right to Reject Orders or Cancel Sales. All orders, whether initial or additional, are subject to acceptance by and shall only become effective upon confirmation by the Company and/or the Dealer Manager, which reserves the right to reject any order for any or no reason. Orders not accompanied by the required instrument of payment for the Primary Shares may be rejected. Issuance and delivery of the Primary Shares will be made only after actual receipt of payment therefor. In the event an order is rejected, canceled or rescinded for any reason, Participating Dealer agrees to return to the Dealer Manager any selling commissions or Dealer Manager Fees theretofore paid with respect to such order, and, if Participating Dealer fails to so return any such selling commissions, the Dealer Manager shall have the right to offset amounts owed against future commissions or Dealer Manager Fees due and otherwise payable to Participating Dealer.

 

VII. Prospectus and Authorized Sales Materials. Participating Dealer is not authorized or permitted to give, and will not give, any information or make any representation (written or oral) concerning the Offered Shares except as set forth in the Prospectus and the Authorized Sales Materials. The Dealer Manager will supply Participating Dealer with reasonable quantities of the Prospectus (including any supplements thereto), as well as any Authorized Sales Materials, for delivery to investors, and Participating Dealer will deliver a copy of the Prospectus (including all supplements thereto) to each investor to whom an offer is made prior to or simultaneously with the first solicitation of an offer to sell the Primary Shares to an investor; provided, however, no preliminary prospectus may be delivered to investors. Participating Dealer agrees that it will not send or give any supplements to the Prospectus or any Authorized Sales Materials to any investor unless it has previously sent or given a Prospectus and all supplements thereto to that investor or has simultaneously sent or given a Prospectus and all supplements thereto with such Prospectus supplement or Authorized Sales Materials. Participating Dealer agrees that it will not show or give to any investor or reproduce any material or writing which is supplied to it by the Dealer Manager and marked “broker-dealer use only” or otherwise bearing a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the offer or sale of Offered Shares to members of the public. Participating Dealer agrees that it will not use in connection with the offer or sale of Offered Shares any materials or writings which have not been previously approved by the Company other than the Prospectus and the Authorized Sales Materials. Participating Dealer agrees to furnish a copy of any revised preliminary Prospectus to each person to whom it has furnished a copy of any previous preliminary Prospectus, and further agrees that it will itself mail or otherwise deliver all preliminary and final Prospectuses required for compliance with the provisions of Rule 15c2-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

VIII. License and Association Membership. Participating Dealer’s acceptance of this Agreement constitutes a representation to the Company and the Dealer Manager that Participating Dealer is a properly registered or licensed broker-dealer, duly authorized to sell Primary Shares under Federal and state securities laws and regulations in all states where it offers or sells Primary Shares, and that it is a member in good standing of FINRA. Participating Dealer represents and warrants that it is currently licensed as a broker-dealer in the jurisdictions identified on Schedule 3 to this Agreement and that its independent contractors and registered representatives have the appropriate licenses(s) to offer and sell the Primary Shares in such jurisdictions. This Agreement shall automatically terminate if Participating Dealer ceases to be a member in good standing of FINRA, or with the securities commission of the state in which Participating Dealer’s principal office is located. Participating Dealer agrees to notify the Dealer Manager immediately if Participating Dealer ceases to be a member in good standing of FINRA or with the securities commission of any state in which Participating Dealer is currently registered or licensed. The Participating Dealer also hereby agrees to abide by the Rules of Fair Practice of FINRA and to comply with the NASD Conduct Rules 2340 and 2420, and FINRA Conduct Rules 2310, 5130 and 5141.

 

IX. Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Programs.

 

(a) Participating Dealer’s acceptance of this Agreement constitutes a representation to the Company and the Dealer Manager that Participating Dealer has established and implemented an anti-money laundering compliance program (“AML Program”) in accordance with applicable law, including applicable FINRA Rules, rules promulgated by the Commission (the “Commission Rules”) and the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, as amended by the USA Patriot Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005 (the “USA PATRIOT Act”), specifically including, but not limited to, Section 352 of the International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001 (the “Money Laundering Abatement Act” and together with the USA PATRIOT Act, the “AML Rules”), reasonably expected to detect and cause the reporting of suspicious transactions in connection with the sale of Primary Shares. Participating Dealer’s acceptance of this Agreement also constitutes a representation to the Company and the Dealer Manager that as of the date hereof, Participating Dealer is in compliance with all AML Rules, specifically including, but not limited to, the Customer Identification Program requirements under Section 326 of the Money Laundering Abatement Act. Participating Dealer covenants that it will perform all activities it is required to perform by applicable AML Rules and its AML Program with respect to all customers on whose behalf Participating Dealer submits orders to the Company. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Participating Dealer will share information with the Dealer Manager and the Company for purposes of ascertaining whether a suspicious activity report is warranted with respect to any suspicious transaction involving the purchase or intended purchase of Primary Shares.

 

4
 

 

(b) Upon request by the Dealer Manager at any time, Participating Dealer hereby agrees to (i) furnish a written copy of its AML Program to the Dealer Manager for review, and (ii) furnish a copy of the findings and any remedial actions taken in connection with Participating Dealer’s most recent independent testing of its AML Program. Participating Dealer further represents that it is currently in compliance with all AML Rules, specifically including, but not limited to, the Customer Identification Program requirements under Section 326 of the Money Laundering Abatement Act, and Participating Dealer hereby covenants to remain in compliance with such requirements and shall, upon request by the Dealer Manager, provide a certification to Dealer Manager that, as of the date of such certification, (i) its AML Program is consistent with the AML Rules, (ii) it has continued to implement its AML Program, and (iii) it is currently in compliance with all AML Rules, specifically including, but not limited to, the Customer Identification Program requirements under Section 326 of the Money Laundering Abatement Act.

 

X. Limitation of Offer; Suitability.

 

(a) Participating Dealer will offer Primary Shares only to persons who meet the suitability standards set forth in the Prospectus and any suitability letter or memorandum sent to it by the Company or the Dealer Manager and will only make offers to persons in the jurisdictions in which it is advised in writing by the Company or the Dealer Manager that the Primary Shares are qualified for sale or that such qualification is not required (the “Qualified Jurisdictions”). Notwithstanding the qualification of the Primary Shares for sale in any respective jurisdiction (or the exemption therefrom), Participating Dealer represents, warrants and covenants that it will not offer Primary Shares and will not permit any of its registered representatives to offer Primary Shares in any jurisdiction unless both Participating Dealer and such registered representative are duly licensed to transact securities business in such jurisdiction. In offering Primary Shares, Participating Dealer will comply with the provisions of the Rules of Fair Practice set forth in the FINRA Manual, as well as all other applicable rules and regulations relating to suitability of investors, including without limitation, the provisions of Section III.C. of the Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts of the North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc. (the “NASAA REIT Guidelines”).

 

(b) Participating Dealer further represents, warrants and covenants that neither Participating Dealer, nor any person associated with Participating Dealer, shall offer or sell Primary Shares in any jurisdiction except to investors who satisfy the investor suitability standards and minimum investment requirements under all of the following: (i) applicable provisions of the Prospectus; (ii) applicable laws of the jurisdiction of which such investor is a resident; (iii) applicable FINRA Conduct Rules; and (iv) the provisions of Section III.C. of the NASAA REIT Guidelines. Participating Dealer agrees to ensure that, in recommending the purchase, sale or exchange of Primary Shares to an investor, Participating Dealer, or a person associated with Participating Dealer, shall have reasonable grounds to believe, on the basis of information obtained from the investor (and thereafter maintained in the manner and for the period required by the Commission, any state securities commission, FINRA or the Company) concerning such investor’s age, investment objectives, other investments, financial situation and needs, and any other information known to Participating Dealer, or person associated with Participating Dealer, that (i) the investor is or will be in a financial position appropriate to enable the investor to realize to a significant extent the benefits described in the Prospectus, including the tax benefits to the extent they are a significant aspect of the Offered Shares, (ii) the investor has a fair market net worth sufficient to sustain the risks inherent in an investment in Primary Shares in the amount proposed, including loss and lack of liquidity of such investment, and (iii) an investment in Primary Shares is otherwise suitable for such investor. Participating Dealer further represents, warrants and covenants that Participating Dealer, or a person associated with Participating Dealer, will make every reasonable effort to determine the suitability and appropriateness of an investment in Primary Shares of each proposed investor solicited by a person associated with Participating Dealer by reviewing documents and records disclosing the basis upon which the determination as to suitability was reached as to each such proposed investor, whether such documents and records relate to accounts which have been closed, accounts which are currently maintained, or accounts hereafter established. Participating Dealer agrees to retain such documents and records in Participating Dealer’s records for a period of six years from the date of the applicable sale of Primary Shares, to otherwise comply with the record keeping requirements provided in Section XIV below and to make such documents and records available to (i) the Dealer Manager and the Company upon request, and (ii) representatives of the Commission, FINRA and applicable state securities administrators upon Participating Dealer’s receipt of an appropriate document subpoena or other appropriate request for documents from any such agency. Participating Dealer shall not purchase any Primary Shares for a discretionary account without obtaining the prior written approval of Participating Dealer’s customer and such customer’s completed and executed Subscription Agreement.

XI. Due Diligence; Adequate Disclosure. Prior to offering the Primary Shares for sale, Participating Dealer shall have conducted an inquiry such that Participating Dealer has reasonable grounds to believe, based on information made available to Participating Dealer by the Company or the Dealer Manager through the Prospectus or other materials, that all material facts are adequately and accurately disclosed and provide a basis for evaluating a purchase of Primary Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participating Dealer may rely upon the results of an inquiry conducted by an independent third party retained for that purpose. Prior to the sale of the Primary Shares, Participating Dealer shall inform each prospective purchaser of Primary Shares of pertinent facts relating to the Primary Shares including specifically the risks related to limitations on liquidity and marketability of the Primary Shares during the term of the investment but shall not, in any event, make any representation on behalf of the Company or the Operating Partnership except as set forth in the Prospectus and any Authorized Sales Materials.

 

XII. Indemnification. For the purposes of this Section XII, an entity’s “Indemnified Parties” shall include such entity’s officers, directors, employees, members, partners, affiliates, agents and representatives, and each person, if any, who controls such entity within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act.

 

(a) Participating Dealer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Dealer Manager, each of their respective Indemnified Parties, and each person who signs the Registration Statement, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Dealer Manager, or any of their respective Indemnified Parties, or any person who signed the Registration Statement, may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims (including the reasonable cost of investigation), damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) in whole or in part, any material inaccuracy in a representation or warranty by Participating Dealer, any material breach of a covenant by Participating Dealer, or any material failure by Participating Dealer to perform its obligations hereunder, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (1) in any Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or (2) in any Authorized Sales Materials or (3) in any application to qualify the Offered Shares for the offer and sale under the applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state or jurisdiction, or (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or necessary to make statements therein not misleading, provided, however, that in each case described in clauses (ii) and (iii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company, the Operating Partnership or the Dealer Manager by Participating Dealer specifically for use with reference to Participating Dealer in the Registration Statement or any such post-effective amendments thereof or the Prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any Authorized Sales Material, or (iv) any use of sales literature by Participating Dealer not authorized or approved by the Company or use of “broker-dealer use only” materials with members of the public concerning the Offered Shares by Participating Dealer or Participating Dealer’s representatives or agents, or (v) any untrue statement made by Participating Dealer or its representatives or agents or omission to state a fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in connection with the offer and sale of the Offered Shares, or (vi) any material violation of this Agreement by Participating Dealer, or (vii) any failure of Participating Dealer to comply with applicable laws governing money laundry abatement and anti-terrorist financing efforts in connection with the Offering, including applicable FINRA Rules, Commission Rules and the USA PATRIOT Act, or (viii) any other failure by Participating Dealer to comply with applicable FINRA rules or Commission Rules or any other applicable Federal or state laws in connection with the Offering. Participating Dealer will reimburse the aforesaid parties in connection with investigation or defense of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Participating Dealer may otherwise have.

 

6
 

 

(b) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party under this Section XII of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section XII, notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof and the omission to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel. Such participation shall not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses (subject to Section XII (c) below) incurred by such indemnified party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the indemnifying party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought. Any such indemnifying party shall not be liable to any such indemnified party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party.

 

(c) An indemnifying party under this Section XII of this Agreement shall pay all legal fees and expenses of the indemnified party in the defense of such claims or actions; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm in connection with the defense of similar claims arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions giving rise to such claims notwithstanding that such actions or claims are alleged or brought by one or more parties against more than one indemnified party. If such claims or actions are alleged or brought against more than one indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall only be obliged to reimburse the expenses and fees of the one law firm that has been participating by a majority of the indemnified parties against which such action is finally brought; and in the event a majority of such indemnified parties is unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses or fees will be reimbursable by the indemnifying party, then payment shall be made to the first law firm of record representing an indemnified party against the action or claim. Such law firm shall be paid only to the extent of services performed by such law firm and no reimbursement shall be payable to such law firm on account of legal services performed by another law firm.

 

XIII. Contribution.

 

(a) If the indemnification provided for in Section XII hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership, the Dealer Manager and Participating Dealer, respectively, from the offering of the Primary Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the Dealer Manager Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership, the Dealer Manager and Participating Dealer, respectively, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

 

(b) The relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership, the Dealer Manager and Participating Dealer, respectively, in connection with the offering of the Primary Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportion as the total net proceeds from the sale of the Primary Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and the total selling commissions and Dealer Manager Fees received by the Dealer Manager and Participating Dealer, respectively, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Primary Shares as set forth on such cover.

 

(c) The relative fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership, the Dealer Manager and Participating Dealer, respectively, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact related to information supplied by the Company or the Operating Partnership, or by the Dealer Manager or by Participating Dealer, respectively, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

 

7
 

 

(d) The Company, the Operating Partnership, the Dealer Manager and Participating Dealer agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section XIII were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable contributions referred to above in this Section XIII. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section XIII shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

 

(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section XIII, the Dealer Manager and Participating Dealer shall not be required to contribute any amount by which the total amount of selling commissions and Dealer Manager Fees received by them exceeds the amount of any damages which the Dealer Manager and Participating Dealer have otherwise been required to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

 

(f) No party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation pursuant to Section 11(f) of the Securities Act.

 

(g) For the purposes of this Section XIII, the Dealer Manager’s officers, directors, employees, members, partners, agents and representatives, and each person, if any, who controls the Dealer Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution of the Dealer Manager, and each officers, directors, employees, members, partners, agents and representatives of the Company and the Operating Partnership, respectively, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Operating Partnership, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution of the Company and the Operating Partnership, respectively. Participating Dealer’s obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section XIII are several in proportion to the number of Primary Shares sold by Participating Dealer and not joint.

 

XIV.  Compliance with Record keeping Requirements. Participating Dealer agrees to comply with the record keeping requirements of the Exchange Act, including but not limited to, Rules 17a-3 and 17a-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Participating Dealer further agrees to keep such records with respect to each customer who purchases Primary Shares, his suitability and the amount of Primary Shares sold, and to retain such records for such period of time as may be required by the Commission, any state securities commission, FINRA or the Company.

 

XV.  Customer Complaints. Participating Dealer hereby agrees to provide to the Dealer Manager promptly upon receipt by Participating Dealer copies of any written or otherwise documented customer complaints received by Participating Dealer relating in any way to the Offering (including, but not limited to, the manner in which the Primary Shares are offered by Participating Dealer), the Offered Shares or the Company.

 

XVI.  Effective Date. This Agreement will become effective upon the last date it is signed by either party hereto.

 

XVII.  Termination; Amendment.

 

(a) Participating Dealer will immediately suspend or terminate its offer and sale of Primary Shares upon the request of the Company or the Dealer Manager at any time and will resume its offer and sale of Primary Shares hereunder upon subsequent request of the Company or the Dealer Manager. Any party may terminate this Agreement by written notice pursuant to Section XX below. Following the termination of this Agreement, this Agreement will become void and there will be no liability of any party to any other party hereto, except for obligations under Sections XII, XIII, XIV, XVII, XIX, XX and XXI, all of which will survive the termination of this Agreement. This Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto are the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements, if any, between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.

 

8
 

 

(b) This Agreement may be amended at any time by the Dealer Manager by written notice to Participating Dealer, and any such amendment shall be deemed accepted by Participating Dealer upon placing an order for sale of Primary Shares after it has received such notice.

 

XVIII.  Assignment. Participating Dealer shall have no right to assign this Agreement or any of Participating Dealer’s rights hereunder or to delegate any of Participating Dealer’s obligations. Any purported assignment or delegation by Participating Dealer shall be null and void. The Dealer Manager shall have the right to assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement by written notice, and Participating Dealer shall be deemed to have consented to such assignment by execution hereof. Dealer Manager shall provide written notice of any such assignment to Participating Dealer.

 

XIX.  Privacy Laws. The Dealer Manager and Participating Dealer (each referred to individually in this Section XIX as a “party”) agree as follows:

 

(a) Each party agrees to abide by and comply with (i) the privacy standards and requirements of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (“GLB Act”); (ii) the privacy standards and requirements of any other applicable Federal or state law; and (iii) its own internal privacy policies and procedures, each as may be amended from time to time;

Each party understands that each is prohibited from using or disclosing any nonpublic personal information of any customer that is identified on the List as having opted out of such disclosures.

STOCK

 

Section 5.1         Authorized Shares. The Corporation has authority to issue 1,100,000,000 Shares, consisting of 1,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Shares”), and 100,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Preferred Shares”). The aggregate par value of all authorized Shares having par value is $11,000,000. All Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable when issued. If Shares of one class are classified or reclassified into Shares of another class pursuant to this Article V, the number of authorized Shares of the former class shall be automatically decreased and the number of Shares of the latter class shall be automatically increased, in each case by the number of Shares so classified or reclassified, so that the aggregate number of Shares of all classes that the Corporation has authority to issue shall not be more than the total number of Shares set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph. The Board of Directors, with the approval of a majority of the entire Board and without any action by the Stockholders, may amend the Charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of Shares or the number of Shares of any class or series that the Corporation has authority to issue.

 

Section 5.2         Common Shares.

 

Section 5.2.1         Common Shares Subject to Terms of Preferred Shares. The Common Shares shall be subject to the express terms of any series of Preferred Shares.

 

Section 5.2.2         Description. Subject to the provisions of Article VI and except as may otherwise be specified in the Charter, each Common Share shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote per share on all matters upon which Stockholders are entitled to vote pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof. The Board may classify or reclassify any unissued Common Shares from time to time into one or more classes or series of Shares; provided, however, that following the Commencement of the Initial Public Offering, the voting rights per Share (other than any publicly held Share) sold in a Private Placement shall not exceed the voting rights which bear the same relationship to the voting rights of a publicly held Share as the consideration paid to the Corporation for each privately offered Share bears to the book value of each outstanding publicly held Share.

 

Section 5.2.3         Rights Upon Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or any Distribution of the Assets, the aggregate Assets available for Distribution to holders of the Common Shares shall be determined in accordance with applicable law. Each holder of Common Shares of a particular class shall be entitled to receive, ratably with each other holder of Common Shares of such class, that portion of such aggregate Assets available for Distribution as the number of outstanding Common Shares of such class held by such holder bears to the total number of outstanding Common Shares of such class then outstanding.

 

Section 5.2.4         Voting Rights. Except as may be provided otherwise in the Charter, and subject to the express terms of any series of Preferred Shares, the holders of the Common Shares shall have the exclusive right to vote on all matters (as to which a common stockholder shall be entitled to vote pursuant to applicable law) at all meetings of the Stockholders.

 

Section 5.3         Preferred Shares. The Board may classify any unissued Preferred Shares and reclassify any previously classified but unissued Preferred Shares of any series from time to time, into one or more classes or series of Shares.

 

12
 

  

Section 5.4         Classified or Reclassified Shares. Prior to issuance of classified or reclassified Shares of any class or series, the Board by resolution shall: (a) designate that class or series to distinguish it from all other classes and series of Shares; (b) specify the number of Shares to be included in the class or series; (c) set or change, subject to the provisions of Article VI and subject to the express terms of any class or series of Shares outstanding at the time, the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other Distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption for each class or series; and (d) cause the Corporation to file articles supplementary with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland (“SDAT”). Any of the terms of any class or series of Shares set or changed pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 5.4 may be made dependent upon facts or events ascertainable outside the Charter (including determinations by the Board or other facts or events within the control of the Corporation) and may vary among holders thereof, provided that the manner in which such facts, events or variations shall operate upon the terms of such class or series of Shares is clearly and expressly set forth in the articles supplementary or other charter document.

 

Section 5.5         Distributions. The Board of Directors may from time to time authorize the Corporation to declare and pay to Stockholders such dividends or other Distributions in cash or other assets of the Corporation or in securities of the Corporation, including in Shares of one class payable to holders of Shares of another class, or from any other source as the Board of Directors in its discretion shall determine. The Board of Directors shall endeavor to authorize the Corporation to declare and pay such dividends and other Distributions as shall be necessary for the Corporation to qualify as a REIT under the Code; provided, however, Stockholders shall have no right to any dividend or other Distribution unless and until authorized by the Board and declared by the Corporation. The exercise of the powers and rights of the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall be subject to the provisions of any class or series of Shares at the time outstanding. The receipt by any Person in whose name any Shares are registered on the records of the Corporation or by his or her duly authorized agent shall be a sufficient discharge for all dividends or other Distributions payable or deliverable in respect of such Shares and from all liability to see to the application thereof. Distributions in kind shall not be permitted, except for distributions of readily marketable securities, distributions of beneficial interests in a liquidating trust established for the dissolution of the Corporation and the liquidation of its assets in accordance with the terms of the Charter or distributions in which (a) the Board advises each Stockholder of the risks associated with direct ownership of the property, (b) the Board offers each Stockholder the election of receiving such in-kind distributions and (c) in-kind distributions are made only to those Stockholders that accept such offer.

 

Section 5.6         Charter and Bylaws. The rights of all Stockholders and the terms of all Shares are subject to the provisions of the Charter and the Bylaws.

 

Section 5.7         No Issuance of Share Certificates. Unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, the Corporation shall not issue stock certificates. A Stockholder’s investment shall be recorded on the books of the Corporation. To transfer his or her Shares, a Stockholder shall submit an executed form to the Corporation, which form shall be provided by the Corporation upon request. Such transfer will also be recorded on the books of the Corporation. Upon issuance or transfer of Shares, the Corporation will provide the Stockholder with information concerning his or her rights with regard to such Shares, as required by the Bylaws and the MGCL or other applicable law.

13
 

Section 5.8.1         Investor Suitability Standards. Subject to suitability standards established by individual states, to become a Stockholder, if such prospective Stockholder is an individual (including an individual beneficiary of a purchasing individual retirement account), or if the prospective Stockholder is a fiduciary (such as a trustee of a trust or corporate pension or profit sharing plan, or other tax-exempt organization, or a custodian under a Uniform Gifts to Minors Act), such individual or fiduciary, as the case may be, must represent to the Corporation, among other requirements as the Corporation may require from time to time:

 

(a)         that such individual (or, in the case of a fiduciary, that the fiduciary account or the donor who directly or indirectly supplies the funds to purchase the Shares) has a minimum annual gross income of $70,000 and a net worth (excluding home, furnishings and automobiles) of not less than $70,000; or

 

(b)         that such individual (or, in the case of a fiduciary, that the fiduciary account or the donor who directly or indirectly supplies the funds to purchase the Shares) has a net worth (excluding home, furnishings and automobiles) of not less than $250,000.

 

Section 5.8.2         Determination of Suitability of Sale. The Sponsor and each Person selling Common Shares on behalf of the Corporation shall make every reasonable effort to determine that the purchase of Common Shares by a Stockholder is a suitable and appropriate investment for such Stockholder. In making this determination, the Sponsor and each Person selling Common Shares on behalf of the Corporation shall ascertain that the prospective Stockholder: (a) meets the minimum income and net worth standards established for the Corporation; (b) can reasonably benefit from the Corporation based on the prospective Stockholder’s overall investment objectives and portfolio structure; (c) is able to bear the economic risk of the investment based on the prospective Stockholder’s overall financial situation; and (d) has apparent understanding of (i) the fundamental risks of the investment; (ii) the risk that the Stockholder may lose the entire investment; (iii) the lack of liquidity of the Common Shares; (iv) the restrictions on transferability of the Common Shares; and (v) the tax consequences of the investment.

 

The Sponsor and each Person selling Common Shares on behalf of the Corporation shall make this determination with respect to each prospective Stockholder on the basis of information it has obtained from such prospective Stockholder. Relevant information for this purpose will include at least the age, investment objectives, investment experiences, income, net worth, financial situation and other investments of the prospective Stockholder, as well as any other pertinent factors.

 

The Sponsor and each Person selling Common Shares on behalf of the Corporation shall maintain records of the information used to determine that an investment in Common Shares is suitable and appropriate for a Stockholder. The Sponsor and each Person selling Common Shares on behalf of the Corporation shall maintain these records for at least six years.

 

Section 5.8.3         Minimum Investment and Transfer. Subject to certain individual state requirements and except with respect to the issuance of Common Shares under the Reinvestment Plan, no initial sale of Common Shares in a Public Offering or transfer of Common Shares purchased in a Public Offering of less than $2,500, or such other amount as determined by the Board, will be permitted.

 

Section 5.9         Redemption of Shares. The Board may establish, from time to time, a program or programs by which the Corporation voluntarily redeem Shares from its Stockholders; provided, however, that such redemption does not impair the capital or operations of the Corporation. Neither the Sponsor, the Advisor, any member of the Board or any Affiliate thereof may receive any fees arising out of the redemption of Shares by the Corporation.

 

14
 

 

Section 5.10         Distribution Reinvestment Plans. The Board may establish, from time to time, a Distribution reinvestment plan or plans (each, a “Reinvestment Plan”). Under any such Reinvestment Plan, (a) all material information regarding Distributions to the Stockholders and the effect of reinvesting such Distributions, including the tax consequences thereof, shall be provided to the Stockholders not less often than annually and (b) each Stockholder participating in such Reinvestment Plan shall have a reasonable opportunity to withdraw from the Reinvestment Plan not less often than annually after receipt of the information required in clause (a) above.

 

ARTICLE VI

 

RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER AND OWNERSHIP OF SHARES

 

Section 6.1         Shares.

 

Section 6.1.1         Ownership Limitations. During the period commencing on the Initial Date and prior to the Restriction Termination Date, but subject to Section 6.3:

 

(a)         Basic Restrictions.

 

(i)         (1) No Person, other than an Excepted Holder, shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares in excess of the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit, (2) no Person, other than an Excepted Holder, shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Common Shares in excess of the Common Share Ownership Limit and (3) no Excepted Holder shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares in excess of the Excepted Holder Limit for such Excepted Holder.

 

(ii)        No Person shall Beneficially or Constructively Own Shares to the extent that such Beneficial or Constructive Ownership of Shares would result in the Corporation being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code (without regard to whether the ownership interest is held during the last half of a taxable year), or otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT (including, but not limited to, Beneficial or Constructive Ownership that would result in the Corporation owning (actually or Constructively) an interest in a tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code if the income derived by the Corporation from such tenant would cause the Corporation to fail to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code).

 

(iii)       Any Transfer of Shares that, if effective, would result in Shares being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 Persons (determined under the principles of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code) shall be void ab initio, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Shares.

 

(b)         Transfer in Trust. If any Transfer of Shares occurs which, if effective, would result in any Person Beneficially Owning or Constructively Owning Shares in violation of Section 6.1.1(a)(i) or (ii),

 

(i)         then that number of Shares the Beneficial or Constructive Ownership of which otherwise would cause such Person to violate Section 6.1.1(a)(i) or (ii) (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be automatically Transferred to a Charitable Trust for the benefit of a Charitable Beneficiary, as described in Section 6.2, effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the date of such Transfer, and such Person shall acquire no rights in such Shares; or

 

15
 

 

(ii)        if the Transfer to the Charitable Trust described in clause (i) of this sentence would not be effective for any reason to prevent the violation of Section 6.1.1(a)(i) or (ii), then the Transfer of that number of Shares that otherwise would cause any Person to violate Section 6.1.1(a)(i) or (ii) shall be void ab initio, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Shares.

 

To the extent that, upon a transfer of Shares pursuant to this Section 6.1.1(b), a violation of any provision of this Article VI would nonetheless be continuing (for example where the ownership of Shares by a single Charitable Trust would violate the 100 stockholder requirement applicable to REITs), then Shares shall be transferred to that number of Charitable Trusts, each having a distinct Charitable Trustee and a Charitable Beneficiary or Beneficiaries that are distinct from those of each other Charitable Trust, such that there is no violation of any provision of this Article VI.

 

Section 6.1.2         Remedies for Breach. If the Board of Directors or its designee (including any duly authorized committee of the Board) shall at any time determine that a Transfer or other event has taken place that results in a violation of Section 6.1.1 or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire Beneficial or Constructive Ownership of any Shares in violation of Section 6.1.1 (whether or not such violation is intended), the Board of Directors or its designee shall take such action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or other event, including, without limitation, causing the Corporation to redeem Shares, refusing to give effect to such Transfer on the books of the Corporation or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or other event; provided, however, that any Transfers or attempted Transfers or other events in violation of Section 6.1.1 shall automatically result in the Transfer to the Charitable Trust described above, and, where applicable, such Transfer (or other event) shall be void ab initio as provided above irrespective of any action (or non-action) by the Board of Directors or its designee.

 

Section 6.1.3         Notice of Restricted Transfer. Any Person who acquires or attempts or intends to acquire Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of Shares that will or may violate Section 6.1.1(a), or any Person who would have owned Shares that resulted in a Transfer to the Charitable Trust pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.1.1(b), shall immediately give written notice to the Corporation of such event, or in the case of such a proposed or attempted transaction, give at least 15 days prior written notice, and shall provide to the Corporation such other information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Transfer on the Corporation’s status as a REIT.

 

Section 6.1.4         Owners Required To Provide Information. From the Initial Date and prior to the Restriction Termination Date:

 

(a)         every owner of more than five percent (or such lower percentage as required by the Code or the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) of the outstanding Shares, within 30 days after the end of each taxable year, shall give written notice to the Corporation stating the name and address of such owner, the number of Shares Beneficially Owned and a description of the manner in which such Shares are held. Each such owner shall provide to the Corporation such additional information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Beneficial Ownership on the Corporation’s status as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit, the Common Share Ownership Limit and the other restrictions set forth herein; and

 

(b)         each Person who is a Beneficial or Constructive Owner of Shares and each Person (including the Stockholder of record) who is holding Shares for a Beneficial or Constructive Owner shall provide to the Corporation such information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the Corporation’s status as a REIT and to comply with requirements of any taxing authority or governmental authority or to determine such compliance.

 

16
 

 

Section 6.1.5         Remedies Not Limited. Subject to Section 7.10 of the Charter, nothing contained in this Section 6.1 shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors to take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable to protect the Corporation and the interests of its Stockholders in preserving the Corporation’s status as a REIT.

 

Section 6.1.6         Ambiguity. In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of this Section 6.1, Section 6.2 or any definition contained in Article IV, the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the application of the provisions of this Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 with respect to any situation based on the facts known to it. In the event Section 6.1 or 6.2 requires an action by the Board of Directors and the Charter fails to provide specific guidance with respect to such action, the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the action to be taken so long as such action is not contrary to the provisions of Article IV or Sections 6.1 or 6.2. Absent a decision to the contrary by the Board of Directors (which the Board may make in its sole and absolute discretion), if a Person would have (but for the remedies set forth in Section 6.1.2) acquired Beneficial or Constructive Ownership of Shares in violation of Section 6.1.1, such remedies (as applicable) shall apply first to the Shares which, but for such remedies, would have been Beneficially Owned or Constructively Owned (but not actually owned) by such Person, pro rata among the Persons who actually own such Shares based upon the relative number of the Shares held by each such Person.

 

Section 6.1.7         Exceptions.

 

(a)         Subject to Section 6.1.1(a)(ii), the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may exempt (prospectively or retroactively) a Person from the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit and the Common Share Ownership Limit, as the case may be, and may establish or increase an Excepted Holder Limit for such Person if:

 

(i)         the Board of Directors obtains such representations and undertakings from such Person as are reasonably necessary to ascertain that no individual’s Beneficial or Constructive Ownership of such Shares will violate Section 6.1.1(a)(ii);

 

(ii)        such Person does not and represents that it will not own, actually or Constructively, an interest in a tenant of the Corporation (or a tenant of any entity owned or controlled by the Corporation) that would cause the Corporation to own, actually or Constructively, more than a 9.9% interest (as set forth in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code) in such tenant and the Board of Directors obtains such representations and undertakings from such Person as are reasonably necessary to ascertain this fact (for this purpose, a tenant from whom the Corporation (or an entity owned or controlled by the Corporation) derives (and is expected to continue to derive) a sufficiently small amount of revenue such that, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, rent from such tenant would not adversely affect the Corporation’s ability to qualify as a REIT, shall not be treated as a tenant of the Corporation); and

 

(iii)       such Person agrees that any violation or attempted violation of such representations or undertakings (or other action which is contrary to the restrictions contained in Sections 6.1.1 through 6.1.6) will result in such Shares being automatically Transferred to a Charitable Trust in accordance with Sections 6.1.1(b) and 6.2.

 

(b)         Prior to granting any exception pursuant to Section 6.1.7(a), the Board of Directors may require a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or an opinion of counsel, in either case in form and substance satisfactory to the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to determine or ensure the Corporation’s status as a REIT. Notwithstanding the receipt of any ruling or opinion, the Board of Directors may impose such conditions or restrictions as it deems appropriate in connection with granting such exception.

 

17
 

 

(c)         Subject to Section 6.1.1(a)(ii), an underwriter which participates in a Public Offering or a Private Placement of Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) in excess of the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit, the Common Share Ownership Limit or both such limits, but only to the extent necessary to facilitate such Public Offering or Private Placement.

 

(d)         The Board of Directors may only reduce the Excepted Holder Limit for an Excepted Holder: (i) with the written consent of such Excepted Holder at any time, or (ii) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the agreements and undertakings entered into with such Excepted Holder in connection with the establishment of the Excepted Holder Limit for that Excepted Holder. No Excepted Holder Limit shall be reduced to a percentage that is less than the Common Share Ownership Limit.

 

Section 6.1.8         Increase or Decrease in Aggregate Share Ownership and Common Share Ownership Limits. Subject to Section 6.1.1(a)(ii), the Board of Directors may from time to time increase the Common Share Ownership Limit and the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit for one or more Persons and decrease the Common Share Ownership Limit and the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit for all other Persons; provided, however, that the decreased Common Share Ownership Limit and/or Aggregate Share Ownership Limit will not be effective for any Person whose percentage ownership in Shares is in excess of such decreased Common Share Ownership Limit and/or Aggregate Share Ownership Limit until such time as such Person’s percentage of Shares equals or falls below the decreased Common Share Ownership Limit and/or Aggregate Share Ownership Limit, but any further acquisition of Shares in excess of such percentage ownership of Shares will be in violation of the Common Share Ownership Limit and/or Aggregate Share Ownership Limit and, provided further, that the new Common Share Ownership Limit and/or Aggregate Share Ownership Limit would not allow five or fewer Persons to Beneficially Own more than 49.9% in value of the outstanding Shares.

 

Section 6.1.9         Legend. Any certificate representing Shares shall bear substantially the following legend:

 

The Shares represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on Beneficial and Constructive Ownership and Transfer for the purpose, among others, of the Corporation’s maintenance of its status as a REIT under the Code. Subject to certain further restrictions and except as expressly provided in the Corporation’s charter, (i) no Person may Beneficially or Constructively Own Common Shares in excess of 9.8% (in value or number of Common Shares) of the outstanding Common Shares unless such Person is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit shall be applicable); (ii) no Person may Beneficially or Constructively Own Shares in excess of 9.8% of the value of the total outstanding Shares, unless such Person is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit shall be applicable); (iii) no Person may Beneficially or Constructively Own Shares that would result in the Corporation being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise cause the Corporation to fail to qualify as a REIT; and (iv) any Transfer of Shares that, if effective, would result in Shares being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 Persons (as determined under the principles of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code) shall be void ab initio, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Shares. Any Person who Beneficially or Constructively Owns or attempts to Beneficially or Constructively Own Shares which cause or will cause a Person to Beneficially or Constructively Own Shares in excess or in violation of the above limitations must immediately notify the Corporation in writing (or, in the case of an attempted transaction, give at least 15 days’ prior written notice). If any of the restrictions on Transfer or ownership as set forth in (i), (ii) or (iii) above are violated, the Shares in excess or in violation of the above limitations will be automatically Transferred to a Charitable Trust for the benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. In addition, the Corporation may redeem Shares upon the terms and conditions specified by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion if the Board of Directors determines that ownership or a Transfer or other event may violate the restrictions described above. Furthermore, upon the occurrence of certain events, attempted Transfers in violation of the restrictions described in (i), (ii) or (iii) above may be void ab initio. All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings defined in the Corporation’s charter, as the same may be amended from time to time, a copy of which, including the restrictions on Transfer and ownership, will be furnished to each holder of Shares on request and without charge. Requests for such a copy may be directed to the Secretary of the Corporation at its principal office.

 

18
 

 

Instead of the foregoing legend, the certificate may state that the Corporation will furnish a full statement about certain restrictions on transferability to a Stockholder on request and without charge. In the case of uncertificated Shares, the Corporation will send the holder of such Shares, on request and without charge, a written statement of the information otherwise required on certificates.

 

Section 6.2         Transfer of Shares in Trust.

 

Section 6.2.1         Ownership in Trust. Upon any purported Transfer or other event described in Section 6.1.1(b) that would result in a Transfer of Shares to a Charitable Trust, such Shares shall be deemed to have been Transferred to the Charitable Trustee as trustee of a Charitable Trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. Such Transfer to the Charitable Trustee shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the purported Transfer or other event that results in the Transfer to the Charitable Trust pursuant to Section 6.1.1(b). The Charitable Trustee shall be appointed by the Corporation and shall be a Person unaffiliated with the Corporation and any Prohibited Owner. Each Charitable Beneficiary shall be designated by the Corporation as provided in Section 6.2.6.

 

Section 6.2.2         Status of Shares Held by the Charitable Trustee. Shares held by the Charitable Trustee shall continue to be issued and outstanding Shares. The Prohibited Owner shall have no rights in the Shares held by the Charitable Trustee. The Prohibited Owner shall not benefit economically from ownership of any Shares held in trust by the Charitable Trustee, shall have no rights to dividends or other Distributions and shall not possess any rights to vote or other rights attributable to the Shares held in the Charitable Trust.

 

19
 

 

Section 6.2.3         Dividend and Voting Rights. The Charitable Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends or other Distributions with respect to Shares held in the Charitable Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the exclusive benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Any dividend or other Distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Corporation that Shares have been Transferred to the Charitable Trustee shall be paid by the recipient of such dividend or other Distribution to the Charitable Trustee upon demand and any dividend or other Distribution authorized but unpaid shall be paid when due to the Charitable Trustee. Any dividends or other Distributions so paid over to the Charitable Trustee shall be held in trust for the Charitable Beneficiary. The Prohibited Owner shall have no voting rights with respect to Shares held in the Charitable Trust and, subject to Maryland law, effective as of the date that Shares have been Transferred to the Charitable Trustee, the Charitable Trustee shall have the authority (at the Charitable Trustee’s sole discretion) (a) to rescind as void any vote cast by a Prohibited Owner prior to the discovery by the Corporation that Shares have been Transferred to the Charitable Trustee and (b) to recast such vote in accordance with the desires of the Charitable Trustee acting for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary; provided, however, that if the Corporation has already taken irreversible corporate action, then the Charitable Trustee shall not have the authority to rescind and recast such vote. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article VI, until the Corporation has received notification that Shares have been Transferred into a Charitable Trust, the Corporation shall be entitled to rely on its share transfer and other Stockholder records for purposes of preparing lists of Stockholders entitled to vote at meetings, determining the validity and authority of proxies and otherwise conducting votes of Stockholders.

 

Section 6.2.4         Sale of Shares by Charitable Trustee. Within 20 days of receiving notice from the Corporation that Shares have been Transferred to the Charitable Trust, the Charitable Trustee shall sell the Shares held in the Charitable Trust to a Person, designated by the Charitable Trustee, whose ownership of the Shares will not violate the ownership limitations set forth in Section 6.1.1(a). Upon such sale, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary in the Shares sold shall terminate and the Charitable Trustee shall distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the Prohibited Owner and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this Section 6.2.4. The Prohibited Owner shall receive the lesser of (a) the price paid by the Prohibited Owner for the Shares or, if the Prohibited Owner did not give value for the Shares in connection with the event causing the Shares to be held in the Charitable Trust (e.g., in the case of a gift, devise or other such transaction), the Market Price of the Shares on the day of the event causing the Shares to be held in the Charitable Trust and (b) the price per share received by the Charitable Trustee (net of any commissions and other expenses of sale) from the sale or other disposition of the Shares held in the Charitable Trust. The Charitable Trustee may reduce the amount payable to the Prohibited Owner by the amount of dividends and other Distributions which have been paid to the Prohibited Owner and are owed by the Prohibited Owner to the Charitable Trustee pursuant to Section 6.2.3 of this Article VI. Any net sales proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Owner shall be immediately paid to the Charitable Beneficiary. If, prior to the discovery by the Corporation that Shares have been Transferred to the Charitable Trustee, such Shares are sold by a Prohibited Owner, then (i) such Shares shall be deemed to have been sold on behalf of the Charitable Trust and (ii) to the extent that the Prohibited Owner received an amount for such Shares that exceeds the amount that such Prohibited Owner was entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 6.2.4, such excess shall be paid to the Charitable Trustee upon demand.

 

Section 6.2.5         Purchase Right in Shares Transferred to the Charitable Trustee. Shares Transferred to the Charitable Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per Share equal to the lesser of (a) the price per Share in the transaction that resulted in such Transfer to the Charitable Trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift) and (b) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Corporation shall have the right to accept such offer until the Charitable Trustee has sold the Shares held in the Charitable Trust pursuant to Section 6.2.4. Upon such a sale to the Corporation, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary in the Shares sold shall terminate and the Charitable Trustee shall distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the Prohibited Owner. The Corporation may reduce the amount payable to the Prohibited Owner by the amount of dividends and other Distributions which have been paid to the Prohibited Owner and are owed by the Prohibited Owner to the Charitable Trustee pursuant to Section 6.2.3 of this Article VI. The Corporation may pay the amount of such reduction to the Charitable Trustee for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary.

 

20
 

 

Section 6.2.6         Designation of Charitable Beneficiaries. By written notice to the Charitable Trustee, the Corporation shall designate one or more nonprofit organizations to be the Charitable Beneficiary of the interest in the Charitable Trust such that (a) Shares held in the Charitable Trust would not violate the restrictions set forth in Section 6.1.1(a) in the hands of such Charitable Beneficiary and (b) each such organization must be described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code and contributions to each such organization must be eligible for deduction under each of Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 2055 and 2522 of the Code.

 

Section 6.3         NYSE Transactions. Nothing in this Article VI shall preclude the settlement of any transaction entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or any other national securities exchange or automated inter-dealer quotation system. The fact that the settlement of any transaction occurs shall not negate the effect of any other provision of this Article VI and any transferee in such a transaction shall be subject to all of the provisions and limitations set forth in this Article VI.

 

Section 6.4         Enforcement. The Corporation is authorized specifically to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief, to enforce the provisions of this Article VI.

 

Section 6.5         Non-Waiver. No delay or failure on the part of the Corporation or the Board of Directors in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any right of the Corporation or the Board of Directors, as the case may be, except to the extent specifically waived in writing.

The Corporation elects, at such time as it becomes eligible to make the election provided for under Section 3-804(c) of the MGCL, that, except as may be provided by the Board of Directors in setting the terms of any class or series of Preferred Shares, any and all vacancies on the Board of Directors may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors in office, even if the remaining Directors do not constitute a quorum, and any Director elected to fill a vacancy shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which such vacancy occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Independent Directors shall nominate replacements for vacancies among the Independent Directors’ positions.

Section 7.7         Authorization by Board of Stock Issuance. The Board of Directors may authorize the issuance from time to time of Shares of any class or series, whether now or hereafter authorized, or securities or rights convertible into Shares of any class or series, whether now or hereafter authorized, for such consideration as the Board of Directors may deem advisable (including as compensation for the Independent Directors or without consideration in the case of a stock split or stock dividend), subject to such restrictions or limitations, if any, as may be set forth in the Charter or the Bylaws. The issuance of Preferred Shares shall also be approved by a majority of Independent Directors not otherwise interested in the transaction, who shall have access at the Corporation’s expense to the Corporation’s legal counsel or to independent legal counsel.

 

Section 7.8         Preemptive Rights and Appraisal Rights. Except as may be provided by the Board of Directors in setting the terms of classified or reclassified Shares pursuant to Section 5.4 or as may otherwise be provided by contract approved by the Board of Directors, no holder of Shares shall, as such holder, have any preemptive right to purchase or subscribe for any additional Shares or any other Security which the Corporation may issue or sell. Holders of Shares shall not be entitled to exercise any rights of an objecting stockholder provided for under Title 3, Subtitle 2 of the MGCL or any successor statute unless the Board of Directors, upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors, shall determine that such rights apply, with respect to all or any classes or series of Shares, to one or more transactions occurring after the date of such determination in connection with which holders of such Shares would otherwise be entitled to exercise such rights.

 

22
 

 

Section 7.9         Determinations by Board.

Section 7.10         REIT Qualification. If the Corporation elects to qualify for federal income tax treatment as a REIT, the Board of Directors shall use its reasonable best efforts to take such actions as are necessary or appropriate to preserve the status of the Corporation as a REIT; however, if the Board of Directors determines that it is no longer in the best interests of the Corporation to continue to be qualified as a REIT, the Board of Directors may revoke or otherwise terminate the Corporation’s REIT election pursuant to Section 856(g) of the Code. The Board of Directors also may determine that compliance with any restriction or limitation on stock ownership and Transfers set forth in Article VI is no longer required for REIT qualification.

ARTICLE VIII

ADVISOR

 

Section 8.1         Appointment and Initial Investment of Advisor. The Board is responsible for setting the general policies of the Corporation and for the general supervision of its business conducted by officers, agents, employees, advisors or independent contractors of the Corporation. However, the Board is not required personally to conduct the business of the Corporation, and it may (but need not) appoint, employ or contract with any Person (including a Person Affiliated with any Director) as an Advisor and may grant or delegate such authority to the Advisor as the Board may, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or desirable. The term of retention of any Advisor shall not exceed one year, although there is no limit to the number of times that a particular Advisor may be retained. The Sponsor or its Affiliates have made an Initial Investment of $200,000 in the Corporation. The Sponsor or any such Affiliate may not sell the Initial Investment while the Sponsor or its Affiliate remains a Sponsor but may transfer the Initial Investment to other Affiliates.

 

Section 8.2         Supervision of Advisor. The Board shall review and evaluate the qualifications of the Advisor before entering into, and shall evaluate the performance of the Advisor before renewing, an Advisory Agreement, and the criteria used in such evaluation shall be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board. The Board may exercise broad discretion in allowing the Advisor to administer and regulate the operations of the Corporation, to act as agent for the Corporation, to execute documents on behalf of the Corporation and to make executive decisions that conform to general policies and principles established by the Board. The Board shall monitor the Advisor to assure that the administrative procedures, operations and programs of the Corporation are in the best interests of the Stockholders and are fulfilled. The Independent Directors are responsible for reviewing the fees and expenses of the Corporation at least annually or with sufficient frequency to determine that the expenses incurred are reasonable in light of the investment performance of the Corporation, its Net Assets, its Net Income and the fees and expenses of other comparable unaffiliated REITs. Each such determination shall be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board. The Independent Directors also will be responsible for reviewing, from time to time and at least annually, the performance of the Advisor and determining that compensation to be paid to the Advisor is reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services performed and that such compensation is within the limits prescribed by the Charter. The Independent Directors shall also supervise the performance of the Advisor and the compensation paid to the Advisor by the Corporation in order to determine that the provisions of the Advisory Agreement are being carried out. Specifically, the Independent Directors will consider factors such as (a) the amount of the fee paid to the Advisor in relation to the size, composition and performance of the Assets, (b) the success of the Advisor in generating opportunities that meet the investment objectives of the Corporation, (c) rates charged to other REITs and to investors other than REITs by advisors performing the same or similar services, (d) additional revenues realized by the Advisor and its Affiliates through their relationship with the Corporation, including loan administration, underwriting or broker commissions, servicing, engineering, inspection and other fees, whether paid by the Corporation or by others with whom the Corporation does business, (e) the quality and extent of service and advice furnished by the Advisor, (f) the performance of the Assets, including income, conservation or appreciation of capital, frequency of problem investments and competence in dealing with distress situations and (g) the quality of the Assets relative to the investments generated by the Advisor for its own account. The Independent Directors may also consider all other factors that they deem relevant, and the findings of the Independent Directors on each of the factors considered shall be recorded in the minutes of the Board. The Board shall determine whether any successor Advisor possesses sufficient qualifications to perform the advisory function for the Corporation and whether the compensation provided for in its contract with the Corporation is justified.

 

24
 

 

Section 8.3         Fiduciary Obligations. The Advisor shall have a fiduciary responsibility and duty to the Corporation and to the Stockholders.

 

Section 8.4         Affiliation and Functions. The Board, by resolution or in the Bylaws, may provide guidelines, provisions or requirements concerning the affiliation and functions of the Advisor.

 

Section 8.5         Termination. A majority of the Independent Directors may terminate the Advisory Agreement on 60 days’ written notice without cause or penalty, and, in such event, the Advisor will cooperate with the Corporation and the Operating Partnership in making an orderly transition of the advisory function.

 

Section 8.6         Disposition Fee on Sale of Property. The Corporation may pay the Advisor a disposition fee upon Sale of one or more Properties, equal to the lesser of (a)(i) where a brokerage commission is also payable to a third party, one-half of the aggregate brokerage commission paid, including brokerage commissions payable to third parties, or (ii) where no brokerage commission is payable to any third party, the Competitive Real Estate Commission or (b) three percent of the Contract Purchase Price. With respect to a Property held in a Joint Venture, the disposition fee payable to the Advisor will be equal to the percentage of the Contract Purchase Price reflecting the Corporation’s economic interest in the Joint Venture. Payment of such fee may be made only if the Advisor provides a substantial amount of services in connection with the Sale of a Property or Properties. The amount of the disposition fee paid to the Advisor when added to all other real estate commissions paid to unaffiliated parties in connection with such Sale shall not exceed the lesser of the Competitive Real Estate Commission or an amount equal to six percent of the sales price of such Property or Properties.

 

Section 8.7         Incentive Fees. The Corporation may pay the Advisor an interest in the gain from the Sale of Assets, for which full consideration is not paid in cash or property of equivalent value, provided the amount or percentage of such interest is reasonable. Such an interest in gain from the Sale of Assets shall be considered presumptively reasonable if it does not exceed 15% of the balance of such net proceeds remaining after payment to holders of Common Shares, in the aggregate, of an amount equal to 100% of the Invested Capital, plus an amount equal to six percent of the Invested Capital per annum cumulative. For clarification purposes, the Corporation will adjust the conversion ratio utilized in connection with incentive fees paid by the Corporation, including any incentive fees payable to the Advisor, any holders of special limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, Moody National Hospitality Management, LLC and any other affiliates of the Sponsor, to the extent necessary to comply with the limitations set forth under this Section 8.7. In the case of multiple Advisors, such Advisor and any of their Affiliates shall be allowed such fees provided such fees are distributed by a proportional method reasonably designed to reflect the value added to the Assets by each respective Advisor or any Affiliate.

 

Section 8.8         Organization and Offering Expenses Limitation. The Corporation shall reimburse the Advisor and its Affiliates for Organization and Offering Expenses incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates in connection with any Offering; provided, however, that (i) the total amount of all Organization and Offering Expenses reimbursed by the Corporation shall be reasonable and (ii) the total Organization and Offering Expenses reimbursed by the Corporation in connection with any Public Offering shall in no event exceed 15% of the Gross Proceeds of such Public Offering.

 

Section 8.9         Acquisition Fees. The Corporation may pay the Advisor and its Affiliates fees for the review and evaluation of potential investments in Assets; provided, however, that the total of all Acquisition Fees, Acquisition Expenses and Financing Coordination Fees shall be reasonable, and shall not exceed an amount equal to 6.0% of the Contract Purchase Price or, in the case of a Mortgage, 6.0% of the funds advanced; and provided, further, that a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction may approve fees and expenses in excess of this limit if they determine the transaction to be commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to the Corporation.

 

25
 

 

Section 8.10         Reimbursement for Total Operating Expenses. The Corporation may reimburse the Advisor, at the end of each fiscal quarter, for Total Operating Expenses incurred by the Advisor; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not reimburse the Advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter commencing on the fourth fiscal quarter after the quarter in which the Corporation makes its first investment in an Asset, for Total Operating Expenses that, in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended, exceed the greater of two percent of Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”) for such 12-month period. The Independent Directors shall have the fiduciary responsibility of limiting Total Operating Expenses to amounts that do not exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines unless they have made a finding that, based on such unusual and non-recurring factors that they deem sufficient, a higher level of expenses (an “Excess Amount”) is justified. Within 60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Corporation for which there is an Excess Amount which the Independent Directors conclude was justified and reimbursable to the Advisor, there shall be sent to the holders of Common Shares a written disclosure of such fact, together with an explanation of the factors the Independent Directors considered in determining that such Excess Amount was justified. Any such finding and the reasons in support thereof shall be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board. In the event that the Independent Directors do not determine that excess expenses are justified, the Advisor shall reimburse the Corporation at the end of the 12-month period during which the excess expenses were incurred for the amount by which the expenses exceeded the 2%/25% Guidelines.

 

Section 8.11         Reimbursement Limitation. The Corporation shall not reimburse the Advisor or its Affiliates for services for which the Advisor or its Affiliates are entitled to compensation in the form of a separate fee.

 

ARTICLE IX

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS

 

Section 9.1         Review of Investment Policies. The Independent Directors shall review the investment policies of the Corporation with sufficient frequency (and, upon Commencement of the Initial Public Offering, not less often than annually) to determine that the policies being followed by the Corporation are in the best interests of its Stockholders. Each such determination and the basis therefor shall be set forth in the minutes of the meetings of the Board.

 

Section 9.2         Certain Permitted Investments. The following provisions shall apply:

 

(a)         The Corporation may invest in Assets.

 

(b)         The Corporation may invest in Joint Ventures with the Sponsor, the Advisor, one or more Directors or any Affiliate, only if a majority of Directors (including a majority of Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction approve such investment as being fair and reasonable to the Corporation and on substantially the same terms and conditions as those received by the other joint venturers.

 

(c)         Subject to any limitations in Section 9.3, the Corporation may invest in equity securities only if a majority of Directors (including a majority of Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction approve such investment as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable; provided that investments in equity securities in Publicly Traded Entities that are otherwise approved by a majority of Directors (including a majority of Independent Directors) shall be deemed fair, competitive and commercially reasonable if the Corporation acquires such equity securities through a trade that is effected in a recognized securities market; and provided further that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to (i) acquisitions effected through the purchase of all of the equity securities of an existing entity, (ii) the investment in wholly owned subsidiaries of the Corporation or (iii) investments in securities that are collateralized by a pool of assets, including loans and receivables, that provide for a specific cash flow stream to the holder.

 

26
 

 

Section 9.3         Investment Limitations. In addition to other investment restrictions imposed by the Board from time to time, consistent with the Corporation’s objective of qualifying as a REIT, the following shall apply to the Corporation’s investments:

 

(a)         Not more than ten percent of the Corporation’s total assets shall be invested in Unimproved Real Property or mortgage loans on Unimproved Real Property.

 

(b)         The Corporation shall not invest in commodities or commodity future contracts. This limitation is not intended to apply to futures contracts, when used solely for hedging purposes in connection with the Corporation’s ordinary business of investing in real estate assets and Mortgages.

 

(c)         The Corporation shall not invest in or make any Mortgage loans unless an appraisal is obtained concerning the underlying property except for those Mortgage loans insured or guaranteed by a government or government agency. In cases in which a majority of Independent Directors so determine, and in all cases in which the transaction is with the Advisor, Sponsor, Directors, or any Affiliates thereof, such appraisal of the underlying property must be obtained from a qualified Independent Appraiser selected by the Independent Directors. Such appraisal shall be maintained in the Corporation’s records for at least five years and shall be available for inspection and duplication by any Stockholder for a reasonable charge. In addition to the appraisal, a mortgagee’s or owner’s title insurance policy or commitment as to the priority of the mortgage or condition of the title must be obtained.

 

(d)         The Corporation shall not make or invest in any Mortgage loan, including a construction loan, on any one property if the aggregate amount of all mortgage loans outstanding on the property, including the loans of the Corporation, would exceed an amount equal to 85% of the appraised value of the property as determined by appraisal unless substantial justification exists because of the presence of other underwriting criteria. For purposes of this subsection, the “aggregate amount of all mortgage loans outstanding on the property, including the loans of the Corporation” shall include all interest (excluding contingent participation in income and/or appreciation in value of the mortgaged property), the current payment of which may be deferred pursuant to the terms of such loans, to the extent that deferred interest on each loan exceeds five percent per annum of the principal balance of the loan.

 

(e)         The Corporation shall not invest in indebtedness secured by a mortgage on real property which is subordinate to the lien or other indebtedness of the Advisor, any Director, the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Corporation.

 

(f)         The Corporation shall not issue (A) equity Securities redeemable solely at the option of the holder (except that Stockholders may offer their Common Shares to the Corporation pursuant to any repurchase plan adopted by the Board on terms outlined in the Prospectus relating to any Offering, as such plan is thereafter amended in accordance with its terms); (B) debt Securities unless the historical debt service coverage (in the most recently completed fiscal year) as adjusted for known changes is sufficient to properly service that higher level of debt; (C) equity Securities on a deferred payment basis or under similar arrangements; or (D) options or warrants to the Advisor, Directors, Sponsor or any Affiliates thereof except on the same terms as such options or warrants are sold to the general public. Options or warrants may be issued to Persons other than the Advisor, Directors, Sponsor or any Affiliates thereof, but not at exercise prices less than the fair market value of the underlying Securities on the date of grant and not for consideration (which may include services) that in the judgment of the Independent Directors has a market value less than the value of such option or warrant on the date of grant. Options or warrants issuable to the Advisor, Directors, Sponsor or any Affiliate thereof shall not exceed ten percent of the outstanding Shares on the date of grant. The voting rights per Share (other than any publicly held Share) sold in a Private Placement offering shall not exceed the voting rights which bear the same relationship to the voting rights of a publicly held Share as the consideration paid to the Corporation for each privately offered Share bears to the book value of each outstanding publicly held Share.

 

27
 

 

(g)         A majority of the Directors or of the members of a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors shall authorize the consideration to be paid for each Asset, ordinarily based on the fair market value of the Asset. If a majority of the Independent Directors on the Board of Directors or such duly authorized committee determine, or if the Asset is acquired from the Advisor, a Director, the Sponsor or their Affiliates, such fair market value shall be determined by a qualified Independent Appraiser selected by such Independent Directors.

 

(h)         The aggregate Leverage shall be reasonable in relation to the Net Assets and shall be reviewed by the Board at least quarterly. The maximum amount of such Leverage in relation to Net Assets shall not exceed 300%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Leverage may exceed such limit if any excess in borrowing over such level is approved by a majority of the Independent Directors. Any such excess borrowing shall be disclosed to Stockholders in the next quarterly report of the Corporation following such borrowing, along with justification for such excess.

 

(i)         The Corporation will continually review its investment activity to attempt to ensure that it is not classified as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

(j)         The Corporation will not make any investment that the Corporation believes will be inconsistent with its objectives of qualifying and remaining qualified as a REIT unless and until the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that REIT qualification is not in the best interests of the Corporation.

 

(k)         The Corporation shall not invest in real estate contracts of sale unless such contracts of sale are in recordable form and appropriately recorded in the chain of title.

 

(l)         The Corporation shall not engage in underwriting or the agency distribution of securities issued by others.

 

ARTICLE X

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

 

Section 10.1         Sales and Leases to the Corporation. The Corporation may purchase or lease an Asset or Assets from the Sponsor, the Advisor, a Director or any Affiliate thereof upon a finding by a majority of Directors (including a majority of Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction that such transaction is fair and reasonable to the Corporation and at a price to the Corporation no greater than the cost of the Asset to such Sponsor, Advisor, Director or Affiliate or, if the price to the Corporation is in excess of such cost, that substantial justification for such excess exists and such excess is reasonable. In no event shall the purchase price paid by the Corporation for any such Asset exceed the Asset’s current appraised value.

 

28
 

 

Section 10.2          Sales and Leases to the Sponsor, Advisor, Directors or Affiliates. The Advisor, the Sponsor, a Director or any Affiliate thereof may purchase or lease Assets from the Corporation if a majority of Directors (including a majority of Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction determine that the transaction is fair and reasonable to the Corporation.

 

Section 10.3         Other Transactions.

 

(a)         The Corporation shall not make loans to the Sponsor, the Advisor, a Director or any Affiliate thereof except Mortgages pursuant to Section 9.3(c) hereof or loans to wholly owned subsidiaries of the Corporation. The Corporation may not borrow money from the Sponsor, the Advisor, a Director or any Affiliate thereof, unless approved by a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in such transaction as fair, competitive, and commercially reasonable, and no less favorable to the Corporation than comparable loans between unaffiliated parties under the same circumstances.

 

(b)         The Corporation shall not engage in any other transaction with the Sponsor, the Advisor, a Director or any Affiliate thereof unless a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in such transaction approve such transaction as fair and reasonable to the Corporation and on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Corporation than those available from unaffiliated third parties.

 

Section 10.4         Conflict Resolution. The Independent Directors, acting as a group, will resolve potential conflicts of interest whenever they determine that the exercise of independent judgment by the Board or the Advisor or its Affiliates could reasonably be compromised. However, the Independent Directors may not take any action which, under Maryland law, must be taken by the entire Board or which is otherwise not within their authority. The Independent Directors, as a group, are authorized to retain their own legal and financial advisors.

Section 11.1         Meetings. The Directors, including the Independent Directors, shall take reasonable steps to insure that there shall be an annual meeting of the Stockholders, to be held on such date and at such time and place as shall be determined by or in the manner prescribed in the Bylaws, at which the Directors shall be elected and any other proper business may be conducted; provided that such annual meeting will be held upon reasonable notice and within a reasonable period (not less than 30 days) following delivery of the annual report. The holders of a majority of Shares entitled to vote who are present in person or by proxy at an annual meeting at which a quorum is present, may, without the necessity for concurrence by the Board, vote to elect the Directors. A quorum shall be the presence in person or by proxy of Stockholders entitled to cast at least 50% of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting on any matter. Special meetings of Stockholders may be called in the manner provided in the Bylaws, including by the chief executive officer, the president or the chairman of the board or by a majority of the Directors or a majority of the Independent Directors, and shall be called by the secretary of the Corporation to act on any matter that may properly be considered at a meeting of Stockholders upon the written request of Stockholders entitled to cast not less than ten percent of all the votes entitled to be cast on such matter at such meeting. Notice of any special meeting of Stockholders shall be given as provided in the Bylaws. If the meeting is called by the secretary upon the written request of Stockholders as described in this Section 11.1, notice of the special meeting shall be sent to all Stockholders within ten days of the receipt of the written request and the special meeting shall be held at the time and place specified in the Stockholder request not less than 15 days nor more than 60 days after the delivery of the notice; provided, however, that if no time or place is so specified in the Stockholder request, at such time and place convenient to the Stockholders. If there are no Directors, the officers of the Corporation shall promptly call a special meeting of the Stockholders entitled to vote for the election of successor Directors. Any meeting may be adjourned and reconvened as the Board may determine or as otherwise provided in the Bylaws.

Section 11.2         Voting Rights of Stockholders. Subject to the provisions of any class or series of Shares then outstanding and the mandatory provisions of any applicable laws or regulations, the Stockholders shall be entitled to vote only on the following matters: (a) election or removal of Directors, without the necessity for concurrence by the Board, as provided in Sections 7.4, 7.11 and 11.1 hereof; (b) amendment of the Charter as provided in Article XIII hereof; (c) dissolution of the Corporation; (d) merger or consolidation of the Corporation, or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets; and (e) such other matters with respect to which the Board of Directors has adopted a resolution declaring that a proposed action is advisable and directing that the matter be submitted to the Stockholders for approval or ratification. Except with respect to the foregoing matters, no action taken by the Stockholders at any meeting shall in any way bind the Board. Without the approval of a majority of the Shares entitled to vote on the matter, the Board may not (i) amend the Charter to materially and adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Stockholders; (ii) amend provisions of the Charter relating to Director qualifications, fiduciary duties, liability and indemnification, conflicts of interest, investment policies or investment restrictions; (iii) liquidate or dissolve the Corporation other than before the initial investment in Property; (iv) sell all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets other than in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted by law; or (v) cause the merger or similar reorganization of the Corporation except as permitted by law.

 

Section 11.3         Voting Limitations on Shares Held by the Advisor, Directors and Affiliates. With respect to Shares owned by the Advisor, any Director or any of their Affiliates, neither the Advisor, nor such Director, nor any of their Affiliates may vote or consent on matters submitted to the Stockholders regarding the removal of the Advisor, such Director or any of their Affiliates or any transaction between the Corporation and any of them. In determining the requisite percentage in interest of Shares necessary to approve a matter on which the Advisor, such Director and any of their Affiliates may not vote or consent, any Shares owned by any of them shall not be included.

 

Section 11.4         Right of Inspection. Any Stockholder and any designated representative thereof shall be permitted access to the corporate records of the Corporation at all reasonable times, and may inspect and copy any of them for a reasonable charge. Inspection of the Corporation’s books and records by the office or agency administering the securities laws of a jurisdiction shall be provided upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours.

 

Section 11.5         Access to Stockholder List. An alphabetical list of the names, addresses and telephone numbers of the Stockholders, along with the number of Shares held by each of them (the “Stockholder List”), shall be maintained as part of the books and records of the Corporation and shall be available for inspection by any Stockholder or the Stockholder’s designated agent at the home office of the Corporation upon the request of the Stockholder. The Stockholder List shall be updated at least quarterly to reflect changes in the information contained therein. A copy of the Stockholder List shall be mailed to any Stockholder so requesting within ten days of receipt by the Corporation of the request. The copy of the Stockholder List shall be printed in alphabetical order, on white paper, and in a readily readable type size (in no event smaller than ten-point type). The Corporation may impose a reasonable charge for expenses incurred in reproduction pursuant to the Stockholder request. A Stockholder may request a copy of the Stockholder List in connection with matters relating to Stockholders’ voting rights and the exercise of Stockholder rights under federal proxy laws.

 

30
 

If the Advisor or the Board neglects or refuses to exhibit, produce or mail a copy of the Stockholder List as requested, the Advisor and/or the Board, as the case may be, shall be liable to any Stockholder requesting the Stockholder List for the costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by that Stockholder for compelling the production of the Stockholder List, and for actual damages suffered by any Stockholder by reason of such refusal or neglect. It shall be a defense that the actual purpose and reason for the requests for inspection or for a copy of the Stockholder List is to secure the Stockholder List or other information for the purpose of selling the Stockholder List or copies thereof, or of using the same for a commercial purpose other than in the interest of the applicant as a Stockholder relative to the affairs of the Corporation. The Corporation may require the Stockholder requesting the Stockholder List to represent that the Stockholder List is not requested for a commercial purpose unrelated to the Stockholder’s interest in the Corporation. The remedies provided hereunder to Stockholders requesting copies of the Stockholder List are in addition to, and shall not in any way limit, other remedies available to Stockholders under federal law or the laws of any state.

 

Section 11.6         Reports. For each fiscal year after the Commencement of the Initial Public Offering, the Directors, including the Independent Directors, shall take reasonable steps to insure that the Corporation shall cause to be prepared and mailed or delivered to each Stockholder as of a record date after the end of the fiscal year, within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year to which it relates, an annual report that shall include: (a) financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which are audited and reported on by independent certified public accountants; (b) the ratio of the costs of raising capital during the period to the capital raised; (c) the aggregate amount of advisory fees and the aggregate amount of other fees paid to the Advisor and any Affiliate of the Advisor by the Corporation and including fees or charges paid to the Advisor and any Affiliate of the Advisor by third parties doing business with the Corporation; (d) the Total Operating Expenses of the Corporation, stated as a percentage of Average Invested Assets and as a percentage of its Net Income; (e) a report from the Independent Directors that the policies being followed by the Corporation are in the best interests of its Stockholders and the basis for such determination; and (f) separately stated, full disclosure of all material terms, factors and circumstances surrounding any and all transactions involving the Corporation, the Directors, the Advisors, the Sponsors and any Affiliate thereof occurring in the year for which the annual report is made, and the Independent Directors shall be specifically charged with a duty to examine and comment in the report on the fairness of such transactions.

 

Section 11.7         Tender Offers. If any Person makes a tender offer, including, without limitation, a “mini-tender” offer, such Person must comply with all of the provisions set forth in Regulation 14D of the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, disclosure and notice requirements, that would be applicable if the tender offer was for more than five percent of the outstanding Shares; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by the Exchange Act, such documents are not required to be filed with the SEC. In addition, any such Person must provide notice to the Corporation at least ten business days prior to initiating any such tender offer. No Stockholder may Transfer any Shares held by such Stockholder to any Person who initiates a tender offer without complying with the provisions set forth above (a “Non-Compliant Tender Offer”) unless such Stockholder shall have first offered such Shares to the Corporation at the tender offer price offered in such Non-Compliant Tender Offer. In addition, any Person who makes a Non-Compliant Tender Offer shall be responsible for all expenses incurred by the Corporation in connection with the enforcement of the provisions of this Section 11.7, including, without limitation, expenses incurred in connection with the review of all documents related to such tender offer. In addition to the remedies provided herein, the Corporation may seek injunctive relief, including, without limitation, a temporary or permanent restraining order, in connection with any Non-Compliant Tender Offer. This Section 11.7 shall be of no force or effect with respect to any Shares that are then Listed.

Re:Registration Statement on Form S-11

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have served as Maryland counsel to Moody National REIT II, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), in connection with certain matters of Maryland law arising out of the registration of 44,210,526 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) covered by the above-referenced Registration Statement, and all amendments thereto (the “Registration Statement”), filed by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). 40,000,000 Shares (the “Public Offering Shares”) are issuable in the Company’s primary offering (the “Offering”) pursuant to subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) and 4,210,526 Shares (the “Plan Shares”) are issuable pursuant to the Company’s Distribution Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), subject to the right of the Company to reallocate Shares between the Offering and the Plan as described in the Registration Statement.

 

In connection with our representation of the Company, and as a basis for the opinion hereinafter set forth, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following documents (herein collectively referred to as the “Documents”):

 

1.         The Registration Statement and the related form of prospectus included therein (including, without limitation, the form of Subscription Agreement attached thereto as Appendix B and the Plan attached thereto as Appendix C) in the form in which it was transmitted to the Commission under the 1933 Act;

 

2.         The charter of the Company (the “Charter”), certified by the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland (the “SDAT”);

 

3.         The Bylaws of the Company, certified as of the date hereof by an officer of the Company;

 

4.         A certificate of the SDAT as to the good standing of the Company, dated as of a recent date;

6.         A certificate executed by an officer of the Company, dated as of the date hereof; and

 

7.         Such other documents and matters as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to express the opinion set forth below, subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications stated herein.

 

In expressing the opinion set forth below, we have assumed the following:

 

1.         Each individual executing any of the Documents, whether on behalf of such individual or another person, is legally competent to do so.

 

2.         Each individual executing any of the Documents on behalf of a party (other than the Company) is duly authorized to do so.

 

3.         Each of the parties (other than the Company) executing any of the Documents has duly and validly executed and delivered each of the Documents to which such party is a signatory, and such party’s obligations set forth therein are legal, valid and binding and are enforceable in accordance with all stated terms.

 

4.         All Documents submitted to us as originals are authentic. The form and content of all Documents submitted to us as unexecuted drafts do not differ in any respect relevant to this opinion from the form and content of such Documents as executed and delivered. All Documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies conform to the original documents. All signatures on all Documents are genuine. All public records reviewed or relied upon by us or on our behalf are true and complete. All representations, warranties, statements and information contained in the Documents are true and complete. There has been no oral or written modification of or amendment to any of the Documents, and there has been no waiver of any provision of any of the Documents, by action or omission of the parties or otherwise.

6.         Upon the issuance of any of the Shares, the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding will not exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is then authorized to issue under the Charter. We note that, as of the date hereof, there are more than 44,210,526 shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Charter.

 

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications stated herein, it is our opinion that:

 

1.         The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Maryland and is in good standing with the SDAT.

 

2.         The issuance of the Public Offering Shares has been duly authorized and, when and if issued and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the Resolutions, the Subscription Agreements and the Registration Statement, the Public Offering Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

3.         The issuance of the Plan Shares has been duly authorized and, when and if issued and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the Resolutions, the Plan and the Registration Statement, the Plan Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

The foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Maryland and we do not express any opinion herein concerning any other law. We express no opinion as to compliance with any federal or state securities laws, including the securities laws of the State of Maryland, or as to federal or state laws regarding fraudulent transfers. To the extent that any matter as to which our opinion is expressed herein would be governed by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Maryland, we do not express any opinion on such matter. The opinion expressed herein is subject to the effect of judicial decisions which may permit the introduction of parol evidence to modify the terms or the interpretation of agreements.

 

The opinion expressed herein is limited to the matters specifically set forth herein and no other opinion shall be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated. We assume no obligation to supplement this opinion if any applicable law changes after the date hereof or if we become aware of any fact that might change the opinion expressed herein after the date hereof.

Re: Registration on Form S-11 Relating to Shares of Common Stock of Moody National REIT II

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We are acting as tax counsel to Moody National REIT II, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the registration statement on Form S-11, File No. 333-198305 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to register up to $1,100,000,000 of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Shares”). This opinion letter is rendered pursuant to Item 16 of Form S-11 and Item 601(b)(8) of Regulation S-K.

 

You have requested our opinions as to (1) the qualification of the Company as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Section 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and (ii) the accuracy of the discussion of U.S. federal income tax considerations contained under the caption “Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the Registration Statement.

 

In preparing this opinion letter, we have reviewed the forms of the Company’s Articles of Amendment and Restatement, the Registration Statement and such other documents as we have considered relevant to our analysis. We have also obtained representations as to factual matters made by the Company through a certificate of an officer of the Company (the “Officer’s Certificate”).

Further, we have assumed, with your consent, that (i) the factual representations set forth in the Officer’s Certificate and the description of the Company and its subsidiaries and their proposed activities in the Registration Statement are true, accurate and complete as of the date hereof, and that during the year ending December 31 in which the escrow period for the Company’s offering concludes and Shares are issued in the Company’s offering, and during subsequent taxable years, the Company and its subsidiaries will operate in a manner that will make the representations contained in the Officer’s Certificate and the description of the Company and its subsidiaries and their proposed activities in the Registration Statement true for such years, (ii) the Company will file the form of Articles of Amendment and Restatement with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation, (iii) other than the filing of the form of Articles of Amendment and Restatement, the Company will not make any amendments to its organizational documents after the date of this opinion that would affect the Company’s qualification as a REIT for any taxable year, (iv) the Company will elect to be taxed as a REIT by filing Form 1120-REIT for its tax year ending December 31 in which the escrow period for the Company’s offering concludes and Shares are issued in the Company’s offering, and (v) no action will be taken after the date hereof by the Company or any of its subsidiaries that would have the effect of altering the facts upon which the opinion set forth below is based.

 

For purposes of our opinion, we have not made an independent investigation of the factual representations and covenants set forth in the Officer’s Certificate, the Registration Statement, or in any other document. Consequently, we have assumed, and relied on your factual representations, that the information presented in the Officer’s Certificate, the Registration Statement, and other documents accurately and completely describe all material facts relevant to our opinion. We have assumed that such factual representations are true without regard to any qualification as to knowledge or belief. Our opinion is conditioned on the continuing accuracy and completeness of such statements, factual representations and covenants. Any material change or inaccuracy in the facts referred to, set forth, or assumed herein or in the Officer’s Certificate may affect our conclusions set forth herein.

 

The opinions expressed herein are given as of the date hereof and are based upon the Code, the U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, current administrative positions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and existing judicial decisions, any of which could be changed at any time, possibly on a retroactive basis. Any such changes could adversely affect the opinions rendered herein. In addition, as noted above, our opinions are based solely on the documents that we have examined and the representations that have been made to us and cannot be relied upon if any of the facts contained in such documents or in such additional information is, or later becomes, inaccurate or if any of the representations made to us are, or later become, inaccurate. Our opinions are limited to the U.S. federal income tax matters specifically covered herein. We have not opined on any other tax consequences to the Company or any other person. Further, we express no opinion with respect to other federal laws or the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

 

(1)         Commencing with the year ending December 31 in which the escrow period for the Company’s offering concludes and Shares are issued in the Company’s offering, and assuming that the elections and other procedural steps referred to in the Registration Statement and Officer’s Certificate are completed by the Company in a timely fashion, the Company will be organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and the Company’s contemplated method of operations will enable it to satisfy the requirements for such qualification.

 

(ii)         The statements under the caption “Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the Registration Statement, to the extent they constitute matters of law, summaries of legal matters, documents or proceedings, or legal conclusions, are correct in all material respects.

 

The Company’s status as a REIT at any time during such year and subsequent years is dependent upon, among other things, the Company meeting the requirements of Sections 856 through 860 of the Code throughout such year and for the year as a whole. Accordingly, because the Company’s satisfaction of such requirements will depend upon future events, including the final determination of financial and operational results, it is not possible to assure that the Company will satisfy the requirements to qualify as a REIT in any particular taxable year.

 

Our opinions do not preclude the possibility that the Company may have to utilize one or more of the various “savings provisions” under the Code that would permit the Company to cure certain violations of the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. Utilizing such savings provisions could require the Company to pay significant penalty or excise taxes.

 

No opinions other than those expressly contained herein may be inferred or implied. Also, we undertake no obligation to update this opinion letter, or to ascertain after the date hereof whether circumstances occurring after such date may affect the conclusions set forth herein.

 

This opinion letter is being furnished to you for submission to the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 81 to the Registration Statement and to reference to this firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus constituting a part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are an “expert” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Sincerely,

The Advisor shall at all reasonable times have access to the books and records of the Company and the Operating Partnership.

 

7.         LIMITATIONS ON ACTIVITIES. Anything else in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Advisor shall refrain from taking any action which, in its sole judgment made in good faith, would (a) adversely affect the ability of the Company to qualify or continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code unless the Board has determined that the Company will not seek or maintain REIT qualification, (b) subject the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (c) violate any law, rule, regulation or statement of policy of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company or its Shares, or otherwise not be permitted by the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, except if such action shall be ordered by the Board, in which case the Advisor shall notify promptly the Board of the Advisor’s judgment of the potential impact of such action and shall refrain from taking such action until it receives further clarification or instructions from the Board. In such event, the Advisor shall have no liability for acting in accordance with the specific instructions of the Board so given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor, its directors, officers, employees and members, and partners, directors, officers, members and stockholders of the Advisor’s Affiliates shall not be liable to the Company or to the Directors or Stockholders for any act or omission by the Advisor, its directors, officers, employees, or members, and partners, directors, officers, members or stockholders of the Advisor’s Affiliates taken or omitted to be taken in the performance of their duties under this Agreement except as provided in Section 19 of this Agreement.

 

8.         RELATIONSHIP WITH DIRECTORS. Subject to Section 7 of this Agreement and to restrictions advisable with respect to the qualification of the Company as a REIT, directors, officers and employees of the Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor or any corporate parents of an Affiliate, may serve as a Director and as officers of the Company, except that no director, officer or employee of the Advisor or its Affiliates who also is a Director or officer of the Company shall receive any compensation from the Company for serving as a Director or officer other than reasonable reimbursement for travel and related expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Directors and no such Director shall be deemed an Independent Director for purposes of satisfying the Director independence requirement set forth in the Articles of Incorporation.

 

9.         FEES.

 

(a)         Acquisition Fees. The Advisor shall receive an Acquisition Fee payable by the Company as compensation for services rendered in connection with the investigation, selection and acquisition (by purchase, investment, exchange, sourcing or origination) of Investments. The total Acquisition Fees payable to the Advisor or its Affiliates shall equal 1.5% of (i) the cost of all Investments, including Acquisition Expenses and any debt attributed to such Investments and excluding Acquisition Fees and Financing Coordination Fees, or (ii) the amount funded by the Company to acquire or originate a Loan, including Acquisition Expenses related to such Investments and any debt used to fund the acquisition or origination of a Loan and excluding Acquisition Fees and Financing Coordination Fees. With respect to the acquisition of Real Estate Assets through a Joint Venture, the Acquisition Fee payable by the Company to the Advisor shall equal 1.5% of the Company’s allocable cost of such Real Estate Assets, including Acquisition Expenses and any debt attributed to such Investments and excluding Acquisition Fees and Financing Coordination Fees. Once the proceeds from the Primary Offering have been fully invested, the aggregate amount of Acquisition Fees and Financing Coordination Fees shall not exceed 1.9% of the Contract Sales Price and the amount advanced for a Loan or other Investment for all the assets acquired. The Advisor shall submit an invoice to the Company following the closing or closings of each Investment, accompanied by a computation of the Acquisition Fee. The Acquisition Fee payable to the Advisor shall be paid at the closing of the transaction upon receipt of the invoice by the Company.

(b)         Limitation on Total Acquisition Fees, Financing Coordination Fees and Acquisition Expenses. Pursuant to the NASAA REIT Guidelines, the total of all Acquisition Fees, Acquisition Expenses and Financing Coordination Fees shall not exceed 6.0% of the “contract purchase price,” as defined in the Articles of Incorporation, of all Investments acquired.

 

(c)         Disposition Fees. If the Advisor provides a substantial amount of services, as determined by the Independent Directors in connection with a Sale, the Company shall pay a Disposition Fee to the Advisor equal to the lesser of (i)(a) where a brokerage commission is also payable to a third party, one-half of the aggregate brokerage commission paid, including brokerage commissions payable to third parties, or (b) where no brokerage commission is payable to any third party, the Competitive Brokerage Commission or (ii) 3.0% of the Contract Sales Price. With respect to a Property held in a Joint Venture, the Disposition Fee will be equal to the percentage of the “contract purchase price” reflecting the Company’s economic interest in the Joint Venture. Any Disposition Fee payable under this Section 9(c) may be paid in addition to real estate commissions paid to non-Affiliates, provided that the total real estate commissions (including such Disposition Fee) paid to all Persons by the Company for each Investment shall not exceed 6.0% of the Contract Sales Price.

 

(d)         Asset Management Fee. The Advisor shall receive the Asset Management Fee as compensation for services rendered pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement in connection with the management of the Company’s assets. The Asset Management Fee shall be calculated monthly and consists of a monthly fee of one-twelfth of 1.0% of the aggregate cost (before non-cash reserves and depreciation) of all Investments the Company owns, including Acquisition Fees, Acquisition Expenses and any debt attributable to such Investments. With the exception of any portion of the Asset Management Fee related to the disposition of Investments, which shall be payable at the time of such disposition, the Asset Management Fee shall be payable on the first of each month.

 

(e)         Financing Coordination Fees. The Advisor shall receive a Financing Coordination Fee as compensation for services rendered in connection with the coordination of debt financing obtained by the Company. The total Financing Coordination Fee payable to the Advisor or its Affiliates shall equal (i) 1.0% of the amount available under any loan or line of credit originated or assumed, directly or indirectly, in connection with the acquisition of Real Properties or other permitted Investments, by the Company, and will be in addition to the Acquisition Fees paid to the Advisor; (ii) 0.75% of the amount available or outstanding under any refinanced loan or line of credit of the Company, and will be in addition to the Acquisition Fees paid to the Advisor; or (iii) 0.75% of the Company’s proportionate share of the amount available or outstanding under any refinanced loan or line of credit in the case of Investments made through a Joint Venture, and will be in addition to the Acquisition Fees paid to the Advisor. Financing Coordination Fees will only be payable if the Advisor or its Affiliates provides services in connection with the origination, assumption or refinancing of debt that the Company uses to acquire Real Properties or other permitted Investments. The Advisor may pay some or all of the Financing Coordination Fee to third parties if the Advisor subcontracts with such third parties to coordinate financing obtained by the Company. The Advisor shall submit an invoice to the Company following the closing or closings of each debt financing or refinancing obtained by the Company, accompanied by a computation of the Financing Coordination Fee. The Financing Coordination Fee payable to the Advisor shall be paid at the closing of the debt financing upon receipt of the invoice by the Company.

 

(f)         Special Limited Partnership Interests  In addition, an Affiliate of the Advisor has made a capital contribution of $1,000 to the Operating Partnership in exchange for Special Limited Partnership Interests.  The Special Limited Partnership Interests shall be entitled to the distributions provided for, and shall be subject to redemption by the Operating Partnership, in accordance with the terms of the Operating Partnership Agreement.  To the extent distributions to the Special Limited Partnership Interests are not paid from net sales proceeds, such amounts will count against the limit on Total Operating Expenses set forth in the Articles of Incorporation.

11
 

 

 

10.         EXPENSES.

 

(a)         In addition to the fees paid to the Advisor pursuant to Section 9 hereof and subject to the limitations set forth in the Articles of Incorporation, the Company or the Operating Partnership shall pay directly or reimburse the Advisor for all of the expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor in connection with the services it provides to the Company and the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to:

 

(i)         Organizational and Offering Expenses only upon such time as the Minimum Offering Amount has been achieved; provided, however, that (1) the Company shall not reimburse the Advisor to the extent such reimbursement would cause the total amount of Organization and Offering Expenses attributable to the Initial Public Offering paid by the Company and the Operating Partnership to exceed 15.0% of the Gross Proceeds from the Initial Public Offering raised as of the date of the reimbursement; (2) within 60 days after the end of the month in which the current Offering terminates, the Advisor shall reimburse the Company to the extent the Organizational and Offering Expenses borne by the Company exceed 15% of the Gross Proceeds raised in the completed Offering; and (3) the Company shall not reimburse the Advisor for any Organization and Offering Expenses that the Independent Directors determine are not fair and commercially reasonable to the Company.

 

(ii)        Acquisition Expenses incurred in connection with the selection and acquisition of Investments subject to the aggregate 6.0% cap on Acquisition Fees, Acquisition Expenses and Financing Coordination Fees set forth in Section 9(b);

 

(iii)       the actual cost of goods and services used by the Company and obtained from entities not affiliated with the Advisor;

 

(iv)       interest and other costs for borrowed money, including discounts, points and other similar fees;

 

(v)        taxes and assessments on income of the Company or Investments;

(vii)      expenses of managing and operating Investments owned by the Company, whether payable to an Affiliate of the Company or a non-Affiliated Person;

 

(viii)     all expenses in connection with payments to the Directors for attending meetings of the Directors and Stockholders;

 

12
 

 

(ix)        expenses associated with a Listing, if applicable, or with the issuance and distribution of Shares, such as selling commissions and fees, advertising expenses, taxes, legal and accounting fees, listing and registration fees, and other Organization and Offering Expenses;

 

(x)         expenses connected with payments of Distributions in cash or otherwise made or caused to be made by the Company to the Stockholders;

 

(xi)        expenses of organizing, revising, amending, converting, modifying, or terminating the Company or the Articles of Incorporation;

 

(xii)       expenses of maintaining communications with Stockholders, including the cost of preparation, printing, and mailing annual reports and other Stockholder reports, proxy statements and other reports required by governmental entities;

 

(xiii)      administrative service expenses (including (a) personnel costs; provided, however, that no reimbursement shall be made for costs of personnel to the extent that such personnel perform services in transactions for which the Advisor receives Acquisition Fees, Financing Coordination Fees, Asset Management Fees, hotel management fees or real estate sales commissions, and (b) the Company’s allocable share of other overhead of the Advisor such as rent and utilities); and

 

(xiv)      audit, accounting and legal fees and other fees for professional services relating to the operations of the Company and all such fees incurred at the request, or on behalf of, the Board or any committee of the Board;

 

(xv)       out-of-pocket costs for the Company to comply with all applicable laws, regulations and ordinances, including without limitation, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended; and

 

(xvi)      all other out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Advisor in performing its duties hereunder.

 

(b)         Expenses incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company and the Operating Partnership and payable pursuant to this Section 10 shall be reimbursed no less than monthly to the Advisor. The Advisor shall prepare a statement documenting the expenses of the Company and the Operating Partnership and the calculation of the Asset Management Fee during each quarter, and shall deliver such statement to the Company and the Operating Partnership within 45 days after the end of each quarter. Notwithstanding anything this Agreement to the contrary, the expenses enumerated in this Section 10 shall not become reimbursable to the Advisor unless and until the Company raises $2 million the Minimum Offering Amount.

 

11.         OTHER SERVICES. Should the Directors request that the Advisor or any director, officer or employee thereof render services for the Company and the Operating Partnership other than set forth in Section 3, such services shall be separately compensated at such rates and in such amounts as are agreed by the Advisor and the Independent Directors, subject to the limitations contained in the Articles of Incorporation, and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

13
 

 

12.          REIMBURSEMENT TO THE ADVISOR . The Company may reimburse the Advisor, at the end of each fiscal quarter, for Total Operating Expenses incurred by the Advisor; provided, however, that the Company shall not reimburse the Advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter commencing on the fourth fiscal quarter after the quarter in which the Corporation makes its first investment in an Asset, for Total Operating Expenses that, in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended, exceed the greater of two percent of Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”) for such 12-month period. Any Excess Amount paid to the Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to the Company or, at the option of the Company, subtracted from the Total Operating Expenses reimbursed during the subsequent fiscal quarter. If there is an Excess Amount in any Expense Year and the Independent Directors determine that such excess was justified based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient, then the Excess Amount may be carried over and included in Total Operating Expenses in subsequent Expense Years and reimbursed to the Advisor in one or more of such years, provided that there shall be sent to the Stockholders a written disclosure of such fact, together with an explanation of the factors the Independent Directors considered in determining that such excess expenses were justified. Such determination shall be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board. The Company will not reimburse the Advisor or its Affiliates for services for which the Advisor or its Affiliates are entitled to receive Acquisition Fees, Financing Coordination Fees, Asset Management Fees, hotel management fees or real estate commissions. All figures used in the foregoing computation shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.

 

13.         RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES. The Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Advisor on the other, are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make them such partners of joint venturers or impose any liability as such on either of them.

 

14.         OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor or any of its Affiliates from engaging in or earning fees from other activities, including, without limitation, the rendering of advice to other Persons (including other REITs) and the management of other programs advised, sponsored or organized by the Advisor or its Affiliates; nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of any director, officer, member, partner, employee, or stockholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in or earn fees from any other business or to render services of any kind to any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association and earn fees for rendering such services. The Advisor may, with respect to any Investment in which the Company is a participant, also render advice and service to each and every other participant therein, and earn fees for rendering such advice and service. Specifically, it is contemplated that the Company may enter into joint ventures or other similar co-investment arrangements with certain Persons, and pursuant to the agreements governing such joint ventures or arrangements, the Advisor may be engaged to provide advice and service to such Persons, in which case the Advisor will earn fees for rendering such advice and service.

 

The Advisor shall report to the Board the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, which creates or could create a conflict of interest between the Advisor’s obligations to the Company and its obligations to or its interest in any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association. The Advisor or its Affiliates shall promptly disclose to the Board knowledge of such condition or circumstance. If the Advisor or its Affiliates have sponsored other investment programs with similar investment objectives which have investment funds available at the same time as the Company, it shall be the duty of the Board (including the Independent Directors) to ensure that the Advisor and its Affiliates adopt the method approved by the Independent Directors by which investments are to be allocated to the competing investment entities and to use their best efforts to ensure that such method is applied fairly to the Company.

 

14
 

 

15.         TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall have an initial term of one year from the Effective Date and may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year terms upon mutual consent of the Parties.  The Company will evaluate the performance of the Advisor annually before renewing this Agreement, and each such renewal shall be for a term of no more than one year.  Any such renewal must be approved by the Independent Directors.

 

16.         TERMINATION BY THE PARTIES. This Agreement may be terminated (i) immediately by the Company or the Operating Partnership for Cause or upon the bankruptcy of the Advisor, (ii) upon 60 days written notice without Cause and without penalty by a majority of the Independent Directors of the Company or (iii) upon 60 days written notice with Good Reason by the Advisor. The provisions of Sections 17 through 30 survive termination of this Agreement.

 

17.         ASSIGNMENT TO AN AFFILIATE. This Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor to an Affiliate with the majority approval of the Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors). The Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement to any Person without obtaining the approval of the Board. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company or the Operating Partnership without the consent of the Advisor, except in the case of an assignment by the Company or the Operating Partnership to a corporation, limited partnership or other organization which is a successor to all of the assets, rights and obligations of the Company or the Operating Partnership, in which case such successor organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company and the Operating Partnership are bound by this Agreement.

 

18.         PAYMENTS TO AND DUTIES OF ADVISOR UPON TERMINATION.

 

(a)         After the Termination Date, the Advisor shall not be entitled to compensation for further services hereunder except it shall be entitled to receive from the Company or the Operating Partnership within 30 days after the effective date of such termination all unpaid reimbursements of expenses and all earned but unpaid fees payable to the Advisor prior to termination of this Agreement, subject to the 2%/25% Guidelines to the extent applicable.

 

(b)         The Advisor shall promptly upon termination:

 

(i)         pay over to the Company and the Operating Partnership all money collected and held for the account of the Company and the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, after deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled;

 

(ii)        deliver to the Board a full accounting, including a statement showing all payments collected by it and a statement of all money held by it, covering the period following the date of the last accounting furnished to the Board;

 

(iii)       deliver to the Board all assets, including all Investments, and documents of the Company and the Operating Partnership then in the custody of the Advisor; and

 

(iv)       cooperate with the Company and the Operating Partnership to provide an orderly management transition.

 

15
 

 

19.         INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP. The Company and the Operating Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective directors (the “Indemnitees,” and each an “Indemnitee”), from all liability, claims, damages or losses arising in the performance of their duties hereunder, and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent such liability, claims, damages or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance, and to the extent that such indemnification would not be inconsistent with the laws of the State of Maryland, the Articles of Incorporation or the provisions of Section II.G of the NASAA REIT Guidelines. In addition, the Company and the Operating Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the officers of the Company and the Advisor and its Affiliates from all liability, claims, damages or losses arising in the performance of their duties hereunder, and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent such liability, claims, damages or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance, and to the extent that such indemnification would not be inconsistent with the laws of the State of Maryland or the Articles of Incorporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Operating Partnership shall not provide for indemnification of an Indemnitee for any loss or liability suffered by such Indemnitee, nor shall they provide that an Indemnitee be held harmless for any loss or liability suffered by the Company and the Operating Partnership, unless all of the following conditions are met:

 

(a)         the Indemnitee has determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in the best interest of the Company and the Operating Partnership;

 

(b)         the Indemnitee was acting on behalf of, or performing services for, the Company or the Operating Partnership;

 

(c)         such liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct by the Indemnitee; and

 

(d)         such indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of the Company’s net assets and not from the Stockholders.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnitee shall not be indemnified by the Company and the Operating Partnership for any losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such Indemnitee unless one or more of the following conditions are met:

 

(a)         there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the Indemnitee;

 

(b)         such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the Indemnitee; or

 

(c)         a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the Indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the Company or the Operating Partnership were offered or sold as to indemnification for violation of securities laws.

 

In addition, the advancement of the Company’s or the Operating Partnership’s funds to an Indemnitee for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought is permissible only if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

 

(a)         the legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company or the Operating Partnership;

 

16
 

 

(b)         the legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a Stockholder or the legal action is initiated by a stockholder acting in such stockholder’s capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; and

 

(c)         the Indemnitee undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the Company or the Operating Partnership, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which such Indemnitee is found not to be entitled to indemnification.

 

20.         INDEMNIFICATION BY ADVISOR. The Advisor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Operating Partnership from contract or other liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses including attorneys’ fees, to the extent that such liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance and are incurred by reason of the Advisor’s bad faith, fraud, misfeasance, intentional misconduct, negligence or reckless disregard of its duties; provided, however, that the Advisor shall not be held responsible for any action of the Board in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation given by the Advisor.

 

21. EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS . In the event the Company or the Operating Partnership shall propose to enter into any transaction in which a Director or an officer of the Company, and the Advisor, or any Affiliate of the Company, the Operating Partnership or the Advisor has a direct or indirect interest, then such transaction shall be approved by a majority of the Board and also by a majority of the Independent Directors.

 

22.          NON-SOLICITATION. During the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending one year following the Termination Date, the Company shall not, without the Advisor’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly (i) solicit or encourage any person to leave the employment or other service of the Advisor or its Affiliates; or (ii) hire on behalf of the Company or any other person or entity, any person who has left its employment within the one year period following the termination of that person’s employment the Advisor or its Affiliates. During the period commencing on the date hereof through and ending one year following the Termination Date, the Company will not, whether for its own account or for the account of any other Person, intentionally interfere with the relationship of the Advisor or its Affiliates with, or endeavor to entice away from the Advisor or its Affiliates, any person who during the term of the Agreement is, or during the preceding one-year period, was a tenant, co-investor, co-developer, joint venturer or other customer of the Advisor or its Affiliates.

 

23.          NOTICES. Any notice, report or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing unless some other method of giving such notice, report or other communication is required by the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, or accepted by the Party to whom it is given, and shall be given by being delivered by hand, by facsimile transmission, by courier or overnight carrier or by registered or certified mail to the addresses set forth herein:

WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent has agreed to receive and hold in escrow all funds received from Subscribers in payment for the Shares (“Subscriber Funds”) until the earlier of (i) such time as subscriptions for the minimum offering amount of $2,000,000 (including Shares purchased by the Company’s sponsor, its affiliates and the Company’s officers and directors) (the “Minimum Amount”) have been received and accepted by the Company or (ii) the close of business on the date exactly one year from the date of the commencement of the Offering (the “Expiration Date”) (the Company shall provide written notice of such Expiration Date to the Escrow Agent), and to hold and distribute such Subscriber Funds in accordance with the terms and conditions herein set forth; and

 

WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent is willing to accept appointment as escrow agent upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.         Escrow of Subscriber Funds.

 

(a)         On or before the commencement of the Offering, the Company shall establish the Escrow Account with the Escrow Agent, which shall be entitled “UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent for Moody National REIT II.” During the term of this Escrow Agreement, all Subscriber Funds will be delivered to the Escrow Agent within one (1) business day following: (i) the receipt of the Subscriber Funds by the Company or the Dealer Manager and (ii) such subscription being accepted by the Company. Upon receipt of good and collected Subscriber Funds by the Escrow Agent, all such Subscriber Funds shall be retained in the Escrow Account by the Escrow Agent and invested as stated below. During the term of this Escrow Agreement, the Company and the Dealer Manager shall cause all checks received by and made payable to each of them in payment for the Shares to be endorsed in favor of the Escrow Agent and delivered to the Escrow Agent for deposit in the Escrow Account. Subscriber Funds also may be wired directly to the Escrow Account using wire instructions provided by the Escrow Agent.

 

 
 

 

(b)         Escrow Agent shall have no duty to make any disbursement, investment or other use of Subscriber Funds until and unless it has good and collected funds. In the event that any checks deposited in the Escrow Account are returned or prove uncollectible after the funds represented thereby have been released by the Escrow Agent, then the Company shall promptly reimburse the Escrow Agent for any and all costs incurred for such, upon request, and the Escrow Agent shall deliver the returned checks to the Company. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty or responsibility to enforce collection of any check delivered to it hereunder. The Escrow Agent reserves the right to deny, suspend or terminate participation by a Subscriber to the extent the Escrow Agent deems it advisable or necessary to comply with applicable laws.

 

2.         Operation of the Escrow.

 

(a)         Until such time as the Company has received gross subscription proceeds equal to the Minimum Amount and the Subscriber Funds are disbursed from the Escrow Account in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof, Subscribers will be instructed to make checks, drafts, wires, Automated Clearing House (ACH) or money orders (“Instruments of Payment”) for subscriptions payable to the order of “UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent for Moody National REIT II, Inc.” Completed subscription agreements and Instruments of Payment for the purchase price shall be remitted to the address designated for the receipt of such agreements and Instruments of Payment. Any Instruments of Payment made payable to a party other than the Escrow Agent shall be returned to the Dealer Manager or the Dealer who submitted such Instrument of Payment not later than the end of the second business day following receipt by the Dealer of such materials. When a Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures are conducted at the site at which the Instruments of Payment and the Subscription Materials (as defined below) are initially received by such Dealer, by noon of the next business day after receipt of any Instruments of Payment and Subscription Materials, such Dealer will send to the Escrow Agent such Instruments of Payment along with each Subscriber’s name, address, executed IRS Form W-9, number of Shares purchased and purchase price remitted and any other subscription documentation (the “Subscription Materials”). When the Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures are conducted at a different location (the “Final Review Office”), the Dealer shall transmit the Instruments of Payment and the Subscription Materials to the Final Review Office by noon of the next business day after receipt of any Instruments of Payment and Subscription Materials, and then the Final Review Office will, by noon of the next business day following its receipt of the Instruments of Payment and the Subscription Materials, forward the Instruments of Payment and the Subscription Materials to the Escrow Agent. To the extent that subscription agreements and payments are remitted by the Company, the Dealer Manager or a Dealer, the Company, the Dealer Manager or a Dealer, as applicable, will furnish to the Escrow Agent a list detailing information regarding such subscriptions as set forth in Exhibit A. Deposits shall be held in the Escrow Account until such funds are disbursed in accordance with this Section 2. Prior to disbursement of the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, such funds shall not be subject to claims by creditors of the Company or any of its affiliates. If any of the Instruments of Payment are returned to the Escrow Agent for nonpayment prior to the satisfaction of the Minimum Amount, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Transfer Agent and the Company in writing via mail, email or facsimile of such nonpayment, and the Escrow Agent is authorized to debit the Escrow Account, as applicable, in the amount of such returned payment as well as any interest earned on the amount of such payment and the Transfer Agent shall delete the appropriate account from the records maintained by the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent will maintain a written account of each sale, which account shall set forth, among other things, the following information: (i) the subscriber’s name and address, (ii) the number of Shares purchased by such subscriber, and (iii) the amount paid by such subscriber for such Shares. Prior to the termination of this Escrow Agreement, neither the Company nor the Dealer Manager will be entitled to any funds received into the Escrow Account.

 

2
 

 

(b)         If at any time on or prior to the Expiration Date, the subscription proceeds received by the Escrow Agent are equal to or greater than the Minimum Amount, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Dealer Manager. After the Escrow Agent delivers such notice, the Company shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a written instruction from an officer of the Company stating that the Minimum Amount has been timely raised and authorizing the delivery of all subscription funds in the Escrow Account to the Company. Thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall (i) disburse to the Company, by check or wire transfer, the funds in the Escrow Account representing the principal amount of the gross subscription payments from Subscribers received by the Escrow Agent, and (ii) within ten (10) business days after the first business day of the succeeding month, disburse to such Subscribers any interest accrued thereon; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall not disburse those funds of a Subscriber whose subscription has been rejected or rescinded of which the Escrow Agent has been notified by the Company, or otherwise in accordance with the Company’s written request.

 

(c)         After the satisfaction of the provisions of this Section 2 with respect to the disbursement of funds, in the event that the Company receives subscriptions made payable to the Escrow Agent, subscription proceeds may continue to be received in the Escrow Account, but to the extent that the process shall not be subject to escrow due to the Company reaching the Minimum Amount, the proceeds shall not be subject to this Escrow Agreement, and at the instruction of the Company to the Escrow Agent, shall be transferred from the Escrow Account or deposited into, as the case may be, a commercial deposit account in the name of the Company with the Escrow Agent (the “Deposit Account”) that has been previously established by the Company, unless otherwise directed by the Company. No provisions of this Escrow Agreement shall apply to the Deposit Account.

 

(d)         If, as of the Expiration Date, the funds in the Escrow Account do not equal or exceed the Minimum Amount, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Company. Within ten (10) days following the Company’s receipt of such notice, the Escrow Agent shall promptly return directly to each Subscriber (i) by check or wire transfer, the subscription funds deposited in the Escrow Account on behalf of such Subscriber (unless earlier disbursed in accordance with this Escrow Agreement), or (ii) the Instruments of Payment delivered to the Escrow Agent with respect to such Subscriber’s subscription if such Instrument of Payment has not been processed for collection prior to such time, in either case, together with any interest income thereon. Notwithstanding the above, in the event the Escrow Agent has not received an executed IRS Form W-9 at such time for each Subscriber, the Escrow Agent shall remit an amount to the Subscribers in accordance with the provisions hereof, withholding the applicable percentage for backup withholding required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), from any interest income on subscription proceeds attributable to each Subscriber for whom the Escrow Agent does not possess an executed IRS Form W-9. However, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to remit any payments until the Escrow Agent has collected funds represented by such payments.

3.         Identity of Subscribers.

 

The Company or the Dealer Manager shall furnish to the Escrow Agent with each delivery of an Instrument of Payment, a list of the Subscribers who have paid for the Shares showing the name, address, tax identification number, amount of Shares subscribed for and the amount paid and deposited with the Escrow Agent. This information comprising the identity of Subscribers shall be provided to the Escrow Agent in the format set forth on Exhibit A to this Escrow Agreement (the “List of Subscribers”). All Subscriber’s funds so deposited shall not be subject to any liens or charges by the Company, the Dealer Manager or the Escrow Agent, or judgments or creditors’ claims against the Company, until released to the Company as provided herein. The Company understands and agrees that the Company shall not be entitled to any Subscriber’s funds on deposit in the Escrow Account and no such funds shall become the property of the Company except when released to the Company pursuant to this Escrow Agreement. The Company, the Dealer Manager and the Escrow Agent will treat all Subscriber information as confidential. The Escrow Agent shall not be required to accept any funds from Subscribers which are not accompanied by the information on the List of Subscribers.

 

4.         Rejected Subscriptions.

 

In the event the Escrow Agent receives written notice from the Company or the Dealer Manager that the Company or Dealer Manager has rejected a Subscriber’s subscription, the Escrow Agent shall pay to the applicable Subscriber, within ten (10) business days after receiving notice of the rejection, by first class United States mail at the address appearing on the List of Subscribers, or at such other address or fed wire instructions as are furnished to the Escrow Agent by the Subscriber in writing, all collected sums paid by the Subscriber for Shares and received by the Escrow Agent, together with any interest earned thereon.

 

5.         Term of Escrow.

 

Unless otherwise provided in this Escrow Agreement, final termination of this Escrow Agreement shall occur on the date that (a) all funds held in the Escrow Account are distributed either to the Company or to Subscribers and the Company has informed the Escrow Agent in writing to close the Escrow Account, (b) all funds held in the Escrow Account are distributed to a successor escrow agent upon written instructions from the Company or (c) the Escrow Agent receives written notice from the Company or the Dealer Manager that the Company terminated the Offering. After the termination of this Escrow Agreement, the Company and the Dealer Manager shall not deposit, and the Escrow Agent shall not accept, any additional amounts representing payments by prospective Subscribers.

 

6.         Duty and Limitation on Liability of the Escrow Agent.

 

(a)         The Escrow Agent’s rights and responsibilities shall be governed solely by this Escrow Agreement. Neither the Offering documents, nor any other agreement or document shall govern the Escrow Agent even if such other agreement or document is referred to herein, is deposited with, or is otherwise known to, the Escrow Agent.

 

(b)         The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to determine whether the Company or the Dealer Manager is complying with the requirements of the Offering or applicable securities or other laws in tendering the Subscriber Funds to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for, or be required to enforce, any of the terms or conditions of any Offering document or other agreement between the Company or the Dealer Manager and any other party.

 

4
 

 

(c)         The Escrow Agent may conclusively rely upon and shall be fully protected in acting upon any statement, certificate, notice, request, consent, order, opinion or advice of counsel, or other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the Company or the Dealer Manager. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty or liability to verify any such statement, certificate, notice, request, consent, order or other document. Upon or before the execution of this Escrow Agreement, the Company and the Dealer Manager shall deliver to the Escrow Agent authorized signers’ lists in the form of Exhibit B to this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice of demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Escrow Agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible, may conclusively rely upon and shall be protected, indemnified and held harmless by the Company and by the Dealer Manager, acting jointly and severally, for the sufficiency or accuracy of the form of, or the execution, validity, value or genuineness of any document or property received, held or delivered by it hereunder, or of the signature or endorsement thereon, or for any description therein; nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible or liable in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights of the persons executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any document, property or this Escrow Agreement.

 

(d)         The Escrow Agent shall be under no obligation to institute and/or defend any action, suit or proceeding in connection with this Escrow Agreement unless first indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction.

 

(e)         The Escrow Agent may consult outside counsel of its own choice with respect to any question arising under this Escrow Agreement and the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted in good faith upon the advice of such counsel.

 

(f)         The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of loss.

 

(g)         The Escrow Agent is acting solely as escrow agent hereunder and owes no duties, covenants or obligations, fiduciary or otherwise, to any person by reason of this Escrow Agreement, except as otherwise explicitly set forth in this Escrow Agreement, and no implied duties, covenants or obligations, fiduciary or otherwise shall be read into this Escrow Agreement against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any person, other than as provided herein. The Escrow Agent shall be under no liability to anyone by reason of any failure on the part of any party hereto or any maker, endorser or other signatory of any document or any other person to perform such person’s obligations under any such document. Except as set forth in (f) above, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith, and in the exercise of its own best judgment.

 

(h)         In the event of any disagreement between any of the parties to this Escrow Agreement, or between any of them and any other person, including any Subscriber, resulting in adverse or conflicting claims or demands being made in connection with the matters covered by this Escrow Agreement, or in the event that the Escrow Agent is in doubt as to what action it should take hereunder, the Escrow Agent may, at its option, refuse to comply with any claims or demands on it, or refuse to take any other action hereunder, so long as such disagreement continues or such doubt exists, and in any such event, the Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any way or to any person for its failure or refusal to act, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to continue so to refrain from acting until (i) the rights of all interested parties shall have been fully and finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) all differences shall have been adjudged and all doubt resolved by agreement among all of the interested persons, and the Escrow Agent shall have been notified thereof in writing signed by all such persons. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Agent may in its discretion obey the order, judgment, decree or levy of any court, with jurisdiction, and the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized in its sole discretion to comply with and obey any such orders, judgments, decrees or levies. In the event that the Escrow Agent shall become involved in any arbitration or litigation relating to the Subscriber Funds, the Escrow Agent is authorized to comply with any decision reached through such arbitration or litigation.

 

5
 

 

(i)         In the event that any controversy should arise with respect to this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall have the right, at its option, to institute an interpleader action in any court of competent jurisdiction to determine the rights of the parties.

 

(j)         IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ESCROW AGENT BE LIABLE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), EVEN IF THE ESCROW AGENT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION.

 

(k)         The parties agree that the Escrow Agent had no role in the preparation of the Offering documents, has not reviewed any such documents, and makes no representations or warranties with respect to the information contained therein or omitted therefrom.

 

(l)         The Escrow Agent shall have no obligation, duty or liability with respect to compliance with any federal or state securities, disclosure or tax laws concerning the Offering documents or the issuance, offering or sale of the Shares.

 

(m)         The Escrow Agent shall have no duty or obligation to monitor the application and use of the Subscriber Funds once transferred to the Company, that being the sole obligation and responsibility of the Company.

 

7.         Escrow Agent’s Fee. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to compensation for its services as stated in the fee schedule attached hereto as Exhibit C, which compensation shall be paid by the Company. The fee agreed upon for the services rendered hereunder is intended as full compensation for the Escrow Agent’s services as contemplated by this Escrow Agreement; provided, however, that in the event that the conditions for the disbursement of funds under this Escrow Agreement are not fulfilled, or the Escrow Agent renders any material service not contemplated in this Escrow Agreement, or there is any assignment of interest in the subject matter of this Escrow Agreement, or any material modification hereof, or if any material controversy arises hereunder, or the Escrow Agent is made a party to any litigation relating to this Escrow Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, then the Escrow Agent shall be reasonably compensated for such extraordinary services and reimbursed for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, occasioned by any delay, controversy, litigation or event, and the same shall be paid by the Company. The Company’s obligations under this Section 7 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent and the assignment or termination of this Escrow Agreement.

 

8.         Investment of Subscriber Funds; Income Allocation and Reporting.

 

(a)         The Escrow Agent shall invest the Subscriber Funds, including any and all interest and investment income, in accordance with the written instructions provided to the Escrow Agent and signed by the Company. In the absence of written investment instructions from the Company, the Escrow Agent shall deposit and invest the Subscriber Funds, including any and all interest and investment income, in UMB Money Market Special, a UMB money market deposit account. Any interest received by the Escrow Agent with respect to the Subscriber Funds, including reinvested interest shall become part of the Subscriber Funds, and shall be disbursed pursuant to this Escrow Agreement. The Company agrees that, for tax reporting purposes, all interest or other taxable income earned on the Subscriber Funds in any tax year shall be taxable to the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, funds in the Escrow Account may only be invested in “Short Term Investments” in compliance with Rule 15c2-4 of the Exchange Act.

(b)         The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to sell or redeem any such investments as the Escrow Agent deems necessary to make any payments or distributions required under this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss which may result from any investment or sale of investment made pursuant to this Escrow Agreement. The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is not providing investment supervision, recommendations, or advice.

 

(c)         At any time pursuant to this Escrow Agreement interest income earned on Subscriber Funds deposited in the Escrow Account (“Escrow Income”) is to be paid to a Subscriber, the Escrow Agent shall promptly provide directly to such Subscriber the amount of Escrow Income payable to such Subscriber; provided that the Escrow Agent is in possession of such Subscriber’s executed IRS Form W-9. In the event an executed IRS Form W-9 is not received for each Subscriber the Escrow Agent shall remit an amount to the Subscribers in accordance with the provisions hereof, withholding the applicable percentage for backup withholding required by the Internal Revenue Code, as then in effect, from any Escrow Income attributable to those Subscribers for whom the Escrow Agent does not possess an executed IRS Form W-9. Escrow Income shall be remitted to Subscribers at the address provided by the Dealer Manager or the Company to the Escrow Agent, which the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and without any deductions for escrow expenses.

 

(d)         The Company agrees to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against any and all taxes, additions for late payment, interest, penalties and other expenses that may be assessed against the Escrow Agent on or with respect to the Subscriber Funds unless any such tax, addition for late payment, interest, penalties and other expenses shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been primarily caused by the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The terms of this paragraph shall survive the assignment or termination of this Escrow Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

All notices, requests, demands, and other communications under this Escrow Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) on the date of service if served personally on the party to whom notice is to be given, (b) on the day of transmission if sent by facsimile to the facsimile number given below, with written confirmation of receipt, (c) on the day after delivery to Federal Express or similar overnight courier or the Express Mail service maintained by the United States Postal Service, or (d) on the fifth day after mailing, if mailed to the party to whom notice is to be given, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, and properly addressed, return receipt requested, to the party as follows, provided, however, that notice to the Escrow Agent will be deemed give upon receipt by the Escrow Agent:

2015 INCENTIVE PLAN

 

ARTICLE 1 

PURPOSE

 

1.1.        GENERAL. The purpose of the Moody National REIT II, Inc. 2015 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to promote the success, and enhance the value, of Moody National REIT II, Inc. (the “Company”), by linking the personal interests of employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company or any Affiliate (as defined below) to those of Company stockholders and by providing such persons with an incentive for outstanding performance. The Plan is further intended to provide flexibility to the Company in its ability to motivate, attract and retain the services of employees, officers, directors and consultants upon whose judgment, interest and special effort the successful conduct of the Company’s operation is largely dependent. Accordingly, the Plan permits the grant of incentive awards from time to time to selected employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company and its Affiliates.

ADMINISTRATION

ARTICLE 7 

STOCK OPTIONS

 

7.1.        GENERAL. The Committee is authorized to grant Options to Participants on the following terms and conditions:

 

(a)Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share under an Option shall be determined by the Committee, provided that the exercise price for any Option (other than an Option issued as a substitute Award pursuant to Section 11.8) shall not be less than the Fair Market Value as of the Grant Date.

 

(b)Prohibition on Repricing. Except as otherwise provided in Article 12, without the prior approval of stockholders of the Company: (i) the exercise price of an Option may not be reduced, directly or indirectly, (ii) an Option may not be cancelled in exchange for cash, other Awards, or Options with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Option, or otherwise and (iii) the Company may not repurchase an Option for value (in cash or otherwise) from a Participant if the current Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the Option is lower than the exercise price per share of the Option.

 

(c)Time and Conditions of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part, subject to Section 7.1(e), and may include in the Award Certificate a provision that an Option that is otherwise exercisable and has an exercise price that is less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the last day of its term will be automatically exercised on such final date of the term by means of a “net exercise,” thus entitling the optionee to Shares equal to the intrinsic value of the Option on such exercise date, less the number of Shares required for tax withholding. The Committee shall also determine the performance or other conditions, if any, that must be satisfied before all or part of an Option may be exercised or vested.

 

(d)Payment. The Committee shall determine the methods by which the exercise price of an Option may be paid, the form of payment, and the methods by which Shares shall be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants. As determined by the Committee at or after the Grant Date, payment of the exercise price of an Option may be made, in whole or in part, in the form of (i) cash or cash equivalents, (ii) delivery (by either actual delivery or attestation) of previously-acquired Shares based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the Option is exercised, (iii) withholding of Shares from the Option based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the Option is exercised, (iv) broker-assisted market sales, or (iv) any other “cashless exercise” arrangement.

 

(e)Exercise Term. Except for Nonstatutory Options granted to Participants outside the United States, no Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable for more than ten years from the Grant Date.

 

(f)No Deferral Feature. No Option shall provide for any feature for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition of income until the exercise or disposition of the Option.

  

7.2.        INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. The terms of any Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan must comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. Without limiting the foregoing, any Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who at the Grant Date owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of shares of the Company must have an exercise price per Share of not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date and an Option term of not more than five years. If all of the requirements of Section 422 of the Code (including the above) are not met, the Option shall automatically become a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

ARTICLE 8 

RESTRICTED STOCK AND STOCK UNITS

 

8.1.         GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK AND STOCK UNITS. The Committee is authorized to make Awards of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units to Participants in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as may be selected by the Committee. An Award of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units shall be evidenced by an Award Certificate setting forth the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to the Award.

 

8.2.         ISSUANCE AND RESTRICTIONS. Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, for example, limitations on the right to vote Restricted Stock or the right to receive dividends on the Restricted Stock). These restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances, in such installments, upon the satisfaction of performance goals or otherwise, as the Committee determines at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Certificate or any special Plan document governing an Award, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units until such time as Shares of Stock are paid in settlement of such Awards.

 

8.3          DIVIDENDS ON RESTRICTED STOCK. In the case of Restricted Stock, the Committee may provide that ordinary cash dividends declared on the Shares before they are vested will be (i) forfeited, (ii) deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares or otherwise reinvested (subject to Share availability under Section 5.1 hereof), (iii) credited by the Company to an account for the Participant and accumulated without interest until the date upon which the host Award becomes vested, and any dividends accrued with respect to forfeited Restricted Stock will be reconveyed to the Company without further consideration or any act or action by the Participant, or (iv) paid or distributed to the Participant as accrued (in which case, such dividends must be paid or distributed no later than the 15th day of the 3rd month following the later of (A) the calendar year in which the corresponding dividends were paid to stockholders, or (B) the first calendar year in which the Participant’s right to such dividends is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture).

 

8.4.         FORFEITURE. Subject to the terms of the Award Certificate and except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter, upon termination of Continuous Service during the applicable restriction period or upon failure to satisfy a performance goal during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units that are at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited.

 

8.5.         DELIVERY OF RESTRICTED STOCK. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be delivered to the Participant at the Grant Date either by book-entry registration or by delivering to the Participant, or a custodian or escrow agent (including, without limitation, the Company or one or more of its employees) designated by the Committee, a stock certificate or certificates registered in the name of the Participant. If physical certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, such certificates must bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock.

ARTICLE 9 

PERFORMANCE AWARDS

 

9.1.         GRANT OF PERFORMANCE AWARDS. The Committee is authorized to grant any Award under this Plan with performance-based vesting criteria, on such terms and conditions as may be selected by the Committee. Any such Awards with performance-based vesting criteria are referred to herein as Performance Awards. The Committee shall have the complete discretion to determine the number of Performance Awards granted to each Participant, and to designate the provisions of such Performance Awards as provided in Section 4.3. All Performance Awards shall be evidenced by an Award Certificate or a written program established by the Committee, pursuant to which Performance Awards are awarded under the Plan under uniform terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in such written program.

 

9.2.         PERFORMANCE GOALS. The Committee may establish performance goals for Performance Awards which may be based on any criteria selected by the Committee. Such performance goals may be described in terms of Company-wide objectives or in terms of objectives that relate to the performance of the Participant, an Affiliate or a division, region, department or function within the Company or an Affiliate. If the Committee determines that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of the Company or the manner in which the Company or an Affiliate conducts its business, or other events or circumstances render performance goals to be unsuitable, the Committee may modify such performance goals in whole or in part, as the Committee deems appropriate. If a Participant is promoted, demoted or transferred to a different business unit or function during a performance period, the Committee may determine that the performance goals or performance period are no longer appropriate and may (i) adjust, change or eliminate the performance goals or the applicable performance period as it deems appropriate to make such goals and period comparable to the initial goals and period, or (ii) make a cash payment to the participant in an amount determined by the Committee.

 

ARTICLE 10 

STOCK OR OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS

 

10.1.         GRANT OF STOCK OR OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS. The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to Participants such other Awards that are payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to Shares, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, including without limitation Shares awarded purely as a “bonus” and not subject to any restrictions or conditions, convertible or exchangeable debt securities, other rights convertible or exchangeable into Shares, and Awards valued by reference to book value of Shares or the value of securities of or the performance of specified Parents or Subsidiaries. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards.

 

ARTICLE 11 

PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS

 

11.1.         AWARD CERTIFICATES. Each Award shall be evidenced by an Award Certificate. Each Award Certificate shall include such provisions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as may be specified by the Committee.

 

11.2.         FORM OF PAYMENT FOR AWARDS. At the discretion of the Committee, payment of Awards may be made in cash, Stock, a combination of cash and Stock, or any other form of property as the Committee shall determine. In addition, payment of Awards may include such terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations, if any, as the Committee deems appropriate, including, in the case of Awards paid in the form of Stock, restrictions on transfer and forfeiture provisions. Further, payment of Awards may be made in the form of a lump sum, or in installments, as determined by the Committee.

 

- 12 -
 

 

11.3.         LIMITS ON TRANSFER. No right or interest of a Participant in any unexercised or restricted Award may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party other than the Company or an Affiliate, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other party other than the Company or an Affiliate. No unexercised or restricted Award shall be assignable or transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that the Committee may (but need not) permit other transfers (other than transfers for value) where the Committee concludes that such transferability (i) does not result in accelerated taxation, (ii) does not cause any Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option to fail to be described in Code Section 422(b) and (iii) is otherwise appropriate and desirable, taking into account any factors deemed relevant, including without limitation, state or federal tax or securities laws applicable to transferable Awards.

 

11.4.         BENEFICIARIES. Notwithstanding Section 11.3, a Participant may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights under the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Certificate applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Award Certificate otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, any payment due to the Participant shall be made to the Participant’s estate. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant, in the manner provided by the Company, at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Company.

 

11.5.         STOCK TRADING RESTRICTIONS. All Stock issuable under the Plan is subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal or state securities laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place legends on any Stock certificate or issue instructions to the transfer agent to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock.

 

11.6.         ACCELERATION FOR ANY REASON. The Committee may in its sole discretion at any time determine that all or a portion of a Participant’s Options or SARs shall become fully or partially exercisable, that all or a part of the restrictions on all or a portion of a Participant’s outstanding Awards shall lapse, and/or that any performance-based criteria with respect to any Awards held by a Participant shall be deemed to be wholly or partially satisfied, in each case, as of such date as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, declare. The Committee may discriminate among Participants and among Awards granted to a Participant in exercising its discretion pursuant to this Section 11.6.

 

11.7.         FORFEITURE EVENTS. Awards under the Plan shall be subject to any compensation recoupment policy that the Company may adopt from time to time that is applicable by its terms to the Participant. In addition, the Committee may specify in an Award Certificate that the Participant’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events may include, but shall not be limited to, (i) termination of employment for cause, (ii) violation of material Company or Affiliate policies, (iii) breach of noncompetition, confidentiality or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Participant, (iv) other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company or any Affiliate, or (v) a later determination that the vesting of, or amount realized from, a Performance Award was based on materially inaccurate financial statements or any other materially inaccurate performance metric criteria, whether or not the Participant caused or contributed to such material inaccuracy.

 

- 13 -
 

 

11.8.         SUBSTITUTE AWARDS. The Committee may grant Awards under the Plan in substitution for stock and stock-based awards held by employees of another entity who become employees of the Company or an Affiliate as a result of a merger or consolidation of the former employing entity with the Company or an Affiliate or the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of property or stock of the former employing corporation. The Committee may direct that the substitute awards be granted on such terms and conditions as the Committee considers appropriate in the circumstances.

 

ARTICLE 12 

CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE

 

12.1.         MANDATORY ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of a nonreciprocal transaction between the Company and its stockholders that causes the per-share value of the Stock to change (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, rights offering, or large nonrecurring cash dividend), the Committee shall make such adjustments to the Plan and Awards as it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights immediately resulting from such transaction. Action by the Committee may include: (i) adjustment of the number and kind of shares that may be delivered under the Plan; (ii) adjustment of the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards; (iii) adjustment of the exercise price of outstanding Awards or the measure to be used to determine the amount of the benefit payable on an Award; and (iv) any other adjustments that the Committee determines to be equitable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall not make any adjustments to outstanding Options that would constitute a modification or substitution of the stock right under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v) that would be treated as the grant of a new stock right or change in the form of payment for purposes of Code Section 409A. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock (stock-split), a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock into a lesser number of Shares, the authorization limits under Section 5.1 shall automatically be adjusted proportionately, and the Shares then subject to each Award shall automatically, without the necessity for any additional action by the Committee, be adjusted proportionately without any change in the aggregate purchase price therefor.

 

12.2         DISCRETIONARY ADJUSTMENTS. Upon the occurrence or in anticipation of any corporate event or transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any merger, reorganization, recapitalization, combination or exchange of shares, or any transaction described in Section 12.1), the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide (i) that Awards will be settled in cash rather than Stock, (ii) that Awards will become immediately vested and non-forfeitable and exercisable (in whole or in part) and will expire after a designated period of time to the extent not then exercised, (iii) that Awards will be assumed by another party to a transaction or otherwise be equitably converted or substituted in connection with such transaction, (iv) that outstanding Awards may be settled by payment in cash or cash equivalents equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the underlying Stock, as of a specified date associated with the transaction, over the exercise price of the Award, (v) that performance targets and performance periods for Performance Awards will be modified, or (vi) any combination of the foregoing. The Committee’s determination need not be uniform and may be different for different Participants whether or not such Participants are similarly situated.

 

12.3         GENERAL. Any discretionary adjustments made pursuant to this Article 12 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 13.2. To the extent that any adjustments made pursuant to this Article 12 cause Incentive Stock Options to cease to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, such Options shall be deemed to be Nonstatutory Stock Options.

ARTICLE 13 

AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION

 

13.1.      AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION. The Board or the Committee may, at any time and from time to time, amend, modify or terminate the Plan without stockholder approval; provided, however, that if an amendment to the Plan would, in the reasonable opinion of the Board or the Committee, constitute a material change requiring stockholder approval under applicable laws, policies or regulations or the applicable listing or other requirements of an Exchange, then such amendment shall be subject to stockholder approval; and provided, further, that the Board or Committee may condition any other amendment or modification on the approval of stockholders of the Company for any reason, including by reason of such approval being necessary or deemed advisable (i) to comply with the listing or other requirements of an Exchange, or (ii) to satisfy any other tax, securities or other applicable laws, policies or regulations.

 

13.2.      AWARDS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED. At any time and from time to time, the Committee may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award without approval of the Participant; provided, however:

 

(a)Subject to the terms of the applicable Award Certificate, such amendment, modification or termination shall not, without the Participant’s consent, reduce or diminish the value of such Award determined as if the Award had been exercised, vested, cashed in or otherwise settled on the date of such amendment or termination (with the per-share value of an Option for this purpose being calculated as the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value as of the date of such amendment or termination over the exercise price of such Award);

 

(b)The original term of an Option may not be extended without the prior approval of the stockholders of the Company;

 

(c)Except as otherwise provided in Section 12.1, the exercise price of an Option may not be reduced, directly or indirectly, without the prior approval of the stockholders of the Company; and

 

(d)No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the Participant affected thereby. An outstanding Award shall not be deemed to be “adversely affected” by a Plan amendment if such amendment would not reduce or diminish the value of such Award determined as if the Award had been exercised, vested, cashed in or otherwise settled on the date of such amendment (with the per-share value of an Option for this purpose being calculated as the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value as of the date of such amendment over the exercise price of such Award).

 

13.3.      COMPLIANCE AMENDMENTS. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or in any Award Certificate to the contrary, the Board may amend the Plan or an Award Certificate, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the Plan or Award Certificate to any present or future law relating to plans of this or similar nature (including, but not limited to, Section 409A of the Code), and to the administrative regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder. By accepting an Award under this Plan, a Participant agrees to any amendment made pursuant to this Section 13.3 to any Award granted under the Plan without further consideration or action.

ARTICLE 14 

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

14.1.      RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS.

 

(a)No Participant or any Eligible Participant shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan. Neither the Company, its Affiliates nor the Committee is obligated to treat Participants or Eligible Participants uniformly, and determinations made under the Plan may be made by the Committee selectively among Eligible Participants who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards (whether or not such Eligible Participants are similarly situated).

 

(b)Nothing in the Plan, any Award Certificate or any other document or statement made with respect to the Plan, shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate any Participant’s employment or status as an officer, or any Participant’s service as a director or consultant, at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue as an employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company or any Affiliate, whether for the duration of a Participant’s Award or otherwise.

 

(c)Neither an Award nor any benefits arising under this Plan shall constitute an employment contract with the Company or any Affiliate and, accordingly, subject to Article 13, this Plan and the benefits hereunder may be terminated at any time in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Committee without giving rise to any liability on the part of the Company or an of its Affiliates.

 

(d)No Award gives a Participant any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company unless and until Shares are in fact issued to such person in connection with such Award.

 

14.2.      WITHHOLDING. The Company or any Affiliate shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company or such Affiliate, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any exercise, lapse of restriction or other taxable event arising as a result of the Plan. The obligations of the Company under the Plan will be conditioned on such payment or arrangements and the Company or such Affiliate will, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time the Award is granted or thereafter, any such withholding requirement may be satisfied, in whole or in part, by withholding from the Award Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the minimum amount (and not any greater amount) required to be withheld for tax purposes, all in accordance with such procedures as the Committee establishes. All such elections shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.

 

14.3.      SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATED TO SECTION 409A OF THE CODE.

 

(a)General. It is intended that the payments and benefits provided under the Plan and any Award shall either be exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Plan and all Award Certificates shall be construed in a manner that effects such intent. Nevertheless, the tax treatment of the benefits provided under the Plan or any Award is not warranted or guaranteed. Neither the Company, its Affiliates nor their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers (other than in his or her capacity as a Participant) shall be held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by any Participant or other taxpayer as a result of the Plan or any Award.

 

- 16 -
 

 

(b)Definitional Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or in any Award Certificate to the contrary, to the extent that any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code (“Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation”) would otherwise be payable or distributable, or a different form of payment (e.g., lump sum or installment) of such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation would be effected, under the Plan or any Award Certificate by reason of the occurrence of a Change in Control, or the Participant’s Disability or separation from service, such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation will not be payable or distributable to the Participant, and/or such different form of payment will not be effected, by reason of such circumstance unless the circumstances giving rise to such Change in Control, Disability or separation from service meet any description or definition of “change in control event”, “disability” or “separation from service”, as the case may be, in Section 409A of the Code and applicable regulations (without giving effect to any elective provisions that may be available under such definition). This provision does not affect the dollar amount or prohibit the vesting of any Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation upon a Change in Control, Disability or termination of employment, however defined. If this provision prevents the payment or distribution of any Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation, or the application of a different form of payment, such payment or distribution shall be made at the time and in the form that would have applied absent the non-409A-conforming event.

 

(c)Allocation among Possible Exemptions. If any one or more Awards granted under the Plan to a Participant could qualify for any separation pay exemption described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9), but such Awards in the aggregate exceed the dollar limit permitted for the separation pay exemptions, the Company shall determine which Awards or portions thereof will be subject to such exemptions.

 

(d)Six-Month Delay in Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or in any Award Certificate to the contrary, if any amount or benefit that would constitute Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation would otherwise be payable or distributable under this Plan or any Award Certificate by reason of a Participant’s separation from service during a period in which the Participant is a Specified Employee (as defined below), then, subject to any permissible acceleration of payment by the Committee under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii) (domestic relations order), (j)(4)(iii) (conflicts of interest), or (j)(4)(vi) (payment of employment taxes):

 

(i)the amount of such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation that would otherwise be payable during the six-month period immediately following the Participant’s separation from service will be accumulated through and paid or provided on the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s separation from service (or, if the Participant dies during such period, within 30 days after the Participant's death) (in either case, the “Required Delay Period”); and

 

(ii)the normal payment or distribution schedule for any remaining payments or distributions will resume at the end of the Required Delay Period.

 

- 17 -
 

 

For purposes of this Plan, the term “Specified Employee” has the meaning given such term in Code Section 409A and the final regulations thereunder.

 

(e)Installment Payments. If, pursuant to an Award, a Participant is entitled to a series of installment payments, such Participant’s right to the series of installment payments shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and not to a single payment. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term “series of installment payments” has the meaning provided in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) (or any successor thereto).

 

(f)Timing of Release of Claims. Whenever an Award conditions a payment or benefit on the Participant’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims, such release must be executed and all revocation periods shall have expired within 60 days after the date of termination of the Participant’s employment; failing which such payment or benefit shall be forfeited. If such payment or benefit is exempt from Section 409A of the Code, the Company may elect to make or commence payment at any time during such 60-day period. If such payment or benefit constitutes Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation, then, subject to subsection (c) above, (i) if such 60-day period begins and ends in a single calendar year, the Company may make or commence payment at any time during such period at its discretion, and (ii) if such 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in the next calendar year, the payment shall be made or commence during the second such calendar year (or any later date specified for such payment under the applicable Award), even if such signing and non-revocation of the release occur during the first such calendar year included within such 60-day period. In other words, a Participant is not permitted to influence the calendar year of payment based on the timing of signing the release.

 

(g)Permitted Acceleration. The Company shall have the sole authority to make any accelerated distribution permissible under Treas. Reg. section 1.409A-3(j)(4) to Participants of deferred amounts, provided that such distribution(s) meets the requirements of Treas. Reg. section 1.409A-3(j)(4).

 

14.4.      UNFUNDED STATUS OF AWARDS. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Certificate shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate. In its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of grantor trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Shares or payments in lieu of Shares or with respect to Awards. This Plan is not intended to be subject to ERISA.

 

14.5.      RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER BENEFITS. No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or benefit plan of the Company or any Affiliate unless provided otherwise in such other plan. Nothing contained in the Plan will prevent the Company from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

 

14.6.      EXPENSES. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Affiliates.

 

- 18 -
 

 

14.7.      TITLES AND HEADINGS. The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

 

14.8.      GENDER AND NUMBER. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine; the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.

 

14.9.      FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional Shares shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down.

 

14.10.    GOVERNMENT AND OTHER REGULATIONS.

 

(a)Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no Participant who acquires Shares pursuant to the Plan may, during any period of time that such Participant is an affiliate of the Company (within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1933 Act), sell such Shares, unless such offer and sale is made (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, which is current and includes the Shares to be sold, or (ii) pursuant to an appropriate exemption from the registration requirement of the 1933 Act, such as that set forth in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act.

 

(b)Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if at any time the Committee shall determine that the registration, listing or qualification of the Shares covered by an Award upon any Exchange or under any foreign, federal, state or local law or practice, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of such Award or the purchase or receipt of Shares thereunder, no Shares may be purchased, delivered or received pursuant to such Award unless and until such registration, listing, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any condition not acceptable to the Committee. Any Participant receiving or purchasing Shares pursuant to an Award shall make such representations and agreements and furnish such information as the Committee may request to assure compliance with the foregoing or any other applicable legal requirements. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for Shares under the Plan prior to the Committee’s determination that all related requirements have been fulfilled. The Company shall in no event be obligated to register any securities pursuant to the 1933 Act or applicable state or foreign law or to take any other action in order to cause the issuance and delivery of such certificates to comply with any such law, regulation or requirement.

  

14.11.     GOVERNING LAW. To the extent not governed by federal law, the Plan and all Award Certificates shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Maryland.

 

14.12.     SEVERABILITY. In the event that any provision of this Plan is found to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable under any applicable law, such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed as rendering any other provisions contained herein as invalid or unenforceable, and all such other provisions will be given full force and effect to the same extent as though the invalid or unenforceable provision was not contained herein.

 

- 19 -
 

 

14.13.     NO LIMITATIONS ON RIGHTS OF COMPANY. The grant of any Award shall not in any way affect the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassification or changes in its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. The Plan shall not restrict the authority of the Company, for proper corporate purposes, to draft or assume awards, other than under the Plan, to or with respect to any person. If the Committee so directs, the Company may issue or transfer Shares to an Affiliate, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may specify, upon the condition or understanding that the Affiliate will transfer such Shares to a Participant in accordance with the terms of an Award granted to such Participant and specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.

 

The foregoing is hereby acknowledged as being the Moody National REIT II, Inc. 2015 Incentive Plan as adopted by the Board on January 12, 2015 and by the Company’s sole stockholder on January 12, 2015.

ARTICLE 6 

EQUITY COMPENSATION

 

6.1.  INITIAL RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT.  Provided that the Company has raised at least $2,000,000 in gross offering proceeds, on the first date that an Independent Director is initially elected or appointed to the Board, he or she shall receive an award of 5,000 shares of Restricted Stock, subject to share availability under the Incentive Plan and the terms of this Section 6.1.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Independent Director elected or appointed to the Board prior to the date that the Company has raised $2,000,000 in gross offering proceeds (the “Minimum Offering Date”) or the Plan Effective Date, and who remains an Independent Director as of the Minimum Offering Date, shall receive such initial Restricted Stock grant on the Minimum Offering Date. Such shares of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the terms and restrictions described below in Section 6.3 and shall be in addition to any otherwise applicable annual grant of Restricted Stock granted to such Independent Director under Section 6.2.

 

6.2.  SUBSEQUENT RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT.  Subject to share availability under the Incentive Plan and the additional restrictions provided in this Section 6.2, on the date following an Independent Director’s subsequent re-election to the Board at each of the first four annual meetings of stockholders, such director shall receive 2,500 shares of Restricted Stock.  Such shares of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the terms and restrictions described below in Section 6.3.

 

6.3.  TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK.  Shares of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by a written Award Certificate, and shall be subject to such restrictions and risk of forfeiture as determined by the Board, and shall be granted under and pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Plan.  Unless and until provided otherwise by the Board, the Restricted Stock granted pursuant to Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 herein shall vest and become non-forfeitable in approximately equal quarterly installments beginning on the first day of the first quarter following the Grant Date, provided that the Independent Director is providing services to the Company as a director on each such date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting schedule, the shares of Restricted Stock shall become fully vested on the earlier occurrence of: (i) the termination of the Independent Director’s service as a director of the Company due to his or her death or Disability; or (ii) a Change in Control of the Company.  If the Independent Director’s service as a director of the Company terminates other than as described in clause (i) of the foregoing sentence, then the Independent Director shall forfeit all of his or her right, title and interest in and to any unvested shares of Restricted Stock as of the date of such termination from the Board and such Restricted Stock shall be reconveyed to the Company without further consideration or any act or action by the Independent Director.
