Explanatory Note
This Form 8-K/A is filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by LuxUrban Hotels Inc. (the “Company” or “we,” “us,” and similar pronouns) on September 1, 2023 (the “Original Form 8-K”) solely in order to file a corrected Exhibit 4.1 to the Original Form 8-K. Other than such correction, there are no other changes to the Original Form 8-K.
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
The information set forth below in Item 3.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
The Company previously entered into:
● | a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 27, 2022 (the “May Agreement”), between the Company and Greenle Partners LLC Series Alpha P.S. (“Greenle Alpha”); |
● | a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2022, and amended by the letter agreement dated July 15, 2022 and Addendum to Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of August 15, 2022 (as amended, the “June Agreement”), between the Company and Greenle Alpha; |
● | a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2022, and amended by the letter agreement dated October 20, 2022 (as amended, the “September Agreement” and, together with the May Agreement and the June Agreement, the “Purchase Agreements”), between the Company and Greenle Alpha; |
● | a Loan Agreement, dated as of November 23, 2022 (the “Loan Agreement” and collectively with the Purchase Agreements, the “Greenle Agreements”), among the Company, Greenle Alpha and Greenle Partners LLC Series Beta P.S. (“Greenle Beta” and, together with Greenle Alpha, “Greenle”), as supplemented or amended by a letter agreement dated February 17, 2023; |
● | a letter agreement between Greenle and the Company dated February 13, 2023 (the “February 2023 Revenue Share Agreement”), as amended by the Revenue Share Exchange Agreement dated May 21, 2023 (the “May 2023 Letter Agreement”); |
● | a letter agreement between the Company and Greenle dated June 19, 2023 (the “June 2023 Letter Agreement”); and |
● | a letter agreement between the Company and Greenle dated August 15, 2023 (the “August 2023 Letter Agreement” and collectively with the Purchase Agreements, the Greenle Agreements, the February 2023 Revenue Shares Agreement, the May 2023 Letter Agreement and the June 2023 Letter Agreement, the “Agreements”). |
On August 31, 2023, we entered into a further agreement with Greenle (the “Registration Rights Amendment and Warrant Letter Agreement”) to amend the Agreements to waive registration rights for any currently issued common stock for a period of 12 months and any future issuances for a rolling 12 month period from the date such common stock is issued with an outside date of 18 months from the date of the Registration Rights Amendment and Warrant Letter Agreement. As more fully described in the Registration Rights Amendment and Warrant Letter Agreement, Greenle’s obligations thereunder are contingent upon the Company’s ability to access debt or preferred capital under the terms and timing stated therein. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Amendment and Warrant Letter Agreement, the Company extended its existing registration rights obligations such that it is obligated to register the resale by Greenle of (i) the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the February 2023 Revenue Share Agreement, the May 2023 Letter Agreement and the August 2023 Letter Agreement and (ii) the shares of Common Stock underlying all outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Greenle (including the warrants to be issued pursuant to the Registration Rights Amendment and Warrant Letter Agreement) within one year after the date of each respective issuance of Common Stock; provided, however, that, whether or not any such shares of Common Stock have been issued, the Company will use its best efforts to cause all such registration statements to become effective within eighteen months of the date hereof.
As consideration for Greenle’s execution of the Registration Rights Amendment and Warrant Letter Agreement the Company agreed to issue (i) Greenle Alpha a warrant to purchase 1,610,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share and (ii) Greenle Beta a warrant to purchase 390,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share, the form of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 4.1. Subject to certain limitations contained in the Registration Rights Amendment and Warrant Letter Agreement, the Company will have the right to require Greenle to exercise such warrants at a trigger price of $5.00, which would result in proceeds to the Company of $8,000,000.
The foregoing summary of the Registration Rights Amendment and Warrant Letter Agreement is not complete and is qualified by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Amendment and Warrant Letter Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and herein incorporated by reference.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
LuxUrban Hotels Inc.
Initial Exercise Date: August __, 2023 |
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, Greenle Partners LLC Series [____] P.S., or its assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on April 16, 2028 (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from LuxUrban Hotels Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to [ ] shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price.
This Warrant is being issued pursuant to that certain letter agreement dated as of August 31, 2023 among the Holder, the Company and Greenle Partners LLC Series [____] P.S (the “Letter Agreement”). In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Letter Agreement or, if not defined therein, in the September Agreement (as defined in the Letter Agreement).
1. Exercise.
(a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto and within five (5) Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank or, if available, pursuant to the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 1(c) below. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within five (5) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within three (3) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
(b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall initially be $4.00, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
(c) Cashless Exercise. If at any time after the six-month anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date, there is no effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may only be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
A | = | the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise; |
B | = | the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and |
X | = | the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise. |
If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrants being exercised may be tacked on to the holding period of the Warrant Shares. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 1(c).
(d) Mechanics of Exercise.
i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise in compliance with the requirements of this Warrant (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 1(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid.
2
ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 1(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise, including the payment in full of the Exercise Price, pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
vii. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
3
(e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 1(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 1(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 1(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 1(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

2. Certain Adjustments.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
(b) Subsequent Equity Sales. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the “Base Exercise Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Exercise Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 2(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 2(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, exercise price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 2(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Exercise Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Exercise Price in the Notice of Exercise.
5
(c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2(a) and 2(b) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
(d) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
6
(e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 1(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 1(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
(f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 2, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
(g) Notice to Holder.
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 2, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
7
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that, following the closing of the IPO, any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
(h) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(a) through 2(g) above, whenever any event requiring an adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall occur prior to the date on which the Exercise Price or the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be determined pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such adjustment shall be effected upon the determination of the Exercise Price or number of shares, as the case may be, and any notice thereof to the Holder required by Section 2(g) shall thereafter be promptly provided to the Holder pursuant to Section 2(g).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full.

8

All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
(c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
(d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, make usual and customary representations as to investment intent to the Company.
(e) Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
4. Miscellaneous.

(b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
(c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
9
(d) Authorized Shares.
i. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
ii. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
iii. Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
(e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware as they are applied to contracts executed, delivered and to be wholly performed within the State of Delaware.
(f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered and if the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
(g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

Gentlemen:
Reference is made to (i) the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of May 27, 2022 (the “May Agreement”) between LuxUrban Hotels Inc.

Terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreements.
This letter will confirm our understanding and agreement that, in consideration of the respective agreements of the Company, Greenle Alpha and Greenle Beta set forth herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by such parties, the Company, Greenle Alpha and Greenle Beta acknowledge and agree to the provisions set forth below and will consummate the following transactions, subject to, and concurrently with, the consummation by the Company on or prior to October 15, 2023 of an offering (the “Offering”) of non-convertible debt securities or non-convertible preferred stock in which the Company receives gross proceeds of at least $10 million:
(i) | Extension of Securities Act Registration Obligations. The Agreements are hereby amended so that the date by which the Company is obligated to register under an effective registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act the resale from time to time by Greenle Alpha or Greenle Beta of (A) the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the February 2023 Revenue Share Agreement, the May 2023 Letter Agreement and the August 2023 Letter Agreement and (B) the shares of Common Stock underlying all outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Greenle and the warrants to be issued pursuant to paragraph (ii) of this letter agreement, is hereby extended to one year after the date of each respective issuance of Common Stock; provided, however, that, whether or not any such shares of Common Stock have been issued, the Company will use its best efforts to cause all such registration statements to become effective within eighteen months of the date hereof. Subject to the foregoing, Greenle waives any registration rights respect to any obligations owed by the Company pursuant to paragraph (iii) of the February 2023 Revenue Share Agreement. |
(ii) | Issuance of Warrants. Concurrently with the closing of the Offering, the Company shall issue to Greenle Alpha a warrant in substantially the form and on the terms set forth on the form of warrant annexed hereto as Exhibit A (an “Additional Warrant”) to purchase 1,610,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share and shall issue to Greenle Beta an Additional Warrant to purchase 390,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. |
(iii) | Mandatory Exercise of Warrants or Conversion of Notes. At any time after the date on which the registration statement filed pursuant to paragraph (i) above is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company shall have the right to deliver to Greenle Alpha of Greenle Beta a written direction (a “Mandatory Direction”) to exercise outstanding Additional Warrants then held by Greenle Alpha or Greenle Beta, as the case may be, and upon receipt by Greenle Alpha or Greenle Beta, as the case may be, of a Mandatory Direction, such holder of Additional Warrants shall exercise such Additional Warrants, subject to the following terms and conditions: |
2
(a) | The Company may only deliver a Mandatory Direction with respect to an outstanding Additional Warrant if (A) the shares of Common Stock underlying such Additional Warrant are registered for resale by the holder of such Additional Warrant pursuant to an effective registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act, (B) the aggregate dollar volume of the Common Stock sold on the Principal Trading Market over the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date on which the Mandatory Direction is delivered by the Company to Greenle Alpha or Greenle Beta, as the case may be, is at least $3,250,000, (C) the VWAP of the Common Stock on each of the three trading days immediately preceding the date on which the Mandatory Direction is delivered by the Company to Greenle Alpha or Greenle Beta, as the case may be, is at least equal to the Trigger Price (as defined below) for the Additional Warrant to which the Mandatory Direction relates, (D) the Company shall not have furnished to Greenle Alpha or Greenle Beta any material non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that the Company has not subsequently disclosed to the public in a filing with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, (E) trading in securities generally as reported by Bloomberg L.P. shall not have been suspended or limited, or minimum prices shall not have been established on securities whose trades are reported by such service, or on any Trading Market, nor shall a banking moratorium have been declared either by the United States or New York State authorities nor shall there have occurred any material outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity of such magnitude in its effect on, or any material adverse change in, any financial market which, in each case, in the reasonable judgment of Greenle, would make it impracticable or inadvisable to purchase Common Stock pursuant to such Mandatory Direction as such time, (F) no Mandatory Direction shall be applicable to the extent compliance with such Mandatory Direction would cause Greenle Alpha or Greenle Beta, as the case may be, to beneficially own (as determined in accordance with the Exchange Act) in excess of 9.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of this letter agreement, the term “Trigger Price” shall mean $5.00 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and the like), and (G) the Company will not deliver a Mandatory Direction at any time that the Company is in possession of any material non-public information (a “Mandatory Direction Blackout”). Solely for purposes of clause (G), a Mandatory Direction Blackout will be in effect during the last two weeks of every fiscal quarter until the Company has filed a periodic report under the Exchange Act with respect to such fiscal quarter |
3
(b) | Each Mandatory Direction shall (A) set forth the Additional Warrant to which it relates, (B) certify that the shares of Common Stock underlying the Additional Warrant are registered for resale by the recipient of such Mandatory Direction pursuant to an effective registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act, (C) certify that the aggregate dollar volume of the Common Stock sold on the Principal Trading Market over the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date on which the Mandatory Direction is delivered by the Company is at least $3,250,000 and set forth the calculation thereof, and (D) certify that the VWAP of the Common Stock on each of the three trading days immediately preceding the date on which the Mandatory Direction is delivered by the Company is at least equal to the Trigger Price for the Additional Warrant to which the Mandatory Direction relates and set forth the calculation thereof. |
(c) | Upon receipt from the Company of any Mandatory Direction, each of Greenle Alpha or Greenle Beta, as the case may be, shall, (A) within two (2) trading days of receipt of such Mandatory Direction, notify the Company if its beneficial ownership of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Additional Warrants to be exercised would cause such recipient to beneficially own (as determined in accordance with the Exchange Act) in excess of 9.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, in which case the number of underlying shares of Common Stock that are the subject of such Mandatory Direction shall automatically be reduced to the number of shares that, when added to the number of shares beneficially owned by the recipient, would equal 9.9% of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, and (B) within five (5) trading days of receipt of such Mandatory Direction, exercise such Additional Warrant and pay in cash the aggregate exercise price thereof pursuant to the terms of such Additional Warrant. |
(iv) | Restriction on Issuance of Additional Common Stock. Prior to the first anniversary of the date of this letter agreement, without the prior written consent of Greenle Alpha, the Company shall not sell or grant any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), or enter into any agreement to issue or sell, any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Trigger Price (any such issuances, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Trigger Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Trigger Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this paragraph (iv) shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance. For purposes of this letter agreement, the term “Exempt Issuance” shall mean the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or options to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company pursuant to the Company’s existing stock option and/or restricted stock plans or stock option and/or restricted stock plans which come into effect following the date hereof, (b) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities issued hereunder and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock, issued and outstanding on the date of this letter agreement, or pursuant to other agreements of the Company existing prior to the date of this letter agreement, provided that such securities and/or agreements have not been amended since the date of this letter agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities, (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities, and (d) securities issued from time to time in connection with services provided to the Company not to exceed 500,000 shares of Common Stock in a one-year period. |

The Company defines net debt as current and long - term loans payable and short - term financing costs (together, total debt) less cash and cash equivalents . The Company’s management uses these non - GAAP financial metrics and related computations to evaluate and manage the business and to plan and make near and long - term operating and strategic decisions . The management team believes these non - GAAP financial metrics are useful to investors to provide supplemental information in addition to the GAAP financial results . Management reviews the use of its primary key operating metrics from time - to - time . EBITDA, net debt and cash net income are not intended to be a substitute for any GAAP financial measure and as calculated, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry . The Company’s management team believes it is useful to provide investors with the same financial information that it uses internally to make comparisons of historical operating results, identify trends in underlying operating results, and evaluate its business . For purposes of the guidance provided herein for the year ended December 31 , 2023 , however, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort . Non - GAAP measures for future periods, which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measures are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in the Company’s consolidated financial statements . A reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and net income (loss) to Cash net income is included in the financial tables included with this presentation .

LuxUrban Hotels Reiterates Focus on Growth via Non-Dilutive Funding
Supported by Recent Agreement with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts and
Completed Balance Sheet Initiatives
MIAMI, FL, - September 1, 2023 - LuxUrban Hotels Inc. (or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: LUXH), which utilizes an asset-light business model to lease entire hotels on a long-term basis and rent out hotel rooms in these properties in key major metropolitan cities, announced today its commitment to growing the business through non-dilutive funding options. This approach to growth is supported by several factors, including its recent agreement with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the successful completion of balance sheet initiatives that have strengthened the Company’s financial position and enhanced liquidity, and its ability to leverage its improving asset base to secure non-dilutive funding.
Focus on Non-Dilutive Financing to Support Growth
“We believe that we have created a model that offers a clear path to funding our growth through at least the end of 2024 via non-dilutive financing options and significant flexibility with respect to capital allocation,” said Shanoop Kothari, President and Chief Financial Officer. “The cash generative profile we have created for the Company is expected to result in sustainable, free cash flow beginning over the next few quarters driven by our improving business operations, benefits of scale, and the elimination of long-term debt and future payment obligations. In addition to our internal efforts, the capital commitments associated with our collaboration with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts are expected to augment and accelerate our anticipated growth in a non-dilutive manner.”
Agreement with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Provides Non-Dilutive Capital on Existing Portfolio and Future Hotel Properties
As previously announced, the Company entered into an agreement with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts under which the Company’s existing portfolio of hotels and future properties will be added to the Trademark Collection® by Wyndham brand.
Under the agreement, Wyndham will provide the Company with approximately 50% or more of all capital required for new acquisitions based on the Company’s current and historic underwriting guidelines. As the Company opens new hotels on the Wyndham platform, Wyndham will reimburse LuxUrban approximately 50% of the security deposit in the form of “key money” to be used for ongoing working capital, capital improvements, and new hotel acquisitions. This provides LuxUrban with 150% or more of buying power on new hotel openings and delivers capital back into the business as it opens new hotels.
The Company expects to open at least 60% of its current hotels under the Trademark Collection banner by September 30, 2023 with the balance of its properties integrated by the end of the 2023 fourth quarter. This schedule would provide the Company with an estimated additional $7.1 million of non-dilutive growth and working capital through 2023. Any new hotels acquired by the Company and added to the Wyndham platform would be incremental to the estimated $7.1 million with no substantive limitations on growth of the joint portfolio.
Expand Pipeline with Non-Dilutive Capital
The Company continues to organically add high quality hotel assets to its portfolio via long-term Master Lease Agreements and reiterates that it expects to have 2,500-3,000 total short-term stay hotel units operational by December 31, 2023. The Company’s existing property pipeline is robust and actionable, offering the opportunity to accelerate growth beyond its prior expectations through 2024 with the use of non-dilutive capital via its relationship with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts and the exploration of other non-dilutive financing opportunities.
Greenle Partners LLC Agrees to Waive Share Registration Rights on 12-Month Rolling Basis
In addition, Greenle Partners LLC (“Greenle”), the Company’s second largest shareholder, has agreed to waive all registration rights on all prior share issuances, and any new share issuances as they occur, for a minimum of 12 months on a rolling basis from the date of issuance assigned to each tranche of shares eligible for registration. Under the original agreement between the Company and Greenle, the shares covered by this waiver were eligible to be sold at specified dates and amounts ending in 2025.
As previously announced, the shares owned and to be issued to Greenle were acquired in exchange for the elimination of the entirety of $9.8 million of senior secured debt and an estimated $87.5 million in Revenue Share payment obligations. These shares will continue to be subject to a blocker provision which restricts Greenle’s beneficial ownership to 9.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, as well as leak out provisions and certain lockups ending in 2025.
Mr. Ferdinand commented, “In our view, Greenle’s willingness to delay their registration rights reflects both their continuing support of our long-term growth objectives and their belief in our ability to deliver long-term shareholder value.”
LuxUrban Hotels Inc.
LuxUrban Hotels Inc. utilizes an asset light business model to lease entire hotels on a long-term basis and rent out hotel rooms in the properties it leases to business and vacation travelers through the company’s online portal and third-party sales and distribution channels. The company currently manages a portfolio of hotel rooms in New York, Washington D.C., Miami Beach, New Orleans and Los Angeles. As of the date of this release, the company has approximately 1,625 hotel rooms available for rent, and seeks to rapidly build its portfolio on favorable economics through the acquisition of additional accommodations that were dislocated or are underutilized as a result of the pandemic and current economic conditions. In late 2021, the company commenced the process of winding down its legacy business of leasing and re-leasing multifamily residential units, as it pivoted toward its new strategy of leasing hotels. This transition has been substantially completed.
