Sale of Ownership Interests in Tucson Saint Mary's Suite Hospitality	7. SALE OF OWNERSHIP INTERESTS IN TUCSON SAINT MARY’S SUITE HOSPITALITY On April 24, 2015, the Trust and the Partnership entered into a restructuring agreement with Rare Earth to allow for the sale of non-controlling interest units for $10,000 per unit in the Tucson St. Mary’s entity for $10,000 per unit, which operated one of the Tucson, Arizona hotel properties, then wholly-owned by the Partnership. Under the agreement, the Partnership agreed to either purchase or bring in other investors to purchase up to 350 units, which represents approximately 50.07% of the outstanding partnership units, on a post-transaction basis, and the parties agreed to restructure the limited liability agreement of the Tucson St. Mary’s entity. The Board of Trustees approved this restructuring on April 24, 2015. Under the restructured limited liability agreement, the Partnership was confirmed as the Administrative Member of the Tucson St. Mary’s entity but Rare Earth could be elected in the future as Administrative Member without consent of the Partnership. All membership interests are entitled to receive priority distributions annually of $700 per $10,000 interest from May 15, 2015 through April 20, 2020. Priority distributions will be paid first to Class A interests, second to Class B interests, third to Class C interests and are cumulative. After April 30, 2020, all membership interests will be entitled to annual distributions of $700 per $10,000 interest, which will be cumulative. Subject to shareholder approval, the holders of Class A units may convert all of part of their investment at any time up to January 31, 2018 into 2,857 Shares of Beneficial Interest for each $10,000 interest subject to shareholder approval and other required approvals (“conversion feature”). Thereafter each $10,000 interest is convertible into 2,500 Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust. On May 30, 2015, the restructuring agreement was amended to clarify the requirement that the shareholders must approve the conversion feature which is not perfunctory. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016, there were 64 Class A units sold and 100 Class C units sold of the Tucson St. Mary’s entity for total proceeds of $640,000 attributable to Class A units sold and $1,000,000 attributable to Class C units sold. On October 14, 2015, the Trust sold its Tucson St. Mary’s hotel to an unrelated third party for approximately $9.7 million, which the Trust received approximately $4.6 million in cash. The Trust used $4.7 million of the proceeds to satisfy its mortgage note payable on the property, approximately $379,000 to reduce accruals and payables, and retained the remaining proceeds to fund future operations and capital improvements. The Trust recognized a gain on the sale of property in the amount of approximately $2.4 million for the year ended January 31, 2016. As of January 31, 2016, the Partnership held a 100% ownership interest, or 88.5 Class B units, in the Tucson St. Mary’s entity.
