Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (the “Company”), and its subsidiary, FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership (“FelCor LP”), entered into a Purchase Agreement, dated October 19, 2006, under which FelCor LP agreed to sell $215 million aggregate principal amount of its senior floating rate notes due 2011 (the “Notes”) to the initial purchasers named in the Purchase Agreement (the “Initial Purchasers”). The Notes are being offered by the Initial Purchasers to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to persons outside the United States under Regulation S of the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. The closing of the Purchase Agreement is expected to occur on October 31, 2006, and is subject to standard conditions to closing. The Initial Purchasers will purchase the Notes from FelCor LP at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest if any. The Notes will mature on December 1, 2011. The proceeds of the sale of the Notes, cash on hand and borrowings under an existing line of credit, to the extent necessary, will be used to fund FelCor LP’s offer to purchase all of its $290 million aggregate principal amount floating rate unsecured senior notes due 2011.

The Notes will be senior obligations of FelCor LP and will be guaranteed by the Company and each of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) that guarantees any of FelCor LP’s other debt ranking equally or subordinate in right of payment to the Notes. The Notes will be governed by an Indenture, to be executed at closing, between the Company, FelCor LP, the Subsidiary Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee. The Notes will be secured by a pledge of the limited partner interests in FelCor LP owned directly or indirectly by the Company and will not be secured by any other assets of the Company or FelCor LP.

For Immediate Release:

 

FELCOR COMMENCES TENDER OFFERS FOR ITS

SENIOR FLOATING RATE NOTES DUE 2011

AND 7 5/8% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2007

 

IRVING, Texas...October 17, 2006 FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (NYSE: FCH), one of the nation’s largest hotel real estate investment trusts (REITs), and its subsidiary FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership (FelCor LP), today announced that on October 16, 2006 FelCor LP commenced cash tender offers for all of its $290 million aggregate principal amount of senior floating rate notes due 2011 (Cusip No. 3143Q AS 6), which bear interest at LIBOR plus 4.25% per annum (currently 9.57031%), and all of its $125 million aggregate principal amount of 7 5/8% senior notes due 2007 (Cusip No. 313917AF3). In connection with the tender offers, FelCor LP is also soliciting consents to proposed amendments to the indentures governing the notes which will eliminate certain covenants and events of default. Holders tendering their notes will be required to consent to the proposed amendments. Each tender offer is conditioned upon the valid tender of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of notes tendered on or prior to the consent payment deadline and other specified conditions.

 

Tendering holders who validly tender their senior floating rate notes and validly deliver their consents by the consent payment deadline, which is October 30, 2006, will receive the total consideration of $1,022.73, per $1,000 principal amount. The total consideration includes a consent payment of $20.00 per $1,000 principal amount. Holders who validly tender their senior floating rate notes and validly deliver their consents after the consent payment deadline and on or prior to the expiration of the tender offer on November 14, 2006, will only receive the tender consideration of $1,002.73 per $1,000 principal amount and will not receive the consent payment. FelCor intends to fund the tender offer for the senior floating rate notes with proceeds from the potential issuance of senior debt in a private placement, cash on hand and borrowings under an existing line of credit, to the extent necessary. The closing of the private placement is a condition to the tender offer for the senior floating rate notes due 2011.

 

The consent payment deadline will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 30, 2006, and the tender offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 14, 2006, in each case unless extended or earlier terminated by the Company. Following the consent payment deadline, tenders of senior floating rate notes due 2011 and delivery of consents will be irrevocable, except as required by law.

 

The terms and conditions of the offer to purchase and consent solicitation for the senior floating rate notes due 2011, including FelCor LP’s obligation to accept the notes tendered and pay the purchase price therefor, are set forth in FelCor LP’s Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated October 16, 2006.
