Conversion Expenses
In the fourth quarter of 2012, we decided to convert eight Holiday Inn hotels to the Wyndham Hotels & Resorts brand and management effective March 1, 2013.  The expenses incurred related to converting these hotels have been classified as conversion expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 included $30.7 million of accrued IHG termination fees, which were paid in the first quarter of 2013, while $1.1 million was incurred in 2013 for additional costs related to the conversion to the Wyndham brand.
