See Item 5 below. Based on 31,776,515 shares of Issuer’s common stock deemed to be outstanding as of March 2, 2017 (after giving effect to Issuer’s reported underwritten public offering and  sale on March 2, 2017 of 5,750,000 shares common stock), Reporting Persons may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of less than 2% of the outstanding shares of Issuer's common stock. As of February 24, 2017, Issuer had 26,026,515 shares of common stock outstanding as reported in its Form 10-K as filed with the Commission on February 28, 2017.

Weisman Group is an association of investors and private companies formed in order to seek a more effective means of maximizing the value of the investments of its Members in the Shares of Ashford Hospitality Prime, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company” or “AHP”). Weisman Capital Group is a private company and member of Weisman Group. Lyle Weisman is a developer, owner and manager of commercial and residential real estate, Daniel Weisman is the son of Lyle Weisman and is a private real estate investor, Joseph Malka is a private real estate investor. Messrs. Lyle Weisman, Daniel Weisman and Joseph Malka are managers of Weisman Group. Lyle Weisman and Joseph Malka are managers of Weisman Capital Group. AHP Holdings, LLC, a California limited liability company holds shares in AHP as an investment, and Joel Aaronson is an attorney and private investor. As set forth below, based on the actions described herein, as of February 28, 2017 each of the Reporting Persons had ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Shares.

 

This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements and represents the Final Amendment to the Schedule 13D filed on April 21, 2016 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Schedule 13D”).  Item 4 and Item 5 of the statement on Schedule 13D relating to the Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Shares”) of AHP previously filed by the Weisman Group (who collectively are referred to as the “Reporting Persons”), are hereby amended as follows:

   

 

 

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

 

As of February 28, 2017, the Reporting Persons had elected to disband as a group, relinquishing voting rights and dispositive rights acquired, and as a result no longer maintain beneficial ownership, or voting power or investment power over more than 5% of the equity securities of Issuer.

 

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

 

The percentages used in this Item and in the rest of the Schedule 13D are calculated based upon an aggregate of 31,776,515 shares outstanding as March 2, 2017, as reported in Issuer’s Prospectus Supplement filed with the Commission on March 1, 2017.

 

As of February 28, 2017, the Reporting Person had elected to disband and no longer act as group, relinquishing voting rights and dispositive rights acquired. The Reporting Persons, individually and collectively, have accordingly ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Issuer’s common stock and as a result this Amendment constitutes an exit filing for the Reporting Persons.
