* As a result of the Merger with RLJ (as such terms are defined and described in Item 4), the Reporting Persons own approximately 2% of the outstanding shares of RLJ and no longer beneficially own any shares of the Issuer.

 

 

The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 1”). This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On August 31, 2017, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 23, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership (“FelCor LP”), RLJ Lodging Trust (“RLJ”), RLJ Lodging Trust, L.P. (“RLJ LP”), Rangers Sub I, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of RLJ LP (“REIT Merger Sub”), and Rangers Sub II, LP, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RLJ LP (“Partnership Merger Sub”), Partnership Merger Sub merged with and into FelCor LP, with FelCor LP surviving as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RLJ LP (the “Partnership Merger”), and FelCor merged with and into REIT Merger Sub surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of RLJ LP (the “REIT Merger” and together with the Partnership Merger, the “Merger”). Effective as of the close of business on August 31, 2017, each Share owned by the Reporting Persons was converted into 0.362 shares of common stock of RLJ pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, as a result of the Merger, the Reporting Persons own less than 5% of the outstanding shares of RLJ and no longer beneficially own any securities of the Issuer.

 

As an approximate 2% shareholder of RLJ, the Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in RLJ on a continuing basis and may take certain actions with respect to their investment in RLJ as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, continuing to engage in communications with management and the Board of Directors of RLJ (the “Board”), engaging in discussions with shareholders of RLJ or other third parties about RLJ and the Reporting Persons’ investment, including the Reporting Persons’ concerns with the current direction of RLJ and their recommendations for driving shareholder value. The Reporting Persons are concerned with RLJ’s ability to unlock shareholder value given its poor track record of total shareholder returns and RLJ management team’s lack of meaningful engagement with the Reporting Persons since the announcement of the Merger. The Reporting Persons believe RLJ should immediately outline to shareholders why the value creation opportunity from RLJ’s combination with the Issuer is superior to the all-cash offer RLJ rejected at approximately 25% above RLJ’s current share price and that RLJ should simultaneously run a process to evaluate strategic alternatives.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Items 5(a) – (e) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

(a) – (b) Effective as of the close of business on August 31, 2017, as a result of the Merger, each Share owned by the Reporting Persons was converted into 0.362 shares of common stock of RLJ pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own any securities of the Issuer.

(c) The transactions in the Shares by the Reporting Persons during the past sixty (60) days are set forth in Schedule A and are incorporated herein by reference.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) As of the close of business on August 31, 2017, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Shares of the Issuer.

SIGNATURES

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of his knowledge and belief, the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
