John Paulson is the controlling person of Paulson. All Paired Shares reported on this Form 4 are owned by the Paired Share Funds. Each of Paulson and John Paulson may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the securities directly owned by the Paired Share Funds. Pursuant to Rule 16a-1(a)(4) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), the filing of this Form 4 shall not be deemed an admission by any person reporting on this Form 4 that such person, for purposes of Section 16 of the Act or otherwise, is the beneficial owner of any equity securities covered by this Form.
Each Paired Share is comprised of one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Extended Stay America, Inc. and one share of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of ESH Hospitality, Inc., which shares are paired and traded as a single unit. A Form 4 reflecting the holdings of Paired Shares by the Reporting Person shown on this Form 4 has been concurrently filed with respect to Extended Stay America, Inc. as issuer.
In connection with the secondary offering of Paired Shares by certain selling shareholders pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") and prospectus supplement, each dated September 29, 2016 (the "Secondary Offering"), the Reporting Person, as a selling shareholder, sold Paired Shares in the amounts shown in the above table. The secondary offering closed on October 4, 2016. This amount represents the $14.25 price to public per Paired Share, less the underwriting discount of $0.09 per Paired Share.
Concurrent with the closing of the Secondary Offering, Extended Stay America, Inc. and ESH Hospitality, Inc. repurchased 650,000 Paired Shares from the Reporting Person at a price of $14.16 per Paired Share.
