Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Acquisition of Embassy Suites Hotel

 

On February 24, 2005, EHP Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), of which Eagle Hospitality Properties Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) is the general partner, acquired the Embassy Suites Hotel Phoenix-Scottsdale for a cash purchase price of $33 million. The Operating Partnership used the net proceeds from a $22.1 million mortgage loan (as described below under “US Bank Loan”) and existing cash to finance this acquisition. The acquisition closed after the expiration on February 18, 2005 of the Operating Partnership’s due diligence period under the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, dated as of December 29, 2004, between the Operating Partnership and UP Stonecreek, Inc. The Operating Partnership’s $750,000 escrow deposit, which became non-refundable upon expiration of the due diligence period, was applied to the purchase price at closing. This hotel will be managed by Commonwealth Hotels, Inc.

 

$81.8 Million Secured Financing

 

On February 18, 2005, certain subsidiaries of the Company borrowed $81.8 million from the Prudential Insurance Company of America. The five-year, non-recourse financing involves both a fixed-rate and floating-rate component with $54.8 million fixed at a 5.43% interest rate and the remainder having a variable interest rate 175 basis points over 30-day LIBOR. Approximately $68 million of the proceeds have been used to retire existing floating-rate debt with an average interest rate of approximately 285 basis points over 30-day LIBOR. Unlike the debt retired, there is no principal amortization in the initial 12 months of the loan. The loan is secured by the Embassy Suites Hotel Tampa-Airport/Westshore located in Tampa, Florida, the Embassy Suites Cleveland/Rockside located in Cleveland, Ohio, and the Cincinnati Landmark Marriott located in Covington, Kentucky.

 

US Bank Loan

 

In connection with its acquisition of the Embassy Suites Hotel Phoenix-Scottsdale, the Operating Partnership finalized a $22.1 million three-year, full recourse loan having an interest rate of 215 basis points over 30-day LIBOR that is collateralized by the Embassy Suites Phoenix-Scottsdale. During the initial two years of the loan, there is no principal amortization. As discussed above, the proceeds of this loan were used to pay a portion of the purchase price to acquire the Embassy Suites Hotel Phoenix-Scottsdale.
