Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 19, 2015, Chesapeake Lodging Trust (the "Trust") announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the 393-room James Royal Palm located in Miami Beach, Florida for a purchase price of $278.0 million from an unaffiliated third party. The Trust expects the acquisition to close in the first quarter of 2015, subject to customary closing conditions, but can give no assurance that the acquisition will be consummated during that time period, or at all.
Certain statements and assumptions in this filing contain or are based upon “forward-looking” information and are being made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. When the Trust uses the words “will likely result,” “may,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “should,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” or similar expressions, the Trust intends to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the Trust’s expectations as to the time for completing, if at all, the acquisition described. Such statements are subject to numerous assumptions and uncertainties, many of which are outside Trust’s control. The Trust undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events or circumstances, except as required by law.
Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 19, 2015, the Trust issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference herein.
