Condor Hospitality Trust Completes Redemption of Series A and B Preferred Stock

NORFOLK, NE--(Marketwired - April 18, 2016) - Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDOR) (the "Company"), a hotel-focused real estate investment trust (REIT), today announced that on Friday, April 15, 2016, it completed the cash redemption of all of its outstanding shares of 8% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock (NASDAQ: CDORP) (CUSIP No. 20676Y205) and 10% Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock (NASDAQ: CDORO) (CUSIP No. 20676Y304), including all accrued and unpaid dividends.

The aggregate redemption price was approximately $20.1 million, an amount that was funded using proceeds from the Company's previously announced $30.0 million private placement transaction with StepStone Real Estate, an affiliate of the StepStone Group. 

"The completion of the redemption of the Series A and B preferred stock, combined with the conversion of the former Series C preferred stock into the new Series D preferred shares created for the conversion and the StepStone investment, results in a greatly simplified capital structure now with only one class of preferred stock that automatically converts into Condor common stock upon a qualified equity offering," said Bill Blackham, Condor's Chief Executive Officer. "Until that occurs, the preferred dividend rate is 6.25% which is considerably lower than the 8% and 10% preferred dividend rate on the former Series A and Series B preferred shares."
