HOLLOWAY LODGING CORP. ANNOUNCES SALE OF TRAVELODGE® HOTEL IN TORONTO, ON
Halifax, NS - Holloway Lodging Corporation (TSX: HLC, HLC.DB, HLC.DB.A) ("Holloway")
is pleased to announce that it has sold the Travelodge® hotel located in Toronto, ON.
The sale price for the hotel was $13.0 million representing a cap rate of approximately 2.6%. Holloway estimates that it will record a gain on sale of $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2015 and does not anticipate paying any tax on the sale of this property. Holloway intends to deploy the sale proceeds to debt reduction and new hotel acquisitions.
Michael Rapps, Chairman of Holloway, stated "We acquired the Toronto property through our acquisition of Royal Host and it generates a minimal amount of cash flow. Selling this property at a 2.6% cap rate and using the proceeds to repay higher-cost debt or acquire new hotel properties at higher cap rates (such as the Days Inn® Whitehorse announced earlier this week) is immediately accretive to shareholders on a cash flow basis." Mr. Rapps added "Since acquiring Royal Host we have sold two hotels that generated aggregate asset-level cash flow of approximately $315 thousand or 2% of Royal Host's total asset-level cash flow in 2014. We received gross sale proceeds of approximately $17 million from these asset sales representing approximately 11% of Royal Host's enterprise value at acquisition, so this has been a very good result to date."
