On October 7, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire an upscale, full-service hotel and adjacent commercial real estate and land parcel in the Boston, Massachusetts region for $261.0 million from an unaffiliated third party. The Company expects to fund the purchase price with available cash and borrowings on its unsecured credit facility. The closing is expected to occur before the end of 2014, however, because the acquisition is subject to customary closing requirements and conditions, the Company can give no assurance that the transaction will be consummated during that time period or at all.
On October 16, 2014, the Company amended and restated the credit agreement governing its unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan facility. As amended, the agreement provides for a $300.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility and a $300.0 million unsecured term loan facility. The unsecured revolving credit facility matures in January 2019 with options to extend the maturity date to January 2020 and the unsecured term loan facility matures in January 2020. In connection with entering into the amended and restated credit agreement, the prior notes evidencing the Company’s outstanding term loan were canceled and new notes evidencing the term loan were entered into, in effect extending the maturity date of the Company’s $100.0 million term loan to January 2020.  The amended and restated credit agreement provides for a 180-day option to borrow an additional $200.0 million under the unsecured term loan facility. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.55% to 2.3% and LIBOR plus 1.50% to 2.25%, respectively, depending on the Company's leverage ratio. Additionally, the Company is required to pay an unused commitment fee at an annual rate of 0.20% to 0.30% of the unused portion of the credit facility.
