Non-controlling Interests in Operating Partnership

Pursuant to the limited partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership, the unaffiliated third parties who hold Common Units in our Operating Partnership have the right to cause us to redeem their Common Units in exchange for cash based upon the fair value of an equivalent number of our shares of Common Stock at the time of redemption; however, the Company has the option to redeem Common Units with shares of our Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. The number of shares of our Common Stock issuable upon redemption of Common Units may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events such as share dividend payments, share subdivisions or combinations. On January 13, 2022 and March 23, 2022, in connection with the NCI Transaction, the Operating Partnership issued 15,864,674 Common Units as partial consideration for the purchase.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, NewcrestImage and other unaffiliated third parties owned 15,989,471 and 124,797 of Common Units of the Operating Partnership, respectively, representing approximately 13% and less than 1% of the Common Units of the Operating Partnership for each period.
 
We classify outstanding Common Units held by unaffiliated third parties as non-controlling interests in the Operating Partnership, a component of equity in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The portion of net income (loss) allocated to these Common Units is included on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as Net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests.

Non-controlling Interests in Joint Ventures

At June 30, 2022, the Company is a partner with a majority equity interest in two joint ventures as described below. We classify the non-controlling interests in our joint ventures as a component of equity in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The portion of net income (losses) allocated to these non-controlling interests is included on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as Net income (losses) attributable to non-controlling interests.

GIC Joint Venture

In July 2019, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with GIC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, to acquire assets that align with the Company’s current investment strategy and criteria. The Company serves as general partner and asset manager of the GIC Joint Venture and intends to invest 51% of the equity capitalization of the limited partnership, with GIC investing the remaining 49%. The Company earns fees for providing services to the GIC Joint Venture and will have the potential to earn incentive fees based on the GIC Joint Venture achieving certain return thresholds. As of June 30, 2022, the GIC Joint Venture owns the 39 hotel properties containing 5,414 guestrooms in nine states.

The GIC Joint Venture owns the hotel properties through master real estate investment trusts (“Master REIT”) and subsidiary REITs (“Subsidiary REIT”). All of the hotel properties owned by the GIC Joint Venture are leased to taxable REIT subsidiaries of the Subsidiary REITs (“Subsidiary REIT TRSs”). To qualify as a REIT, the Master REIT and each Subsidiary REIT must meet all of the REIT requirements provided in the the Internal Revenue Code. Taxable income related to the Subsidiary REIT TRSs is subject to federal, state and local income taxes at applicable tax rates.

In June 2022, the Company entered into the Brickell Joint Venture to facilitate the exercise of the Initial Purchase Option to acquire a 90% equity interest in the AC/Element Hotel. Our joint venture partner, C-F Brickell, owns the remaining 10% equity interest in the Brickell Joint Venture. The Company has an option to purchase the remaining 10% equity interest in the Brickell Joint Venture from C-F Brickell in December 2026 pursuant to the exercise of the Second Purchase Option at its market value on the exercise date. The Company serves as the managing member of the Brickell Joint Venture.

Redeemable Non-controlling Interests

In connection with the NCI Transaction, Summit Hotel GP, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, on its own behalf as general partner of the Operating Partnership and on behalf of the limited partners of the Operating Partnership, on January 13, 2022, entered into the Tenth Amendment (the “Tenth Amendment”) to the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, to provide for the issuance of up to 2,000,000 Series Z Preferred Units. The Series Z Preferred Units rank on a parity with the Operating
Partnership’s Series E and Series F Preferred Units and holders will receive quarterly distributions at a rate of 5.25% per year. From issuance until the tenth anniversary of their issuance, the Series Z Preferred Units will be redeemable at the holder’s request at any time, or in connection with a change of control of the Company, for, at the Company’s election, cash or shares of the Company’s 5.25% Series Z Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (which will be designated and authorized following notice of redemption by holder of the Series Z Preferred Units) on a one-for-one basis. After the fifth anniversary of their issuance, the Company may redeem the Series Z Preferred Units for cash at a redemption amount of $25 per unit. For a 90-day period immediately following both the tenth and the eleventh anniversaries of their issuance or in connection with a change of control of the Company, the Series Z Preferred Units will be redeemable at the holder’s request for cash at a redemption amount of $25 per unit. On January 13, 2022 and March 23, 2022, in connection with the NCI Transaction, the Operating Partnership issued 2,000,000 Series Z Preferred Units as partial consideration for the purchase.
