Commitments and Contingencies |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note 7 — Commitments and Contingencies Pending Hotel Property Acquisition We have a purchase agreement with a hotel property developer to acquire a Hampton Inn & Suites in downtown Minneapolis, MN for $38.7 million, which price includes change orders to date. The purchase is subject to certain conditions including the completion of construction of the hotel in accordance with agreed upon architectural and engineering designs, receipt of a Hampton Inn & Suites franchise, and receipt of a certificate of occupancy. As this acquisition is contingent upon the satisfaction of these customary closing conditions, there is no assurance that it will be completed. Departure of Executive Officer As previously reported, at the end of May 2014, Stuart J. Becker resigned from his position as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company. On June 16, 2014, in connection with Mr. Becker’s resignation, the Company entered into a severance and release agreement with Mr. Becker (the “Agreement”). The Agreement became effective on June 19, 2014 and provides for Mr. Becker’s resignation effective as of May 27, 2014. The Agreement also provides for the following: (i) a release by Mr. Becker of all claims against the Company, its affiliates and other parties; (ii) a covenant by Mr. Becker not to solicit the Company’s employees for employment for a period of one year, and confidentiality and non-disparagement covenants; (iii) a severance payment to Mr. Becker in the gross amount of $348,289 (equal to Mr. Becker’s 2013 base salary plus payment for all accrued and unused vacation), less applicable payroll deductions, all of which was paid in a single lump sum in July 2014; (iv) payment to Mr. Becker for up to twelve months of COBRA premiums; and (v) accelerated vesting of all restricted shares of common stock and options previously awarded to Mr. Becker. Litigation We are involved from time to time in litigation arising in the ordinary course of business; however, there are currently no actions pending against us that we believe would have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
