IBC RECEIVABLE | 22. IBC RECEIVABLE In the process of ownership and management of branded and unbranded hotels, IHT recognized an unfulfilled need to provide hotel reservations, branding, and hotel services for global independent hotels, which at the time and still represent half the hotels in the world. In February 2014, IHT founded IBC Hotels, LLC to explore this unfulfilled opportunity, developing reservations, branding, and related hotel services doing business as “InnDependent Boutique Collection “(IBC Hotels). Initial success in providing reservations for an IHT operated independent hotel was substantial. As this independent hotel services opportunity and the size of this potential demand was increasingly recognized in the travel industry, IBC Hotels was sold in August 2018 to a foreign hotel company planning expansion of independent hotel reservations and services internationally. The new owner added additional hotels to the reservation system, further developed, updated, and improved existing software, and pursued an agreement with a large international internet hotel guest source. When Covid hit in early 2020 and travel virtually briefly, but almost completely came to a standstill in March 2020, the new owner was not in a position to continue operations pausing IBC Hotels reservation services. On March 5, 2025, REF , an investment entity owned by the chairman and family of IHT majority IHT shareholder, purchased IBC Hotels, LLC, and hired RRF LLLP, the management company subsidiary of InnSuites Hospitality Trust (IHT), to manage the rebirth of IBC, to benefit from the substantial unfulfilled need worldwide for independent hotel and resort reservations, Boutique branding, and related hotel services. In the process, RRF LLLP, a 76% owned subsidiary of IHT and manager of IHT hotels, was engaged as manager of IBC obtaining a five-year option to purchase, at cost, IBC Hotels, LLC . This option is believed to provide IHT a valuable opportunity, if successful, to profit from the revitalization of InnDependent Boutique Collection (IBC Hotels). Covid had profound initial adverse effects on the travel industry, with reservation companies consolidating to two primary international reservation providers. With travel now having rebounded quickly and strongly these two large reservation providers each hold multibillion-dollar valuations concentrating primarily on branded hotels. In the process, independents still representing half the world’s hotels continue operation with an unfulfilled need offering significant opportunity to a provider of independent hotel reservations, boutique hotel branding, and hotel services focused on independent hotels. IHT is now in a position to benefit from this global profit opportunity through its management subsidiary, obtaining a management contract to operate IBC Hotels, LLC, and also obtaining a five-year option to purchase, at cost, IBC Hotels, LLC.
