| Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
The aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock reported herein, all of which were purchased and are held by RCP, was approximately $2,852,734.86. All funds used to acquire the shares of Common Stock were provided by the working capital of RCP (from funds under management). No borrowed funds were used to purchase the shares of Common Stock. | |
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
The Reporting Persons acquired the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock reported herein and shares of the Issuer's Preferred Stock for investment purposes in the ordinary course of business prior to December 31, 2024. The Reporting Persons acquired such securities because they believed that such securities, when purchased, represented an attractive long-term investment opportunity. On October 24, 2025, the Issuer, KW Kingfisher LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Parent"), and Sparrows Nest LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"). The Merger Agreement provides, upon the terms and subject to the conditions se
t forth therein, for a merger (the "Merger") between Merger Sub and the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent and the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock converting into the right to receive a specified cash payment and the shares of the Issuer's Preferred Stock either converting into the right to receive a specified cash payment or remaining outstanding following the Merger. The Reporting Persons believe that the net value of the Issuer's property portfolio, if operated in a private context, is greater than the announced merger consideration. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons plan to explore potential alternatives to the Merger, which may include formulating an alternative acquisition proposal (either alone or in partnership with another hotel investor group(s)) and/or initiating discussions with other potential acquirers of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons may also seek to have discussions with officers and directors of the Issuer or Parent, and/or with other significant stockholders of the Issuer, relating to the Merger and potential alternatives to the Merger. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis, taking into account the Merger Agreement. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer's financial position, the terms of the Merger Agreement, a potential superior offer, the market price levels of the Issuer's equity securities, conditions in the securities markets, and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Reporting Persons do not have any present plans or proposals which would relate to, or result in, the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. However, subject to market conditions and in compliance with applicable securities laws, the Reporting Persons reserve the right, at a later date, to take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation: exchanging information with the Issuer, Parent or other third parties; proposing changes in the Issuer's operations, management, board of directors, governance or capitalization; acquiring additional securities of the Issuer or disposing of some or all of the securities beneficially owned by them, in public or private transactions; submitting a competing proposal either alone or in combination with one or more other strategic partners or encouraging others to do so; or otherwise changing the Reporting Persons' intentions with respect to any and all matters referred to in this Item 4. | |
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
