DoubleTree Portfolio

On March 8, 2022, the REIT began the marketing process to sell its DoubleTree Portfolio. As of March 31, 2023, the REIT has sold the Beaverton, Vancouver, and Bend properties for a combined purchase price of US$67.5 million. The REIT had executed purchase and sale agreements on the Tigard property for a purchase price of US$24.5 million. However, the buyer defaulted on the agreement and relinquished the escrow to the REIT. The REIT is still actively marketing the Tigard property and hopes to complete the sale of the property before year end. Additionally, the REIT has executed a purchase and sale agreement on the Olympia property for a purchase price of US$12.75 million and closed on the transaction on June 29, 2023. The REIT used the proceeds from the Beaverton, Bend, and Vancouver sales to pay off the DT Portfolio debt. The proceeds from the remaining sales will be used to pay down other outstanding debt the REIT holds.

HIX Nashville Portfolio

On February 6, 2023, the REIT entered into an agreement with a broker to actively start marketing the Holiday Inn Express Nashville property (the "Tennessee Property"). As previously disclosed, on August 11, 2023, the REIT's subsidiary NHT Nashville, LLC, entered into an agreement for purchase and sale of real property with NF V Acquisitions, LLC for the sale of the Tennessee Property for a purchase price of US$120 million. Proceeds of the transaction will be used to repay indebtedness related to the Tennessee Property and to potentially fund future acquisitions of real property.

Deferred Units

The REIT announced today the planned issuance of deferred units (the "Deferred Units") to certain independent trustees of the REIT, pursuant to the REIT's existing deferred unit plan (the "Deferred Unit Plan"). The Deferred Units will be granted in respect of accrued trustee fees up to the end of Q2 2023, in the aggregate amount of US$323,917. The Deferred Units will be granted and priced based upon the five-day volume-weighted average price of the REIT's units beginning on the first trading day after the issuance of this press release. Since the grant of Deferred Units will exceed the insider participation limits under the Deferred Unit Plan, the grant will be subject to the adoption of an amended and restated deferred unit plan,  which will be subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") and an affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by disinterested unitholders of the REIT, excluding the votes cast by such unitholders that are required to be excluded pursuant to TSXV Policy 4.4 – Security Based Compensation at the REIT's upcoming annual and special meeting of unitholders (the "Meeting"). Additionally, the grant of Deferred Units will be subject to ratification by unitholders at the Meeting.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

FFO and AFFO are key measures of performance commonly used by real estate operating companies and real estate investment trusts. They are not measures recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS.
