HALIFAX, March 7, 2019 /CNW/ - Holloway Lodging Corporation
(TSX: HLC) (TSX: HLC.DB) ("Holloway") is pleased to announce that it has sold the Days Inn® and
Travelodge® hotels located in Moncton, NB.
The sale price for the hotels was $14.0 million representing a cap rate of approximately 9.3%
and a price per room of $62,000. Holloway estimates that it will record a gain on sale of
approximately $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2019 (after also reversing a $0.7 million impairment on one of the properties in the fourth quarter of 2018). Holloway does not anticipate
paying any tax on the sale of this property.
Holloway received approximately $5.9 million of proceeds after closing costs, the repayment of
$6.7 million of mortgages secured by the properties and the provision of a $1.0 million second mortgage secured by the properties. Holloway expects to use the net sale proceeds to reduce
amounts drawn under its revolving credit facility.
