Summit Hotel Properties, Inc. (NYSE: INN) (the “Company”) today announced that it successfully closed on a new $125.0 million seven-year unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”).

“We are pleased to announce the closing of this $125 million long-term debt facility,” said Daniel P. Hansen, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The support of our credit partners is a validation of the quality of our portfolio and execution of our strategy.”

Proceeds from the Term Loan have been used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Company’s senior unsecured revolving credit facility. At the Company's election, borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a floating rate plus a spread over either the Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate. The spread depends upon the Company's leverage ratio and ranges from 1.80 to 2.60 percent for Eurodollar Rate based borrowings and from 0.80 to 1.60 percent for Base Rate based borrowings. The Term Loan has an accordion option which provides the Company with the ability to increase the Term Loan capacity to $200.0 million, subject to customary conditions.

Successful execution of the Term Loan results in the Company having a debt portfolio with a weighted-average term-to-maturity of greater than five years, and sufficient liquidity to address debt maturities through 2017, after the consideration of extension options.

The Term Loan was arranged by KeyBanc Capital Markets, Inc., Regions Capital Markets and Raymond James Bank, N.A. KeyBank National Association will serve as Administrative Agent with Regions Bank and Raymond James Bank, N.A. as Co-Syndication Agents. Other participants include Branch Banking and Trust Company and U.S. Bank National Association.
