Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Warrant Redemption Agreement
On October 23, 2013, Sotherly Hotels Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company") and the sole general partner of Sotherly Hotels LP, a Delaware
limited partnership, entered into a Warrant Redemption Agreement (the "Redemption Agreement"), with Essex Illiquid, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Essex Illiquid"), and Richmond Hill Capital Partners, LP, a Delaware
limited partnership ("Richmond Hill", and together with Essex Illiquid, the "Holders"). Pursuant to the Redemption Agreement, on October 23, 2013, the Company redeemed a portion of the Warrant (as hereinafter defined)
corresponding to an aggregate of 900,000 Issuable Warrant Shares (as defined in the Warrant) (the "Redeemed Warrant Shares") for an aggregate cash redemption price of $3,200,000.00 (the "Warrant Redemption"). The Redeemed Warrant
Shares are no longer Issuable Warrant Shares under the Warrant, and all exercise and other rights of the Holders in respect of the Redeemed Warrant Shares under the Warrant are terminated and extinguished. The Warrant was issued to the Holders on
April 18, 2011 and amended by an Amendment to Warrant dated as of December 21, 2011, an Amendment No. 2 to Warrant dated as of July 10, 2012, and an Amendment No. 3 to Warrant (described below) dated October 23, 2013
(the "Warrant").
Ryan P. Taylor, a current member of the Company's board of directors as previously designated by the holders of the
Company's preferred stock, is the Managing Partner of Richmond Hill Investment Co., LP and a Managing Director of Richmond Hill Investments, LLC.
The Redemption Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.43 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
Amendment No. 3 to Warrant
Simultaneously to
the entry into the Redemption Agreement, and as an Exhibit thereto, the Company entered into an amendment of the Warrant (the "Warrant Amendment"). The Warrant Amendment (i) extends from April 18, 2014 to April 18, 2015 the
expiration of the period during which the Holders may not offer, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise transfer the Warrant; (ii) amends Schedule 1 of the Warrant to reflect the Warrant Redemption; and (iii) makes certain
technical amendments to defined terms in the Warrant. As a result of the Warrant Redemption, the Holders currently hold exercise rights with respect to an aggregate of 1,000,000 Issuable Warrant Shares under the Warrant, as amended by the Warrant
Amendment.
