Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
On December 29, 2015, Summit Hotel OP, LP, the operating partnership of Summit Hotel Properties, Inc., and certain affiliated entities (collectively, the “Company”) and American Realty Capital Hospitality Portfolio SMT, LLC (“ARCH”) agreed to terminate the Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of June 2, 2015 (as amended thereafter, the “Agreement”), between the Company and ARCH pursuant to which ARCH had the right to acquire fee simple interests in the ten hotels listed below containing an aggregate of 996 guestrooms for an aggregate purchase price of $89.1 million at a closing that had been scheduled to occur on December 29, 2015. As a result of the termination, ARCH forfeited and the Company retained, the $9.1 million earnest money deposit made under the Agreement and the parties were released from further obligations under the Agreement, except those which expressly survive the termination of the Agreement pursuant to its terms. This transaction had not been structured as a 1031 tax deferred exchange.

Under the Second Agreement, ARCH has the right to acquire fee simple interests in the remaining six hotels listed below containing an aggregate 707 guestrooms for an aggregate purchase price of $108.3 million. Earnest money deposits totaling approximately $18.5 million associated with the remaining six hotels under the Second Amendment are non-refundable to ARCH except in limited circumstances.
