/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR OVER UNITED STATES WIRE SERVICES/

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - American Hotel Income Properties REIT LP ("AHIP", or the "Company") (TSX: HOT.UN) (TSX: HOT.U) (TSX: HOT.DB.U) (TSX: HOT.DB.V) announced today the completion of its previously announced public offering (the "Offering") on a bought deal basis of US$50 million aggregate principal amount of 6.00% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures due on December 31, 2026 (the "Debentures").

The Debentures will commence trading today on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") under the symbol HOT.DB.V.

The Offering was conducted through a syndicate of underwriters co-led by CIBC Capital Markets and BMO Capital Markets, and included Canaccord Genuity Corp., TD Securities Inc., National Bank Financial Inc., RBC Capital Markets, Scotiabank and iA Private Wealth Inc. AHIP has also granted the underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional US$5 million aggregate principal amount of Debentures exercisable in whole or in part for a period of 30 days following closing of the Offering to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes.

As described in AHIP's prospectus dated November 22, 2021 which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com (the "Prospectus"), AHIP intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering, together with cash on hand, to fund the intended redemption of all of the Company's outstanding convertible unsecured subordinated debentures due on June 30, 2022, with an aggregate principal outstanding of US$48,875,000, listed on the TSX under the trading symbol HOT.DB.U (the "2022 Debentures").  Later today, AHIP will issue a notice (the "Notice") of redemption to the registered holder of the 2022 Debentures. As set out in the Notice, the redemption date of the 2022 Debentures will be on December 31, 2021 (the "Redemption Date"). The 2022 Debentures are redeemable for an amount equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.  

The Debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into limited partnership units of AHIP (each, a "Unit" or collectively "Units") at any time prior to maturity at US$4.95 per Unit (the "Conversion Price"). The Conversion Price of the Debentures also represents a conversion rate of approximately 202.0202 Units for each US$1,000 principal amount of Debentures, subject to adjustment in accordance with the trust indenture dated June 9, 2017 (the "Trust Indenture") and the supplemental indenture dated November 26, 2021 (the "Supplemental Indenture") collectively governing the Debentures, copies of which will be available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The Debentures bear interest at a rate of 6.00% per annum and will be payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31 until maturity on December 31, 2026, with the first payment commencing on June 30, 2022. The Debentures will not be redeemable by AHIP prior to December 31, 2024. On or after December 31, 2024, but prior to December 31, 2025, the Debentures will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at a price equal to par plus accrued and unpaid interest, at AHIP's option, provided that the volume-weighted average trading price of the Units on the TSX is not less than 125% of the Conversion Price. On and after December 31, 2025 and prior to the maturity date, the Debentures will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at a price equal to par plus accrued and unpaid interest, at AHIP's option.

The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), and such securities may not be offered or sold within the United States absent registration under the U.S. Securities Act or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements thereunder.
