Supertel Hospitality Amends Loans Reducing Borrowing Costs

NORFOLK, NE--(Marketwired - June 08, 2015) - Supertel Hospitality, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPPR), a real estate investment trust (REIT), today announced that it amended various terms of its $11.2 million revolving credit facility with Great Western Bank, including to extend the maturity date to June 30, 2018; reduce the interest rate from 4.5 percent annually to the prime rate plus 1.0 percent annually (currently, 4.25 percent annually); and remove the 2.0 percent prepayment penalty required with refinancing with another financial institution.

On May 28, 2015, the $8.3 million mortgage loan previously held by Middle Patent Capital, LLC was, through the efforts of Supertel, sold to Frontier Bank. In connection with the sale, the interest rate was reduced from 12.5 percent to 6.0 percent and the maturity date was extended from June 6, 2015 to May 1, 2016.
