Hotel Real Estate Investment Trust ("Lakeview REIT" or the "Trust")
announced today that the previously announced meeting of the
holders (the "Debentureholders") of 6.5% Series C Convertible
Redeemable Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures") was held
today. The Trustees are pleased to announce that the
Debentureholders have approved all resolutions (the "Extraordinary
Resolution") which were placed before them by the Trustees at the
meeting as more specifically set out in Schedule "A" to the
Management Information Circular (the "Circular") dated January 20,
2012 which was previously filed on SEDAR. The amendments will allow
the Trust to focus on its current business strategy and to maintain
an adequate working capital position. Keith Levit, the
President of the Trust, stated "We believe that these amendments
are in the best interests of debentureholders by providing them
with an increasing coupon over time along with the issuance of
warrants providing debentureholders with the potential to
participate in the growth in the value of the REIT." The
Extraordinary Resolution authorizes the Trust to make certain
amendments to the trust indenture governing the Debentures,
including, among other things: -- Extendingthe maturity date of the
Debentures from June 30, 2012 to June 30, 2017; -- Changingthe
payment of interest from being calculated and payable semi-annually
at the rate of 6.5% per annum to being calculated and payable
semi-annually in arrears at the rate of: (i) 6.5% per annum,
payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30, 2012, December 31,
2012, June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2013; (ii) 7.5% per annum,
payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30, 2014, December 31,
2014, June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015; and (iii) 8.0% per
annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30, 2016, December
31, 2016 and June 30, 2017. The effective date for the foregoing
amendments is anticipated to be March 2, 2012. As a result of the
meeting the Trustees have declared a special distribution on the
outstanding Debentures. Each holder of Debentures (a
"Debentureholder") will receive 384 trust unit purchase warrants
(the "Warrants") for each Debenture held by them. The
