Summit Hotel Properties Announces Pricing of Public Offering of Common Stock

SIOUX FALLS, S.D.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Summit Hotel Properties, Inc. (NYS: INN) (the "Company") today announced the pricing of its public offering of 12,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, an increase of 20% over the previously announced offering size of 10,000,000 shares, at a price of $8.15 per share, for total net proceeds of approximately $93.0 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

The underwriters have a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,800,000 shares of common stock. Subject to customary closing conditions, the offering is expected to close on or about October 3, 2012.

Prior to consummating these acquisitions, the Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds to reduce the outstanding balance under its senior secured revolving credit facility, which amounts can be re-borrowed to fund the closings of the acquisitions.
