Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 6, 2021, CorePoint Lodging Inc., a Maryland corporation (“CorePoint”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among CorePoint, Cavalier Acquisition Owner LP (as assignee of Cavalier Acquisition JV LP), a Delaware limited partnership (“Parent”) and Cavalier MergerSub LP (as assignee of Cavalier Acquisition Owner LP), a Delaware limited partnership and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, CorePoint will merge with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity in the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The board of directors of CorePoint has approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger.
As previously disclosed, on January 14, 2022, CorePoint filed a definitive proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the special meeting of its stockholders to be held on March 1, 2022 (the “Special Meeting”) to consider and vote on various proposals necessary to approve the Merger Agreement (the “proxy statement”).
Following the filing of the proxy statement five purported stockholders filed the following actions, Wang v. CorePoint Lodging Inc., et al., 1:22-cv-00026 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 3, 2022), Whitfield v. CorePoint Lodging Inc., et al., 1:22-cv-00147 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 6, 2022), Gorrell v. CorePoint Lodging Inc., et al., 1:22-cv-00146 (E.D.N.Y. Jan. 10, 2022), Main Line Capital Investments, LLC v. CorePoint Lodging Inc., et al., 1:22-cv-00409 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 17, 2022) (the “Main Line Action”), and Bushansky v. CorePoint Lodging Inc., et al., 1:22-cv-00308 (D. Colo. Feb. 2, 2022) (collectively, the “Actions”), against CorePoint and the members of the CorePoint Board of Directors. The Actions allege, among other things, that the proxy statement, misstates or fails to disclose certain material information in violation of federal securities laws. In addition, the Main Line Action also alleges claims of breach of fiduciary duty and aiding and abetting such breach of fiduciary duty. The Actions seek, among other relief, either an order enjoining the merger or rescission if the merger is consummated.
In addition, following the filing of the proxy statement five purported stockholders sent demand letters to CorePoint on February 9, 10, 11, 17 and 18, 2022 (collectively, the “Demand Letters”). The Demand Letters allege similar claims of deficiencies in the proxy statement as those noted in the above-referenced Actions.
Solely to moot the unmeritorious disclosure claims and to minimize the risk, costs, burden, nuisance and uncertainties inherent in litigation, without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, CorePoint hereby supplements the disclosures contained in the proxy statement (the “Supplemental Disclosures”). The Supplemental Disclosures are set forth below and should be read in conjunction with the proxy statement.
CorePoint vigorously denies that the proxy statement is deficient in any respect and that the Supplemental Disclosures are material or required. CorePoint believes that the claims asserted in the Actions and Demand Letters are without merit and that no further disclosure is required to supplement the proxy statement under applicable laws. Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K will be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under any applicable laws for any of the disclosures set forth herein.
SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT
CorePoint hereby provides these Supplemental Disclosures to the proxy statement. This supplemental information should be read in conjunction with the proxy statement, which should be read in its entirety. Defined terms used but not defined below have the meanings set forth in the proxy statement.
| 1. | The section of the proxy statement entitled “The Merger—Background of the Merger” is hereby supplemented as follows: |
| A. | The second full paragraph on page 36 (such paragraph beginning with “In furtherance of its consideration of these types…”) of the proxy statement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows (supplemented disclosure is bolded and underlined): |
In furtherance of its consideration of these types of potential strategic alternatives, the Board and CorePoint’s senior management have discussed a number of such alternatives with representatives of J.P. Morgan and Hodges Ward Elliot, LLC (“HWE”) from time to time, including during periods without any formal engagements. CorePoint has sought advice from these advisors for a number of reasons that include J.P. Morgan’s and HWE’s experience and expertise as financial advisors in a wide variety of transactions and familiarity with CorePoint’s business, including, in the case of J.P. Morgan, J.P. Morgan’s work as financial advisor to La Quinta Holdings Inc. in connection with the 2018 acquisition of La Quinta Holdings Inc. by Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (“Wyndham”) and the related spin-off of CorePoint from La Quinta Holdings Inc. and, in the case of HWE, HWE’s experience relating to the sales of hotel properties. In connection with the process that led to the proposed merger, CorePoint discussed strategic alternatives with representatives of J.P. Morgan and HWE throughout the course of the events in 2021 described below, and CorePoint formally entered into engagement letters with J.P. Morgan and HWE as its financial advisors (which, in the case of HWE, provided that HWE would provide advisory services to CorePoint in support of the process being managed by J.P. Morgan as lead investment banker) effective as of July 13, 2021
in connection with a potential sale of, or other significant strategic transaction involving, CorePoint. CorePoint has also worked with Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP (“Simpson Thacher”) from time to time since the completion of the spin-off from La Quinta Holdings Inc. CorePoint discussed various matters and the process that led to the proposed merger with representatives of Simpson Thacher throughout the course of the events in 2021 described below.
| B. | The third full paragraph on page 36 (such paragraph beginning with “Throughout the first half of 2021…”) of the proxy statement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows (supplemented disclosure is bolded and underlined): |
Throughout the first half of 2021, CorePoint continued to pursue the completion of its ongoing non-core disposition program, which it had commenced in March 2019, with respect to the sale of its non-core hotel properties as identified in a strategic review of its portfolio. During this period, the Board and the Capital Committee of the Board (the “Capital Committee”), respectively, held bi-weekly regularly scheduled update calls during alternating weeks, with representatives of CorePoint management in attendance, to discuss the status of the disposition program and related matters concerning the operations and strategy of CorePoint. Also, from time to time throughout the first half of 2021, representatives of CorePoint management and the Capital Committee had a number of informal discussions with representatives of J.P. Morgan and HWE, respectively, related to the state of the lodging industry generally, certain of CorePoint’s peer companies, CorePoint’s disposition strategy and potential strategic alternatives that CorePoint might pursue. The Capital Committee was established by the Board on September 11, 2018, consistent with the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Committee of the Board, with the purpose, structure and authority and the qualifications and criteria for membership as set forth in the charter of the Capital Committee as previously publicly disclosed by CorePoint, which purpose includes, among other things, providing assistance to the Board with respect to its oversight of investments, dispositions, capital deployment, the performance and valuations of CorePoint’s real estate assets and portfolios, and periodic review of CorePoint’s investment policies, strategies, programs and procedures.
| C. | The fifth full paragraph beginning on page 37 (such paragraph beginning with “On June 21, 2021, the Board…”) and continuing onto page 38 of the proxy statement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows (supplemented disclosure is bolded and underlined and deleted language is stricken through): |
On June 21, 2021, the Board held a telephonic meeting, with representatives of CorePoint management and representatives of J.P. Morgan and Simpson
Thacher in attendance. Representatives of CorePoint management presented to the Board three standalone forecasts for CorePoint, consisting of a base plan and two growth plans, all of which had been prepared by CorePoint management and reviewed on
June 1, 2021 with various members of the Board and representatives of J.P. Morgan. The Board reviewed these standalone forecasts with representatives of J.P. Morgan and representatives of CorePoint management. All three forecasts assumed that
CorePoint would sell all of its properties other than the CorePoint Core Portfolio, and the two growth plans, which were otherwise based on substantially the same underlying assumptions for the future performance of the CorePoint Core
Portfolio as the base plan, also further assumed that CorePoint would shift from its current strategy to pursuing a growth strategy with respect to the core portfolio by using the use of debt capital
following these dispositions to acquire additional core properties. Members of the Board discussed with representatives of CorePoint management the forecasts presented, including the potential value creation opportunity of each of these plans, key
underlying assumptions utilized in preparing the plans and perspectives with respect to market trends. The Board also discussed potential next steps in connection with the potential evaluation of strategic alternatives, as well as the potential
impact of the IRS Matter and the management relationship with Wyndham on any such strategic alternatives.
| D. | The first full paragraph on page 46 (such paragraph beginning with “At this meeting, representatives of J.P. Morgan…”) of the proxy statement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows (supplemented disclosure is bolded and underlined): |
At this meeting, representatives of J.P. Morgan then reviewed with the Board J.P. Morgan’s financial analysis of the potential transaction. Following further discussion, representatives of J.P. Morgan then rendered its oral opinion to the Board to the effect that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken by J.P. Morgan in preparing its opinion, the per share merger consideration of $15.65 to be paid to the holders of CorePoint common stock in the merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders, which was subsequently confirmed by delivery of J.P. Morgan’s written opinion to the Board. The Board did not ask HWE to render an opinion regarding the fairness of the consideration paid in the merger to the Board in connection with HWE’s engagement by CorePoint relating to the merger. The Board considered the fact that the closing price of CorePoint common stock had increased significantly since CorePoint’s public announcement of its strategic alternatives process and that the indications of interest received from all three parties reflected a discount to the most recent closing price per share of CorePoint common stock, but the Board noted that the per share merger consideration of $15.65 to be paid to the holders of CorePoint common stock in the merger represented a premium of approximately 42% to CorePoint’s closing stock price on July 13, 2021, the last trading day prior to the CorePoint’s public announcement of its strategic alternatives process. The Board also considered that, aside from their interests as CorePoint stockholders, CorePoint’s directors and executive officers have interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of other CorePoint stockholders generally, as described in more detail in “The Merger—Interests of CorePoint’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 61 of this proxy statement. Representatives of CorePoint management discussed with the Board and representatives of Simpson Thacher the fact that there had been no discussions during the course of the process leading up to the proposed merger between members of CorePoint management and representatives of Highgate/Cerberus or Party A or other potential acquirors regarding potential employment or compensation arrangements for members of CorePoint management following the consummation of a potential transaction with CorePoint. Representatives of Simpson Thacher then reviewed with the Board their duties under applicable law and the terms of the merger agreement. At the conclusion of the meeting, the Board met in executive session, during which Mr. Cutaia noted, as previously reported to the Board, that neither of the Blackstone parties had a need to sell its shares in the near-term, that their objective had been and continued to be for CorePoint to pursue whatever strategy the Board believed would maximize CorePoint’s value for all of CorePoint’s stockholders, and that each believed that the proposed transaction
would, in fact, maximize CorePoint’s value for all of CorePoint’s stockholders. Representatives of Simpson Thacher also reviewed with the Board the relationship between Simpson Thacher and Blackstone and its affiliates.
| 2. | The section of the proxy statement entitled “The Merger—Opinion of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC” is hereby supplemented as follows: |
| A. | The fifth full paragraph beginning on page 55 (such paragraph beginning with “Public Trading Multiples Using publicly available information, J.P. Morgan…”) and continuing onto page 56 of the proxy statement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows (supplemented disclosure is bolded and underlined): |
Public Trading Multiples Using publicly available information, J.P. Morgan compared selected financial data of CorePoint with similar data for selected publicly traded companies engaged in businesses which J.P. Morgan judged to be sufficiently analogous to those engaged in by CorePoint. The companies selected by J.P. Morgan, and their and CorePoint’s respective public trading multiples (calculated by J.P. Morgan in accordance with the procedures described in the second succeeding paragraph below) were as follows:
| B. | The list on page 56 (such list beginning with “Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc.”) is hereby amended and restated as follows: |
| Company |
EV/2019 Corporate adjusted cash EBITDA |
EV/2022E Corporate adjusted cash EBITDA | ||
| • Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc. |
12.4x | 13.7x | ||
| • Summit Hotel Properties, Inc. |
11.5x | 13.4x | ||
| • Chatham Lodging Trust |
11.1x | 14.1x | ||
| • CorePoint Lodging Inc. |
10.0x | 14.6x |
| C. | The second full paragraph on page 56 (such paragraph beginning with “Using publicly available information, J.P. Morgan calculated…”) of the proxy statement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows (supplemented disclosure is bolded and underlined): |
Using publicly available information, J.P. Morgan calculated, for each selected company the ratios of (a) the company’s enterprise value to the company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Corporate adjusted cash EBITDA”) for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “EV/2019 Corporate adjusted cash EBITDA”), based on publicly available information, and (b) the company’s enterprise value to the consensus equity research analyst estimates for the company’s Corporate adjusted cash EBITDA for the year ending December 31, 2022 (the “EV/2022E Corporate adjusted cash EBITDA”). Based on the results of this analysis and other factors J.P. Morgan considered appropriate based on its professional judgement and experience, J.P. Morgan selected multiple reference ranges of 10.0x – 12.5x for EV/2019 Corporate adjusted cash EBITDA and 13.5x – 14.5x for EV/2022E Corporate adjusted cash EBITDA. After applying such ranges to the CorePoint Core Portfolio’s (as defined in the section entitled “The Merger—Financial Projections” beginning on page 58) Corporate adjusted cash EBITDA for CorePoint for the year ended December 31, 2019, as provided by CorePoint’s management, and the projected CorePoint Core Portfolio’s Corporate adjusted cash EBITDA for CorePoint for the year ending December 31, 2022, respectively, the analysis indicated the following ranges of implied per share equity value (rounded to the nearest $0.25) for CorePoint common stock:
| D. | The fourth full paragraph beginning on page 56 (such paragraph beginning with “Discounted Cash Flow Analysis J.P. Morgan conducted a discounted cash flow analysis…”) and continuing on page 57 of the proxy statement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows (supplemented disclosure is bolded and underlined): |
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis J.P. Morgan conducted a discounted cash flow analysis for the purpose of determining an implied fully diluted equity value per share for CorePoint common stock. J.P. Morgan calculated the unlevered free cash flows that CorePoint’s Core Portfolio is expected to generate during fiscal years 2021E through 2025E based upon the CorePoint Projections prepared by CorePoint management (as set forth in the section entitled “The Merger—Financial Projections” beginning on page 58, which were discussed with, and approved by, the Board for use by J.P. Morgan in connection with its financial analyses). J.P. Morgan also calculated a range of terminal values for CorePoint at the end of this period by applying perpetual growth rates ranging from 2.0% to 3.0%, based on guidance provided by CorePoint’s management and J.P. Morgan’s professional judgement and experience, to estimates of the unlevered terminal free cash flows for the CorePoint Core Portfolio at the end of fiscal-year 2025E, as provided in the CorePoint Projections. J.P. Morgan then discounted the unlevered free cash flow estimates and the range of terminal values to present value as of September 30, 2021 using discount rates ranging from 9.50% to 10.50% for CorePoint, which range was chosen by J.P. Morgan based upon an analysis of the weighted average cost of capital of CorePoint and based on its professional judgement and experience. The present value of the unlevered free cash flow estimates and the range of terminal values were then adjusted by subtracting net debt of $86 million and other adjustments for CorePoint as of September 30, 2021.
| 3. | The section of the proxy statement entitled “The Merger—Financial Projections” is hereby supplemented as follows: |
| A. | The first full paragraph beginning on page 58 (such paragraph beginning with “CorePoint does not as a matter of course…”) and continuing onto page 59 of the proxy statement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows (supplemented disclosure is bolded and underlined): |
CorePoint does not as a matter of course make public projections as to future sales, earnings, or other results, and forecasts for extended periods of time are of particular concern to CorePoint due to the unpredictability of the underlying assumptions and estimates. However, in connection with the discussions regarding the proposed merger, CorePoint management prepared certain unaudited prospective financial information for fiscal years 2021 through 2025 (the “CorePoint Projections”) with respect to the 105 hotels which CorePoint previously identified as constituting its core hotels (the
“CorePoint Core Portfolio”). The CorePoint Projections were prepared treating CorePoint on a stand-alone basis, without giving effect to the merger including the impact of negotiating or executing merger, the expenses that may be incurred in connection with consummating the merger, the potential synergies that may be achieved as a result of the merger, the effect of any business or strategic decision or action that has been or will be taken as a result of the merger agreement with Cavalier having been executed, or the effect of any business or strategic decisions or actions which would likely have been taken if the merger agreement with Cavalier had not been executed but which were instead altered, accelerated, postponed or not taken in anticipation of the merger. CorePoint management provided the CorePoint Projections to the Board for review in connection with the Board’s evaluation of the proposed merger, and to J.P. Morgan, our financial advisor in connection with the proposed merger. CorePoint management provided an estimate of 61,531,191 fully diluted shares of CorePoint common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2021 to J.P. Morgan in connection with the proposed merger. CorePoint management also provided the CorePoint Projections for fiscal year 2021, and only for fiscal year 2021, to Cavalier.
