Chicago, Sept. 19 – RLJ Lodging Trust said subsidiary FelCor Lodging LP began a change-of-control offer for its $525 million principal amount of 5 5/8% senior secured notes due 2023.

FelCor is offering to repurchase the notes at 101% of par plus accrued interest until 9 a.m. ET on Oct. 19.

The change-of-control offer is being made in connection with the merger between a wholly owned subsidiary of RLJ Lodging Trust, LP (RLJ LP) and FelCor, with FelCor surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of RLJ LP, according to a company announcement.

As announced Sept. 1, RLJ LP’s Rangers Sub I, LLC assumed the obligations for FelCor’s 5 5/8% senior secured notes due 2023 and 6% senior unsecured notes due 2025 following the merger of the two companies.

The notes will remain outstanding under RLJ’s guarantee.
