American Hotel Income Properties Reit LP Announces Recent Unit Purchases by John O'Neill, New CEO, and His Compensation in Equity

Canada NewsWire

VANCOUVER, Oct. 2, 2018 /CNW/ - American Hotel Income Properties REIT LP ("AHIP", or the "Company") HOT HOT.U, and HOT.DB.U))) is pleased to confirm that John O'Neill has joined the Company as CEO effective yesterday, as previously announced on September 12, 2018.

Since the announcement of his appointment as CEO, John has purchased an additional 154,400 units through open market purchases, increasing the number of AHIP units he owns or shares control over to 971,465 units, representing 1.24% of the Company. In addition, John has requested to receive 100% of his compensation in the form of equity, to continue growing his ownership in AHIP and strongly align his interests with other unitholders.

"I see tremendous value in AHIP's units, supported by our strong cash flow and exceptional dividend yield," said John O'Neill, Chief Executive Officer. "I truly believe AHIP will continue to benefit from its diversified portfolio of hotel properties, strong brand partners and the unique opportunity we have to reposition many of our assets as we complete planned hotel renovations over the next year and half."

Mr. O'Neill continued, "As we are in the process of preparing our third quarter results, all insiders are now restricted from trading until we release our results in November. I look forward to continuing my unit purchases once this trading restriction is lifted."
