LuxUrban Hotels Inc. Increases Growth Capital by $5 Million via Amended Revenue Share Agreement

New Growth Capital Earmarked for Specific New Property Launches to Drive Further Growth of LuxUrban’s Asset Light Business Model

Company Increases 2023 Net Rental Revenue and EBITDA Guidance

LuxUrban Hotels Inc. (Nasdaq: LUXH) (or “the Company”), which utilizes a long-term lease, asset-light business model to acquire and manage a growing portfolio of short-term rental properties in major metropolitan cities, announced today that it has entered into an amended Revenue Share Agreement (“RSA”) with its lenders that will immediately increase the Company’s growth capital by $5 million through the elimination and conversion of certain payment obligations. As a result, the Company is increasing 2023 EBITDA projections by $5 million.

Among the terms included in the amended RSA, in exchange for the termination of an aggregate $5 million in cash payments that the Company had been obligated to pay Greenle Partners LLC Series Alpha P.S and Greenle Partners LLC Series Beta P.S (collectively, “Greenle”) for the last quarter of 2022 and all quarters in 2023 in connection with the Revenue Share rights granted to Greenle by the Company with respect to certain of the Company’s properties, the Company shall issue to Greenle an aggregate 2,457,002 shares of unregistered common stock at specified dates and amounts ending January 1, 2024. The common stock will be issued to Greenle at an effective price of $2.035 per share, which is equal to 110% the last sale market price reported by Nasdaq on February 10, 2023, and 119% of the average last sale market prices of the Company’s common stock for the ten consecutive trading day period through and including such date.

“We appreciate Greenle’s willingness to amend the terms of the RSA and are grateful for their continued support,” said Brian Ferdinand, Chairman and CEO of LuxUrban Hotels. “We believe that the restructuring of these cash payment obligations into equity by these sophisticated lenders demonstrates their faith in our ability to deliver long-term value for all shareholders, while validating our growth and vision for the future. The Revenue Share model applied only to our unaffiliated pre-IPO investors on a limited number of our current properties and is accounted for within our revised EBITDA projections. We are now able to deploy up to $5 million of this newly available capital towards specific new property launches to drive further growth via our asset light business model. We currently have 18 short-term stay hotel properties under long-term lease in five cities across the United States and are pursuing a robust pipeline of inventory. We are confident that this transaction, the previously announced debt to equity conversions, and the current trajectory of our business will allow us to utilize projected cash flows to substantially reduce or potentially eliminate our debt in 2023, while still meeting our projected growth targets. We continue to look forward to our future with confidence.”

Additional terms and details regarding the amended RSA shall be available in a Form 8-K to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about February 13, 2023.

Increases 2023 Net Revenue and EBITDA Guidance

For the year ending December 31, 2023, the Company is increasing its guidance for net rental revenue to a range of $115 to $120 million, and EBIDTA to a range of $21 to $25 million, an increase from the Company’s prior guidance for net rental revenue in a range of $100 to $110 million, and EBITDA in a range of $16 to $20 million.

The Company also reiterated its previously issued guidance for the year ended December 31, 2022 for net rental revenue in a range of $42 to $46 million and EBITDA in a range of $7 to $9 million.

This guidance is based on, among other factors, the Company’s current business, economic, and public health conditions; the status of its acquisition pipeline and its ability to close on these potential acquisitions; and its current view of forward-looking unit operating metrics.
