The art' seems to be confusing the REIT(sohob) with the hotels(soho).

That is a no no! Yes...it was always such before the REIT. But the REIT is now "publicly" separated instead of "privately" separated.

Zester Zester 6 years ago
This poor stock has turned out to be one of the greatest disappointments. The current diluting instead of a buy-back, plus any interest rate whisper...and yes even more debt have just killed any hope for the "common" shareholder. Communication is beyond poor. At this point one could only hope for a takeover (which seems like what they want) or just go private, but to many outstanding notes. What a mess!!

RW- I couldn't respond privately. Don't look for anything quick on this stock. In fact near term looks rough. Lots of debt and getting more. They seem to buy everything in sight. Decent dividend if you own enough. I wouldn't buy yet may dip more. No one seems to care about RevPar. Earnings miss most of the time. By the time things improve...the economy will probably tank and these tank with it. Sorry I'm a bit negative right now.

This company needs to update what it's doing or issue some sort of presser. The last news is a "strong sell" from Zacks ? So basically they are agreeing that they are a strong sell? I also notice they always talk about how "well managed" and what a great "undervalued" company they are...but it seems like they ALWAYS miss guidance, and always have an excuse or blame..ie.. hurricanes or some other unforeseen excuse. Guide lower for heaven sakes!!! Your stock does nothing but tank by midday 8/10 days and we hear of them trying to prop up the price, but to no avail.

Hotel REIT Plans to Expand in the South

6/17/2013 | By Carisa Chappell

Drew Sims, chairman and CEO of SoTHERLY Hotels (NASDAQ: SOHO), joined REIT.com for a CEO Spotlight video interview in Chicago at REITWeek 2013: NAREIT's Investor Forum.

SoTHERLY Hotels is a Virginia-based lodging REIT with a portfolio of full-service hotels primarily located in the South. The company, formerly known as MHI Hospitality, underwent a rebranding in April 2013 to more clearly define its mission.

“The reception from the investment community has been very positive. Our company traded for almost 55 years as MHI. My father founded the company back in 1957, so there’s a little nostalgia in changing the name,” Sims said.

After a complete restructuring of the company’s balance sheet and a redirection of its expansion efforts in its core Southern markets, Sims said that the name reflects what the REIT’s mission will be going forward.

He said that while the company has hotels in locations such as Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville, Savannah, Raleigh, Wilmington, NC, and Louisville, Atlanta is one of SoTHerly’s most important markets.

“Those markets are fed out of Atlanta so we feel like having a signature hotel in Atlanta is a must for us. That’s going to be our first stop,” Sims said. “After that it is markets like Houston, Charleston, Charlotte, and others to follow after that.”

When it comes to fundamentals and sustaining the momentum in the hotel sector, Sims said the lack of new supply will help to ensure continued growth.

“It bodes well for the future of our industry. We’re not seeing a lot of new product and as a result of increased demand we’re actually in a very good position for extended growth,” he said. “Our belief is that in the next two or three years we should see a continued growth in rates, and occupancy has already stabilized at a very healthy level.”

SoTHERLY Hotels Inc. Announces Closing of 8.0% Senior Unsecured Notes Offered by Its Operating Partnership; Exercise of Underwriters’ over-Allotment Option and Redemption of Preferred Stock

SoTHERLY Hotels Inc. (NASDAQ: SOHO) (the “Company”) today announced the closing, including the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, on the 8.0% senior unsecured notes due 2018 (the “Notes”) offered by its operating partnership, Sotherly Hotels LP (the “Operating Partnership”). The aggregate principal amount of the Notes, including the over-allotment option, is $27.6 million. The total net proceeds were approximately $26.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The Notes are expected to be listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol "SOHOL."

Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. acted as the sole book-runner of the offering, and Boenning & Scattergood, Inc., Incapital LLC, J.J.B. Hilliard, W.L. Lyons, LLC, and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. acted as co-managers.

The Company also announced that a portion of the proceeds were used to redeem 100% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s 12% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) for an aggregate redemption price of approximately $11.0 million, including the payment of related accrued but unpaid dividends and any make-whole amounts or premium.

Drew Sims, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “The successful completion of this combined transaction is a significant milestone for the Company as it concludes the balance sheet enhancement strategy we implemented in 2011. We are very pleased we have accomplished this without diluting our loyal shareholders.” Sims added, “By lowering our cost of capital, ridding ourselves of the restrictions of the Preferred Stock, and adding some dry-powder to the Company’s balance sheet, we are now ready to go back on offense and start growing our Company’s portfolio again.”

MHI Hospitality Changes Name to SoTHERLY Hotels

MHI Hospitality Corp. (formerly NASDAQ: MDH) has officially rebranded, announcing April 22 that it had changed its name to SoTHERLY Hotels Inc. (NASDAQ: SOHO).

The Virginia-based hotel REIT has held the MHI name since the 1950s. However, a name change has been in the works for several years, according to company executives, who said that the name MHI offered little value today in terms of accurately representing the company.

“It’s a bittersweet day. My dad founded the company in 1957, so I’ve spent a lifetime with MHI,” said Drew Sims, CEO of SoTHERLY Hotels. “We were looking for a name that more clearly defined what we’re going to be about and where we are going in the future. “Even though MHI has been around for 56 years, it doesn’t tell the story of what we’ve accomplished and what we’re trying to do.”

Since the company’s initial public offering in 2004, Sims said it has accumulated a portfolio of unique, upper upscale and upscale hotels assets primarily located in premier destination markets throughout the southern portion of the United States. Sims noted that the new name symbolizes the current and future footprint of its portfolio.

SoTHERLY Hotels Inc. has a long-term goal of building a larger portfolio throughout the South, according to Sims. He said the company plans to expand its footprint to select markets that fit its growth strategy, including Atlanta; Houston; Nashville, Tenn.; and Charleston, S.C.

“The type of markets we’re going to be looking for in the South is going to be representative of the major drivers of travel in the South. The location has also got to be in a central business district and in a nice walking location,” he said.

He added that as the population continues to migrate towards warmer climates, lower taxes and expanding business hubs, the long-term growth prospects in the South are appealing.

Sims said that the name change comes at a time when the company’s portfolio is performing strongly. The company’s revenue per available room (RevPAR) in 2012 increased to $78.65, up 7.8 percent from 2011 as a result of a 4.1 percent increase in occupancy and a 3.6 percent increase in the average daily rate.

In conjunction with the name change, the company also launched its new website, www. SOTHERLYHOTELS.com.
