<p>Five out of 15 properties put up for auction have received qualified bids in the second bid round for EAGLEHT Chapter 11 assets held on 20May. The DBS trustee said its Chapter 11 entities received qualified bids for Sheraton Denver Tech Center, Four Points by Sheraton San Jose Airport, Embassy Suites by Hilton Anaheim North, Doubletree by Hilton Salt Lake City Airport, and Hilton Atlanta Northeast. The auction resulted in a US$24.8m net increase in the aggregate consideration for EAGLEHT's auctioned properties. A stalking-horse bidder, Madison Phoenix LLC, an affiliate of Monarch Alternative Capital, emerged successful for its bid of nine non-auctioned properties with an aggregate purchase price of US$326.5m. This is in accordance with the terms of the stalking-horse agreement between entities of EAGLEHT and the bidder, which effectively sets an opening price or price floor to protect the company selling the assets at low bids. Properties remaining in EAGLEHT's portfolio upon approval of the sale would comprise Queen Mary Long Beach, Delta Woodbridge, Hilton Houston Galleria Area and Crowne Plaza Dallas Near Galleria-Addison.</p>
