Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On June 12, 2013, Chatham Lodging Trust (the "Company") issued a press release announcing that it has launched a public offering of its common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share (the "Offering").

A copy of such press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

Item 8.01.
Other Events
Hotel Under Contract
As previously stated, on May 17, 2013, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the 178-room Hyatt Place® Pittsburgh North Shore in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (the “Pittsburgh Hyatt Place”) for a total cash purchase price of $40.0 million, plus customary pro-rated amounts and closing costs, from Continental/Rockbridge North Shore Hotel, L.P. (the “HP Seller”). Rolf E. Ruhfus, one of the Company's independent trustees, holds a 3.86% ownership interest in the HP Seller. Upon completion of the acquisition, the Pittsburgh Hyatt Place will be managed by Island Hospitality Management (“IHM”), which is 90% owned by Jeffrey H. Fisher, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to a management agreement between the Company's taxable real estate investment trust subsidiary and IHM. The Company intends to fund the purchase price for the Pittsburgh Hyatt Place with the proceeds of the Offering. The Company currently anticipates that the acquisition of the Pittsburgh Hyatt Place will close by June 17, 2013. However, because the acquisition remains subject to customary closing requirements and conditions, the Company can give no assurance that the acquisition will be consummated during that time period or at all. This Current Report on Form 8-K includes the historical financial statements and pro forma financial information that will be required by Items 9.01 (a) and (b) if the acquisition of the Pittsburgh Hyatt Place is consummated.
In addition to the Pittsburgh Hyatt Place, the Company has an active pipeline of potential acquisitions and continues to seek out and review opportunities for additional hotel acquisitions in accordance with its investment strategy. The Company's management team sources these potential acquisitions through its extensive relationships with hotel owners, management companies, franchisors, brokers, banks, insurance companies, public institutions, fund managers, real estate investment trusts, private investors and developers.
Dividends
On April 10, 2013, the Company declared a monthly dividend of $0.07 per common share, which was paid on May 31, 2013 to shareholders of record as of April 30, 2013. On May 10, 2013, the Company declared a monthly dividend of $0.07 per common share, which is payable on June 28, 2013 to shareholders of record as of May 31, 2013.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants

To the Partners of
Continental/Rockbridge North Shore Hotel, L.P. d/b/a/ Hyatt Place Pittsburgh North Shore Hotel

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Hyatt Place Pittsburgh North Shore Hotel, which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations, partners' capital and cash flows for the years then ended.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hyatt Place Pittsburgh North Shore Hotel at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

1.
Business and Basis of Presentation

These financial statements are the financial statements of Continental/Rockbridge North Shore Hotel, L.P. d/b/a/ Hyatt Place Pittsburgh North Shore Hotel (hereinafter the "Company" or the “Hotel”). The Hyatt Place Pittsburgh North Shore Hotel is a 178-room hotel located at 260 North Shore Drive in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Hotel is 100% owned by Continental/Rockbridge North Shore Hotel, L.P., a limited partnership formed in Ohio.

Construction was financed with a construction loan (note 4) and completed in 2010 including the payment of approximately $1.8 million in accrued capital expenditures during 2011. The Hotel commenced operations in December, 2010.

The Hotel operates under a franchise agreement with Hyatt Place Franchising LLC (“Hyatt”) and is subject to a management agreement with Lodgeworks, L.P. (“Lodgeworks”), which has an ownership interest in the Company (note 5).
 
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation. The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment in hotel properties, net. Hotel properties are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (5 to 7 years for furniture and equipment and 15 to 39 years for buildings and improvements). Costs directly related to the development of the hotel including property taxes and insurance, and interest incurred, were capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. The Hotel was deemed to be held for use as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and no facts and circumstances were noted which would indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  As such, no impairment provisions were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  

Cash and cash equivalents. All highly liquid cash investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are placed with reputable institutions and the balances may at times exceed federally insured deposit levels; however, the hotel has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Restricted cash reserves. Restricted cash reserves are escrowed based upon 2% of gross revenue in year one of operation, 3% in year two of operation and 4% thereafter to be used for replacement capital expenditures.

Hotel receivables. Hotel receivables consists of amounts owed by guests staying in the hotels at December 31, 2012 and 2011 and amounts due from business customers or groups. The allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained at a level believed to be adequate to absorb estimated losses. Evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is primarily based on past loss experience, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $7 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Prepaid expenses. Prepaid expenses consist primarily of prepaid insurance which is expensed over the term of the insurance contracts on a straight line basis.

Debt    

The FirstMerit Bank N.A. loan was issued on May 15, 2009, is collateralized by the Hyatt Place Pittsburgh North Shore Hotel and is guaranteed by Rockbridge Hospitality Fund IV, L.P. The loan may be prepaid with a 5 business day notice. The FirstMerit Loan matured (note 10) and bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3%. Monthly interest payments are due on the loan. The FirstMerit Loan requires the Company to maintain a debt coverage ratio. The Company is in compliance with its covenants as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.


5.
Management Agreement

The Company entered into a management agreement with Lodgeworks on June 30, 2009. The term of the agreement is for 5 years and renews automatically for two successive 5-year terms unless terminated by the Company or Lodgeworks. The agreement requires a base management fee of 3% of Gross Operating Revenues (as defined) as well as other fees set forth in the agreement. Other fees include accounting fees of $38 annually, a Data/IT fee of $13 per year and revenue management fee of $15 per year during 2013. These fees increase annually based on CPI. Management fees for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $258 and $227, respectively.

6.
Franchise Agreement

The Pittsburgh North Shore Hotel is subject to a franchise agreement with Hyatt to operate under the Hyatt Place brand. The agreement expires on December 2, 2030 and is not renewable. Under the agreement, royalty fees are equal to 3% of hotel gross room revenues during year one, 4% during year two and 5% thereafter. Marketing fees are equal to 3.5% of hotel gross room revenues (as defined) as well as other fees set forth in the agreement. Franchise expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $389 and $285, respectively.


7.
Commitments and Contingencies

On December 3, 2010, $500 was paid to the Company by Hyatt as Key Money for the development of the hotel. The Key Money does not have to be repaid to Hyatt if the franchise agreement remains in place through the franchise expiration date in December 2030. The Company is amortizing the Key Money on a straight-line basis over the term of the franchise license as the termination fee liability is ratably reduced to $0 over the term of the franchise agreement. The revenue is in other hotel operating expense on the income statement. The balance of the liability at December 31, 2012 was $448 and is included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses on the balance sheet.

The Company is not presently a defendant to any other material litigation, nor, to its knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against the Company or its properties, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business and which is expected to pose no material financial risk to the Company and/or is expected to be covered by insurance policies.


8.
Related Party Services

Lodgeworks has an ownership interest in the Company and also provides management and other services to the Hotel (note 5).

The Hotel was developed by an affiliate of the Company for which the affiliates and its principals have ownership in both the general partner and the limited partner of the Company.

9.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company is obligated under its franchise agreements to maintain a minimum condition level of its hotels. In order to maintain certain condition levels, the Company must renovate its hotels to meet existing franchisor standards or implement franchisor required standards such as flat panel televisions. The timing of the renovations is agreed-upon between the Company and the franchisor and the franchisor will typically mandate a date upon which required standards are due. Although the Company is required to fund into restricted cash accounts up to 4% of gross revenues for future improvements at hotels under certain mortgage loans, this money may not be sufficient to complete the renovations and there may be insufficient capital to fund any shortfall. The Company may default under its franchise agreements if it fails to complete the renovations in accordance with the timelines required by the franchisors. If defaults remain uncured, the Company could lose significant revenue if the hotel had to operate without a franchise license from Hyatt.
 
10.
Subsequent Events

On March 7, 2013, the Company amended the loan with FirstMerit Bank N.A. and increased the loan amount $1,000. The maturity date is extended to March 1, 2016. The additional fees to amend the loan agreement were $88. Monthly interest payments of LIBOR + 2% are due along with a monthly principal payment of $4.

On May 17, 2013, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Chatham Lodging Trust for the sale of the Hotel for a purchase price of $40.0 million.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through June 11, 2013, the date the financial statements were available to be issued, and concluded there were no other events or transactions during this period that required recognition or disclosure in its financial statements.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF CHATHAM LODGING TRUST

Chatham Lodging Trust (“Chatham”) was formed as a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) on October 26, 2009. Chatham completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) and concurrent private placement of common shares of beneficial interest on April 21, 2010. Chatham raised approximately $158.7 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering costs. On February 8, 2011, Chatham completed a second public offering of common shares, raising approximately $69.4 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering costs. On January 14, 2013, Chatham completed a third public offering of common shares, raising approximately $48.5 million and an exercise of the underwriters’ over-allmotment option raising approximately $1.4 million both net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering costs.

On December 27, 2012, Chatham acquired the Hampton Inn Portland Downtown in Portland, ME for $28.0 million and on February 6, 2013, Chatham acquired the Courtyard by Marriott Houston Medical Center in Houston, TX for $34.8 million. These acquisitions were not deemed significant and therefore are not included in the pro forma financial information.

On May 17, 2013, Chatham entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Continental/Rockbridge North Shore Hotel, L.P. (“C/R Owner”) to acquire the 178-room Hyatt Place® Pittsburgh North Shore hotel in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (the “North Shore Hotel”) for a cash purchase price of $40.0 million, plus customary pro-rated amounts and closing costs.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013 includes the pro forma financial information as if the North Shore Hotel was acquired on March 31, 2013.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 includes the pro forma financial information as if the North Shore Hotel was acquired on January 1, 2012.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 includes the pro forma financial information as if the North Shore Hotel was acquired on January 1, 2012.

The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what Chatham’s results of operations or financial condition would have been assuming such transactions had been completed at the beginning of the periods presented, nor is it indicative of Chatham’s results of operations or financial condition for future periods. In management’s opinion, all material adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of the significant acquisition described above have been made. In addition, the unaudited pro forma financial information is based upon available information and upon assumptions and estimates, some of which are set forth in the notes to the unaudited pro forma financial information, which we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma financial information and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of Chatham in Chatham’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Quarterly Report on Form 10−Q for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
