Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On March 11, 2021, the CLNY Seller Entities (as defined below), each affiliates of Colony Capital, Inc. (the “Company”), completed the sale of two of the Company's six hospitality portfolios (the "Two-Pack Sale") to Silverplate Capital Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of Highgate (the “Purchaser”), consisting of all of the MIA Seller Entities' and the NEP Seller Entities’ respective interests (the “MIA/NEP Interests”) in the Miami Airport Portfolio and New England Portfolio, respectively, consisting of an aggregate of approximately 1,842 rooms across 12 hotel properties in the U.S. The sale was completed pursuant to the previously announced Agreement of Purchase and Sale, dated September 22, 2020 (as amended from time to time, the “Sale Agreement”) with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the CLNY Seller Entities agreed to sell all of the CLNY Seller Entities’ interests (the “Hospitality Interests”) in the Company’s six hospitality portfolios.

In connection with the Two-Pack Sale, on March 11, 2021, the CLNY Seller Entities entered into a third amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Sale Agreement.

The Amendment also modifies the gross aggregate purchase price to $12.0 million, as may be further adjusted pursuant to the Sale Agreement, which reflects the purchase price to be paid by the Purchaser for the CBM Portfolio, the Miami Airport Portfolio and the New England Portfolio only. There can be no assurance that the sale of the CBM Portfolio will close in the timeframe contemplated or on the terms anticipated, if at all.

CMP I Owner-T, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("CMP I Owner"), CMP I CAM2-T, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("CMP I CAM2," and together with CMP I Owner, the "CMP Seller Entities"), Grand Prix Mezz Borrower Fixed LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, INK Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, INK Acquisition III LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Castleblack Owner Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Castleblack Operator Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, MC Owner MB1-T, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("MC Owner"), MC OPS MB1-T, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("MC OPS," and together with MC Owner, the "MIA Seller Entities"), NEP Owner MB2-T, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("NEP Owner"), NEP OPS MB2-T, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("NEP OPS," together with NEP Owner, the "NEP Seller Entities"), CNI THL Propco Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and CNI THL Opco Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, are collectively referred to herein as the “CLNY Seller Entities.”
