Item 2.01. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On June 18, 2012, a subsidiary of Hersha Hospitality Limited Partnership ("HHLP"), the operating partnership of Hersha Hospitality Trust (the "Company"), acquired from its unaffiliated joint venture partner (i) the remaining 50% membership interest it did not previously own in Metro 29th Street Associates, LLC, the lessee of the 228-room Holiday Inn Express located at 232 West 29th Street, New York, NY (the "Holiday Inn Express 29th Street"), and (ii) the remaining 50% membership interest it did not previously own in Metro 29th Sublessee, LLC, the sublessee of the Holiday Inn 29th Street. As a result of the transaction, the Company, through its subsidiary, became the sole member of the lessee and the sublessee. Total consideration paid by the Company to the seller was approximately $10.8 million, including $10.0 million in cash and the forgiveness of approximately $800,000 of accrued interest payable under a mezzanine loan made by the Company to an affiliate of the seller.

In addition, HHLP entered into an option agreement with the seller and an affiliate of the seller that is the fee simple owner of the Holiday Inn Express 29th Street (the "Owner"). Pursuant to the option agreement, (i) the seller granted an equity call option to HHLP to purchase 100% of the equity interests in an entity that is the sole member of the Owner, (ii) the Owner granted a real property call option to HHLP to purchase its fee simple interest in the Holiday Inn Express 29th Street and (iii) HHLP granted a real property put option to the Owner to sell to HHLP the Holiday Inn Express 29th Street. The exercise price of the option is $1.00. The equity call option and the real property call option is exercisable by HHLP at any time after the earlier of September 1, 2016 and certain other specified events, including the seller's death or disability. The real property put option is exercisable by the seller at any time.

At or prior to the closing of any exercise of the option described above, HHLP will pay all amounts outstanding and terminate, or assume all obligations under, a mezzanine loan with an outstanding principal balance of $15.0 million that bears interest at 10% and matures on November 25, 2012 and first mortgage loan secured by the Holiday Inn Express 29th Street with an outstanding principal balance of $54.6 million that bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.50% per annum and matures on November 5, 2016.

The Company has accounted for the Holiday Inn Express 29th Street as an unconsolidated joint venture investment since 2007. As a result of the transaction described above, the Company is entitled to all of the profits and losses from the property from January 1, 2012. The Company expects to account for the Holiday Inn Express 29th Street as a consolidated hotel property for the second quarter of 2012.
