PART III-- NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why the Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR or the transition report portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Sotherly Hotels Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and Sotherly Hotels LP (the “Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership of which the Company is the sole general partner (each a “Registrant,” and together, the “Registrants”) are joint filers.
The Registrants’ Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Form 10-Q”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 cannot be filed within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense as a result of ongoing evaluation of the presentation of the preferred units on the balance sheet of the Partnership as permanent equity, rather than as temporary equity (mezzanine), as well as ongoing evaluation of the accounting for other items. Until the analyses have been completed, the Company is unable to file the Form 10-Q.
Although the Company continues to work expeditiously to complete the work necessary to file the Form 10-Q as soon as practicable, the Company does not anticipate filing the Form 10-Q within the five-day period provided by Rule 12b-25.
