At the Special Meeting, the Company’s shareholders voted on three matters (except that holders of the Series E preferred stock only voted upon the first matter described below):

(1) to adopt and approve (a) the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of July 19, 2019, by and among the Company, Condor Hospitality Limited Partnership, a Virginia limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”, and together with the Company, the “Company Parties”), NHT Operating Partnership LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Parent”), NHT REIT Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Merger Sub”), and NHT Operating Partnership II, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Merger OP” and, together with Parent and Merger Sub, the “Parent Parties”), pursuant to which Parent will acquire the Company through (i) a merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger (the “Company Merger”), and (ii) a merger of Merger OP with and into the Operating Partnership, with Merger OP surviving the merger (the “Partnership Merger”, and with the Company Merger, the “Mergers”) and (b) the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company Merger (collectively, the “Merger Proposal”);

(2) a proposal to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the specified compensation that may be paid or become payable to our named executive officers in connection with the Company Merger (the “Advisory Compensation Proposal”); and

(3) a proposal to approve one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, including to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Merger Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

The final voting results for each proposal are set forth below.

Proposal One: The Merger Proposal was approved by the requisite votes of the holders of the Company’s common stock and holders of the Company’s Series E preferred stock. The voting results regarding this proposal are as follows:
