Temple Hotels Inc. announces filing of Base Shelf Prospectus

WINNIPEG, Nov. 4, 2013 /CNW/ - Temple Hotels Inc. ("Temple") (TSX: TPH) announced today that on November 1, 2013 a final short form base shelf prospectus (the "Base Shelf Prospectus") was filed with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, other than the Province of Quebec (the "Qualifying Jurisdictions").

The Base Shelf Prospectus allows Temple to offer common shares, subscription receipts, warrants and debt securities (collectively, the "Securities"), or any combination thereof, up to an aggregate offering price of $200 million during the 25-month period that the Base Shelf Prospectus remains effective. Securities may be offered separately or together, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined based on market conditions at the time of sale and set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement filed with securities regulatory authorities in the Qualifying Jurisdictions and delivered with the Base Shelf Prospectus to purchasers of Securities. Among other potential uses, Temple may use the net proceeds from the sale of Securities to fund the purchase of hotel properties or entities which own and operate hotel properties and/or other permitted investments; to repay indebtedness outstanding from time to time; to fund capital expenditures; and/or for other general corporate purposes.

Temple has filed the Base Shelf Prospectus to maintain financial flexibility and to have the ability to offer the Securities on an accelerated basis pursuant to prospectus supplements filed over the 25-month time frame. There is no certainty that any Securities will be offered or sold under the Base Shelf Prospectus within the 25-month period.
