Item 8.01. Other Events.

On April 26, 2011, FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (“ FelCor ”) and its subsidiary, FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership (“ FelCor LP ”), issued a press release announcing their intention to offer privately $500 million of senior secured notes, a copy of which press release is attached to this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

As previously disclosed, on April 1, 2011, FelCor sold 27.6 million shares of its common stock for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $159.0 million.

FelCor intends to use the net proceeds from the notes offering to fund the pending $140 million acquisition of Royalton and Morgans in midtown Manhattan and otherwise, together with the proceeds from the equity offering, for general corporate purposes (including, among other things, repaying existing indebtedness, which may include redemption of a portion our outstanding 10% Notes with proceeds from the equity offering, and future hotel acquisitions). Pending permanent application of the net proceeds from that offering, they may be invested in short-term, interest-bearing investments.
