HT’s ability to sell a property. These factors and any others that would impede NHT’s ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of its properties could significantly affect NHT’s financial condition and operating results and decrease the amount of cash available for distribution to NHT’s unitholders. Additionally, franchisors need to approve replacement franchisees upon a sale and there is no assurance NHT will be able to locate buyers who are approved franchisees.

Tax-Related Risk Factors

Canadian Tax Risks

a.NHT’s taxable status on its worldwide income in both Canada and the U.S. could affect the amount of funds it has available for distribution — NHT is resident in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act and is treated as a domestic corporation in the U.S. under the Code. As a result, NHT is generally taxable on its worldwide income in both Canada and the U.S. However, in both jurisdictions, NHT generally will not be subject to tax on the portion of its income that it distributes to its unitholder (subject to certain limitations and exceptions). Management of the Company is of the view that the status of NHT as taxable in both Canada and the U.S. is not likely to give rise to any material adverse consequences in the future as it is not anticipated that NHT will be subject to material income tax in either Canada or the U.S. Nevertheless, NHT’s status as taxable on its worldwide income in both Canada and the U.S. could, in certain circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the Company and investors. As a result of NHT being resident in both Canada and the U.S., withholding taxes of both Canada and the U.S. will be relevant to distributions by NHT and could result in double taxation to certain investors in NHT and other consequences. 

b.There can be no assurance that Canadian federal income tax laws respecting mutual fund trusts will not be changed in a way that adversely affects NHT — NHT intends to qualify as a “unit trust” and a “mutual fund trust” for purposes of the Tax Act. There can be no assurance that Canadian federal income tax laws and the administrative policies and practices of the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") respecting the treatment of mutual fund trusts will not be changed in a manner that adversely affects NHT and the Company. Should NHT cease to qualify as a mutual fund trust under the Tax Act, current Canadian income tax considerations could be materially and adversely different in certain respects.
