JOHN F. CARTER was named after John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th Presidentof the United States. Mr. Carter has spent countless years studying hisnamesake, carrying with him the same sense of strength, leadership, andperseverance. The Kennedy family have been life-long summer residents ofMartha’s Vineyard. During the times of the Inkwell’s emergence, the Kennedyswere known to use “The Vineyard” as a meeting place with African Americansrich and poor to bridge gaps between races and to unite social classesthroughout the country.

ORIGIN STORY

Like the storied history that the Inkwell represents, CB Inkwell Hospitality Fund will play a pivotal role in transforming the industryinto one of inclusion, creating growth for African Americans and instilling a sense of pride through ownership, investment,franchise, and management opportunities. THE INKWELL

references popular beaches situated along the Atlantic seaboard and across the U.S. frequented by African Americans beginning in the late 19th century. Its most famous beach is in Oak Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, a historic African American summer resort community which transformed this odious nickname into an emblem of true African American pride.

Like the storied history that the Inkwellrepresents, CB Inkwell Hospitality Fundwill play a pivotal role in transformingthe industry into one of inclusion,creating growth for African Americansas well as instilling a sense of pridethrough ownership, investment, andmanagement opportunities.

THE CHALLENGEThe $218 billion U.S. hospitality industry is full of opportunity,but African Americans remain significantly underrepresentedas investors, owners, and franchisees:

THE STRATEGYSeasoned African American entrepreneur and executive John F.Carter will lead the CB Inkwell Hospitality Fund. In addition totargeting attractive returns for investors, Carter will lead byexample with respect to closing the opportunity gap for AfricanAmericans in the hospitality industry. The Inkwell Fund willcollaborate with Aimbridge Hospitality to actively recruitAfrican Americans to fill key property-level roles for Fundassets, such as General Manager and Director of Sales, with aview toward expanding the pipeline of future African Americanhotel owners and investors. In addition, the Fund will seek toincrease African American representation among hotel ownersand franchisees by directly providing capital to AfricanAmerican franchisees through joint ventures.

BIG BRANDS LOOKING FOR PARTNERS TO DRIVE DIVERSITY

Big brands – Marriott, Hilton, etc. – have diversity and inclusion programs in place to increase diversity of culture, staff, and partners. Examples of current efforts:

▪ Marriott has 800+ open hotels owned by women and diverse partners as of today

▪ It’s goal is to have 1,500 open hotels owned by women and diverse partners by 2020

▪ Marriott has been named one of the World’s Best Multinational Workplaces by Great Place to Work®, the world’s largest annual study of workplace excellence

Qualifying companies must be at least 51% owned,operated, and controlled by a member of one ofthe following minority groups:

But the marketplace must help close the opportunity gap, especially so more African Americans become senior managers, hotel owners, and franchisees.

DISCIPLINED, FOCUSED INVESTMENT STRATEGY

TYPE OF INVESTMENTSThe Inkwell Fund generallywill acquire hotels outright,but has the flexibility to enterinto joint ventures with third-party sponsors, with a focuson African Americans.

The Inkwell Fund will seek to acquire existing hotels with current cash flow and the opportunity to enhance value through any combination of:

(e.g., economies of scale associated with Aimbridge purchasing power)

(e.g., executing a Property Improvement Plan, aka a “PIP,” including scope negotiations with brands and space enhancement)

(e.g., aggressively upgrading corporate and group sales efforts)

MARKET REPOSITIONING

ENHANCED OPERATIONS

PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENTS

▪ The Inkwell Fund will focus on acquisitions of select service hotels,categorized by Smith Travel Research (STR) as Upscale and UpperMidscale, in top four brand families

▪ The Fund will invest in standard brands associated with thesefranchisors as well as “soft” brands such as Curio by Hilton.

▪ On a case-by-case basis, the Fund may pursue acquisition of certain fullservice and select service hotels, categorized by STR as Upper Upscaleand midscale, that are particularly aligned with the Fund’s mission.

SIDECAR OPPORTUNITY

The Inkwell Fund will find many investment opportunitiesthat do not fit within the main Fund strategy. Theseopportunities may include:

▪ Development and redevelopment projects▪ HBCU-related projects▪ Other brands (e.g., luxury segment opportunities)▪ Investments in Opportunity Zones, which:

▪ Were created by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (2017)▪ Spur job creation in distressed communities▪ Comprise approximately 8700 areas in 50 states▪ Provide significant potential tax benefits▪ Require a longer hold period

If the Inkwell Fund likes an opportunity that falls outside ofthe primary investment strategy, we can create a sidecar co-investment vehicle. Fund investors who commit $25MM ormore will have the right to invest in such opportunities. Thegeneral partner will evaluate and present these opportunitiesto eligible limited partners on a case-by-case basis.

KEY TAKEAWAY The Fund anticipates significant sidecar deal flow.
