  1. Organization and Description of Business

Braemar Hotels & Resorts Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“Braemar”), is a Maryland corporation that invests primarily in high revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) luxury hotels and resorts. High RevPAR, for purposes of our investment strategy, means RevPAR of at least twice the then-current U.S. national average RevPAR for all hotels as determined by STR, LLC. Braemar has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Braemar conducts its business and owns substantially all of its assets through its operating partnership, Braemar Hospitality Limited Partnership (“Braemar OP”). Terms such as the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Braemar Hotels & Resorts Inc. and, as the context may require, all entities included in its condensed consolidated financial statements.

We are advised by Ashford Hospitality Advisors LLC (“Ashford LLC” or the “Advisor”) through an advisory agreement. Ashford LLC is a subsidiary of Ashford Inc. All of the hotel properties in our portfolio are currently asset-managed by Ashford LLC. We do not have any employees. All of the services that might be provided by employees are provided to us by Ashford LLC.

We do not operate any of our hotel properties directly; instead, we contractually engage hotel management companies to operate them for us under management contracts. Remington Lodging & Hospitality, LLC (“Remington Hospitality”), a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., manages five of our 15 hotel properties as of June 30, 2025. Third-party management companies manage the remaining hotel properties.

Ashford Inc. also provides other products and services to us or our hotel properties through certain entities in which Ashford Inc. has an ownership interest. These products and services include, but are not limited to, design and construction services, debt placement and related services, broker-dealer and distribution services, audio visual services, real estate advisory and brokerage services, insurance policies covering general liability, workers compensation and business automobile claims, insurance claims services, hypoallergenic premium rooms, watersport activities, travel/transportation services and cash management services.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries of Braemar OP that as of June 30, 2025, own 15 hotel properties in seven states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (“USVI”). The portfolio includes 14 wholly-owned hotel properties and one hotel property that is owned through a partnership in which Braemar OP has a controlling interest. These hotel properties represent 3,807 total rooms, or 3,667 net rooms, excluding those attributable to our partner. As a REIT, Braemar is required to comply with limitations imposed by the Code related to operating hotels. As of June 30, 2025, 14 of our 15 hotel properties were leased by wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries that are treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) for federal income tax purposes (collectively, the TRS entities are referred to as “Braemar TRS”). One hotel property, located in the USVI, is owned by our USVI TRS. Braemar TRS then engages third-party or affiliated hotel management companies to operate the hotel properties under management contracts. Hotel operating results related to the hotel properties are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of June 30, 2025, 13 of the 15 hotel properties were leased by Braemar’s wholly-owned TRS and the one hotel property majority-owned through a consolidated partnership was leased to a TRS wholly-owned by such consolidated partnership. Each leased hotel is leased under a percentage lease that provides for each lessee to pay in each calendar month the base rent plus, in each calendar quarter, percentage rent, if any, based on hotel revenues. Lease revenue from Braemar TRS is eliminated in consolidation as of June 30, 2025. The hotel properties are operated under management contracts with Marriott Hotel Services, LLC (“Marriott”), Hilton Management LLC (“Hilton”), Four Seasons Hotels Limited (“Four Seasons”), Hyatt Corporation (“Hyatt”), The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. and its affiliates, each of which is also an affiliate of Marriott (“Ritz-Carlton”), and Remington Hospitality, which are eligible independent contractors under the Code.

  1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation—The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Braemar Hotels & Resorts Inc., its majority-owned subsidiaries, and its majority-owned entities in which it has a controlling interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated in these condensed consolidated financial statements. We have condensed

BRAEMAR HOTELS & RESORTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(unaudited)

or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe the disclosures made herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 12, 2025.

Braemar OP is considered to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”), as defined by authoritative accounting guidance. A VIE must be consolidated by a reporting entity if the reporting entity is the primary beneficiary because it has: (i) the power to direct the VIE’s activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. All major decisions related to Braemar OP that most significantly impact its economic performance, including but not limited to, operating procedures with respect to business affairs and any acquisitions, dispositions, financings, restructurings or other transactions with sellers, purchasers, lenders, brokers, agents and other applicable representatives, are subject to the approval of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Braemar OP General Partner LLC, its general partner. As such, we consolidate Braemar OP.

The following items affect reporting comparability of our historical condensed consolidated financial statements:

•Historical seasonality patterns at some of our hotel properties cause fluctuations in our overall operating results. Consequently, operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.

•On July 17, 2024, we sold the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. The operating results of the hotel property were excluded from our results of operations as of the disposition date.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards—In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU may be applied prospectively by providing the revised disclosures for the period ending December 31, 2025 and continuing to provide the pre-ASU disclosures for the prior periods, or the amendments may be applied retrospectively by providing the revised disclosures for all periods presented. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has not adopted this ASU. The adoption of this ASU is expected to only impact disclosures with respect to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses that requires more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the statement of operations.

In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 which amends the effective date of the new disaggregation of income statement expenses standard to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is still permitted. The amendments may be applied either: (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU: or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our disclosures.

Impairment Charges

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, no impairment charges were recorded.

Land Acquisition

On April 4, 2025, the Company acquired an eight acre parcel of land with an estimated fair value of $12.6 million. The consideration consisted of cash of approximately $5.5 million and a 25% equity interest in the acquiring entity (“CR JV”) with an estimated fair value of $1.8 million. CR JV also assumed a mortgage loan for the land with an estimated fair value of $5.4 million.

We accounted for this acquisition as an asset acquisition because substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired was concentrated in a group of similar identifiable assets. The cost of the acquisition including transaction costs was allocated to the individual asset acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis, which is considered a Level 3 valuation technique.

  1. Hotel Disposition

On July 17, 2024, the Company sold the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines for $165 million in cash, subject to customary pro-rations and adjustments. The Company owned an indirect 75% equity interest in the hotel property. Additionally, the Company repaid the $66.6 million mortgage loan secured by the hotel property. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $88.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

(collectively with the Company, Ashford Trust and each of Ashford Inc.’s, the Company’s and Ashford Trust’s respective affiliates (including Stirling Hotels & Resorts, Inc.) and any entity advised by Ashford Inc., the “Company Group”) entered into a Cooperation Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Blackwells Capital LLC, Blackwells Onshore I LLC, Blackwells Holding Co. LLC, Vandewater Capital Holdings, LLC, Blackwells Asset Management LLC, BW Coinvest Management I LLC and Jason Aintabi (collectively, the “Blackwells Parties”) regarding the withdrawal of the Blackwells Parties’ proxy campaign, dismissal of pending litigation involving the parties and certain other matters.

Concurrently and in connection with the Agreement, certain of the parties thereto have also entered into a Share Ownership Agreement (the “Share Ownership Agreement”) and a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which agreements the Company will provide to BW Coinvest I, LLC (“Borrower”) an unsecured loan (the “Loan”). The proceeds from the Loan will be used to reimburse Borrower for 70% of the amount expended by Borrower to purchase on the open market a total of 3,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Purchased Shares”) within six months of the date of Loan Agreement, at a price per Purchased Share not to exceed $10 and subject to the other limitations set forth therein. The Loan has a term of five years (the “Term”), is guaranteed by Jason Aintabi, Vandewater Capital Holdings, LLC, Blackwells Holding Co. LLC, and Blackwells Asset Management LLC and shall bear payment-in-kind interest during the Term at a rate equal to the sum of: (a) Term SOFR (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and (b) 3.00% (three hundred basis points) per annum. The Company has

agreed to reimburse Blackwells Capital LLC, in an amount agreed upon by the parties, for the Blackwells Parties’ reasonable due diligence expenses incurred on or prior to the date of the Share Ownership Agreement.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company has advanced approximately $8.1 million that has been used to purchase 3.5 million shares of Braemar common stock.

The note receivable is summarized in the table below (dollars in thousands):

Line Item Interest Rate June 30, 2025 December 31, 2024
Note receivable SOFR + 3.00% $ 8,590 $ 8,283

Interest income $ 155 $ — $ 307 $ —

We review receivables for impairment each reporting period. Under the model, the Company estimates credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument from the date of initial recognition of that instrument and is required to record a credit loss expense (or reversal) in each reporting period. Our assessment of impairment is based on considerable management judgment and assumptions. No impairment charges were recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

  1. Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Hierarchy—Our financial instruments measured at fair value either on a recurring or a non-recurring basis are classified in a hierarchy for disclosure purposes consisting of three levels based on the observability of inputs in the marketplace as discussed below:

•Level 1: Fair value measurements that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that we have the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities. Market price data generally is obtained from exchange or dealer markets.

•Level 2: Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

•Level 3: Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable. The circumstances for using these measurements include those in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

The fair value of interest rate caps are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates rose above the strike rates of the caps. Variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts and payments on the caps are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves (SOFR forward curves) and volatilities (Level 2 inputs). We also incorporate credit valuation adjustments (Level 3 inputs) to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk.

When a majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. However, when the valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties, which we consider significant (10% or more) to the overall valuation of our derivatives, the derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Transfers of inputs between levels are determined at the end of each reporting period. In determining the fair values of our derivatives at June 30, 2025, the SOFR interest rate forward curve (Level 2 inputs) assumed a downtrend from 4.322% to 3.130% for the remaining term of our derivatives. Credit spreads (Level 3 inputs) used in determining the fair values derivatives assumed an uptrend in nonperformance risk for us and all of our counterparties through the maturity dates.

Investment in securities includes mortgage-backed securities. These securities are classified as available for sale and are generally reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs where the Company obtains fair value measurements from an external pricing vendor. Prices received from the vendor are analyzed based on various sources of observable market data. If prices are

not within certain tolerance levels that are based on the asset type’s characteristics, the exception is researched and, if the price is not able to be validated, an alternate pricing vendor is utilized.

The amortized cost of the CMBS at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was $17.3 million and $42.3 million, respectively. The unrealized gain (loss) recognized as a change in other comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $(260,000) and $599,000, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company sold a portion of the CMBS with a par value of $25 million resulting in a realized loss of approximately $1.3 million included in “other income (expense)” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As a result of the sale, $68,000 of unrealized gain was reclassified to realized loss in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. There was no unrealized gain (loss) recognized as a change in other comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

  1. Summary of Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Determining the estimated fair values of certain financial instruments such as indebtedness requires considerable judgment to interpret market data. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts at which these instruments could be purchased, sold or settled.

  1. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership

Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership represent the limited partners’ proportionate share of equity and their allocable share of equity in earnings/losses of Braemar OP, which is an allocation of net income/loss attributable to the common unitholders based on the weighted average ownership percentage of these limited partners’ common units of limited partnership interest in the operating partnership (the “common units”) and units issued under our Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP units”) that are vested. Each common unit may be redeemed, by the holder, for either cash or, at our sole discretion, up to one share of our REIT common stock, which is either: (i) issued pursuant to an effective registration

BRAEMAR HOTELS & RESORTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(unaudited)

statement; (ii) included in an effective registration statement providing for the resale of such common stock; or (iii) issued subject to a registration rights agreement.

LTIP units, which are issued to certain executives and employees of Ashford LLC as compensation, generally have vesting periods of three years. Additionally, certain independent members of the board of directors have elected to receive LTIP units as part of their compensation, which are fully vested upon grant. Upon reaching economic parity with common units, each vested LTIP unit can be converted by the holder into one common unit which can then be redeemed for cash or, at our election, settled in our common stock. An LTIP unit will achieve parity with the common units upon the sale or deemed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of our operating partnership at a time when our stock is trading at a level in excess of the price it was trading on the date of the LTIP issuance. More specifically, LTIP units will achieve full economic parity with common units in connection with (i) the actual sale of all or substantially all of the assets of our operating partnership; or (ii) the hypothetical sale of such assets, which results from a capital account revaluation, as defined in the partnership agreement, for our operating partnership.

The compensation committee of our board of directors may authorize the issuance of Performance LTIP units to certain executive officers and directors from time to time. The award agreements provide for the grant of a target number of Performance LTIP units that will be settled in common units of Braemar OP, if, when and to the extent the applicable vesting criteria have been achieved following the end of the performance and service period, which is generally three years from the grant date. The performance awards will be eligible to vest, from 0% to 200% of target, based on achievement of certain performance targets over the three-year performance period. The performance criteria are based on performance conditions under the relevant literature. The corresponding compensation cost is recognized ratably over the service period for the award as the service is rendered, based on the applicable measurement date fair value of the award. The grant date fair value of the award may vary from period to period, as the number of performance grants earned may vary since the estimated probable achievement of certain performance targets may vary from period to period. As of June 30, 2025, there are 353,000 unvested Performance LTIP units.

As of June 30, 2025, there are approximately 429,000 issued and outstanding LTIP and Performance LTIP units. All LTIP and Performance LTIP units, other than approximately 353,000 Performance LTIP units issued in March 2023, had reached full economic parity with, and are convertible into, common units.

The following table presents the redeemable noncontrolling interests in Braemar OP (in thousands) and the corresponding approximate ownership percentage of our operating partnership:

June 30, 2025 December 31, 2024
Redeemable noncontrolling interests in Braemar OP (in thousands) $ 17,994 $ 29,964

We allocated net (income) loss to the redeemable noncontrolling interests as illustrated in the table below (in thousands):

Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2025 2024 2025 2024
Net (income) loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests in operating partnership $ 1,489 $ 1,919 $ 1,751 $ 1,623
Distributions declared to holders of common units, LTIP units and Performance LTIP units $ 271 $ 368 615 734

In June 2025, the Company exchanged approximately 1.5 million LTIP and Performance LTIP units for fully vested shares of the Company's common stock which resulted in no adjustments to equity-based compensation expense because the estimated fair value of the units immediately before the exchange was equal to the estimated fair value of the common stock immediately after the exchange. The exchange was accounted for in the same manner as a redemption by the holder of common units that was settled by the Company in shares of the Company's common stock, in which the greater of the historical cost or fair value of the underlying LTIP or Performance LTIP units as of the exchange date was reclassified from mezzanine equity to permanent equity.

Stock Repurchases—On May 3, 2024, the board of directors approved a new share repurchase program pursuant to which the board of directors granted a repurchase authorization to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate value of up to $50 million. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has not repurchased any common stock pursuant to this program.

Restricted Stock—We incur stock-based compensation expense in connection with restricted stock awarded to certain employees of Ashford LLC and its affiliates. We also issue common stock to certain of our independent directors, which vests immediately upon issuance.

Performance Stock Units—The compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company may authorize the issuance of grants of performance stock units (“PSUs”) to certain executive officers and directors from time to time. The award agreements provide for the grant of a target number of PSUs that will be settled in shares of common stock of the Company, if, when and to the extent the applicable vesting criteria have been achieved following the end of the performance and service period, which is generally three years from the grant date. The compensation committee utilizes a performance metric, pursuant to which, the performance awards will be eligible to vest, from 0% to 200% of target, based on achievement of certain performance targets over the three-year performance period. The performance criteria are based on performance conditions under the relevant literature and were issued to non-employees. The corresponding compensation cost is recognized ratably over the service period for the award as the service is rendered, based on the corresponding measurement date fair value of the award, which may vary from period to period, as the number of performance grants earned may vary since the estimated probable achievement of certain performance targets may vary from period to period.

  1. Redeemable Preferred Stock

5.50% Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock

Each share of our 5.50% Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock”) is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into a number of whole shares of common stock at a conversion price of $18.70 (which represents a conversion rate of 1.3372 shares of our common stock, subject to certain adjustments). The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is also subject to conversion upon certain events constituting a change of control. Holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock have no voting rights, subject to certain exceptions. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock dividend for all issued and outstanding shares is set at $1.375 per annum per share.

The Company may, at its option, cause the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted in whole or in part, on a pro-rata basis, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion price, provided that the “Closing Bid Price” (as defined in the Articles Supplementary) of the Company’s common stock shall have equaled or exceeded 110% of the conversion price for the immediately preceding 45 consecutive trading days ending three days prior to the date of notice of conversion.

Additionally, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock contains cash redemption features that consist of: 1) an optional redemption in which the Company may redeem shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends; 2) a special optional redemption, in which on or prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Articles Supplementary), the Company may redeem shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share; and 3) a “REIT Termination Event” and “Listing Event Redemption,” in which at any time (i) a REIT Termination Event (as defined below) occurs or (ii) the Company’s common stock fails to be listed on the NYSE, NYSE American, or NASDAQ, or listed or quoted on an exchange or quotation system that is a successor thereto (each, a “National Exchange”), the holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right to require the Company to redeem any or all shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at 103% of the liquidation preference ($25.00 per share, plus any accumulated, accrued, and unpaid dividends) in cash.

A “REIT Termination Event,” shall mean the earliest of:

(i)    filing of a federal income tax return where the Company does not compute its income as a REIT;

(ii)    stockholders’ approval on ceasing to be qualified as a REIT;

(iii)    board of directors’ approval on ceasing to be qualified as a REIT;

(iv)    board’s determination based on the advice of counsel to cease to be qualified as a REIT; or

(v)    determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code to cease to be qualified as a REIT.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock does not meet the requirements for permanent equity classification prescribed by the authoritative guidance because of certain cash redemption features that are outside our control. As such, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is classified outside of permanent equity.

Series E Redeemable Preferred Stock

On April 2, 2021, the Company entered into equity distribution agreements with certain sales agents to sell, from time to time, shares of the Series E Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”). Pursuant to such equity distribution agreements, the Company offered a maximum of 20,000,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock in a primary offering at a price of $25.00 per share. On February 21, 2023, the Company announced the closing of its Series E Preferred Stock offering. The Company is also offering a maximum of 8,000,000 shares of the Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) at $25.00 per share (the “Stated Value”).

The Series E Preferred Stock ranks senior to all classes or series of the Company’s common stock and future junior securities, on a parity with each series of the Company’s outstanding preferred stock (the Series B Convertible Preferred stock,

BRAEMAR HOTELS & RESORTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(unaudited)

the Series D Preferred Stock and the Series M Preferred Stock (as defined below)) and with any future parity securities and junior to future senior securities and to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness, with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company’s affairs.

Holders of the Series E Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote for the election of directors of the Company and on all other matters requiring stockholder action by the holders of the common stock, each share being entitled to vote to the same extent as one share of the Company’s common stock, and all such shares voting together as a single class. If and whenever dividends on any shares of the Series E Preferred Stock shall be in arrears for 18 or more monthly periods, whether or not such quarterly periods are consecutive, the number of directors then constituting the board shall be increased by two and the holders of such shares of Series E Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class with all other classes or series of capital stock ranking on a parity with the Series E Preferred Stock) shall be entitled to vote for the election of the additional directors of the Company who shall each be elected for one-year terms.

Each share is redeemable at any time, at the option of the holder, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends, less a redemption fee. Starting on the second anniversary, each share is redeemable at any time, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends (with no redemption fee). The Series E Preferred Stock is also subject to conversion upon certain events constituting a change of control. Upon such change of control events, holders have the option to convert their shares of Series E Preferred Stock into a maximum of 5.69476 shares of our common stock.

The redemption fee shall be an amount equal to:

•8.0% of the stated value of $25.00 per share (the “Stated Value”) beginning on the Original Issue Date (as defined in the Articles Supplementary) of the shares of the Series E Preferred Stock to be redeemed;

•5.0% of the Stated Value beginning on the second anniversary from the Original Issue Date of the shares of the Series E Preferred Stock to be redeemed; and

•0% of the Stated Value beginning on the third anniversary from the Original Issue Date of the shares of the Series E Preferred Stock to be redeemed.

The Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to redeem the shares in cash, or in an equal number of shares of common stock or any combination thereof, calculated based on the closing price per share for the single trading day prior to the date of redemption.

The Series E Preferred Stock cash dividends are as follows:

•8.00% per annum of the Stated Value beginning on the date of the first settlement of the Series E Preferred Stock (the “Date of Initial Closing”);

•7.75% per annum of the Stated Value beginning on the first anniversary from the Date of Initial Closing; and

•7.50% per annum of the Stated Value beginning on the second anniversary from the Date of Initial Closing.

Dividends are payable on a monthly basis in arrears on the 15th day of each month (or, if such payment date is not a business day, the next succeeding business day) to holders of record at the close of business on the last business day of each month immediately preceding the applicable dividend payment date. Dividends will be computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year.

The Company has a DRIP that allows participating holders to have their Series E Preferred Stock dividend distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Series E Preferred Stock at a price of $25.00 per share.

The Series E Preferred Stock does not meet the requirements for permanent equity classification prescribed by the authoritative guidance because of certain cash redemption features that are outside of the Company’s control. As such, the Series E Preferred Stock is classified outside of permanent equity.

At the date of issuance, the carrying amount of the Series E Preferred Stock was less than the redemption value. As a result of the Company’s determination that redemption is probable, the carrying value will be adjusted to the redemption amount each reporting period.

Series M Redeemable Preferred Stock

On April 2, 2021, the Company entered into equity distribution agreements with certain sales agents to sell, from time to time, shares of the Series M Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series M Preferred Stock”). Pursuant to such equity distribution agreements, the Company offered a maximum of 20,000,000 shares of the Series M Preferred Stock (par value $0.01) in a primary offering at a price of $25.00 per share (or “Stated Value”).

The redemption fee shall be an amount equal to:

•1.5% of the Stated Value of $25.00 per share beginning on the Series M Original Issue Date (as defined in the Articles Supplementary) of the shares of Series M Preferred Stock to be redeemed; and

•0% of the Stated Value beginning on the first anniversary from the Series M Original Issue Date of the shares of Series M Preferred Stock to be redeemed.

The Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to redeem the shares in cash, or in an equal number of shares of common stock or any combination thereof, calculated based on the closing price per share for the single trading day prior to the date of redemption.

Holders of Series M Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at the initial rate of 8.2% per annum of the Stated Value of $25.00 per share (equivalent to an annual dividend rate of $2.05 per share). Beginning one year from the date of original issuance of each share of Series M Preferred Stock and on each one-year anniversary thereafter for such share of Series M Preferred Stock, the dividend rate shall increase by 0.10% per annum; provided, however, that the dividend rate for any share of Series M Preferred Stock shall not exceed 8.7% per annum of the Stated Value.

Dividends are payable on a monthly basis and in arrears on the 15th day of each month (or, if such payment date is not a business day, on the next succeeding business day) to holders of record at the close of business on the last business day of each month immediately preceding the applicable dividend payment date.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Restricted Cash—Under certain management and debt agreements for our hotel properties existing at June 30, 2025, escrow payments are required for insurance, real estate taxes and debt service. In addition, for certain properties based on the terms of the underlying debt and management agreements, we escrow 3% to 5% of gross revenues for capital improvements.

Franchise Fees—We currently have two hotel properties that operate under franchise agreements. The Cameo Beverly Hills franchise agreement has a 25-year term. The term begins upon the completion of conversion of the Cameo Beverly Hills. Under the terms of the agreement, we will pay: (i) 3% of gross rooms revenue for the preceding calendar month during the first three years of the agreement; (ii) 4% of gross rooms revenue for the preceding calendar month during year four; and (iii) 5% of the gross rooms revenue for the preceding calendar month for the remainder of the term. As of June 30, 2025, we are currently paying 3% of gross revenues for the Cameo Beverly Hills.

Under the franchise agreement for the Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile, we will pay franchisor royalty fees of 4.4% of gross rooms revenue. Additionally, we will pay a marketing fee of 1.5% of gross rooms revenue. This franchise agreement expires in 2041, with extension options.

The table below summarizes the franchise fees incurred (in thousands):

Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
Line Item 2025 2024 2025 2024
Other hotel expenses $ 453 $ 94 $ 523 $ 174

Management Fees—Under hotel management agreements for our hotel properties existing at June 30, 2025, we pay a monthly hotel management fee equal to the greater of approximately $17,000 per hotel (increased annually based on consumer price index adjustments) or 3% of gross revenues, or in some cases, 2.3% to 5.0% of gross revenues, as well as annual incentive management fees, if applicable. These management agreements expire from November 2029 through December 2065, with renewal options. If we terminate a management agreement prior to its expiration, we may be liable for estimated management fees through the remaining term, liquidated damages or, in certain circumstances, we may substitute a new management agreement. Our hotel management agreements also require that we fund property-level operating costs, including the hotel manager's payroll and related costs.

Income Taxes—We and our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the federal jurisdiction and various states. Tax years 2020 through 2024 remain subject to potential examination by certain federal and state taxing authorities.

Litigation—On December 20, 2016, a class action lawsuit was filed against one of the Company’s hotel management companies in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Contra Costa alleging violations of certain California employment laws, which class action affects two hotels owned by subsidiaries of the Company. The court has entered an order granting class certification with respect to: (i) a statewide class of non-exempt employees of our manager who were allegedly deprived of rest breaks as a result of our manager’s previous written policy requiring its employees to stay on premises during rest breaks; and (ii) a derivative class of non-exempt former employees of our manager who were not paid for allegedly missed breaks upon separation from employment. Notices to potential class members were sent out on February 2, 2021. Potential class members had until April 4, 2021 to opt-out of the class; however, the total number of employees in the class has not been definitively determined and is the subject of continuing discovery. The opt-out period has been extended until such time that discovery has concluded. In May 2023, the trial court requested additional briefing from the parties to determine whether the case should be maintained, dismissed, or the class de-certified. After submission of the briefs, the court requested that the parties submit stipulations for the court to rule upon. On February 13, 2024, the judge ordered the parties to submit additional briefing related to on-site breaks. A tentative settlement has been reached subject to the respective parties obtaining various approvals. As of June 30, 2025, the estimated settlement liability amount has been accrued.

On June 8, 2022, a lawsuit was filed against various Hilton entities on behalf of a class of all hourly employees at all Hilton-branded managed properties in California, including Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. The complaint includes claims for unpaid wages, meal and rest break violations, and unreimbursed business expenses, along with various derivative claims including wage statement, final pay, and Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”) claims. On November 30, 2023, Hilton mediated this litigation, but it did not result in a settlement. At the end of the mediation, the mediator submitted a mediator’s proposal for approximately $3.5 million, to which the parties have since agreed to. The allocation to Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines is approximately $401,000, which was accrued as of June 30, 2025. A hearing on a motion for preliminary approval of the settlement has been set for August 29, 2025.

On August 4, 2020, a lawsuit, Benjamin Zermeno v. Beverly Hills Marriott, was filed in Alameda County Superior Court as a PAGA representative action alleging various wage and hour violations of all Remington Hospitality managed California properties. The plaintiff’s individual claims were compelled to arbitration. On August 18, 2022, another lawsuit, Cristina Catalano v. Beverly Hills Marriott and Mr. C, was filed as a PAGA representative action alleging various wage and hour violations of all Remington Hospitality managed California properties. The co-defendant separately settled and the individual arbitration has also settled. A private mediation was held on December 27, 2024 to globally resolve the three outstanding matters. A tentative settlement was reached subject to the parties finalizing the agreement and court approval. As of June 30, 2025, the estimated settlement liability amount has been accrued.

We are also engaged in other legal proceedings that have arisen but have not been fully adjudicated. To the extent the claims giving rise to these legal proceedings are not covered by insurance, they relate to the following general types of claims: employment matters, tax matters and matters relating to compliance with applicable law (for example, the Americans with Disabilities Act and similar state laws). The likelihood of loss from these legal proceedings is based on the definitions within contingency accounting literature. We recognize a loss when we believe the loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. Based on the information available to us relating to these legal proceedings and/or our experience in similar legal proceedings, we do not believe the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, we had a cyber incident that resulted in the potential exposure of certain personal information. We have completed an investigation and have identified certain information that may have been exposed and notified potentially impacted individuals pursuant to applicable state guidelines. All systems have been restored. In February of 2024, two class action lawsuits were filed, one in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas and a second in the 68th District Court for Dallas County related to the cyber incident. The lawsuit filed in the 68th District Court was subsequently dismissed and refiled in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. On March 12, 2024, the court ordered the two cases be consolidated. The consolidated case is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The parties have reached an agreement, subject to final Court approval, to resolve the class action suit. The amount of the class settlement is approximately $485,000. The hearing for final Court approval of the settlement is scheduled for August 27, 2025.

Our assessment may change depending upon the development of any current or future legal proceedings, and the final results of such legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. If we ultimately do not prevail in one or more of these legal matters, and the associated realized losses exceed our current estimates of the range of potential losses, our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows could be materially adversely affected in future periods.

  1. Segment Reporting

We operate in one reportable business segment within the hotel lodging industry: direct hotel investments. Direct hotel investments refers to owning hotel properties through either acquisition or new development. We report operating results of direct hotel investments on an aggregate basis as substantially all of our hotel investments; (i) offer similar products and services to their customers in the form of hotel rooms, food and beverage, and ancillary services: (ii) utilize third-party hotel management companies to deliver its products and services to its customers; (iii) are designed and operated to appeal to similar individuals, groups, leisure, and business customers; and (iv) have third-party hotel managers that utilize the same methods (direct hotel sales and various online booking portals) to distribute the Company’s products and services. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, all of our hotel properties were in the U.S. and its territories. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its President and Chief Executive Officer.

Each hotel property derives revenue primarily from guestroom sales, food and beverage sales, and revenues from other lodging services and amenities. The accounting policies of each operating segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in note 2 of the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The CODM reviews and makes decisions on all aspects of the Company’s business using all available financial and non-financial data for each hotel individually. Capital allocation decisions to acquire, sell, enhance, redevelop, or perform renewal and replacement expenditures are determined on a hotel-by-hotel basis. Specifically, the CODM reviews the results of each hotel to assess the hotel’s profitability. The key measure the CODM uses to allocate resources and assess performance is individual hotel net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted to exclude certain items determined by management to not be reflective of its ongoing operating performance or incurred in the normal course of business (Hotel Adjusted EBITDA). The adjustments include gains and losses on hotel dispositions, impairment charges, pre-opening costs associated with extensive renovation projects, property-level legal settlements, restructuring, severance, and management transition costs, and other expenses identified by management to be non-recurring. The CODM does not regularly review asset information by segment.

Overview

We are a Maryland corporation formed in April 2013 that invests primarily in high revenue per available room (“RevPAR”), luxury hotels and resorts. High RevPAR, for purposes of our investment strategy, means RevPAR of at least twice the then-current U.S. national average RevPAR for all hotels as determined by STR, LLC. Two times the U.S. national average was $199 for the year ended December 31, 2024. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. We conduct our business and own substantially all of our assets through our operating partnership, Braemar OP.

We operate in the direct hotel investment segment of the hotel lodging industry. As of June 30, 2025, we owned interests in 15 hotel properties in seven states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands with 3,807 total rooms, or 3,667 net rooms, excluding those attributable to our joint venture partner. The hotel properties in our current portfolio are predominantly located in U.S. urban markets and resort locations with favorable growth characteristics resulting from multiple demand generators. We own 14 of our hotel properties directly and one hotel property through an investment in a majority-owned consolidated entity.

We are advised by Ashford Hospitality Advisors LLC through an advisory agreement. Ashford LLC is a subsidiary of Ashford Inc. All of the hotel properties in our portfolio are currently asset-managed by Ashford LLC. We do not have any employees. All of the services that might be provided by employees are provided to us by Ashford LLC.

We do not operate any of our hotel properties directly; instead, we contractually engage hotel management companies to operate them for us under management contracts. As of June 30, 2025, Remington Hospitality, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., managed five of our 15 hotel properties. Third-party management companies managed the remaining hotel properties.

Ashford Inc. also provides other products and services to us or our hotel properties through certain entities in which Ashford Inc. has an ownership interest. These products and services include, but are not limited to, design and construction services, debt placement and related services, broker-dealer and distribution services, audio visual services, real estate advisory and brokerage services, insurance policies covering general liability, workers compensation and business automobile claims, insurance claims services, hypoallergenic premium rooms, watersport activities, travel/transportation services and cash management services.

Mr. Monty J. Bennett, chairman of our board of directors and chairman and chief executive officer of Ashford Inc. and his father, Mr. Archie Bennett, Jr. (together, the “Bennetts”), as of June 30, 2025, hold a controlling interest in Ashford Inc. The Bennetts owned approximately 809,937 shares of Ashford Inc. common stock, which represented an approximate 51.5% ownership interest in Ashford Inc., and owned 18,758,600 shares of Ashford Inc. Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, which, along with all unpaid accrued and accumulated dividends thereon, was convertible (at a conversion price of $117.50 per share) into an additional approximate 4,482,564 shares of Ashford Inc. common stock, which if converted as of June 30, 2025, would have increased the Bennetts’ ownership interest in Ashford Inc. to 87.4%. The 18,758,600 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock owned by Mr. Monty J. Bennett and Mr. Archie Bennett, Jr. include 360,000 shares owned by trusts. Additionally, Mr. Monty J. Bennett acquired the right to direct votes, effective March 25, 2025, and as of June 30, 2025 those rights represented approximately 565,000 common shares.

As of June 30, 2025, Mr. Monty J. Bennett and Mr. Archie Bennett, Jr., together owned approximately 2,825,398 shares of our common stock (including common units, LTIP and performance LTIP units), which represented an approximate 3.8% ownership in the Company.

Recent Developments

On April 1, 2025, Ms. Kellie Sirna was appointed to serve on our board of directors, effective immediately, to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company or until her successor is duly elected and qualified. The board of directors has determined that Ms. Sirna is an independent director under NYSE listing standards and the Company’s corporate governance guidelines.

On May 5, 2025, the Company completed the transition of the 415-room Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile from a brand-managed hotel to a franchise structure. Under the franchise structure, the hotel will continue to be the Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile, but will be managed by Remington Hospitality under the existing terms of its Master Hotel Management Agreement. The management agreement with Remington Hospitality is terminable upon the sale of the hotel. The Company plans to renovate the lobby, restaurant, and meeting space over the next two years.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We are currently assessing the full effects of the legislation on our effective tax rate and cash tax position, but the changes resulting from the tax provisions in the OBBBA are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On July 25, 2025, we amended the mortgage loan secured by The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe. Terms of the amendment included extending the maturity date from July 2025 to July 2026.

On August 7, 2025, we sold the Marriott Seattle Waterfront hotel pursuant to an Agreement of Purchase and Sale, entered into effective July 3, 2025, for $145 million in cash, subject to customary pro-rations and adjustments. Additionally, the Company repaid approximately $88.4 million on the mortgage loan that was partially secured by the hotel property.

Key Indicators of Operating Performance

We use a variety of operating and other information to evaluate the operating performance of our business. These key indicators include financial information that is prepared in accordance with GAAP, as well as other financial measures that are non-GAAP measures. In addition, we use other information that may not be financial in nature, including statistical information and comparative data. We use this information to measure the operating performance of our individual hotels, groups of hotels and/or business as a whole. We also use these metrics to evaluate the hotels in our portfolio and potential acquisitions to determine each hotel’s contribution to cash flow and its potential to provide attractive long-term total returns. These key indicators include:

•Occupancy. Occupancy means the total number of hotel rooms sold in a given period divided by the total number of rooms available. Occupancy measures the utilization of our hotels’ available capacity. We use occupancy to measure demand at a specific hotel or group of hotels in a given period.

•ADR. ADR means average daily rate and is calculated by dividing total hotel rooms revenues by total number of rooms sold in a given period. ADR measures average room price attained by a hotel and ADR trends provide useful information concerning the pricing environment and the nature of the customer base of a hotel or group of hotels. We use ADR to assess the pricing levels that we are able to generate.

•RevPAR. RevPAR means revenue per available room and is calculated by multiplying ADR by the average daily occupancy. RevPAR is one of the commonly used measures within the hotel industry to evaluate hotel operations. RevPAR does not include revenues from food and beverage sales or parking, telephone or other non-rooms revenues generated by the property. Although RevPAR does not include these ancillary revenues, it is generally considered the leading indicator of core revenues for many hotels. We also use RevPAR to compare the results of our hotels between periods and to analyze results of our comparable hotels (comparable hotels represent hotels we have owned for the entire period). RevPAR improvements attributable to increases in occupancy are generally accompanied by increases in most categories of variable operating costs. RevPAR improvements attributable to increases in ADR are generally accompanied by increases in limited categories of operating costs, such as management fees and franchise fees.

RevPAR changes that are primarily driven by changes in occupancy have different implications for overall revenues and profitability than changes that are driven primarily by changes in ADR. For example, an increase in occupancy at a hotel would lead to additional variable operating costs (including housekeeping services, utilities and room supplies) and could also result in

increased other operating department revenue and expenses. Changes in ADR typically have a greater impact on operating margins and profitability as they do not have a substantial effect on variable operating costs.

Occupancy, ADR and RevPAR are commonly used measures within the lodging industry to evaluate operating performance. RevPAR is an important statistic for monitoring operating performance at the individual hotel level and across our entire business. We evaluate individual hotel RevPAR performance on an absolute basis with comparisons to budget and prior periods, as well as on a regional and company-wide basis. ADR and RevPAR include only rooms revenue. Rooms revenue is dictated by demand (as measured by occupancy), pricing (as measured by ADR) and our available supply of hotel rooms.

We also use funds from operations (“FFO”), Adjusted FFO, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate (“EBITDAre”) and Adjusted EBITDAre as measures of the operating performance of our business. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Rooms Revenue.

(1)This hotel was under renovation during the 2025 quarter.

(2)This hotel was under renovation during the 2024 quarter.

Food and Beverage Revenue. Food and beverage revenue decreased $2.0 million, or 4.2%, to $45.6 million during the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter. This decrease is attributable to a decrease of $4.8 million at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines as a result of its sale on July 17, 2024 and a decrease of $2.6 million at Capital Hilton, The Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas, Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa, Cameo Beverly Hills and The Notary Hotel. These decreases were partially offset by an aggregate increase of $5.4 million at 10 comparable hotel properties.

Other Hotel Revenue. Other hotel revenue, which consists mainly of condo management fees, health center fees, resort fees, golf, telecommunications, parking and rentals, decreased $115,000, or 0.5%, to $23.7 million during the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter. This decrease is attributable to an aggregate decrease in other hotel revenue of $663,000 at Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa, Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale, Cameo Beverly Hills, The Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas, Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile and Hotel Yountville and a decrease of $1.5 million due to the sale of Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, partially offset by an aggregate increase of $2.0 million at nine comparable hotel properties.

Rooms Expense. Rooms expense decreased $191,000, or 0.7%, to $27.3 million in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter. This decrease is primarily attributable to an aggregate decrease of $306,000 at six comparable hotel properties and a decrease of $1.5 million due to the sale of Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, partially offset by an aggregate increase of $1.6 million at The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach, Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale, The Clancy, The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe, Marriott Seattle Waterfront, The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota, Capital Hilton and The Notary Hotel.

Food and Beverage Expense. Food and beverage expense decreased $897,000, or 2.4%, to $35.8 million during the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter. This decrease is attributable to an aggregate decrease of $678,000 at six comparable hotel properties and a decrease of $2.4 million due to the sale of Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, partially offset by an aggregate increase of $2.2 million at The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe, Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale, The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach, The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota, Marriott Seattle Waterfront, Pier House Resort & Spa, The Notary Hotel, The Clancy and Capital Hilton.

Other Operating Expenses. Other operating expenses decreased $1.7 million, or 2.9%, to $56.4 million in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter. Hotel operating expenses consist of direct expenses from departments associated with revenue streams and indirect expenses associated with support departments and incentive management fees.

We experienced an increase of $240,000 in direct expenses and a decrease of $2.0 million in indirect expenses and incentive management fees in the 2025 quarter as compared to the 2024 quarter. Direct expenses were 4.6% of total hotel revenue in the 2025 quarter and 4.2% in the 2024 quarter.

The increase in direct expenses is associated with higher direct expenses of approximately $587,000 at nine comparable hotel properties, partially offset by lower direct expenses of $212,000 due to the sale of Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines and an aggregate decrease of approximately $135,000 at Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa, The Clancy, Bardessono Hotel and Spa, Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile, Capital Hilton and Hotel Yountville.

The decrease in indirect expenses comprises decreases in: (i) incentive management fees of $1.1 million comprising an aggregate decrease of $1.0 million at our 15 comparable hotel properties and a decrease of $132,000 at the one disposed hotel property; (ii) lease expense of $926,000 comprising a decrease of $1.0 million at the one disposed hotel property partially offset by an aggregate increase of $87,000 at our 15 comparable hotel properties; (iii) general and administrative costs of $101,000 comprising a decrease of $936,000 at the one disposed hotel property partially offset by an aggregate increase of $835,000 at our 15 comparable hotel properties; and (iv) marketing costs of $67,000 comprising a decrease of $975,000 at the one disposed hotel property partially offset by an aggregate increase of $908,000 at our 15 comparable hotel properties. These decreases were partially offset by increases in: (i) repairs and maintenance of $170,000 comprising an aggregate increase of $505,000 at our 15 comparable hotel properties partially offset by a decrease of $335,000 at the one disposed hotel property; and (ii) energy costs of $112,000 comprising an aggregate increase of $552,000 at our 15 comparable hotel properties, partially offset by a decrease of $440,000 at the one disposed hotel property.

Management Fees. Base management fees decreased $527,000, or 8.7%, to $5.5 million in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter. Base management fees decreased by $382,000 at seven comparable hotel properties and by $424,000 at the one disposed hotel property. These decreases were partially offset by an aggregate increase of $279,000 at Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile, The Notary Hotel, The Clancy, Marriott Seattle Waterfront, Pier House Resort & Spa, The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe, The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach and Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale.

Property Taxes, Insurance and Other. Property taxes, insurance and other decreased $2.2 million, or 21.5%, to $7.9 million in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter. The decrease is primarily attributable to an aggregate decrease of approximately $1.7 million at ten comparable hotel properties and a decrease of $766,000 at the one disposed hotel property. These decreases were partially offset by an aggregate increase of approximately $261,000 at the Capital Hilton, Bardessono Hotel and Spa, Cameo Beverly Hills, Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale and The Notary Hotel.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased $1.3 million, or 5.4%, to $23.4 million in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter. There was an aggregate decrease of $2.2 million at seven comparable hotel properties and a decrease of $1.1 million at the one disposed hotel property, partially offset by an aggregate increase of $1.9 million at The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe, Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa, Ritz Dorado Beach, Cameo Beverly Hills, Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale, Hotel Yountville, The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota and Bardessono Hotel and Spa.

Advisory Services Fee. Advisory services fee decreased $637,000, or 8.1%, to $7.2 million in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter due to decreases of $934,000 in equity-based compensation and $460,000 in the incentive fee, partially offset by increases of $616,000 in reimbursable expenses and $141,000 in the base advisory fee.

In the 2025 quarter, we recorded an advisory services fee of $7.2 million, which included reimbursable expenses of $3.6 million, a base advisory fee of $3.5 million, incentive fee of $188,000 and a credit to expense of $51,000 associated with equity grants of our common stock and LTIP units awarded to the officers and employees of Ashford Inc.

In the 2024 quarter, we recorded an advisory services fee of $7.8 million, which included a base advisory fee of $3.3 million, reimbursable expenses of $3.0 million, equity-based compensation of $883,000 and an incentive fee of $648,000.

Corporate General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative was a credit to expense of $2.3 million in the 2025 quarter as compared to expense of $4.5 million in the 2024 quarter. The decrease in corporate general and administrative expense is primarily due to a $5.0 million insurance recovery for prior legal expenses, a decrease in professional fees of $1.9 million and miscellaneous expenses of $251,000, partially offset by an increase in public company costs of $375,000.

Equity in Earnings (Loss) of Unconsolidated Entity. In the 2025 quarter and 2024 quarter, we recorded equity in loss of unconsolidated entity of $0 and $85,000, respectively, related to our investment in OpenKey.

Other Income (Expense). Other expense was $1.3 million in the 2025 quarter due to a realized loss on the sale of a portion of CMBS.

Interest Income. Interest income was $1.5 million and $1.1 million in the 2025 quarter and 2024 quarter, respectively. The increase in interest income in the 2025 quarter was primarily attributable to higher cash balances in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter as well as interest income associated with a tranche of CMBS included in investment in securities.

Interest Expense and Amortization of Loan Costs. Interest expense and amortization of loan costs decreased $1.9 million, or 7.1%, to $25.4 million in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter. This decrease is primarily due to lower interest expense from lower average interest rates. The average SOFR rates for the 2025 quarter and the 2024 quarter were 4.33% and 5.33%, respectively.

Write-off of Loan Costs and Exit Fees. Write-off of loan costs and exit fees was $3,000 in the 2025 quarter. Write-off of loan costs and exit fees was $82,000 in the 2024 quarter, primarily related to various loan modifications.

Gain (loss) on Extinguishment of Debt. In 2024 quarter, we recognized a loss of $22,000 attributable to the discount associated with the Cameo Beverly Hills mortgage loan that was repaid on April 9, 2024. There was no such gain (loss) recognized in the 2025 quarter.

Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Derivatives. Realized and unrealized gain on derivatives of $15,000 for the 2025 quarter consisted of a realized gain of $180,000 associated with payments received from counterparties on in-the-money interest rate caps, partially offset by an unrealized loss on interest rate caps of approximately $165,000.

Realized and unrealized gain on derivatives of $326,000 for 2024 quarter consisted of a realized gain of $1.5 million associated with payments received from counterparties on in-the-money interest rate caps, partially offset by an unrealized loss on interest rate caps of approximately $1.2 million.

Income Tax (Expense) Benefit. Income tax benefit increased $231,000, from $114,000 in the 2024 quarter to $345,000 in the 2025 quarter. This increase was primarily due to a decrease in the taxable income of certain of our TRS entities in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter.

(Income) Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Entities. Our noncontrolling interest partners in consolidated entities were allocated income of $115,000 and loss of $303,000 in the 2025 quarter and the 2024 quarter, respectively. At June 30, 2025, noncontrolling interest in consolidated entities represented an ownership interest of 25% in one hotel property held by one entity and a 25% ownership interest in a JV. At June 30, 2024, noncontrolling interest in consolidated entities represented an ownership interest of 25% in two hotel properties held by one entity.

Net (Income) Loss Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership. Noncontrolling interests in operating partnership were allocated a net loss of $1.5 million and $1.9 million in the 2025 quarter and the 2024 quarter, respectively. Redeemable noncontrolling interests in Braemar OP represented ownership interests of 8.51% and 8.02% as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(2)This hotel was under renovation during the 2024 period.

Food and Beverage Revenue. Food and beverage revenue decreased $3.8 million, or 3.7%, to $97.4 million during the 2025 period compared to the 2024 period. We experienced an aggregate decrease in food and beverage revenue of $3.5 million at six comparable hotel properties and a decrease of $8.9 million due to the sale of Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. These decreases were partially offset by an aggregate increase of approximately $8.6 million at The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe, Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale, The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota, The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach, The Notary Hotel, Marriott Seattle Waterfront, Pier House Resort & Spa, Bardessono Hotel and Spa and Hotel Yountville.

Other Hotel Revenue. Other hotel revenue, which consists mainly of condominium management fees, health center fees, resort fees, golf, telecommunications, parking and rentals, increased $845,000, or 1.7%, to $51.6 million during the 2025 period compared to the 2024 period. This increase is attributable to higher other hotel revenue of $4.5 million at ten comparable hotel properties. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $2.9 million due to the sale of Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines and an aggregate decrease of approximately $751,000 at Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa, The Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas, Hotel Yountville, The Clancy and Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile.

Rooms Expense. Rooms expense decreased $236,000, or 0.4%, to $55.5 million in the 2025 period compared to the 2024 period. This decrease is attributable to an aggregate decrease in rooms expense of $266,000 at Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile, Hotel Yountville and Pier House Resort & Spa, and a decrease of $2.8 million due to the sale of Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. These decreases were partially offset by an aggregate increase of $2.8 million at 12 comparable hotel properties.

Food and Beverage Expense. Food and beverage expense decreased $1.4 million, or 1.8%, to $76.0 million during the 2025 period compared to the 2024 period. This decrease is attributable to lower aggregate food and beverage expense of approximately $709,000 at The Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas, Cameo Beverly Hills, Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa, Hotel Yountville and Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile and a decrease of $4.6 million due to the sale of Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. These decreases were partially offset by an aggregate increase of approximately $3.9 million at ten comparable hotel properties.

Other Operating Expenses. Other operating expenses decreased $1.4 million, or 1.2%, to $116.8 million in the 2025 period compared to the 2024 period. Other operating expenses consist of direct expenses from departments associated with revenue streams and indirect expenses associated with support departments and incentive management fees.

We experienced a decrease of $71,000 in direct expenses and a decrease of $1.3 million in indirect expenses and incentive management fees in the 2025 period compared to the 2024 period. Direct expenses were 4.5% of total hotel revenue in the 2025 period and 4.4% in the 2024 period.

The decrease in direct expenses is associated with lower direct expenses of approximately $304,000 at eight comparable hotel properties and a decrease of $429,000 due to the sale of Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. These decreases were partially offset by higher direct expenses of $662,000 at The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota, Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale, The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach, The Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas, The Notary Hotel, Marriott Seattle Waterfront and Cameo Beverly Hills.

The decrease in indirect expenses is comprised of decreases in: (i) lease expense of $1.6 million comprising of a decrease of $1.7 million at the one disposed hotel property partially offset by an aggregate increase of $135,000 at our 15 comparable hotel properties; (ii) incentive management fees of $761,000 including $629,000 at our 15 comparable hotel properties and $132,000 at the one disposed hotel property; and (iii) marketing costs of $275,000 comprising an aggregate decrease of $1.9 million at the one disposed hotel property partially offset by an increase of $1.6 million at our 15 comparable hotel properties.

Management fees decreased $315,000 at six comparable hotel properties and $777,000 due to the sale of Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. These decreases were partially offset by an aggregate increase of $499,000 at The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach, Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale, The Clancy, The Notary Hotel, Marriott Seattle Waterfront, Pier House Resort & Spa, Capital Hilton, Bardessono Hotel and Spa and The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe.

Property Taxes, Insurance and Other. Property taxes, insurance and other decreased $2.4 million, or 11.6%, to $18.4 million in the 2025 period compared to the 2024 period. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease of $1.6 million due to the sale of Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines and an aggregate decrease of $1.5 million at nine comparable hotel properties. These decreases were partially offset by an aggregate increase of approximately $680,000 at six comparable hotel properties.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased $3.4 million, or 6.7%, to $46.8 million for the 2025 period compared to the 2024 period. This decrease is comprised of a decrease of $2.1 million due to the sale of Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines and an aggregate decrease of $5.3 million at The Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas, Capital Hilton, The Clancy, The Notary Hotel, Pier House Resort & Spa, Marriott Seattle Waterfront and Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile. These decreases were partially offset by an aggregate increase of $4.0 million at eight comparable hotel properties.

Advisory Services Fee. Advisory services fee decreased $726,000, or 5.0%, to $13.8 million in the 2025 period compared to the 2024 period due to lower equity-based compensation of $2.1 million and a lower incentive fee of $378,000, partially offset by higher reimbursable expenses of $1.4 million and a higher base advisory fee of $390,000.

In the 2025 period, we recorded an advisory services fee of $13.8 million, which included a base advisory fee of $7.1 million, reimbursable expenses of $6.6 million, an incentive fee of $270,000 and a credit to expense of $99,000 associated with equity grants of our common stock and LTIP units awarded to the officers and employees of Ashford Inc.

Corporate General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expense was $596,000 in the 2025 period and consisted of $3.1 million in professional fees, $1.6 million of public company costs and $839,000 in miscellaneous expenses. These expenses were partially offset by an expense reduction of $5.0 million from an insurance recovery for prior legal expenses.

Corporate general and administrative expense was $2.2 million in the 2024 period and consisted of $6.2 million in professional fees, $1.1 million in public company costs, and $602,000 in miscellaneous expenses. Additionally, during the 2024 period there was a revision to the estimated contribution amount associated with the Fourth Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement with Ashford Securities that resulted in a $5.6 million reduction to expense.

Equity in Earnings (Loss) of Unconsolidated Entity. There was no equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entity in the 2025 period as a result of impairing the OpenKey investment in the fourth quarter of 2024. In the 2024 period we recorded equity in loss of unconsolidated entity of $134,000 related to our investment in OpenKey.

Other Income (Expense). Other expense was $1.3 million in the 2025 period due to a realized loss from the sale of a portion of CMBS.

Interest Income. Interest income was $3.4 million and $1.9 million in the 2025 period and the 2024 period, respectively. The increase in interest income in the 2025 period was primarily attributable to interest income associated with a tranche of CMBS included in investment in securities in the 2025 period compared to the 2024 period, partially offset by lower excess cash balances.

Interest Expense and Amortization of Discounts and Loan Costs. Interest expense and amortization of discounts and loan costs decreased $3.6 million, or 6.7%, to $50.2 million for the 2025 period compared to the 2024 period. The decrease is primarily due to lower interest expense from lower average interest rates in the 2025 period partially offset by higher amortization of loan costs of approximately $2.1 million in the 2025 period compared to the 2024 period. The average SOFR rates for the 2025 period and the 2024 period were 4.34% and 5.33%, respectively.

Write-off of Loan Costs and Exit Fees. Write-off of loan costs and exit fees was $1.5 million in the 2025 period related to various loan refinances and modifications. Write-off of loan costs and exit fees was $803,000 in the 2024 period related to various loan modifications.

Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Derivatives. Realized and unrealized loss on derivatives of $183,000 for the 2025 period consisted of an unrealized loss on interest rate caps of $551,000, partially offset by a realized gain of $368,000 associated with payments received from counterparties on in-the-money interest rate caps.

Realized and unrealized gain on derivatives of $1.3 million for the 2024 period primarily consisted of an unrealized gain on warrants of $12,000 and a realized gain of $3.2 million associated with payments received from counterparties on in-the-money interest rate caps, partially offset by an unrealized loss on interest rate caps of approximately $2.0 million.

Income Tax (Expense) Benefit. Income tax expense decreased $216,000, from $1.3 million in the 2024 period to $1.1 million in the 2025 period. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the taxable income of certain of our TRS entities in the 2025 period compared to the 2024 period.

(Income) Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Entities. Our noncontrolling interest partners in consolidated entities were allocated income of $51,000 and a loss $1.0 million in the 2025 period and the 2024 period, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, noncontrolling interest in consolidated entities represented an ownership interest of 25% in one hotel property held by one entity and a 25% ownership interest in a JV. As of June 30, 2024, noncontrolling interest in consolidated entities represented an ownership interest of 25% in two hotel properties held by one entity.

Net (Income) Loss Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership. Noncontrolling interests in operating partnership were allocated a net loss of $1.8 million in the 2025 period and $1.6 million in the 2024 period. Redeemable noncontrolling interests represented ownership interests in Braemar OP of approximately 8.51% and 8.02% as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our hotel properties, including:

•advisory fees payable to Ashford LLC;

•recurring maintenance necessary to maintain our hotel properties in accordance with brand standards;

•interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness;

•dividends on our common stock;

•dividends on our preferred stock;

•redemptions of our non-traded preferred stock; and

•capital expenditures to improve our hotel properties.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through net cash provided by operations, capital market activities, asset sales and existing cash balances.

Pursuant to the advisory agreement between us and our Advisor, we must pay our Advisor on a monthly basis a base advisory fee, subject to a minimum base advisory fee. The minimum base advisory fee is equal to the greater of: (i) 90% of the base fee paid for the same month in the prior fiscal year; and (ii) 1/12th of the “G&A Ratio” for the most recently completed fiscal quarter multiplied by our total market capitalization on the last balance sheet date included in the most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q or annual report on Form 10-K that we file with the SEC. Thus, even if our total market capitalization and performance decline, we will still be required to make payments to our Advisor equal to the minimum base advisory fee, which could adversely impact our liquidity and financial condition.

Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the costs of acquiring additional hotel properties and redevelopments, renovations, expansions and other capital expenditures that need to be made periodically with respect to our hotel properties and scheduled debt payments. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, including future common and preferred equity issuances, existing working capital, net cash provided by operations, hotel mortgage indebtedness and other secured and unsecured borrowings. However, there are a number of factors that may have a material adverse effect on our ability to access these capital sources, the state of overall equity and credit markets, our degree of leverage, our unencumbered asset base and borrowing restrictions imposed by lenders (including as a result of any failure to comply with financial covenants in our existing and future indebtedness), general market conditions for REITs, our operating performance and liquidity and market perceptions about us. The success of our business strategy will depend, in part, on our ability to access these various capital sources. While management cannot provide any assurances, management believes that our cash flow from operations, our existing cash balances and investment in securities will be adequate to meet upcoming anticipated requirements for interest and principal payments on debt (excluding any potential final maturity principal payments and paydowns for extension tests), working capital, and capital expenditures for the next 12 months and dividends required to maintain our status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Our hotel properties will require periodic capital expenditures and renovations to remain competitive. In addition, acquisitions, redevelopments or expansions of hotel properties may require significant capital outlays. We may not be able to fund such capital improvements solely from net cash provided by operations because we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deductions for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, to qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT, and we are subject to tax on any retained income and gains. As a result, our ability to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions or hotel redevelopment through retained earnings is very limited. Consequently, we expect to rely heavily upon the availability of debt or equity capital for these purposes. If we are unable to obtain the necessary capital on favorable terms, or at all, our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

Certain of our loan agreements contain cash trap provisions that may be triggered if the performance of our hotel properties declines. When these provisions are triggered, substantially all of the profit generated by the hotel properties securing such loan is deposited directly into lockbox accounts and then swept into cash management accounts for the benefit of our various lenders. This could affect our liquidity and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders until such time that a cash trap is no longer in effect for such loan. These cash trap provisions have been triggered on one mortgage loan, as discussed below. Our loan that is in a cash trap may remain subject to the cash trap provisions for a substantial period of time which could limit our flexibility and adversely affect our financial condition or our qualification as a REIT. As of June 30, 2025, the mortgage loan secured by The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe was in a cash trap. The amount of cash in the cash trap as of June 30, 2025 was $0.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $80.2 million and restricted cash of $55.5 million, the vast majority of which is comprised of lender and manager-held reserves. As of June 30, 2025, $24.2 million was also due to the Company from third-party hotel managers, most of which is held by one of the Company’s managers and is available to fund hotel operating costs. As of June 30, 2025, our net debt to gross assets was 44.2%.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are primarily comprised of corporate cash invested in short-term U.S. Treasury securities with maturity dates of less than 90 days and corporate cash held at commercial banks in Insured Cash Sweep (“ICS”) accounts, which are fully insured by the FDIC. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents also includes property-level operating cash deposited with commercial banks that have been designated as a Global Systemically Important Bank (“G-SIB”) by the Financial Stability Board (“FSB”) and a small amount deposited with other commercial banks.

Equity Transactions

On November 13, 2019, we filed an initial registration statement with the SEC, as amended on January 24, 2020, for shares of our non-traded Series E Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”) and our non-traded Series M Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series M Preferred Stock”). The registration statement became effective on February 21, 2020, and contemplates the issuance and sale of up to 20,000,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock or Series M Preferred Stock in a primary offering and up to 8,000,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock or Series M Preferred Stock pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan. On February 25, 2020, we filed our prospectus with the SEC. Ashford Securities, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., serves as the dealer manager and wholesaler of the Series E Preferred Stock and Series M Preferred Stock. On April 2, 2021, the Company filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland (the “SDAT”) articles supplementary to the Company’s Articles of Amendment and Restatement that provided for: (i) reclassifying the existing 28,000,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock and 28,000,000 shares of Series M Preferred Stock as unissued shares of preferred stock; (ii) reclassifying and designating 28,000,000 shares of the Company’s authorized capital stock as shares of the Series E Preferred Stock (the “Series E Articles Supplementary”); and (iii) reclassifying and designating 28,000,000 shares of the Company’s authorized capital stock as shares of the Series M Preferred Stock (the “Series M Articles Supplementary”). The Series E Articles Supplementary and Series M Articles Supplementary were filed to revise the preferred stock terms related to the dividend rate, our optional redemption right and certain other voting rights. The Company also caused its operating partnership to execute Amendment No. 5 to the Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership to amend the terms of its operating partnership agreement to conform to the terms of the Series E Articles Supplementary and Series M Articles Supplementary. The Company issued approximately 16.4 million shares of Series E Preferred Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $369.5 million and issued approximately 2.0 million shares of Series M Preferred Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $47.6 million. On February 21, 2023, the Company announced the closing of its offering of the Series E Preferred Stock and Series M Preferred Stock.

On July 12, 2021, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Virtu July 2021 EDA”) with Virtu to sell from time-to-time shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100 million. We will pay Virtu a commission of approximately 1.0% of the gross sales price of the shares of our common stock sold. The Company may also sell some or all of the shares of our common stock to Virtu as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. As of August 6, 2025, the Company has sold approximately 4.7 million shares of common stock under the Virtu July 2021 EDA and received gross proceeds of approximately $24.0 million.

On May 3, 2024, our board of directors approved a new share repurchase program, pursuant to which the board of directors granted a repurchase authorization to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate value of up to $50 million. The Company may repurchase shares through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or other means. The timing and amount of any transactions will be subject to the discretion of the Company based upon market conditions, and the program may be suspended or terminated at any time by the Company at its discretion without prior notice. The board of directors’ authorization replaced any previous repurchase authorizations. As of August 6, 2025, the Company has not repurchased any common stock pursuant to the plan.

Debt Transactions

On January 14, 2025, the Company amended its mortgage loan secured by the 170-room Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe. The terms of the amendment included a $10.0 million principal pay down, extending the current maturity date to July 2025, an interest rate reduction to SOFR + 3.25%, and one six-month extension option subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. The mortgage loan had an initial maturity date in January 2025. The $43.4 million current mortgage loan amount represents an approximate 27% loan-to-value based on a third-party appraisal completed by the lender. The appraisal valued the hotel at $160 million based on its “as-is” value.

On March 7, 2025, the Company refinanced its $293.2 million mortgage loan secured by The Clancy, The Notary Hotel, Marriott Seattle Waterfront, and Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile, which had an interest rate of SOFR + 2.66% and a final maturity date in June of 2025 and its $62.0 million mortgage loan secured by The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach, which had an interest rate of SOFR + 4.75% and a final maturity date in March of 2026. The new $363.0 million mortgage loan bears interest at a floating interest rate of SOFR + 2.52% and has a two-year initial term with three one-year extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The mortgage loan is secured by five hotels: The Clancy, The Notary Hotel, Marriott Seattle Waterfront, Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile, and The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach. The $363.0 million mortgage loan amount represents an approximate 49% loan-to-value based on third-party appraisals completed by the lender. The appraisals valued the hotels at $742 million based on the sum of their “as-is” values.

On April 4, 2025, the Company assumed a $5.4 million term loan secured by a parcel of land. The assumed term loan is interest only, bears interest at WSJ Prime Rate, and matures in March 2026. This term loan has a floor of 4.99%.

On July 25, 2025, we amended the mortgage loan secured by The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe. Terms of the amendment included extending the maturity date from July 2025 to July 2026.

On August 7, 2025, we sold the Marriott Seattle Waterfront hotel pursuant to an Agreement of Purchase and Sale, entered into effective July 3, 2025, for $145 million in cash, subject to customary pro-rations and adjustments. Additionally, the Company repaid approximately $88.4 million on the mortgage loan that was partially secured by the hotel property.

Sources and Uses of Cash

We had approximately $80.2 million and $135.5 million of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We anticipate that our principal sources of funds to meet our cash requirements will include cash on hand, positive cash flow from operations and capital market activities.

Net Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities. Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $38.2 million and $60.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Cash flows from operations were impacted by changes in hotel operations and the disposition of a hotel property in the third quarter of 2024. Cash flows from operations are also impacted by the timing of working capital cash flows, such as collecting receivables from hotel guests, paying vendors, settling with related parties and settling with hotel managers.

Net Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash flows used in investing activities were $11.7 million. The cash outflows were primarily attributable to $33.0 million of capital improvements made to various hotel properties and acquisition of land of $5.5 million, partially offset by cash inflows of $23.8 million from sale of investment in securities and $3.1 million from property insurance proceeds. Our capital improvements consisted of approximately $23.2 million of return on investment capital projects and approximately $9.9 million of renewal and replacement capital projects.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash flows used in investing activities were $38.7 million. These cash outflows were primarily attributable to $39.2 million of capital improvements made to various hotel properties partially offset by cash inflows of $542,000 related to proceeds from property insurance. Our capital improvements consisted of approximately $28.6 million of return on investment capital projects and approximately $10.6 million of renewal and replacement capital projects.

Return on investment capital projects are designed to improve the positioning of our hotel properties within their markets and competitive sets. Renewal and replacement capital projects are designed to maintain the quality and competitiveness of our hotels.

Net Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash flows used in financing activities were $75.9 million. Cash outflows primarily consisted of $365.2 million of repayments of indebtedness, $40.7 million for cash redemptions of Series E and Series M preferred stock, $24.2 million of dividend and distribution

payments, $8.9 million of payments of loan costs and exit fees, $508,000 to purchase interest rate caps, and $92,000 from the redemption of operating partnership units. These cash outflows were partially offset by cash inflows of $363.0 million from borrowings on indebtedness, $424,000 of proceeds from in-the-money interest rate caps and a contribution of $306,000 from a noncontrolling interest holder in a consolidated entity.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash flows provided by financing activities were $6.9 million. Cash outflows primarily consisted of $30.0 million of repayments of indebtedness, $26.2 million of dividend and distribution payments, $1.3 million to purchase interest rate caps, $3.3 million of payments of loan costs and exit fees and $11.0 million for cash redemptions of Series E and Series M preferred stock. These cash outflows were partially offset by cash inflows of $62.0 million from borrowings on indebtedness and $3.3 million of proceeds from in-the-money interest rate caps.

Dividend Policy

On December 10, 2024, our board of directors approved the Company’s dividend policy for 2025. The Company expects to pay a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share for the Company’s common stock for 2025, or $0.20 per share on an annualized basis. On April 2, 2025, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2025. On July 10, 2025, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2025. The approval of our dividend policy does not commit our board of directors to declare future dividends with respect to any quantity or the amount thereof. The board of directors will continue to review its dividend policy on a quarter-to-quarter basis. For income tax purposes, distributions paid consist of ordinary income, capital gains, return of capital or a combination thereof.

Seasonality

Our properties’ operations historically have been seasonal as certain properties maintain higher occupancy rates during the summer months and some during the winter months. This seasonality pattern can cause fluctuations in our quarterly lease revenue under our percentage leases. Quarterly revenue also may be adversely affected by renovations and repositionings, our managers’ effectiveness in generating business and by events beyond our control, such as pandemics, extreme weather conditions, natural disasters, terrorist attacks or alerts, civil unrest, government shutdowns, airline strikes or reduced airline capacity, economic factors and other considerations affecting travel. To the extent that cash flows from operations and cash on hand are insufficient during any quarter due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in lease revenue, we expect to utilize borrowings to fund distributions required to maintain our REIT status. However, we cannot make any assurances that we will make distributions in the future.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our accounting policies that are critical or most important to understanding our financial condition and results of operations and that require management to make the most difficult judgments are described in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in these critical accounting policies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following non-GAAP presentations of EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, FFO and Adjusted FFO are presented to help our investors evaluate our operating performance.

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense and amortization of loan costs, depreciation and amortization, income taxes, equity in (earnings) loss of unconsolidated entity and after the Company’s portion of EBITDA of OpenKey. In addition, we exclude impairment on real estate, (gain) loss on disposition of assets and hotel property and the Company’s portion of EBITDAre of OpenKey from EBITDA to calculate EBITDA for real estate, or EBITDAre, as defined by NAREIT.

We then further adjust EBITDAre to exclude certain additional items such as amortization of favorable (unfavorable) contract assets (liabilities), transaction and conversion costs, other income/expense, write-off of loan costs and exit fees, gain/loss on insurance settlements, legal, advisory and settlement costs, advisory services incentive fee, gain/loss on extinguishment of debt, stock/unit-based compensation and the Company’s portion of adjustments to EBITDAre of OpenKey and non-cash items such as unrealized gain/ loss on derivatives.

We present EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre because we believe they are useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because they provide investors with an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to satisfy general operating expenses, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs or reinvest cash into our business. We also believe they help investors meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. Our management team also uses EBITDA as one measure in determining the value of acquisitions and dispositions. EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre as calculated by us may not be comparable to EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre reported by other companies that do not define EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre exactly as we define the terms. EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as determined by GAAP as an indicator of liquidity.

The following table reconciles net income (loss) to EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre (in thousands) (unaudited):

(1) Includes amounts associated with funding certain expenses of Ashford Securities LLC, which in 2024 included a true up of these expenses based on capital raised.

(2) Includes amounts related to a $5.0 million expense reduction in 2025 from an insurance recovery for prior legal expenses.

FFO is calculated on the basis defined by NAREIT, which is net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses on disposition of assets, plus impairment charges on real estate, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after redeemable noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership and adjustments for unconsolidated entities. NAREIT developed FFO as a relative measure of performance of an equity REIT to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined by GAAP. Our calculation of Adjusted FFO excludes transaction and conversion costs, other income/expense, write-off of premiums, loan costs and exit fees, legal, advisory and settlement costs, stock/unit-based compensation, severance, gain/loss on insurance settlements, gain/loss on extinguishment of debt, and non-cash items such as deemed dividends on redeemable preferred stock, interest expense accretion on refundable membership club deposits, amortization of loan costs, unrealized gain/loss on derivatives and the Company’s portion of adjustments to FFO of OpenKey. FFO and Adjusted FFO exclude amounts attributable to the portion of a partnership owned by the third party. We present FFO and Adjusted FFO because we consider FFO and Adjusted FFO important supplemental measures of our operational performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO and Adjusted FFO when reporting their results. FFO and Adjusted FFO are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO and Adjusted FFO exclude depreciation and amortization related to real estate assets, gains and losses from real property dispositions and impairment losses on real estate assets, FFO and Adjusted FFO provide performance measures that, when compared year over year, reflect the effect to operations from trends in occupancy, guestroom rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. We consider FFO and Adjusted FFO to be appropriate measures of our ongoing normalized operating performance as a REIT. We compute FFO in accordance with our interpretation of standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that either do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or interpret the NAREIT definition differently than us. FFO and Adjusted FFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income or loss as an indication of our financial performance or GAAP cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. FFO and Adjusted FFO are also not indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. However, to facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, we believe that FFO and Adjusted FFO should be considered along with our net income or loss and cash flows reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our primary market risk exposure consists of changes in interest rates on borrowings under our debt instruments that bear interest at variable rates that fluctuate with market interest rates. To the extent that we acquire assets or conduct operations in an international jurisdiction, we will also have currency exchange risk. We may enter into certain hedging arrangements in order to manage interest rate and currency fluctuations. The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market interest rates.

As of June 30, 2025, our total indebtedness of approximately $1.2 billion included approximately $1.1 billion of variable-rate debt. The impact on the results of operations of a 25-basis point change in the interest rate on the outstanding balance of variable-rate debt as of June 30, 2025, would be approximately $2.8 million per year. Interest rate changes have no impact on the remaining $86.3 million of fixed-rate debt.

The above amounts were determined based on the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our borrowings and assume no changes in our capital structure. The information presented above includes those exposures that existed as of June 30, 2025, but it does not consider exposures or positions that could arise after that date. Accordingly, the information presented herein has limited predictive value. As a result, the ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on exposures that arise during the period, the hedging strategies at the time, and the related interest rates.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2025. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that: (i) information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and (ii) information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On December 20, 2016, a class action lawsuit was filed against one of the Company’s hotel management companies in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Contra Costa alleging violations of certain California employment laws, which class action affects two hotels owned by subsidiaries of the Company. The court has entered an order granting class certification with respect to: (i) a statewide class of non-exempt employees of our manager who were allegedly deprived of rest breaks as a result of our manager’s previous written policy requiring its employees to stay on premises during rest breaks; and (ii) a derivative class of non-exempt former employees of our manager who were not paid for allegedly missed breaks upon separation from employment. Notices to potential class members were sent out on February 2, 2021. Potential class members had until April 4, 2021 to opt out of the class; however, the total number of employees in the class has not been definitively determined and is the subject of continuing discovery. The opt-out period has been extended until such time that discovery has concluded. In May 2023, the trial court requested additional briefing from the parties to determine whether the case should be maintained, dismissed, or the class de-certified. After submission of the briefs, the court requested that the parties submit stipulations for the court to rule upon. On February 13, 2024, the judge ordered the parties to submit additional briefing related to on-site breaks. A tentative settlement has been reached subject to the respective parties obtaining various approvals. As of June 30, 2025, the estimated settlement liability amount has been accrued.

On June 8, 2022 a lawsuit was filed against various Hilton entities on behalf of a class of all hourly employees at all Hilton-branded managed properties in California, including Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. The complaint includes claims for unpaid wages, meal and rest break violations, and unreimbursed business expenses, along with various derivative claims including wage statement, final pay, and Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”) claims. On November 30, 2023, Hilton mediated this litigation, but it did not result in a settlement. At the end of the mediation, the mediator submitted a mediator’s proposal for approximately $3.5 million, which the parties have since agreed to. The allocation to Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines is approximately $401,000, which was accrued as of June 30, 2025. A hearing on a motion for preliminary approval of the settlement has been set for August 29, 2025.

On August 4, 2020, a lawsuit, Benjamin Zermeno v. Beverly Hills Marriott, was filed in Alameda County Superior Court as a PAGA representative action alleging various wage and hour violations of all Remington Hospitality managed California properties. The plaintiff’s individual claims were compelled to arbitration. On August 18, 2022, another lawsuit, Cristina Catalano v. Beverly Hills Marriott and Mr. C, was filed as a PAGA representative action alleging various wage and hour violations of all Remington Hospitality managed California properties. The co-defendant separately settled and the individual arbitration has also settled. A private mediation was held on December 27, 2024 to globally resolve the three outstanding matters. A tentative settlement was reached subject to the parties finalizing the agreement and court approval. As of June 30, 2025, the estimated settlement liability amount has been accrued.

We are also engaged in other legal proceedings that have arisen but have not been fully adjudicated. To the extent the claims giving rise to these legal proceedings are not covered by insurance, they relate to the following general types of claims: employment matters, tax matters and matters relating to compliance with applicable law (for example, the Americans with Disabilities Act and similar state laws). The likelihood of loss from these legal proceedings is based on the definitions within contingency accounting literature. We recognize a loss when we believe the loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. Based on the information available to us relating to these legal proceedings and/or our experience in similar legal proceedings, we do not believe the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, we had a cyber incident that resulted in the potential exposure of certain personal information. We have completed an investigation and have identified certain information that may have been exposed and notified potentially impacted individuals pursuant to applicable state guidelines. All systems have been restored. In February of 2024, two class action lawsuits were filed, one in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas and a second in the 68th District Court for Dallas County related to the cyber incident. The lawsuit filed in the 68th District Court was subsequently dismissed and refiled in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. On March 12, 2024, the court ordered the two cases be consolidated. The consolidated case is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The parties have reached an agreement, subject to final Court approval, to resolve the class action suit. The amount of the class settlement is approximately $485,000. Ashford Inc. expects the entire settlement amount to be reimbursed through insurance coverage. The hearing for final Court approval of the settlement is scheduled for August 27, 2025.

Our assessment may change depending upon the development of any current or future legal proceedings, and the final results of such legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. If we ultimately do not prevail in one or more of these legal matters, and the associated realized losses exceed our current estimates of the range of potential losses, our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows could be materially adversely affected in future periods.

The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Property as follows: (i) $141,814,148 of the Purchase Price is allocated to the Real Property and Intangible Personal Property, and (ii) $3,185,852 of the Purchase Price is allocated to the Tangible Personal Property. In addition, at least five (5) business days prior to Closing, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of its proposed further allocation of the Purchase Price among the Real Property and the Intangible Personal Property. Seller and Purchaser agree to use good faith efforts to agree upon such further allocation. If Purchaser and Seller cannot agree upon such further allocation of the Purchase Price, the parties agree to file all transfer tax declarations based on the Purchaser’s determination of the allocations of the Purchase Price, but Seller shall not be required to file income tax returns on Purchaser’s determination of the tax allocation.

2.2.    Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be paid to Seller in the following manner:

(a)    Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the amount of the Deposit.

(b)    Purchaser shall pay the balance of the Purchase Price, as adjusted in the manner specified in Article VII and as set forth below, to Seller (or other party designated by Seller) at Closing by making a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to the account of Seller (or other party designated by Seller). Such wire transfer shall be

sent by Purchaser to the Escrow Agent for the account of Seller no later than 1:00 PM, Seattle, Washington time on the Closing Date.

2.3.    Deposit. Within one (1) business day after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow Agent a wire transfer or cashier’s or certified check in the sum of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (the “Initial Deposit”). If Purchaser fails to timely deposit the Initial Deposit with Escrow Agent, Seller shall be entitled, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Purchaser at any time before the Initial Deposit is delivered to Escrow Agent, in which event neither party shall have any obligations hereunder, except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. The Deposit shall be invested by Escrow Agent in a commercial bank or banks acceptable to Seller and Purchaser at money market rates, or in such other investments as shall be approved in writing by Seller and Purchaser. The Deposit shall be held and disbursed by Escrow Agent in strict accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. All accrued interest or other earnings on the Deposit shall become part of the Deposit. The Deposit shall be either (a) applied at the Closing against the Purchase Price, (b) returned to Purchaser pursuant hereto, or (c) paid to Seller pursuant hereto.

2.4.    Study Period. Purchaser shall have the right to perform such examinations, tests, investigations and studies of the Property as Purchaser reasonably deems advisable, subject to the terms of the Inspection Agreement, including, without limitation Section 2(f) of the Inspection Agreement, the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference and which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the second sentence of Section 2(b) of the Inspection Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Inspection Agreement, the parties agree that the Inspection Agreement shall remain in effect and shall govern Purchaser’s rights, responsibilities and obligations in connection with Purchaser’s access onto the Property through the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Closing Date.

(a)    Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser has (i) received a title insurance commitment issued by the Title Company covering the Real Property (the “Title Commitment”) and (ii) ordered an updated survey of the Real Property (the “Survey”). If any matters shown on such Survey (or any update to the Survey) or identified in the Title Commitment consist of Must-Cure Title Encumbrances, then, to that extent, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated to either (i) pay and discharge, (ii) bond against in a manner legally sufficient to cause to be released, or (iii) indemnify or escrow money with or otherwise cause the Title Company to insure over in a manner reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, such Must-Cure Title Encumbrances (individually and collectively, a “Must-Cure Encumbrance Release”). For such purposes, Seller may use all or a portion of the Purchase Price to effectuate a Must-Cure Encumbrance Release with respect to any such Must-Cure Title Encumbrances at the Closing. Other than as specifically required in this Agreement, Seller shall not be obligated to incur any expenses or incur any liability to cure any matters shown on such Survey (or any update to the Survey) or identified in the Title Commitment other than Must-Cure Title Encumbrances. Except as otherwise provided herein, Seller shall not,

after the date of this Agreement, voluntarily subject the Real Property to any liens, encumbrances, covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements or other title matters or seek any zoning changes without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that it shall not be considered unreasonable for Purchaser to withhold consent to any lien, encumbrance, covenant, condition, restriction, easement, title matter or zoning change which may have an adverse effect on the Property or the business conducted thereon. All title matters revealed by the Title Commitment and Survey (or any update to the Survey) which are not Must-Cure Title Encumbrances which will be covered by a Must-Cure Encumbrance Release at Closing shall all be deemed Permitted Title Exceptions.

(b)    Purchaser shall have the right to obtain an updated Title Commitment prior to Closing (each, a “Title Update”). Purchaser shall have three (3) business days after receipt of any Title Update to notify Seller in writing of any objections Purchaser may have to any exception contained in such Title Update for agreements filed of record or any liens created or becoming effective after the effective date of the initial Title Commitment that are not (i) created by, through or under Purchaser or (ii) relate to any matter previously disclosed by the Survey or initial Title Commitment (“Additional Objections”). If Purchaser notifies Seller in writing of any Additional Objections, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation (other than with respect to Must-Cure Title Encumbrances which shall be subject to a Must-Cure Encumbrance Release at Closing), to cure such Additional Objections. Within three (3) business days after receipt of Purchaser’s notice of Additional Objections, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing whether Seller elects to attempt to cure any or all of such Additional Objections. If Seller elects to attempt to cure, Seller shall have the right to attempt to remove, satisfy or cure the same, and for this purpose, Seller shall, at Seller’s election, be entitled to a one-time right to extend the Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days upon written notice to Purchaser in order for Seller to attempt to cure such Additional Objections. If Seller elects not to cure any Additional Objections or if Seller is unable to effect a cure of those Purchaser’s Objections which it elected to cure prior to the Closing Date (or any later date to which the Closing has been adjourned), and so notifies Purchaser in writing, or if Seller fails to respond to Purchaser’s notice within said three (3) business day period, Purchaser may (as its sole and exclusive remedy) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller on or before the Closing Date (as such date may have been extended by Seller as set forth above), in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder, except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. If applicable, Closing shall be extended to provide Seller and Purchaser with the full response periods provided in this Section 2.10.

(c)    Prior to Closing, Purchaser shall use diligent efforts, with Seller’s commercially reasonable assistance, to obtain (i) the written consent of the Manager, if required, to an assignment of the Management Agreement on terms reasonably

acceptable to Purchaser, and (ii) an estoppel certificate (or agreed upon form of estoppel certificate) from Manager reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.

If any such damage due to fire or other casualty is insured and would cost in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or require more than 120 days to repair, then Purchaser may terminate its obligations under this Agreement to purchase the Property by written notice given to Seller within ten (10) days after Seller has given Purchaser the notice of damage or casualty referred to in this Section 8.1, or on the Closing Date, whichever is earlier, in which case the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall be released of all further obligations hereunder with respect to the Property except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. Should Purchaser elect to proceed to Closing notwithstanding the amount of the insured loss or the time required for repairs, the Closing shall take place without abatement of the Purchase Price and at Closing Seller shall assign to Purchaser the insurance proceeds and grant to Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of the applicable deductible. If, prior to Closing, any Property is damaged by fire or other casualty which is uninsured, then Purchaser may terminate its obligations under this Agreement to purchase the Property by written notice given to the Seller within ten (10) days after Seller has given Purchaser the notice of damage or casualty or on the Closing Date, whichever is earlier, in which case the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall be released of all further obligations hereunder, except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the estimated amount to repair such uninsured casualty is not more than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), Seller, at its option, may elect to provide Purchaser with a credit to the Purchase Price at Closing for the estimated amount to repair such casualty, in which event Purchaser shall proceed to Closing and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the estimated amount to repair such casualty. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate its obligations under this

Agreement with respect to an uninsured casualty as aforesaid, or if any uninsured fire or casualty would cost not more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) to repair, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the estimated amount to repair such casualty, not to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). All estimates made pursuant to this Section shall be made by a professional engineer selected by Purchaser in its reasonable discretion.

2.2.    Condemnation. After the Effective Date, Seller agrees to give Purchaser prompt notice of any notice it receives of any taking or threat of taking by condemnation of any part of or rights appurtenant to the Real Property. If such taking will materially interfere with the operation or use of the Hotel which constitutes a part of such Real Property, the Purchaser may terminate its obligations under this Agreement to purchase the Property by written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after Seller has given Purchaser the notice of taking referred to in this Section 8.2, or on the Closing Date, whichever is earlier. For purposes of this Section 8.2, a taking will materially interfere with the operation or use of the Hotel if it leaves remaining a balance of the Real Property in a condition which, in Purchaser’s sole reasonable discretion, may not reasonably be anticipated to be economically operated for the purposes and in the manner in which the Real Property was operated prior to such taking. If Purchaser exercises its option to terminate its obligations to purchase the Property pursuant to this Section 8.2, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations hereunder with respect to the Property, except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser does not so elect to terminate its obligations to purchase the Property, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein, and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Seller’s interest in any condemnation award or payments in lieu of condemnation which may be payable to Seller on account of any such condemnation or threat thereof and, at Closing, Seller shall credit to the amount of the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser the amount, if any, of condemnation proceeds or payments in lieu of condemnation received by Seller between the Effective Date and Closing less (i) any amounts reasonably expended by Seller or Manager in collecting such sums, (ii) any amounts reasonably used by Seller or Manager to repair the Property as a result of such condemnation, and (iii) any amounts which are reasonably allocated to lost earnings or other damages or losses (other than unrepaired property damages) reasonably allocated or attributed to the period of time prior to Closing. If, prior to the Closing, there shall occur a taking by condemnation of any part of or rights appurtenant to the Property that does not materially interfere with the operation or use of the Hotel which constitutes a part of the Property, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate its obligations to purchase the Property under this Agreement by reason thereof and the Closing shall take place without abatement of the Purchase Price, but Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Seller’s interest in any condemnation award or payments in lieu of condemnation which may be payable to Seller on account of any such condemnation or threat thereof and, at Closing, Seller shall credit to the amount of the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser the amount, if any, of condemnation proceeds or payments in lieu of condemnation received by Seller between the Effective Date and Closing less (i) any amounts reasonably expended by Seller or Manager in collecting such sums, (ii) any amounts reasonably used by Seller or Manager to repair the Property as a result of such condemnation, and (iii) any amounts

which are reasonably allocated to lost earnings or other damages or losses (other than unrepaired property damages) reasonably allocated or attributed to the period of time prior to Closing. Provided Purchaser has not exercised its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2, Seller shall notify Purchaser in advance regarding any proceeding or negotiation with respect to the condemnation and Purchaser shall have a reasonable right, at its own cost and expense, to appear and participate in any such proceeding or negotiation. For purposes of Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of this Agreement, estimates of costs and time required for restoration or repair shall be made by an architect or engineer, as appropriate, designated by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.

2.3.    Broker. The parties acknowledge that Broker has been the procuring cause of this Agreement. It shall be the obligation of Seller to pay Broker its commission, when, as and if, and only if, the transaction contemplated hereby actually closes, in accordance with a separate agreement between the Broker and Seller. There is no other real estate broker involved in this transaction. Purchaser warrants and represents to Seller that Purchaser has not dealt with any other real estate broker in connection with this transaction, nor has Purchaser been introduced to the Property or to Seller by any other real estate broker, and Purchaser shall indemnify Seller and hold Seller harmless from and against any claims, suits, demands or liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever arising on account of the claim of any other person, firm or corporation to a real estate brokerage commission or a finder’s fee as a result of having dealt with Purchaser, or as a result of having introduced Purchaser to Seller or to the Property. In like manner, Seller warrants and represents to Purchaser that Seller has not dealt with any other real estate broker in connection with this transaction, nor has Seller been introduced to Purchaser by any other real estate broker, and Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and save and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any claims, suits, demands or liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever arising on account of the claim of any person, firm or corporation to a real estate brokerage commission or a finder’s fee as a result of having dealt with Seller in connection with this transaction. The provisions of this Section 8.3 shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.

2.4.    Bulk Sale. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that they do not intend to comply with and have agreed to waive the provisions of any statutory bulk sale or similar requirements applicable to the transaction to be effected by this Agreement.

2.5.    Confidentiality. Except as hereinafter provided, Purchaser and Seller and their Affiliates shall keep the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement and all documents or information disclosed to or made available to or discovered by each party in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, information in the Data Site) confidential and such information shall be used solely for the purpose of evaluating or effecting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall make any public announcements hereof unless and until the Closing occurs unless the other first reasonably approves of same in writing, nor shall either disclose unless and until the Closing occurs the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement or such other documents or information, except to persons who, in the reasonable business judgment of Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, “need to know” for the purpose of evaluating or effecting the transactions contemplated by this

Agreement, and who are instructed to keep such information confidential, such as their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, engineers, surveyors, consultants, financiers, partners, investors, potential lessees and bankers and such other third parties whose assistance is required in connection with the consummation of this transaction (collectively, “Representatives”); provided, however, that information or documents shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.5 if, not otherwise in violation of this Section 8.5, such information or documents, (i) were or become(s) generally available to the public, or (ii) were or become(s) available to Purchaser or its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Seller or its Affiliates or Manager. Upon full execution of this Agreement and if the Closing occurs, the parties may either make a joint press release, or each party may make an individual press release. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is acknowledged that Seller is, or is an Affiliate of, a REIT, and the REIT has and will seek to sell shares to the general public; consequently, Seller shall have the absolute and unbridled right to disclose any information regarding the Transaction required by law or as determined to be necessary or appropriate by Seller or Seller’s attorneys to satisfy disclosure and reporting obligations of Seller or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may make a press release or file with the United States Securities Exchange Commission information regarding the Transaction. Seller and Purchaser and their Representatives are cautioned that United States securities laws restrict the purchase and sale of securities by anyone who possesses non-public information about the issue of such securities. Accordingly, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates nor its Representatives may buy or sell any of the securities of the Seller or any of its Affiliates so long as any of them is in possession of any material non-public information about the Seller or any of its Affiliates, including information contained in or derived from confidential information. The terms of this Section 8.5 shall supersede any prior confidentiality agreements executed by Seller, Purchaser, or any of their respective Affiliates, parents, or subsidiaries, to the extent such confidentiality agreements relate or refer, directly or indirectly, to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 8.5 relating to press releases shall survive the Closing and all the provisions of this Section 8.5 shall survive a termination of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year after such termination; provided, however, that any liabilities or obligations of either Seller, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates, parents, or subsidiaries that may have accrued or arisen under any confidentiality agreements prior to the Effective Date shall survive such confidentiality agreements being superseded hereby.

If either Seller or Purchaser or any of their Affiliates or any of their Representatives is required by any subpoena, interrogatories, request for production, or other legal process or by any Applicable Laws, or if it is determined to be necessary or appropriate by Seller or Seller’s attorneys to satisfy disclosure and reporting obligations of Seller or its Affiliates, to disclose any confidential information, Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, will give the other party prompt written notice of the requirement and will cooperate with the other party so that the other party, at its expense, may seek an appropriate protective order. In the absence of a protective order, the party required to disclose, including any Representatives, may disclose only such confidential information as may be necessary to avoid any penalty, sanction, or other material adverse consequence, and the party required to disclose will use reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of any confidential information so disclosed.

Seller and Purchaser stipulate that the breach of the provisions of this Section 8.5 by the other party or its respective Affiliates or Representatives may cause irreparable harm to the non-breaching party for which damages may not constitute an adequate remedy. Accordingly, the parties agree that any attempted, threatened, or actual breach of the provisions of this Section 8.5 by one party or its Affiliates or Representatives may be enjoined by an appropriate court order or judgment. The parties waive any requirement for the posting of a bond or other security as a condition to such court order or judgment. Injunctive relief will not be the sole remedy of the non-breaching party for a breach of the provisions of this Section 8.5, and all legal and equitable remedies will continue to be available to the non-breaching party. If the non-breaching party is the prevailing party in any litigation relating to the breach of the provisions of this Section 8.5 by the other party or its Affiliates or Representatives, the non-breaching party will be entitled to recover (in addition to any damages or other relief granted) its reasonable legal fees and other expenses in connection with such litigation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other agreement to which the parties hereto are parties or by which they are bound, any and all obligations of confidentiality contained herein and therein (the “Confidentiality Obligations”), as they relate to the transactions and events contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction”), shall not apply to the “structure or tax aspects” (as that phrase is used in Section 1.6011-4T(b)(3) or any successor provision of the Treasury Regulations (the “Confidentiality Regulation”) promulgated under Section 6011 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) of the Transaction; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Obligations nevertheless shall apply at a given time to any and all items of information not required to be freely disclosable at such time in order for the Transaction not to be treated as “offered under conditions of confidentiality” within the meaning of the Confidentiality Regulation.

2.6.    Liquor Licenses. To the extent permitted by law, Seller shall transfer or cause to be transferred to Purchaser or its designee all alcoholic beverage licenses which are in their respective names and which are necessary to operate the restaurant, bars and lounges presently located within the Hotel (and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, to the extent that applicable laws prohibit the transfer of any portion of Inventory connected with the same, then Purchaser or its designee shall still be required to acquire the Inventory, but the transfer of Inventory shall be appropriately limited or reduced as necessary to comply with such applicable laws without otherwise delaying Closing or reducing the Purchase Price, and such matters shall in no event constitute any breach or default by Seller or any failure of a condition hereunder). Seller (and its Affiliates) and Purchaser shall cooperate each with the other, and each shall execute or cause to be executed such transfer forms, license applications and other documents as may be necessary to effect such transfers and/or to permit Purchaser to obtain new alcoholic beverage licenses. If permitted under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Hotel is located, such parties shall execute or cause to be executed and file all necessary transfer forms, applications and papers with the appropriate alcoholic beverage authorities prior to Closing, to the end that the transfer of the existing licenses (and/or such related Inventory) or Purchaser’s obtaining new licenses shall take effect, if possible, on the Closing Date, simultaneously with Closing. If not so permitted, then the parties agree each with the other that they will promptly

execute or cause to be executed all transfer forms, applications and other documents required by the liquor authorities in order to effect such transfer or issuance of new licenses at the earliest date in time possible consistent with the laws of the State where the Property is located, in order that all existing alcoholic beverage licenses (and/or such related Inventory) may be transferred or new alcoholic beverage licenses issued to Purchaser or its designee at the earliest possible time. If upon Closing the existing liquor license has not been transferred to Purchaser or Purchaser’s nominee or, despite commercially reasonable good faith efforts by Purchaser, a new liquor license has not been issued to Purchaser or Purchaser’s nominee, then, subject to Applicable Laws, Seller shall (not to include by Seller the expenditure of any money or guaranty of any obligation) cause the holder of the existing liquor license (the “Existing Permittee”) to enter into an interim liquor agreement (an “Interim Liquor Agreement”) or any other such license agreements, management agreements and/or other interim agreements, with Purchaser or Purchaser’s designee as may be reasonably necessary for the continuation of the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages at the Hotel after the Closing and before such time as an Affiliate or designee of Purchaser (the “New Permittee”) obtains permits (the “New Liquor Permits”) relating to the sale and on-premises consumption of liquor and other alcoholic beverages to replace the existing liquor license; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and Existing Permittee harmless from any liability, damages (except punitive damages), costs, expenses or claims encountered in connection with such operations during said period of time, except to the extent caused by Seller’s or Existing Permittee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, and Purchaser shall procure and pay for dram shop liability insurance (in amounts and with deductibles as previously maintained by Seller) naming Purchaser and Seller and Existing Permittee as insureds thereunder, and (ii) the obligation of Seller to cooperate and keep open the liquor facilities of the Hotel shall terminate one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, or earlier, if Purchaser obtains the New Liquor Permits at an earlier date. At such time after Closing as the New Liquor Permits are obtained, Existing Permittee or Seller, as applicable, will convey, at no additional costs, all alcoholic beverages to New Permittee by a conveyance document in form reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser and in accordance with the requirements of the Applicable Laws. Seller and Purchaser shall use good faith efforts to agree on the form of the Interim Liquor Agreement at least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date. This Section 8.6 shall survive the Closing.

2.7.    Management Agreement. Within five (5) business days after the Effective Date Seller will notify Manager of the sale of the Property to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. Purchaser shall provide to Manager all of the information requested by Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement relating to the proposed sale of the Property, which Purchaser shall promptly submit to Manager. At Closing Purchaser shall assume the obligations, to the extent first arising from and after the Closing, of Seller and any of their Affiliates, as applicable, under the Management Agreement, or any guarantee thereof. Purchaser agrees to indemnify, and hold Seller and their Affiliates harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, penalties, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) that may at any time be incurred by Seller or any of their Affiliates arising out of, by reason of, or in connection with any obligation of, or default by, Purchaser under the Management Agreement which first occurs, accrues or arises on or after the Closing Date. Seller agrees to indemnify, and hold

Purchaser and its Affiliates harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, penalties, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that may at any time be incurred by Purchaser or its Affiliates arising out of, by reason of, or in connection with any obligation of or default by Seller or any of their Affiliates under the Management Agreement which occurs, accrues or arises prior to the Closing Date. The obligations of Purchaser and Seller contained in this Section 8.7 shall survive Closing.

ARTICLE III. DEFAULT; TERMINATION RIGHTS

3.1.    Default by Seller/Failure of Conditions Precedent. If (i) any condition set forth herein for the benefit of Purchaser cannot or will not be satisfied prior to Closing (unless the failure to satisfy such condition is caused by the default of Purchaser or its Affiliates under this Agreement, or is otherwise within the reasonable control of Purchaser or its Affiliates), or (ii) Seller breaches any of its covenants, representations, and/or warranties set forth in this Agreement, and, if curable, if Seller fails to cure any such matter or satisfy such condition within ten (10) calendar days after written notice thereof from Purchaser (or such other time period as may be explicitly provided for herein), (which ten (10) calendar day or other such time periods shall, if necessary, automatically extend the Closing Date to the expiration date of such ten (10) calendar day or other such time period), or upon the occurrence of any other event that would entitle Purchaser to terminate this Agreement and its obligations hereunder, unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy shall elect either (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event (i) the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and Purchaser shall retain its right to enforce the indemnities and other provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement, provided that, if such termination is due to Seller defaulting in any material respect (after notice and expiration of cure periods provided above) under any of Seller’s obligations in this Agreement, Purchaser shall be entitled to reimbursement by Seller of the actual third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with entering into this Agreement, inspecting the Property and preparing for Closing, including, without limitation, Purchaser’s reasonable attorney fees incurred in connection therewith, such reimbursement not to exceed One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($150,000.00) in the aggregate, or if such default is in Seller’s obligation to execute and deliver the documents required of Seller pursuant to Section 7.2 of this Agreement, such that Closing does not occur, such reimbursement (without duplication) shall not exceed Three Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($350,000.00) in the aggregate, and (ii) all other rights and obligations of Seller and Purchaser hereunder (except those set forth herein which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement) shall terminate immediately; or (b) to waive such matter or condition and proceed to Closing with no reduction in the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if, at the Closing, Seller fails to comply in any material respect with any of its obligations contained in Section 7.2 or 7.4 (the “Closing Obligations”), and if all conditions precedent to Seller’s obligations hereunder have been waived or satisfied, Purchaser shall have, in addition to Purchaser’s remedies contained in the preceding sentence, the option to waive all other actions, rights, or claims for damages for the failure to perform such Closing Obligations (other than costs and expenses incurred in enforcing this

Agreement and its right to enforce the indemnities and other provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement or Closing), and to bring an equitable action to enforce the Closing Obligations; provided, (i) Purchaser shall provide written notice of Purchaser’s intention to enforce the Closing Obligations by specific performance and Seller shall not have cured performance of the Closing Obligations within ten (10) calendar days following delivery of such notice, and (ii) Purchaser’s suit for specific performance shall be filed against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in the county and state in which the Property is located, on or before ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, failing which, Purchaser shall be barred from enforcing this Agreement by specific performance and shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement as provided herein. The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

3.2.    Default by Purchaser/Failure of Conditions Precedent. If any condition set forth herein for the benefit of Seller (other than a default by Purchaser) cannot or will not be satisfied prior to Closing, and if Purchaser fails to satisfy that condition within ten (10) business days after notice thereof from Seller, unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall elect either (a) to terminate this Agreement in which event the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations hereunder except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement, or (b) to waive its right to terminate, and instead, to proceed to Closing. If Purchaser defaults in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement, and Purchaser fails to cure any such default within the earlier of (i) the Closing, or (ii) ten (10) business days after notice thereof from Seller, then Seller’s sole remedy for such default shall be to terminate this Agreement and receive the Deposit and to retain its right to enforce the indemnities and other provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be entitled to any notice and right to cure in the event it wrongfully fails to proceed to Closing as required by this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser agree that, in the event of such a default, the damages that Seller would sustain as a result thereof would be difficult if not impossible to ascertain. Therefore, Seller and Purchaser agree that, Seller shall receive the Deposit and retain the right to enforce the indemnities and other provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement, as full and complete liquidated damages and as Seller’s sole remedy. The provisions of this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

3.3.    Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any litigation or dispute between the parties arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement, resulting in any litigation, then the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to recover its costs of prosecuting and/or defending same, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees at trial and all appellate levels. The provisions of this Section 9.3 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

3.4.    Limitation of Liability. The liability of each party hereto resulting from the breach or default by such party shall be limited to direct actual damages incurred by the injured party and each party hereto hereby waives its rights to recover from the other party

consequential, punitive, exemplary, and speculative damages. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall not limit or affect the rights of Seller to receive the Deposit as liquidated damages as and when provided in this Agreement.

3.5.    Indemnification of Purchaser. From and after Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, liabilities, judgments, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of, or in any way relating to the business or operation of the Property prior to Closing (but excluding liabilities related to the physical and/or environmental conditions of the Property and/or the compliance (or lack of compliance) of the Property with Applicable Laws, including any expired Authorizations), such obligations to survive Closing; provided, however, that this indemnity shall expressly exclude all liabilities for payment of obligations first arising or accruing prior to the Closing Date to the extent that Purchaser has assumed such obligations or receives a credit therefor pursuant to this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 9.5 shall survive the Closing.

3.6.    Indemnification of Seller. From and after Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Seller from and against any and all such Claims resulting from or arising out, or in any way relating to the business or operation of the Property from and after Closing, such obligations to survive Closing. The provisions of this Section 9.6 will survive the Closing Date.

ARTICLE IV. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

4.2.    Assignments. Purchaser shall have the right to (i) assign all or a portion of its right, title and interest in this Agreement in whole or in part to one or more Affiliates or subsidiaries, and/or (ii) designate one or more Affiliates or subsidiaries as its nominee to receive title to any portion the Property; provided, however, that (a) such Person remains an Affiliate or subsidiary of Purchaser as of the Closing, (b) Purchaser shall not be released from any of its Liabilities under this Agreement by reason of such designation or assignment prior to the Closing, and (c) such designation or assignment shall not be effective until Purchaser has provided Seller with a fully executed copy of such designation or assignment and assumption instrument.

To be effective hereunder, any assignment by Purchaser hereunder, even one to an Affiliate of Purchaser, must be accompanied by a fully executed and effective assignment and assumption

and/or designation agreement provided to Seller no later than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding any assignment of this Agreement, Purchaser shall not be released from its obligations hereunder unless and until the Closing occurs, and the assignment and assumption agreement in connection therewith shall include a statement that all representations and warranties of Purchaser in Article IV of this Agreement are true of such assignee taking assignment of this Agreement as of the date of such assignment and will be true as of the Closing in all material respects.

4.3.    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted respective successors and assigns.

4.7.    Severability. If any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term, covenant or condition to other persons or circumstances, shall not be affected thereby, and each term, covenant or condition of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Escrow Agent shall not be liable: (a) to any of the parties for any act or omission to act except for its own willful misconduct; (b) for any legal effect, insufficiency, or undesirability of any instrument deposited with or delivered by Escrow Agent or exchanged by the parties hereunder, whether or not Escrow Agent prepared such instrument; (c) for any loss or impairment of funds that have been deposited in escrow while those funds are in the course of collection, or while those funds are on deposit in a financial institution, if such loss or impairment results from the failure, insolvency or suspension of a financial institution; (d) for the expiration of any time limit or other consequence of delay, unless a properly executed written instruction, accepted by Escrow Agent, has instructed Escrow Agent to comply with said time limit; (e) for the default, error, action or omission of either party to the escrow. Escrow Agent, in its capacity as escrow agent, shall be entitled to rely on any document or paper received by it, believed by such Escrow Agent, in good faith, to be bona fide and genuine. In the event of any dispute as to the disposition of the Deposit or any other monies held in escrow, or of any documents held in escrow, Escrow Agent may continue to hold the Deposit pursuant to the terms hereof, or if Escrow Agent so elects, interplead the matter at the joint and several cost of Purchaser and Seller by filing an interpleader action in a court of general jurisdiction in the county or circuit where the Real Property is located (to the jurisdiction of which both parties do hereby consent), and pay into the registry of the court the Deposit, or deposit any such documents with respect to which there is a dispute in the Registry of such court, whereupon such Escrow Agent shall be relieved and released from any further liability as Escrow Agent hereunder. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for Escrow Agent’s compliance with any legal process, subpoena, writ, order, judgment and decree of any court, whether issued with or without jurisdiction, and whether or not subsequently vacated, modified, set aside or reversed. Purchaser and Seller agree to jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Escrow Agent from and against any loss, cost, damage, expense and attorney’s fee in connection

with or in any way arising out of the escrow arrangement, other than expenses resulting from the Escrow Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

4.11.    Incorporation by Reference. All of the exhibits and schedules attached hereto are by this reference incorporated herein and made a part hereof.

4.12.    Survival. Except to the extent (i) that Seller gives Purchaser written notice prior to Closing of the untruth or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained herein, (ii) Purchaser otherwise obtains actual knowledge prior to Closing of the untruth or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained herein, or (iii) of a Non-Breach Inaccuracy, and Purchaser nevertheless elects to close this transaction, the representations and warranties made herein shall survive the Closing through but not beyond the Limitation Date (as hereinafter defined) after which such representations and warranties shall merge into the Closing Documents, provided that the aforesaid limitation shall not apply to the prosecution of any Claim made and action commenced in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 10.12 prior to the Limitation Date. Subject to the foregoing limitations, the representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements of Seller set forth in this Agreement and the Closing Documents shall survive for nine (9) months after the Closing (the “Limitation Date”). Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any provision of law to the contrary, any action which may be brought for the untruth or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty by Seller in this Agreement or in any of the Closing Documents (other than the Deed) (a “Claim”) shall be forever barred unless, (a) no later than the Limitation Date, Purchaser delivers to Seller a written notice of the Claim setting forth the basis for such Claim, and (b) no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Limitation Date, files a complaint or petition against Seller alleging such Claim in an appropriate Federal district or state court and serves the same upon Seller, in which case the Limitation Date, as to such breach, shall be extended pending resolution of such complaint or petition. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Claim for the untruth or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty that Purchaser may have at any time against Seller will not be valid or effective, and Seller shall have no liability with respect thereto, unless all valid Claims exceed Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) in the aggregate; provided, that once such Claims meet the foregoing threshold Purchaser shall be entitled to recover all such Claims from “dollar one.” Seller’s liability for damages resulting from valid Claims for the untruth or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty by Seller shall in no event exceed three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price in the aggregate.

4.13.    Further Assurances. Seller and Purchaser each covenant and agree to sign, execute and deliver, or cause to be signed, executed and delivered, and to do or make, or cause to be done or made, upon the written request of the other party, any and all agreements, instruments, papers, deeds, acts or things, supplemental, confirmatory or otherwise, as may be reasonably required by either party hereto for the purpose of or in connection with consummating the transactions described herein provided that compliance with the provision of this Section 10.13 shall not increase the liability of the complying party.

4.14.    No Partnership. This Agreement does not and shall not be construed to create a partnership, joint venture or any other relationship between the parties hereto except the relationship of seller and purchaser specifically established hereby.

4.15.    Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to every provision hereof.

4.16.    Signatory Exculpation.

(e)    Except as expressly noted herein to the contrary, time periods herein referred to shall mean the time periods as in effect, from time to time, in Seattle, Washington.

4.18.    No Recording. Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum hereof, or any other instrument intended to give notice hereof (or which actually gives notice hereof) shall be recorded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the same is permitted pursuant to Applicable Laws, Purchaser shall be entitled to record a notice of lis pendens if Purchaser is entitled to seek (and is actually seeking) specific performance of this Agreement by Seller in accordance with the terms of Section 9.1. This Section shall survive the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.

4.19.    Facsimile or Electronic Signatures. The execution of this Agreement and all notices given hereunder and all amendments hereto, may be effected by facsimile or electronic signatures, all of which shall be treated as originals; provided, however, that the party receiving a

Except for provisions of this Agreement that expressly survive the Closing, and except as expressly provided in Section 10.12 hereof, all of the representations and warranties and covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing and shall merge into the Closing Documents. Upon Closing, any breach or default of any such representations or warranties or covenants that do not expressly survive the Closing, whether known or unknown, shall be deemed waived by the Closing.

4.22.    Local Law Provisions.

(a)    Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that the Real Property constitutes “Commercial Real Estate” as defined in Revised Code of Washington (“RCW”) Chapter 64.06.005. Purchaser hereby waives receipt of a seller disclosure statement required under RCW 64.06 for transactions involving the sale of commercial real estate except for the section entitled “Environmental”. The section entitled “Environmental” of such seller disclosure statement as completed by Seller is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit H (the “Environmental Disclosure Statement”). Purchaser acknowledges its receipt of the Environmental Disclosure Statement and waives its right to rescind this Agreement under RCW 64.06.030. Purchaser further agrees and acknowledges that the Environmental Disclosure Statement (a) shall be for disclosure only, (b) shall not be considered part of this Agreement, and (c) shall not be construed as a representation or warranty of any kind by the Seller.

(b)    Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in providing notice to King County of the purchase of the Property not later than thirty (30) days before the Closing Date in compliance with applicable law, and any Taxes billed by King County in response to such notice that would otherwise be payable in the year after the Closing Date but for the purchase of the Property shall be prorated in accordance with Section 7.6 hereof.

(c)    Each of Seller’s and Purchaser’s indemnities as set forth in this Agreement specifically cover actions brought by any employee of the indemnifying party. Such indemnities are specifically and expressly intended to constitute a waiver of the indemnifying party’s immunity under Washington’s Industrial Insurance Act, RCW Title 51, to the extent necessary to provide the indemnified party with a full and complete indemnity from claims made by the employees of the indemnifying party. SELLER AND PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION WERE SPECIFICALLY NEGOTIATED AND AGREED UPON BY THEM.
