The ability to complete a like-kind exchange depends on many factors, including, among others, identifying and acquiring suitable replacement property within limited time periods, and the ownership structure of the properties being sold and acquired.

Moreover, Section 1031 Exchanges now only apply to real property and do not apply to any related personal property transferred with the real property.
Therefore, we are not always able to sell an asset as part of a like-kind exchange. When successful, a like-kind exchange enables us to defer the taxable gain on the asset sold. Moreover, 1031 Exchanges now only apply to real property and do not apply to any related personal property transferred with the real property.
An event of default that is not timely cured could adversely affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows or the market price of our stock.
Increases in these operating expenses could adversely affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows or the market price of our stock. Our Operating Partnership could be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes.
Removed
We may fail to successfully integrate acquired lodging properties or achieve expected operating performance.
Added
Changes in federal or state regulations or policies can have a significant effect on labor markets and our business. These potential changes in regulations or policies could adversely affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or the market price of our stock. Actions by organized labor could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Removed
Our ability to effectively implement and accomplish our business strategy will be affected by our ability to obtain and use additional leverage in sufficient amounts and on favorable terms. However, the capital environment is often characterized by extended periods of limited availability of both debt and equity financing, increasing financing costs, stringent credit terms and significant volatility.
Added
If we generate capital gains on property sales, we may be subject to significant tax liabilities unless we have NOLs available to offset these capital gains (at December 31, 2024, our TRSs had federal net operating losses of $48.8 million which are not subject to expiration and state net operating losses of $33.6 million, which expire beginning in 2025).
Removed
In addition, sophisticated hardware and operating system software and applications that we and our third-party property managers or franchisors may procure from outside companies may contain defects in design or manufacture, including “bugs” and other problems that could unexpectedly interfere with our internal operations or the operations at our lodging properties.
Added
These NOLs may be available to offset capital gains from future property sales. However, there can be no assurance that we will continue to have NOLs or NOLs in sufficient amount in the future to offset capital gains on property sales, if and when they occur.
Removed
If a joint venture partner becomes bankrupt or otherwise defaults on its obligations under a joint venture agreement, we and any other remaining joint venture partners of that joint venture would generally remain liable for the joint venture liabilities.
Added
Any of these events could adversely affect our financial results, stock price and reputation, result in misstated financial reports and subject us to potential litigation and liability.
Removed
Lodging properties have different economic characteristics than many other real estate assets. A typical office property owner, for example, has long-term leases with third-party tenants, which provide a relatively stable long-term stream of revenue.
Added
We may not be able to manage rapidly advancing artificial intelligence in our business which could adversely affect our competitive position. The evolution of artificial intelligence is occurring at a rapid pace. Artificial intelligence may present an opportunity to create meaningful efficiencies and improve our business performance.
Removed
Furthermore, persons who sent waste to a waste disposal facility, such as a landfill or an incinerator, may be liable for costs associated with cleanup of that facility.
Added
If we or our property managers and brand franchisors are unable to address artificial intelligence in our business, we could experience a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or the market price of our stock.
Removed
Our rights and the rights of our stockholders to take action against our directors and officers are limited.
Added
These conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Added
Risks Related to the Real Estate Industry and Real Estate-Related Investments Illiquidity of real estate investments could significantly impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our lodging properties or to adjust our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions.
Added
Certain lodging properties we currently own or those we acquire in the future contain, may contain, or may have contained, asbestos-containing material (“ACM”).
Added
Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure Our fiduciary duties as the general partner of our Operating Partnership could create conflicts of interest.
Added
In addition, pursuant to a provision in our bylaws, we have opted out of the control share provisions of the MGCL.
Added
Our charter authorizes us to indemnify our directors and officers for actions taken by them in those capacities to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.
Added
We also rely on distributions from our Operating Partnership to meet any of our obligations, including tax liabilities on taxable income allocated to us from our Operating Partnership (which might make distributions to us that do not equal the tax on such allocated taxable income).
Added
Therefore, in the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, claims of our stockholders will be satisfied only after all of our and our Operating Partnership’s and its subsidiaries’ liabilities and obligations have been paid in full.
Added
We own approximately 87% of the Common Units in the Operating Partnership, all of the issued and outstanding 6.25% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership (“Series E Preferred Units”), and all of the issued and outstanding 5.875% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership ("Series F Preferred Units").
Added
An unrelated third-party owns all of the issued and outstanding Series Z Preferred Units that were issued in January 2022 as part of the NCI Transaction. Any future issuances by our Operating Partnership of additional Common Units or Preferred Units could reduce our ownership percentage in our Operating Partnership.
Added
Because our common stockholders do not directly own any Common Units or Preferred Units, they will not have any voting rights with respect to any such issuances or other partnership-level activities of the Operating Partnership.
Added
If we are unable to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to produce and report accurate financial information on a timely basis or prevent fraud. A system of internal controls that is well designed and properly functioning is critical for us to produce and report accurate and reliable financial information and effectively prevent fraud.

Industry Trends and Outlook Room-night demand in the U.S. lodging industry is generally correlated to certain macroeconomic trends. Key drivers of lodging demand, and therefore hotel revenues, include changes in GDP, corporate profits, capital investments, and employment. From a cost perspective, elevated inflation has been pervasive since 2022, increasing the cost of salaries, wages, supplies, material, freight, insurance and energy.
Removed
Higher costs from broad inflationary pressures have been partially offset by lodging price increases. While growth rates have decelerated, inflation is still increasing faster than historical norms, which may continue in 2024.
Removed
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we experienced a continued recovery from the Pandemic driven increasingly by strong group travel and improvements in business transient demand, in addition to continued strength in leisure travel.
Removed
From an industry perspective, the year ended December 31, 2023 represented a new high in lodging demand, further evidence that businesses and individual consumers alike are increasingly traveling. Strong room night demand coupled with minimal forecasted growth in supply over the next several years positions the industry for continued growth.
Removed
Based on the trends noted above, we expect positive comparable hotel RevPAR growth for our portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2024. Operating Performance Metrics We use a variety of performance indicators and other information to evaluate the financial condition and operating performance of our business.
Removed
These key indicators include financial information that is prepared in accordance with GAAP, as well as other financial information that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, we use other information that may not be financial in nature, including statistical information and comparative data.
Removed
We use this information to measure the performance of individual lodging properties, groups of lodging properties or our business as a whole. We periodically compare historical information to our internal budgets as well as industry-wide information.
Removed
These key indicators include: • Occupancy — Occupancy represents the total number of guestrooms occupied divided by the total number of guestrooms available. • Average Daily Rate — ADR represents total room revenues divided by the total number of paid occupied guestrooms. • Revenue Per Available Room — RevPAR is the product of ADR and Occupancy.
Removed
Occupancy, ADR and RevPAR are commonly used measures within the lodging industry to evaluate operating performance. RevPAR is an important metric for monitoring operating performance at the individual lodging property level and across our business as a whole.
Removed
We evaluate individual lodging property RevPAR performance on an absolute basis with comparisons to budget and prior periods, as well as on a company-wide and market-by-market basis. ADR and RevPAR are based only on room revenue. Room revenue depends on demand (as measured by occupancy), pricing (as measured by ADR), and our available supply of lodging property guestrooms.
Removed
Our ADR, occupancy and RevPAR performance may be affected by macroeconomic factors such as regional and local employment growth, personal income and corporate earnings, office vacancy rates and business relocation decisions, air travel and other business and leisure travel, new lodging property construction, and the pricing strategies of competitors.
Removed
In addition, our ADR, occupancy and RevPAR performance is dependent on the continued success of our partners, franchisors and brands. Lodging Property Portfolio Activity We continuously evaluate alternatives to refine our portfolio to drive growth and create value.
Removed
In the normal course of business, we evaluate opportunities to acquire additional properties that meet our investment criteria and opportunities to recycle capital through the disposition of properties. As such, the composition and size of our portfolio of properties may change materially over time.
Removed
Significant changes to our portfolio of properties could have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Removed
During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Operating Partnership and the GIC Joint Venture closed on the NCI Transaction for the acquisition of a portfolio of 27 lodging properties, containing an aggregate of 3,709 guestrooms, and two parking structures, containing 1,002 spaces, and various financial incentives for an aggregate purchase price of $822.0 million. 44 In May 2022, the GIC Joint Venture completed the sale of the 169-guestroom Hilton Garden Inn San Francisco Airport North in San Francisco, CA for a gross selling price of $75.0 million.
Removed
The sale of this property resulted in a net gain of $20.5 million to the GIC Joint Venture.
Removed
In June 2022, we formed the Brickell Joint Venture (see "See Part II – Item 8. – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 10 - Non-controlling Interests and Redeemable Non-controlling Interests ") to facilitate the exercise of our purchase option to acquire a 90% equity interest in the AC Hotel by Marriott and Element Miami Brickell Hotel in Miami, FL (together the "AC/Element Hotel").
Removed
The exercise price of the purchase option was $89.0 million and was primarily funded with the conversion of the mezzanine loan of $29.9 million to equity, $7.9 million in cash and the assumption of debt.
Removed
In October 2022, we completed the acquisition of a 90% equity interest in the Onera Joint Venture that owns an 11-unit glamping property for $5.2 million in cash, plus additional contingent consideration of $1.8 million paid in September 2023.
Removed
The Onera Joint Venture has a 100% fee simple interest in a lodging property consisting of an 11-unit glamping property and a 6.4-acre parcel of land. In May 2023, we completed the sale of four lodging properties for an aggregate gross selling price of $28.1 million.
Removed
The sale included two Hyatt Place hotels in the Chicago area containing a total of 277 guestrooms, a Hilton Garden Inn in the Minneapolis area containing 97 guestrooms, and a Holiday Inn Express & Suites in the Minneapolis area containing 93 guestrooms.
Removed
These lodging properties were classified as Assets Held for Sale at December 31, 2022 and their carrying values during the year then ended were reduced by $2.9 million to bring the carrying value of the properties to their net selling price less estimated costs to sell.
Removed
In June 2023, the GIC Joint Venture acquired the Residence Inn by Marriott located in Scottsdale, AZ containing 120 guestrooms for a purchase price of approximately $29.0 million and the Nordic Lodge located in Steamboat Springs, CO containing 47 guestrooms for a purchase price of approximately $13.7 million.
Removed
In December 2023, we completed the sale of the 123-guestroom Hyatt Place in Baltimore (Owings Mills), MD for a gross selling price of $8.3 million. The net selling price less costs to sell approximated the net book value of the hotel property on the sale date resulting in a nominal gain that was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Removed
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the GIC Joint Venture entered into a purchase and sale agreement with a third-party to sell the 127-guestroom Hyatt Place Dallas (Plano), TX for $10.3 million.
Removed
We reclassified the property in Assets Held for sale, net at December 31, 2023 and recorded a write-down of $4.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 for the excess of the net carrying amount of the portfolio of properties over the net selling price less estimated costs to sell.
Removed
We completed the sale of the property on February 15, 2024 under the terms described above. During the first quarter of 2024, we entered into two separate purchase and sale agreements with two unrelated third-parties to sell one individual lodging property and a portfolio of two lodging properties with an aggregate 529-guestrooms for an aggregate selling price of $84.0 million.
Removed
We reclassified all three of the properties to Assets Held for sale, net at December 31, 2023 and recorded a write-down of $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 for the excess of the net carrying amount of one of the lodging properties over its net selling price less estimated costs to sell.
Removed
We expect to complete the transactions during the first half of 2024. At December 31, 2023, we have a lodging property with 101-guestrooms being marketed for sale.
Removed
We have reclassified the property to Assets Held for Sale, net at December 31, 2023 and recorded a write-down of $11.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 for the excess of the net carrying amount of the lodging property over its net selling price less estimated costs to sell.
Removed
During the first quarter of 2023, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with a third-party to sell a 5.99-acre parcel of undeveloped land in San Antonio, TX for $1.3 million. We expect to complete the transaction during the first half of 2024. See “Part II –

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Industry Trends and Outlook Room-night demand in the U.S. lodging industry is generally correlated to certain macroeconomic trends. Key drivers of demand, and therefore lodging revenues, include changes in gross domestic product, corporate profits, capital investments, and employment.

We own approximately 87% of the Common Units in the Operating Partnership, all of the issued and outstanding 6.25% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership (“Series E Preferred Units”), and all of the issued and outstanding 5.875% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership ("Series F Preferred Units").
Added
From a cost perspective, elevated inflation increased the cost of salaries, wages, supplies, material, freight, insurance and energy in recent years. A portion of these costs were partially offset by lodging price increases. While certain costs remain above historical levels, expense growth has moderated to a pace consistent with historical long-term inflation rates.
Removed
An unrelated third-party owns all of the issued and outstanding Series Z Preferred Units that were issued in January 2022 as part of the NCI Transaction. Any future issuances by our Operating Partnership of additional Common Units or Preferred Units could reduce our ownership percentage in our Operating Partnership.
Added
During 2024, we experienced same-store revenue growth as a result of strong group and improved business transient demand which was partially offset by normalization in leisure demand.
Removed
Because our common stockholders do not directly own any Common Units or Preferred Units, they will not have any voting rights with respect to any such issuances or other partnership-level activities of the Operating Partnership.
Added
The long-term outlook for industry revenue growth remains favorable as forecasted room night demand growth and increases in average daily rate, combined with minimal supply growth, are expected to drive continued industry RevPAR growth over the next several years.

If we are unable to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to produce and report accurate financial information on a timely basis or prevent fraud. A system of internal controls that is well designed and properly functioning is critical for us to produce and report accurate and reliable financial information and effectively prevent fraud.
Added
Operating Performance Metrics We use a variety of performance indicators and other information to evaluate the financial condition and operating performance of our business. These key indicators include financial information that is prepared in accordance with GAAP, as well as other financial information that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Removed
We must also rely on the quality of the internal control environments of our third-party property managers who provide us with financial information related to our lodging properties.
Added
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 performance of individual lodging properties, groups of lodging properties or our business as a whole. We periodically compare historical information to our internal budgets as well as industry-wide information.
Removed
At times, we may identify areas of internal controls that are not properly functioning as designed, that need improvement or that must be developed to ensure that we have an adequate system of internal controls.
Added
These key indicators include: • Hotel EBITDA — Hotel EBITDA is a measure of the operating performance of our lodging properties after excluding the effects of financing decisions, tax systems, and non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization. • Hotel Gross Operating Profit — Hotel Gross Operating Profit ("GOP") is a measure of the profitability of our lodging properties from core operations and represents Hotel EBITDA exclusive of property taxes, insurance, and management fees. • Occupancy — Occupancy represents the total number of guestrooms occupied divided by the total number of guestrooms available. • Average Daily Rate — ADR represents total room revenues divided by the total number of paid occupied guestrooms. • Revenue Per Available Room — RevPAR is the product of ADR and Occupancy.
Removed
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us to evaluate and report on our internal controls over financial reporting and have our independent auditors annually issue their own opinion on our internal controls over financial reporting. We cannot be certain that we will be successful in maintaining adequate internal controls over our financial reporting and processes.
Added
Occupancy, ADR and RevPAR are commonly used measures within the lodging industry to evaluate operating performance. RevPAR is an important metric for monitoring operating performance at the individual lodging property level and across our business as a whole.
Removed
Additionally, as we grow our business, our internal controls will become more complex and we will require significantly more resources to ensure that our internal controls remain effective.
Added
We evaluate individual lodging property RevPAR performance on an absolute basis with comparisons to budget and prior periods, as well as on a company-wide and market-by-market basis. ADR and RevPAR are based only on room revenue. Room revenue depends on demand (as measured by occupancy), pricing (as measured by ADR), and our available supply of lodging property guestrooms.
Removed
If we or our independent auditors discover a material weakness, the disclosure of that fact, even if promptly remedied, could cause our stockholders to lose confidence in our financial results, which could reduce the market value of our common shares.
Added
Our ADR, occupancy and RevPAR performance may be affected by macroeconomic factors such as regional and local employment growth, personal income and corporate earnings, office vacancy rates and business relocation decisions, air travel and other business and leisure travel, new lodging property construction, and the pricing strategies of competitors.
Removed
Additionally, the existence of any material weakness or significant deficiency could require management to devote substantial time and incur significant expense to remediate any such conditions. There can be no assurance that management will be able to remediate any material weaknesses in a timely manner.

In order for our securities to remain listed, we are required to meet the continued listing requirements of the NYSE or, in the alternative, any other nationally-recognized exchange to which we apply.
Added
Significant changes to our portfolio of properties could have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In May 2023, we completed the sale of four lodging properties for an aggregate gross selling price of $28.1 million.
Removed
We may be unable to satisfy those listing requirements, and there is no guarantee our securities will remain listed on a nationally-recognized exchange.
Added
The sale included two Hyatt Place hotels in the Chicago area containing a total of 277 guestrooms, a Hilton Garden Inn in the Minneapolis area containing 97 guestrooms, and a Holiday Inn Express & Suites in the Minneapolis area containing 93 guestrooms.

If our securities are delisted from the NYSE or another nationally-recognized exchange, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including: • a limited availability of market quotations for our securities; • a limited ability of our stockholders to make transactions in our securities; • additional trading restrictions being placed on us; • reduced liquidity with respect to our securities; • a determination that our common stock is “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for the common stock; • a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and • a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. 28 The cash available for distribution may not be sufficient to make distributions at expected levels and we may use borrowed funds or funds from other sources to make distributions.
Added
These lodging properties were classified as Assets held for sale at December 31, 2022 and their carrying values during the year then ended were reduced by $2.9 million to write-down the carrying value of the properties to their net selling price less estimated costs to sell.

Distributions declared by us will be authorized by our board of directors in its sole discretion out of funds legally available for distribution and will depend upon a number of factors, including limitations imposed by our credit facilities, restrictions under applicable law and the capital requirements of our Company.
Added
In June 2023, the GIC Joint Venture acquired the Residence Inn by Marriott located in Scottsdale, AZ containing 120 guestrooms for a purchase price of approximately $29.0 million.
Removed
All distributions will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our earnings, our financial condition, the requirements for qualification as a REIT, restrictions under applicable law and other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant from time to time.
Added
GIC made a capital contribution of $13.7 million, or 49% of the cash paid at closing, to the GIC Joint Venture, and the Operating Partnership made a capital contribution of $14.3 million, or 51% of the cash paid at closing to the GIC Joint Venture, along with $1.0 million of earnest money that was paid from available cash of the GIC Joint Venture to fund the purchase price.
Removed
We may be required to fund distributions from working capital, borrowings under our 2023 Senior Credit Facility, proceeds of future stock offerings or a sale of assets to the extent distributions exceed earnings or cash flows from operations. Funding distributions from working capital would restrict our operations.
Added
The Operating Partnership made its capital contribution to the GIC Joint Venture with available cash on hand and borrowings on our corporate revolving line of credit. In June 2023, the GIC Joint Venture acquired the Nordic Lodge located in Steamboat Springs, CO containing 47 guestrooms for a purchase price of approximately $13.7 million.
Removed
If we borrow from our 2023 Senior Credit Facility to pay distributions, we would be more limited in our ability to execute our strategy of using our 2023 Senior Credit Facility to fund acquisitions or capital expenditures.
Added
GIC made a capital contribution of $6.7 million, or 49% of the purchase price, to the GIC Joint Venture and the Operating Partnership made a capital contribution of $7.0 million, or 51% of the purchase price, to the GIC Joint Venture to fund the purchase price.
Removed
Finally, selling assets may require us to dispose of assets at a time or in a manner that is not consistent with our disposition strategy. If we borrow to fund distributions, our leverage ratios and future interest costs would increase, thereby reducing our earnings and cash available for distribution from what they otherwise would have been.
Added
The Operating Partnership made its capital contribution to the GIC Joint Venture with available cash on hand and borrowings on our corporate revolving line of credit. In December 2023, we completed the sale of the 123-guestroom Hyatt Place in Baltimore (Owings Mills), MD for a gross selling price of $8.3 million.
Removed
We may not be able to make distributions in the future. In addition, some of our distributions may be considered a return of capital for income tax purposes.
Added
The net selling price less costs to sell approximated the net book value of the hotel property on the sale date resulting in a nominal gain that was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Removed
If we decide to make distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, such distributions would generally be considered a return of capital for federal income tax purposes to the extent of the holder’s adjusted tax basis in their shares.
Added
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the GIC Joint Venture entered into a purchase and sale agreement with a third-party to sell the 127-guestroom Hyatt Place Dallas (Plano), TX for $10.3 million.
Removed
A return of capital is not taxable, but it has the effect of reducing the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its investment. If distributions exceed the adjusted tax basis of a holder’s shares, they will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such stock.
Added
We reclassified the property in Assets held for sale, net at December 31, 2023 and recorded a write-down of $4.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 for the excess of the net carrying amount of the portfolio of properties over the net selling price less estimated costs to sell.
Removed
The market price of our stock may be volatile due to numerous circumstances beyond our control. The trading prices of equity securities issued by REITs and other real estate companies historically have been affected by changes in market interest rates.
Added
We completed the sale of the property in February 2024 under the terms described above. In April 2024, we completed the sale of the 202-guestroom Courtyard by Marriott and the 208-guestroom SpringHill Suites by Marriott, both located in New Orleans, LA, for an aggregate selling price of $73.0 million, which resulted in a gain of approximately $28.3 million.
Removed
One of the factors that may influence the market price of our common or preferred stock is the annual yield from distributions on our common or preferred stock, respectively, as compared to yields on other financial instruments.
Added
In April 2024, the GIC Joint Venture completed the sale of the 119-guestroom Hilton Garden Inn - Bryan (College Station), TX for $11.0 million. The net selling price of the lodging property approximated its net book value on the closing date.
Removed
An increase in market interest rates, or a decrease in our distributions to stockholders, may lead prospective purchasers of our common or preferred stock to demand a higher annual yield, which could reduce the market price of our common or preferred stock, respectively.
Added
In October 2024, we completed the sale of the 101-guestroom Four Points by Marriott San Francisco Airport for $17.7 million, which resulted in a gain of approximately $0.4 million.
Removed
Other factors that could affect the market price of our stock include the following: • actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly results of operations; • increases in interest rates; • changes in market valuations of companies in the lodging industry; • changes in expectations of future financial performance or changes in estimates of securities analysts; • fluctuations in stock market prices and volumes; • our issuances of common stock, preferred stock, convertible notes or other securities in the future; • the inclusion of our common stock and preferred stock in equity indices, which could induce additional purchases; • the exclusion of our common stock and preferred stock from equity indices; • the addition or departure of key personnel; • announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, investments or strategic alliances; • unforeseen events beyond our control, such as instability in the national, European or global economy, terrorist attacks, travel-related health concerns including pandemics and epidemics, political instability, regional hostilities, increases in fuel prices, imposition of taxes or surcharges by regulatory authorities and travel-related accidents and unusual weather patterns, including natural disasters; and • changes in the tax laws or regulations to which we are subject.
Added
In December 2024, the GIC Joint Venture acquired the Hampton Inn located in Revere (Boston), MA and the Hilton Garden Inn located in Tysons Corner (Vienna), VA with an aggregate total of 399 guestrooms for a combined purchase price of $96.0 million.
Removed
The market’s perception of our growth potential and our current and potential future cash distributions, whether from operations, sales or refinancings, as well as the real estate market value of the underlying assets, may cause our common and preferred stock to trade at prices that differ from our net asset value per share.
Added
The purchase price (including approximately $0.3 million of acquisition costs) was funded through a combination of a $2.9 million escrow deposit, capital contributions from our GIC Joint Venture partner totaling $21.5 million, $49.5 million of borrowings on our expanded GIC Joint Venture Credit Facility (See “Part II – Item 8. – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 6 - Debt" ), and our capital contribution of $22.4 million from proceeds from the sale of the Four Points by Marriott San Francisco Airport and cash on hand. 45 During the first quarter of 2023, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with a third-party to sell a 5.99-acre parcel of undeveloped land in San Antonio, TX for $1.3 million.
Removed
If we retain operating cash flow for investment purposes, working capital reserves or other purposes, these retained funds, while increasing the value of our underlying assets, may not correspondingly increase the market price of our common and preferred stock.
Added
The property was recorded in Assets held for sale, net at December 31, 2024. In February 2025, we closed the sale of the property. See “Part II –
Removed
Our failure to meet the market’s expectations with regard to future earnings and distributions likely would adversely affect the market price of our common and preferred stock. 29 The trading market for our stock may rely in part on the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us or our business. We do not control these analysts.
Removed
Furthermore, if one or more of the analysts who do cover us downgrades our stock or our industry, or the stock of any of our competitors, the price of our stock could decline.
Removed
If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our Company, we could lose attention in the market, which in turn could cause the price of our stock to decline.
Removed
The number of shares of our common stock and preferred stock available for future sale could adversely affect the market price per share of our common stock and preferred stock, respectively, and future sales by us of shares of our common stock, preferred stock, or issuances by our Operating Partnership of Common Units may be dilutive to existing stockholders.
Removed
Sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock or preferred stock in the public market, or upon exchange of Common Units or exercise of any equity awards, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and preferred stock.
Removed
As of February 9, 2024, all 15,948,628 of the Common Units are redeemable and may in the future be converted into shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis and sold into the public market.
Removed
The exchange of Common Units for common stock, the vesting of any equity-based awards granted to certain directors, executive officers and other employees under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, which was amended and restated effective May 13, 2021 (as amended and restated, the “Equity Plan”), the issuance of our common stock or Common Units in connection with lodging property, portfolio or business acquisitions and other issuances of our common stock or Common Units could have an adverse effect on the market price of the shares of our common stock.
Removed
We may execute future offerings of debt securities, which would be senior to our common and preferred stock upon liquidation, and issuances of equity securities (including Common Units).
Removed
In the future we may offer debt securities and issue equity securities, including convertible notes, Common Units, preferred stock or other preferred shares that may be senior to our common stock for purposes of dividend distributions or upon liquidation.
Removed
Upon liquidation, holders of our debt securities and our preferred shares will receive distributions of our available assets prior to the holders of our common stock. Holders of our common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights or other protections against us offering senior debt or equity securities.
Removed
Therefore, additional common share issuances, directly or through convertible or exchangeable securities (including Common Units), warrants or options, will dilute the holdings of our existing common stockholders and such issuances or the perception of such issuances may reduce the market price of our common stock.
Removed
In addition, new issues of preferred stock could have a preference on liquidating distributions and a preference on dividend payments that could limit our ability to pay a dividend or make another distribution to the holders of our common stock.
Removed
Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of future issuances. Thus, our stockholders bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the market price of our common stock and diluting their interest in us.
Removed
Risks Related to Our Status as a REIT Failure to remain qualified as a REIT would cause us to be taxed as a regular corporation. The REIT rules and regulations are highly technical and complex.
Removed
We believe that our organization and method of operation has enabled us to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT commencing with our short taxable year ended December 31, 2011. However, we cannot provide assurance that we will remain qualified as a REIT.
Removed
Failure to qualify as a REIT could result from a number of situations, including, without limitation: • if the leases of our lodging properties to our TRS Lessees are not respected as true leases for federal income tax purposes; • if our Operating Partnership is treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes; • if our existing or future property management companies do not qualify as “eligible independent contractors” or if our lodging properties are not “qualified lodging facilities,” as required by federal income tax law; or • if we fail to meet any of the required REIT qualifications. 30 If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will face serious tax consequences that will substantially reduce the funds available for distributions to our stockholders because: • we would not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to stockholders in computing our taxable income and would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates; • we could be subject to increased state and local taxes; and • unless we are entitled to relief under certain federal income tax laws, we could not re-elect REIT status until the fifth calendar year after the year in which we failed to qualify as a REIT.

In addition, if we fail to qualify as a REIT, we will no longer be required to make distributions. As a result of all these factors, our failure to qualify as a REIT could impair our ability to expand our business and raise capital, and it could adversely affect the value of our stock.
Removed
Even if we continue to qualify as a REIT, we may face other tax liabilities.
Removed
Even if we continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and assets including, but not limited to taxes on any undistributed income, tax on income from some activities conducted as a result of a foreclosure, and state or local income, property and transfer taxes.
Removed
In addition, our TRSs are subject to regular corporate federal, state and local taxes. Any of these taxes would decrease cash available for distributions to stockholders. Failure to make required distributions would subject us to federal corporate income tax. We intend to operate in a manner so as to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
Removed
To qualify as a REIT, we generally are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain, each year to our stockholders.
Removed
To the extent that we satisfy this distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on our undistributed taxable income.
