Added
Competition The hotel industry is highly competitive with various participants competing on the basis of price, level of service and geographic location. Each of our hotels is located in a developed area that includes other hotel properties.
Added
The number of competitive hotel properties in a particular geographic area could have a material adverse effect on occupancy, ADR and RevPAR of our hotels or at hotel properties we acquire in the future. We believe that brand recognition, location, the quality of the hotel, consistency of services provided, and price are the principal competitive factors affecting our hotels.
Added
Our hotels currently compete primarily in the full-service upscale and upper-upscale segments of the market.
Added
Positive competitive factors affecting our position include geographic location, markets with growth potential and strong franchise partners, while certain disadvantages to our position include limited geographic diversity and smaller size in relation to larger competitors. 12 Seasonality The operations of our hotel properties have historically been seasonal. The months of April and May are traditionally strong, as is October.
Added
The periods from mid-November through mid-February are traditionally slow with the exception of hotels located in certain markets, namely Florida and Texas, which typically experience significant room demand during this period.

Biggest changeOn December 29, 2022, the IRS released proposed regulations under FIRPTA that, if finalized as proposed, include a new “look-through rule” in determining whether a REIT is considered to be “domestically controlled.” In determining ownership, the look-through rule would require a REIT to “look-through” any nonpublic domestic corporation if 25% or more of the corporation’s stock (by value) is owned by foreign persons.
Biggest changeEffective April 25, 2024, the IRS released final regulations under FIRPTA that require a new REIT to “look-through” any nonpublic domestic corporation if more than 50% of the corporation’s stock (by value) is owned (directly or indirectly) by foreign persons in determining whether such REIT is considered to be “domestically controlled.” The final regulations included a transition rule that exempts existing domestically controlled REITs from the “look-through” rule until April 24, 2034 (i.e., 10 years following the effective date of the final regulations) if the following conditions are met—(a) the aggregate value of U.S. real property interests acquired by the REIT after April 25, 2024 does not exceed 20% of the aggregate value of U.S. real property interest held by the REIT as of April 25, 2024, and (b) the REIT does not undergo what is essentially a more than 50% change in ownership (measured by value) by a “non-look-through person” following April 25, 2024.
The HIRE Act includes provisions known as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA"), that generally impose a 30.0% U.S. withholding tax on “withholdable payments,” which consist of (i) U.S.-source dividends, interest, rents and other “fixed or determinable annual or periodical income” paid after June 30, 2014 and (ii) certain U.S.-source gross proceeds paid after December 31, 2018 to (a) “foreign financial institutions” unless (x) they enter into an agreement with the IRS to collect and disclose to the IRS information regarding their direct and indirect U.S. owners or (y) they comply with the terms of any FATCA intergovernmental agreement executed between the authorities in their jurisdiction and the U.S., and (b) “non-financial foreign entities” (i.e., foreign entities that are not foreign financial institutions) unless they certify certain information regarding their direct and indirect U.S. owners.

Incurring debt could subject us to many risks, including the risks that: • our cash flows from operations may be insufficient to make required payments of principal and interest; • our debt may increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions; 28 • we may be required to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing cash available for funds available for operations and capital expenditures, future business opportunities or other purposes; and • the terms of any refinancing may not be in the same amount or on terms as favorable as the terms of the existing debt being refinanced.

FIRPTA does not apply, however, to the disposition of stock in a REIT if the REIT is “domestically controlled” (i.e., less than 50.0% of the REIT’s capital stock, by value, has been owned directly or indirectly by 33 persons who are not qualifying U.S. persons during a continuous five-year period ending on the date of disposition or, if shorter, during the entire period of the REIT’s existence).

We believe that our rent and other transactions with the TRS Lessees are based on arm’s-length amounts and reflect normal business practices, but there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with our belief. Even if the Company remains qualified as a REIT, it may face other tax liabilities that reduce its cash flow.
