.
Organization and Description of Business
Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“Ashford Trust”), is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). While our portfolio currently consists of upscale hotels and upper upscale full-service hotels, our investment strategy is predominantly focused on investing in upper upscale full-service hotels in the U.S. that have revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) generally less than twice the U.S. national average, and in all methods including direct real estate, equity, and debt. Future investments will predominantly be in upper upscale hotels. We own our lodging investments and conduct our business through Ashford Hospitality Limited Partnership (“Ashford Trust OP”), our operating partnership. Ashford OP General Partner LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ashford Trust, serves as the sole general partner of our operating partnership. In this report, terms such as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. and all entities included in its consolidated financial statements.
Our hotel properties are primarily branded under the widely recognized upscale and upper upscale brands of Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott and Intercontinental Hotel Group. As of
June 30, 2020
, we owned interests in the following assets:
•
116
consolidated hotel properties, including
114
directly owned and
two
owned through a majority-owned investment in a consolidated entity, which represent
24,746
total rooms (or
24,719
net rooms excluding those attributable to our partner);
•
90
hotel condominium units at WorldQuest Resort in Orlando, Florida (“WorldQuest”); and
•
17.1
%
ownership in OpenKey with a carrying value of
$
2.7
million
.
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, we have elected to be treated as a REIT, which imposes limitations related to operating hotels. As of
June 30, 2020
, our
116
hotel properties were leased or owned by our wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries that are treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries for U.S. federal income tax purposes (collectively, these subsidiaries are referred to as “Ashford TRS”). Ashford TRS then engages third-party or affiliated hotel management companies to operate the hotels under management contracts. Hotel operating results related to these properties are included in the consolidated statements of operations.
We are advised by Ashford Hospitality Advisors LLC (“Ashford LLC”), a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., through an advisory agreement. 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 employ hotel management companies to operate them for us under management contracts. Remington Hotels, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., manages
79
of our
116
hotel properties and WorldQuest. 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 project management services, debt placement services, audio visual services, real estate advisory services, insurance claims services, hypoallergenic premium rooms, investment management services, broker-dealer and distribution services and mobile key technology.
In June 2020, our board of directors approved a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of 1-for-10. This reverse stock split converted every ten issued and outstanding shares of common stock into one share of common stock. The reverse stock split was effective as of the close of business on July 15, 2020. As a result of the reverse stock split, the number of outstanding shares of common stock was reduced from approximately
104.8
million
shares to approximately
10.5
million
shares. Additionally, the number of outstanding common units, Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) units and Performance LTIP units was reduced from approximately
20.5
million
units to approximately
2.1
million
units. All common stock, common units, LTIP units, Performance LTIP units, PSUs and RSUs as well as per share data related to these classes of equity have been updated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to reflect this reverse stock split for all periods presented.
COVID-19, Management’s Plans and Liquidity
In December 2019, COVID-19 was identified in Wuhan, China, which subsequently spread to other regions of the world, and has resulted in significant travel restrictions and extended shutdown of numerous businesses in every state in the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic. Since late February 2020, we have experienced a significant decline in occupancy and RevPAR and we expect the significant occupancy and RevPAR declines associated with COVID-19 to continue as we are experiencing significant reservation cancellations as well as a significant reduction in new reservations. The prolonged presence of the virus has resulted in health and other government authorities imposing

widespread restrictions on travel and other businesses. The hotel industry and our portfolio have experienced the postponement or cancellation of a significant number of business conferences and similar events. Following the government mandates and health official orders, in March 2020, the Company temporarily suspended operations at
23
of its
116
hotels and dramatically reduced staffing and expenses at its hotels that remain operational. As of June 30, 2020 operations at
five
of the Company’s hotels remain temporarily suspended. COVID-19 has had a significant negative impact on the Company’s operations and financial results to date. The full financial impact of the reduction in hotel demand caused by the pandemic and suspension of operations at the Company’s hotels cannot be reasonably estimated at this time due to uncertainty as to its severity and duration. The Company expects that the COVID-19 pandemic will have a significant negative impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flow for at least the remainder of 2020 and into 2021. As a result, the Company suspended the quarterly cash dividend on its common stock for the first and second quarters, suspended quarterly cash dividend on its preferred stock for the second quarter and reduced planned capital expenditures, and working closely with its hotel managers, significantly reduced its hotels’ operating expenses. The Company’s advisor adopted a remote-work policy at its corporate office in an effort to protect the health and safety of its employees.
Beginning on April 1, 2020, we did not make principal or interest payments under nearly all of our loans, which constituted an “Event of Default” as such term is defined under the applicable loan documents. Pursuant to the terms of the applicable loan documents, such an Event of Default caused an automatic increase in the interest rate on our outstanding loan balance for the period such Event of Default remains outstanding. Following an Event of Default, our lenders can generally elect to accelerate all principal and accrued interest payments that remain outstanding under the applicable loan agreement and foreclose on the applicable hotel properties that are security for such loans. The lenders who hold the mortgage note secured by the Embassy Suites New York Manhattan Times Square (
$
145.0
million
mortgage loan) and the mortgage note secured by the Hilton Scotts Valley hotel in Santa Cruz, California (
$
24.8
million
mortgage loan) have each sent us an acceleration notice which accelerated all payments due under the applicable loan documents. In addition, the lender for the W Hotel in Minneapolis, Minnesota (
$
51.6
million
mortgage loan), the lender for our Rockbridge Portfolio (
$
144.2
million
mortgage loan), which is an
eight
hotel portfolio, and the lender for the portfolio consisting of the Courtyard by Marriott in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Courtyard by Marriott in Louisville, Kentucky and Marriott Residence Inn in Lake Buena Vista, Florida (
$
64.0
million
mortgage loan), have each sent to us a notice of Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) sale, which provides that the respective lender will sell the subsidiaries of the Company that own the respective hotels in a public auction. The Company is in the process of negotiating forbearance agreements with its lenders. At this time, forbearance agreements have been executed on some, but not all of our loans. On July 16, 2020, we reached a forbearance agreement with our lenders for the Highland Pool loan, which is a
$
907.0
million
loan secured by
nineteen
of our hotels. The forbearance agreement allows the Company to defer interest payments for
six months
in exchange for the Company’s agreement to a repayment schedule of the deferred interest payments. In the aggregate, including the Highland Pool loan, we have entered into forbearance and other agreements with varying terms and conditions that conditionally waive or defer payment defaults for loans with a total outstanding principal balance of approximately
$
1.1
billion
out of approximately
$
4.1
billion
in property level debt outstanding as of June 30, 2020. Additionally, certain of the Company's hotel properties are subject to ground leases rather than a fee simple interest, with respect to all or a portion of the real property at those hotels. It is possible the Company will default on some or all of the ground leases within the next twelve months.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of
$
165.5
million
and restricted cash of
$
95.3
million
. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we utilized cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of
$
106.2
million
. We are currently experiencing significant variability in the operating cash flows of our hotel properties, and we continue to negotiate forbearance agreements with our lenders. Additionally as discussed above we have received various acceleration notices and UCC sale notices from our lenders. We are also taking several steps to reduce our cash utilization and potentially raise additional capital. All of these items create uncertainty surrounding future cash flows. As a result of these uncertainties, management cannot reasonably estimate how long the Company's current cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash will last, but if our cash utilization going forward is consistent with the second quarter of 2020 and we do not raise additional capital, it is possible that the Company may utilize all of its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash within the next twelve months.
Based on these factors, the Company has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that in making this determination, the Company cannot consider any remedies that are outside of the Company’s control and have not been fully implemented. As a result, the Company could not consider future potential fundraising activities, whether through equity or debt offerings, dispositions of hotel properties or the likelihood of obtaining forbearance agreements as we could not conclude they were probable of being effectively implemented. Any forbearance agreements will most likely lead to increased costs, increased interest rates, additional restrictive covenants and other possible lender protections. In addition to or in lieu of obtaining forbearance agreements as described above, the Company could transfer the hotels securing the mortgage loans to the respective lenders.

Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
—The accompanying unaudited 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 accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc., its majority-owned subsidiaries, and its majority-owned joint ventures in which it has a controlling interest. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP in the accompanying unaudited 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
2019
Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on
March 12, 2020
.
Ashford Trust 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 Ashford Trust 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, Ashford Trust OP General Partner LLC, its general partner. As such, we consolidate Ashford Trust OP.
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, 2020
, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2020

Use of Estimates
—The preparation of these 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.
Income Taxes
—On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law and includes certain income tax provisions relevant to businesses. The Company is required to recognize the effect on the consolidated financial statements in the period the law was enacted. For the period ended
June 30, 2020
, the CARES Act did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. At this time, the Company does not expect the impact of the CARES Act to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2020.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
—In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updated (“ASU”) 2016-13,
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit
12
Table of Contents
ASHFORD HOSPITALITY TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)
Losses on Financial Instruments
(“ASU 2016-13”). The ASU sets forth an “expected credit loss” impairment model to replace the current “incurred loss” method of recognizing credit losses. The standard requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for most financial assets held. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19,
Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses
(“ASU 2018-19”). ASU 2018-19 clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842,
Leases
. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10,
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates
(“ASU 2019-10”). ASU 2019-10 updates the effective dates for ASU 2016-13, but there is no change for public companies. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11,
Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
(“ASU 2019-11”). ASU 2019-11, clarifies specific issues within the amendments of ASU 2016-13. We adopted the standard effective January 1, 2020 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
—In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01,
Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)
(“ASU 2020-01”), which clarifies the interaction between the accounting for equity securities, equity method investments, and certain derivative instruments. The ASU, among other things, clarifies that a company should consider observable transactions that require a company to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting under Topic 323, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures, for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321 immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. ASU 2020-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2020-01 may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)
(“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply the elections as applicable as changes in the market occur.

Hotel Disposition and Impairment Charges
Hotel Disposition
On
March 9, 2020
, the Company sold the Crowne Plaza in Annapolis, Maryland for approximately
$
5.1
million
in cash. The net carrying value was approximately
$
2.1
million
. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately
$
3.6
million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
, which was included in “gain (loss) on sale of assets and hotel properties” in the consolidated statements of operations.
Impairment Charges
During the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2020
, we recorded impairment charges of
$
27.6
million
and
$
55.2
million
, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the impairment charge was comprised of
$
13.9
million
at the Columbus Hampton Inn Easton,
$
10.0
million
at the Canonsburg Homewood Suites Pittsburgh Southpointe and
$
3.7
million
at the Phoenix Hampton Inn Airport North as a result of reduced estimated cash flows resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and changes to the expected holding periods of these hotel properties.
On July 9, 2020, the non-recourse mortgage loan secured by eight hotel properties matured. The lender has provided notice of UCC sale, which provides that the respective lender will sell the subsidiaries of the Company that own the respective hotels in a public auction. As a result, as of June 30, 2020, the estimated fair value of each hotel property was compared to its carrying value.

Beginning on April 1, 2020, we did not make principal or interest payments under nearly all of our loans, which constituted an “Event of Default” as such term is defined under the applicable loan documents. Pursuant to the terms of the applicable loan documents, such an Event of Default caused an automatic increase in the interest rate on our outstanding loan balance for the period such Event of Default remains outstanding. Following an Event of Default, our lenders can generally elect to accelerate all principal and accrued interest payments that remain outstanding under the applicable loan agreement and foreclose on the applicable hotel properties that are security for such loans. The lenders who hold the mortgage note secured by the Embassy Suites New York Manhattan Times Square (
$
145.0
million
mortgage loan) and the mortgage note secured by the Hilton Scotts Valley hotel in Santa Cruz, California (
$
24.8
million
mortgage loan) have each sent us an acceleration notice which accelerated all payments due under the applicable loan documents. In addition, the lender for the W Hotel in Minneapolis, Minnesota (
$
51.6
million
mortgage loan), the lender for our Rockbridge Portfolio (
$
144.2
million
mortgage loan), which is an
eight
hotel portfolio, and the lender for the portfolio consisting of the Courtyard by Marriott in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Courtyard by Marriott in Louisville, Kentucky and Marriott Residence Inn in Lake Buena Vista, Florida (
$
64.0
million
mortgage loan), have each sent to us a notice of UCC sale, which provides that the respective lender will sell the subsidiaries of the Company that own the respective hotels in a public auction. The Company is in the process of negotiating forbearance agreements with its lenders. At this time, forbearance agreements have been executed on some, but not all of our loans. On July 16, 2020, we reached a forbearance agreement with our lenders for the Highland Pool loan, which is a
$
907.0
million
loan secured by
nineteen
of our hotels. The forbearance agreement allows the Company to defer interest payments for
six months
in exchange for the Company’s agreement to a repayment schedule of the deferred interest payments. In the aggregate, including the Highland Pool loan, we have entered into forbearance and other agreements with varying terms and conditions that conditionally waive or defer payment defaults for loans with a total outstanding principal balance of
$
1.1
billion
out of
$
4.1
billion
in property level debt outstanding as of June 30, 2020. See note
15
for discussion of the loan modification agreement with Lismore.
In addition, the senior lenders and mezzanine lenders who hold notes secured by the Embassy Suites New York Manhattan Times Square are parties to a guaranty with a third party, which guaranty the mezzanine lenders can call upon to make payment of up to
$
20
million
now that the mezzanine loans have been accelerated. As of June 30, 2020, the principal and accrued interest amount of the notes currently held by the senior lenders, senior mezzanine lenders and junior mezzanine lenders is approximately
$

million
,
$
27.4
million
and
$
10.5
million
, respectively. If the lenders call upon the guaranty, and the third party guarantor makes payments under the guaranty, the guarantor has the right to require us to reimburse them for the amount paid under the guaranty. If we do not reimburse the guarantor, the guarantor will have the option to purchase the equity in the entity which owns the Embassy Suites New York Manhattan Times Square hotel for

Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Interest Rate Derivatives
—We are exposed to risks arising from our business operations, economic conditions and financial markets. To manage these risks, we primarily use interest rate derivatives to hedge our debt and our cash flows. The interest rate derivatives currently include interest rate caps and interest rate floors. These derivatives are subject to master netting settlement arrangements. To mitigate the nonperformance risk, we routinely use a third party’s analysis of the creditworthiness of the counterparties, which supports our belief that the counterparties’ nonperformance risk is limited. All derivatives are recorded at fair value.

Credit Default Swap Derivatives
—We use credit default swaps, tied to the CMBX index, to hedge financial and capital market risk. A credit default swap is a derivative contract that functions like an insurance policy against the credit risk of an entity or obligation. The seller of protection assumes the credit risk of the reference obligation from the buyer (us) of protection in exchange for annual premium payments. If a default or a loss, as defined in the credit default swap agreements, occurs on the underlying bonds, then the buyer of protection is protected against those losses. The only liability for us, the buyer, is the annual premium and any change in value of the underlying CMBX index (if the trade is terminated prior to maturity). For all CMBX trades completed to date, we were the buyer of protection. Credit default swaps are subject to master-netting settlement arrangements and credit support annexes. As of
June 30, 2020
, we held credit default swaps with notional amounts totaling
$
212.5
million
. These credit default swaps had effective dates from
February 2015
to
August 2017
and expected maturity dates from
October 2023
to
October 2026
. Assuming the underlying bonds pay off at par over their remaining average life, our total exposure for these trades was approximately
$
3.4
million
as of
June 30, 2020
.
Cash collateral is posted by us as well as our counterparties. We offset the fair value of the derivative and the obligation/right to return/reclaim cash collateral. The change in market value of credit default swaps

Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Hierarchy
—For disclosure purposes, financial instruments, whether measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis or not measured at fair value, are classified in a hierarchy consisting of three levels based on the observability of valuation inputs in the market place 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.
Fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts/payments and the discounted expected variable cash payments/receipts. Fair values of interest rate caps, floors, flooridors and corridors are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates fell below the strike rates of the floors or rise above the strike rates of the caps. Variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts and payments on the swaps, caps, and floors are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves (LIBOR 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.
Fair values of credit default swaps are obtained from a third party who publishes various information including the index composition and price data (Level 2 inputs). The fair value of credit default swaps does not contain credit-risk-related adjustments as the change in fair value is settled net through posting cash collateral or reclaiming cash collateral between us and our counterparty.
Fair values of interest rate floors are calculated using a third-party discounted cash flow model based on future cash flows that are expected to be received over the remaining life of the floor. These expected future cash flows are probability-weighted projections based on the contract terms, accounting for both the magnitude and likelihood of potential payments, which are both computed using the appropriate LIBOR forward curve and market implied volatilities as of the valuation date (Level 2 inputs).
Fair value of options on futures contracts is determined based on the last reported settlement price as of the measurement date (Level 1 inputs). These exchange-traded options are centrally cleared, and a clearinghouse stands in between all trades to ensure that the obligations involved in the trades are satisfied.
Fair values of marketable securities and liabilities associated with marketable securities, including public equity securities, equity put and call options, and other investments, are based on their quoted market closing prices (Level 1 inputs).
Fair values of hotel properties are based on methodologies which include the development of the discounted cash flow method of the income approach with support based on the market approach (Level 3 inputs). See note
5
.
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 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, 2020
, the LIBOR interest rate forward curve (Level 2 inputs) assumed a downtrend from
0.162
%
to
0.101
%
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.

Marketable securities.
Marketable securities consist of U.S. treasury bills, publicly traded equity securities, and put and call options on certain publicly traded equity securities. The fair value of these investments is based on quoted market closing prices at the balance sheet date. See note
10
for a complete description of the methodology and assumptions utilized in determining the fair values.
Derivative assets, net and derivative liabilities, net.
Fair value of interest rate caps is determined using the net present value of expected cash flows of each derivative based on the market-based interest rate curve and adjusted for credit spreads of us and our counterparties. Fair values of credit default swap derivatives are obtained from a third party who publishes the CMBX index composition and price data. Fair values of interest rate floors are calculated using a third-party discounted cash flow model based on future cash flows that are expected to be received over the remaining life of the floor. Fair values of options on futures contracts are valued at their last reported settlement price as of the measurement date. See notes
9
and
10
for a complete description of the methodology and assumptions utilized in determining fair values.

Indebtedness.
Fair value of indebtedness is determined using future cash flows discounted at current replacement rates for these instruments. Cash flows are determined using a forward interest rate yield curve. Current replacement rates are determined by using the U.S. Treasury yield curve or the index to which these financial instruments are tied and adjusted for credit spreads. Credit spreads take into consideration general market conditions, maturity, and collateral. We estimated the fair value of total indebtedness to be approximately
88.4
%
to
97.7
%
of the carrying value of
$
4.1

and approximately

%
to
104.0
%
of the carrying value of
$

December 31, 2019
. These fair value estimates are considered a Level 2 valuation technique.

Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per common share is calculated using the two-class method by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per common share is calculated using the two-class method, or treasury stock method if more dilutive, and reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common shares, whereby such exercise or conversion would result in lower income per share.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership
Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership represents the limited partners’ proportionate share of equity in earnings/losses of the operating partnership, which is an allocation of net income/loss attributable to the common unit holders 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 the units issued under our Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP units”) that are vested. Each common unit may be redeemed 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 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, have vesting periods ranging from
three years
to
five 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 the 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 the operating partnership or (ii) the hypothetical sale of such assets, which results from a capital account revaluation, as defined in the partnership agreement, for the operating partnership. In March 2020,
28,000
LTIP units with a fair value of approximately
$
372,000
and a vesting period of
three years
were granted.
In May 2020, approximately
70,000
LTIP units were issued to independent directors with a fair value of approximately
$
422,000
, which vested immediately upon grant. In addition, in May 2020, approximately
16,000
LTIP units were issued to independent directors with a fair value of approximately
$
107,000
, which vested immediately upon grant. This grant represented a portion of the annual cash retainer for each independent director serving on the Company’s board of directors and will be amortized to equity-based compensation expense over the next
12 months
. See note
18
.
The compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company 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 Ashford Trust OP, if, when and to the extent the applicable vesting criteria have been achieved following the end of the performance and service period. The number of Performance LTIP units actually earned may range from
0
%
to
200
%
of target based on achievement of specified absolute and relative total stockholder returns based on the formulas determined by the Company’s compensation committee on the grant date. As of
June 30, 2020
, there were approximately
130,000
Performance LTIP units, representing
200
%
of the target number granted, outstanding. The performance criteria for the Performance LTIP units are based on market conditions under the relevant literature, and the

Performance LTIP units were granted to non-employees. During the
six months ended June 30, 2020
, approximately
109,000
performance-based LTIP units were canceled due to the market condition criteria not being met. As a result there was a claw back of the previously declared dividends in the amount of
$
1.4
million
.
In March 2020,
50,000
Performance LTIP units with a fair value of
$

and a vesting period of

were granted.
As of
June 30, 2020
, we have issued a total of
1.2
million
LTIP and Performance LTIP units, net of Performance LTIP cancellations. All LTIP and Performance LTIP units other than approximately
171,000
units (
50,000
of which are Performance LTIP units) have reached full economic parity with, and are convertible into, common units upon vesting.

$
1.9
million
for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which is included in “advisory services fees” on our consolidated statement of operations. Additionally, as a result of the forfeiture there was a claw back of the previously declared dividends in the amount of

Ashford Inc.
Advisory Agreement
Ashford LLC, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., acts as our advisor. Our chairman, Mr. Monty J. Bennett, also serves as chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer of Ashford Inc.
Under our advisory agreement, we pay advisory fees to Ashford LLC. We are required to pay Ashford LLC a monthly base fee that is a percentage of our total market capitalization on a declining sliding scale plus the Net Asset Fee Adjustment, as defined in the advisory agreement, subject to a minimum monthly base fee, as payment for managing our day-to-day operations in accordance with our investment guidelines. Total market capitalization includes the aggregate principal amount of our consolidated indebtedness (including our proportionate share of debt of any entity that is not consolidated but excluding our joint venture partners’ proportionate share of consolidated debt). The range of base fees on the scale is between
0.70
%
and
0.50
%
per annum for total market capitalization that ranges from less than
$
6.0
billion
to greater than
$
10.0
billion
. At
June 30, 2020
, the monthly base fee was
0.70
%
based on our current market capitalization. We are also required to pay Ashford LLC an incentive fee that is measured annually (or stub period if the advisory agreement is terminated at other than year-end). Each year that our annual total stockholder return exceeds the average annual total stockholder return for our peer group we pay Ashford LLC an incentive fee over the following
three years
, subject to the FCCR Condition, as defined in the advisory agreement, which relates to the ratio of adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges. We also reimburse Ashford LLC for certain reimbursable overhead and internal audit, risk management advisory and asset management services, as specified in the advisory agreement. We also record equity-based compensation expense for equity grants of common stock and LTIP units awarded to our officers and employees of Ashford LLC in connection with providing advisory services equal to the fair value of the award in proportion to the requisite service period satisfied during the period.

Lismore Advisory Fee
On March 20, 2020, Lismore Capital LLC (“Lismore”), a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., entered into an agreement with the Company to seek modifications, forbearances or refinancings of the Company’s loans (the “Ashford Trust Agreement”). Pursuant to the Ashford Trust Agreement, Lismore shall, during the agreement term (which commenced on March 20, 2020 and shall end on the date that is twelve months following the commencement date, or upon it being terminated by Ashford Trust on not less than thirty days written notice) negotiate the refinancing, modification or forbearance of the existing mortgage debt on Ashford Trust’s hotels. For the purposes of the Ashford Trust Agreement, financing shall include, without limitation, senior or subordinate loan financing, provided in any single transaction or a combination of transactions, including, mortgage loan financing, mezzanine loan financing, or subordinate loan financing encumbering the applicable hotel or unsecured loan financing.
On July 1, 2020, the Company amended and restated the agreement with Lismore with an effective date of April 6, 2020. Pursuant to the amended and restated agreement, the term of the agreement was extended to
24
months
following the commencement date. In connection with the services provided by Lismore under the amended and restated agreement, Lismore is entitled to receive a fee of approximately
$
2.6
million
in
three
equal installments of approximately
$
857,000
per month beginning July 20, 2020,
31
Table of Contents
ASHFORD HOSPITALITY TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

and ending on September 20, 2020. Lismore is also entitled to receive a fee that is calculated and payable as follows: (i) a fee equal to 25 basis points (
0.25
%
) of the amount of a loan, payable upon the acceptance by the applicable lender of any forbearance or extension of such loan, or in the case where a third-party agent or contractor engaged by the Company has secured an extension of the maturity date equal to or greater than
12
months
of any such loan, then the amount payable to Lismore shall be reduced to 10 basis points (
0.10
%
); (ii) a fee equal to 75 basis points (
0.75
%
) of the amount of any principal reduction of a loan upon the acceptance by any lender of any principal reduction of such loan; and (iii) a fee equal to 150 basis points (
1.50
%
) of the implied conversion value (but in any case, no less than
50
%
percent of the face value of such loan or loans) of a loan upon the acceptance by any lender of any debt to equity conversion of such loan.
At the time of amendment, the Company had paid Lismore approximately
$
8.3
million
, in the aggregate, pursuant to the original agreement. Under the amended and restated agreement, the Company is still entitled, in the event that the Company does not complete, for any reason, extensions or forbearances during the term of the agreement equal to or greater than approximately
$
4.1
billion
, to offset, against any fees the Company or its affiliates owe pursuant to the advisory agreement, a portion of the fee previously paid by the Company to Lismore equal to the product of (x) approximately
$
4.1
billion
minus the amount of extensions or forbearances completed during the term of the agreement multiplied by (y)
0.125
%
. Upon entering into the agreement with Lismore, the Company made a payment of
$
5.1
million
. No amounts under this payment can be clawed back. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has also paid
$
2.6
million
related to periodic installments of which

Ashford Securities
On September 25, 2019, Ashford Inc. announced the formation of Ashford Securities to raise retail capital in order to grow its existing and future platforms. In conjunction with the formation of Ashford Securities, Ashford Trust has entered into a contribution agreement with Ashford Inc. pursuant to which Ashford Trust has agreed to contribute, with Braemar Hotels & Resorts Inc. (“Braemar”), up to
$
15
million
to fund the operations of Ashford Securities. As of

The initial term of the ERFP Agreement is
two years
(the “Initial Term”), unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of the ERFP Agreement. At the end of the Initial Term, the ERFP Agreement shall automatically renew for successive
one year
periods (each such period a “Renewal Term”) unless either Ashford Inc. or Ashford Trust provides written notice to the other at least
sixty days
in advance of the expiration of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable, that such notifying party intends not to renew the ERFP Agreement.
As a result of the Embassy Suites New York Manhattan Times Square acquisition in 2019, under the ERFP Agreement, we are entitled to receive
$
19.5
million
from Ashford LLC in the form of future purchases of hotel FF&E. In the second quarter of 2019, the Company sold
$
8.1
million
of hotel FF&E from certain Ashford Trust hotel properties to Ashford LLC. On March 13, 2020, an extension agreement was entered into whereby the required FF&E acquisition date by Ashford LLC of the remaining
$

million
was extended to December 31, 2022.
Project Management Agreement
In connection with Ashford Inc.’s August 8, 2018 acquisition of Remington Lodging’s project management business, we entered into a project management agreement with Ashford Inc.’s subsidiary, Premier Project Management LLC (“Premier”), pursuant to which Premier provides project management services to our hotels, including construction management, interior design, architectural services, and the purchasing, freight management, and supervision of installation of FF&E and related services. Pursuant to the project management agreement, we pay Premier: (a) project management fees of up to
4
%
of project costs; and (b) market service fees at current market rates with respect to construction management, interior design, FF&E purchasing, FF&E expediting/freight management, FF&E warehousing and FF&E installation and supervision. On March 20, 2020, we amended the project management agreement to provide that Premier's fees shall be paid by the Company to Premier upon the completion of any work provided by third party vendors to the Company.
Hotel Management Agreement
On November 6, 2019, Ashford Inc. completed the acquisition of Remington Lodging’s hotel management business. As a result of the acquisition, hotel management services are provided by Remington Hotels, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., under the respective hotel management agreement with each customer, including Ashford Trust and Braemar.
At
June 30, 2020
, Remington Hotels managed
79
of our
116
hotel properties and the WorldQuest condominium properties.
We pay monthly hotel management fees equal to the greater of approximately
$
14,000
per hotel (increased annually based on consumer price index adjustments) or
3
%
of gross revenues as well as annual incentive management fees, if certain operational criteria were met and other general and administrative expense reimbursements primarily related to accounting services.
Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement dated March 13, 2020 (the “Hotel Management Letter Agreement”), in order to allow Remington Hotels to better manage its corporate working capital and to ensure the continued efficient operation of our hotels, we agreed to pay the base fee and to reimburse all expenses on a weekly basis for the preceding week, rather than on a monthly basis. The Hotel Management Letter Agreement went into effect on March 13, 2020 and will continue until terminated by us.
We also have a mutual exclusivity agreement with Remington Hotels, pursuant to which: (i) we have agreed to engage Remington Hotels to provide management services with respect to any hotel we acquire or invest in, to the extent we have the right and/or control the right to direct the management of such hotel; and (ii) Remington Hotels has agreed to grant us a right of first refusal to purchase any opportunity to develop or construct a hotel that it identifies that meets our initial investment guidelines. We are not, however, obligated to engage Remington Hotels if our independent directors either: (i) unanimously vote to hire a different manager or developer; or (ii) by a majority vote elect not to engage such related party because either special circumstances exist such that it would be in the best interest of our Company not to engage such related party, or, based on the related party’s prior performance, it is believed that another manager could perform the management or other duties materially better.

Franchise Fees
—Under franchise agreements for our hotel properties existing at
June 30, 2020
, we pay franchisor royalty fees between
3
%
and
6
%
of gross rooms revenue and, in some cases,
1
%
to
3
%
of food and beverage revenues. Additionally, we pay fees for marketing, reservations, and other related activities aggregating between
1
%
and
4
%
of gross rooms revenue and, in some cases, food and beverage revenues. These franchise agreements expire on varying dates between
2021
and
2047
. When a franchise term expires, the franchisor has no obligation to renew the franchise. A franchise termination could have a material adverse effect on the operations or the underlying value of the affected hotel due to loss of associated name recognition, marketing support, and centralized reservation systems provided by the franchisor. A franchise termination could also have a material adverse effect on cash available for distribution to stockholders. In addition, if we breach the franchise agreement and the franchisor terminates a franchise prior to its expiration date, we may be liable for up to three times the average annual fees incurred for that property.

Management Fees
—Under hotel management agreements for our hotel properties existing at
June 30, 2020
, we pay monthly hotel management fees equal to the greater of approximately
$
14,000
per hotel (increased annually based on consumer price index adjustments) or
3
%
of gross revenues, or in some cases
1
%
to
7
%
of gross revenues, as well as annual incentive management fees, if applicable. These hotel management agreements expire from
2021
through
2038
, with renewal options. If we terminate a hotel management agreement prior to its expiration, we may be liable for estimated management fees through the remaining term and liquidated damages or, in certain circumstances, we may substitute a new management agreement.
Income Taxes
—We and our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the federal jurisdiction and various states. Tax years 2016 through 2019 remain subject to potential examination by certain federal and state taxing authorities.
Potential Pension Liabilities
—Upon our 2006 acquisition of a hotel property, certain employees of such hotel were unionized and covered by a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan. At that time,
no
unfunded pension liabilities existed. Subsequent to our acquisition, a majority of employees, who are employees of the hotel manager, Remington Lodging, petitioned the employer to withdraw recognition of the union. As a result of the decertification petition, Remington Lodging withdrew recognition of the union. At the time of the withdrawal, the National Retirement Fund, the union’s pension fund, indicated unfunded pension liabilities existed. The National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) filed a complaint against Remington Lodging seeking, among other things, a ruling that Remington Lodging’s withdrawal of recognition was unlawful. The pension fund entered into a settlement agreement with Remington Lodging on November 1, 2011, providing that Remington Lodging will continue to make monthly pension fund payments pursuant to the collective bargaining agreement. As of
June 30, 2020
, Remington Lodging continues to comply with the settlement agreement by making the appropriate monthly pension fund payments. If Remington Lodging does not comply with the settlement agreement, we have agreed to indemnify Remington Lodging for the payment of the unfunded pension liability, if any, as set forth in the settlement agreement equal to
$
1.7
million
minus the monthly pension payments made by Remington Lodging since the settlement agreement. To illustrate, if Remington Lodging - as of the date a final determination occurs - has made monthly pension payments equaling
$
100,000
, Remington Lodging’s remaining withdrawal liability would be the unfunded pension liability of
$
1.7
million
minus
$
100,000
(or
$
1.6
million
). This remaining unfunded pension liability would be paid to the pension fund in annual installments of
$
84,000
(but may be made monthly or quarterly, at Remington Lodging’s election), which shall continue for the remainder of
twenty years
, which is capped, unless Remington Lodging elects to pay the unfunded pension liability amount earlier.
Litigation
—
Palm Beach Florida Hotel and Office Building Limited Partnership, et al. v. Nantucket Enterprises, Inc.
This litigation involves a landlord tenant dispute from 2008 in which the landlord, Palm Beach Florida Hotel and Office Building Limited Partnership, a subsidiary of the Company, claimed that the tenant had violated various lease provisions of the lease agreement and was therefore in default. The tenant counterclaimed and asserted multiple claims including that it had been wrongfully evicted. The litigation was instituted by the plaintiff in November 2008 in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, in and for Palm Beach County, Florida and proceeded to a jury trial on June 30, 2014. The jury entered its verdict awarding the tenant total claims of
$
10.8
million
and ruling against the landlord on its claim of breach of contract. In 2016, the Court of Appeals reduced the original
$
10.8
million
judgment to
$
8.8
million
and added pre-judgment interest on the wrongful eviction judgment. The case was further appealed to the Florida Supreme Court. On May 23, 2017, the trial court issued an order compelling the company that issued the supersedeas bond, RLI Insurance Company (“RLI”), to pay approximately
$
10.0
million
. On June 1,

2017, RLI paid Nantucket this amount and sought reimbursement from the Company, and on June 7, 2017, the Company paid
$
2.5
million
of the judgment. On June 27, 2017, the Florida Supreme Court denied the Company’s petition for review. As a result, all of the appeals were exhausted and the judgment was final with the determination and reimbursement of attorney’s fees being the only remaining dispute. On June 29, 2017, the balance of the judgment of
$
3.9
million
was paid to Nantucket by the Company. On July 26, 2018, we paid
$
544,000
as part of a settlement on certain legal fees. The negotiations relating to the potential payment of the remaining attorney’s fees are still ongoing. As of
June 30, 2020
, we have accrued approximately
$
504,000
in legal fees, which represents the Company’s estimate of the amount of potential remaining legal fees that could be owed.
On December 4, 2015, Pedro Membrives filed a class action lawsuit against
HHC TRS FP Portfolio LLC, Remington Lodging & Hospitality, LLC, Remington Holdings LLC, Mark A. Sharkey, Archie Bennett, Jr., Monty J. Bennett, Christopher Peckham, and any other related entities
in the Supreme Court of New York, Nassau County, Commercial Division. On August 30, 2016, the complaint was amended to add Michele Spero as a Plaintiff and Remington Long Island Employers, LLC as a defendant. The lawsuit is captioned
Pedro Membrives and Michele Spero, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated v.
HHC TRS FP Portfolio LLC, Remington Lodging & Hospitality, LLC, Remington Holdings LLC, Remington Long Island Employers, LLC, et al
., Index No. 607828/2015 (Sup. Ct. Nassau Cty.)
. The plaintiffs
allege that the owner and management company of the Hyatt Regency Long Island hotel violated New York law by improperly retaining service charges rather than distributing them to employees. In 2017, the class was certified.
On July 24, 2018, the trial court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment on liability. The defendants appealed the summary judgment to the New York State Appellate Division, Second Department (the “Second Department”), and the appeal is still pending. By Order dated May 7, 2020, the Second Department referred the matter for mandatory mediation. The parties participated in mediation on June 22, 2020, however, they were not able to arrive at mutually acceptable settlement terms. Notwithstanding the pending appeal on the summary judgment issue, the trial court continued the litigation with respect to the plaintiffs’ alleged damages. The plaintiffs filed an application for damages on August 28, 2019. The defendants filed their opposition to the plaintiffs’ application for damages on October 11, 2019. The plaintiffs filed their reply on October 25, 2019. The defendants intend to vigorously defend against the plaintiffs’ claims and the Company does not believe that an unfavorable outcome is probable. If, however, the plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment on liability is upheld and the Company is unsuccessful in any further appeals, the Company estimates that damages could range between approximately
$
5.8
million
and
$
11.9
million
plus attorneys’ fees. As of
June 30, 2020
,
no
amounts have been accrued.
In June 2020, each of the Company, Braemar, Ashford Inc., and Lismore, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc. (collectively with the Company, Braemar, Ashford Inc. and Lismore, the “Ashford Companies”), received an administrative subpoena from the SEC. The administrative subpoena requests the production of documents and other information since January 1, 2018 relating to, among other things, (1) related party transactions among the Ashford Companies (including the agreement between the Company and Lismore pursuant to which the Company engaged Lismore to negotiate the refinancing, modification or forbearance of certain mortgage debt) or between any of the Ashford Companies and any officer, director or owner of the Ashford Companies or any entity controlled by any such person, and (2) the Company’s accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls related to such related party transactions. The Company is responding to the administrative subpoena.
We are engaged in other various legal proceedings which have arisen but have not been fully adjudicated. The likelihood of loss from these legal proceedings is based on the definitions within contingency accounting literature. Based on estimates of the range of potential losses associated with these matters, management does 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. However, the final results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and if we fail to 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 or results of operations could be materially adversely affected in future periods.

Subsequent Event
On March 16, 2020, the Company announced that in light of the uncertainty created by the effects of COVID-19, the annual cash retainer for each independent director serving on the Company’s board of directors would be temporarily reduced by
25
%
and would continue in effect until the board of directors determined in its discretion that the effects of COVID-19 had subsided. The Company also disclosed at that time that any amounts relinquished pursuant to the reduction in fees may be paid in the future, as determined by the board of directors in its discretion. On August 3, 2020, the Company announced that for fiscal year 2020, the independent directors will receive the full value of their annual cash retainer (without reduction). However, all remaining quarterly installments of the annual cash retainer (and any additional cash retainers for committee service or service as lead director), will instead be paid in either fully vested shares of common stock or LTIP units (at each director’s election). The board of directors currently intends to continue paying the value of all cash retainers to independent directors in the form of equity through the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, at which time the board of directors currently intends to re-examine the program.

Overview
Based on our primary business objectives and forecasted operating conditions, our current key priorities and financial strategies include, among other things:
•
adjusting cost and operational models due to the impact of COVID-19 on the hotel industry;
•
maintain maximum cash and cash equivalents liquidity;
•
completion of the preferred stock exchange offering;
•
negotiate forbearance and other agreements with lenders as necessary with respect to our loans that are in default;
•
disposition of non-core hotel properties;
•
pursuing capital market activities to enhance long-term stockholder value;
•
implementing selective capital improvements designed to increase profitability;
•
implementing effective asset management strategies to minimize operating costs and increase revenues;
•
financing or refinancing hotels on competitive terms;
•
utilizing hedges and derivatives to mitigate risks; and
•
making other investments or divestitures that our board of directors deems appropriate.
Our current investment strategy is to focus on owning predominantly full-service hotels in the upper upscale segments in domestic markets that have revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) generally less than twice the U.S. national average. We believe that as supply, demand, and capital market cycles change, we will be able to shift our investment strategy to take advantage of new lodging-related investment opportunities as they may develop. Our board of directors may change our investment strategy at any time without stockholder approval or notice. We will continue to seek ways to benefit from the cyclical nature of the hotel industry.
We are advised by Ashford LLC, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., through an advisory agreement. 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 employ hotel management companies to operate them for us under management contracts. As of
June 30, 2020
, Remington Hotels, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., managed
79
of our
116
hotel properties and WorldQuest. 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 project management services, debt placement services, audio visual services, real estate advisory services, insurance claims services, hypoallergenic premium rooms, investment management services, broker-dealer and distribution services and mobile key technology.

Recent Developments
COVID-19, Management’s Plans and Liquidity
In December 2019, COVID-19 was identified in Wuhan, China, which subsequently spread to other regions of the world, and has resulted in significant travel restrictions and extended shutdown of numerous businesses in every state in the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic. Since late February 2020, we have experienced a significant decline in occupancy and RevPAR and we expect the significant occupancy and RevPAR declines associated with COVID-19 to continue as we are experiencing significant reservation cancellations as well as a significant reduction in new reservations. The prolonged presence of the virus has resulted in health and other government authorities imposing widespread restrictions on travel and other businesses. The hotel industry and our portfolio have experienced the postponement or cancellation of a significant number of business conferences and similar events. Following the government mandates and health official orders, in March 2020, the Company temporarily suspended operations at
23
of its
116
hotels and dramatically reduced staffing and expenses at its hotels that remain operational. As of June 30, 2020 operations at five of the Company’s hotels remain temporarily suspended. COVID-19 has had a significant negative impact on the Company’s operations and financial results to date. The full financial impact of the reduction in hotel demand caused by the pandemic and suspension of operations at the Company’s hotels cannot be reasonably estimated at this time due to uncertainty as to its severity and duration. The Company expects that the COVID-19 pandemic will have a significant negative impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flow for at least the remainder of 2020 and into 2021. As a result, the Company suspended the quarterly cash dividend on its common shares for the first and second quarters of 2020 and likely for all of 2020, suspended quarterly cash dividend on its preferred stock for the second quarter, reduced planned capital expenditures, and working closely with its hotel managers, significantly reduced its hotels’ operating expenses. The Company’s advisor adopted a remote-work policy at its corporate office in an effort to protect the health and safety of its employees and does not anticipate these policies to have any adverse impact on its ability to continue to operate its business.
Beginning on April 1, 2020, we did not make principal or interest payments under nearly all of our loans, which constituted an “Event of Default” as such term is defined under the applicable loan documents. Pursuant to the terms of the applicable loan documents, such an Event of Default caused an automatic increase in the interest rate on our outstanding loan balance for the period such Event of Default remains outstanding. Following an Event of Default, our lenders can generally elect to accelerate all principal and accrued interest payments that remain outstanding under the applicable loan agreement and foreclose on the applicable hotel properties that are security for such loans. The lenders who hold the mortgage note secured by the Embassy Suites New York Manhattan Times Square (
$145.0 million
mortgage loan) and the mortgage note secured by the Hilton Scotts Valley hotel in Santa Cruz, California (
$24.8 million
mortgage loan) have each sent us an acceleration notice which accelerated all payments due under the applicable loan documents. In addition, the lender for the W Hotel in Minneapolis, Minnesota (
$51.6 million
mortgage loan), the lender for our Rockbridge Portfolio (
$144.2 million
mortgage loan), which is an eight hotel portfolio, and the lender for the portfolio consisting of the Courtyard by Marriott in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Courtyard by Marriott in Louisville, Kentucky and Marriott Residence Inn in Lake Buena Vista, Florida (
$64.0 million
mortgage loan), have each sent to us a notice of UCC sale, which provides that the respective lender will sell the subsidiaries of the Company that own the respective hotels in a public auction. The Company is in the process of negotiating forbearance agreements with its lenders. At this time, forbearance agreements have been executed on some, but not all of our loans. On July 16, 2020, we reached a forbearance agreement with our lenders for the Highland Pool loan, which is a
$907.0 million
loan secured by nineteen of our hotels. The forbearance agreement allows the Company to defer interest payments for six months in exchange for the Company’s agreement to a repayment schedule of the deferred interest payments. In the aggregate, including the Highland Pool loan, we have entered into forbearance and other agreements with varying terms and conditions that conditionally waive or defer payment defaults for loans with a total outstanding principal balance of approximately
$1.1 billion
out of approximately
$4.1 billion
in property level debt outstanding as of June 30, 2020. Additionally, certain of the Company's hotel properties are subject to ground leases rather than a fee simple interest, with respect to all or a portion of the real property at those hotels. It is possible the Company will default on some or all of the ground leases within the next twelve months.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of
$165.5 million
and restricted cash of
$95.3 million
. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we utilized cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of
$106.2 million
. We are currently experiencing significant variability in the operating cash flows of our hotel properties, and we continue to negotiate
39
Table of Contents
forbearance agreements with our lenders. Additionally as discussed above we have received various acceleration notices and UCC sale notices from our lenders. We are also taking several steps to reduce our cash utilization and potentially raise additional capital. All of these items create uncertainty surrounding future cash flows. As a result of these uncertainties, management cannot reasonably estimate how long the Company's current cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash will last, but if our cash utilization going forward is consistent with the second quarter of 2020 and we do not raise additional capital, it is possible that the Company may utilize all of its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash within the next twelve months.
Based on these factors, the Company has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that in making this determination, the Company cannot consider any remedies that are outside of the Company’s control and have not been fully implemented. As a result, the Company could not consider future potential fundraising activities, whether through equity or debt offerings, dispositions of hotel properties or the likelihood of obtaining forbearance agreements as we could not conclude they were probable of being effectively implemented. Any forbearance agreements will most likely lead to increased costs, increased interest rates, additional restrictive covenants and other possible lender protections. In addition to or in lieu of obtaining forbearance agreements as described above, the Company could transfer the hotels securing the mortgage loans to the respective lenders.
The spread of COVID-19 and the recent developments surrounding the global pandemic are having significant negative impacts on our business. In response to the impact of COVID-19 on the hospitality industry, the Company is deploying numerous strategies and protocols to provide financial flexibility going forward to navigate this crisis, including:
•
as of July 31, 2020, the Company has temporarily suspended operations at four hotel properties. The Company’s remaining 112 hotel properties are open and operating;
•
the Company has significantly reduced its planned spending for capital expenditures for the fiscal year to a range of $30-$50 million;
•
the Company has suspended its common dividend conserving approximately $7 million per quarter;
•
the Company has suspended its preferred stock dividends conserving approximately $10.6 million per quarter;
•
the Company has taken proactive and aggressive actions to protect liquidity and reduce corporate expenses through the curtailment of all non-essential expenses resulting in an approximate 25% reduction in corporate, general and administrative and reimbursable expenses and will continue to take all necessary additional actions to preserve capital and liquidity;
•
the Company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $165.5 million and restricted cash of $95.3 million. The vast majority of the restricted cash is comprised of lender and manager held reserves. The Company is currently working with its property managers and lenders in order to utilize lender and manager held reserves to fund operating shortfalls. At the end of the quarter, there was also $12.9 million due to the Company from third-party hotel managers, which is the Company’s cash held by one of its property managers which is also available to fund hotel operating costs; and
•
t
he Company has partnered with local government agencies, medical staffing organizations, and hotel brands to support COVID-19 response efforts. To date, through various initiatives, 86 Ashford Trust hotels have provided temporary lodging for first responders, health care professionals, and other community residents impacted by the pandemic.
Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement dated March 13, 2020 (the “Hotel Management Letter Agreement”), in order to allow Remington Hotels to better manage its corporate working capital and to ensure the continued efficient operation of our hotels, we agreed to pay the base fee and to reimburse all expenses on a weekly basis for the preceding week, rather than on a monthly basis. The Hotel Management Letter Agreement went into effect on March 13, 2020 and will continue until terminated by us.
In April 2020, certain subsidiaries of the Company applied for and received loans from Key Bank, N.A. under the PPP, which was established under the CARES Act. All funds borrowed under the PPP were returned on or before May 7, 2020.

On
March 9, 2020
, the Company sold the Crowne Plaza in Annapolis, Maryland for approximately
$5.1 million
. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately
$3.6 million
for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2020
, which was included in “gain (loss) on sale of assets and hotel properties” in the consolidated statements of operations.
On March 20, 2020, Lismore Capital LLC (“Lismore”), a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., entered into an agreement with the Company to seek modifications, forbearances or refinancings of the Company’s loans (the “Ashford Trust Agreement”). Pursuant to the Ashford Trust Agreement, Lismore shall, during the agreement term (which commenced on March 20, 2020 and shall end on the date that is twelve months following the commencement date, or upon it being terminated by Ashford Trust on not less than thirty days written notice) negotiate the refinancing, modification or forbearance of the existing mortgage debt on Ashford Trust’s hotels. For the purposes of the Ashford Trust Agreement, financing shall include, without limitation, senior or subordinate loan financing, provided in any single transaction or a combination of transactions, including, mortgage loan financing, mezzanine loan financing, or subordinate loan financing encumbering the applicable hotel or unsecured loan financing.
On April 17, 2020, the Company was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the average closing price of the Company’s common stock over the prior 30 consecutive trading-day period was below $1.00 per share, which is the minimum average closing price per share required to maintain listing on the NYSE under Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.
In June 2020, our board of directors approved a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of 1-for-10. This reverse stock split converted every ten issued and outstanding shares of common stock into one share of common stock. The reverse share split was effective as of the close of business on July 15, 2020. As a result of the reverse stock split, the number of shares of common stock outstanding was reduced from approximately
104.8 million
shares to approximately
10.5 million
shares. Additionally, the number of outstanding common units, Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) units and Performance LTIP units was reduced from approximately
20.5 million
units to approximately
2.1 million
units. All common stock, common units, LTIP units, Performance LTIP units, PSUs and RSUs as well as per share data related to these classes of equity have been updated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to reflect this reverse stock split for all periods presented. On August 3, 2020, the NYSE notified the Company that it had cured its non-compliance with the NYSE’s minimum average closing price per share standard because the average closing price of our common stock was above $1.00 per share on July 31, 2020 and for the 30 consecutive trading-day period ending July 31, 2020.
Effective May 13, 2020, Douglas A. Kessler voluntarily resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer to pursue other professional opportunities. On May 14, 2020, the board of directors appointed J. Robison Hays, III as the Company’s new President and Chief Executive Officer.
On July 1, 2020, the Company amended and restated the agreement with Lismore with an effective date of April 6, 2020. Pursuant to the amended and restated agreement, the term of the agreement was extended to
24 months
following the commencement date. In connection with the services provided by Lismore under the amended and restated agreement, Lismore is entitled to receive a fee of approximately
$2.6 million
in
three
equal installments of approximately
$857,000
per month beginning July 20, 2020, and ending on September 20, 2020. Lismore is also entitled to receive a fee that is calculated and payable as follows: (i) a fee equal to 25 basis points (
0.25%
) of the amount of a loan, payable upon the acceptance by the applicable lender of any forbearance or extension of such loan, or in the case where a third-party agent or contractor engaged by the Company has secured an extension of the maturity date equal to or greater than
12 months
of any such loan, then the amount payable to Lismore shall be reduced to 10 basis points (
0.10%
); (ii) a fee equal to 75 basis points (
0.75%
) of the amount of any principal reduction of a loan upon the acceptance by any lender of any principal reduction of such loan; and (iii) a fee equal to 150 basis points (
1.50%
) of the implied conversion value (but in any case, no less than
50%
percent of the face value of such loan or loans) of a loan upon the acceptance by any lender of any debt to equity conversion of such loan.
At the time of amendment, the Company had paid Lismore approximately
$8.3 million
, in the aggregate, pursuant to the original agreement. Under the amended and restated agreement, the Company is still entitled, in the event that the Company does not complete, for any reason, extensions or forbearances during the term of the agreement equal to or greater than approximately
$4.1 billion
, to offset, against any fees the Company or its affiliates owe pursuant to the advisory agreement, a portion of the fee previously paid by the Company to Lismore equal to the product of (x) approximately
$4.1 billion
minus the amount of extensions or forbearances completed during the term of the agreement multiplied by (y)
0.125%
. Upon entering into the agreement with Lismore, the Company made a payment of
$5.1 million
. No amounts under this payment can be clawed back. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has also paid
$2.6 million
related to periodic installments of which
$303,000
has been expensed in accordance with the agreement and
$2.2 million
may be offset against future fees under the agreement that are eligible for claw back under the agreement. Further, the Company has paid
$606,000
in success fees under the agreement in connection with each signed forbearance or other agreement, of which no amounts are available for claw back. As of
June 30, 2020
, the Company has recognized expense of
$1.6 million
, which is included in “write-off of premiums, loan costs and exit fees,” and approximately
$6.7 million
is included in “other assets.”

On July 20, 2020, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Form S-4). The Company is offering to exchange any and all of the outstanding shares of the following series of its preferred stock (8.45% Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock, 7.375% Series F Cumulative Preferred Stock, 7.375% Series G Cumulative Preferred Stock, 7.50% Series H Cumulative Preferred Stock and 7.50% Series I Cumulative Preferred Stock) for, at the election of each holder, consideration in the form of cash or shares of Company common stock.
On March 16, 2020, the Company announced that in light of the uncertainty created by the effects of COVID-19, the annual cash retainer for each independent director serving on the Company’s board of directors would be temporarily reduced by 25% and would continue in effect until the board of directors determined in its discretion that the effects of COVID-19 had subsided. The Company also disclosed at that time that any amounts relinquished pursuant to the reduction in fees may be paid in the future, as determined by the board of directors in its discretion. On August 3, 2020, the Company announced that for fiscal year 2020, the independent directors will receive the full value of their annual cash retainer (without reduction). However, all remaining quarterly installments of the annual cash retainer (and any additional cash retainers for committee service or service as lead director), will instead be paid in either fully vested shares of common stock or LTIP units (at each director’s election). The board of directors currently intends to continue paying the value of all cash retainers to independent directors in the form of equity through the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, at which time the board of directors currently intends to re-examine the program.
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 expense. 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.”

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue per available room, or RevPAR, is a commonly used measure within the hotel industry to evaluate hotel operations. RevPAR is defined as the product of the ADR charged and the average daily occupancy achieved. RevPAR does not include revenues from food and beverage or parking, telephone, or other guest services 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 periods under comparison). 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.

creased
$290.8 million
, or
88.6%
, to
$37.4 million
in the

crease is attributable to lower rooms revenue of $7.6 million from our Hotel Dispositions and $283.2 million at our comparable hotel properties and WorldQuest as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our comparable hotel properties experienced a decrease of
36.3%
in room rates and a decrease of
6,604
basis points in occupancy.
Food and beverage revenue
de
creased
$66.1 million
, or
98.2%
, to
$1.2 million
. This
de
crease is attributable to lower food and beverage revenue of $1.1 million from our Hotel Dispositions and $65.0 million at our comparable hotel properties and WorldQuest as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Other hotel revenue, which consists mainly of Internet access, parking, spa and business interruption revenue,
de
creased
$14.3 million
, or
77.5%
, to
$4.2 million
. This
de
crease is primarily attributable to a
de
crease of $319,000 from our Hotel Dispositions, $13.9 million at our comparable hotel properties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and lower business interruption revenue
44
Table of Contents
of $91,000. In the

de
creased
$185.1 million
, or
73.6%

of total hotel revenue for the
2020
quarter and
28.3%
for the
2019
quarter. Indirect expenses and management fees
de
creased
$84.9 million
in the
2020
quarter as compared to the
2019
quarter, which was comprised of a

de
creased
$1.1 million
, or
4.9%
, to
$20.7 million
during the
2020
quarter compared to the
2019
quarter, which was primarily due to decrease of $659,000 from our Hotel Dispositions and $403,000 at our comparable hotel properties and WorldQuest.
Depreciation and Amortization.
Depreciation and amortization
de
creased
$2.5 million
, or
3.7%
, to
$65.0 million
during the
2020
quarter compared to the
2019
quarter, which was primarily due to a
de
crease of $1.5 million from our Hotel Dispositions and $986,000 from our comparable hotel properties and WorldQuest.
Impairment Charges.

, or
61.4%
, to
$4.7 million
during the
2020

, or
29.6%
, to
$88.1 million
during the

quarter compared to the
2019
quarter. The
in
crease is due to accruals for additional default interest and late payment charges totaling $43.6 million. These increases were partially offset by lower interest expense and amortization of loan costs of $22.6 million at our comparable hotel properties primarily due to lower LIBOR rates and $926,000 from our Hotel Dispositions.

quarter, we recognized unrealized gains of $3.4 million on interest rate floors of which $3.0 million is associated with the recognition of realized losses from the expiration of interest rate floors, partially offset by an unrealized loss of $3.2 million from CMBX tranches and $19,000 associated with interest rate caps. In the
2019
quarter, we recognized unrealized gains of $2.1 million from interest rate floors and $225,000 associated with the recognition of realized losses from the expiration of interest rate floors, partially offset by an unrealized loss of $393,000 from CMBX tranches and $472,000 associated with interest rate caps. The fair value of interest rate floors and interest rate caps are primarily based on movements in the LIBOR forward curve and the passage of time. The fair value of credit default swaps is based on the change in value of CMBX indices.

Income tax (expense) benefit changed
$5.9 million
, from income tax expense of
$3.7 million
in the 2019 quarter to an income tax benefit of
$2.2 million
in the 2020 quarter. This change was primarily due to a decrease in the profitability of our TRS entities in the 2020 quarter compared to the 2019 quarter.
(Income) Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Entities.
Our noncontrolling interest partner in consolidated entities were allocated a loss of
$120,000

$355.4 million
, or
58.4%
, to
$253.2 million
in the
2020
period compared to the
2019
period. This
de
crease is attributable to lower rooms revenue of $334.3 million at our comparable hotel properties and WorldQuest as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, $13.4 million from our Hotel Dispositions and $7.8 million from our Hotel Acquisitions. Our comparable hotel properties experienced an decrease of
11.0%

, or
61.7%
, to
$49.1 million
in the

, or
38.0%
, to
$21.5 million
in the

crease is attributable to lower other revenue of $12.8 million from our comparable hotel properties and WorldQuest as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, $595,000 from our Hotel Dispositions and lower business interruption revenue of $91,000, partially offset by higher other revenue of $326,000 from our Hotel Acquisitions. In the
2019
period, we received $91,000 of business interruption income related to SpringHill Suites

$987,000
or
2.3%
, to
$41.2 million
in the
2020
period compared to the

In the second quarter we recorded an impairment charge of
$27.6 million
. On July 9, 2020, the non-recourse mortgage loan secured by eight hotel properties matured. The lender has provided notice of UCC sale, which provides that the respective lender will sell the subsidiaries of the Company that own the respective hotels in a public auction. As a result, as of June 30, 2020, the estimated fair value of each hotel property was compared to its carrying value. The impairment charge was comprised of
$1.7 million

$2.7 million
, or
48.6%
, to
$8.2 million
in the
2020
period compared to the
2019
period. The
in
crease was primarily attributable to higher legal and professional fees of $2.0 million and $1.0 of reimbursed operating expenses of Ashford Securities paid by Ashford Trust, partially offset by lower public company costs of $174,000 and $172,000 of other miscellaneous expenses.
Gain (Loss) on Sale of Assets and Hotel Properties.

, or
148.8%
, to
$1.6 million
in the

, or
8.2%
, to
$145.2 million
in the
2020
period compared to the
2019
period. The
in
crease is primarily due to $2.5 million from our Hotel Acquisitions and accruals for additional default interest and late payment charges totaling $43.6 million. These
in
creases were partially offset by decreases of $33.3 million at our comparable hotel properties due to lower LIBOR rates and lower interest expense and amortization of loan costs of $1.8 million from our Hotel Dispositions. The average LIBOR rates in the
2020
period and the
2019
period were 0.89% and 2.47%, respectively.
Write-off of Premiums, Loan Costs and Exit Fees.
Write-off of premiums, loan costs and exit fees
de
creased
$122,000
to
$2.0 million
in the
2020
period compared to the
2019
period. In the
2020
period, we executed several amendments with various lenders, which included deferral of debt service payments and allowed the use of reserves for property-level operating shortfalls and/or to cover debt service payments. Third-party fees incurred in conjunction with these amendments were $336,000 and fees paid to Lismore were $1.6 million, totaling $1.9 million. We also wrote-off unamortized loan costs of $47,000 and incurred other costs of $48,000 as a result of a loan refinance. In the
2019
period, we wrote off $2.1 million of loan costs related to a refinanced mortgage loan and incurred other costs of $90,000.
Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Marketable Securities.
We recorded a
$998,000
unrealized loss on marketable securities in the
2020
period and a
$1.4 million
unrealized gain on marketable securities in the
2019
period, which are based on changes in closing market prices during the period.

$6.1 million
from an unrealized loss of
$1.5 million
in the
2019
period to an unrealized gain of
$4.6 million
in the
2020
period. In the
2020
period, we recognized unrealized gains of $696,000 related to CMBX tranches, $4.0 million from interest rate floors of which $3.2 million is associated with the recognition of realized losses from the expiration of interest rate floors, partially offset by an unrealized loss of $70,000 associated with interest rate caps. In the
2019
period, we recognized an unrealized loss of $2.7 million from CMBX tranches and $1.1 million associated with interest rate caps, partially offset by unrealized gains of $1.9 million from interest rate floors and $388,000 associated with the recognition of realized losses from the expiration of interest rate floors. The fair value of interest rate floors and interest rate caps are primarily based on movements in the LIBOR forward curve and the passage of time. The fair value of credit default swaps is based on the change in value of CMBX indices.

$5.2 million
, from income tax expense of
$3.3 million
in the 2019 period to an income tax benefit of

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
COVID-19, Management’s Plans and Liquidity
In December 2019, COVID-19 was identified in Wuhan, China, which subsequently spread to other regions of the world, and has resulted in significant travel restrictions and extended shutdown of numerous businesses in every state in the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic. Since late February 2020, we have experienced a significant decline in occupancy and RevPAR and we expect the significant occupancy and RevPAR declines associated with COVID-19 to continue as we are experiencing significant reservation cancellations as well as a significant reduction in new reservations. The prolonged presence of the virus has resulted in health and other government authorities imposing widespread restrictions on travel and other businesses. The hotel industry and our portfolio have experienced the postponement or cancellation of a significant number of business conferences and similar events. Following the government mandates and health
48
Table of Contents
official orders, in March 2020, the Company temporarily suspended operations at
23
of its
116
hotels and dramatically reduced staffing and expenses at its hotels that remain operational. As of June 30, 2020 operations at five of the Company’s hotels remain temporarily suspended. COVID-19 has had a significant negative impact on the Company’s operations and financial results to date. The full financial impact of the reduction in hotel demand caused by the pandemic and suspension of operations at the Company’s hotels cannot be reasonably estimated at this time due to uncertainty as to its severity and duration. The Company expects that the COVID-19 pandemic will have a significant negative impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flow for at least the remainder of 2020 and into 2021. As a result, the Company suspended the quarterly cash dividend on its common shares for the first and second quarters of 2020 and likely for all of 2020, suspended quarterly cash dividend on its preferred stock for the second quarter, reduced planned capital expenditures, and working closely with its hotel managers, significantly reduced its hotels’ operating expenses. The Company’s advisor adopted a remote-work policy at its corporate office in an effort to protect the health and safety of its employees and does not anticipate these policies to have any adverse impact on its ability to continue to operate its business.
Beginning on April 1, 2020, we did not make principal or interest payments under nearly all of our loans, which constituted an “Event of Default” as such term is defined under the applicable loan documents. Pursuant to the terms of the applicable loan documents, such an Event of Default caused an automatic increase in the interest rate on our outstanding loan balance for the period such Event of Default remains outstanding. Following an Event of Default, our lenders can generally elect to accelerate all principal and accrued interest payments that remain outstanding under the applicable loan agreement and foreclose on the applicable hotel properties that are security for such loans. The lenders who hold the mortgage note secured by the Embassy Suites New York Manhattan Times Square (
$145.0 million
mortgage loan) and the mortgage note secured by the Hilton Scotts Valley hotel in Santa Cruz, California (
$24.8 million
mortgage loan) have each sent us an acceleration notice which accelerated all payments due under the applicable loan documents. In addition, the lender for the W Hotel in Minneapolis, Minnesota (
$51.6 million
mortgage loan), the lender for our Rockbridge Portfolio (
$144.2 million
mortgage loan), which is an eight hotel portfolio, and the lender for the portfolio consisting of the Courtyard by Marriott in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Courtyard by Marriott in Louisville, Kentucky and Marriott Residence Inn in Lake Buena Vista, Florida (
$64.0 million
mortgage loan), have each sent to us a notice of UCC sale, which provides that the respective lender will sell the subsidiaries of the Company that own the respective hotels in a public auction. The Company is in the process of negotiating forbearance agreements with its lenders. At this time, forbearance agreements have been executed on some, but not all of our loans. On July 16, 2020, we reached a forbearance agreement with our lenders for the Highland Pool loan, which is a
$907.0 million
loan secured by nineteen of our hotels. The forbearance agreement allows the Company to defer interest payments for six months in exchange for the Company’s agreement to a repayment schedule of the deferred interest payments. In the aggregate, including the Highland Pool loan, we have entered into forbearance and other agreements with varying terms and conditions that conditionally waive or defer payment defaults for loans with a total outstanding principal balance of approximately
$1.1 billion
out of approximately
$4.1 billion
in property level debt outstanding as of June 30, 2020. Additionally, certain of the Company's hotel properties are subject to ground leases rather than a fee simple interest, with respect to all or a portion of the real property at those hotels. It is possible the Company will default on some or all of the ground leases within the next twelve months.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of
$165.5 million
and restricted cash of
$95.3 million
. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we utilized cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of
$106.2 million
. We are currently experiencing significant variability in the operating cash flows of our hotel properties, and we continue to negotiate forbearance agreements with our lenders. Additionally as discussed above we have received various acceleration notices and UCC sale notices from our lenders. We are also taking several steps to reduce our cash utilization and potentially raise additional capital. All of these items create uncertainty surrounding future cash flows. As a result of these uncertainties, management cannot reasonably estimate how long the Company's current cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash will last, but if our cash utilization going forward is consistent with the second quarter of 2020 and we do not raise additional capital, it is possible that the Company may utilize all of its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash within the next twelve months.
Based on these factors, the Company has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that in making this determination, the Company cannot consider any remedies that are outside of the Company’s control and have not been fully implemented. As a result, the Company could not consider future potential fundraising activities, whether through equity or debt offerings, dispositions of hotel properties or the likelihood of obtaining forbearance agreements as we could not conclude they were probable of being effectively implemented. Any forbearance agreements will most likely lead to increased costs, increased interest rates, additional restrictive covenants and other possible lender protections. In addition to or in lieu of obtaining forbearance agreements as described above, the Company could transfer the hotels securing the mortgage loans to the respective lenders.

The spread of COVID-19 and the recent developments surrounding the global pandemic are having significant negative impacts on our business. In response to the impact of COVID-19 on the hospitality industry, the Company is deploying numerous strategies and protocols to provide financial flexibility going forward to navigate this crisis, including:
•
as of July 31, 2020, the Company has temporarily suspended operations at four hotel properties. The Company’s remaining 112 hotel properties are open and operating;
•
the Company has significantly reduced its planned spending for capital expenditures for the fiscal year to a range of $30-$50 million;
•
the Company has suspended its common dividend conserving approximately $7 million per quarter;
•
the Company has suspended its preferred stock dividends conserving approximately $10.6 million per quarter;
•
the Company has taken proactive and aggressive actions to protect liquidity and reduce corporate expenses through the curtailment of all non-essential expenses resulting in an approximate 25% reduction in corporate, general and administrative and reimbursable expenses and will continue to take all necessary additional actions to preserve capital and liquidity;
•
the Company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $165.5 million and restricted cash of $95.3 million. The vast majority of the restricted cash is comprised of lender and manager held reserves. The Company is currently working with its property managers and lenders in order to utilize lender and manager held reserves to fund operating shortfalls. At the end of the quarter, there was also $12.9 million due to the Company from third-party hotel managers, which is the Company’s cash held by one of its property managers which is also available to fund hotel operating costs; and
•
t
he Company has partnered with local government agencies, medical staffing organizations, and hotel brands to support COVID-19 response efforts. To date, through various initiatives, 86 Ashford Trust hotels have provided temporary lodging for first responders, health care professionals, and other community residents impacted by the pandemic.
Our cash position from operations is affected primarily by macro industry movements in occupancy and rate as well as our ability to control costs. Further, interest rates can greatly affect the cost of our debt service as well as the value of any financial hedges we may put in place. We monitor industry fundamentals and interest rates very closely. Capital expenditures above our reserves will affect cash flow as well.
Certain of our loan agreements contain cash trap provisions that may get triggered if the performance of our hotels decline. When these provisions are triggered, substantially all of the profit generated by our hotels is deposited directly into lockbox accounts and then swept into cash management accounts for the benefit of our various lenders. These cash trap provisions have been triggered on nearly all of our mortgage loans containing cash trap provisions.
We have entered into certain customary guaranty agreements pursuant to which we guaranty payment of any recourse liabilities of our subsidiaries or joint ventures that may result from non-recourse carve-outs, which include, but are not limited to fraud, misrepresentation, willful misconduct resulting in waste, misappropriations of rents following an event of default, voluntary bankruptcy filings, unpermitted transfers of collateral, delinquency of trade payables and certain environmental liabilities. Certain of these guarantees represent a guaranty of material amounts, and if we are required to make payments under those guarantees, our liquidity could be adversely affected.
Pursuant to the advisory agreement between us and our advisor, we must pay our advisor on a monthly basis a base management fee, subject to a minimum base management fee. The minimum base management 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 management fee, which could adversely impact our liquidity and financial condition.
On December 5, 2017, the board of directors reapproved a stock repurchase program (the “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 $200 million. The board of directors’ authorization replaced any previous repurchase authorizations. No shares were repurchased during the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2020
pursuant to the Repurchase Program.
On December 11, 2017, we entered into equity distribution agreements with certain sales agents to sell from time to time shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million. Sales of shares of our common stock, if any, may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act, including sales made directly on the NYSE, the existing trading market for our common stock, or sales

made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange or through an electronic communications network. We will pay each of the sales agents a commission, which in each case shall not be more than 2.0% of the gross sales price of the shares of our common stock sold through such sales agent. No shares were issued during the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2020
. As of
June 30, 2020
, we have issued approximately
2.4 million
shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of approximately

leaving approximately
$84.5 million
available under the program.
On
January 9, 2020
, we refinanced our
$43.8 million
mortgage loan, secured by the Le Pavillon in New Orleans, Louisiana. In connection with the refinance we reduced the loan amount by
$6.8 million
. The new mortgage loan totals
$37.0 million
. The new mortgage loan is interest only and provides for an interest rate of LIBOR +
3.40%
. The stated maturity is
January 2023
with
two
one-year extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The mortgage loan is secured by the Le Pavillon.
On July 20, 2020, the Company filed the Form S-4. The Company is offering to exchange any and all of the outstanding shares of the following series of its preferred stock (8.45% Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock, 7.375% Series F Cumulative Preferred Stock, 7.375% Series G Cumulative Preferred Stock, 7.50% Series H Cumulative Preferred Stock and 7.50% Series I Cumulative Preferred Stock) for, at the election of each holder, consideration in the form of cash or shares of Company common stock.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Our principal sources of funds to meet our cash requirements include: cash on hand, cash flow from operations, capital market activities, property refinancing proceeds and asset sales. Additionally, our principal uses of funds are expected to include possible operating shortfalls, owner-funded capital expenditures, dividends, new investments, and debt interest and principal payments. Items that impacted our cash flow and liquidity during the periods indicated are summarized as follows:
Net Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities.
Net cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, pursuant to our consolidated statements of cash flows, which includes changes in balance sheet items, were
$(64.8) million
and
$92.3 million
for the

, respectively. Cash flows provided by/used in operations were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, changes in hotel operations, our hotel acquisitions in 2019, our hotel dispositions in 2019 and 2020 as well as the timing of collecting receivables from hotel guests, paying vendors, settling with derivative counterparties, 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, 2020
, net cash flows used in investing activities were
$25.0 million
. Cash outflows primarily consisted of
$29.8 million
for capital improvements made to various hotel properties, partially offset by cash inflows of
$4.7 million
from proceeds received from the sale of the Crowne Plaza Annapolis.
For the
six months ended
June 30, 2019
, net cash flows used in investing activities were
$277.8 million
. Cash outflows primarily consisted of
$81.5 million
for capital improvements made to various hotel properties and
$213.1 million
primarily for the acquisitions of the Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley and Embassy Suites New York Manhattan Times Square. Cash outflows were partially offset by
$13.1 million
from proceeds received from the sale of FF&E for ERFP and
$4.0 million
of proceeds from a franchise agreement extension.
Net Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities.
For the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
, net cash flows used in financing activities were
$47.7 million
. Cash outflows were
$96.3 million
for repayments of indebtedness,
$28.6 million
for dividend payments to common and preferred stockholders and unitholders and
$10.3 million
for payments of loan costs and exit fees, partially offset by cash inflows of
$88.0 million
from borrowings on indebtedness.
For the
six months ended
June 30, 2019
, net cash flows provided by financing activities were
$146.2 million
. Cash inflows primarily consisted of
$388.7 million
of borrowings on indebtedness. Cash inflows were partially offset by cash outflows of
$181.2 million
for repayments of indebtedness,
$50.3 million
for dividend payments to common and preferred stockholders and unitholders,
$9.1 million
for payments of loan costs and exit fees,
$906,000
for the repurchase of common stock and
$1.0 million
of payments for derivatives.
We are required to maintain certain financial ratios under various debt and derivative agreements. If we violate covenants in any debt or derivative agreement, we could be required to repay all or a portion of our indebtedness before maturity at a time when we might be unable to arrange financing for such repayment on attractive terms, if at all. Beginning on April 1, 2020, we did not make principal or interest payments under nearly all of our loans, which constituted an “Event of Default” as such term is defined under the applicable loan documents. Pursuant to the terms of the applicable loan documents, such an Event of Default caused an automatic increase in the interest rate on our outstanding loan balance for the period such Event of Default remains outstanding. Following an Event of Default, our lenders can generally elect to accelerate all principal and accrued interest payments that remain outstanding under the applicable loan agreement and foreclose on the applicable hotel properties that are security for such loans. The lenders who hold the mortgage note secured by the Embassy Suites New York Manhattan Times Square (
$145.0 million
51
Table of Contents
mortgage loan) and the mortgage note secured by the Hilton Scotts Valley hotel in Santa Cruz, California (
$24.8 million
mortgage loan) have each sent us an acceleration notice which accelerated all payments due under the applicable loan documents. In addition, the lender for the W Hotel in Minneapolis, Minnesota (
$51.6 million
mortgage loan), the lender for our Rockbridge Portfolio (
$144.2 million
mortgage loan), which is an eight hotel portfolio, and the lender for the portfolio consisting of the Courtyard by Marriott in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Courtyard by Marriott in Louisville, Kentucky and Marriott Residence Inn in Lake Buena Vista, Florida (
$64.0 million
mortgage loan), have each sent to us a notice of UCC sale, which provides that the respective lender will sell the subsidiaries of the Company that own the respective hotels in a public auction. The Company is in the process of negotiating forbearance agreements with its lenders. At this time, forbearance agreements have been executed on some, but not all of our loans. On July 16, 2020, we reached a forbearance agreement with our lenders for the Highland Pool loan, which is a
$907.0 million
loan secured by nineteen of our hotels. The forbearance agreement allows the Company to defer interest payments for six months in exchange for the Company’s agreement to a repayment schedule of the deferred interest payments. In the aggregate, including the Highland Pool loan, we have entered into forbearance and other agreements with varying terms and conditions that conditionally waive or defer payment defaults for loans with a total outstanding principal balance of
$1.1 billion
out of
$4.1 billion
in property level debt outstanding as of June 30, 2020.
In addition, the senior lenders and mezzanine lenders who hold notes secured by the Embassy Suites New York Manhattan Times Square are parties to a guaranty with a third party, which guaranty the mezzanine lenders can call upon to make payment of up to $20 million now that the mezzanine loans have been accelerated. As of June 30, 2020, the principal and accrued interest amount of the notes currently held by the senior lenders, senior mezzanine lenders and junior mezzanine lenders is approximately $111.7 million, $27.4 million and $10.5 million, respectively. If the lenders call upon the guaranty, and the third party guarantor makes payments under the guaranty, the guarantor has the right to require us to reimburse them for the amount paid under the guaranty. If we do not reimburse the guarantor, the guarantor will have the option to purchase the equity in the entity which owns the Embassy Suites New York Manhattan Times Square hotel for $1.
Mortgage and mezzanine loans are nonrecourse to the borrowers, except for customary exceptions or carve-outs that trigger recourse liability to the borrowers in certain limited instances. Recourse obligations typically include only the payment of costs and liabilities suffered by lenders as a result of the occurrence of certain bad acts on the part of the borrower. However, in certain cases, carve-outs could trigger recourse obligations on the part of the borrower with respect to repayment of all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the loans. We have entered into customary guaranty agreements pursuant to which we guaranty payment of any recourse liabilities of the borrowers that result from non-recourse carve-outs (which include, but are not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, willful conduct resulting in waste, misappropriations of rents following an event of default, voluntary bankruptcy filings, unpermitted transfers of collateral, and certain environmental liabilities). In the opinion of management, none of these guaranty agreements, either individually or in the aggregate, are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.
Based on our current level of operations, we do not expect that our cash flow from operations and our existing cash balances will be adequate to meet upcoming anticipated requirements for interest and principal payments on debt (excluding any potential final maturity payments), 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. With respect to upcoming maturities, no assurances can be given that we will be able to refinance our 2020 final debt maturities. Additionally, no assurances can be given that we will obtain additional financings or, if we do, what the amount and terms will be. Our failure to obtain future financing under favorable terms could adversely impact our ability to execute our business strategy or may result in lender foreclosure.
We are committed to an investment strategy where we will pursue hotel-related investments as suitable situations arise. Funds for future hotel-related investments are expected to be derived, in whole or in part, from cash on hand, future borrowings under a credit facility or other loans, or proceeds from additional issuances of common stock, preferred stock, or other securities, asset sales, and joint ventures. However, we have no formal commitment or understanding to invest in additional assets, and there can be no assurance that we will successfully make additional investments. We may, when conditions are suitable, consider additional capital raising opportunities.
Our existing hotel properties are mostly located in developed areas with competing hotel properties. Future occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR of any individual hotel could be materially and adversely affected by an increase in the number or quality of competitive hotel properties, home sharing companies or apartment operators offering short-term rentals in its market area. Competition could also affect the quality and quantity of future investment opportunities.
Dividend Policy
.
In December
2019
, the board of directors approved our
2020
dividend policy which stated our then-expectation to pay a quarterly dividend payment of $0.06 per share for
2020
. As previously disclosed, the approval of our dividend policy did not commit our board of directors to declare future dividends. On March 16, 2020, the Company and its board of directors announced a suspension of its previously disclosed 2020 common stock dividend policy. The Company did not pay a dividend on its common stock for the first and second quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 and does not currently expect to pay dividends
52
Table of Contents
on its common stock for the foreseeable future. The board of directors will continue to review our dividend policy and make future announcements with respect thereto. We may incur indebtedness to meet distribution requirements imposed on REITs under the Code to the extent that working capital and cash flow from our investments are insufficient to fund required distributions. Alternatively, we may elect to pay dividends on our common stock in cash or a combination of cash and shares of securities as permitted under U.S. federal income tax laws governing REIT distribution requirements. We may pay dividends in excess of our cash flow.
SEASONALITY
Our properties’ operations historically have been seasonal as certain properties maintain higher occupancy rates during the summer months, while certain other properties maintain higher occupancy rates 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 the COVID-19 pandemic and government-issued travel restrictions in response, 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 are insufficient during any quarter to enable us to make quarterly distributions to maintain our REIT status due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in lease revenue, we expect to utilize cash on hand, borrowings and common stock to fund required distributions. However, we cannot make any assurances that we will make distributions in the future.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
In the normal course of business, we form partnerships or joint ventures that operate certain hotels. We evaluate each partnership and joint venture to determine whether the entity is a VIE. If the entity is determined to be a VIE, we assess whether we are the primary beneficiary and need to consolidate the entity. For further discussion of the company’s VIEs, see note
2
to our consolidated financial statements.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
Beginning April 1, 2020 we did not make principal or interest payments under nearly all of our mortgage loans, which constituted an “Event of Default” as such term is defined under the applicable loan documents. The lenders who hold the mortgage note secured by the Embassy Suites New York Manhattan Times Square (
$145.0 million
mortgage loan) and the mortgage note secured by the Hilton Scotts Valley hotel in Santa Cruz, California (
$24.8 million
mortgage loan) have each sent us an acceleration notice which accelerated all payments due under the applicable loan documents. In addition, the lender for the W Hotel in Minneapolis, Minnesota (
$51.6 million
mortgage loan), the lender for our Rockbridge Portfolio (
$144.2 million
mortgage loan), which is an eight hotel portfolio, and the lender for the portfolio consisting of the Courtyard by Marriott in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Courtyard by Marriott in Louisville, Kentucky and Marriott Residence Inn in Lake Buena Vista, Florida (
$64.0 million
mortgage loan), have each sent to us a notice of UCC sale, which provides that the respective lender will sell the subsidiaries of the Company that own the respective hotels in a public auction. The Company is in the process of negotiating forbearance agreements with its lenders. At this time, forbearance agreements have been executed on some, but not all of our loans. As of July 31, 2020, we have entered into forbearance and other agreements with varying terms and conditions that conditionally waive or defer payment defaults for loans with a total outstanding principal balance of approximately
$1.1 billion
out of approximately
$4.1 billion
in property level debt outstanding as of June 30, 2020.
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 our
2019
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, Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted FFO are presented to help our investors evaluate our operating performance.
53
Table of Contents
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense and amortization of premiums and loan costs, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity in earnings/loss of unconsolidated entities and after the Company’s portion of EBITDA of unconsolidated entities. In addition, we exclude impairment charges on real estate, and gain/loss on sale of hotel properties of unconsolidated entities to calculate EBITDAre, as defined by NAREIT.
We then further adjust EBITDAre to exclude certain additional items such as gain/loss on insurance settlements, write-off of premiums, loan costs and exit fees, other income/expense, net, transaction and conversion costs, legal, advisory and settlement costs, dead deal costs, advisory services incentive fees and non-cash items such as amortization of unfavorable contract liabilities, non-cash stock/unit-based compensation, unrealized gains/losses on marketable securities and derivative instruments, as well as our portion of adjustments to EBITDAre of unconsolidated entities.
We present EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre because we believe they reflect more accurately the ongoing performance of our hotel assets and other investments and provide more useful information to investors as they are indicators of our ability to meet our future debt payment requirements, working capital requirements and they provide an overall evaluation of our financial condition. 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.

Table of Contents
We calculate FFO and Adjusted FFO in the following table. 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 sale of assets and hotel properties, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, impairment charges on real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities and noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership. Adjustments for unconsolidated entities are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. 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 write-off of premiums, loan costs and exit fees, gain/loss on insurance settlements, other income/expense, net transaction and conversion costs, legal, advisory, and settlement costs, dead deal costs, advisory service incentive fees and non-cash items such as non-cash stock/unit-based compensation, amortization of loan costs, unrealized gains/losses on marketable securities and derivative instruments, as well as our portion of adjustments to FFO related to unconsolidated entities. We exclude items from Adjusted FFO that are either non-cash or are not part of our core operations in order to provide a period-over-period comparison of our operating results. 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 a) GAAP net income or loss as an indication of our financial performance or b) GAAP cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it 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 the 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. The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market interest rates.
At
June 30, 2020
, our total indebtedness of
$4.1 billion
included
$3.8 billion
of variable-rate debt. The impact on our results of operations of a 25-basis point change in interest rate on the outstanding balance of variable-rate debt at
June 30, 2020
would be approximately
$9.4 million
annually. Interest rate changes have no impact on the remaining
$359.1 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. As the information presented above includes only those exposures that existed at
June 30, 2020
, 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.
We use credit default swaps, tied to the CMBX index, to hedge financial and capital market risk. We have entered into credit default swap transactions, excluding those that have terminated, for notional amounts totaling
$212.5 million
, to hedge financial and capital market risk. A credit default swap is a derivative contract that functions like an insurance policy against the credit risk of an entity or obligation. The seller of protection assumes the credit risk of the reference obligation from the buyer (us) of protection in exchange for annual premium payments. If a default or a loss, as defined in the credit default swap agreements, occurs on the underlying bonds, then the buyer of protection is protected against those losses. The only liability for us, the buyer, is the annual premium and any change in value of the underlying CMBX index (if the trade is terminated prior to maturity). For all CMBX trades completed to date, we were the buyer of protection. Credit default swaps are subject to master-netting settlement arrangements and credit support annexes. Assuming the underlying bonds pay off at par over their remaining average life, our total exposure for these trades was approximately
$3.4 million
at
June 30, 2020
.
We hold interest rate floors with notional amounts totaling
$5.0 billion
and strike rates ranging from
(0.25)%
to
1.25%
. Our total exposure is capped at our initial upfront costs totaling
$6.4 million
. These instruments have termination dates ranging from
July 2020
to
November 2021
.
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, 2020
(the “Evaluation Date”)). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective (i) to ensure that 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 Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms; and (ii) to ensure that 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
Litigation
—
Palm Beach Florida Hotel and Office Building Limited Partnership, et al. v. Nantucket Enterprises, Inc.
This litigation involves a landlord tenant dispute from 2008 in which the landlord, Palm Beach Florida Hotel and Office Building Limited Partnership, a subsidiary of the Company, claimed that the tenant had violated various lease provisions of the lease agreement and was therefore in default. The tenant counterclaimed and asserted multiple claims including that it had been wrongfully evicted. The litigation was instituted by the plaintiff in November 2008 in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, in and for Palm Beach County, Florida and proceeded to a jury trial on June 30, 2014. The jury entered its verdict awarding the tenant total claims of
$10.8 million
and ruling against the landlord on its claim of breach of contract. In 2016, the Court of Appeals reduced the original
$10.8 million
judgment to
$8.8 million
and added pre-judgment interest on the wrongful eviction judgment. The case was further appealed to the Florida Supreme Court. On May 23, 2017, the trial court issued an order compelling the company that issued the supersedeas bond, RLI Insurance Company (“RLI”), to pay approximately
$10.0 million
. On June 1, 2017, RLI paid Nantucket this amount and sought reimbursement from the Company, and on June 7, 2017, the Company paid
$2.5 million
of the judgment. On June 27, 2017, the Florida Supreme Court denied the Company’s petition for review. As a result, all of the appeals were exhausted and the judgment was final with the determination and reimbursement of attorney’s fees being the only remaining dispute. On June 29, 2017, the balance of the judgment of
$3.9 million
was paid to Nantucket by the Company. On July 26, 2018, we paid
$544,000
as part of a settlement on certain legal fees. The negotiations relating to the potential payment of the remaining attorney’s fees are still ongoing. As of
June 30, 2020
, we have accrued approximately
$504,000
in legal fees, which represents the Company’s estimate of the amount of potential remaining legal fees that could be owed.
On December 4, 2015, Pedro Membrives filed a class action lawsuit against
HHC TRS FP Portfolio LLC, Remington Lodging & Hospitality, LLC, Remington Holdings LLC, Mark A. Sharkey, Archie Bennett, Jr., Monty J. Bennett, Christopher Peckham, and any other related entities
in the Supreme Court of New York, Nassau County, Commercial Division. On August 30, 2016, the complaint was amended to add Michele Spero as a Plaintiff and Remington Long Island Employers, LLC as a defendant. The lawsuit is captioned
Pedro Membrives and Michele Spero, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated v.
HHC TRS FP Portfolio LLC, Remington Lodging & Hospitality, LLC, Remington Holdings LLC, Remington Long Island Employers, LLC, et al
., Index No. 607828/2015 (Sup. Ct. Nassau Cty.)
. The plaintiffs
allege that the owner and management company of the Hyatt Regency Long Island hotel violated New York law by improperly retaining service charges rather than distributing them to employees. In 2017, the class was certified.
On July 24, 2018, the trial court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment on liability. The defendants appealed the summary judgment to the New York State Appellate Division, Second Department (the “Second Department”), and the appeal is still pending. By Order dated May 7, 2020, the Second Department referred the matter for mandatory mediation. The parties participated in mediation on June 22, 2020, however, they were not able to arrive at mutually acceptable settlement terms. Notwithstanding the pending appeal on the summary judgment issue, the trial court continued the litigation with respect to the plaintiffs’ alleged damages. The plaintiffs filed an application for damages on August 28, 2019. The defendants filed their opposition to the plaintiffs’ application for damages on October 11, 2019. The plaintiffs filed their reply on October 25, 2019. The defendants intend to vigorously defend against the plaintiffs’ claims and the Company does not believe that an unfavorable outcome is probable. If, however, the plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment on liability is upheld and the Company is unsuccessful in any further appeals, the Company estimates that damages could range between approximately
$5.8 million
and
$11.9 million
plus attorneys’ fees. As of
June 30, 2020
,
no
amounts have been accrued.
In June 2020, each of the Ashford Companies received an administrative subpoena from the SEC. The administrative subpoena requests the production of documents and other information since January 1, 2018 relating to, among other things, (1) related party transactions among the Ashford Companies (including the agreement between the Company and Lismore pursuant to which the Company engaged Lismore to negotiate the refinancing, modification or forbearance of certain mortgage debt) or between any of the Ashford Companies and any officer, director or owner of the Ashford Companies or any entity controlled by any such person, and (2) the Company’s accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls related to such related party transactions. The Company is responding to the administrative subpoena.
We are engaged in other various legal proceedings which have arisen but have not been fully adjudicated. The likelihood of loss from these legal proceedings, based on definitions within contingency accounting literature, ranges from remote to reasonably possible and to probable. Based on estimates of the range of potential losses associated with these matters, management does 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 flows. However, the final results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and if we fail to prevail in one or more of these legal
60
matters, and the associated realized losses exceed our current estimates of the range of potential losses, our consolidated financial position or results of operations could be materially adversely affected in future periods.
ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
The discussion of our business and operations should be read together with the risk factors contained in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2019
, filed with the SEC, as supplemented by our Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 8, 2020, which describe various risks and uncertainties to which we are or may become subject. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies, or prospects in a material and adverse manner. The risk factors set forth below update, and should be read together with, the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019
, as supplemented by our Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 8, 2020.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has and will continue to significantly reduce our occupancy rates and RevPAR.
Our business has been and will continue to be materially adversely affected by the impact of, and the public concern about, a pandemic disease. In December 2019, COVID-19 was identified in Wuhan, China, which subsequently spread to other regions of the world, and has resulted in increased travel restrictions and extended shutdown of certain businesses, including in every state in the United States. Since late February 2020, we have experienced a significant decline in occupancy and RevPAR and we expect the significant occupancy and RevPAR reduction associated with COVID-19 to continue as we are recording significant reservation cancellations as well as a significant reduction in new reservations. The continued outbreak of the virus in the U.S. has and will continue to further reduce travel and demand at our hotels. The prolonged occurrence of the virus has resulted in health or other government authorities imposing widespread restrictions on travel or other market impacts. The hotel industry and our portfolio have and we expect will continue to experience the postponement or cancellation of a significant number of business conferences and similar events. At this time those restrictions are very fluid and evolving. We have been and will continue to be negatively impacted by those restrictions. Given that the type, degree and length of such restrictions are not known at this time, we cannot predict the overall impact of such restrictions on us or the overall economic environment. In addition, even after the restrictions are lifted, the propensity of people to travel and for businesses to hold conferences will likely remain below historical levels for an additional period of time that is difficult to predict. We may also face increased risk of litigation if we have guests or employees who become ill due to COVID-19.
As such, the impact these restrictions may have on our financial position, operating results and liquidity cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but the impact will likely be material. Additionally, the public perception of a risk of a pandemic or media coverage of these diseases, or public perception of health risks linked to perceived regional food and beverage safety has materially adversely affected us by reducing demand for our hotels. Currently, no vaccines have been developed, and there can be no assurance that an effective vaccine will be developed soon, or ever. These events have resulted in a sustained, significant drop in demand for our hotels and could have a material adverse effect on us.
We have defaulted on our property level secured debt and if we are unable to negotiate forbearance agreements, the lenders may foreclose on our hotels.
Nearly all of the Company’s properties are pledged as collateral for a variety of loans. On or about March 17, 2020, we sent notice to all of our lenders notifying such lenders that the spread of COVID-19 was having a significant negative impact on the travel and hospitality industry and that our hotels were experiencing a severe decrease in revenue, resulting in a negative impact on cash flow. While our loan agreements do not contain forbearance rights, we requested a modification to the terms of the loans. Specifically, we requested that for a period of time, shortfalls in debt service payments accrue without penalty and all extension options be deemed granted notwithstanding the existence of any debt service payment accruals. Beginning on April 1, 2020, we did not make principal or interest payments under nearly all of our loans, which constituted an “Event of Default” as such term is defined under the applicable loan documents. Pursuant to the terms of the applicable loan documents, such an Event of Default caused an automatic increase in the interest rate on our outstanding loan balance for the period such Event of Default remains outstanding. Following an Event of Default, our lenders can generally elect to accelerate all principal and accrued interest payments that remain outstanding under the applicable loan agreement and foreclose on the applicable hotel properties that are security for such loans. The lenders who hold the mortgage note secured by the Embassy Suites New York Manhattan Times Square (
$145.0 million
mortgage loan) and the mortgage note secured by the Hilton Scotts Valley hotel in Santa Cruz, California (
$24.8 million
mortgage loan) have each sent us an acceleration notice which accelerated all payments due under the applicable loan documents. In addition, the lender for the W Hotel in Minneapolis, Minnesota (
$51.6 million
mortgage loan), the lender for our Rockbridge Portfolio (
$144.2 million
mortgage loan), which is an eight hotel portfolio, and the lender for the portfolio consisting of the Courtyard
61
by Marriott in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Courtyard by Marriott in Louisville, Kentucky and Marriott Residence Inn in Lake Buena Vista, Florida (
$64.0 million
mortgage loan), have each sent to us a notice of UCC sale, which provides that the respective lender will sell the subsidiaries of the Company that own the respective hotels in a public auction. The Company is in the process of negotiating forbearance agreements with its lenders. At this time, forbearance agreements have been executed on some, but not all of our loans. On July 16, 2020, we reached a forbearance agreement with our lenders for the Highland Pool loan, which is a
$907.0 million
loan secured by nineteen of our hotels. The forbearance agreement allows the Company to defer interest payments for six months in exchange for the Company’s agreement to a repayment schedule. In the aggregate, including the Highland Pool loan, we have entered into forbearance and other agreements with varying terms and conditions that conditionally waive or defer payment defaults for loans with a total outstanding principal balance of approximately
$1.1 billion
out of approximately
$4.1 billion
in property level debt outstanding as of June 30, 2020. We cannot predict the likelihood that the remaining forbearance agreement discussions will be successful. If we are unsuccessful in negotiating these forbearance agreements, the lenders could potentially foreclose on our hotels. In addition, the senior lenders and mezzanine lenders who hold notes secured by the Embassy Suites New York Manhattan Times Square are parties to a guaranty with a third party, which guaranty the mezzanine lenders can call upon to make payment of up to $20 million now that the mezzanine loans have been accelerated. As of June 30, 2020, the principal and accrued interest amount of the notes currently held by the senior lenders, senior mezzanine lenders and junior mezzanine lenders is approximately $111.7 million, $27.4 million and $10.5 million, respectively. If the lenders call upon the guaranty, and the third party guarantor makes payments under the guaranty, the guarantor has the right to require us to reimburse them for the amount paid under the guaranty. If we do not reimburse the guarantor, the guarantor will have the option to purchase the equity in the entity which owns the Embassy Suites New York Manhattan Times Square hotel for $1. If the guarantor exercises this call option, we will no longer own the Embassy Suites New York Manhattan Times Square. A foreclosure or exercise of the call option may also result in reputational risks with lenders that could make it more difficult, or more costly, to obtain loans in the future.
Any such Event of Default, acceleration of payments, or foreclosure of our assets could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and ability to continue to operate or make distributions to our stockholders in the future. In addition, an Event of Default could trigger a termination fee under the advisory agreement with Ashford Inc. An Event of Default could significantly limit our financing alternatives, which could cause us to curtail our investment activities and/or dispose of assets. It is also possible that we could become involved in litigation related to matters concerning the defaulted loans, and such litigation could result in significant costs to us.
In addition to losing the applicable properties, a foreclosure may result in recognition of taxable income. Under the Code, a foreclosure of property securing non-recourse debt would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure even though we did not receive any cash proceeds. As a result, we may be required to identify and utilize other sources of cash for distributions to our stockholders.
As a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, our financial statements contain a statement regarding a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will continue to operate in the normal course of business. As a result of the factors described above under “The outbreak of COVID-19 has and will continue to significantly impact our occupancy rates and RevPAR,” our notes to our financial statements include a qualification as to a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months. As a result of the continued suspension of operations at some of our hotels and the severe decline in revenues resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning on April 1, 2020, we did not make principal or interest payments under nearly all of our loan agreements, which constituted an “Event of Default” as such term is defined under the applicable loan agreement. Additionally, the lenders who hold the mortgage note secured by the Embassy Suites New York Manhattan Times Square (
$145.0 million
mortgage loan) and the mortgage note secured by the Hilton Scotts Valley hotel in Santa Cruz, California (
$24.8 million
mortgage loan) have each sent us an acceleration notice which accelerated all payments due under the applicable loan documents. In addition, the lender for the W Hotel in Minneapolis, Minnesota (
$51.6 million
mortgage loan), the lender for our Rockbridge Portfolio (
$144.2 million
mortgage loan), which is an eight hotel portfolio, and the lender for the portfolio consisting of the Courtyard by Marriott in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Courtyard by Marriott in Louisville, Kentucky and Marriott Residence Inn in Lake Buena Vista, Florida (
$64.0 million
mortgage loan), have each sent to us a notice of UCC sale, which provides that the respective lender will sell the subsidiaries of the Company that own the respective hotels in a public auction. At this time, we are currently in the process of negotiating forbearance agreements with our lenders. Any forbearance agreement may lead to increased costs, increased interest rates,
62
additional restrictive covenants and other lender protections and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in modifying such terms. If we are unsuccessful in negotiating forbearance agreements with our lenders, this could lead to the potential acceleration of amounts due under our loan agreements, which would adversely affect our financial condition and liquidity. The foregoing raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern may negatively affect the price of our preferred or common stock and may make it challenging for us to issue additional debt on favorable terms to the extent necessary or desirable to increase our liquidity.
We are dependent on the services provided by our advisor, Ashford Inc., and there is a substantial doubt about our advisor’s ability to continue as a going concern.
We have no employees. Our appointed officers are provided by our advisor, and employees of our advisor perform various services pursuant to the advisory agreement that enable us to run our business, including acquisition, asset management, capital markets, accounting, tax, risk management, legal, redevelopment, and other corporate management services and functions. Our advisor has publicly disclosed that it had a negative $29.0 million working capital position as of March 31, 2020 and that, as a result of the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our advisor’s business and its financial condition, there is a substantial doubt about our advisor’s ability to continue as a going concern. If as a result of our advisor’s financial condition the level or quality of the services our advisor provides were materially to decline, it would impair our business and potentially lead to disputes with our advisor. If our advisor were to suffer certain insolvency events (including by declaring bankruptcy), we would be permitted to terminate our advisory agreement without payment of a termination fee to our advisor, but entering into an advisory arrangement with a replacement advisor would be highly disruptive to our operations and would likely have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate our business.
We do not have any employees, and rely on our hotel managers to employ the personnel required to operate the hotels we own. As a result, we have less ability in the COVID-19 environment to reduce staffing at our hotels than we would if we employed such personnel directly.
We do not have any employees. We contractually engage hotel managers, such as Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt and our affiliate, Remington Hotels, which is owned by Ashford Inc., to operate, and to employ the personnel required to operate, our hotels. The hotel manager is required under the applicable hotel management agreement to determine appropriate staffing levels; we are required to reimburse the applicable hotel manager for the cost of these employees. As a result, we are dependent and our hotel managers to make appropriate staffing decisions and to appropriately reduce staffing when market conditions are poor, and have less ability in the COVID-19 environment to reduce staffing at our hotels than we would if we employed such personnel directly. As a result, our hotels may be staffed at a level higher than we would choose if we employed the personnel required to operate the hotels. In addition, we may be less likely to take aggressive actions (such as delaying payments owed to our hotel managers) in order to influence the staffing decisions made by Remington Hotels, which is our affiliate.
We did not pay dividends on our common or preferred stock in the second quarter of 2020 and do not expect to pay dividends on our common or preferred stock for the foreseeable future.
We did not pay dividends on our common or preferred stock in the second quarter of 2020, and we do not expect to pay dividends on our common or preferred stock for the foreseeable future, particularly in light of the downturn in our business occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic and the demands of our property-level lenders, with whom we are currently negotiating forbearance agreements in light of our failure to make interest and principal payments starting in April 2020. Our board of directors decides each quarter whether to pay dividends on our common or preferred stock, based on a variety of factors.
We may become no longer eligible to use Form S-3, which would impair our capital raising activities.
We may become no longer eligible to use Form S-3 as a result of our recent payment defaults under our mortgage loans with our property level lenders, which occurred beginning on April 1, 2020, and our failure to pay dividends to our holders of preferred stock during the second quarter of 2020. If such defaults are not cured by December 31, 2020, we will not be able to use our currently effective Form S-3 to register sales of our securities. In addition, we are currently restricted from filing new shelf registration statements on Form S-3 or filing a post-effective amendment to an existing Form S-3 as a result of our payment defaults. Our existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 is set to expire September 28, 2020. We have relied on shelf registration statements on Form S-3 for our financings in recent years, and accordingly any such limitations may harm our ability to raise the capital we need. Under these circumstances, if we become ineligible to use our existing Form S-3 again, we will be required to use a registration statement on Form S-11 to register securities with
63
the SEC, which would hinder our ability to act quickly in raising capital to take advantage of market conditions in our capital raising activities and would increase our cost of raising capital.
If we are unable to meet the continued listing criteria, our common stock could be delisted from the NYSE and it could have a substantial effect on our liquidity and results of operations.
On April 17, 2020, we received written notification from the NYSE that the average closing price of our common stock over the prior 30 consecutive trading-day period was below $1.00 per share, which is the minimum average closing price per share required to maintain listing on the NYSE under Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. We informed the NYSE that we intend to cure the deficiency and to return to compliance with the NYSE continued listing requirements, which they acknowledged. On July 15, 2020, we completed a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of our common stock. On August 3, 2020, the NYSE notified the Company that it had cured its non-compliance with the NYSE’s minimum average closing price per share standard because the average closing price of our common stock was above $1.00 per share on July 31, 2020 and for the 30 consecutive trading-day period ending July 31, 2020.
Our common stock could also be delisted if (i) our average market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period is less than $15 million, or (ii) our common stock trades at an “abnormally low” price. In either case, our common stock would be suspended from trading on the NYSE immediately, and the NYSE would begin the process to delist our common stock, subject to our right to appeal under NYSE rules. Additionally, our common stock could be delisted if our average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period is less than $50 million and, at the same time, our stockholders’ equity is less than $50 million. In this case, the NYSE would have discretion to provide us with a cure period up to a maximum of 18 months. If any of these were to occur, there is no assurance that any appeal we undertake in these or other circumstances would be successful, nor is there any assurance that we will remain in compliance with the other NYSE continued listing standards.
Failure to maintain our NYSE listing could negatively impact us and our stockholders by reducing the willingness of investors to hold our common stock because of the resulting decreased price, liquidity and trading volume of our common stock, limited availability of price quotations, and reduced news and analyst coverage. These developments may also require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and may limit our ability to raise capital by issuing additional shares in the future. Delisting may adversely impact the perception of our financial condition and cause reputational harm with investors and parties conducting business with us. In addition, the perceived decreased value of equity incentive awards may reduce their effectiveness in encouraging executive performance and retention.
In light of the downturn of our business and Ashford Inc.’s business occasioned by COVID-19, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of the Enhanced Return Funding Program.
On June 26, 2018, we entered into the Enhanced Return Funding Program Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (the “ERFP Agreement”) with Ashford Inc. and Ashford LLC, which generally provides that Ashford LLC will provide funding to facilitate the acquisition of properties by us that are recommended by Ashford LLC, in an aggregate amount of up to $50 million (subject to increase to up to $100 million by mutual agreement). In light of the downturn of our business and Ashford Inc.’s business occasioned by COVID-19, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of the ERFP Agreement. Specifically, as of the date of this filing, Ashford LLC has a remaining commitment to provide approximately $9.4 million in ERFP funding to us in respect of its initial $50 million commitment. Ashford LLC, however, is not required to commit to provide funding under the ERFP Agreement if
its
unrestricted cash balance, after taking into account the cash amount required for such funding, would be less than $15.0 million. Given the significant negative impact that COVID-19 has had on the business of Ashford Inc. and Ashford LLC, it is uncertain whether Ashford LLC will be able to provide us with this additional funding, either because Ashford LLC’s unrestricted cash balance falls below $15.0 million or Ashford LLC is otherwise financially unable or unwilling to provide such funding. Moreover, we are also entitled to receive an additional $11.4 million in payments from Ashford LLC with respect to our purchase of the
Embassy Suites New York Manhattan Times Square
in 2019. On March 13, 2020, an extension agreement was entered into whereby the due date for such payment was extended to December 31, 2022. It is uncertain whether Ashford LLC will be able to make this payment and, if such payment is made, the timing of such payment. Furthermore, if Ashford Inc. and Ashford LLC do not fulfill their contractual obligations pursuant to the ERFP Agreement, we may choose not to enforce, or to enforce less vigorously, our rights because of our desire to maintain our ongoing relationship with Ashford Inc. and Ashford LLC, and legal action against either party could negatively impact that relationship.
Additionally, under the terms of the ERFP Agreement, we are required on a going forward basis to pay an asset management fee to our advisor, Ashford Inc., with respect to any hotel purchased with money funded pursuant to the ERFP Agreement, even after such hotel is disposed of, including as a result of foreclosure. As a result, if any hotel purchased
64
with
funds provided pursuant to the ERFP Agreement is foreclosed upon or otherwise disposed of, including the
Embassy Suites New York Manhattan Times Square
or the
Hilton Scotts Valley hotel in Santa Cruz, California (the property level secured debt of each of which is in default and has been accelerated by lenders), we will still be obligated to pay Ashford Inc. an asset management fee as if we continued to own the hotels. Additionally, we would be required to replace the FF&E we had previously sold to Ashford Inc. in any hotel that was foreclosed upon with new FF&E from a different hotel.
We are required to make minimum base management fee payments to our advisor, Ashford Inc., under our advisory agreement, which must be paid even if our total market capitalization and performance decline. Similarly, we are required to make minimum base hotel management fee payments under our hotel management agreements with Remington Hotels, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., which must be paid even if revenues at our hotels decline significantly.
Pursuant to the advisory agreement between us and our advisor, we must pay our advisor on a monthly basis a base management fee (based on our total market capitalization and performance), subject to a minimum base management fee. The minimum base management 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, including as a result of the impact of COVID-19, we will still be required to make monthly payments to our advisor equal to the minimum base management fee (which we expect will equal 90% of the base fee paid for the same month in the prior fiscal year), which could adversely impact our liquidity and financial condition.
Similarly, pursuant to our hotel management agreement with Remington Hotels, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., we pay Remington Hotels monthly base hotel management fees on a per hotel basis equal to the greater of approximately $14,000 (increased annually based on consumer price index adjustments) or 3% of gross revenues. As a result, even if revenues at our hotels decline significantly, we will still be required to make minimum monthly payments to Remington Hotels equal to approximately $14,000 per hotel (increased annually based on consumer price index adjustments), which could adversely impact our liquidity and financial condition.
Some of our hotels are subject to ground leases; if we are found to be in breach of a ground lease or are unable to renew a ground lease, our business could be materially and adversely affected.
Some of our hotels are on land subject to ground leases, at least two of which cover the entire property. Accordingly, we only own a long-term leasehold
rather than a fee simple interest, with respect to all or a portion of the real property at
these hotels. We may not continue to make payments due on our ground leases, particularly in light of the downturn in our business occasioned by COVID-19. If we fail to make a payment on a ground lease or are otherwise found to be in breach of a ground lease, we could lose the right to use the hotel or the portion of the hotel property that is subject to the ground lease. In addition, unless we can purchase the fee simple interest in the underlying land and improvements, or extend the terms of these ground leases before their expiration, we will lose our right to operate these properties and our interest in the improvements upon expiration of the ground leases. We may not be able to renew any ground lease upon its expiration, or if renewed, the terms may not be favorable. Our ability to exercise any extension options relating to our ground leases is subject to the condition that we are not in default under the terms of the ground lease at the time that we exercise such options. If we lose the right to use a hotel due to a breach or non-renewal of the ground lease, we would be unable to derive income from such hotel and would need to purchase an interest in another hotel to attempt to replace that income, which could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and prospects. Our ability to refinance a hotel property subject to a ground lease may be negatively impacted as the ground lease expiration date approaches.
We face risks related to an ongoing Securities and Exchange Commission investigation.
In June 2020, each of the Ashford Companies received an administrative subpoena from the SEC. The administrative subpoena requests the production of documents and other information since January 1, 2018 relating to, among other things, (1) related party transactions among the Ashford Companies (including the agreement between the Company and Lismore pursuant to which the Company engaged Lismore to negotiate the refinancing, modification or forbearance of certain mortgage debt) or between any of the Ashford Companies and any officer, director or owner of the Ashford Companies or any entity controlled by any such person, and (2) the Company’s accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls related to such related party transactions.
The Company is responding to the SEC’s request and at this point we are unable to predict what the timing or the outcome of the SEC investigation may be or what, if any, consequences the SEC investigation may have with respect to the Company. However, the SEC investigation could result in considerable legal expenses, divert management’s attention
65
from other business concerns and harm our business. If the SEC were to determine that legal violations occurred, we could be required to pay significant civil and/or criminal penalties or other amounts, and remedies or conditions could be imposed as part of any resolution. We can provide no assurances as to the outcome of the SEC investigation.
Risks Related to the Proposed Exchange Offers
If the Exchange Offers are consummated, the Exchange Offers may not benefit us or our stockholders and will significantly dilute our Common Stock.
On July 20, 2020, the Company filed the Form S-4 related to an offer to exchange any and all of the outstanding shares of its preferred stock for, at the election of each holder, consideration in the form of cash or shares of Company common stock, in accordance with the terms and conditions as described in the Form S-4, as amended from time to time (the “Exchange Offers”). The Exchange Offers may not enhance stockholder value or improve the liquidity and marketability of our common stock. As of July 17, 2020, there were 10,475,085 outstanding shares of common stock and 22,589,393 shares of preferred stock. The recapitalization would significantly increase the number of outstanding shares of common stock. If all of the outstanding common stock available for issuance under the Exchange Offers is issued, there will be approximately 70,111,000 shares of common stock outstanding.
As a result, if the Exchange Offers are consummated, the Exchange Offers may result in an immediate decrease in the market value of the common stock. In addition, factors unrelated to our stock or our business, such as the general perception of the Exchange Offers by the investment community, may cause a decrease in the value of the common stock and impair its liquidity and marketability. Prior performance of the common stock may not be indicative of the performance of the common stock after the Exchange Offers. Furthermore, securities markets worldwide have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations over the last several years. This market volatility, as well as general economic, market or political conditions, could cause a reduction in the market price and liquidity of the common stock following the Exchange Offers, particularly if the Exchange Offers are not viewed favorably by the investment community.
If we are unable to consummate the Exchange Offers, we will consider other restructuring alternatives available to us at that time, which could adversely affect our business and financial position.
If we are not able to complete the Exchange Offers and improve our near-term liquidity, we will consider other restructuring alternatives available to us at that time. Those alternatives may include, but are not limited to, (i) the transfer of certain of our assets to our lenders to fulfill our obligations, (ii) the sale of profitable assets, (iii) a corporate restructuring and recapitalization, which could include (a) a distribution or spin-off of profitable assets, (b) alternative offers to exchange our outstanding securities and debt obligations, (c) the incurrence of additional debt and (d) obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive, (iv) joint ventures or (v) seeking relief through the commencement of a Chapter 11 proceeding or otherwise under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, including (a) pursuing a plan of reorganization that we would seek to confirm (or “cram down”) despite any class of creditors who reject or are deemed to have rejected such plan, (b) seeking bankruptcy court approval for the sale of some, most or all of our assets pursuant to section 363(b) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and subsequent liquidation of the remaining assets in the bankruptcy case or (c) seeking another form of bankruptcy relief, all of which would involve uncertainties, potential delays and litigation risks.
Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. There can be no assurance that any such alternative will be pursued or accomplished. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in any of these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations.
Under our advisory agreement, a sale or disposition of hotels - for example, in sales, foreclosures or other dispositions - would constitute a “change of control” under our advisory agreement with our advisor Ashford Inc., enabling our advisor to terminate the advisory agreement, if such dispositions collectively constitute either (1) 20% of the gross book value of the Company’s assets in any calendar year or (2) 30% of the gross book value of the Company’s assets over any three-year period. In that event, we would be required to pay a termination fee equal to: (i) 1.1 multiplied by the greater of (a) 12 times the net earnings of our advisor for the 12 month period preceding the termination date of the advisory agreement; (b) the earnings multiple (calculated as our advisor’s total enterprise value on the trading day immediately preceding the day the termination notice is given to our advisor divided by our advisor’s most recently reported adjusted EBITDA) for our advisor’s common stock for the 12 month period preceding the termination date of the advisory agreement multiplied by the net earnings of our advisor for the 12 month period preceding the termination date of the advisory agreement; or (c) the simple average of the earnings multiples for each of the three fiscal years preceding the termination of the advisory agreement (calculated as our advisor’s total enterprise value on the last trading day of each of the three preceding fiscal
66
years divided by, in each case, our advisor’s adjusted EBITDA for the same periods), multiplied by the net earnings of our advisor for the 12 month period preceding the termination date of the advisory agreement; plus (ii) an additional amount such that the total net amount received by our advisor after the reduction by state and U.S. federal income taxes at an assumed combined rate of 40% on the sum of the amounts described in (i) and (ii) shall equal the amount described in (i). In the event we become obligated to pay the termination fee, it is very likely we will not have the financial resources to be able to do so. Moreover, our advisor is entitled to set off, take and apply any of our money on deposit in any of our bank, brokerage or similar accounts (all of which are controlled by, and in the name of, our advisor) to amounts we owe to our advisor - including amounts we would owe to the advisor in respect of the termination fee, and in certain circumstances permits our advisor to escrow any money in such accounts into a termination fee escrow account (to which we would not have access) even prior to the time that the termination fee is payable.
If a protracted and non-orderly restructuring or reorganization were to occur, there is a risk that the ability of the holders of our preferred stock to recover their investments would be substantially delayed and more impaired than under the proposed Exchange Offers. Any alternative we pursue, whether in or out of court, may take substantially longer to consummate than the Exchange Offers. A protracted financial restructuring could disrupt our business and would divert the attention of our management from the operation of our business and implementation of our business plan. It is possible that such a prolonged financial restructuring or bankruptcy proceeding would cause us to lose many of our key officers. Such losses of key officers would likely make it difficult for us to complete a financial restructuring and may make it less likely that we will be able to continue as a viable business.
The uncertainty surrounding a prolonged financial restructuring could also have other adverse effects on us. For example, it could also adversely affect:
•
our ability to raise additional capital;
•
our ability to capitalize on business opportunities and react to competitive pressures;
•
our ability to attract and retain employees;
•
our liquidity;
•
how our business is viewed by investors, lenders, strategic partners or customers; and
•
our enterprise value.
We may choose to waive any of the conditions of the Exchange Offers that we are permitted by law to waive.
The consummation of the Exchange Offer for each series of our preferred stock is subject to, and conditioned upon, the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions discussed in the Form S-4. These conditions are for our sole benefit and may be asserted by us with respect to all or any portion of the Exchange Offers regardless of the circumstances, including any action or inaction by us, giving rise to the condition. These conditions may be waived by us in whole or in part at any time or from time to time in our sole discretion, in accordance with law. Accordingly, we may elect to waive certain conditions to allow an Exchange Offer to close, notwithstanding the fact that one or more conditions may not have been satisfied.
The Exchange Offers may be terminated, cancelled or delayed.
We reserve the right, notwithstanding the satisfaction of these conditions, to terminate or amend the Exchange Offers. Even if any or all of the Exchange Offers are completed, each of the Exchange Offers may not be completed on the schedule described in the Form S-4. The Exchange Offers may be delayed by a waiver of any of the conditions of the Exchange Offers. Accordingly, the holders of our preferred stock participating in the Exchange Offer may have to wait longer than expected to receive their consideration.
One or more of the Exchange Offers may not be consummated and therefore shares of one or more of our series of preferred stock may remain outstanding and continue to have dividend and liquidation rights that are senior to our common stock.
Each of the Exchange Offers is subject to conditions that may or may not be satisfied or waived. Therefore, it is possible that some of the Exchange Offers may be consummated while others may not. If one or more of the Exchange Offers does not close, shares of our preferred stock will remain outstanding. Holders of our preferred stock have certain rights that holders of our common stock do not. These include rights to dividends in priority to dividends on our common stock and a right to receive, upon a liquidation of the Company, a preference amount out of the assets available for distribution to stockholders before any distribution can be made to holders of our common stock. If we were to file for bankruptcy, holders of our shares of preferred stock that remain outstanding would have a claim in bankruptcy that is senior to any claim holders of our common stock would have. In addition, if shares of our preferred stock remain outstanding after one or more of the
67
Exchange Offers close, we may determine in the future to offer to exchange or repurchase shares of our then outstanding preferred stock on terms that are more favorable than the terms of the Exchange Offers.
If tendering holders of our preferred stock are required to return their consideration because a court determines that the Exchange Offers constituted a fraudulent transfer under federal or state laws, or, with respect to the cash consideration, an unlawful distribution under the Maryland General Corporation Law, the recapitalization will not be completed.
A payment or transfer of property can subsequently be voided if a court finds that the payment or transfer constituted a “fraudulent” transfer. There are generally two standards used by courts to determine whether a transfer was fraudulent under federal or state law.
•
First, a transfer will be deemed fraudulent if it was made with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud current or future creditors.
•
Second, a transfer will be considered fraudulent if the transferor received less than reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the payment or transfer of property and either (a) was insolvent at the time of the transaction, (b) was rendered insolvent as a result of the transaction, (c) was engaged, or about to engage, in a business or transaction for which its assets were unreasonably small, or (d) intended to incur, or believed, or should have believed, it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature.
Litigation seeking to void the Exchange Offers as fraudulent transfers would have to be commenced by our creditors or someone acting on their behalf, such as a bankruptcy trustee. If such litigation is instituted, we cannot assure you as to what standard a court would apply in order to determine whether we were “insolvent” as of the date the Exchange Offers were closed, or that a court would not determine that we were insolvent on the date of closing of the Exchange Offers. We also cannot assure you that a court would not determine that the Exchange Offers constituted fraudulent transfers on another ground.
The definition of “insolvent” varies under three potentially applicable statutes. The measure of insolvency for purposes of the foregoing will vary depending upon the law of the jurisdiction which is being applied. Under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, we would be considered insolvent if the sum of all our liabilities is greater than the value of all our property at a fair valuation. The foregoing standards are applied on a case-by-case basis to determine the insolvency of a particular person. Because there can be no assurance which jurisdiction’s fraudulent transfer law would be applied by a court, there can be no assurance as to what standard a court would apply in order to determine insolvency.
If a court determines the Exchange Offers constituted fraudulent transfers, the Exchange Offers could be voided. If the Exchange Offers are deemed a fraudulent transfer, the holders of our preferred stock that successfully tender their shares may be required to return the consideration received for their preferred stock, and such holders would be returned to their original position as a holder of our preferred stock.
Under the Maryland General Corporation Law, the payment of the Cash Option (as such term is defined in the Form S-4) would be considered an unlawful distribution if, as of the date the cash consideration is transferred to the tendering holders of our preferred stock and after giving effect to the payment, the Company would not be able to pay its indebtedness as such indebtedness becomes due in the usual course of the business or its liabilities would exceed its assets.
