The Company also paid approximately $12.9 million to the mortgage lender on a loan secured by 14 hotels, including this property. Unaudited pro forma financial statements remove Embassy Suites Houston’s assets, liabilities, and results, and include a preliminary, non‑recurring gain on the disposition.
On this basis, pro forma net loss attributable to common stockholders is $76.145 million for 2024 and $135.170 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, illustrating the business without this hotel.
Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. filed a current report describing that it has announced certain tax reporting information related to its 2025 preferred dividends. The company released this information through a press release dated January 27, 2026, which is included as an exhibit.
The disclosure is made under Regulation FD, which is intended to ensure that all investors have equal access to important company information. The company also clarifies that this informational update and its exhibits are not considered filed for liability purposes under the Exchange Act, nor automatically incorporated into other securities filings unless specifically referenced.
Ashford Hospitality Trust executive Jim A. Plohg, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, filed an amended initial ownership report detailing his partnership interests in the company’s operating subsidiary. He holds 26.8 Special Limited Partnership (LTIP) Units and 8 Common Limited Partnership Units.
The LTIP Units are special long-term incentive partnership units in Ashford Hospitality Limited Partnership. Once vested LTIP Units reach parity with common units, they can be converted into common units at Plohg’s option. The filing notes that neither the LTIP Units nor the common units have an expiration date.
The common units are redeemable for cash or, at Ashford Hospitality Trust’s option, convertible into shares of its common stock on a 1-for-1 basis. This amendment focuses on describing Plohg’s existing ownership structure rather than reporting new purchase or sale transactions.
Ashford Hospitality Trust has extended its Highland mortgage loan secured by 18 hotels.

The company states that previously declared but unpaid dividends are intended to be paid as soon as reasonably practicable and will continue to accrue under the terms of each preferred series, while decisions on future dividends will be made quarterly.
