Explanation of responses
- F1Each performance stock unit ("Performance Stock Unit") award represents a right to receive one LTIP Unit (as defined below) if and when the applicable vesting criteria have been achieved.
- F10Common Units held directly by Ashford Financial Corporation, reflecting only the Reporting Person's pecuniary interest in the Common Units held by such entity. The Reporting Person hereby disclaims interest in all other securities of the Issuer held directly by such entity.
- F2Represents the target amount of LTIP Units that may be issued pursuant to an award of Performance Stock Units. The actual number of Performance Stock Units to be issued upon vesting can range from 0% to 200% of the number of Performance Stock Units reported, based on achievement of a specified relative total stockholder return, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Issuer. Assuming continued service through the vesting date and achievement of the specified relative total stockholder return, the Performance Stock Units, as adjusted, will generally vest on March 31, 2019.
- F3The Reporting Person received the Performance Stock Unit award under the Issuer's 2011 Stock Incentive Plan.
- F4Special long-term incentive partnership units ("LTIP Units") in Ashford Hospitality Limited Partnership, the Issuer's operating subsidiary ("Subsidiary"). Vested LTIP Units, upon achieving parity with the Common Limited Partnership Units of the Subsidiary ("Common Units"), are convertible into Common Units at the option of the Reporting Person. Common Units are redeemable for cash or, at the option of the Issuer, convertible into shares of the Issuer's common stock based on a conversion ratio described in the partnership agreement of Subsidiary, which, on March 31, 2016, was 0.9543908329 shares of the Issuer's common stock for each Common Unit.
- F5The acquired LTIPs reported herein vest and are convertible in three (3) substantially equal installments on the first three (3) anniversaries of the date of grant.
- F6Neither the Common Units nor the LTIP Units have an expiration date.
- F7Per LTIP Unit purchase price.
- F8Includes LTIP Units previously granted to, and reported by, the Reporting Person having different grant and vesting dates, some of which (i) may have achieved parity with the Common Units, (ii) have not yet achieved parity with the Common Units, (iii) are currently vested, or (iv) have not yet vested. Such LTIP Units have been combined herein for reporting purposes.
- F9Common Units currently held by the Reporting Person, some of which may have been converted from LTIPs by the Reporting Person. Common Units are redeemable for cash or, at the option of the Issuer, convertible into shares of the Issuer's common stock based on a conversion ratio described in the partnership agreement of Subsidiary, which, on March 31, 2016, was 0.9543908329 shares of the Issuer's common stock for each Common Unit.
