Ashford Hospitality Trust: advisor waives $17 million in fees, ends stock sale program

Positive shareholder Written later 1.011.027.01

Ashford Hospitality Trust said its advisor, Ashford Inc., will waive about $17 million of advisory fees over six months from November 2026 through April 2027, and agreed to buy 2.5% of the company's outstanding common stock each quarter in the open market.
