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. The company also terminated its $100 million at-the-market equity program, so it no longer has a way to sell new shares through that program. The company says the moves are intended to strengthen liquidity and align the advisor's interests with stockholders.
Fee waiver covers about $17 million, or about $2.60 per common share, for the six months through April 2027, and the waived fees will not become payable.
Ashford Inc. must buy 2.5% of outstanding shares each quarter, starting with the quarter ended September 30, 2026; the initial quarterly amount is about 162,000 shares based on about 6.47 million shares outstanding.
If Ashford Inc. falls short, it must provide a fee credit equal to 150% of the volume-weighted average price for each unbought share, with purchases for that quarter due by March 31, 2027.
