| FOCUS ON SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS |

#### Shareholder Right to Proxy Access
We were one of the first lodging REITs to provide our shareholders with a right to submit trustee nominees for inclusion in our proxy statement if both the shareholder proponents and the trustee nominees satisfy the requirements specified in our Bylaws. We refer to this right as “proxy access.”

After extensive conversations throughout 2016 with shareholders holding over 75% of the outstanding Common Shares, several of whom had owned Common Shares since the IPO, we adopted a “3/3/20/20” model for proxy access in 2016. A shareholder (or a group of up to 20 shareholders) owning at least 3% (0.1% for each group member) of the outstanding Common Shares for at least 3 years may submit trustee nominees (up to 20% of the Board, rounded down) for inclusion in our proxy statement by satisfying the requirements specified in Sections 11 and 12 of Article II of our Bylaws.

#### Shareholder Right to Amend Bylaws
We were one of the first lodging REITs to provide our shareholders with the right to make binding proposals to amend our Bylaws by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Common Shares then outstanding and entitled to vote.

After extensive conversations throughout 2016 with shareholders holding over 75% of the outstanding Common Shares, several of whom had owned Common Shares since the IPO, we adopted a “3/3/20” model for bylaws amendments proposals in 2016. A shareholder (or a group of up to 20 shareholders) owning at least 3% (0.1% for each group member) of the outstanding Common Shares for at least 3 years may make binding proposals to adopt, alter or repeal our Bylaws
