 and Mr. Ghassemieh, since their appointment to the Board effective as of December 30, 2024, April 1, 2025 and August 25, 2025, respectively) under the standards set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the NYSE Listed Company Manual, and our Board has been since that date and is comprised of a majority of independent directors, as required by Section 303A.01 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. Any reference to an independent director herein means such director satisfies both the standards set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the NYSE independence tests.

In addition, each current member of our Audit Committee and our Compensation Committee has been determined by the Board to be independent and to have been independent at all pertinent times under the heightened independence standards applicable to members of audit committees of boards of directors and to members of compensation committees of boards of directors of companies with equity securities listed for trading on the NYSE and under the rules of the SEC under the Exchange Act and that each nominee for election as a director of the Company at the Annual Meeting is independent under those standards.

In making the independence determinations with respect to our current directors, the Board examined all relationships between each of our directors or their affiliates and Braemar or its affiliates. The Board determined that none of these transactions impaired the independence of the directors involved.
