 Mr. Donnelly's compensation was annualized to represent his compensation as if he were CEO for the entire 2024 fiscal year, as permitted by Instruction 10 to Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. The calculation includes the amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the fiscal year 2024, except that the salary was calculated as though Mr. Donnelly base salary was at the higher CEO rate for the entire fiscal year. The compensation amounts in the column "All Other Compensation" were not adjusted as there was no increase in the benefits between those he received as CFO and CEO.

#### Pay Versus Performance Disclosure
Provided below is the Company’s “pay versus performance” disclosure as required pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act. As required by Item 402(v), we have included:

• the relationship between our total shareholder return (“TSR”) and the TSR of the Dow Jones U.S. Hotel & Lodging REITs Index (“Peer Group TSR”); and

• the relationships between CAP and our cumulative TSR, GAAP net income and our Company selected measure, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA.
