 Agreement with Ashford Inc. and Ashford Trust which states that, notwithstanding anything in the prior contribution agreements: (1) the parties equally split responsibility for all aggregate contributions made by them to Ashford Securities through September 30, 2021 and (2) thereafter, their contributions for each quarter will be based on the ratio of the amounts raised by each party through Ashford Securities the prior quarter compared to the total aggregate amount raised by the parties through Ashford Securities the prior quarter. To the extent contributions made by any of the parties through December 31, 2023 differed from the amounts owed pursuant to the foregoing, the parties shall make true up payments to each other to settle the difference. During the first quarter of 2024, the funding requirement was revised based on the aggregate capital raised through Ashford Securities. This resulted in Braemar receiving a payment of approximately $5.9 million from Ashford Inc. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2024, there was also a true-up of the capital contributions in accordance with the Third Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement made through December 31, 2023, which resulted in a payment of $3.5 million from Ashford Inc.

Our Relationship and Agreements with Ashford Trust

We were spun off from Ashford Trust in November 2013 and, until July 2015, Ashford Trust's operating subsidiary owned approximately 15% of the outstanding common units of our operating partnership, which were redeemable for shares of our common stock on a 1-for-1 basis. In July 2015, Ashford Trust's operating subsidiary completed a distribution of these common units to its limited partners, including Ashford Trust. Ashford Trust sought to redeem the common units and receive shares of our common stock, and completed a pro rata, taxable dividend of our common stock to its stockholders. Following this transaction, Ashford Trust no longer owns any of our securities.

All of our named executive officers are executive officers of Ashford Trust (with the exception of our President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Richard J. Stockton, who is not an executive officer of Ashford Trust) and we have one common director with Ashford Trust, Mr. Monty J. Bennett, Chairman of our Board and Chairman of Ashford Trust. As of March 31, 2025, our directors and named executive officers and their immediate family members (including Mr. Archie Bennett, Jr., who is Mr. Monty J. Bennett's father)
