**ITEM 4.02 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NON-RELIANCE ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR A RELATED AUDIT REPORT OR COMPLETED INTERIM AUDIT REVIEW.** 

On February 1, 2023, the audit committee of Braemar Hotels & Resorts Inc. (the "Company") concluded, after discussion with the Company's management, that the Company's unaudited financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2022, included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 7, 2022, contained a material misstatement and should not be relied upon. The misstatement related to the presentation of the Company's statement of operations missing a non-cash item associated with the Company's Series E Redeemable Preferred Stock and Series M Redeemable Preferred Stock, which impacted net income attributable to common stockholders and the related calculation of earnings per share for the period. Due to the non-cash nature of this item, it would have had no impact on the Company's reported metrics for Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO") and Adjusted EBITDAre.

The Company's statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, excluded the combined $2.6 million and $4.8 million redemption value adjustment, respectively, associated with the Company's Series E Redeemable Preferred Stock and Series M Redeemable Preferred Stock that had been issued during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, which should have decreased net income attributable to common stockholders and income (loss) per share. These amounts were reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, in the line item entitled "redemption value adjustment - preferred stock."

The effect of correcting this misstatement will result in a restatement of the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as shown in the table below (amounts in thousands except per share amounts):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **As Originally Reported** | **Adjustment** | **As Restated** |
| **<u>Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations</u>** | | | |
| Deemed dividend on redeemable preferred stock | $— | $(4802) | $(4802) |
| Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders | $7594 | $(4802) | $2792 |
| **Income (loss) per share - basic:** |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Net income (loss) allocated to common stockholders per share | $0.11 | $(0.07) | $0.04 |
| **Income (loss) per share - diluted:** |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Net income (loss) allocated to common stockholders per share | $0.11 | $(0.07) | $0.04 |

---

The deemed dividend on redeemable preferred stock was $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, which increased net loss attributable to common stockholders from $(14.1) million to $(16.7) million and increased net loss allocated to common stockholders per share from $(0.20) to $(0.24).

As a result, the Company will restate its financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2022 and anticipates that it will report a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting when it files its Form 10-Q/A for the third quarter of 2022.

The matters set forth in this Form 8-K have been discussed with the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, BDO USA, LLP.
