Explanation of Responses:

1. Represents shares of common stock forfeited to the Issuer to satisfy certain tax-withholding obligations of the Reporting Person arising as a result of the vesting of restricted stock held by the Reporting Person.

2. Represents the closing price of the common stock on February 26, 2021, the last trading day before the date of forfeiture.

3. The shares shown have been adjusted to reflect the Issuer's reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock on a 1-for-10 basis that occurred on July 15, 2020.

4. Common Limited Partnership Units ("Common Units") of the Ashford Hospitality Limited Partnership, the Issuer's operating subsidiary (the "Subsidiary"). Common Units are redeemable for cash or, at the option of the Issuer, convertible into shares of the Issuer's common stock on a 1-for-1 basis.

5. The Common Units do not have an expiration date.

6. Reflects aggregate number of Common Units currently held by the Reporting Person, some of which may have been converted from special long-term incentive partnership units of the Subsidiary by the Reporting Person since the Reporting Person's most recent Form 4 or Form 5 filing. See Footnote 4 discussing the convertibility of the Common Units.

7. Each performance stock unit ("Performance Stock Unit") award represents a right to receive between zero (0) and two (2) shares of the Issuer's common stock if and when the applicable vesting criteria have been achieved.

8. Represents the target number of common stock shares that may be issued pursuant to the award of Performance Stock Units. The actual number of shares of common stock to be issued upon vesting can range from 0% to 200% of the target number of Performance Stock Units reported, based on achievement of specified relative and total stockholder returns of the Issuer. Assuming continued service through the vesting date and achievement of the specified relative and total stockholder returns, the Performance Stock Units, as adjusted, will generally vest on March 13, 2021 (with respect to the 2018 grant), December 31, 2021 (with respect to the 2019 grant) and December 31, 2022 (with respect to the 2020 grant). One-third of the Performance Stock Units granted in 2020 will be eligible to vest (at up to 200% of target) based on performance during the first year of the performance period.
