Also as previously announced in our current report on Form 8-K filed on October 13, 2021, Ashford Trust and the Borrower entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) with the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

ITEM 7.01    REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

The disclosure set forth under Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

Declaration of Preferred Share Dividends

On November 23, 2021, the Company issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing that its board of directors (the “Board”) declared cash dividends on the Company’s 8.45% Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock, 7.375% Series F Cumulative Preferred Stock, 7.375% Series G Cumulative Preferred Stock, 7.50% Series H Cumulative Preferred Stock, and 7.50% Series I Cumulative Preferred Stock reflecting accrued and unpaid dividends for the quarters ending June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020, March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2021 (the “Accrued Preferred Share Dividends”). The Company will pay a cash dividend of $3.1686 per Series D preferred share, $2.7654 per Series F preferred share, $2.7654 per Series G preferred share, $2.8125 per Series H preferred share, and $2.8125 per Series I preferred share. These preferred share dividends are payable December 10, 2021, to shareholders of record as of December 1, 2021. The aggregate amount of the Accrued Preferred Share Dividends is approximately $18.6 million.

The Company also announced in the Press Release that its Board:

a)declared a dividend for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2021, of $0.5281 per diluted share, for the Company’s 8.45% Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock. This dividend is payable January 14, 2022, to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2021;

b)declared a dividend for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2021, of $0.4609 per diluted share, for the Company’s 7.375% Series F Cumulative Preferred Stock. This dividend is payable January 14, 2022, to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2021;

c)declared a dividend for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2021, of $0.4609 per diluted share, for the Company’s 7.375% Series G Cumulative Preferred Stock. This dividend is payable January 14, 2022, to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2021;

d)declared a dividend for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2021, of $0.46875 per diluted share, for the Company’s 7.50% Series H Cumulative Preferred Stock. This dividend is payable January 14, 2022, to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2021; and

Prepayment of PIK Principal Outstanding Under the Credit Agreement

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, prepayment of all PIK Principal outstanding under the Credit Agreement is a condition precedent to the Company’s ability to pay current and accrued dividends on Company Preferred Stock. Accordingly, the Company intends to prepay in full all PIK Principal outstanding under the Credit Agreement prior to the payment of the preferred share dividends announced in the Press Release. As of the date of this Form 8-K, PIK Principal outstanding under the Credit Agreement totals approximately $23.5 million.

Payment of Deferred Advisory Fees

Pursuant to Amendment No. 1, so long as (i) there is no PIK Principal is outstanding, (ii) there are no accrued dividends on Company Preferred Stock, and (iii) the aggregate amount of Unrestricted Cash exceeds the amount of (x) all loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement, (y) the PIK Principal outstanding and (z) an amount equal to pay any premiums (including the Prepayment Premium (as defined in the Credit Agreement)) and fees (excluding the exit fee), in each case, that would then be owing if all loans and PIK Principal were prepaid and the Credit Agreement was terminated, the Company’s obligation to defer certain fees due under the Company’s advisory agreement with Ashford Inc. (the “Advisory Agreement”) shall be suspended. Following the Company’s payment of the Accrued Preferred Share Dividends and the PIK Principal outstanding under the Credit Agreement, the Company believes that all other conditions to the Company’s obligation to subordinate fees due under the Advisory Agreement will be satisfied. Accordingly, following such payments, the Company intends to pay all deferred advisory fees under the Advisory Agreement to Ashford Inc. As of the date of this Form 8-K, such deferred advisory fees total approximately $6.6 million.
