Dear Fellow Stockholders, The Boards of Directors of Carey Watermark Investors Inc. (CWI 1) and Carey Watermark Investors 2 Inc. (CWI 2) have approved a proposal to combine the two companies to form a $4.6 billion company called Watermark Lodging Trust (WLT) with a portfolio of high-quality lodging assets led by an internal management team with a distinctive record of stockholder value creation. We believe this transaction creates meaningful benefits for both CWI 1 and CWI 2 stockholders and is an important step on the path to a liquidity event. We believe combining CWI 1 and CWI 2 will offer: per available room (RevPAR)a key hotel industry benchmark of financial performanceis $188 for the twelve months ended September 30, 2019, compared with a national average of $87. Pro forma occupancy of 74.6% and average daily rate (ADR) of $252 for the same period outpace the broader industrys 66.2% and $131, respectively, further illustrating the quality of the portfolio. WLT will have a strong presence in highly sought after lodging markets and will consist of numerous generational assets that would be extremely difficult to reproduce today. Full-service hotels and resorts will represent 62% and 28% of the combined company EBITDA, respectively. These assets are difficult to buildresulting in less new competitive supply in the areas where we are best representedand provide broader value creation opportunities. We also believe in the benefits of the key hotel brands. As one of the largest owners of Ritz-Carltons in the U.S. and many other marquee brand assets, our long-standing brand relationships provide several benefits including leverage in negotiations to drive better terms. We will continue to optimize the portfolio of the combined company and believe that we have the opportunity to create additional value for stockholders over the long term. Continuity of highly experienced management team We are combining the teams that have been working hard on your behalf and creating a single team dedicated to driving growth for our stockholders. The team will be made up of Watermark Capital Partnerssubadvisor to CWI 1 and CWI 2and W. P. Carey professionals that have been primarily dedicated to CWI 1 and CWI 2. By internalizing management, we will maintain the highly experienced team which has extensive knowledge of all CWI 1 and CWI 2 assets and expects to recognize annual cost savings of approximately $30 million, which will improve cash flow, earnings, distribution coverage and credit metrics. Internally managed REITs are typically viewed more favorably and valued higher compared to externally managed REITs, which should improve valuation in the event of a public listing or IPO and better position WLT among public lodging REITsthe vast majority of which are internally managed. a unique opportunity to combine two highly complementary portfolios and create a premier lodging REIT; seamless transition to a dedicated internal team with a proven record of creating stockholder value to be led by the current CEO and CFO; a reduction of annual expenses by approximately $30 million, improving earnings, distribution coverage and credit profile; and improved positioning of WLT for liquidity, including a potential listing or IPO. In the merger, CWI 1 stockholders will receive 0.9106 shares of CWI 2 Class A common stock for each share of CWI 1 common stock owned. The exchange ratio was determined based on the December 31, 2018 net asset values per share (NAV) of CWI 1 and CWI 2 which were $10.39 and $11.41, respectively. CWI 2 stockholders will continue to own their existing Class A and Class T shares. Immediately following the closing of the merger, CWI 2 will be renamed Watermark Lodging Trust. Creating a premier lodging REIT The merger of CWI 1 and CWI 2 combines two highly complementary portfolios that benefit from strong brand affiliations, geographic diversification and a focus on top markets. As a result of the merger, stockholders will own shares in a premier lodging REIT consisting of 33 high-quality lodging assets in attractive markets with significant barriers to entry and favorable growth prospects. On a pro forma basis, WLTs revenue The Merger and Internalization WLT expects to recognize annual cost savings of approximately $30 million due to the elimination of certain fees and cash flow interests, a more advantageous tax structure and operating efficiencies. This will improve cash flow, earnings, distribution coverage and credit metrics. 3

Questions and Answers Q: What will stockholders receive in the merger? A: CWI 1 stockholders will receive 0.9106 shares of CWI 2 Class A common stock for each share of CWI 1 common stock that they own. For example, a CWI 1 stockholder who owns 1,000 shares of CWI 1 common stock will receive 910.6 shares of CWI 2 Class A common stock. CWI 2 stockholders will continue to own their existing shares of CWI 2 Class A and Class T common stock. At the time of the merger, CWI 2 will be renamed Watermark Lodging Trust Inc. to approve the amendment and restatement of CWI 2s charter in connection with and contingent upon a possible future initial public offering or stock exchange listing of the combined company to approve any adjournment of the CWI 2 special meeting, including to solicit additional proxies, if necessary a vote against the merger proposal and the CWI 1 charter amendment. A CWI 2 stockholder not voting will have the same effect as a vote against the CWI 2 charter amendment and the CWI 2 listing charter restatement but will have no impact on the merger proposal. Q: Will a proxy solicitor be used? A: Yes, CWI 1 and CWI 2 have contracted Broadridge Financial Solutions in the distribution of proxy materials and the solicitation of proxies. The CWI 2 Board of Directors, following the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of independent directors, recommends that CWI 2s stockholders vote FOR each of the proposals to be considered at the CWI 2 special meeting. Q: Why does the CWI 1 charter need to be amended in order to complete the merger with CWI 2? A: In the CWI 1 charter, there are limitations on roll-up transactions. The charter amendment would remove the section from the charter that imposes substantive and procedural requirements relating to roll-up transactions, which the CWI 1 Board of Directors and CWI 1 Special Committee believe could make it impossible or impractical to complete the merger. Q: When is the merger expected to be completed? A: The merger is expected to be completed on or around March 30, 2020; however, there can be no assurance as to when, or if, the merger will be completed.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding CWI 1 common stock is required to approve the CWI 1 charter amendment proposal.

P. Carey in connection with the Internalization Agreement. Furthermore, the amendment and restatement would bring CWI 2s charter more in line with those of publicly listed companies in connection with a possible future initial public offering or stock exchange listing of WLT. to approve the merger to approve the amendment of CWI 1s charter to eliminate the procedural and substantive requirements of CWI 1s charter applicable to roll-up transactions to approve any adjournment of the CWI 1 special meeting, including to solicit additional proxies, if necessary The affirmative vote of a majority of all of the votes cast by CWI 2 stockholders on the proposal is required to approve the CWI 2 merger proposal.
