AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) 1. Organization and Description of Business Braemar Hotels & Resorts Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“Braemar”), is a Maryland corporation that invests primarily in high revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) luxury hotels and resorts. High RevPAR, for purposes of our investment strategy, means RevPAR of at least twice the then-current U.S. national average RevPAR for all hotels as determined by STR, LLC. Braemar has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Braemar conducts its business and owns substantially all of its assets through its operating partnership, Braemar Hospitality Limited Partnership (“Braemar OP”). In this report, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refers to Braemar Hotels & Resorts Inc. and, as the context may require, all entities included in its condensed consolidated financial statements. We are advised by Ashford Hospitality Advisors LLC (“Ashford LLC” or the “Advisor”) through an advisory agreement. Ashford LLC is a subsidiary of Ashford Inc. All of the hotel properties in our portfolio are currently asset-managed by Ashford LLC. We do not have any employees. All of the services that might be provided by employees are provided to us by Ashford LLC. We do not operate any of our hotel properties directly; instead we employ hotel management companies to operate them for us under management contracts. Remington Lodging & Hospitality, LLC (“Remington Hotels”), a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., manages four of our 15 hotel properties. Third-party management companies manage the remaining hotel properties. Ashford Inc. also provides other products and services to us or our hotel properties through certain entities in which Ashford Inc. has an ownership interest. These products and services include, but are not limited to design and construction services, debt placement and related services, broker-dealer and distribution services, audio visual services, real estate advisory services, insurance claims services, hypoallergenic premium rooms, watersport activities, travel/transportation services and mobile key technology. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries of Braemar OP that as of June 30, 2022, own 15 hotel properties in six states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (“USVI”). The portfolio includes 13 wholly-owned hotel properties and two hotel properties that are owned through a partnership in which Braemar OP has a controlling interest. These hotel properties represent 3,971 total rooms, or 3,736 net rooms, excluding those attributable to our partner. As a REIT, Braemar is required to comply with limitations imposed by the Code related to operating hotels. As of June 30, 2022, 14 of our 15 hotel properties were leased by wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries that are treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) for federal income tax purposes (collectively the TRS entities are referred to as “Braemar TRS”). One hotel property, located in the USVI, is owned by our USVI TRS. Braemar TRS then engages third-party or affiliated hotel management companies to operate the hotel properties under management contracts. Hotel operating results related to the hotel properties are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2022, 12 of the 15 hotel properties were leased by Braemar’s wholly-owned TRS, and the two hotel properties majority-owned through a consolidated partnership were leased to a TRS wholly-owned by such consolidated partnership. Each leased hotel is leased under a percentage lease that provides for each lessee to pay in each calendar month the base rent plus, in each calendar quarter, percentage rent, if any, based on hotel revenues. Lease revenue from Braemar TRS is eliminated in consolidation. The hotel properties are operated under management contracts with Marriott Hotel Services, Inc. (“Marriott”), Hilton Management LLC (“Hilton”), Accor Management US Inc. (“Accor”), Hyatt Corporation (“Hyatt”), The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. and its affiliates, each of which is also an affiliate of Marriott (“Ritz-Carlton”) and Remington Hotels, which are eligible independent contractors under the Code. 2. Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation —The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Braemar Hotels & Resorts Inc., its majority-owned subsidiaries, and its majority-owned entities in which it has a controlling interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated in these condensed consolidated financial statements. We have condensed 9 Table of Contents BRAEMAR HOTELS & RESORTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (unaudited) or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe the disclosures made herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 10, 2022. Braemar OP is considered to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”), as defined by authoritative accounting guidance. A VIE must be consolidated by a reporting entity if the reporting entity is the primary beneficiary because it has (i) the power to direct the VIE’s activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. All major decisions related to Braemar OP that most significantly impact its economic performance, including but not limited to operating procedures with respect to business affairs and any acquisitions, dispositions, financings, restructurings or other transactions with sellers, purchasers, lenders, brokers, agents and other applicable representatives, are subject to the approval of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Braemar OP General Partner LLC, its general partner. As such, we consolidate Braemar OP. The following items affect reporting comparability of our historical condensed consolidated financial statements: • historical seasonality patterns at some of our hotel properties cause fluctuations in our overall operating results. Consequently, operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022; • on August 5, 2021, we acquired the Mr. C Beverly Hills Hotel and five adjacent luxury residences. The operating results of the hotel property have been included in the results of operations from its acquisition date; and • on March 11, 2022, we acquired The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach hotel located in Dorado, Puerto Rico. The operating results of the hotel property have been included in the results of operations from its acquisition date. Use of Estimates —The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards —In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This ASU: (1) simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, that requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock; (2) revises the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification; and (3) revises the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption and cannot adopt the guidance in an interim reporting period. We adopted ASU 2020-06 through the modified retrospective method on January 1, 2022. Upon adoption, our Convertible Senior Notes are recorded as a single debt instrument at amortized cost, instead of being recorded as both a liability and equity. The Company ceased recording non-cash interest expense associated with amortization of the debt discount associated with the conversion features. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 resulted in an adjustment to additional paid-in capital, accumulated deficit, and the carrying value of our Convertible Senior Notes. The impact of adopting ASU 2020-06 includes an increase to “indebtedness, net” and a decrease to stockholders’ equity of approximately $ 5.6 million. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, beyond the impact to our Convertible Senior Notes described above. 10 Table of Contents BRAEMAR HOTELS & RESORTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (unaudited) The impact of adoption on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 resulted in a decrease to net interest expense by $ 273,000 relating to the non-cash interest expense associated with amortization of the debt discount. The adoption had no effect on our basic and diluted net income per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Recently Issued Accounting Standards —In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope (“ASU 2021-01”) to provide guidance and relief for transitioning to alternative reference rates. ASU 2021-01 is effective immediately for all entities. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply the elections as applicable as changes in the market occur. 3.

There was no such gain recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, no impairment charges were recorded. The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach On March 11, 2022, the Company acquired a 100 % interest in the 96 -room Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach in Dorado, Puerto Rico. The total consideration consisted of $ 104.0 million of cash and 6.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of approximately $ 35.0 million. Additionally, the Company assumed a $ 54.0 million mortgage loan with a fair value of approximately $ 58.6 million. See note 6 for further discussion regarding the mortgage loan. On March 14, 2022, the Company filed a resale registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the SEC on April 1, 2022, to register for resale the 6.0 million shares of common stock. We accounted for this acquisition as an asset acquisition because substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired were concentrated in a group of similar identifiable assets. The cost of the acquisition including transaction costs of approximately $ 1.9 million, was allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis, which is considered a Level 3 valuation technique. 12 Table of Contents BRAEMAR HOTELS & RESORTS INC.

Investment in Unconsolidated Entity OpenKey is a hospitality-focused mobile key platform that provides a universal smart phone app and related hardware and software for keyless entry into hotel guest rooms. In 2018, the Company made an initial investment in OpenKey, which is controlled and consolidated by Ashford Inc., for an initial 8.2 % ownership interest. All investments were recommended by our Related Party Transactions Committee and unanimously approved by the independent members of our board of directors. On May 26, 2022, the Company made an additional investment in OpenKey of approximately $ 164,000 . As of June 30, 2022, the Company has made investments in OpenKey totaling $ 2.8 million. Our investment is recorded as “investment in unconsolidated entity” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting as we have significant influence over the entity under the applicable accounting guidance. We review our investment in OpenKey for impairment in each reporting period pursuant to the applicable authoritative accounting guidance. An investment is impaired when its estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount of the investment. Any impairment is recorded in equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entity. No such impairment was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

(2) SOFR rate was 1.686 % at June 30, 2022. (3) On February 2, 2022, we refinanced this mortgage loan totaling $ 67.5 million with a new $ 70.5 million mortgage loan with a two-year initial term and three one-year extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The new mortgage loan is interest only and bears interest at a rate of SOFR + 2.86 %. (4) This mortgage loan has three one-year extension options, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, of which the first was exercised in August 2021. This mortgage loan has a LIBOR floor of 1.00 %. (5) This mortgage loan has a LIBOR floor of 0.25 %. (6) This mortgage loan has five one-year extension options, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, of which the third was exercised in June 2022. (7) This mortgage loan has two one-year extension options, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. This mortgage loan has a LIBOR floor of 0.75 %. (8) This mortgage loan has a LIBOR floor of 1.50 %. (9) The final maturity date assumes all available extensions options will be exercised. During the second and third quarters of 2020, we reached forbearance and other agreements with our lenders relating to loans secured by the Pier House Resort & Spa, The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota, The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe, Hotel Yountville, Bardessono Hotel and Spa, Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile, The Notary Hotel, The Clancy, Marriott Seattle Waterfront, Capital Hilton and Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. As of June 30, 2022, no loans are in default. The Company determined that all of the forbearance and other agreements evaluated were considered troubled debt restructurings due to terms that allowed for deferred interest and the forgiveness of default interest and late charges. As a result of the troubled debt restructurings, all accrued default interest and late charges were capitalized into the applicable loan balances and are being amortized over the remaining term of the loans using the effective interest method. The amount of principal amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $ 500,000 and $ 1.0 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the amount of principal amortization was approximately $ 1.0 million and $ 2.4 million, respectively. 14 Table of Contents BRAEMAR HOTELS & RESORTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (unaudited) On March 11, 2022, in connection with the acquisition of The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach, the Company assumed a $ 54 million mortgage loan. See note 4. Convertible Senior Notes In May 2021, the Company issued $ 86.25 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50 % Convertible Senior Notes due June 2026 (the “Convertible Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from this offering of the Convertible Senior Notes were approximately $ 82.8 million after deducting the underwriting fees and other expenses paid by the Company. The Convertible Senior Notes are governed by an indenture (the “Base Indenture”) between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Convertible Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.50 % per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2021. The Convertible Senior Notes will mature on June 1, 2026. The Company recorded coupon interest expense of $ 970,000 and $ 1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company also recorded coupon interest expense of $ 464,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Upon issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes, the Company separated the Convertible Senior Notes into liability and equity components. The initial carrying amount of the liability component was calculated using a discount rate of 7.1 %. The discount rate was based on the terms of debt instruments that were similar to the Convertible Senior Notes. The $ 6.3 million carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the net proceeds of the Convertible Senior Notes. The amount recorded in equity was not subject to remeasurement or amortization. The initial discount of $ 9.3 million was accreted to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the contractual term of the Convertible Senior Notes. The Company recorded discount amortization of $ 139,000 and $ 271,000 related to the initial purchase discount for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, with the remaining discount balance to be amortized through June 2026. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the discount amortization was $ 185,000 . As a result of the Company's adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022, the Convertible Senior Notes are now recorded as a single liability with no portion recorded in equity. The Company also ceased recording non-cash interest expense associated with the amortization of the portion of the debt discount originally reflected in equity, while the initial purchase discount remains and will continue to be amortized through June 2026. The Convertible Senior Notes are convertible at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date for cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the election of the Company, based on an initial conversion rate of 157.7909 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $ 6.34 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment of the conversion rate under certain circumstances. In addition, following the occurrence of certain corporate events, if the Company provides notice of redemption or if it exercises its option to convert the Convertible Senior Notes, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder that converts its Convertible Senior Notes in connection with such corporate event, such notice of redemption, or such issuer conversion option, as the case may be. The Company may redeem the Convertible Senior Notes at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, on any business day on or after the date of issuance if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130 % of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides a notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes to be redeemed subject to certain adjustments, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If we violate covenants in any debt agreement, we could be required to repay all or a portion of our indebtedness before maturity at a time when we might be unable to arrange financing for such repayment on attractive terms, if at all. The assets of certain of our subsidiaries are pledged under non-recourse indebtedness and are not available to satisfy the debts and other obligations of the consolidated group. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants. 15 Table of Contents BRAEMAR HOTELS & RESORTS INC.

Derivative Instruments Interest Rate Derivatives —We are exposed to risks arising from our business operations, economic conditions and financial markets. To manage these risks, we primarily use interest rate derivatives to hedge our debt and our cash flows, which include interest rate caps. All derivatives are recorded at fair value. The following table summarizes the interest rate derivatives we entered into over the applicable periods: Six Months Ended June 30, Interest rate caps: (1) 2022 2021 Notional amount (in thousands) $ 556,500 $ 679,000 Strike rate low end of range 3.50 % 0.75 % Strike rate high end of range 4.00 % 4.00 % Effective date range February 2022 - May 2022 January 2021 - May 2021 Termination date range May 2023 - February 2024 September 2021 - June 2022 Total cost of interest rate caps (in thousands) $ 1,145 $ 79 _______________ (1) No instruments were designated as cash flow hedges. Interest rate derivatives consisted of the following: Interest rate caps: (1) June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Notional amount (in thousands) $ 860,500 $ 882,500 Strike rate low end of range 2.00 % 0.75 % Strike rate high end of range 4.00 % 4.00 % Termination date range August 2022 - August 2024 February 2022 - August 2024 Aggregate principal balance on corresponding mortgage loans (in thousands) $ 859,500 $ 857,000 _______________ (1) No instruments were designated as cash flow hedges. Warrants —On August 5, 2021, as part of the consideration paid to acquire the Mr. C Beverly Hills Hotel and five adjacent luxury residences, the Company issued 500,000 warrants for the purchase of Braemar common stock with a $ 6.00 strike price on or after August 5, 2021 until August 5, 2024. The holder can choose to exercise the warrant by cash or by net issue exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the holder a number of warrant shares which reflects the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. As of June 30, 2022, no warrants have been exercised. The initial fair value of the warrant was calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: three -year contractual term; 97.93 % volatility; 0 % dividend rate; and a risk-free interest rate of 0.38 %. The estimated fair value of the warrants was approximately $ 1.5 million on the date of issuance. The warrants are re-valued at each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded through earnings. In applying the guidance in ASC 815, it was determined that the warrants should be classified as a liability as a result of certain settlement provisions. The warrants are included in derivative liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and changes in value are reported as a component of unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. This is a Level 2 valuation technique. 16 Table of Contents BRAEMAR HOTELS & RESORTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (unaudited) 8. Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Hierarchy —Our financial instruments measured at fair value either on a recurring or a non-recurring basis are classified in a hierarchy for disclosure purposes consisting of three levels based on the observability of inputs in the market place as discussed below: • Level 1: Fair value measurements that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that we have the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities. Market price data generally is obtained from exchange or dealer markets. • Level 2: Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. • Level 3: Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable. The circumstances for using these measurements include those in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The fair value of interest rate caps are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates rise above the strike rates of the caps. Variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts and payments on the caps are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves (LIBOR forward curves) and volatilities (Level 2 inputs). We also incorporate credit valuation adjustments (Level 3 inputs) to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk. When a majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. However, when the valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties, which we consider significant ( 10 % or more) to the overall valuation of our derivatives, the derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Transfers of inputs between levels are determined at the end of each reporting period. In determining the fair values of our derivatives at June 30, 2022, the LIBOR interest rate forward curve (Level 2 inputs) assumed an uptrend from 1.787 % to 3.520 % for the remaining term of our derivatives. Credit spreads (Level 3 inputs) used in determining the fair values derivatives assumed an uptrend in nonperformance risk for us and all of our counterparties through the maturity dates.

Summary of Fair Value of Financial Instruments Determining the estimated fair values of certain financial instruments such as indebtedness requires considerable judgment to interpret market data. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts at which these instruments could be purchased, sold or settled. 18 Table of Contents BRAEMAR HOTELS & RESORTS INC.

Derivative assets and derivative liabilities . See notes 7 and 8 for a complete description of the methodology and assumptions utilized in determining fair values. Indebtedness, net. Fair value of indebtedness is determined using future cash flows discounted at current replacement rates for these instruments. Cash flows are determined using a forward interest rate yield curve. The current replacement rates are determined by using the U.S. Treasury yield curve or the index to which these financial instruments are tied, and adjusted for the credit spreads. Credit spreads take into consideration general market conditions, maturity and collateral. We estimated the fair value of the total indebtedness to be approximately 89.0 % to 98.4 % of the carrying value of $ 1.2 billion at June 30, 2022, and approximately 87.2 % to 96.4 % of the carrying value of $ 1.2 billion at December 31, 2021. These fair value estimates are considered a Level 2 valuation technique. 19 Table of Contents BRAEMAR HOTELS & RESORTS INC.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership represents the limited partners’ proportionate share of equity and their allocable share of equity in earnings/losses of Braemar OP, which is an allocation of net income/loss attributable to the common unitholders based on the weighted average ownership percentage of these limited partners’ common units of limited partnership interest in the operating partnership (the “common units”) and units issued under our Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP” units) that are vested. Each common unit may be redeemed, by the holder, for either cash or, at our sole discretion, up to one share of our REIT common stock, which is either: (i) issued pursuant to an effective registration statement; (ii) included in an effective registration statement providing for the resale of such common stock; or (iii) issued subject to a registration rights agreement. LTIP units, which are issued to certain executives and employees of Ashford LLC as compensation, generally have vesting periods of three years . Additionally, certain independent members of the board of directors have elected to receive LTIP units as part of their compensation, which are fully vested upon grant. Upon reaching economic parity with common units, each vested LTIP unit can be converted by the holder into one common unit which can then be redeemed for cash or, at our election, settled in our common stock. An LTIP unit will achieve parity with the common units upon the sale or deemed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of our operating partnership at a time when our stock is trading at a level in excess of the price it was trading on the date of the LTIP issuance. More specifically, LTIP units will achieve full economic parity with common units in connection with (i) the actual sale of all or substantially all of the assets of our operating partnership; or (ii) the hypothetical sale of such assets, which results from a capital account revaluation, as defined in the partnership agreement, for our operating partnership. The compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company may authorize the issuance of Performance LTIP units to certain executive officers and directors from time to time. The award agreements provide for the grant of a target number of Performance LTIP units that will be settled in common units of Braemar OP, if, when and to the extent the applicable vesting criteria have been achieved following the end of the performance and service period, which is generally three years from the grant date. As of June 30, 2022, there were approximately 2.2 million Performance LTIP units, representing 200 % of the target, outstanding. With respect to the 2020 award agreements, the number of Performance LTIP units actually earned may range from 0 % to 200 % of target based on achievement of a specified relative total stockholder return based on the formula determined by the Company’s compensation committee on the grant date. The performance criteria for the Performance LTIP units are based on 21 Table of Contents BRAEMAR HOTELS & RESORTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (unaudited) market conditions under the relevant literature. The corresponding compensation cost is recognized ratably over the service period for the award as the service is rendered, based on the grant date fair value of the award, regardless of the actual outcome of the market condition. With respect to the 2021 and 2022 award agreements, the compensation committee shifted to a new performance metric, pursuant to which, the performance awards will be eligible to vest, from 0 % to 200 % of target, based on achievement of certain performance targets over the three-year performance period. The performance criteria for the 2021 and 2022 performance grants are based on performance conditions under the relevant literature. The corresponding compensation cost is recognized ratably over the service period for the award as the service is rendered, based on the grant date fair value of the award. The grant date fair value of the award may vary from period to period, as the number of performance grants earned may vary since the estimated probable achievement of certain performance targets may vary from period to period. In March 2022, the Company granted approximately 1.2 million Performance LTIP units, representing 200 % of the target, with an initial grant date fair value of $ 5.89 per share and a vesting period of three years . During the second quarter, the Company’s stockholders approved an increase to the stock incentive plan, which is sufficient to cover the expected settlements as of June 30, 2022. The 2022 awards, which were originally classified as liability awards, are now classified as equity awards, within temporary equity, which resulted in a remeasurement of the award at a new fair value of $ 5.63 per share. On May 11, 2022, approximately 45,000 LTIP units were issued to independent directors, with a fair value of approximately $ 252,000 , which vested immediately upon grant. As of June 30, 2022, we have issued a total of approximately 3.6 million LTIP and Performance LTIP units, net of Performance LTIP cancellations. All LTIP and Performance LTIP units, other than approximately 569,000 LTIP units and 840,000 Performance LTIP units issued from March 2015 to May 2021, had reached full economic parity with, and are convertible into, common units.

We also issue common stock to certain of our independent directors, which vests immediately upon issuance. In May 2022, approximately 45,000 shares of common stock were issued to independent directors with a fair value of approximately $ 252,000 , which vested immediately upon grant and have been expensed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 . Performance Stock Units —The compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company may authorize the issuance of grants of performance stock units (“PSUs”) to certain executive officers and directors from time to time. The award agreements provide for the grant of a target number of PSUs that will be settled in shares of common stock of the Company, if, when and to the extent the applicable vesting criteria have been achieved following the end of the performance and service period, which is generally three years from the grant date. In March 2022, 41,000 PSUs with a fair value of $ 240,000 and a vesting period of three years were granted. The 2022 awards may be settled in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock solely at the option of the Company. During the second quarter, the Company’s stockholders approved an increase to the stock incentive plan, which is sufficient to cover the expected settlements as of June 30, 2022. The 2022 awards, which were originally classified as liability awards, are now classified as equity awards, which resulted in a remeasurement of the award at a new fair value of $ 229,000 . With respect to the 2021 and 2022 award agreements, the compensation committee shifted to a new performance metric, pursuant to which, the performance awards will be eligible to vest, from 0 % to 200 % of target, based on achievement of certain performance targets over the three-year performance period. The performance criteria for the 2021 and 2022 performance grants are based on performance conditions under the relevant literature, and the 2021 and 2022 performance grants were issued to non-employees. The corresponding compensation cost is recognized ratably over the service period for the award as the service is rendered, based on the grant date fair value of the award, which may vary from period to period, as the number of performance grants earned may vary since the estimated probable achievement of certain performance targets may vary from period to period. 8.25 % Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock —The dividend for all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) is set at $ 2.0625 per annum per share.

On November 7, 2019, Accor filed a complaint against Ashford TRS Chicago II in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, seeking a declaratory judgment that no breach under the Accor management agreement has occurred and an injunction to prevent Ashford TRS Chicago II from terminating the Accor management agreement. Accor’s 32 Table of Contents BRAEMAR HOTELS & RESORTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (unaudited) complaint was dismissed on or about February 27, 2020. On January 6, 2020, Ashford TRS Chicago II filed a complaint against Accor in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, alleging breach of the Accor management agreement and seeking damages and a declaration of its right to terminate the Accor management agreement. On July 20, 2020, Accor filed an Amended Answer and Counterclaims against Ashford TRS Chicago II, in which Accor asserted two causes of action: First, Accor asserted a counterclaim for declaratory judgment that Accor correctly calculated the amount payable to Ashford TRS Chicago II under the Accor management agreement to “cure” Accor’s performance test failure (the “Cure Amount”). Second, Accor asserted a counterclaim for breach of contract alleging that Ashford TRS Chicago II breached the Accor management agreement by wrongfully maintaining that the Cure Amount for the 2018 and 2019 Performance Test failure is $ 1,031,549 instead of $ 535,120 . On February 16, 2022, the parties entered into a settlement agreement agreeing to: 1) amend the Accor management agreement; 2) dismiss the lawsuit and counterclaims; 3) stipulate to the failure of the performance tests and cure amounts for 2018 of $ 867,682 and 2019 of $ 784,919 ; and 4) arbitrate whether the performance tests for 2020 and 2021 were valid and/or required equitable adjustment. On February 23, 2022, Ashford TRS Chicago II and Accor filed a stipulation of discontinuance dismissing all claims, counterclaims, and cross-claims in the January 6, 2020 action with prejudice. As a result of the settlement related to the 2018 performance test failure, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $ 868,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, that is recorded as a reduction of management fees and included in “management fees” on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. On December 20, 2016, a class action lawsuit was filed against one of the Company’s hotel management companies in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Contra Costa alleging violations of certain California employment laws, which class action affects two hotels owned by subsidiaries of the Company. The court has entered an order granting class certification with respect to: (1) a statewide class of non-exempt employees of our manager who were allegedly deprived of rest breaks as a result of our manager’s previous written policy requiring its employees to stay on premises during rest breaks; and (2) a derivative class of non-exempt former employees of our manager who were not paid for allegedly missed breaks upon separation from employment. Notices to potential class members were sent out on February 2, 2021. Potential class members had until April 4, 2021 to opt out of the class; however, the total number of employees in the class has not been definitively determined and is the subject of continuing discovery. While we believe it is reasonably possible that we may incur a loss associated with this litigation, because there remains uncertainty under California law with respect to a significant legal issue, discovery relating to class members continues, and the trial judge retains discretion to award lower penalties than set forth in the applicable California employment laws, we do not believe any potential loss to the Company is reasonably estimable at this time. As of June 30, 2022, no amounts have been accrued. We are also engaged in other legal proceedings that have arisen but have not been fully adjudicated. To the extent the claims giving rise to these legal proceedings are not covered by insurance, they relate to the following general types of claims: employment matters, tax matters and matters relating to compliance with applicable law (for example, the ADA and similar state laws). The likelihood of loss from these legal proceedings is based on the definitions within contingency accounting literature. We recognize a loss when we believe the loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. Based on the information available to us relating to these legal proceedings and/or our experience in similar legal proceedings, we do not believe the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flow. However, our assessment may change depending upon the development of these legal proceedings, and the final results of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. If we do not prevail in one or more of these legal matters, and the associated realized losses exceed our current estimates of the range of potential losses, our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows could be materially adversely affected in future periods. 16. Segment Reporting We operate in one business segment within the hotel lodging industry: direct hotel investments. Direct hotel investments refers to owning hotel properties through either acquisition or new development. We report operating results of direct hotel investments on an aggregate basis as substantially all of our hotel investments have similar economic characteristics and exhibit similar long-term financial performance. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, all of our hotel properties were in the U.S. and its territories. 17. Subsequent Events From July 1, 2022 through August 3, 2022, the Company issued approximately 2.0 million shares of Series E Preferred Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $ 44.1 million and issued approximately 270,000 shares of Series M Preferred Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $ 6.5 million. 33 Table of Contents
