ITEM 2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
On May 26, 2026, Ashford BC LP and Ashford TRS BC LLC (together “Seller”), indirect subsidiaries of Braemar Hotels & Resorts Inc. (the “Company”), completed the sale of the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa located in Avon, Colorado (the “Hotel”) pursuant to an Agreement of Purchase and Sale, dated as of April 27, 2026, by and among Seller and Apres Owner, LLC, as purchaser, for $176 million in cash, subject to customary pro-rations and adjustments.
In conjunction with the sale, the Company repaid the $70.5 million mortgage loan secured by the Hotel and retained approximately $104.5 million of net proceeds after payment of transaction costs and the release of operating cash held at the Hotel.
ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.
On June 1, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the sale of the Hotel. Additionally, the Company announced the repayment of its 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.
On June 1, 2026, the Company repaid in full, at scheduled maturity, the outstanding principal amount of approximately $86.25 million of its 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”), together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of May 18, 2021 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Following such repayment, all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture have been satisfied and discharged in accordance with their terms, and the Indenture has been terminated.
The Company funded the repayment of the Notes with proceeds from the disposition of the Hotel.
As previously disclosed, on December 22, 2025, the Company and Braemar Hospitality Limited Partnership, the operating subsidiary of the Company (“Braemar OP”), entered into an Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the letter agreement, dated as of August 26, 2025 (the “Letter Agreement”), by and among the Company, Braemar OP, Ashford Inc. and Ashford Hospitality Advisors LLC (together with Ashford Inc., the “Advisor”). The Advisor serves as the external advisor to the Company and Braemar OP.
As previously disclosed, the Letter Agreement was entered into with respect to that certain Fifth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement, dated as of April 23, 2018, by and among the Company, Braemar OP, Braemar TRS Corporation and the Advisor (as amended, the “Advisory Agreement”), in connection with the Company’s exploration of a potential sale of the Company.
The Amendment was entered into in order to eliminate unintended ambiguity regarding the circumstances under which the aforementioned termination fees become due and payable to the Advisor and the timing of payment in order to more fully reflect the parties’ original intent under the Letter Agreement and ensure consistency across potential transaction structures in how the proceeds from a Company Sale Transaction are applied.
The sale of the Hotel, taken together with the sale of other properties during the applicable twelve-month and thirty-six-month lookback periods, does not, the Company believes, exceed the threshold that constitutes a Change of Control under the Advisory Agreement.
