Ashford Trust defaults on three KEYS loan pools; expects to transfer 19 hotels to lenders
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Elected not to extend KEYS Pools A, B & F ($570M+ debt); likely consensual transfer of 19 hotels to lenders.
- Extended Pools C, D & E with paydowns totaling ~$129M; avoids $255M in required paydowns on non-extended pools.
- Non-extended hotels had negative equity: trailing 12-month NOI debt yield 5.6% vs ~8.8% interest rate.
- Net debt to gross assets to decrease by >3 pp; total debt reduced by ~$700M (over 18%).
- Non-extended hotels generated only ~10% of trailing Hotel EBITDA; RevPAR to increase ~3% after removal.
