ASHFORD STOCKHOLDERS APPROVE COMBINATION

WITH REMINGTON

 

A Majority of the Minority Votes Cast Vote in Favor of the Combination

 

DALLAS, October 24, 2019 — Ashford Inc. (NYSE American: AINC) (“Ashford” or the “Company”) announced that its stockholders approved the proposals relating to the Company’s combination with Remington Holdings, LP (“Remington”) at a special meeting held earlier today.  Holders of approximately 92% of Ashford shares present and voting at the meeting, representing over 75% of outstanding voting shares, voted in favor of the combination, and approximately 87% of shares, excluding shares owned by the Bennett family, present and voting at the meeting voted in favor of the combination.  Also, approximately 70% of shares, excluding shares owned by Ashford Hospitality Trust (NYSE: AHT), Braemar Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: BHR), and insiders and related parties, present and voting at the meeting voted in favor of the combination.  The combination will create the only public, pure-play provider of asset and property management services to the lodging industry.

 

“With stockholder support of our combination with Remington, we have achieved a significant milestone as we move to complete this transformational transaction,” said Monty J. Bennett, Ashford’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  “We recently received the private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service and currently anticipate closing the transaction on or around November 6, 2019.  The combination will rapidly build operating scale and earnings power, and we expect it to significantly accelerate Ashford’s growth.”

 

Ashford provides global asset management, investment management and related services to the real estate and hospitality sectors.
