ITEM 3.02    UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

From June 7, 2024 through July 2, 2024, Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into privately negotiated exchange agreements with certain holders of its 8.45% Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), 7.375% Series F Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series F Preferred Stock”), 7.375% Series G Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series G Preferred Stock”), 7.50% Series H Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series H Preferred Stock”) and 7.50% Series I Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (together with the Series D Preferred Stock, the Series F Preferred Stock, the Series G Preferred Stock and the Series H Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”) in reliance on Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. During this period, the Company agreed to exchange a total of approximately 2,285,009 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), for an aggregate of approximately 136,835 shares of Preferred Stock.

From March 1, 2024 through March 12, 2024, the Company agreed to exchange a total of approximately 1,338,000 shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate of approximately 159,000 shares of Preferred Stock.

The Company did not receive any cash proceeds as a result of the exchange of the Preferred Stock for the Common Stock, and the shares of Preferred Stock exchanged have been retired and cancelled. The issuance of the shares of the Common Stock was made by the Company pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, contained in Section 3(a)(9) of such act on the basis that these offers constituted an exchange with existing holders of the Company’s securities, and no commission or other remuneration was paid to any party for soliciting such exchange. This current report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to exchange any securities of the Company for the Common Stock, the Preferred Stock or other securities of the Company.
