what happened
Ashford Hospitality Trust said its adviser, Ashford Inc., will waive about $17 million of advisory fees over six months. The adviser also committed to buy 2.5% of AHT's shares on the open market each quarter. If those purchases are not completed, the adviser faces a fee credit of 150% of the shortfall.
The company also terminated its at-the-market equity program, which lowers the risk of new share issuance in the near term. The first quarter's purchase base is about 162 thousand shares, and timing can extend up to six months after the quarter. The fee waiver is worth roughly $2.60 per common share. The details were reported by TradingView, based on a press release distributed by PR Newswire.
why it matters
For shareholders, the fee waiver reduces near-term cash outflows, while regular buybacks by the adviser add steady demand for the stock. Ending the ATM program removes a source of possible dilution. The scale of the company limits the market impact, and the outcome will depend on how the buy plan is executed and on progress in refinancing.
