Our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, has adopted valuation guidelines, as amended from time to time, that contain a comprehensive set of methodologies to be used by our Advisor and our independent valuation advisor in connection with estimating the values of our assets and liabilities for purposes of our NAV calculation. Our NAV per share, which is updated as of the last calendar day of each month, is made available on our toll-free, automated telephone line at (833) 591-3088. Please refer to “Net Asset Value Calculation and Valuation Guidelines” in the Form 10 for how our NAV is determined. The Advisor is ultimately responsible for determining our NAV. All our property investments are appraised annually by third-party appraisal firms in accordance with our valuation guidelines and such appraisals are reviewed by our independent valuation advisor. We have included a breakdown of the components of total NAV and NAV per share for March 31, 2025.

Our total NAV presented in the following tables includes the NAV of all of our outstanding common stock as well as partnership units in the Operating Partnership held by parties other than us. The following table provides a breakdown of the major components of our total NAV as of March 31, 2025 ($ and shares in thousands, except per share/unit data):

Set forth below are the weighted averages of the key assumptions in the discounted cash flow methodology used in the March 31, 2025 valuations:

						Discount Rate						Exit Capitalization Rate
Hotel properties						10.38		%				8.68		%

A change in these assumptions would impact the calculation of the value of our hotel properties. For example, assuming all other factors remain unchanged, the changes listed below would result in the following effects on our property values:

Sensitivities	Change	Asset Values
Discount rate	0.25% decrease	$	68,600
	0.25% increase	$	66,000
Exit capitalization rate	0.25% decrease	$	68,000
