Expansion of Hotel Asset Portfolio. Part of our long-term growth strategy includes acquisitions or developments of other hotels, particularly in the group meetings sector of the hospitality industry, either alone or through joint ventures or alliances with one or more third parties. We will consider attractive investment opportunities which meet our acquisition parameters, specifically, group-oriented large hotels and overflow hotels with existing or potential leisure appeal. We are generally interested in highly accessible upper-upscale or luxury assets with over 400 hotel rooms in urban and resort group destination markets. We also consider assets that possess significant meeting space or present a repositioning opportunity and/or would significantly benefit from capital investment in additional rooms or meeting space. We are consistently considering acquisitions that would expand the geographic diversity of our existing asset portfolio. To this end, we purchased JW Marriott Hill Country in June 2023 and JW Marriott Desert Ridge in June 2025.

Leverage Brand Name Awareness. We believe the Grand Ole Opry is one of the most recognized entertainment brands in the United States. We promote the Grand Ole Opry name through various media, including our WSM-AM radio station, the Internet and television, and through performances by the Grand Ole Opry’s members, many of whom are renowned country music artists. As such, we have alliances in place with multiple distribution partners in an effort to foster brand extension. We believe that licensing our brand may provide an opportunity to increase revenues and cash flow with relatively little capital investment. We are continuously exploring additional products, such as television specials and retail products, through which we can capitalize on our brand affinity and awareness. To this end, we have purchased Block 21, invested in six Ole Red locations and recently announced the planned development of a seventh Ole Red location that is expected to open in early 2028, opened our first Category 10 in November 2024 and have announced the development of two additional Category 10 locations that are expected to open in late 2026 and early 2028, respectively, purchased a majority interest in Southern Entertainment in January 2025, and began managing the Ascend Amphitheater in January 2026 and the CCNB Amphitheatre in February 2026. In September 2025, the Grand Ole Opry traveled to the Royal Albert Hall in London for the first international performance in its history. Further, in 2022, we completed a strategic transaction to sell a minority interest in OEG to an affiliate of Atairos Group, Inc. and its strategic partner NBCUniversal Media, LLC, who we believe will continue to help us expand the distribution of our OEG brands.

Each of our management agreements with Marriott requires us to pay Marriott a base management fee based on the gross revenues from the applicable property for each fiscal year or portion thereof. The applicable percentage for our Gaylord Hotels properties, excluding Gaylord Rockies, is approximately 2% of gross revenues, Gaylord Rockies, JW Marriott Desert Ridge and Grande Lakes Orlando are approximately 3% of gross revenues, and JW Marriott Hill Country is approximately 3.5% of gross revenues. Additionally, we pay Marriott an incentive management fee based on the profitability of our hotels. In the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, we incurred $13.7 million and $12.0 million, respectively, and in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, we incurred $42.4 million and $36.0 million, respectively, related to base management fees for our Hospitality segment. In the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, we incurred $7.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively, and in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, we incurred $23.0 million and $19.3 million, respectively, related to incentive management fees for our Hospitality segment. Management fees are presented throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q net of the amortization of the deferred management rights proceeds discussed in Note 5, “Deferred Management Rights Proceeds,” to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
