DiamondRock Hospitality Co

The Company’s management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, and has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurances that information we disclose in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

In the second quarter of 2024, the Company completed the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system. This implementation resulted in changes to our reporting processes and our internal controls over financial reporting, by automating certain manual procedures and standardizing business processes. As a result of this implementation, we updated the design of internal controls over financial reporting to address the impacted processes and the related risks. We will continue to monitor our internal control over financial reporting under the new ERP system, including evaluating the operating effectiveness of related key controls.

Other than the new ERP system described above, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
