Current report
We may face challenges managing rapidly advancing artificial intelligence in our business which could adversely affect our competitive position.
Current report
The development and evolution of artificial intelligence is occurring at a rapid pace. Artificial intelligence may present an opportunity to create meaningful efficiencies and improve our business performance, but it could present similar opportunities for our competitors, and the use of artificial intelligence by us or our hotel manager, franchisors or vendors may pose new and more severe cybersecurity challenges. The use of artificial intelligence by hotel guests may change the way they find and purchase lodging or other hotel services. If we or our hotel manager, franchisors or vendors are unable to apply artificial intelligence to our business successfully or our competitors gain competitive advantages over us through their application of artificial intelligence, our financial condition, results of operations, the market price of our common shares and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders may be adversely affected.
Current report
A delay in approving a budget and/or continuing appropriation legislation to fund the operations of the federal government, failure to raise the borrowing limit for the federal government, and other legislative changes and governmental disruptions could affect travel directly and indirectly and may thereby negatively impact our revenues and cash available for distributions.
Current report
The delay in approving a budget and continuing appropriation legislation to fund the federal government's operations caused many federal agencies to cease or curtail some activities during the fourth quarter of 2013 and for an even longer period of time beginning in the fourth quarter of 2018 and the third quarter of 2025. There can be no assurance that similar action or inaction by federal or state government agencies, or other efforts to reduce government expenditures or growth, will not occur again in future periods, resulting in difficulties and discouraging travel or meetings and conferences. The reduction in income from both businesses and federal government employees and the possibility of another federal government impasse may adversely affect consumer confidence or may discourage both business and leisure travel, resulting in the deferral or cancellation of travel and a negative effect on our group and transient revenues in the future. Such impacts could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Previous wording
The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue to have, or a future pandemic could have, adverse effects on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance.
Current wording
The COVID-19 pandemic had, and a future pandemic could have, adverse effects on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance.
Previous wording
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a severe and negative impact on both the U.S. economy and the global economy. Financial markets have experienced significant volatility as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Globally and throughout the United States, federal and local governments instituted quarantines, restrictions on travel, school closings, "shelter in place" orders, and restrictions on types of businesses that could continue operations. These restrictions had a severe impact on the U.S. lodging industry.

Previous wording
The rapid development and fluidity of the COVID-19 pandemic made it extremely difficult to assess the pandemic's full adverse economic impact, and future impact, on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance. An outbreak of another disease or similar public health threat, or fear of such an event, that affects travel demand, travel behavior or travel restrictions could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results. Outbreaks of other diseases could also result in increased government restrictions and regulation, such as those actions described above or otherwise, which could adversely affect our operations.

Previous wording
As of December 31, 2024, IHM managed all 37 of our hotels. As a result, a substantial portion of our revenue is generated by hotels managed by IHM. This significant concentration of operational risk in one hotel management company makes us more vulnerable economically than if our hotel management was more diversified among several hotel management companies. Any adverse developments in IHM's business and affairs, financial strength or ability to operate our hotels efficiently and effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders. We cannot provide assurance that IHM will satisfy its obligations to us or effectively and efficiently operate out hotel properties.

Previous wording
Future terrorist attacks or changes in terror alert levels could adversely affect travel and hotel demand.
Current wording
Future terrorist attacks, rumors or threats of war, or changes in terror alert levels could adversely affect travel and hotel demand.
Previous wording
Previous terrorist attacks and subsequent terrorist alerts have adversely affected the U.S. travel and hospitality industries, often disproportionately to the effect on the overall economy. The impact that terrorist attacks in the U.S. or elsewhere could have on domestic and international travel and our business in particular cannot be determined but any such attacks or the threat of such attacks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to finance our business, to insure our properties and to make distributions to our shareholders.

Previous wording
Under our revolving credit facility and term loan, our distributions may not exceed the greater of (i) 95% of adjusted funds from operations (as defined in our senior unsecured revolving credit facility and term loan) for the preceding four-quarter period or (ii) the amount required for us to maintain our status as a REIT. As a result, if we do not generate sufficient adjusted funds from operations during the four quarters preceding any common share dividend payment date, we would not be able to pay dividends to our common shareholders consistent with our past practice without causing a default under our revolving credit facility and term loan. In the event of a default under our revolving credit facility or term loan, we would be unable to borrow under our revolving credit facility or term loan and any amounts we have borrowed thereunder could become due and payable.

Previous wording
We also may issue from time to time additional common shares or common units in our Operating Partnership in connection with the acquisition of properties and we may grant demand or piggyback registration rights in connection with these issuances. Sales of substantial amounts of our common shares or the perception that these sales could occur may adversely affect the prevailing market price for our common shares or may impair our ability to raise capital through a sale of additional equity securities. Our Equity Incentive Plan provides for grants of equity based awards up to an aggregate of 4,600,000 common shares and we may seek to increase shares available under our Equity Incentive Plan in the future. Our DRSPP (defined below) permits the purchase of up to $50 million of our common shares through purchases and reinvestment of dividends on our common shares.
