Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and the Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm required by this Item 9A are contained in Part IV, Item 15 of this annual report and are incorporated herein by reference.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

We are currently in the process of assessing and integrating Playa Hotels' internal control over financial reporting with our existing internal control over financial reporting.

Except as described above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The scope of management's assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting included all of our consolidated operations, except for Playa Hotels, for which the minimum tender condition pursuant to a tender offer process was satisfied on June 11, 2025 and for which we completed the acquisition on June 17, 2025. This exclusion is in accordance with the SEC staff's general guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from the scope of management's assessment for one year following the acquisition. Subsequent to the Playa Hotels Acquisition, we completed the sale of the Playa Hotels Portfolio to unrelated third parties and entered into long-term management agreements for 13 of the 15 hotels. The business that we acquired in the Playa Hotels Acquisition represented approximately 8% of our total assets, 5% of our total revenues, and 20% of our net income (loss) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.
