(NYSE: AINC) to the common shareholders of record as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange on October 29, 2019 (each an "AHT Shareholder").

The fair market value for federal income tax purposes of AINC common stock was $22.65 per share based on the closing price on November 5, 2019. After the distribution, Ashford Trust no longer has any ownership interest in AINC.
The above income tax discussion contains a general explanation of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the distribution of the AINC shares to AHT Shareholders. The information represents Ashford Trust's general understanding of the application of certain existing U.S. federal income tax laws and regulations relating to the distribution.
