Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract] |
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership | Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Operating PartnershipRedeemable noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership represents the limited partners’ proportionate share of equity and their allocable share of equity in earnings/losses of Braemar OP, which is an allocation of net income/loss attributable to the common unitholders based on the weighted average ownership percentage of these limited partners’ common units of limited partnership interest in the operating partnership (the “common units”) and units issued under our Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP” units) that are vested. Each common unit may be redeemed, by the holder, for either cash or, at our sole discretion, up to one share of our REIT common stock, which is either: (i) issued pursuant to an effective registration statement; (ii) included in an effective registration statement providing for the resale of such common stock; or (iii) issued subject to a registration rights agreement. LTIP units, which are issued to certain executives and employees of Ashford LLC as compensation, generally have vesting periods of three years. Additionally, certain independent members of the board of directors have elected to receive LTIP units as part of their compensation, which are fully vested upon grant. Upon reaching economic parity with common units, each vested LTIP unit can be converted by the holder into one common unit which can then be redeemed for cash or, at our election, settled in our common stock. An LTIP unit will achieve parity with the common units upon the sale or deemed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of our operating partnership at a time when our stock is trading at a level in excess of the price it was trading on the date of the LTIP issuance. More specifically, LTIP units will achieve full economic parity with common units in connection with (i) the actual sale of all or substantially all of the assets of our operating partnership or (ii) the hypothetical sale of such assets, which results from a capital account revaluation, as defined in the partnership agreement, for our operating partnership. The Company issued equity awards in the first quarter of 2021, a substantial majority of which were issued subject to stockholder approval of an increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. Under the applicable accounting literature, these awards are not accounted for until stockholder approval is obtained. In March 2021, approximately 244,000 LTIP units with a fair value of approximately $1.7 million and a vesting period of three years were granted. Stockholder approval was obtained on May 11, 2021. On May 11, 2021, approximately 202,000 LTIP units with a fair value of $1.4 million and a vesting period of three years were issued. Additionally, approximately 23,000 LTIP units were issued to independent directors, with a fair value of approximately $164,000, which vested immediately upon grant. The compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company may authorize the issuance of Performance LTIP units to certain executive officers and directors from time to time. The award agreements provide for the grant of a target number of Performance LTIP units that will be settled in common units of Braemar OP, if, when and to the extent the applicable vesting criteria have been achieved following the end of the performance and service period, which is generally three years from the grant date. With respect to the 2019 and 2020 award agreements, the number of Performance LTIP units actually earned may range from 0% to 200% of target based on achievement of a specified relative total stockholder return based on the formula determined by the Company’s compensation committee on the grant date. The performance criteria for the Performance LTIP units are based on market conditions under the relevant literature. The corresponding compensation cost is recognized ratably over the service period for the award as the service is rendered, based on the grant date fair value of the award, regardless of the actual outcome of the market condition. With respect to the 2021 award agreements, the compensation committee shifted to a new performance metric, pursuant to which, the performance awards will be eligible to vest, from 0% to 200% of target, based on achievement of certain performance targets over the three-year performance period commencing on January 1, 2021 and ending on December 31, 2023. The performance criteria for the 2021 performance grants are based on performance conditions under the relevant literature. The corresponding compensation cost is recognized ratably over the service period for the award as the service is rendered, based on the grant date fair value of the award. The grant date fair value of the award may vary from period to period, as the number of performance grants earned may vary since the estimated probable achievement of certain performance targets may vary from period to period. On May 11, 2021, approximately 840,000 Performance LTIP units with a fair value of approximately $5.7 million and a vesting period of three years were granted. As of September 30, 2021, we have issued a total of approximately 2.4 million LTIP units (including Performance LTIP units), net of cancellations, all of which, other than approximately 572,000 LTIP units and 900,000 Performance LTIP units issued from March 2015 to May 2021, had reached full economic parity with, and are convertible into, common units. On August 5, 2021, we issued 2.5 million common units in our operating partnership in conjunction with the acquisition of the Mr. C Beverly Hills Hotel. See note 4.
