Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Related Party Transactions | Related Party Transactions Ashford Inc. Advisory Agreement Ashford LLC, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., acts as our advisor. Our chairman, Mr. Monty Bennett, also serves as chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer of Ashford Inc. Under our advisory agreement, we pay advisory fees to Ashford LLC. We pay a monthly base fee equal to 1/12 th of the sum of (i) 0.70% of the total market capitalization of our company for the prior month, plus (ii) the Net Asset Fee Adjustment (as defined in our advisory agreement), if any, on the last day of the prior month during which our advisory agreement was in effect; provided, however in no event shall the base fee for any month be less than the minimum base fee as provided by our advisory agreement. The base fee is payable on the fifth business day of each month. The minimum base fee for Braemar for each month will be equal to the greater of: ▪90% of the base fee paid for the same month in the prior year; and ▪1/12 th of the G&A Ratio (as defined) multiplied by the total market capitalization of Braemar. We are also required to pay Ashford LLC an incentive fee that is measured annually (or for a stub period if the advisory agreement is terminated at other than year-end). Each year that our annual total stockholder return exceeds the average annual total stockholder return for our peer group we pay Ashford LLC an incentive fee over the following three years, subject to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) Condition, as defined in the advisory agreement, which relates to the ratio of adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges. We also reimburse Ashford LLC for certain reimbursable overhead and internal audit, risk management advisory and asset management services, as specified in the advisory agreement. We also recorded equity-based compensation expense for equity grants of common stock and LTIP units awarded to officers and employees of Ashford LLC in connection with providing advisory services. The following table summarizes the advisory services fees incurred (in thousands):

________ (1)Reimbursable expenses include overhead, internal audit, risk management advisory and asset management services. (2) Equity-based compensation is associated with equity grants of Braemar’s common stock, PSUs, LTIP units and Performance LTIP units awarded to officers and employees of Ashford LLC. (3) The $(678,000) incentive fee in 2020 is a result of not meeting the FCCR threshold required for paying the final installment of the incentive fee incurred in 2018. Pursuant to the Company's hotel management agreements with each hotel management company, the Company bears the economic burden for casualty insurance coverage. Under the advisory agreement, Ashford Inc. secures casualty insurance policies to cover Braemar, Ashford Trust, their hotel managers, as needed, and Ashford Inc. The total loss estimates included in such policies are based on the collective pool of risk exposures from each party. Ashford Inc.'s risk management department manages the casualty insurance program. At the beginning of each year, Ashford Inc.'s risk management department collects funds from Braemar, Ashford Trust and their respective hotel management companies, to fund the casualty insurance program as needed, on an allocated basis. Lismore On March 20, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Lismore, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., to engage Lismore to seek modifications, forbearances or refinancings of the Company’s loans (the “Lismore Agreement”). The Lismore Agreement was terminated effective March 20, 2021. Upon entering into the agreement with Lismore, the Company made an initial payment of approximately $1.4 million. The Company paid approximately $1.4 million related to periodic installments of which $683,000 was expensed in accordance with the agreement. The remaining $681,000 was set off against the cash payment of the base advisory fee per the agreement upon contract termination in March 2021. Further, the Company paid approximately $1.4 million in success fees in connection with signed forbearance or other agreements. In total, the Company paid approximately $4.1 million under the Lismore Agreement. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized expense of $341,000 and $3.1 million, respectively. These expenses are included in “write-off of loan costs and exit fees” in the consolidated statements of operations. On August 25, 2020, in light of the fact that Lismore negotiated access to the FF&E reserves but no forbearance on debt service for the $435 million mortgage loan secured by the Marriott Seattle Waterfront, Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile, The Notary Hotel and The Clancy, the independent members of the board of directors of Ashford Inc. waived $1.6 million of Lismore success fees associated with items (ii) and (iii) above. The Company engaged Lismore to negotiate, on the Company’s behalf, one or more modifications to the terms of the mortgage loan assumed in connection with the acquisition of the Mr. C Beverly Hills Hotel. Upon closing of the hotel, the Company paid Lismore a fee of $150,000. Ashford Securities On September 25, 2019, Ashford Inc. announced the formation of Ashford Securities LLC (“Ashford Securities”) to raise retail capital in order to grow its existing and future platforms. In conjunction with the formation of Ashford Securities, Braemar has entered into a contribution agreement (the “Initial Contribution Agreement”) with Ashford Inc. pursuant to which Braemar has agreed to contribute, with Ashford Trust, up to $15.0 million to fund the operations of Ashford Securities. Costs for all operating expenses of Ashford Securities that were contributed by Ashford Trust and Braemar will be expensed as incurred. These costs were allocated initially to Ashford Trust and Braemar based on an allocation percentage of 75% to Ashford Trust and 25% Braemar. Upon reaching the earlier of $400 million in aggregate non-listed preferred equity offerings raised or June 10, 2023, there will be a true up (the “Initial True-Up Date”) between Ashford Trust and Braemar, whereby the actual capital contributions contributed by each company will be based on the actual amount of capital raised by Ashford Trust and Braemar, respectively. After the Initial True-Up Date, the capital contributions will be allocated between Ashford Trust and Braemar quarterly based on the actual capital raised through Ashford Securities. On December 31, 2020, an Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement”) was entered into by Ashford Inc., Ashford Trust and Braemar with respect to expenses to be reimbursed by Ashford Securities. The Initial True-Up Date did not occur, and beginning on the effective date of the Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement, costs will be allocated based upon an allocation percentage of 50% to Ashford Inc., 50% to Braemar and 0% to Ashford Trust. Upon reaching the earlier of $400 million in aggregate non-listed preferred equity offerings raised, or June 10, 2023, there will be an amended and restated true up (the “Amended and Restated True-Up Date”) among Ashford Inc., Ashford Trust and Braemar whereby the actual expense reimbursement paid by each company will be based on the actual amount of capital raised by Ashford Inc., Ashford Trust and Braemar, respectively, through Ashford Securities. After the Amended and Restated True-Up Date, the expense reimbursements will be allocated among Ashford Inc., Ashford Trust and Braemar quarterly based on the actual capital raised through Ashford Securities. Additionally, Braemar’s aggregate Capital Contributions under the Initial Contribution Agreement and the Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement shall not exceed $3.75 million unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Braemar. As of December 31, 2021, Braemar has funded approximately $3.5 million. Additionally, as of December 31, 2021, $338,000 of the pre-funded amount was included in “other assets” on our consolidated balance sheets. The table below summarizes the amount Braemar has expensed related to reimbursed operating expenses of Ashford Securities (in thousands):
|  |  |  | Year Ended December 31,
Line Item |  |  |  |  |  | 2021 |  | 2020 |  | 2019

Enhanced Return Funding Program Concurrent with Amendment No. 1 to the Fifth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement with Ashford Inc. (“Amendment No. 1”), on January 15, 2019, the Company also entered into the Enhanced Return Funding Program Agreement (the “ERFP Agreement”) with Ashford Inc. The “key money investments” concept previously contemplated by our advisory agreement was replaced with the ERFP Agreement. The Fifth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement was also amended to name Ashford Inc. and its subsidiaries as the Company’s sole and exclusive provider of asset management, design and construction and other services offered by Ashford Inc. or any of its subsidiaries. The independent members of our board of directors and the independent members of the board of directors of Ashford Inc., with the assistance of separate and independent legal counsel, engaged to negotiate the ERFP Agreement on behalf of Ashford Inc. and Braemar, respectively. The ERFP Agreement generally provides that Ashford LLC will provide funding to facilitate the acquisition of properties by Braemar OP that are recommended by Ashford LLC, in an aggregate amount of up to $50 million (subject to increase to up to $100 million by mutual agreement). Each funding will equal 10% of the property acquisition price and will be made either at the time of the property acquisition or at any time generally within the two-year period following the date of such acquisition, in exchange for FF&E for use at the acquired property or any other property owned by Braemar OP. The initial term of the ERFP Agreement was two years (the “Initial Term”). At the end of the Initial Term, the ERFP Agreement automatically renewed for one year and shall automatically renew for successive one-year periods (each such period a “Renewal Term”) unless either Ashford Inc. or Braemar provides written notice to the other at least sixty days in advance of the expiration of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable, that such notifying party intends not to renew the ERFP Agreement. As a result of The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe acquisition, Braemar was entitled to receive $10.3 million from Ashford LLC in the form of future purchases of FF&E at Braemar hotel properties that will be leased to us by Ashford LLC rent-free. As of December 31, 2021, Ashford LLC has remitted payments of $10.3 million to the Company as further described below. On June 26, 2019 and July 1, 2019, the Company sold $1.4 million and $8.9 million, respectively, of hotel FF&E from Braemar hotel properties to Ashford LLC which was subsequently leased back to the Company rent-free. In accordance with ASC 842, the Company evaluated the transactions and concluded that the transaction qualified as a sale. As a result, the Company recorded gains of $9,000 and $23,000, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2019. The gains are recorded in “gain (loss) on insurance settlement, disposition of assets and sale of hotel property” in our consolidated statements of operations. Under the applicable accounting guidance in ASC 842, the Company has not recorded an operating lease right-of-use asset, an operating lease liability or lease expense for rents as the related party lease has no economic substance because the related party lease is provided rent-free. In 2015, prior to the inception of the ERFP program, $2.0 million of key money consideration was invested in FF&E by Ashford LLC to be used by Braemar, which represented all of the key money consideration for the Bardessono Hotel and Spa. Upon adoption of ASC 842, we evaluated this arrangement, which was accounted for as a lease that expired in 2020. Under the applicable guidance in ASC 842, as the related party lease is provided rent-free, there is no economic substance related to the lease which results in not recording an operating lease right-of-use asset, an operating lease liability or lease expense for rents. Upon expiration of the lease the underlying FF&E was purchased from Ashford Inc. for $200,000. In 2021, the Company sold approximately $1.6 million of hotel FF&E from Braemar hotel properties to Ashford LLC, which was subsequently leased back to the Company rent-free. In accordance with ASC 842, the Company evaluated the transactions and concluded that the transactions qualified as sales. As a result, the Company recorded an aggregate gain of $197,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The gains are recorded in “gain (loss) on insurance settlement, disposition of assets and sale of hotel properties” in our consolidated statements of operations. Upon expiration of an ERFP lease, the Company purchased the underlying FF&E from Ashford Inc. at fair value for $144,000, which was paid during the third quarter of 2021. On November 8, 2021, the Company received written notice from the Advisor of its intention not to renew the ERFP program. As a result, the ERFP Agreement terminated in accordance with its terms on January 15, 2022. Design and Construction Services In connection with Ashford Inc.’s August 8, 2018 acquisition of Remington Lodging’s design and construction business, we entered into a design and construction services agreement with Ashford Inc.’s subsidiary, Premier Project Management LLC (“Premier”), pursuant to which Premier provides design and construction services to our hotels, including construction management, interior design, architectural services, and the purchasing, freight management, and supervision of installation of FF&E and related services. Pursuant to the design and construction services agreement, we pay Premier: (a) design and construction fees of up to 4% of project costs; and (b) for the following services: (i) architectural (6.5% of total construction costs); (ii) construction management for projects without a general contractor (10% of total construction costs); (iii) interior design (6% of the purchase price of the FF&E designed or selected by Premier); and (iv) FF&E purchasing (8% of the purchase price of FF&E purchased by Premier; provided that if the purchase price exceeds $2.0 million for a single hotel in a calendar year, then the purchasing fee is reduced to 6% of the FF&E purchase price in excess of $2.0 million for such hotel in such calendar year). On March 20, 2020, we amended the design and construction services agreement to provide that Premier’s fees shall be paid by the Company to Premier upon the completion of any work provided by third-party vendors to the Company. Hotel Management Services On November 6, 2019, Ashford Inc. completed the acquisition of Remington Lodging’s hotel management business. Following the acquisition, hotel management services are provided by Remington Hotels, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., under the respective hotel management agreement with each customer, including Ashford Trust and Braemar. At December 31, 2021, Remington Hotels managed four of our 14 hotel properties. We pay monthly hotel management fees equal to the greater of approximately $15,000 per hotel (increased annually based on consumer price index adjustments) or 3% of gross revenues as well as annual incentive management fees, if certain operational criteria were met and other general and administrative expense reimbursements primarily related to accounting services. Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement dated March 13, 2020 (the “Hotel Management Letter Agreement”), in order to allow Remington Hotels to better manage its corporate working capital and to ensure the continued efficient operation of our hotels, we agreed to pay the base fee and to reimburse all expenses on a weekly basis for the preceding week, rather than on a monthly basis. The Hotel Management Letter Agreement went into effect on March 13, 2020 and will continue until terminated by us. We also have a mutual exclusivity agreement with Remington Hotels, pursuant to which: (i) we have agreed to engage Remington Hotels to provide management services with respect to any hotel we acquire or invest in, to the extent we have the right and/or control the right to direct the management of such hotel; and (ii) Remington Hotels has agreed to grant us a right of first refusal to purchase any opportunity to develop or construct a hotel that it identifies that meets our initial investment guidelines. We are not, however, obligated to engage Remington Hotels if our independent directors either: (i) unanimously vote to hire a different manager or developer; or (ii) by a majority vote elect not to engage such related party because either special circumstances exist such that it would be in the best interest of our Company not to engage such related party, or, based on related party’s prior performance, it is believed that another manager could perform the management or other duties materially better.Ashford TrustAs of December 31, 2021, the Company had a $728,000 receivable from Ashford Trust, included in “due from related parties, net.” The receivable relates to a legal settlement between Ashford Trust and the City of San Francisco regarding a transfer tax matter associated with the transfer of The Clancy from Ashford Trust to Braemar upon Braemar’s 2013 spin-off from Ashford Trust. The transfer taxes were initially paid by Braemar at the time of the spin-off. The $728,000 gain is included in “(gain) loss on legal settlements” on the consolidated statements of operations. Remington Lodging (prior to Ashford Inc. acquisition) Remington Lodging was a hotel and design and construction company, wholly owned by our chairman, Mr. Monty J. Bennett and Mr. Archie Bennett, Jr. who is Ashford Trust’s chairman emeritus. We had master hotel and design and construction services agreements and hotel and design and construction services mutual exclusivity agreements with Remington Lodging. On November 6, 2019, Ashford Inc. completed the acquisition of Remington Lodging’s hotel management business. As a result of the acquisition, hotel management services that were previously provided by Remington Lodging are now be provided by a subsidiary of Ashford Inc. under the respective hotel management agreement with each customer, including Ashford Trust and Braemar under the Remington Hotels name. Between January 1, 2019 and November 5, 2019, we paid Remington Lodging monthly hotel management fees equal to the greater of approximately $14,000 (increased annually based on consumer price index adjustments) or 3% of gross revenues as well as annual incentive hotel management fees, if certain operational criteria were met and other general and administrative expense reimbursements primarily related to accounting services.
