The company's business strategy focuses on owning premium-branded hotels in high-growth markets, proactive asset management, disciplined acquisitions, opportunistic capital recycling, and maintaining a flexible balance sheet[27](index=27&type=chunk) - The company emphasizes its commitment to ESG initiatives, highlighting a **diverse board** (four women, six ethnically diverse, eight independent trustees) and adherence to frameworks like the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)[54](index=54&type=chunk) Hotel Brand Affiliations as of December 31, 2021 | Brand Family | Number of Hotels | Percentage of Total Hotels | Number of Rooms | Percentage of Total Rooms | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Marriott** | 39 | 39.9% | 7,992 | 36.8% | | **Hilton** | 35 | 35.7% | 8,659 | 40.0% | | **Hyatt** | 12 | 12.2% | 1,920 | 8.9% | | **Wyndham** | 7 | 7.1% | 2,241 | 10.3% | | **Other** | 5 | 5.1% | 858 | 4.0% | | **Total** | **98** | **100.0%** | **21,670** | **100.0%** | [Risk Factors](index=12&type=section&id=Item%201A.%20Risk%20Factors) The company faces significant risks from the COVID-19 pandemic, substantial debt, operational dependencies, and its REIT status [Risks Related to Our Business and Hotel Properties](index=12&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Our%20Business%20and%20Hotel%20Properties) Operational risks include COVID-19 disruption, significant debt, market concentration, and reliance on third-party managers -

The company is highly dependent on third-party management companies, with **Aimbridge Hospitality managing 30** of its hotels as of December 31, 2021[68](index=68&type=chunk) - A substantial portion of the hotel portfolio (**86 of 98 properties**) operates under Marriott, Hilton, or Hyatt brands, creating a concentration risk tied to the success of these three brand families[76](index=76&type=chunk) -

To qualify as a REIT, rental income must be from true leases; the company leases its hotels to its TRSs, and if these leases are not respected as true leases for tax purposes, the company would **likely fail to qualify as a REIT**[132](index=132&type=chunk) [Unresolved Staff Comments](index=26&type=section&id=Item%201B.%20Unresolved%20Staff%20Comments) The company reports no unresolved staff comments from the Securities and Exchange Commission -

To qualify as a REIT, the company **leases its hotels to its TRS lessees**, which in turn engage third-party management companies[162](index=162&type=chunk) [Legal Proceedings](index=30&type=section&id=Item%203.%20Legal%20Proceedings) The company is not presently subject to any material litigation outside of the ordinary course of business -
